Controversial LSE psychologist sparks backlash with his 'scientific' findings
0 comments Posted by ai at 3:21 AMWell this should really get the fur flying on this one.
According to Satoshi Kanazawal, 'science' would suggest Naomi Campbell is less attractive than fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson

So, now it’s scientifically proven that black woman are less attractive than white women. Then I guess it’s settled then if we’re talking about science after all, right?
Isn’t that the same scenario with man-made global warming, the scientists say it’s a fact?
Well, I guess I need to be consistent. I don’t believe in man-made global warming and I think that black woman are the most beautiful in the world.
Am I wrong twice or does science take the day?

This is where Liberals show themselves to be bereft of common sense. Letting kids have access to porn in a public library is a perversion, pardon the pun, of free speech.
I don’t want my tax dollars paying for a horny 12 yr old wanting to get his nut off when he should be researching the Grapes of Wrath or something.
Thankfully we have at least a couple of pols left in this city with common sense.

(Bumped)See the Tense Faces Inside White House Situation Room as the Raid Went Down
0 comments Posted by ai at 4:07 AM
I’m gonna give President Obama his due. He did a great job here as commander-in-chief. I’m setting politics aside and give the president a big thumbs up—job well done, Sir!
The Blaze reports from halfway around the world, President Barack Obama and his national security team monitored the strike on Osama bin Laden’s compound in real time, watching and listening to the firefight that killed the terrorist leader.
Gathered in the White House Situation Room, members of the group held their breath and barely spoke as they waited to see whether a carefully crafted yet extremely risky plan would succeed, said White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan. Obama had been playing golf but returned to the White House for the suspenseful watch Sunday
Brennan said he would not reveal details “about what types of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there but it was — it gave us the ability to actually track it on an ongoing basis.” Typically, members of the Navy SEAL team that conducted the operation wear helmet cameras that transmit sound and video to their operation centers and that data can be fed live to the White House and Pentagon.
As the SEALs lowered themselves from helicopters into bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, the president and his advisers could only wait.
“It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time, I think, in the lives of the people who were assembled here yesterday,” Brennan told reporters. “The minutes passed like days, and the president was very concerned about the security of our personnel.”

A little glimpse of the best of the best. But, no too much info because then I have to kill you!
Business Insider reports the military team that killed Osama Bin Laden is an elite special forces group unofficially called Seal Team 6.
Officially, the team's name is classified and not available to the public, technically there is no team 6. A Tier-One counter-terrorism force similar to the Army's elusive Delta group, Team 6's mission rarely make it to paper much less the newspaper.
It shows how important the publicity about Bin Laden's killing is to the U.S. that this morning, Team 6 is front-page news.
The members of Team 6 are all "black" operatives. They exist outside military protocol, engage in operations that are at the highest level of classification and often outside the boundaries of international law. To maintain plausible deniability in case they are caught, records of black operations are rarely, if ever, kept.
The development of SEAL Team 6 was in direct response to the 1980 attempt to rescue the American hostages held in Iran. The mission was a terrific failure that fell apart at many points and illustrated the need for a dedicated counter-terrorist team capable of operating with the utmost secrecy
The Team was labeled 6 at the time to confuse Soviet intelligence about the number of SEAL teams in operation at the time. There were only two others.
Team 6 poached the top operatives from other SEAL units and trained them even more intensely from there. Even among proven SEAL's the attrition rate for Team 6 is reported to be nearly half.
There are no names available for current Team 6 members, but the CIA does recruit heavily from their numbers for their Special Operations Group, so it makes sense that they were chosen to work with the CIA on this mission.
Team 6 is normally devoted to missions with maritime authority: ship rescues, oil rigs, naval bases or land bases accessible by water. There are no waterways near Bin Laden's compound.
When a former Navy SEAL was called for a comment about this article all he could say was: "You know I'd love to help you man, but I can't say a word about Team 6. There is no Team 6."
I love that!

