Proving that stupidity and compassion don’t take days off, racists had no problem exposing themselves to the world Sunday night when President Obama‘s appearance in Newtown, Connecticut to pay tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings, interrupted the Sunday night game between the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots on NBC.

Bradley Patterson tweeted, “Take that n****r off the TV, we want to watch some football.”
