The Chris Reichert situation got me thinking.? When I wrote this in March, 2008, I expected I’d be linking to it repeatedly over time, because not one thing has changed since the email smear campaign against Barack Obama, created and prosecuted by Republicans, for Republicans’ benefit, laying the foundation for today’s tinder box.
The unrelenting hatred that is now being spewed on conservative talk radio and on the internet is not now being aimed at Hispanics, it is being aimed at the most deep seeded racial divide in our country’s history, and is inevitably going to give the lowest [...]
Full Story... →Maybe Alo Konsen is right. I’m quite certain there were no racist or homophobic remarks hurled at Waxman, Frank, or Lewis. I’m having a hard time finding a single piece of evidence of racial undercurrents at any teabagger rally anywhere.
There is just no precedent for such behavior at teabagging rallies!
Oh, did I mention the “faggot” remark was actually caught on tape? I’m sure Alo will argue that they bleeped out the word “friend”.
LOL. How’s life in Delusionville Alo? I’ll see your [...]
Full Story... →This is the editorial cartoon accompanying this week’s article in Cleveland’s Call & Post attacking State Senator Nina Turner for her support of county reform Issue 6 instead of the “Old Guard” African-American leadership/union back Issue 5.? Amazingly, the article states:
Lastly, Nina Turner should stop telling the lie that Black leaders have threatened her. When asked by this newspaper who issued such threats, she refused to answer.
Senator Turner didn’t need to answer.? Your column is graphed with a depiction of an accomplished, intelligent, political leader as an ignorant, ebonic speakin’, house slave.? It’s pretty obvious [...]
Full Story... →Well, well, well. After Modern notices how Kyle Sisk decides to smear an innocent man by using the man’s picture purely because the innocent man is black, Sisk removes the picture, and edits the line that puts him on the hook for defamation.
Granting clemency to murderers never sits well with the electorate.
Is now…
Granting clemency to alleged murderers, unsubstantiated murderers or whatever never sits well with the electorate.
“Or whatever”?? So clever.
Quit trying to create controversy where it does not exist.? Nice try though. NOTE: I may be an ass, but I’m not a racist thank [...]
Full Story... →Just in time to prove Tim right, we have Rose at Tom Blumer’s Bizzyblog:
The hood goes to the fort? Are you fucking kidding me? Is this serious?
Pho, I think the racism may be driving them to the crazy my friend.
Full Story... →One of the great thing about being more engaged in the blogosphere again is finding good stuff others are doing. Back in the day that was probably the most fun for me. OK, a close second to banging on wingnuts. Hehe.
Pho is great when he’s on and his latest is really good stuff:
Some weeks ago I argued that the vituperative criticism of Obama from the right was not, as some suggested, driven by racism but was the result of the right wing being nuts. Not nuts in the sense that they disagree with me, but nuts [...]
Full Story... →Seriously…
The Hill reports that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele was on a radio show and asked about the GOP could reach out to African-American voters.? And here’s what transpired:
MARTIN: But your candidates got to talk to them. One of the criticisms I’ve always had is Republicans — white Republicans — have been scared of black folks.
STEELE: You’re absolutely right. I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, “I’m on your side” and so I can imagine going out there and talking to someone like you, you [...]
PFAW’s Right Wing Watch does just that, which is why they caught American Family Association’s latest descent into lunacy in response to the Fort Hood tragedy. Bryan Fischer, AFA Director of Issues Analysis, begins his screed:
It became evidently almost immediately that the mass murderer in yesterday’s killing spree at Fort Hood was a Muslim who was motivated by jihadist impulses.
It became evidently almost immediately? He’s obviously not the direct of communications or Engrish at the AFA. Sorry. Distracted by the ignorance that we all sort of knew was already there. Let’s continue:
It it is time, I [...]
Full Story... →Georgia has issue, man. Serious issues. This story is just an example:
Patrick Lanzo likes to generate negative attention, by openly displaying his ugly racism and hate in the most vile and public ways possible. The owner of a roadside bar in a small Georgia town, Lanzo recently erected a giant sign in front of his Ku Klux Klan themed speakeasy, with the message: ?Obama?s plan for health-care: Ni**er rig it.?
I don’t take to using the little ** to soften the hate. Pat’s sign says Nigger rig it. It even got him on CNN, where he lies about being [...]
Full Story... →Wow. The hits just keep on coming for the embattled homophobic Democratic candidate for Secretary of State Jennifer Garrison. Anthony has another shocking blow to camp Garrison. Not only does she appear unwilling to stand up for the civil rights of the gay community, but she also may be a closet racist?
Again, according to a very credible source, Garrsion took a step and a half back, looked Chandra up and down, and said “no one where I come from would ever vote for someone who looks like you.” Garrison then turned and walked away, leaving Chandra stunned.
