Notorious Right-Winger Promotes Hateful Racist Stereotypes

What kind of bigoted hatemonger would dare to promote the stereotype that African-Americans enjoy dressing up in colorful clothing and engaging in outrageous dancing to simplistic songs with pulsating rhythms? That man’s name would be the late, great Don Cornelius: Pamela Geller pays tribute to the entertainment impressario whose weekly TV program was the Fabulous Funkadelic [...]

A Note On Raaaaacism

by Smitty Legal Insurrection has a chilling video about raaaaacism and a prominent GOP candidate, of whom I’m not fan. One of the fascinating general questions about political leadership, and cutting across a variety of issues and candidates, is the notion of repentance. Mitt, in the linked clip, is all but called a raaaaacist. Ron [...]

Affirmative Action Is White Collar Welfare

by Smitty I don’t see the contradiction in saying that we will not discriminate, in a negative sense, while wanting the most qualified employees available, in the positive sense. These are ideas applied on a per-individual basis. Those ideas are applied in series, and the quota is far more important. Things go pear-shaped when companies [...]

Classics of the Golden Age of Fringe, Or: Ron Paul Digs the Beatles’ White Album

IYKWIMAITYD: Question: What do Ron Paul and Charles Manson have in common? Answer: Both warned their followers of an impending “race war.” Maybe Lisa Graas isn’t the first blogger to make that comparison, and if some other blogger wants to accuse Lisa of “stealing” their material . . . Well, lots of that going around [...]

Candy Crowley, Your Ignorant Toolishness Is On Display

by Smitty Paraphrasing, Crowley: How is it possible that you succeeded on your own merit, when African Americans so disadvantaged and have a high unemployment rate? Cain: I wasn’t expecting the Raaaaacist Inquisition! Crowley: No one expects the Raaaaacist Inquisition! Our number one weapon is division and envy. Two! Two main weapons are division, envy, [...]

Dennis The Constitutional Peasant Lives! UPDATE: Ali Akbar Says ‘Rep. Lewis, Come On Down!’

by Smitty Via email from Warner Todd Huston, who introduces this video: A bunch of child-like protesters in Atlanta, Georgia refused left-wing Congressman John Lewis — a civil rights icon to many — to be allowed to address the crowd this weekend. The whole scene is reminiscent of the worst, hackneyed, new agie-styled preschool program [...]

What She Said, and What I Said

“While the Post tries to impose an old narrative on Perry and squeeze blood from a stone, the reality is that Perry has gone out of his way to pander to left-wing impulses on race. “This is the guy that has disparaged his own base as racist in two separate GOP debates. “Remember? . . [...]

Garofalo: My New Raaaaacedar Can Tell That The Herman Cain Enthusiasm Is Like, Totally KKKamouflage

by Smitty (via The Blaze) There really isn’t a lot to add to the the flogging of this journey into freestyle idiocy. However I should like to introduce the concept of a ‘raaaaacedar’, which is a device that attempts to locate a raaaaacist and point a finger, and manages to have three pointing back. For [...]

The Irony of Tucker Carlson, Sarah Palin, Mike Tyson, Greta Van Susteren and … Me

Scene from “Daily Caller Downfall” “In Ohio, which McGovern eventually lost by a slim 19,000 vote margin, his handlers figure perhaps 10,000 of those were directly attributable to his public association with Warren Beatty, who once told a reporter somewhere that he favored legalizing grass. This was picked up by that worthless a–hole Sen. Henry [...]

HOLY. FREAKING. CRAP.

Just now got in off the road, returning from Ohio where my wife’s parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. On the way — quite literally writing “on the road,” since the trip was seven hours — I composed a long post that I’ll put up later tonight. But that’s going to have to wait a [...]

Did You Know the Word ‘Miscegenation’ Was Invented by Democrats as a Smear?

Nineteenth-century American newspapers were, in general, partisan in their politics, and the New York World was a Democrat paper. In 1863, two writers for the World, George Wakeman and David Goodman Croly, wrote a 72-page pamphlet that was published anonymously with the title, Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the [...]

‘Let’s Face It, the Color of His Skin’

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe explains why you hate Obama: “What is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president? Why do Republicans think that this president is unpresidential and shouldn’t dare to request this kind of thing? . . . It strikes me that [...]
