Missed This
A la Henry Abbot at the basketball blog TrueHoop, this observation was made:
"Bob Johnson made a comment a while ago about Barack Obama and what he
did "in the neighborhood." People thought he was making a cheap
reference to Obama's admitted past drug use. Johnson said that was not
at all what he meant, he was talking about Obama's community
organizing. According to Jim Morrill in the Charlotte Observer, Johnson said:
"I make a joke about Obama doing drugs (and it's) `Oh my God, a black
man tearing down another black man.'" Wasn't that a joke about
community organizing?"
I was on an airplane when he posted this, so I just read it this morning, but where's the hammer brought down on Mr. Johnson for the BS? Maybe I missed the controversy conversation, but I think somebody should more publicly hold Mr. Johnson accountable for being a liar/obfuscator.
