Alec Baldwin (Yes, the Actor) Unearths Small-Town Obama Haterade

In the style of The Onion (except totally lacking in tact), writer Rick Murphy of the Independent’s “Low Tidings” column wrote an article called “Why I Should Be Our Next President,” credited to Yo Mama Bin Barack. (Can you say collective P.C. wince?)

A tidbit:

Ultimately, if [Hillary Clinton] gets too close, one of my New York advisors has advised me to, ‘Bitch slap that ho.’ White women, I am told, like that. (Black women, on the other hand, do not. I tried that once on AliBama and she beat the living shit out of me.

Well, that’s not very nice, Murphy-posing-as-Barack.

The article’s been pulled and replaced with an apology. For those that want to see all the ugly, fear not — HuffPo sleuthy sleuth Alec Baldwin posted a screenshot.

News of the article sparked the appropriate “THAT’S DISGUSTING!” from everyone within earshot, as well as a discourse on the merits of free speech, “feeling” versus “thinking,” and political correctness in general. Hrm. That’s a lot of ground covered. See it all in this comment box.