Tempers flare and shoes are thrown at Pastor Terry Jones' Dearborn rally
0 comments Posted by ai at 7:11 PM
Terry Jones may be out there, but not everything he has to say is off base. I have a problem with Muslims who refuse to assimilate to American culture no differently than if it were any other group.
But, Islam is the chic religion of the Left. As far as I’m concerned Islam is not a religion of peace at all. They put a much higher value on death and martyrdom which is why they have no problem strapping bombs to babies.
That’s pretty sick if you ask me!
Detroit Free Press reports amid a heavy police presence, Pastor Terry Jones delivered a rambling speech Friday from the steps of Dearborn City Hall that lashed out at Islam and President Barack Obama, but much of his words were drowned out by the voices of a swarm of protesters across the street who called him a bigot.
Jones repeatedly provoked the crowd and insulted them. At one point, he ignored police requests by ambling down to the front of police barricades while taunting his opponents.
Angered, some of those protesters stormed past their police barricades and marched across Michigan Avenue as they hurled bottles and shoes at Jones' supporters across from them. One woman spit in Jones' direction.
The young crowd then pushed down a security fence that separated them from Jones' supporters and surged forward, their faces tight with anger. For a moment, it appeared a major clash was about to break out.
But Arab-American leaders and police pushed back the angry group as dozens of police officers in full riot gear marched out in single file to separate the two sides. At least two were arrested. Dearborn Mayor John O'Reilly Jr. said afterward that Jones was responsible for creating the disturbance by ignoring city requests not to approach the barricade.
"He refused to comply," O'Reilly said. "He was asked, 'Please don't come to the barricade.' He just ignored us. ... His goal was to start trouble. ... That shows his character."

Rick Perry, Texas governor, rips Obama's trip to tornado-devastated Alabama: What about our fires?
0 comments Posted by ai at 10:05 AM
I got a better point,Gov Perry!
Almost a year ago, Obama and the mainstream media virtually ignored the devastating flooding in Tennessee. He never visited there either.
I wonder if it’s because he lost Tennessee by double digits? Rush Limbaugh sure thought so.
New York Daily News reports as President Obama meets with Alabama families affected by deadly tornados that swept through the South earlier this week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking: What about us?
The Republican, long a critic of the president, once again ripped the Obama administration Thursday. This time, he bashed Obama for not responding to an April 16 request for a declaration of emergency in the Lone Star State, where wildfires have destroyed nearly 2 million acres.
"You have to ask, 'Why are you taking care of Alabama and other states?'" said Perry.
Texas officials asked the White House to make the declaration, which would have allocated federal funds to help the state deal with the crisis.
"I know our letter didn't get lost in the mail," Perry added.

Obama is running for re-election. And even though he lost Alabama by nearly 20 points to John McCain, there’s still a significant numbers of African Americans in Alabama that heeds desperately needs to hold the White House.

Black Chamber of Commerce Head Harry Alford: Obama is ‘Fanatical’ & ‘Marxist’ — I Only Voted for Him ‘Because He’s Black’
0 comments Posted by ai at 5:56 AM
The Obama White House is starting a fake Black Chamber of Commerce to fool the public. Well, it’s gonna work with some Black folks, lets be real here.
However, it must be noted that Obama visited Al Sharpton in New York a few weeks ago. That’s a big change because two years ago when running for president Obama didn’t wanna be seen with Sharpton in public. So something is up with the Black vote.
The Blaze reports that Harry Alford is the president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. And boy is he entertaining. He’s also not a fan of many of the business positions Democrats have taken.
You might remember him for his fiery exchange with call-me-Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in 2009, when he accused the senator of infusing race into a congressional hearing:
Today he joined Laura Ingraham on her radio show to talk about Obama’s business policies. He started with this:
“Obama wanted the National Black Chamber to dance to his music and have blind allegiance to his crazy programs and agenda, which are totally anti-business. We are a pro-business organization. So we have to stand on the side of business, and the benefit of our members, which are black entrepreneurs.”
Eventually he got to calling Obama and the administration “Marxist” and “fanatical.”
“They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas,” he said.
But that’s not all. Alford also admitted he only voted for Obama “because he’s [Obama] black,” a move he now regrets.
“That is a lesson I will take to my grave,” he said solemnly, later saying Obama is “wrecking” the country and is “dangerous.”

