The Riot Ideology

Yesterday, I mentioned Fred Siegel’s The Future Once Happened Here in connection with the Trayvon Martin case. Siegel’s book is one of those timeless classics — like Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed — that I frequently recommend as guides to understanding important social phenomena more deeply.

Right-Winger Provoking ‘Insane’ ‘Racist’ Tea Party Violence … by Chris Rock?

“When Celebrities Attack,” starring Jason Mattera: Ed Morrissey has a point: Even if you think “ambush” interviews are unfair, shouldn’t it be obvious that attacking the camera is a bad idea? Welcome to the Bob Etheridge School of Media Relations!  

Busted: Why Is LGF’s Charles Johnson Now Embracing Louis Farrakhan?

When Charles Johnson went wacko and began purging commenters at his Little Green Footballs blog, he purged some of the most clever “Lizards” whose participation had once made LGF a must-read for many. Among the purged were those who formed Diary of Daedalus and The Blogmocracy, which today join forces to expose how CJ’s pro-Obama turn […]

Explosive: Obama’s Mentor Derrick Bell on ‘Jewish Neoconservative Racists’

John Podhoretz at Commentary on the controversy unleashed by the Breitbart.com video: Michael Powell of the New York Times reflected conventional opinion in liberal media circles when he tweeted: “Derrick Bell, Radical?

Busted by Twitchy: @Soledad_OBrien Loves Her Some ‘Critical Race Theory’

Hey, remember when CNN’s Soledad O’Brien melted down on TV and tried to depict Joel Pollak as a racist? Wasn’t that awesome? Well, here’s some more awesomeness: Much like Barack Obama, Soledad O’Brien is a huge fan of Professor Derrick Bell, the “critical race theory” guy the Breitbart.com video was all about. The Internet doesn’t forget, and […]

Affirmative Action Is Raaaaacism

by Smitty That’s a drum we cannot over-flog: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters favor applying affirmative action policies to college admissions. Putting government in charge of raaaaacism management, in the form of Affirmative Action, or some other falsehood, just distorts the economy and destroys civic […]

The SNL Lin-sanity Sketch

by Smitty Ace was on about the Asian-American Journalists Association taking themselves way too seriously. Commenter #9, rockmom, pointed out that SNL had doen this. The idea that you just treat people respectfully, apologize when confusion arises, and graciously forgive those who step on your toes a bit just seems lost. I guess that was […]

An Idiot Obsessed With Commenters

What can we say about Charles Johnson’s increasingly desperate efforts to simulate relevance? We will now examine (a) what happened, (b) what Charles Johnson wants us to believe happened, and (c) what the discrepancy between (a) and (b) tells us about Charles Johnson’s pathetic idiocy. OK, what happened: Fox News posted a story on its Web […]
