The Psychotic ramblings of Andrew Sullivan about Sarah Palin

Posted on4 Comments

The man is just plain crazy. Now why do I say this? This is why:

Because the people that were on that thing called the Journalist, decided that they would show some morals and NOT touch the Palin Trig false rumor:

Ezra Klein:

Seriously, folks? Best case scenario, what’s your outcome here: Her daughter, hounded by the tabloids, breaks down that it was her child, and her mother heroically took on the burden and welcomed the disabled boy as one of her own? Palin’s relationship with her children — however they may have come to her — strikes me as pretty far out of bounds. By all accounts she’s a wonderful mother, and devoted to her fifth son. Leave this be.

Katha Pollitt:

I like what you said about this possibly being a dirty trick, intended to blow up in our faces. so let’s just leave it alone…

Unlike Andrew Sullivan; these liberals actually had some morals, once again our favorite Faux Conservative  descends into madness:

Remember all those liberals and lefties huffily denouncing this blog’s attempts to make sense of Sarah Palin’s bizarre stories about the pregnancy and birth of her alleged fifth child? I was nuts, crazy, vile, disgusting, etc etc to indulge in what Dave Weigel, with no working knowledge of the story, calls “nonsense.” You may also recall that the liberal media didn’t touch this with a barge-pole  – and still hasn’t (apart from a NYT puff-piece that I found utterly credulous at the time). Newsweek has even put its entire reputation behind the details of the story as outlined in Going Rogue, without doing any independent reporting on the subject.

Well, we now know, that, for some at least, I wasn’t crazy. I was just not disciplined enough to curtail what this blog airs in order to conform with what many Journo-listers believed were the interests of the Obama campaign. Any delusions that Journo-List was not, in part, a collusory venture to shape the media narrative in ways to benefit Obama, above and beyond ferreting out the truth about any and all candidates, must now be abandoned. Ezra Klein has already been caught in a bald-faced lie about his discretion in picking members; and the notion that this was simply a water-cooler collection of journalistic thoughts is also belied by the emails now published by the Daily Caller.

One should say this, however: I have no way of knowing what the DC has omitted, and how it has shaped this information. The thread stops rather abruptly. Maybe there is context that adds to what we know. I do not trust in any way the ethics of the Daily Caller. Nonetheless, I was obviously not alone in those August days, when I was pilloried for saying out loud what the entire chattering class was saying in private.

[..]

If you want to know why the allegedly liberal media didn’t touch – and still won’t touch – this story, look no further. It has nothing to do with the facts, and everything to do with their politics. Notice the core modus operandi of the political operative, not the journalist. When dealing with a story: first ask yourself not if it is true but whether the outcome benefits your side. Second, write things in defense of this that you cannot possibly know. Palin a “wonderful mother”? How on earth did Klein know that?

[…]

This is your liberal media, ladies and gentlemen: totally partisan, interested in the truth only if it advances their agenda, and devoid of any balls whatsoever. And people wonder how this farce of a candidate now controls one major political party and could well be our next president. One reason is that we do not have a functioning adversarial media uncorrupted by partisan loyalty and tactics.

The man is totally insane. That is correct; I happen to believe that Andrew Sullivan is mentally unstable, should be considered a security risk and deported from the United States of American immediately back to Great Britain; where he can get the care he needs from the British nationalized heath-care system —– If that is even possible.

The reason why the Liberal media did not run with this story, is because there was not an ounce of truth to it. Because the is such a thing as journalistic standards. You simply do not report something that you cannot prove. You would think that Sullivan and his years of college education would have taught him that. However, I believe that this is a sign of something more deep. I believe it is sign that the man has an inbred hatred of Conservative Christians and more specifically women in general. I really wonder if the man was sexually abused as a child by a female family member of his or something. (His Mom?) Because this man’s unrelenting stalking and obsessing of Sarah Palin has been quite a disturbing things to watch, especially this long after the election.

Of course, we all know that Andrew Sullivan was already busted on drug charges for trying to buy pot, and should have been deported then. But because the man has connections, he was able to beat the deportation charge and is still in the Country. That, in itself, is a story there. However,  because Sullivan is well-connected within the liberal media, they would not touch the story. I believe this would be a good time for the liberal media to do its job, when it comes to Andrew Sullivan. However, Because I know that Andrew Sullivan is among the liberal elite, he will, as always, avoid the scrutiny that was placed upon Sarah Palin and the John McCain campaign.

Such a twisted world we live in.

Jeffery Lord should not be allowed to write for anyone ever again

Posted on

For writing absolutely asinine crap like this here. I agree with Charles Johnson, this story is just outright racist, wrong, and should be pulled.

Hell even Reason doesn’t like it, and when Reason says, “Whoa, wait a minute!”, then something is horribly wrong.

Not to mention AmSpec’s own people:

John Tobin writes in The American Spectator:

What on Earth is Jeffrey Lord talking about on the mainpage? He says that the sentence “Claude Screws lynched a black man” is untrue. Lynching is defined as an extrajudicial killing by a mob (which can be as few as two people). The fatal beating of Bobby Hall most certainly qualifies.

Philip Klein writes in The American Spectator:

I am rendered speechless by a 4,000-word article that is based around the suggestion that somebody is a liar for saying that a black man was lynched, when he was merely beaten to death by a white sheriff who evidence suggests had previously threatened to “get him.”

