There’s no reason to draw attention to his calling someone “brother”. This is just nit-picking stupidity. This is the kind of meaningless shit Fox News would draw attention to to attack a liberal.
@ogrish84
It’s odd, it looks almost like hes standing in front of a green screen, I haven’t even seen anyone look at him or the camera its like hes not even there. I’ve seen him talk to people there, but not in these sessions.
It would be funny if he called Cain homie
I knew people were gonna point this out….who cares?
I like the guy at the end with the “Jesus loves you” sign.
If there is nothing wrong with Perry saying Brother then why bring it up TYT? I consider myself part of the TYT army but this news story is bullshit, and does not need our attention. I expect this sort of petty nonsense from the Right, so don’t make a story for the sake of it TYT.
@ogrish84 Maybe in these clips posted on YT he isn’t, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
Rick Perry , Herman Cain , top crackhead awards !
Rick Perry is gonna start calling everyone “brother” until this whole deal goes away.
@DeadMech1 Fox News built up Mr. Cain, because he was new, because he’s black. O’Reilly said Mr. Cain couldn’t win, that the GOP has promised Romney the nomination already. Fox ignored Dr. Paul completely. Now, I see Fox TEARING DOWN Mr. Cain! Build him up, just to tear him down? That’s dirty of Fox. When O’Reilly comes on tv, I switch the channel to Fox Business News “Freedom Watch.” to learn about the news of the day and the CONSTITUTION.
No he didn’t and sadly this is just a colloquiallism adopted by some in the caucasian community as a guilty cover-up…They think AA’s like to be called brother so they use it as a sign of friendship…lol sadly it’s put on display when they only use it when addressing only AA’s…
Total non-issue. That Rick Perry is a retard is beyond question, and that being a fact you cant hold the things a retard says to account.
Rick Perry : Herman, I love you brother, come spend a week hunting with me at the Niggerhead Ranch, Dick Cheney will be there, we’ll all have a “rootin tootin shootin time!”
teenagers say that all the time, except we say bro instead of brother lol.
I do find something wrong with it, it is a pandering much like when Edwards would change the way he spoke depending on where he was.
@DeadMech1
U ARR BROTHER ?
U MAD BRO?
LOL@liberals playing the race card again.
This is weak sauce. I have a million other reason to dislike Rick Perry. I don’t think people should have to stoop this low, trying to reach for something that clearly is nothing.
@ogrish84 Not that we can see, at least. You can’t assume that what they post is all that they’ve been doing at OWS, they’re probably hanging out with them when the camera isn’t on. But hey, I support going around and getting interviews, personal stories of how the protesters came to be there and their experiences at the protest too.
I just don’t think TYT would have gone all that way and made all that fuss NOT to interact with them, know what I mean?
