One video is worth a thousand words:
I mean, if you're not going to celebrate a man who murdered four police officers after hauling a 12 year old girl off the street at gunpoint and raping her (reportedly along with several other girls according to law enforcement), who are you going to celebrate?
The San Francisco Chronicle had part of the story:
Dozens march for Mixon, against police Charles Burress, Chronicle Staff WriterOf course, the Chronicle and most of the rest of the media most definitely don't want to tell you the full story: for example, it's NOT the "Uhuru Movement" who marched in the street praising a cop murdering rapist career dirtbag; it's the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement. Wouldn't want anyone to in any way be able to connect this "movement" (as in 'bowel movement') to Democrats, would we?"OPD you can't hide - we charge you with genocide," chanted the demonstrators as they marched along MacArthur Boulevard, near the intersection with 74th Avenue where Mixon, 26, a fugitive parolee, gunned down two motorcycle officers who had pulled him over in a traffic stop. He killed two more officers who tried to capture him where he was hiding in his sister's apartment nearby.
The protest was organized by the Oakland branch of the Uhuru Movement, whose flyers for the march declared, "Stop Police Terror." Many marchers wore T-shirts featuring Mixon's photo, including a woman identified by march organizers as Mixon's mother. The woman declined to comment and gave her name only as Athena.
Lolo Darnell, one of Mixon's cousins at the demonstration, said, "He needs sympathy too. If he's a criminal, everybody's a criminal."
Asked about police allegations that Mixon was suspected in several rapes, including that of a 12-year-old girl, marcher Mandingo Hayes said, "He wasn't a rapist. I don't believe that."
Bystanders had mixed reactions. Nicole Brown said that she can't condone murder but that police don't respect residents of the area. Daria Belt said she had no sympathy for the protesters but sympathized for Mixon's family.
We also learn that Mixon's cousin, Dolores Darnell, 26, called Mixon "a true hero, a soldier." And DEMOCRATIC Uhuru Movement member Kihad Deen argued, "I don't condone what he did, but it's bringing to light the frustrations between the community and the police. This gives people a chance to speak their minds."
If one person - just one - in that march voted for or in any way supported John McCain, I will eat my underwear. This is a hard-core liberal movement supporting hard-core leftist causes - and the left deserves full "credit" for the DEMOCRATIC Uhuru Movement's "contributions."
The Associated Press ran a story that had the following to say:
OAKLAND, Calif.—Relatives of the man suspected of fatally shooting three Oakland police officers said Sunday the 26-year-old parolee was frustrated about not finding work and feared returning to jail...Mixon was a hero of the common man, a regular Willy Loman character come to life from the pages of Death of a Salesman. Of that story we read:Mixon's uncle, 38-year-old Curtis Mixon of Fremont, said his nephew had become depressed because he could not find work as a convicted felon. His nephew expected authorities to issue an arrest warrant for missing parole meetings, even though the he felt he was not to blame, he said.
"I think his frustration was building up, but he was trying to better himself," Curtis Mixon said.
It is said that [Arthur] Miller is criticizing America and capitalism as a promoter of socialism. It is demonstrated through Willy, the protagonist during the story, who struggles to support his family and even himself. It is the story of a man at the end of his life, who realizes he has wasted his years in pursuit of a goal that is not only unattainable, but was never real to begin with.And of course, to top Willy Loman, Mixon never had a chance - claim liberals - because he was black.
The fact that he was a 26-year old career criminal who spent six years in prison for armed robbery before spending another 9 months for parole violations before being a serial rapist and then four-time cop killer amount to insignificant details - and I of course must be a hardened racist for even bringing them up to begin with.
We find the classic liberal story line: Lovelle Mixon as victim of racist white societal oppression, finally lashing out as a hero and dying in a blaze of glory in a statement against that oppression.
This is nothing new - which is why I tie this right to the Obama camp which buys this brand of bullshit hook, line, and sinker.
Here's another murderous rat bastard openly cherished by the left - and specifically by Obama supporters:
["KRIV-TV image of Texas Obama volunteers with Che Guevara flag. (KRIV-TV Photo) "]
Che Guevera was a hard-core communist murderer of anyone with whom he disagreed - which is apparently all one needs to be iconicized as a hero by the political left these days.