Here is hoping that AmSpec does the right thing and yanks this, now….

Now this here is the nonsense that I will not side with at all

Posted on2 Comments

As you all know, I did have a bit of fit over what I thought was the internet lynching of a black woman by a far-right wing propagandist.  I did also walk my statement back, as I did not want people believing that I had become a liberal. I haven’t. I just will not side with racism and stupidity; and I will never, ever, condone hate at all.

I was over reading a blog, that has become the scourge of the far-right; mainly because he saw things for what they were on the right. Please, keep in mind. I do not agree with with everything that this guy writes. But there are just times when the man makes sense and when he does, I tend to agree with him. (Is that even allowed?!?! :shock:)

Anyhow, here is is three examples of some of the stupidity and utter crap on the far right, that you will not catch this blogger writing about or even supporting:

First up, posting half truths:

Seems that Blogger Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs caught one of the all-stars of the far right fudging the truth a bit, I will let Charles pick it up from here:

What I was wondering as I read this clumsy opening: why First Things hired such a witless hack as a “writer,” and what kind of ludicrous, easily debunked “link” he was going to dredge up from his feverish imagination. So I read on, got to the end, and … where the hell was the “link?”

Hoft never gets around to covering that little detail. Instead, he links to a couple of far right blogs (ranting about “reparations,” of course) that mention in passing that in the 1960s, Sherrod’s husband was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. So I read on through the muck, looking for the link to Ayers.

I should have known better than to think there would be an actual “link” in there somewhere.

It turns out that in Hoft’s bizarre world of blind hatred, Sherrod’s husband’s membership in the SNCC is the link, because Bill Ayers was also in the SNCC. Yes, that’s it. That’s the link. I hope you were sitting down for that bombshell revelation.

Earlier the same day, Hoft was claiming that NAACP CEO Ben Jealous was at the meeting where Shirley Sherrod gave her now-famous speech. It’s completely untrue, but Hoft never posted a correction, of course.

Which is, of course, the entire guilt by association thing. Which Mr. Johnson did himself with Pamela Geller; he also retracted it later. I find it very interesting that those who ballyhooed Johnson for that whole incident with Pamela Geller; do the same very thing themselves. It is, of course, a form of collectivism.  Which, I thought, liberals were known to do; not Conservatives. Hmmm.. Maybe the Paleo-Conservatives are right. That Neo-Conservatives are just Democrat lite people. As they do seem to employ the same tactics as the left.

Another example is the ever increasing rise in Anti-Muslim Bigotry in this Country. Charles Johnson notes:

Anti-Muslim bloggers Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller used to frequently cite stories about radical Islamists forwarded to them by Jeffrey Imm; you’ll find hundreds of posts at their sites that refer to Mr. Imm.

Well, their increasingly open bigotry and their outrageously paranoid, un-American group “Stop the Islamization of America” have caused Jeffrey Imm to reevaluate what Spencer and Geller stand for — and he doesn’t like what he sees.

From the Website RealCourage.org:

While the American SIOA movement seeks to be portrayed in the media as merely “conservative,” the SIOA supporters have recently called for the “criminalization of Islam,” as well as promoting the “Burn A Koran Day.” The SIOA Facebook website is replete with vulgar and obscene images and cartoons of calls for nuclear bombs on Mecca, urination on the Qur’an, and most vulgar images possible of Muhammad. SIOA supporters have called for violence and promote hatred. SIOA supporters have made vulgar and obscene comments against specific Muslims, which the SIOA supporters defend tolerating as their defense of “free expression.”

On Sunday, July 18, 2010, SIOA Executive Director Pamela Geller made yet another appeal for support for the violent extremist group “English Defence League” (EDL) which has been involved in multiple riots, and whose members were recently arrested after throwing bricks at riot police officers during their protest of a potential mosque in Dudley (that had already been canceled.) One of the SIOA supporters has darkly claimed that a group like the violent “English Defence League” is being created in America today!

The transatlantic effort of “Islamophobia united” is only bringing an organized effort to channel and fan the flames of hate and violence that Europe has been seeing against mosques and Muslims here now to America.

[…]

Islamophobia United: Stop Islamization of Europe (SIOE) – right and Stop Islamization of America – left – Unite in Protest against Park Place Mosque in NYC

A Voice of Reason from a Muslim for Freedom and Democracy

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, leader of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, is a conservative activist that seeks to challenge the extreme views of “political Islam.”   Dr. Jasser believes that a patriotic, pro-America approach to challenging religious extremism is essential.

Dr. Jasser disagreed with Imam Rauf over the style and the form of the planned Park Place mosque in Manhattan, and wrote an article on this for the New York Post.   Sadly and ironically, some of the web readers of the NY Post column used the “reader comments” part of the column to call for bombing the mosque and killing Muslims.

While I have nothing but contempt for those who would want to commit acts of terrorism in this Country. I have even more contempt for those who would use terrorism, performed in the name of Allah; as a platform to promote Hatred against Muslims and Arabs. That is what these people are doing. Essentially these two are basically committing collectivism;  as in stirring up hatred and fear of ALL Muslims and Arabs and convincing Americans that ALL Arabs and Muslims are terrorists, and that my friends, I am afraid, is just morally wrong. Not to mention, it is not even remotely a Conservative trait. But rather a liberal one; and the real sick part is, it is the same collectivist mindset of the Jim Crow racists of the South, prior to 1964.

