If you read / listen to the story, they go to Galliano, where there is some tree that old folks gather around. Apparently they fancy themselves kingmakers of politicians, though it's hard to believe that the bosses of Galliano have that much sway.
I don't think the reporter actually expected the guy to come out and say something racist. She was asking him about what he thought of the ACA; he was saying that Landrieu's support for the ACA has made him decisively against her. The reporter asked him if he voted for Obama in 2008 and that was his response.

Will go back and listen to it later but I have no problem taking Bayou Sam at his word.
One thing this does bring to mind is how much more effectively Dems seem to be at using viewpoints expressed by voters like "Beau" than R's seem to be in utilizing viewpoints expressed by people actually connected to pols such as Jeremiah Wright, Ayers, and so forth. Of course, I didn't much care for Wright or Michelle Obama's comments on being proud of America, yet I voted for Obama in 2008 (something I view as a dreadful mistake). Maybe the R's generally don't have the stomach for a good smear?