Obama “bans” reporter Carla Marinucci after she used smartphone to video tape protesters at DNC fund raiser
0 comments Posted by ai at 3:43 AM
I guess the president doesn’t want the news to get out that he gets protestors at his events and it isn’t all love anymore for “The One!”
It’s only suppose to be worship and fainting at his very presence and he can’t have modern tech f’ening up his image that he’s work so hard on to fool the public at large.
SF Gate reports that the hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.
White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.
The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci - who, like many contemporary reporters, has a phone with video capabilities on her at all times - pulled out a small video camera last week and shot some protesters interrupting an Obama fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel.
She was part of a "print pool" - a limited number of journalists at an event who represent their bigger hoard colleagues - which White House press officials still refer to quaintly as "pen and pad" reporting.
But that's a pretty Flintstones concept of journalism for an administration that presents itself as the Jetsons. Video is every bit a part of any journalist's tool kit these days as a functioning pen that doesn't leak through your pocket.
In fact, Carla and her reporting colleague, Joe Garofoli, founded something called "Shaky Hand Productions" - the semi-pro, sometimes vertiginous use of a Flip or phone camera by Hearst reporters to catch more impromptu or urgent moments during last year's California gubernatorial race that might otherwise be missed by TV.
The name has become its own brand; often politicians even ask if anyone from Shaky Hand will show at their event. For Carla, Joe and reporters at other Hearst newsrooms where Shaky Hand has taken hold, this was an appropriate dive into use of other media by traditional journalists catering to audiences who expect their news delivered in all modes and manners.
That's the world we live in and the President of the United States claims to be one of its biggest advocates.
Just the day before Carla's Stone Age infraction, Mr. Obama was at Facebook seated next to its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and may as well have been wearing an "I'm With Mark" t-shirt for all the mutual admiration going back and forth.

No, the tech savvy president can only be portrayed in a positive light. I like the, “we paid our dues, where’s our change?” Very catchy, I could see it on T-shirts for 2012.

Many times people don’t like to hear he Bible read to them because they can’t handle being convicted by it.
The Blaze reports when Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had a goal: read the Bible and introduce those waiting in line to the “gospel of Jesus Christ.” And for about 15 minutes he was successful. That is until a California Highway Patrolman took the Bible from his hands, arrested him, and told him he was guilty of preaching to a “captive audience.”

This is really tough to see. The power of God is something to behold. Look for the climater change nuts to crawl out the woodwork and blame man for this storm.
It has to be too much use of fossil fuels causing this strange weather, right? God has nothing to do with it?
Think again! 

Daily Mail reports:
• Current death toll stands at 58 in Alabama, 11 in Mississippi, two in Georgia and one in Tennessee
• Alabama university town of Tuscaloosa one of worst hit areas and amazing video shows tornado hitting
• Louisiana police officer killed in Mississippi when a tree fell onto his tent as he shielded his young daughter
Severe weather across South could beat 1974 record of 148 tornadoes in 16 hours
Severe storms laced with tornadoes battered America’s South on Wednesday and killed at least 72 people across four states.
Fifty-eight people died in Alabama, 11 in Mississippi, two in Georgia and one in Tennessee - with parts of the city that is home to the University of Alabama destroyed by a gigantic tornado.
Homes and buildings across Tuscaloosa were taken apart, one hospital said its emergency room had admitted at least 100 people and a video showed paramedics lifting a child out of a flattened home.
The storm system spread destruction on Tuesday night and Wednesday from Texas to Georgia, and it is forecast to hit the Carolinas next and then move further northeast.
A state of emergency was declared in Alabama, where 15 were killed just in Birmingham, and drivers were abandoning their cars in Tuscaloosa as traffic was halted by downed trees and power lines.

