I am going to point out that there was an edited video of him, made to make him look like a thug. I haven't seen either the original nor the faked one, but this sounds like the faked one to me.

You didn't use capital letters in the thread title or the actual post, which consists of the word "Thug" and a link to a youtube video, without explaining what we're supposed to be talking about or why we should care. This is not the right way to do a thread.

One does not simply post into OTC.

I'm more trusting of CNN than a video by a blog called "Rightface." CNN's is shorter, though.

EDIT: full quote was: "Everybody here's got to vote. If we go back & keep the eye on the prize, let's take these sons of bitches out":

Okay, but who is the guy in this video? Why should I care? How does this relate to the world at large? What is to be discussed here?

None of these questions have been answered.

I don't see anything uncivil about that. It's certainly better than the sinister veneer of "Protecting the God-Given rights and freedoms America was founded on!" before slathering a crowd in anti-gay and anti-abortion rhetoric.

I'd rather the correct message has a swear word in it than the wrong message being delivered at all.
