Who paid this “Coon” to bring a rifle to protest President Obama’s health care plan? This clown says he is exercising his rights as an American. We bet if this “Coon” was not at this rally protesting the President, he would not walk around town with his rifle showing….because his “Coon Ass” would sitting in a jail cell.

This video is “Priceless.” It is about time these ignorant, racist, hate mongering people get put in their place. The type of  “foolishness” that goes on at these health care town meetings is ridiculous.

TMZ reports:

“It was hardly a fair fight — Shaq is 7′1″, 325 lbs, Oscar De La Hoya is 5′10″, 154lbs — but the two strapped on the gloves and threw down in Vegas last night … and the footage is AWESOME.”

“During the fight at the Planet Hollywood Hotel, the diminutive boxing champion is clearly holding his own against the behemoth of basketball — even landing a few shots on the big man’s grill”.

Wondering what city this video was shot? It was shot in New York City.