Heckler Handcuffed at Allen West Townhall Is Former Air America Host
0 comments Posted by ai at 3:56 AM
I like how Liberals really wanna get some face time at these town halls. So, in essence these are the entitlement minded people wanting to argue to continue getting free shit.
Palm Beach Post:
FORT LAUDERDALE — U.S. Rep. Allen West’s first town hall meeting since voting for a controversial Medicare proposal saw three hecklers removed — one in handcuffs — from a generally supportive crowd of about 500.
The Tuesday night meeting was West’s first meeting with constituents since his April 15 vote for a Republican budget that includes a revamping of Medicare.
West was less than a minute into his remarks tonight when two or three men began shouting from the audience.
“How about our Medicare that you’re stealing?” shouted one.
“How about allowing questions from the audience?” shouted another man, apparently dissatisfied with West’s decision to answer written questions submitted by audience members before the meeting.
Way to stand up West!

Transgender victim of McDonald's Chrissy Lee Polis beating speaks out
0 comments Posted by ai at 2:52 PM
This story has taken a very interesting twist!
The initial reports were that that the victim was a white woman being beat up by 2 black girls (I still call them savages). But, later details emerged that the victim was really a man dressed like a woman.
Well, the later reports has now been confirmed with Chrissy Lee Polis going public and confirming that she is rally a dude.
My opinion of the incident has not changed. No one deserves to get beaten down like that.
However, this makes a very interesting dilemma for Liberals to see if they determine whether or not this was a hate crime because the individuals involved are both in protected groups. The assailants were black and the victim is a transgender individual.
How is this gonna work now?
Had the assailants been to white men and the victim black male—boom--hate crime!
This only underscores the silliness of hate crimes legislation in the first place.
Baltimore Sun reports:
Transgender woman calls attack 'hate crime,' has been afraid to be seen in public
A transgender woman beaten at a Baltimore County McDonald's spoke out on Saturday, saying that the attack was "definitely a hate crime" and that she's been afraid to go out in public ever since.
"They said, 'That's a dude, that's a dude and she's in the female bathroom,' " said Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who said she stopped at the Rosedale restaurant to use the restroom. "They spit in my face."
A worker at the restaurant taped Monday's attack and created a graphic video that went viral last week. After the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views on websites, McDonald's issued a statement condemning the incident, and on Saturday the worker who taped the incident was fired.
The video shows two females — one of them a 14-year-old girl — repeatedly kicking and punching Polis in the head as an employee and a patron try to intervene. Others can be heard laughing, and men are seen standing idly by.
Toward the end of the video, one of the suspects lands a punishing blow to the victim's head, and Polis appears to have a seizure. A man's voice tells the women to run because police are coming.
"I knew they were taping me; I told the guy to stop," said Polis, a resident of Baltimore. "They didn't help me. They didn't do nothing for me."
County police confirmed that the attack occurred April 18 in the 6300 block of Kenwood Ave. Police said the 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile, while charges were pending against an 18-year-old woman. Reached Saturday, police officials said the investigation was continuing.
The police report does not provide a motive but quotes one of the suspects saying that the fight was "over using a bathroom."
Polis suffered cuts to her mouth and face, and said she had a seizure. She also acknowledged that she was intoxicated at the time of the assault.
On Saturday she said she continued to suffer from painful bruises.
Polis, who said she had a sex-change operation to become a woman, said this isn't the first time that she's been picked on physically because of her sexual identity. She said she's been subjected to beatings and even sexual assaults.
She said seeing herself all over the Internet and all over the news has been "like walking out of the closet all over again." Polis is concerned that the public attention could trigger more violence — and worries it could hurt her chances of getting a job. "I want to cry, but I need to hold my head up," she said.

