No, it is not a rupture of free speech down here in Dumbutt, Texas where overt racist speech and writing had been defended for a generation under the auspices that Political Correctness is Liberal Nazism. No, the women arrested, Chynethia Gragg, who confronted the Sugarland couple in their pickup truck (you know it just had to be a pickup truck) outside their home got hot, called them racists and threatened them by saying she would get someone to take care of him later! Sticky Obama issue with these McKains leads to arrest. Charges were later dropped.
Update: Ms Cragg recently contacted me to say that this Chronicle story caused her to not be able to find a job here in Texas. She wants it to be known that she is now a registered Republican who donates and voted for Donald Trump in the Texas primary. So to any of her perspective employers she is now good to go here in Texas, no longer one of those, you know, trouble makers.
Sugarland is a white collar white community a bit Southwest of Houston. It is most famous as where Tom DeLay lived before he got run out of town. Not for being the craziest Right-wing lunatic in America, but for being a nastyass crooked dickhead.
Here in Texas having a rebel flag tattoo on the back of your truck – or on the back of your bald head for that matter – is not racism. Even screeching the N word at our local Black agitator Quannell X is not considered racist. It is just an honest Christian difference in opinion.
Though Doug and Wendy McKain, bearers of the non racist pee on Obama bumper sticker were not wearing the popular non racist obama T shirt above, one does have to understand that the non racist Sugarland couple felt – rather than just let this go – it necessary to call the police so they and their proudly displayed non racist bumper sticker would get national attention and the undying support and love of just about everyone else in Sugarland… And Friendswood, and Santa Fe, and Pasadena.
One thing we do have to credit the McKains for is that this woman, which I assume is black, did come on their property, and they did not shoot her in the back with double ought buck from 10 feet away as Pasadena Joe Horn did, unamred black men in the back, 10 feet away, and got away with it. In fact as we speak there is talk of having a parade for Joe Horn the hero of Pasadena, Texas.
