Russia MP in racism row over 'Obama banana' image


You shall have no other gods before Obama. Obama is not mocked. Bananas are racist, along with everything else.

After the post sparked a storm of disgust on Saturday, Rodnina deleted the message, but insisted she believed she had done nothing wrong.

"Freedom of speech is freedom of speech! Deal with your hangups yourself," she wrote defiantly on Twitter, saying the post had boosted her rating.

A member of the lower house's ethics committee, Yan Zelinsky concurred in comments to Russian News Service radio.

"She sees the President of the United States as liking bananas. What's the big deal?"

"Freedom of speech is freedom of speech! Deal with your hangups yourself,"  I like this lady.