Wife Michi Nogami-Marshall arrested after Miami Dolphins star receiver Brandon Marshall is stabbed with kitchen knife
0 comments Posted by ai at 4:44 PM
Brandon Marshall is an asshole! He always has been since he entered the league. I’m sick and tired of these pampered athletes that don’t know how to act in civil society. Ya’ take a player out the ghetto, but ya’ can’t take the ghetto out of the player.
I don’t know what went down between him and his wife. But with his sordid track record, I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was indeed defending herself against this creep!
Daily Mail reports Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall is in hospital after allegedly being stabbed by his wife in the early hours of this morning. Michi Nogami-Marshall, has been arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
She told officers she stabbed him with a kitchen knife while defending herself, according to a police report posted on the South Florida Sun Sentinel's website.
She is in jail on a $7,500 bond. Marshall was taken to Broward General Hospital in Miami where he underwent surgery for a stab wound to the stomach.
No vital organs were pierced. Doctors have told representatives of the player that he should make full recovery in two to three weeks.
Marshall said he wanted to leave hospital immediately, but doctors advised against it in case of infection to the wound.
In a statement, Marshall's agents Harvey Steinberg and Kennard McGuire said: 'This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family, thankfully he will make a full recovery.
'We simply ask that his privacy is respected.'
This isn't the first time Marshall suffered a serious injury during the offseason. During the 2008 off-season he suffered a bad laceration to his arm when smashing through a television set at his home. Marshall initially said he slipped on a McDonald's wrapper but then admitted he also was involved in 'horseplay' with a family member.

Alinsky tactics: Wisconsin school employee busted for threatening gas station owner Dick Hiersfor selling gas to Republicans
0 comments Posted by ai at 5:23 AM
Never under estimate the capacity of public sector unions “to go thug”! And lets not forget they learned their tactics from Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama’s mentor.
WBAY reports that a Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it's a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers's Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
"I think that this whole thing has to end. It has to stop," said Hiers. "This type of stuff is totally uncalled for."
Hiers never thought his little gas station in the heart of Sheboygan would be the stage of political controversy. Then again, his week has been full of surprises.
"I was working back here and the answering machine went off, and I was a little surprised by that, and when I heard the message here, I was even a little more surprised."
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.
Caller: "Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?"
Gas station clerk: "Senator Leibham?"
Caller: "Yes. Do you guys support him?"
Clerk: "I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved."
Caller: "Alright, well you can tell Dick he's not good for business, I'll tell you that."
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call -- only to get surprise number two.
"And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office," he said.
"Obviously our school district equipment and the facilities are for the purposes of school," Superintendent Joseph Sheehan responded. "Any type of phone call leaving any types of threats or condoning any type of intimidation is strictly prohibited."

This is only the beginning! Expect more of these kinds of stunts happen across the country as public sector unions get more desperate continue sucking the public tit.

Atlanta Georgia mother Joie Lee uses Facebook to track down boy,17 Rodney Duncan , for 'under-age sex' with daughter

I’m still amazed how people put all their business on Facebook. Doesn’t make sense to me at all. Thankfully, the teens and pre-teens aren’t to slick to out-fox a concerned mom.
Daily Mail reports an Atlanta mother used Facebook to track down an older teenager who allegedly had sex with her 12-year-old daughter.
Joie Lee first became suspicious when she read part of an argument between her daughter, and the girlfriend of 17-year-old Rodney Duncan posted on the social networking site. When she found references to sex between Duncan and her daughter, she set about tracking down the girlfriend in order to confront the teenager face-to-face.
Speaking to WSBTV.com, Mrs Lees said of the initial Facebook post: 'It gave me a picture of the young man. I knew who he was. It led me to the girlfriend. She had information.'
After locating Duncan, and armed with information from his girlfriend, she confronted his mother at their home. But after Duncan's mother refused to talk Mrs Lee went to the police.

How stupid is this boy’s mother? It looks like the girl’s mother wanted to work things out between the both of them. But, since the 17 yr old mom acted like an ass, her son may face some serious jail time.

