HotAir has this great story (h/t) on some tensions between race baiters (e.g., the NAACP), and Mains Governor, Paul LePage:
Slublog has all the background you need on what inspired this dastardly act of speech-hate, including a reminder of the NAACP’s own Krugman-esque regard for tea partiers. The man’s either (a) the next Chris Christie or (b) obviously a violent racist. Perhaps we should ask his adopted son from Jamaica which it is?

[In this video, Democrat Libby Mitchell] can be heard in the video saying: “As Governor you have to be respectful of the President… at all times.”
LePage shot back saying he had seen a photo of Mitchell holding a sign saying George Bush was an “International Terrorist.” In the video, Mitchell completely denies such a photo exists. The next day, a right-leaning blog As Maine goes… published the photo. Now, all of Maine’s media (and New England) is abuzz over Mitchell’s blunder. Mitchell issued a statement of apology late yesterday.
