Buttars gets poetry slammed
About 30 people gathered in the Capitol to protest racism and recent gaffes by Sen. Chris Buttars that have offended many in the community including Gov. Jon Huntsman.
The rally was placid and the mostly young crowd wrote and read poetry to make their point.
One counter protester stood outside the group, sheilding his face from photographers.
University of Utah student Flora Bernard, right, read her poem "God Shed His Tears" as a protest to racism.
Buttars has been trying to ride out a storm of protest after he used racially charged statements to argue a bill, then later complained of being the victim of a "lynch mob."
The Provo Daily Herald today defended Buttars' use of language as not particularly intelligent, but not racist either:
"The bottom line is that a couple of stupid remarks are being used as a tool against a lawmaker who is seen as an arch-conservative. Salt Lake County Republican Party Chairman James Evans commented astutely that "people decide who's a racist and who's not based on their agenda."

HOW CLEVER. A MEDIA DIS-INFO OPERATION. Now I’m startng to get it, ……..yeah..okay.
The deviant sex practitioners conspired with their media allies (with a wink from local dems) to attack Buttars on any trumped up pretext in order derail the deviant sex marriage bill.
Good one…fake up a claim of racism…after all that is the kiss of death. That would scare anyone. The deviant sex media types and their supporters start using the big lie technique developed by the german nazis.
I t doesn’t matter that Buttars didn”t say anything improper…..because a carefully orchestrted media distortion op will keep the dumb masses in a state of congitive dissonace.
But here is the bad part: Some of the public are not quite so stupid. They might even be making a list of the cooperative media outfits for future reference. What if they find out about our “free” (free from anticompetive regulation championed by Theodore Rossevelt) media is not so free after all?
After all, the controlled media is going down the tubes financially just through lack of quality and intelligence by staff.
