Alan Colmes Busts Dale Robertson on Racist Photo
It’s true. The liberal radio host (formerly of “Hannity and”) posts a Jan. 7 radio interview with Dale Robertson in which the Tea Party activist defended his use of the slogan “taxpayer = niggar” on a sign. (The interview was conducted three days after I posted a photo of the sign.)
“„COLMES: What do you mean by the word “NIGGAR?” What is that?
“„ROBERTSON: I don’t know, what does it mean to you?
“„COLMES: That’s what?
“„ROBERTSON: What does it mean to you?
“„COLMES: I don’t know, I didn’t write it. I’ve never seen that word before. What’s NIGGAR?
“„ROBERTSON: Well, I just don’t agree with what Congress is doing to the American people.
“„COLMES: But why that word?
“„ROBERTSON: Really the proper word is “slave.”
“„COLMES: You said “Congress is the slaveowner, taxpayer is the NIGGAR.”
“„ROBERTSON: Well, Ron Dellums actually coined that word.
It looks increasingly like Robertson wasted Tommy Christopher’s time by claiming, out of the blue, that the photo was forged.