Why would anyone NOT want as President of the United States of America a candidate whose campaign offices honor a man who said:
"The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!" raved Ernesto "Che" Guevara in 1961. "Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies' very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them (the U.S.) alive and fan it to paroxysms!"Why not eulogize with a flag the man who wrote to his father:
I'd like to confess, papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.Why not celebrate the leftist ideologue who proclaimed:
"The solutions to the world's problems lie behind the Iron Curtain," stressed Ernesto “Che" Guevara who often signed his correspondence with the moniker "Stalin II." "If the nuclear missiles had remained we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City," he boasted. "The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims."Why honor Guevara? Because of course "the victory of socialism" IS well worth millions of victims - atomic or otherwise - to the left. Always has been. And it most certainly still is today, even as it is imposed upon America with a swiftness that even the most ardent critics of Obama are finding stunning.
If a John McCain office had been discovered to have a Yugoslavian flag emblazoned with the image of Slobodan Milošević, I have a feeling the media would have interpreted the implications of such a thing far differently than the nonchalant "ho-hum" response accorded to Obama. And of course the same "ho-hum" response was accorded to him as radical after radical was discovered in his intimate circle of support.
The honoring of figures like Lovelle Mixon by the Democratic Uhuru Movement is part of a time-honored tradition of the American left. Many of the same liberal politicians and bureaucrats in office today once publicly celebrated Che Guevara, the Black Panthers, and/or other violent leftist extremist people and groups in their own "day." By way of contrast let me assure you; Timothy McVeigh isn't getting a lot of play in Republican circles. The right doesn't play this incredibly ugly game; the left does.
We don't do this crap. Nor do we provide "useful idiot" support for movements such as communism which is responsible for more than 100 million murders in the 20th century. Instead, the very people who supported murderous people and movements decry George Bush as a war criminal for taking out an Iraqi tyrant who was responsible for more than one million lives in murderous wars that he started, and who filled mass graves with the bodies of more than 400,000 of his own people.
The American people have never faced up to the idols of the left or the implications of what it means when people with such idols assume power.
If you want NO part of America, go to Africa and START YOUR OWN....there is PLENTY of ROOM!
As the father of a bay area law enforcement officer, I continue to be in grief over the outrages, cold blooded murder committed last Saturday against four of the most wonderful police officers. The press was called on the carpet yesterday at their memorial service - and they need to be called out to be purveyors of truth, not proganda at every point. Cities like Oakland will continue to wallow in their own sewage by giving into the 2% of the population that is holding them hostage. Shame on the press, the Oakland City Council and left backed groups like this for commmiting this outrage on all of us.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
I mean, if you're not going to celebrate a man who murdered four police officers after hauling a 12 year old girl off the street at gunpoint and raping her (reportedly along with several other girls according to law enforcement), who are you going to celebrate?
So... there were several other girls who helped this man rape the 12 year-old? Wow, that's even more messed up.
I have a feeling you are sticking a fork in me for not being clear enough in my language - and I’ll fall upon my own fork.
I intended to indicate that Mixon raped several girls (including a 12 year old who had his DNA in her), and apologize for any possible confusion.
This is, of course, why rat poison has to have detailed warning labels to officially and legally state that the product is not for human consumption.
Ray,
I didn’t do enough to express the character of the officers who were murdered. And I appreciate that you noted that.
Police officers are no more “perfect” than any of the rest of us. But - as a former reserve police officer myself - I can attest to the fact that they are doing a hard job, and that society itself hangs in the balance. Anyone who doesn’t want to watch a complete societal breakdown should be supporting the police and the officers and agents who make up departments and agencies across the country.
Brace yourselves, folks. There’s a 2 percenter in the WH.
Your two comments hit the head on the nail.
First off, the “2 percenters” appear to be those who suffer no moral restraints. They will lie, distort, and resort to intimidation tactics and even violence to get their way.
See, for example, the anti-Prop 8 crowd, engaging in harasment and intimidation to target people for the “crime” of contributing to the Prop 8 campaign. Is there an ANTI-anti-Prop 8 campaign to target homosexuals and those who contributed to the “No on 8” campaign? Of course not. One side practices restraint; the other has no restraint.
I just wrote an article on the “card check” issue - and how unions harassed, intimidated, and threatened workers at a Dana Corp plant in Albion, Indiana. Were the pro-union people harassed and intimidated? Of course not.