The last and final one, is just straight up racism. This is a statement from a James Edwards, who hosts a White Nationalist Radio program called the “Political Cesspool”, he  writes the following: (H/T LGF)

Of course the Tea Party is racist, crowed a blog post on the Council of Conservative Citizens website yesterday — and it would be proud of its racism if it weren’t wussy.

The post was written by James Edwards, a radio show host and author of Racism Schmacism. His website, the Political Cesspool, declares as its motto: “Conservatism is dead. Liberalism has no answers. What comes next? The rise of ethnopolitics.”

After the NAACP passed a recent resolution condemning the Tea Party as a bunch of bigots, the ragtag band of would-be American revolutionaries launched into denials. That’s because they’re week-kneed, lily-livered racists whose instinct is to “bend over and grab their ankles”, wrote Edwards, who suggested they connect with their inner-cackling villains:

“Instead of replying with a loud BWAHAHAHA! or a ‘Yeah? What’s your point?’ or ‘So what?’ or ‘Of course we’re racists – we’re white people. That’s what “racist” means’ or ‘Can any of you race hustlers even spell “racist”?’ The Tea Party predictably went into their usual bend over and grab their ankles mode. They protested that oh no, we’re not racists at all, we don’t tolerate racists at our rallies which are really huge rainbow coalitions.”

Edwards is right. The Tea Party is hiding the truth about itself: Racist groups are quietly welcomed at its starchy street fairs, even right here in Florida.

Last January, a state chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) set up shop at a Tea Party rally in Invernness, Citrus County. Senate candidate and Tea-Party darling Marco Rubio headlined the event, while the CCC handed out pamphlets and swag.

They wrote a proud blog entry about it: “Florida CofCC works crowd at TEA party.” The Anti-Defamation League warned of the group’s attendance a day ahead of time.

Here’s Edward’s Entire posting:

Oh, man…if only they had read my book! Racism, Schmacism. All of this unpleasantness could’ve been avoided. This thing is such a mess I don’t even know where to start, and it’s pathetic and hilarious at the same time. I wanted to write about it last week, but I was just swamped, and now things have gotten even crazier with the whole NAACP/Tea Party brouhaha, so I might as well go for it.

Well, let’s just start at the beginning. Last week, the NAACP passed a resolution condemning the “racism” of the Tea Party movement, and demanding that the movement purge itself of those hideous “racists” in their grass roots movement. Yes, the very same mental midgets who just a few weeks ago were condemning a Hallmark greeting card with an outer space theme because they think “black holes” means “black hos”, an organization which is explicitly organized for the exclusive benefit of one race of people, and whose name contains the words “Colored People”, actually had the gall to pass this resolution.

This was a great opportunity for the Tea Party movement to show some backbone by laughing in the face of the imbeciles at the NAACP. But did they? Of course not. Predictably, they responded in the same tired, pusillanimous manner with which they always respond to these never ending accusations. Instead of replying with a loud BWAHAHAHA! or a “Yeah? What’s your point?” or “So what?” or “Of course we’re racists -we’re white people.

That’s what “racist” means or “Can any of you race hustlers even spell “racist”?”, they predictably went into their usual bend over and grab their ankles mode. They protested that oh no, we’re not racists at all, we don’t tolerate racists at our rallies which are really huge rainbow coalitions, and it’s the NAACP and the liberals who are the real racists, etc., etc. You know, the lame “Bull Connor was a Democrat!” defense. It never works, but they just keep trotting it out like some lucky charm in the vain hope that this time it will work.

Racist means white person. Period. Until the Tea Partiers get that through their heads, nothing’s going to change, and they’re never going to be an effective political force. They really, really need to read Racism, Schmacism.

The reason why I mention this, is because Jim Hoft, whom I mentioned above, has linked to the Council of Conservative Citizens website. This group, for what it is worth, was called at one point, “The White Council” and was believed to be responsible for the murder of four civil rights workers in Mississippi.  Anyhow, when I brought this up, Hoft moved the link to the posting previous to that one. I noticed it and brought it up; he choose to do nothing. So, that tells me, that Hoft just does not care, because with him, it is all about “the cause…”

Now, let me end this by saying this: I am all for being against Socialism. I am all for being against big Government, I am all for being against Identity Politics, I am all for being against Terrorism and Islamic fascism and Muslim Intolerance; which really is just another form of hate. But, what I am NOT for, is combating Hate…with Hate. That my friends, is what these people are doing. Quite honestly, if these is all what there is,to being a Republican or someone of the right. Then, by all means, count me the hell out. I really am not one to hate, based upon race, color, creed and yes, even religion.

If the right does not change that image, which I just described above; they are going to have an image problem for a LONG time to come.

Walking it back a bit

Posted on2 Comments

As those of you who read this blog on a daily basis know, in a fit of anger the other day, I decided to tell the World that I was no longer a “Right of Center.”

I tend to say many things when I am ticked off.

Listen folks, I am an American.  I am also someone who believes that America is a great place and that we have it good here and last thing we need is a bunch of idiots from California, New York, and other such liberal bastions lousing it up for us.  They have already done this to a point, however, I believe that we can still reverse course and make things right, if we get the right leadership in the White House and in Congress.

