As the link said, it seems unlikely that he'd describe Obama as "the anti-war, government nigger" but I can't think of any other words at the moment that he was going to say which start with "nig-".

"As unlikely as it seems that he was actually going to describe Barack as "the anti-war, government nigger", there also aren't that many other words beginning with "nig" that he might have been saying as an alternative. I guess he could have been calling him a niggler? Or niggardly? IDK."

So the writer agrees with you. As do I. I don't know why the media's not covering this.
