You really want to know what it's like to be a liberal and live in a very red area of a red state?

Probably not, but I'm going to show you anyway. I drove past this same sign worded differently but with the same offensive term on it a few months back, it is kind of off the beaten path in my county so I hadn't seen it before.

Restaurant Sign Attacking Obama Sparks Race Debate
Restaurant Owner Opposes Obama Healthcare Plan

Written By: Michelle Marsh - CBS Atlanta Reporter

TEMPLE, Ga. -- When you walk into the Georgia Peach Oyster Bar in Paulding County, you feel like you've walked into a different era.

Behind the pool tables stands a mannequin in a Klu Klux Klan costume, but it's what's outside of the Patrick Lanzo's restaurant that has some people angry.

Lanzo put up a sign that reads "Obama's plan for health-care: N*&%*r rig it."

CBS Atlanta's Michelle Marsh asked Lanzo why he put up the sign.
