There comes a point where a dog whistle is no longer a dog whistle. This ad from Mark Oxner, a Republican running for the new 27th congressional district in central Florida, portrays our first black president as the captain of a slave ship filled with white child slaves. That's right. A slave ship filled with white slaves. No need to mention that the commercial is filled with lies, it's pretense speaks for itself. The…
From the January 31 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show When you have to interrupt your own diatribe to ask "was there anything racial about that?" then there probably was some racist content in there. What's sad is how often that Rush has to ask that very question on his own show. Juan Williams is a top journalist in his field and has a long and respected career. I don't always agree…
From the January 30 edition of Fox News' The Five... So Eric Bolling is TV Trolling this conversation about a recent study that shows that less educated people tend to be conservatives and manages to derail the conversation by making one very important point: Conservative chicks are hotter than liberals. First, any sane person knows that this is basically subjective but it's Bolling's examples that are sweet. He points out some of what he thinks…
From the January 30 edition of Fox News' America Live... That's right. That finger that Jan Brewer threw in the President's face wasn't racist (although I did point out that it was rude) and President Obama should call out the "Black Mafia" in the media that said it was! Sweet! As a white dude with a blog (media!) being called a part of the "Black Mafia" by an african-american is about the sweetest street cred…
Chris Christie Psycho Talk About Civil Rights This one speaks for itself. The Governor says people would have rather voted on Civil Rights than fight for them in the 60's... But he has forgotten one thing... The people who were demanding their civil rights couldn't vote. You can't vote for your civil rights when you don't have civil rights. This just goes to show that even when one spends months convincing you that he is…
Why not refer to him as "boy," Newt? Mr. Williams uses Gingrich's highest title (Mr. Speaker) to ask the question about Newt referring to the President as "the Foodtstamp President" and Gingrich responds with a snarky "Juan..." Juan Williams had a legitimate question which he asked on Martin Luther King Day and this is the response he got. Both the crowd and Newt showed their disgusting colors. As it turns out, George W. Bush actually…
Most people might think this is a joke but, sadly, it's not. The Tennessee Tea Party is making a push to further edit our history in order to prevent teaching schoolchildren about subjects that the Tea Party feels puts a bad light on America's founding fathers. This means sweeping changes to how slavery at the time of the founding of our country was handled and addressed by those who organized our democracy. The group called for…
Jan Brewer, the Governor of Arizona, met President Obama at the airport as he landed in her state for a visit on January 25th. Governor Brewer describes a meeting with the President in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, in a way that the President disputes. She described him as condescending and he claims that the meeting was cordial. This was apparently brought up on the tarmac and the photo above was snapped by reporters watching the exchange. “The governor…
