I noticed during his speech dissing Scott Brown at Clucky’s support rally he was using the Negro dialect. He’s so clever.

In his book Rules for Radicals, professional pain-in-the-ass Saul Alinsky proposes one of the most cynical, demeaning, and disgusting tactics for using blacks in an effort to help them gain civil rights when he proposes buying "one hundred seats for one of Rochester[, New York]'s symphony concerts. We would select a concert in which the music was relatively quiet. The hundred blacks who would be given tickets would first be treated to a three-hour pre-concert dinner in the community, in which they would be fed nothing but baked beans, and lots of them; the people would go to the symphony hall -- with obvious consequences. Imagine the scene when the action began! ... Here you would have a combination not only of noise but also of odor, what you might call natural stink bombs. ... The law would be completely paralyzed." The reaction of the wives of the important citizens whose cultural event had been disrupted would be to say to their husbands, "John, we are not going to have our symphony season ruined by those people!''

Please tell this is either satire or some joke someone remembers from third grade.

Good read. There’s just something instinctively evil and hypocritical about a group of people who believe that all Republicans are racist, while they (Liberals) countinue to believe that Blacks couldn’t make it on their own...without their help.

The author is way off base on this: "the president's own narcissism and the fact that he agrees with the underlying racist premise that speaking with a "Negro dialect" is negative.

It is NOT a 'racist premise' that 'speaking with a Negro Dialect is negative. That is (sadly) yet another example (as if one is needed) that many in the Conservative movement are in fact deeply liberal, and have drunk the from the mothers milk of liberalism for so long that they don't even know when they are being liberal.

A key concept of Conservatism is that Standards Matter and that Excellence is not purely subjective. We have spent trillions of dollars integrating (by force) every aspect of our society: we have used the Army to integrate high schools in the 1950 and 1960s. We have used painfully racist affirmative action programs to integrate our colleges and places of employment.

We are all taught the same standard American English in our schools. We all have the opportunity to hear it spoken correctly on our television. Anderson Cooper and Brit Hume sound very similar, despite disagreement on many issues. David Gregory, Rachel Madow, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh -- all manage to speak a conventional, grammatical, understandable English (while still tossing in the occasional stylistic slang).

The black assault on the American English is part and parcel of their defective culture. It is of a piece with the rampant criminality, violence, misogyny, racism, celebration of the same, and willful ignorance.

Real conservatives *MUST* speak out against the ignorant, ugly, racist patois that is "ebonics". We are well without our rights to reject it outright, and refuse to condone it. That isn't racism, it is basic cultural conservatism. All cultures are not equal. Baby mamas are not a substitute for wives. Section 8 is not a substitute for paying your own rent. Welfare is not a substitute for a job. And "Negro Dialect", whether deployed strategically and falsely by a lying Ivy League educated mulatto pretending to be a ghetto black, or by the genuine gang-bangin', ho-slappin' pimp daddy real thang is not an acceptable alternative to American English.

This is so basic it is pathetic that a "conservative" commentator has completely missed the point.

If Obama really was saying "ebonics isn't acceptable" that would have to rank as one of the more gutsy and useful things he's done.

Sadly, as evidenced by his own opportunistic use of black-isms he has not rejected it, only taken the easy way out of the Harry Reid problem.

So, Obama is still a lying weasel and race baiting creep. And ebonics is still the classic self-identifcation of ignorance, miseducation, and over identification with failure.

>> Article: “... that they weren’t damaged by the implication that they’re inferior ... because they speak differently from white massas ...”

This is the issue that I have with the comment - not the word ‘Negro’, but the discriminatory characteristic that the candidate does not speak in a particular dialect. In other words, as I interpret Reid’s comment, the candidate is more favorable because the candidate is not dark skinned, and sounds like an English speaking Caucasian.

I don’t believe Reid intended to invoke racism, but his remarks suggest that a percentage of Obama voters are racist as they would not have voted for Obama if he were dark skinned and spoke in ‘Negro dialect’.

Fortunately, all those who did not vote for Obama, according to Reid, are not racists.

After twenty years with his America hating pastor Wright, Obama thinks the pulpit speech style is so effective.

Nope. It's known as the Rochester Symphony Attack strategy.

MUST READ! It's a detailed chronology.

The New Black Panthers and the White House

The more the Obama administration fights the subpoenas from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and denies congressmen’s requests for answers concerning the inexplicable dismissal of the voter-intimidation case in Philadelphia against the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), the more reasonable people wonder what the administration has to hide. And so it is appropriate now to ask: What did the White House know and when did it know it?

--snip--

Because the DOJ by statute is supposed to enforce the commission’s subpoenas, and instead is actively thwarting them, the DOJ is caught in an outrageous conflict of interest that cries out for condemnation.

Why The Great And Growing Backlash? (Victor Davis Hanson On The Scott Brown Win Alert)

It’s the Enemy, Stupid - National-security strength lifts Scott Brown.

A clash of cultures or ideologies?-Wahhabism, founding of America were contemporary events.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

Check out #11, and don't miss the article, "The New Black Panthers and the White House". It will jumpstart your afternoon, and keep you awake tonight.

[Thanks, neverdem.]

Effig Fascists. America is not used to dealing with them We have grown far too "civilized" and noodley. That will change quickly once these "Panthers" swing into action. Holder and Obama are greasing the rails for Florida. Thats where the showdown will be, Black Panthers, SEIU, and 200 thousand Haitian new immigrants with a few Somali/Nigerian/Yemeni jihadists thrown in for fun.

Can we handle them? YEP! ( but we have to wake up first) Crist is about to damn himself to absolute political death.

Reid's comments were insulting to every "Negro" in America,

Every Negro?

Not really.

His comments only "insulted" those blacks that haven't mastered the English language.

The premise that he insulted ALL blacks is(to be kind)the epitome of condescension.

Actually, I'd be more interested to find out what the New Black Panther Party knows that would inoculate them from prosecution?

Good article; good post. Reid is a useful idiot for the divide & conquer meddling marxists, thus a pass for Harry POS Reid. The race-grievance collectivist wing needs to lynch someone not on the team for their teachable moments. The coalition of collectives can always trot out a not-too-delusional comrade to amplify causes for other collectives important in their grandiose scheme.