Another point that I would like to make is this; Centrists, for all their good points also have issues as well. They tend to be accepting to far left socialism.  I just cannot find that acceptable, socialism and Democratic policy has been the ruin of many a good State; Michigan included.  I ought to know this, as I live only about 15 miles from Downtown Detroit.  Detroit, before the rise of black liberalism in the Detroit area, was an industrial Mecca, people came for all around the Country, just to get a good job in the auto plants.  What happened?  Well, if I were a partisan hack, I would simply blame the unions.  They are easy, but there is much more to it than this.  The international auto industry changed; and the big three here did not and as a result; the hiring days ended.

Now my statement about black liberalism is not a racist one, but rather a political one — simply put, black liberals just were not able to run this city like their white predecessors. Why was this?  Because of the identity politics of the city, this goes back to the first black mayor of Detroit.  The election of the first black Mayor of Detroit was widely seen as a defeat of the white Democratic power structure in Detroit.  Another reason was the corruption in the City of Detroit.  Mayor Coleman Young was the most corrupt Mayor ever.  The reason why he was never caught is that he was just that good.  Another reason is that it is believed that Mayor Young was bribing investigators as well.  Nothing says leave me alone better than a case full of money.  It does tend to work.

As I have said on this blog many times.  I will always tell you what I think; not what some partisan talking point says.  I will tell you what I, personally, think about politics and policy.  If I feel something is wrong, I will tell you about it.  If I like something, I will tell you that as well — Having said that, I personally believe that Andrew BreitBart is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being.  Andrew Breitbart knowingly released a video that portrayed a woman in a dishonest manner.  That, together with the things that this disgusting excuse for a Jew said about Ted Kennedy the DAY he died, just proved to me what sort of a vile, disgusting, piece of human excrement that this man really is.  Now, if anyone wants to play the Semite card because I brought up the fact that Breitbart is a Jew, feel free, I would give two flips about that, I would have said that about him if he were White, Black, or Latino. The issue here is not Breitbart’s Semite status, it is his morals; and quite bluntly, they suck.

Now as for my politics, I still consider myself a Classic Liberal, a libertarian-minded individual, a right of center, a Goldwater type;  someone who believes in the individual rather than the collective.  I am someone that believes that a person has the right to succeed and a right to fail.  I have not changed; I was simply angered by what I saw as an opportunist smearing someone to make a cheap political point.  There should be no place for that sort of nonsense in the discourse of politics; however, in this age of unfiltered new media it does happen.  The question is, will we as Bloggers, and Americans continue to give a platform to the vile disgusting likes of this morally depraved fool?  That is the question that all of us in this thing we call the Blogosphere should be asking ourselves this day — and not whether this woman is a socialist; of course she is, that really is not the point.  The point was, she was smeared as a racist and is not; THAT is the point my dear friends.  Until we can get to that place of realizing that, the Blogosphere of the right, will be seen as nothing more than a child’s playground and propaganda mill; and that my friends is the sad thing about this, it has destroyed us as a whole.

The real sick and sadistic part of this whole mess is this.  A little while back, the controversial Louis Farrakhan said that Jews have caused damage to blacks for years.  At the time, I thought that to be an outrageous statement, not to mention Anti-Semitic; now it seems that the people like Andrew Breitbart and many others on the right are trying their damnedest to prove Farrakhan right.  I think we as a whole, on the right, need to work on that little image very quick.  Because frankly at this point, we are giving people like Farrakhan and the many people on the left, that think like him; black, White, Latino, and whatever else, the talking point they need to further that “gospel” of hatred.

That is my opinion and I welcome yours.

Why I left the Right: Exhibit C for Conspiracy

Posted on1 Comment

As you already know there is a HUGE story about the USDA workers firing.

…and what is wing-nut Andrew Breitbart now saying, that he has been exposed?

Think Progress reports:

Two white farmers who were supposedly discriminated against by former USDA official Shirley Sherrod spoke out on her behalf yesterday, saying “no way in the world” is she racist.

But last night, the right-wing blogger who instigated this faux controversy questioned the white farmers’ honesty and repeated his false racist charges. In interviews with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and CNN, the Iron City, GA couple Roger and Eloise Spooner described Sherrod as a “friend for life” and a “good person” who helped save their farm. Speaking with CNN’s John King, right-wing provocateur Andrew Breitbart challenged Eloise Spooner’s “purported” story, accusing King of trusting Sherrod “that the ‘farmer’s wife’ is the farmer’s wife…

The complete interview can be found Here and Here. But the money part is this right here:

Transcript:

You tell me as a reporter how CNN put on a person today who purported to be the farmer’s wife? What did you do to find out whether or not that was the actual farmer’s wife? I mean, if you’re going to accuse me of a falsehood, tell me where you’ve confirmed that had this incident happened 24 years ago. […]

You’re going off of her word that the farmer’s wife is the farmer’s wife?

Yeah, like CNN or anyone else for the matter is going to grab someone off of the street and put them on a farm and tell them, presumably at gunpoint or whatever is in Andrew Breitbart’s mind; and force them to say they were helped by this woman. Andrew Breitbart has lost all credibility in this situation and is now spinning like a top and has crossed over into WorldNetDaily territory. In short, the man is basically trying to save face and is failing badly.

Just another reason why I left the right.

