Liddy: Obama concentration camp will serve “ham hocks and turnip greens”
On the November 4 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, G. Gordon Liddy spoke to a caller who stated: “I’m ready to go to the concentration camp, that [Sen. Barack] Obama’s police force — he will round me up. Because I — I’m a white American.” Liddy then said, “Well, listen to this,” and aired an edited clip of Obama saying in a July 2 speech in Colorado Springs: “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Liddy then stated: “Shades of the Gestapo. The Geheime Staatspolizei,” to which the caller replied: “How’s the cooking going to be? What will — what will they serve, at the camp?” Liddy responded: “Well, I think, probably, there’ll be ham hocks and turnip greens.”

Amazing how some people have a mouth that is a lot larger than their brain!
Even so, knowing MacFarlane, he’s quite excellent at adapting to comedy and learning from mistakes. I’m confident he’ll evolve this indicate and really feel his way by the black “phenomenon” he wants to desperately comprehend so as to use it for comedy. As they say, it can only go up from here.
