  • Oh, that racism thing again…er, yet

    It’s hard to turn in any direction these days without doing something racist. Take Joe Wilson – he sparked a debate about whether Democrats want to give tax-payer funded health care to illegal immigrants. I mean, it’s an important question, isn’t it? Well, according to Hank Johnson, the Georgia Democrat, if someone doesn’t punish Joe Wilson and quick, it’ll bring back the post-Civil War Era. The Washington Post reports on Johnson like this;

    Rep. Hank Johnson, a black Democrat from Georgia, invoked the Ku Klux Klan in talking about Wilson’s behavior.

    Yeah, I guess they were a little ashamed to put his whole quote in print. Luckily, the AP didn’t have that problem;

    On the Democratic side, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., accused Wilson of instigating racist sentiment against the president and sending the signal that “you don’t have to bury it now. You can bring it out.”

    “I guess we’ll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people,” Johnson, who is black, told reporters. “That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked. Congressman Wilson represents it. He’s the face of it.”

    Yeah, like when Black “leaders” threatened that George W. Bush was going to bring back slavery. That was just political rhetoric, I suppose.

    Jimmy Carter joined in the hyperbole, too. Jimmy Carter, who supported “racially pure neighborhoods” in 1976. The video from Hot Air;

    Watch Jimmy Carter tap dance away from his “ethnically pure neighborhoods” remark in 1976. It looks like he’s still tap dancing away from it.

  • Gitmo Alum news

    Fox News reports this morning that Hungary has volunteered to accept one graduate from the Guantanamo Intensive Learning Center;

    Bajnai said Hungary would choose from a short list of Guantanamo prisoners in the coming days and that he would participate in an 18-month integration program.

    “According to our current expectations … the chosen candidate will be a Palestinian man who will be able to start a new life in Hungary,” Bajnai told reporters.

    “I ask my fellow citizens to consider the difficult circumstances in which the detainee spent his latest years and help his future integration.”

    This news comes on the heels of yet another Gitmo alumni who was arrested on the Pakistan border with his shiny new Swedish citizenship. (Washington Times link)

    Dera Ghazi Khan police Chief Mohammad Rizwan told the Associated Press that authorities made the identification after interrogating the man, Mehdi-Muhammed Ghezali. A copy of his Swedish passport obtained by the AP showed that his face matched that of previously published photos of the man held at Guantanamo.

    “I do confirm that he is the same person. He is a very dangerous man,” Chief Rizwan said.

    Ghezali was arrested on the outskirts of Dera Ghazi Khan, a southern Pakistani town, on Aug. 28 along with a group of foreigners including seven Turks and three other Swedes who lacked proper immigration stamps.

    So, apparently, our “catch-and-release program” isn’t working. In the meantime, a DC District court is determining the merits of the government’s case against a detainee – they voted to close arguments to the public yesterday.

  • Mullen calls for more troops

    Stars and Stripes reports this morning that Admiral Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress yesterday that he may need more toops and more resources to win in Afghanistan;

    Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the war is growing more complicated and the enemy gaining in sophistication. Winning will require more resources from outside Afghanistan, including more troops, Mullen told Congress.

    “A properly resourced counterinsurgency probably means more forces, and without question, more time” and dedication, Mullen said.

    Last week, as reported by McQ at Blackfive, Nancy Pelost doesn’t see the “support” for increasing forces and resources in Afghanistan. Uncle Jimbo reminds us that this is just an echo from our past.

    Also echoing from our recent past is Pete Hegseth and the Vets For Freedom who are passing around a petition asking Congress to give our troops the funding they need and give our military leaders the resources they need to fight this war. You can sign the petition at this link.

  • ACORN San Bernadino tape

    I can’t even write about this one – you have to watch it to believe it;

    Fox News says that Richard Shelby is pressuring the Senate to have a complete investigation of ACORN.

    This is insanity. Part two of this segment is due out soon at Big Government.

  • LaRouche poster making the rounds

    When I wrote my initial post about the 9-12 march the other day, I snapped a picture of this doofus from the LaRouche crowd walking around with this poster and predicted that these whackos who support the perennial Democrat presidential candidate would be the “proof” that the left needed that we’re nutjobs;

    DC Tea Party1 038

    Well, as I was cruising the Leftist blogs, I went to one which had been considered conservative until after the election when it’s pony-tailed, bicycle-riding owner switched parties. He had a video up under the title “Bad Craziness in DC”. He opens the monologue with;

    Open talk of revolution, Hitler, Hitler Hitler….

    Here’s a screen shot from the video he uses as proof of “Hitler, Hitler Hitler”;

    Notice at the bottom of the sign;

    Gotta keep my eyes on these guys every minute.

  • ACORN gets no Federal money?

    1stCavRVN11B sent me this link to a leftist blog written by Wade Rathke, founder and chief organizer of ACORN until last year. The most amazing quote from the blog post, and perhaps the most prescient, is this one;

    Of course it is a well settled question that has been elaborately documented that ACORN gets no federal money, but hey from the crowd talking about death panels all the time, we can’t expect accuracy, can we?

    Oh, yeah? Then why did the Senate decide yesterday to cut off Federal money from ACORN? (Fox News link);

    The Senate voted Monday to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN, a community organization under fire in several voter-registration fraud cases.

    The 83-7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

    Why would the Senate move to block ACORN from getting Federal grants, if ACORN doesn’t get “federal money”?

    Apparently, the answer to “the settled question” isn’t quite so settled.

    Thanks to 1stCavRVN11B and Sporkmaster.

  • The War Against Terror

    Fox News reports that a task force of law enforcement officers took down a suspected cell of terrorists in New York City this weekend;

    Law enforcement agents raided residences in New York City before dawn Monday as part of a terrorism investigation.

    One senator briefed Monday by federal law enforcement authorities on the raids said a terrorist attack was not believed to be imminent.

    Fox News also reports that a SEAL force conducted a raid in Somalia to take down a terror leader;

    Navy Seals from US Special Operations Forces conducted a raid in southern Somalia on Monday that killed Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, one of 4 co-conspirators wanted in the 2002 bombing of an Israel owned hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, two senior U.S. military officials told Fox News.

    Ten days ago President Obama signed the Execute Order for Nabhan….

    That’s a war against terror I can support and anyone who wants to take real action against terrorists has my complete support.

    Of course, if Bush were still president, and I was an opposition blogger, I’d try to make the argument that he’s only trying to take the focus off of his domestic agenda failures – I’m not making these allegations against President Obama. I hope this president continues to make these kinds of decisions regardless of the political circumstances.

  • …and the ACORN hits keep coming

    James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, the “pimp” and “hooker” show from BigGovernment.com also went on the road to New York City and scored with the ACORN crowd there, too. From the New York Post;

    As in prior videos released by the filmmaking team of James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, employees of the group — which specializes in housing and voter activism — were eager to dispense advice on gaming the system and skirting the law.

    “You know, what goes on in the house we don’t care,” one counselor said. “We just help you with the mortgage.”

    Here’s the videos;

    Yeah, ACORN said the first one was an isolated incident. So isolated that James and Hannah will probably tire out before they run out of offices to investigate.