Others, on the left covering this, and hell, who wouldn’t?!?!?!?!?!?:

WOW: Even Jonah Goldberg thinks that Andrew Breitbart should apologize to Shirley Sherrod

Posted on1 Comment

Now this is a surprise:

I think she should get her job back. I think she’s owed apologies from pretty much everyone, including my good friend Andrew Breitbart. I generally think Andrew is on the side of the angels and a great champion of the cause. He says he received the video in its edited form and I believe him. But the relevant question is, Would he have done the same thing over again if he had seen the full video from the outset? I’d like to think he wouldn’t have. Because to knowingly turn this woman into a racist in order to fight fire with fire with the NAACP is unacceptable. When it seemed that Sherrod was a racist who abused her power, exposing her and the NAACP’s hypocrisy was perfectly fair game. But now that we have the benefit of knowing the facts, the equation is completely different.

Now that is a very big shock to see this guy make a turn like this. Very interesting…

I mean, seriously. To me, this was nothing more than a high tech lynching. If I were a black person and I was in the White House or even remotely close to it in a Governmental position. I would be looking for another job really fast. Because who is to say that BreitBart is not holding onto something else that might damage someone? Of course, that is what the far right wants, they want those “Dirty Niggers” out of the White House and out of the Government. Because of how it is poisoning the White House or whatever stupidity those people happen to believe.

Why I left the Right: Exhibit C for Compassion

Posted on

….or in this idiots case, exhibit A for asshole:

The people who have been laid off and cannot find work are generally people with poor work habits and poor personalities. I say “generally” because there are exceptions. But in general, as I survey the ranks of those who are unemployed, I see people who have overbearing and unpleasant personalities and/or who do not know how to do a day’s work. They are people who create either little utility or negative utility on the job. Again, there are powerful exceptions and I know some, but when employers are looking to lay off, they lay off the least productive or the most negative. To assure that a worker is not one of them, he should learn how to work and how to get along — not always easy. . — Ben Stein over at American Spectator via Think Progress

Coming from someone who has never, ever, done a ounce of physical labor in his life.

This, my friends, is why I being to really back away from the right. What kind of tone-deaf jerk makes a statement like that? Someone who has money and does not need to work; that’s who! I mean, the man was born into a life of privilege. No true working class person would ever make a statement like this, ever. I am however, resisting the temptation of calling this four-eyed jerk some sort of an awful name about his Jewish heritage; I mean, that could have something to do with it. I mean, it is not a myth that most Jews, especially the “well to do” ones, look down the nose at the more “common folk” America — especially we common folk of Christian Heritage. It is no secret that most Jews despise Christians.

Either way, this is a just a classic case of why I basically threw in the towel with the right and now just consider myself a centrist.

This is why the right should NOT ever get into sword fights over race

First a word from Glenn Beck:

Now the FULL video from the NAACP:

Money part in the second video starts at 16:30, and goes to about 24:00.

Meanwhile Andrew BreitBart is still spinning:

But even if the full video shows what Sherrod says it does, Breitbart said he’s seen enough.

“I think the video speaks for itself,” he said. “The way she’s talking about white people … is conveying a present tense racism in my opinion. But racism is in the eye of the beholder.”

He also takes issue with how the audience, many of them members of the NAACP, respond positively to her comments — proof, he says, of prevalent racism.

Yeah, nice way to try deflect criticism away from yourself; and nice way to deflect the fact that your nothing more than a political hack with an agenda and no sort of journalistic integrity at all. I knew this all was coming but I figured that Andrew Breitbart had done his homework. Turns out, he didn’t; and now he and everyone, which includes me unfortunately, has egg on their faces.

Stupidity from the Moderation Cue

Well, seeing that I broke from the right, because of their stupidity; like having sword fights with the NAACP, instead of covering real stories, like the murder of a Republican Election official in Tennessee. I now am getting silly comments in my moderation cue in the comments section, stuff like this right here:

How about Media Matters, I sent it to them? They may give you the attention you seek.

Oh Yes, I am an attention seeking whore, who needs the far left Media Matters to give me the spotlight.

A real knee slapper that one is… HAW HAW HAW!  🙄

I already tell, this is going to be a very interesting experience dealing with these idiot wingers.

Updated: Why was this man murdered?

Posted on6 Comments

Why was this man killed?

Who did it and Why?

Those are questions that I would like to know….

From KnoxNews.com:

The Victim: Jim Miller - Monroe County Election Commission Chairman

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. — Investigators are tight lipped, rumors are flying and a community is in shock by the discovery Saturday of a body that is widely believed to be Monroe County Election Commission Chairman Jim Miller, stuffed in the trunk of a burning car.

Late Monday afternoon, it was announced that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had become the lead agency of the four agencies investigating the case.

“It is Jim’s car, and Jim is missing,” said his longtime attorney and personal friend, John Cleveland, who is the city attorney for Sweetwater, Tenn. “But everybody would be pleased … to find out that we are wrong (and it is not him).”

Cleveland issued a statement Monday on behalf of Miller’s family that clearly indicates they believe he is the victim. Miller was last seen at the county’s Election Commission office around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. He was working that day because of early voting, said County Election Administrator James R. Brown.

“He’d made a call to his wife and was going home, but he never made it home,” Brown said. “This has got people talking in the county. It’s got people wondering.

Now why would I even remotely care about this? This is why:

Miller, 60, was a lifelong Sweetwater resident and very active in community affairs and the Republican Party, say people who knew him.

[…]

Besides his Election Commission post, Miller was 1st District chairman of the county’s Republican Party. He was president of Jim Miller Excavating Co.

