So you don't have the link either. To be fair, you didn't make the claim.
No, he wasn't called a "nigger" all that much that I can recall. People just opted for "Kenyan" instead.
Yeah, I have indeed heard... and read on this forum... that rather obvious piece of race-baiting garbage. My assessment of the character of anyone who does that drops immediately.
With the "uh" ending and pronunciation?
Or with the traditional and apparently 1000X more offensive "er" ending and pronunciation?
"Obama wants Americans to get Ebola"
LOL
Don't you mean Obola!!!!!
That was ridiculous but to be fair that's so yesterdays news to the wingnuts. Like magic, Ebola is no longer a crisis and they've turned their attention elsewhere.

I would think the people in Sierra Leone would disagree that Ebola is no longer a crisis.... it may not be a current headline in the US but that can change any time. That Obama wants anyone to get Ebola is ludicrous... a more fair criticism may be that he has not done enough or made it a high enough priority to prevent Ebola in the US or to address the disease in Africa.
Why can't you just take it at face value?

"I hope he fails"I didn't make the claim either, but I saw a video clip of it a while back. A quick google shows lots of hits:
Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails - The Rush Limbaugh Show
After Five and a Half Years, "I Hope He Fails" Remains the Most Memorable Expression of Opposition to Obama - The Rush Limbaugh Show
Rush Limbaugh's Shocking Words for President Obama | Fox News
I didn't read any of these because as I've said, I saw the original video. If you want other sources, just google "Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail"
The larger question, at least for me, is whether we are now prepared for whatever pandemic may come our way.

Not only have I heard, I agree with others who use it and have used it describing him myself. (somewhere on my list of infractions is the post I did so on this forum)
But then again, there are differences in the usage of the word. I for one never use it as a description of race, but rather a description of personality and actions. After all, niggardly (being stingy or selfish) has nothing to do with race, so why should the N-word, which is from the same base be used for race. It's a perfectly good word, when used correctly.
seated--deep-seated. Just FYI.

I don't know where you are getting your information, but "niggardly" and the n-bomb do not come from the same linguistic roots.
I do especially enjoy your "when I use it, it's not about race" disclaimer. That's what they all say.
