And you thought Joe Wilson's "You Lie!" outburst was a low point for political discourse.
A Georgia businessman is using the N-word on a sign outside his restaurant to slam President Obama's health care plan.
The billboard outside the Peach Oyster Bar in Paulding County reads, "Obama's plan for health care - [N-word] rig it," Atlanta CBS affiliate WGCL reported.
"I've used the N-word most of my life and there is different ways to put your opinion up, but that's just the words I choose to use," owner Patrick Lanzo told WGCL. "I've put signs up for 22 years. ... I've put all kinds of political signs up."
Despite the presence of a mannequin clad in a Ku Klux Klan outfit standing amid the pool tables, Lanzo maintained he's no a racist. The bar has pictures of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. on the walls, he pointed out, and he also showed a reporter his 2005 NAACP membership card.
Lanzo said he's just opposed to Obama's health care plan, which he called "substandard."
"I stand by my President, but I also stand by my right under the First Amendment to criticize him if I feel he's wrong," Lanzo said.

But He Stands by His President...
Nothing like displaying your ignorance and stupidity for all to see. Naturally, I'm sure the left won't hesitate to tie this clown to the GOP and conservatism. Who can blame them when you have lunkheads like this "opposing" ObamaCare?