Could it be that this man discovered some election fraud in Tennessee or knew about some; and maybe was planning to go public with it, and the Democrats in Tennessee ordered him killed? Is it wrong to ask such questions? After all, President Obama did say, “Get in their faces!” I mean, we already know about the Republican who got shoved and punched by a union goon at a nurses union rally; who is to say that the Democratic National Committee or the Democratic Party in Tennessee did not order this man killed? Something stinks and I think some sort of new media investigation is needed.I would head down there myself; but I do not have the funds to check it out, and I really do not have any reliable transportation.

Let me say this; if this was a hit on a Republican election official, and anyone outside of the State level was involved with this, it could have horrible ramifications for the Democratic Party in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Let me also say this; I normally as a rule do not engage in this sort of speculation, but this one reeks of a plot to murder the political opposition. I just hope that I am wrong and this was an random act of violence towards an old man. However, it does warrant media investigation. However, we all know that the Liberal media will not get involved in this; because it does not fit their narrative.

Update: So far. Not one blogger has replied to my e-mail or even linked. Needless to say, I am not happy with the Conservative Blogosphere right now. 😡

Update #2: From the comments section:

This, most likely, is a family related murder not political. BtW, no identification has been made yet. This guy and his brothers have been in a 10 plus year war over a dairy farm with numerous appeals. miller v miller Appeals Court Ruling PDF I am from this area and people down here don’t get killed for politics. They get killed over probate and death gifts of estates. :twisted: This area is so republican that most people won’t even admit to being a Reagan democrat. :oops: Either way, it is sad.

Update #3: From the comments:

I wanted to update this story. In a surprising turn of events, the Sheriff Deputy who drove by and saw the car burning has been suspended with pay and declared a suspect in the arson and murder. Captain Kenny Hope of the Monroe County Sheriff Department even admitted that he was the only suspect and was questioned by the TBI (Tennessee version of the FBI.)

Captain Kenny Hope was hired in 2006, after Democrat Bill Blevins was elected as the first democratic sheriff and first democratic county-wide office holder in decades. His win was based not because of a political platform but perceived abuse and alleged illegal actions by the proceeding sheriff and disgraced Rep. General Session Judge Edwin Harris (Resigned over drug crimes) and Rep. Judge Hagler (Resigned after tapes were discovered containing sexual fantasies and who was suspected of killing a priest in Chattanooga in a weird sex case.)

Earlier in 2010 Captain Hope and the Mr. Miller was in a conflict during a traffic stop and arrest. The case is so convulsed that the DA and Judge recused themselves and the case was transferred out of County.

Sure enough, here are the links to the story here. Looks like there might just be some corruption on the local level after all.

UPDATED: Black Racism in the Obama Administration: Exhibit A – Shirley Sherrod Sherrod resigns – Update: Video didn’t tell full story.

Posted on3 Comments

This is a unbelievable Video:

Andrew Breitbart, as always, has the scoop on this terrible video:

In fact, it’s worse. The media that provided the left a platform to accuse the Tea Party, all the while refusing to air any exculpatory evidence. Again, the mainstream media inserts itself as the number one weapon in the progressive weapons stash. Political correctness, as the Duke Lacrosse case exemplified, trumps all in PC America and her afflicted media.

But the new media will not be silenced. It will not allow for the main stream media to propagate hateful and hurtful lies in order to save the Democratic Party from the toxic choices it has made over the past few years. And by bringing up race, and demanding a zero tolerance of racism, the left, and the NAACP in particular, has opened itself up for scrutiny.

We are in possession of a video from in which Shirley Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaks at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia. In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.

In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.

Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.

via » Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism–2010 – Big Government.

Unbelievable…… This woman uses the fact that white people mistreated blacks many, many, many years ago, as an excuse to discriminate against a white man in the twenty-first century. As I told you all before, Black Racism is not a myth, it does exist and it is justified by the liberal media in America. Now, some of you might say, “Well, this has existed for many years.” Sure, it has; but it was mainly confined to the local level, like say in Detroit and many metropolitan cities. This is on the national level and it should not be tolerated at all.  Shirley Sherrod should be terminated from her job immediately. She has demonstrated in this video, that she is totally incapable of being fair and just in her ability to help ALL people; and not just those of color.

This, I am afraid, is what people like Senator Barry Goldwater feared, when he refused to sign the Civil Rights act of 1964. Not only that, but you also notice too, that no Liberals have spoken out against this? That is because the Democratic Party; which is basically now controlled by the Obama Administration supports and now sanctions this sort of activity.

Remember this sort of nonsense come the 2010 and 2012 elections and vote accordingly. Racism is wrong; no matter if it is White against Black or Black against White — It is still wrong and should not be allowed, much less tolerated in a public office or from a public official.

Finally: Tea Party Federation kicks Mark Williams and the Tea Party Express out of the movement

Posted on1 Comment

A HUGE Kudos to the Tea Party Federation for doing this:

The National Tea Party Federation, an organization that represents the Tea Party political movement around the country, has expelled conservative commentator Mark Williams and his Tea Party Express because of an inflammatory blog post he wrote, federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday.

Appearing on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” Webb said that Williams and the Tea Party Express — which has held a series of events across the country to generate support for the movement — no longer were part of the National Tea Party Federation.

via Tea Party Federation kicks out Williams over blog post – CNN.com.

