  • And That’s Just Since He’s Been Married…

    Andrew Young, a civil rights “icon” I hadn’t heard of until five minutes ago, in a Newsmaker’s Journal interview said of Bill Clinton “He’s probably gone with more black women than Barack,” *rimshot*. Young also asserted that Bill is every bit as black as Obama.
    Really? He’s half black? Oh, gee, was that a cheap shot? No, not at all. Obama’s father was a black man from Kenya, his mother was a white girl from Wichita. The various democrat campaigns are waiting for this info to break much closer to a primary. Interracial marriage is no more (or less, I suppose…)insane than uniracial marriage. It just isn’t something that is popular with either white people or black people. Hillary Clinton, you can be sure, is waiting with bated breath for this to sink in with the racist voters of both races, black and white, as it can only help her.
    Bill Clinton could be as black as Al Jolson, and it wouldn’t have any legitimate bearing on Hillary’s competency, honesty or experience.

    Young also commented that Obama needs a network to back him up and protect him. Like the criminal cartel that hovers around in the wings around the Clintons waiting to be used as scapegoats. Those aren’t friends and colleagues, those are lackeys.

    Just think how popular with blacks Clinton would be if Monica Lewinsky had been named Shanequa Jones?

    It isn’t that the calling Clinton Black thing is stupid, it is, but, it is also a kind of racism. Is Obama’s, as Biden noted, clean, articulate nature unimportant next to the charisma of Bill Clinton?

  • A Cartoon Even Jonn will Like

     

    Ha!

     

    Jonn added: Yes, I do like it. And here’s some New York Times BDS from Newsbusters to go with it (h/t Ace of Spades)

  • Still Stupid After All These Years

    Somethings never change.
    Cynthia McKinney wants to be on the ballot in all 51 states.
    Here’s a screenshot for ya:
    Fifty-one?
    If you needed another reason to not vote for her, she doesn’t know how many states there are…

  • CNN: Corrupt News Network

    Tim Rutten’s LA Times column doesn’t pull many punches.

    A self-serving agenda was set for the Republican presidential debates.
    December 1, 2007

    THE United States is at war in the Middle East and Central Asia, the economy is writhing like a snake with a broken back, oil prices are relentlessly climbing toward $100 a barrel and an increasing number of Americans just can’t afford to be sick with anything that won’t be treated with aspirin and bed rest.

    So, when CNN brought the Republican presidential candidates together this week for what is loosely termed a “debate,” what did the country get but a discussion of immigration, Biblical inerrancy and the propriety of flying the Confederate flag?

    In fact, this most recent debacle masquerading as a presidential debate raises serious questions about whether CNN is ethically or professionally suitable to play the political role the Democratic and Republican parties recently have conceded it.

    I’m stunned. This level of bashing of a fellow liberal institution is amazing. My guess is Rutten was instructed to report on this latest of the unending series of debates and was not happy with his assignment, so when presented with an opportunity to go a little off the reservation in slapping around CNN he leapt in with both feet. Which, of course, isn’t to say that his allegations of corruption aren’t true. Anyone with eyes and a willingness to see can observe CNN’s rampant anti-conservative and anti-republican biases.

    Jonn added: I was just reading that at Invincible Armor, apparently while Don Carl was writing it – I just didn’t want mRed to think I was hijacking his stories without credit in case he saw me there.

    But, my thoughts; Corrupt? Nope. Unethical? Yep. But we’ve all known since the Clinton Impeachment upon which side CNN came down in politics. The Republicans are trying to be magnamous and have a big inclusive tent. CNN and the Democrats want to exploit our good nature.

    If any Republican candidate accepts an invitation to do anything at CNN again, they get what they deserve for trying to be friendly with a rabid Clinton beast like CNN.

  • Romney Won’t be President

    In one of the all time stupid moves, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has decided to give a speech about his Mormon faith.
    While Jack Kennedy gave a speech about his Catholicism and it helped him, Mormonism is not Catholicism.

    The edge many Republican candidates have held over their Democrat opponents is the support of the Evangelical Christians of the nation. Highlighting the differences between LDS beliefs and those of Evangelical Christians can only hurt any Mormon candidate.

    While Mormon teaching is, in many areas inline with mainstream Christianity, however, it is not the same. The Romney campaign’s best option was to gloss over these differences until after Mitt was either THE Nominee or, preferably, the President. They blew that. His campaign will not survive the loss of the Evangelical Christians.

  • Disenfranchisement is Wrong, Isn’t it? Unless Democrats Do it.

    Michigan Democrats have been disenfranchised by their party. Their votes will not count during the run up to the Presidential election. The Democratic party ripped their votes away, because Michigan decided to hold it’s primary in January, because party rules, prohibit states other than New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina from having their primaries prior to February.

    When Florida scheduled its primary early, the Democrats, punished them too.
    What the Hell?

    I thought Democrats were against disenfranchisement unless the denied voters were members of the military…

    Aren’t the votes of Floridians and whatever you call people from Michigan valuable? I’m sure the DNC will want those votes in November. Hell, were I a democrat in Florida or Michigan and my vote was taken, I’d be livid. I wouldn’t stand for this. This might even encourage people to throw their votes to the Republicans out of spite.

    Spiteful votes work too, I’m sure whoever the Republican candidate turns out to be will welcome them.

  • The Majority of Muslims are Peaceful? Tell that to Gillian Gibbons

    Peace loving scholars demand death.

    The Vast Majority of Muslims are peaceful? Really? You may want to ask Gillian Gibbons how she feels about that, well, you can ask after she gets out of the Sudanese PRISON she has been sentenced to because her students (mainly rich Sudanese Muslim kids) chose to name a teddy bear Muhammad. I don’t think she’ll have that view of the Religion of Peaceâ„¢ after her deportation.

  • I am a One Issue Voter, and so are you

    We hear about one issue voters, people whose passion for one specific issue overrides all other considerations. I have, until this morning, believed those people to be abjectly stupid.

    I was driving along, minding my own business when it hit me, like a bat. I am a one issue voter…EVERYONE is a one issue voter.

    It isn’t guns or drugs. Not gays or terrorists, nor abortion or taxes. Except it is all those things and all other things also.

    What is this illusive singular issue? Right and Wrong. My votes go to those candidates whose actions, and record show their agreement with my ideals of right and wrong. The more I think about it, the more I realize that this is almost always the case for conservatives.
