Bill the Teabagger actually swerved into the truth.

"Government of Eric Holder's people, by Eric Holder's people, and for Eric Holder's people."

Maher is a pus-filled abcess.

There’s their campaign strategy, in one sentence.

Thanks Bill, for showing your hand.

[W]ho thinks there is something wrong with being successful?
Why, liberals do: They think that people are only successful if they exploit the labor of other people, or the resources of 3rd world nations, or the environment, or because they stole stuff from Africa. It’s not a strawman argument at all.

Someone once tried to run over Maher in their car but the tires refused to get any of that on them.

“First of all, who thinks there is something wrong with being successful?”

Lefties, at least for some kinds of success. Maher has a sliver of a point, in that Romney misappropriates the term “success” by limiting it to business success. There are other ways to be successful. But this criticism is akin to going after Romney for ending his sentences in prepositions, or something. People know what he’s talking about; it is “the economy, stupid,” and that is the filter through which their ears hear everything. They know that a big part of Obama’s campaign is about punishing rich people, and Romney is setting himself up as the alternative to that.

“Obama was successful too since he overcame racism to become the first black president”

By the way, you don’t have to go searching for some non-business manner in which Obama’s been successful. He is successful in the exact same manner as Romney. Not to the same extent, but Obama is a millionaire author. Granted, people buy his book largely on the strength of his fame as a politician. But still, he’s made loads. Why do people pretend like Obama isn’t rich?

James T. Harris
Negroes With Fishing Poles
More Stories My Father Told Me

By James Harris CREATED 6:14 AM

"One ni**er, two ni**ers, three ni**ers… Three ni**ers!” That is what the little American of European descent shouted as my father and his two friends emerged from a broken down blue Rambler. Three grown men from central Mississippi called the “N word” by a young boy in central Wisconsin in the early 1960s.

Can’t get more racist than that, right?

I barely remember my father’s "toe-up" hoopty (I do recall how proud he was when he upgraded to a new Buick), but I will never forgot the ugly story my father told me when I was a child about how a fishing trip in beautiful, scenic Wisconsin, almost got him and his friends in serious trouble.

“One ni**er, two ni**ers, three ni**ers… Three ni**ers!” That sounds kind of old-school redneck, doesn’t it? Like the first lines of a Ku Klux Klan nursery rhyme…

My father and all of his Mississippi friends loved to fish. They formed a whole community around fishing. My childhood memories are filled with my father and his Mississippi friends partying, hanging out, playing cards and fishing… always fishing. And if any of them caught a mother load, they shared the load with each other. It was that way with everything. Greens, turnips, onions… whatever they grew, they shared. Whatever they bought, they split. There was a lot of Mississippi in Milwaukee in the 1950s and 60s. They came north for work and brought the culture of the South with them.

In the pre- “I have a Dream” era, however, racism wasn’t a north or south thing. It was an American thing and it wasn’t covert. Racism was overt, obvious and omnipresent. Racist sentiments were natural; almost expected but NEVER welcomed. My father initially had to flee his hometown in Mississippi when he refused to cower at the use of ‘that word.’ All three of these men who were called “ni**er” by that boy were veterans. They’d seen action in the Korean theatre. I’m told war has a way of changing a man. Well, it changed my father. After returning from duty in Korea, some teenager in Louisville, Mississippi, almost lost his life for mistaking my father for a ni**er.

But this was a child, and my father was now older, wiser, and married with children... (Me!)

“One ni**er, two ni**ers, three ni**ers… Three ni**ers!”

My father was the first one to emerge from the car. It was the third passenger to emerge who actually engaged… went after the kid. My father and passenger #2 stopped him, restrained him actually, and said the words that have impacted my life. “It’s not his fault. He’s a child. He had to LEARN it somewhere!” (racism: a learned behavior, a culture, not an institution, not a government program, but a thought… planted in the heart!) ”Well, then let’s go kick his father’s ass!” The three men laughed.

Of course that didn’t happen. My father and his friends went fishing and the boy went home, never really understanding why the third “ni**er” was so angry.

That was 50 years ago. So much has changed…

My father and his friends continued to go fishing until the day they didn’t. Almost all of them have passed on now. My father, one of the last, is now in the last stages of Alzheimer’s. He shares his meals with many men, who decades past, probably planted those very seeds in the hearts of their sons. The irony slaps me on each visit.

I never taught my sons how to fish but I have shared the stories… the community of sharing, caring, and how out of the overflow of the heart… the mouth speaks. I wish I could go fishing with my dad and his friends one more time. I miss their stories.

If I had a son.....he'd think like James T.

How exactly does a racist country elect one that is of the very race they supposedly are biased against...

That seems to defy the very statement itself doesn’t it...

Liberals, bending reality daily...

I can say thy Colbert has made me laugh on many occasions. Jon Stewart is a jerk, but his writers have put together a few funny jokes once or twice. Bill Maher is the lowest of the low, and has never been funny.

The best way to deal to holier-than-thou accusations of being racist from clowns like Maher is to respond in a way even they would understand, Hey, Billy boy, I know your are but what am I? Scratch the surface and under that facade of phony self-righteousness you will find a flaming bigot. I learned this back in my college days. My alma mater wasn’t quite a radical sh*thole like Berkley or Columbia, but we had our share of leftist idiotology. These hypocrites would carry on as if they didn’t have a racist bone in their bodies, pretending to be “down for the struggle”. How I wish I had them under surveillance on a typical Sat night of partying. Once the brewskis were flowing and the doobies passed around, that’s when they would “let it all hang out”. In vino veritas indeed!

I was wondering how long it was going to take for people in the media to start labeling anyone opposed to Obama as Racist. I always knew that if Obama lost in November that the MSM will attribute the loss to rampant Racism. i didn’t realize it would start this early in the campaign. Guess I was wrong. I guess I must be a “Racist”.

Maher said. “I just heard him say this the other day — he said this: ‘If people think that there is something wrong with being successful, vote for the other guy.’ First of all, who thinks there is something wrong with being successful?”


Maher is playing dumb (easy, I know).
The whole anti-1% thing is all about attacking people for being successful, blaming them for the ills of the country, as if success creates failures.

“You’ve got to say this about Mitt, he’s a master politician,” Maher said. “I just heard him say this the other day — he said this: ‘If people think that there is something wrong with being successful, vote for the other guy.’ First of all, who thinks there is something wrong with being successful?”

Well, apparently you do, Billbo, if it put the bug up your azz.

“The other question I would like to ask is does he think he is more successful than Barack Obama? Do you?"

Has Bobo ever created one, just one private-sector job? I don't think he has, Billbo.