The Press Release is here:

Effective Immediately, Tea Party Express Is No Longer a Member

of the National Tea Party Federation


Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 at 3:43pm

Last night, the members of the National Tea Party Federation participating in an “All Hands” conference call unanimously decided the following:

The membership of the National Tea Party Federation has this evening suspended and will immediately expel Tea Party Express from any further association with the Federation should they fail to publicly rebuke Mark Williams and remove him from their ranks by 3 pm eastern time Saturday July 17.

The rebuke must take the following form:

1. Mark Williams must be officially removed from the ranks of the Tea Party Express.

2. Notice of Mark Williams’ removal must be placed prominently on the official Tea Party Express website.

3. Tea Party Express must issue a press release articulating points 1 and 2 above.

* * *

Last night, a member of the National Tea Party Federation communicated our decision directly to a member of the leadership team of Tea Party Express. That leader’s response was clear: they have no intention of taking the action we required for their group to continue as a member of the National Tea Party Federation.

Therefore, effective immediately the National Tea Party Federation is expelling Tea Party Express from the ranks of our membership.

Of course, some bloggers, including one that I will never link to directly is bringing up the fact that the word “Racism” is not used in the press release. Which is pretty ironic, considering the fact that he is a known stalker and slanderer himself. Anyhow, this was a very good move on the part of the National Tea Party Federation; as racism, whether nuanced or outright, just should not be tolerated at all, by anyone or any side of the political debate.

A personal note to Mark Williams: Hey, idiot! You hate black people? Then take your idiotic ass over the Democratic Party where you belong sir. You are NOT one of us!  I am sure the Klan or Stormfront.org will welcome you with open arms. Because you know what? You possess the same moronic mentality that those mental midgets possess. I think Mark Williams and Craig Bodeker ought to get together and compare notes; because God knows, they are two peas out of the same pot — that should be shunned and ignored. Along with the rest of the damn crackpots; like Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul and the rest of the Anti-Semites and racists that are still left over from the Paleo-Conservative era.

The most sane thing I have read about the DOJ Black Panther Case yet

Posted on1 Comment

It comes from none other than Rick Moran over at Right Wing NutHouse:

I don’t for a minute believe Holder and Obama are racists. I believe they are politically correct jackasses who sought to bestow a political gift on a favored constituency. For those – including Boehlert – who believe that this issue was small potatoes, perhaps they might explain the furious activity surrounding it from both the White House and the Department of Justice. This timeline of White House involvement and NAACP lobbying on behalf of the Panthers pretty much destroys the idea that there was a legitimate reason to drop the civil suit. It was politics, pure and simple. And having spent the 2008 campaign rightly railing against the politicization of the Bush justice department, Obama and Holder could hardly be expected to admit to doing the same.

This doesn’t excuse Limbaugh or Beck from making their jaw dropping claims about Obama sticking it to white people or that the president is trying to foment a race war. But are those comments ignorant, stupid, irrational, and paranoid? Or are they racist?

You simply can’t automatically identify political speech you disagree with as racist like Boehlert does in his ridiculously exaggerated screed. Of course it’s bonkers to believe that Obama wants a race war, or that he’s out for payback against whites for slavery. But why is that necessarily a racist comment? What makes it racist, specifically? If it were racist based on the fact that it’s nutty and dead wrong, that encompasses a lot of territory. And ascribing racist attitudes based solely on the fact that the president is black just doesn’t cut it unless you want to drastically demean and lower the bar for what constitutes racism in political speech. Using that formula, all opposition speech against the president should be dismissed as racist – an outcome no doubt devoutly wished for by Obama partisans but nonsense on its face.

Go read the rest… It is very good.

This idiot ought to be ran out of the Tea Party movement and out of the Conservative movement on a rail

I do truly hope that this racist tool dies in a damn house fire!

This comes Via The Reid Report, so called Tea Party leader Mark Williams writes this bunch of bile on his blog:

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing.  Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards.  That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week.  We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.

The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly.  Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all Colored People to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare?  What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us Colored People! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.”  What kind of world would we have is I  ever  to control and be responsible for my life own?  As Colored People we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions and if you do not agree than there is not enough Colored in your People, as we labeled Ken Gladney [source]

The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.”  Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.”  That is outrageous!    Totally racist!  The tea party expects Colored People to be productive members of society, especially when our mission is to convince them that progress is impossible for them based on the color of their skin?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever.  We had a great gig.  Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by someone else.  Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we say that belong.

Sincerely

Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew  National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person

It seems that he edited out a very offensive part, it originally read:

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Like I said, I hope this racist bastard dies in a damn fire. He should NOT be spokesperson or leader of ANY Tea Party group at all! He must go. 😡

First go read John Stagliano’s Obscenity Trial.

Now, check out this video that comes via Reason: (Mild Content Warning!)

Basically this whole thing boils down to this; you either are on the side of the Religious Right that says any form of Porno is morally wrong, or you side with the libertarians that believe that Obscenity, or in this case, Porn; is protected by the First Amendment.  Hence the clash between your Libertarian Conservatives and your Christian Religious Right, which are, for the most part, Republican.

Bill O’Reilly and Sarah Palin Holler at each other about illegal immigration

Posted on

The Video:

The Daily Caller reports:

When former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin signed a contract in January to become a regular guest on Fox News, many of her critics said it was part of a strategy by the Republican to avoid tough or skeptical questions and engage only with friendly members of the media.

