Alan Colmes Busts Dale Robertson on Racist Photo, Jan 2010

Alan Colmes Busts Dale Robertson on Racist Photo

It’s true. The liberal radio host (formerly of “Hannity and&rdquo 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.
