Randy Haddock Responds to Keith Olbermann
Perhaps a better response to the Keith Olbermann Smear of the National Tea Party Movement. This one is by Randy Haddock:
First, his choice of words. People of color? Who are these colored people heās referring to? What does that mean? It may be because Iām not a native English speaker, but I find this āpeople of colorā business to be really bizarre. So as a Boricua, am I colored? I guess Iām olive but if I hit the beach on a sunny day I can be golden brown. Is he referring strictly to skin color? Culture? Ethnicity? I mean, Iām not that much darker than Mr. Olbermann himself. Do I fall into his āpeople of colorā category?
Or, as I suspect, are āpeople of colorā just code for those who deviate too much from the skin color which Olbermann seems to deem as the standard? I mean, come on, Olbermann has no color, right? Heās white. That aināt no color. Thatās just how itās supposed to be, right? So, all I can think of is that he means āblack.ā Black people are colored, and everyone else is just normal and a-OK. Man, this race and colors stuff is difficult to understand!
And secondly, the question is stupid, the premise terribly moronic and the insinuation totally insulting. The Tea Party protesters arenāt racist. Are there a few kooks with nefarious motivations? Sure, every movement has them. Itās nice how, during the Bush years, the MSM did everything they could to whitewash the fringe elements of the antiwar movement, but I digress. Whatās Olbermannās evidence that Tea Parties are overwhelmingly racist? Apparently, that there are no āpeople of colorā at these rallies. That is so blatantly false as to induce uncontrollable laughter. There are people of all backgrounds at the Tea Parties. But even if an event is dominated by a certain race group, what does that prove? Similar to what Glenn Reynolds said earlier this month, if you look at a group of white folks and the first thought that pops into your head is āracists!ā then you have some serious issues.
So I put together this video response to Olbermannās burning question. Here are his āpeople of colorā heās been inquiring about.
Very well put.

and finally
A song that I happen to like quite a bit. It has been said that music often tells a story. Paints a picture, if you will. That being said, here is a story or picture, from a very unique perspective.
This is Resurrection Band
Lincoln’s Train
By
Resurrection Band
Passin’ through these ruins
Mr Lincoln’s train goin’ by
Spilling smoke into these bloody fields
All the people stood and cried
Our tears are the same color
We can all hold hands and mourn
But me, I’m still asking myself
Why I’m not any freer than I was before
Mr Lincoln are you free now?
Was it worth what it finally cost?
If I had somethin to believe in
I could bear this endless cross
I got no home, they sold my family
I got no job, ain’t got no vote
Them books they’re all mysteries to me
Can’t read or write, I got no hope
The train it just keeps rollin’
Cold as steel and dark as night
It don’t give me no answers, no
No, it don’t pay me no mind
And the scenery just keeps changin’
But these folks, they just stay the same
Same old fearful eyes a starin’
Askin’ me to take the blame
For their shame, for their shame

Late Nite at the PB Pub Presents: Duke Ellington
Duke Ellington and his orchestra playing this awesome tune in 1943.
“It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” is a 1931 composition by Duke Ellington with lyrics by Irving Mills, now accepted as a jazz standard. The music was written and arranged by Ellington in August 1931 during intermissions at Chicago’s Lincoln Tavern and was first recorded by Ellington and his orchestra for Brunswick Records (Br 6265) on February 2, 1932. Ivie Anderson sang the vocal and trombonist Joe Nanton and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges played the instrumental solos. The title was based on the oft stated credo of Ellington’s former trumpeter Bubber Miley, who was dying of tuberculosis. The song became famous, Ellington wrote, “as the expression of a sentiment which prevailed among jazz musicians at the time.” Probably the first song to use the phrase “swing” in the title, it introduced the term into everyday language and presaged the Swing Era by three years. The Ellington band played the song continuously over the years and recorded it numerous times, most often with trumpeter Ray Nance as vocalist.

A CNN commentator cheerleading Republican victory in the midterms? Jack Cafferty calling Barack Obama a liar on national TV? Are cats and dogs raining from the sky today?
Heh! No, it’s just snow, I checked… and man are we ever getting it here! Four to Six inches expected today here. I wanna go to Florida or even Hawaii. š š„ š š š

No wonder I quite watching that idiotic network. š As an extra added bonus, a 9/11 truther at the end this video; makes for a great one.
Update: Reader Rich Writes in to say:
I think that Olbermann Watch is connecting dots that aren’t there on this one. Ā Several reasons:
1) Ā The theory is based on Wolffe’s statement about what the White House is examining. Ā Unless you hear this type of claim coming from a White House spokesman, I wouldn’t put a lot of faith in it. Ā I’m sure the White House is looking at lots of things but that doesn’t mean they have drawn any conclusions; Ā perhaps Wolffe is hearing only what he wants to hear.
2) Ā Obama calls this episode the result of a “systematic failure.” Ā That sure doesn’t sound like a statement from someone who wants to duck responsibility for it.
3) Ā Does one intelligence agency not share complete information with the other agencies? Ā Probably. Ā But the reason is likely related to competition between the agencies, not any conspiracy plot.
TV, be it Olbermann or Fox, is always looking for Ā controversy; Ā that doesn’t make it true. Ā Same goes for the “Obama wasn’t out there” (after the event) line; Ā I understand that Bush took six days to make a statement after the Richard Reid episode and that, at Bush’s next press conference, the neither the President or the press even spoke about Reid until well into the press conference. Ā It is all about stirring up conflict, which makes for a more engaging story. Ā Unfortunately, doing so only distracts from the genuine problem that we face here, which is best addressed though bipartisan action rather than political bickering. Ā Very sad, IMHO.
BTW, I just discovered your blog; Ā I like to read a wide range of political views, so I will be back!
Best regards,
Rich
Late Night at the PB Pub Presents: The Who
One of my favorite clips from the late 1960’s. I don’t care what your politics is, this is just plain cool.
A bit of tech stuff here; it is obvious from this clip and it has been verified, that Pete Townsend’s Guitar amp was malfunctioning during this performance. It kept cutting in and out. So, he just trashed the guitar and closed the show. Jimi Hendrix saw what he did and took it even further. Needless to say Jimi’s sounded better.
Bonus Video! Here’s Jimi’s “upstaging” of Pete at the end of his performance at the same show:
Looks on the faces of the people, after Jimi destroys his guitar are absolutely priceless. š