But Bill O’Reilly appears to have missed that memo.

The larger-than-life Fox News host with the top rated cable news show on TV has a history of challenging Palin. “You don’t have that much experience,” he told the former governor last fall, though he has also defended her performance as governor.

But Palin’s two most recent appearances on “The O’Reilly Factor” have drawn notice for the unusually testy exchanges between the TV titan and the most famous conservative political figure in America. And according to one source with firsthand knowledge of Palin’s feelings on the matter, she is not happy about it.

This past Friday, O’Reilly interrupted Palin numerous times and pushed her to give an answer on how she would solve the nation’s immigration problem after securing the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Well, again, first let me go back to the importance of securing the border,” Palin said.

“No, no, but we got that, we got that governor,” O’Reilly interjected.

“Mm mm, no we don’t,” Palin countered.

“Yeah, the people watching this program have it. We have it. We assume that you as president would secure the border,” O’Reilly said. “But now you have to look inward, and you’ve got 12 million people staring at you. What are you going to have them do?”

Palin talked generally about not giving illegal immigrants a “free pass” and said, “We’re not going to reward the bad behavior.” She even, when asked what to do with immigrants who don’t register with the government, responded: “You deport ‘em.”

But when O’Reilly pressed her to outline what to do with those who do register for normalization, Palin was either unable or unwilling to answer the question: “Bill, it makes me uncomfortable that we’re even going down that path so far when—”

“You have to go,” O’Reilly interrupted. “You have to go down that path because it’s going to come up.”

“This is where it gets very complicated governor,” O’Reilly said to Palin, who wore an expression that could be described as irritated or bemused.

There is one word here; ratings. This is why Bill O. does what he does. Not only this, Bill O’Reilly is not a Republican; he is quite the independent and he is not going to give Palin a free pass.

It seems some of Palin’s people are not happy about it:

But a website with a close association to Palin – Conservatives4Palin.com – lashed out at O’Reilly.

“Mr. O’Reilly prides himself on being fair and balanced. O’Reilly regularly proclaims that when he interviews Governor Palin he’ll be fair without asking her gotcha questions. Well, on Friday night O’Reilly broke his own rule,” said the website.

“Had O’Reilly stopped interrupting her and allowed her to answer his question we would actually have heard what she had to say. Twice the Governor begun explaining her position and O’Reilly rudely interrupted her,” said a post author at Conservatives4Palin named Sheya. “To Bill O’Reilly: Can you PLEASE let Governor Palin finish her sentences so you actually get the ANSWER to your questions. You know, you may learn something in the process.”

Let me give the Palin-bots a real quick lesson in real life. Not everyone is going to suck up to Sarah Palin and if Sarah Palin cannot handle Bill O’Reilly; then how is she going to handle dealing the issues facing America?
Not everyone feels that way though:
A veteran Republican operative, however, said the O’Reilly sessions are good for Palin.
“Bill and Palin make for good TV. He gives her a run for her money and she feels free to give it right back to him,” the GOP official said. “The dynamic is a good one for the network, and it also helps stretch her on policy questions she would not otherwise feel obliged to answer.”
Again, I say: Ratings.

The Left and Israel

Posted on1 Comment

I am writing this, because I think a point is being missed by some on the right.

This is in response to Van Helsing’s posting about left and Israel, and I give you a quote from that:

The harder you try to be good, the faster liberals will knife you in the back in favor of those who don’t try at all.

First off, let me straighten that whole thing out. The reason why the left rejects Israel’s right to exist; is because liberals in general; but not all of them, reject the Old Testament or as those who are Jewish would call it; the writing of the prophets. In essence, they reject the Biblical history of the Nation of Israel.

Van Helsing also posts a “feel sorry for Israel” video, which I will not embed here, because I just feel that it is one-sided. Israel is not without blame; I am sorry to be the one to say this, but I will, because I believe in speaking the truth. I do not accept Israel’s explanation of what happened to the U.S.S. Liberty. In fact, Neither did people in the United States Government:

Dean Rusk, U.S. Secretary of State at the time of the incident, wrote:

I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn’t believe them then, and I don’t believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.[51] Source

So, as you see, I am not alone in my opinion of this situation. Now, am I an Anti-Semite? No, I have nothing against the Jewish people. But I will not sit with blinders on, and say that Israel has done nothing wrong in their past; because they have. I personally believe that the Parties responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty should have been arrested, brought back to America and charged with war crimes. But, because we were dealing with Israel; who quite honestly thinks of America is it’s own useful idiot, they were never charged in a American Military Court.

Further more, I felt whole entire flotilla incident was poorly handled by the Government of Israel; and after all of the controversy; Israel allowed the goods in anyhow. Which I felt was just downright stupid. But yet the Government of Israel wants us, as Conservative Americans to support them; when they will not even support themselves, by enforcing their own laws. That my friends is an exercise in stupidity.

Not to mention the fact that the United States of America basically is funding Israel’s state run healthcare system; which includes a “Public Option”, something we do not have here in the United States. My question to you, as a “Right of Center” Blogger is this — Why are the American people’s tax dollars being used to fund something in Israel, that we do not even have here in the United States? Until the rabid Zionists can answer that little question, along with the real truth behind the U.S.S. Liberty — without playing the Semite Card, which they are good for, then we have nothing to discuss.
