Shakir: 'What you see is what you get' Shakir called out in Mother Jones magazine; uses n-word in e-mail to local GOP BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Ray Shakir, a controversial budget committee member and vice chair of the Mount Washington Valley Republicans, was the subject of a national story recently that spread across the Internet, in which he referred to President Obama as a "jungle alien." In the wake of that story, racially-tinged e-mails written by Shakir have surfaced. Shakir stresses that he is not a bigot and his use of the term jungle alien was merely "descriptive" of a president he
passionately despises. Now, Republicans and Democrats are reacting to the fallout. A few weeks ago, Mother Jones, a national nonprofit news organization, reported Shakir called the president a "jungle alien." Mother Jones was interviewing Shakir because he was hosting a house party for former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. Shakir says his opinions are his own and not vetted by any organization. Shakir said Mother Jones quoted him accurately. see SHAKIR page 8