And now we have a man whose history shows one thing: Marxist activist. And the “2 percenter” view becomes the law of the land.
Second of all, telling African-Americans to return to Africa is disingenuous and gives ammunition to critics who think FR is nothing but a hate site. There are plenty of blacks who love America and its traditions and wouldn't go back to Africa if you paid them a million dollars.
And last, I just want to add that it's discouraging that Rush or Hannity or the RNC didn't issue a statement in support of the police.
Actually Ann, if Brown did make sympathetic statements for the cop-killer, then he is a POS. I guess I need to see the video first before jumping the gun
I wouldn’t call Willie Brown “one of he good ones.” He was a doctrinaire liberal. Among his “contributions” was this:
During the reapportionment of Congressional and legislative districts in 1981, Brown used the occasion to shore up his support among Democrats with a redistricting plan masterminded by his political mentor, Congressman Phillip Burton. The plan gave Democrats a lopsided advantage in California’s congressional delegation and in the Legislature.
Creating incredibly bizarre political landscapes in order to create political advantage doesn’t make one “one of the good ones” in my book. Brown’s political gimmickry created “safe” districts that has itself created an incredible climate of political animosity as the hard core in safe seats of both parties tee off on one another.
But Willie Brown is another issue.
You are, of course, right: there ARE plenty of decent black people. But I doubt very much if Ann was telling THEM to “go to Africa.” Rather, she? was telling supporters of a rapist cop killer to go back to Africa. A rather important distinction.
As for the “go home” thing, I guess I see it both ways. The people who would seize on someone saying “Go back to Africa!” to express their righteous and legitimate outrage over people supporting a rapist and murderer of four police officers to call that person “racist” are every bit as guilty (more, I would argue) as the person saying, “Get the hell out of my country!”
And I don’t know about Rush or the RNC, but Sean Hannity DID issue a clear very pro-police statement on his program when he covered this.
Just saying.
I would also ask you this question:
Given that it was a black group, bearing the name “Democratic,” why is your outrage directed at Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the RNC?
Should blacks and Democrats be the ones saying, “These people sure don’t represent us, and we condemn them?”
In fact, shouldn’t there be a counter-march in Oakland, where not just a few, but tens of thousands, of black people come out to support the police and prove that the Democratic Uhuru Movement doesn’t support them?
Again, just saying.
As a point on YOUR side, Extremely, I did see the video, and Willie Brown condemned the Uhuru movement and said it was 1) counterproductive, and 2) turned people against blacks.
Brown did not deserve any criticism for his remarks on the Mixon issue that I recall hearing.
My “not one of the good ones” statement most certainly does not put him in the league of the FAR,far worse nasties we see on the left every day today.
Nope. He's a politician, therefore a POS.
Second of all, telling African-Americans to return to Africa is disingenuous and gives ammunition to critics who think FR is nothing but a hate site.
I no longer care, and I say that without having any idea what color you are.
There are plenty of blacks who love America and its traditions and wouldn't go back to Africa if you paid them a million dollars.
I'm glad. So what? Their numbers and opinions are inconsequential compared to the vast majority of their fellow blacks. In my experience, the average black person hates Whitey and has no great love for America and its traditions.
And last, I just want to add that it's discouraging that Rush or Hannity or the RNC didn't issue a statement in support of the police.
It doesn't discourage me. I don't expect radio entertainers to weigh in on the hatred of civilization that festers within the black community in our cities today. To do so is to risk the all-important stream of commercial advertising money that pays for their jets, real estate, and Cuban cigars.
There are many African Americans who love the US (and should just start calling themselves Americans, btw), and I agree that the GOP and others should support the police. This was a cold blooded attack, and I can’t understand why black people were praising it (any more than I can understand why they were praising those guys who raped and killed a group of young whites in Witchita a few years ago).
Willie Brown is Bill Clinton with a race change. He was a personality that you either loved or hated, was connected with every wheeler-dealer in the universe, but was also fairly competent and SF did not plunge into a tailspin when he was mayor. SF could have done a whole lot worse than Willie Brown.

LOL - Maybe so. I wasn’t trying to be a dick or anything. Just pointing out that that it parses differently than intended.
But thank you for being gracious about my pointing it out.