I asked earlier today what was Barack Obaama gonna now considering NATO admitted yesterday that it can’t prevent Ghadafi from killing Libyans at will.
Obama’s answer?
He’s sending in predator drones to turn the tide of the war. The problem is, it won’t work. So expect the MSM to really hype whenever one of these flying assassins happens to knock off a few G’s loyalists. B
But, the slaughter will continue without the media bothering to count the bodies.
Firedoglake reports that defense Secretary Robert Gates announced at a Pentagon briefing that President Obama has authorized the use of armed Predator drones over Libya. The unmanned planes have been used extensively in the Afghanistan and Pakistan missions, among other places. In fact, an amendment to the latest FAA Authorization bill, if passed by Congress, would allow for the use of drones in US airspace. So why not Libya?
Drawing another line in the sand after crossing several, Gates said that the President was holding firm on ground troops in Libya, vowing not to send them. Regime change “was always a political goal” best accomplished from inside Libya, Gates said, and the US role in the conflict was to provide space for that regime change by reducing Moammar Gadhafi’s military capability

From drive-by shooting to drive-thru funeral in the ‘hood in Compton California
0 comments Posted by ai at 8:01 PM
No this is not a photoshop joke. They actually have a drive-thru funeral parlor. To say this idea is tacky and low-budget is an understatement.
I don’t know what more to say other than how ridiculous this is.
ABC News reports that paying your respects to deceased loved ones just became a bit more convenient, at least in Compton, Calif. The Los Angeles Times reported that Adams funeral parlor, a fixture in Compton since 1974, opened a paved 12-foot wide drive-thru with a long, glass display window for people to drive up in their cars to pay their respects. This Google Maps street view shows the Adams funeral home with a small red sign that says, "Drive-Thru Viewings -- 5 to 9 p.m." This is not the first drive-thru funeral parlor in the country. There's also one in Chicago and Louisiana. (Google)

New York: Classic kids games like kickball, tag and whiffle ball deemed unsafe by idiot progresive state officials
0 comments Posted by ai at 4:22 PM
In the grand scale of problems that face the country, this may not be near the top of the list. However, this is another teachable moment as to the idiocy of progressive liberals.
Gimmie a break, whiffle ball is dangerous? Why don’t we just dressed up our kids as orange traffic pylons? This way we can really make sure to keep them fro harm
New York Daily News reports that state bureaucrats have identified a potentially deadly hazard facing our children this summer - freeze tag.
That's right, officials have decided the age-old street game - along with Wiffle Ball, kickball and dodgeball - poses a "significant risk of injury."
And classics like Capture the Flag, Steal the Bacon and Red Rover are also deemed dangerous in new state regulations for day camps.
"It looks like Albany bureaucrats are looking for kids to just sit in a corner in a house all day and not be outside," said state Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-St. Lawrence County).
"I don't think Wiffle Ball is a dangerous sport."
The Health Department created a list of supposedly risky recreational activities - which also includes more perilous pursuits like archery, scuba and horseback riding - in response to a state law passed in 2009.
The law sought to close a loophole that legislators said allowed too many indoor camp programs to operate without oversight.
Under the new rules, any program that offers two or more organized recreational activities - with at least one of them on the risky list - is deemed a summer camp and subject to state regulation.
Kimberly Baxter, 27, a medical assistant from South Ozone Park, Queens, said she played freeze tag with abandon as a youngster.
"I never got hurt, maybe scraped my knee once in a while but that was it," said Baxter, mom to a 1-year-old girl.
Deborah Graham, 51, a mother of two from Harlem, said moving around was less harmful than playing video games all summer.
"You could develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome," she said. "And when (kids) eat, eat, and eat, they get diabetes. That's dangerous."
She stressed that not every program will need to hire medical staff. Some simply need to have a plan in place to deal with medical emergencies.
While many New Yorkers scoffed at the idea of tag leading to traumatic brain or spinal injury, Bronx resident Kim Wainwright said it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Kids these days are kinda brutal so I can see those games being dangerous," said Wainwright, who has a 5-year-old. "I agree with it."

Hawaii Teacher assaults student (surname Bitangas) with hammer at Kailua High School

Did Obama attend this school? Is this common practice for Hawaiian teachers to whack kids on the head with hammers? That would explain a whole lot why Obama does what he does, I think.

