Exactly 180 degrees out of phase, as usual.

from the piece:
“frightened and ignorant minority, can not accept Barack Obama as president.”

I'll be as blunt as I can be to this author. I am not frightened, nor am I ignorant, but I can and will take the writer and this impostor of an American and President downtown. This is the kind of utterance that the author and the president (small cap intentional) can muster up and is to be expected. No intellect, only empty suits.
If they want a war, they've got one and will get their asses kicked, big time.

It’s hard to be a pimp. What with importing child prostitutes from Central America and then having to pay for their upkeep; they don’t ALWAYS pay their own way. A pimp’s gotta be able to get a deduct now and then even if you aren’t paying your fair share of taxes...

Like I said before, on another thread, Mike Stone looks like a pedophile.

This guy looks like a nasty little liberal loser who lives in his mother’s basement, eating cold pizza, and who hasn’t had a date with a “real” girl since his junior year of high school.

ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States.

Sounds like a RICO case to me.

Portland Progressive Examiner

Racism on the Fox News cable network program “Fox and Friends” is becoming a problem. Perhaps the election of a black President is responsible; perhaps it is nothing new, only newly exposed. Whatever the case, the problem remains. There are two recent examples of on air overt racism.

The most recent episode is Glenn Beck on “Fox and Friends” going on a rant, calling President Obama a racist, and claiming the President hates white people and white culture. Granted, there is nothing surprising about Beck going on an emotional, incoherent rant. What is surprising is the on-air overt racism.

Earlier this month, controversy arose when “Fox and Friends” Brian Kilmeade and his co-hosts were discussing a Swedish and Finnish study which found that married people were less susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease than unmarried ones. Kilmeade indicated the study did not apply to America, saying “we [Americans] keep marrying other species and other ethnicities . . . Swedes have pure genes . . . in America we marry everybody...”. Kilmeade’s assumption is simple and bald white supremacy, an assumption that white Europeans have pure or superior genes, and everything that follows from that assumption.

Kilmeade’s remarks were clearly inappropriate, and racist. In response, UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc., a “multicultural coalition of national journalism organizations with an outreach to over 10,000 supporters,” issued a petition calling on Fox News and its parent company, News Corp. to take steps to remedy the situation. Kilmeade was forced to issue an on-air apology.

The remarks and assumptions of Beck and Kilmeade are of no surprise to many. The remarks simply reflect what FOX so often projects. The episodes simply hi-light the larger, cultural assumptions and values transmitted by FOX news: a pro Palin, anti-Obama world; a world where guns and Jesus go hand in hand; a world with an implicit white supremacist agenda infused with a Christian nationalism. It is America at its worst, a place where bullies and cowards hide, a place where lunatics find refuge in conspiracy theories of hate, a place where racism is openly expressed.

FOX news is faux news, and it is ugly.

To: Always Right

About ten years ago, a locally-owned television station went after the blatant corruption in ACORN’s affiliate in Indianapolis, The Community Action Coalition, related to it’s fund-raising activities.

Julia Carson, (Then Congresswoman and mother of TODAY’s Congressman, Andre Carson) threatened thier licencse before the FCC, and started trouble for the zoning of their transmission tower with the Zoning Board.

These people are criminals and thieves, but they are VERY WELL PROTECTED criminals and thieves.

MY PREDICTION:
No one in ACORN will see a day in court over this, but the film-makers will face harrassment and lawsuits.

No BWI prosecutor in his right mind is going to go against ACORN, and expect to have a political carreer. And you can FORGET the Feds, they aren’t going to touch it, on orders of the Emperor...