Racist Orange County Republican Email: President Obama and His Parents Are Apes
0 comments Posted by ai at 3:33 PM![]()
Oh my God! We have racism in America!
I’m so glad we have Lefty bloggers that always seem to find the racists, especially around election time. If it wasn’t for them, I may forget to think the way I’m supposed to think about Republicans.
For those of you not hip to my intended tone, I’m being extremely sarcastic here. Now I don’t know the woman who allegedly sent out this vile email depicting President Obama and his parents as apes.
There’s nothing to defend there.
However, if you think the Left is really outraged over this incident, think again. For if the story is true, it fits nice and cozy into the Leftist template of portraying all Republicans as racists. It’s part of the same playbook as blaming the rich for stealing everyone’s money. And the impact of this story will have its desired affect in the black community.
So, Liberals throughout the country, will sip wine and cheese and hang a “mission accomplished” sign over their doorways.
Yes, we have racists in the country. But the Left is only interested in particular type of racists to fill out their blogs and throw up on YouTube.
When it came to this video of the New Black Panther Party advocating for the murder of White babies, the Left was predictably silent
Orange County Weekly reports that Orange County might be a beautiful oceanfront locale, but it's also home to Holocaust deniers, vicious anti-gay bigots and freakish big-haired televangelists.
Here, one of our Republican politicians welcomed the inauguration of the first African American U.S. president in early 2009 by sending out an email that depicted a watermelon field in front of the White House.
That incident drew embarrassing international attention, but now another Orange County Republican has apparently topped the watermelon imagery with another racist attack on President Barack Obama.
The Weekly has obtained a copy of an email sent to fellow conservatives this week by Marilyn Davenport, a Southern California Tea Party activist and member of the central committee of the Orange County Republican Party.
Under the words, "Now you know why no birth certificate," there's an Obama family portrait showing them as apes.
(Donald Trump must be elated to finally have an explanation about Obama's true birth circumstances.)
Reached by telephone and asked if she thought the email was appropriate, Davenport said, "Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people--mostly people I didn't think would be upset by it."
The image did upset several local Republicans.
"It's unbelievable," one high-ranking OC GOP official told me. "It's much more racist than the watermelon email. I can't believe it was sent out. I'm not an Obama fan but how stupid do you have to be to do this?"
Another GOP official, who also asked not to be identified, said that Davenport is "a really, really sweet old lady so I am surprised to hear about this."
Scott Baugh, chairman of the OC Republican Party, told Davenport that the email was tasteless, Davenport--a Fullerton-based political activist--admitted to me during the telephone interview.
"You're not going to make a big deal about this are you?" she asked me. "It's just an Internet joke."
But Baugh believes the email is a big deal.
"When I saw that email today I thought it was despicable," Baugh said. "It is dripping with racism and it does not promote the type of message Orange County Republicans want to deliver to the public. I think she should consider stepping down as an elected official."
Michael J. Schroeder, an Orange County resident and former chairman of the California Republican Party, also said he was disgusted.
"This is a three strikes situation for Marilyn Davenport," Schroeder said. "She was a passionate defender of former Newport Beach city councilman Dick Nichols who stated that he was voting against putting in more grass at Corona del Mar's beach because, he said, there were already 'too many Mexicans on the beach.' She was also on the wrong side of the fence with the Los Alamitos mayor and his White House watermelon patch picture. Now, she has managed to top both of those incidents by comparing African Americans to monkeys. She has disgraced herself and needs to resign. If she doesn't, the Republican Party must remove her."

The Lefty’s also had nothing to say when Chris Matthews made a racists comment by saying the forgot President Obama was black.
Truth be told, Liberals are every bit as racists as anyone one else because the racism they practice is the racism of low expectations and condescension of the blacks. But, they get to get away with it because many black folks are to foolishly beholden to Liberals to call it for what it is.
So, I’m just calling a spade a spade here.
