Paging Janeane Garofalo! We anxiously await your denunciation of Dan Rather as a racist. If I may say so, it’s rather deserved. In fact, I’d like every idiot who has wrongly accused tea parties of being racist to speak up right about now…

Rather: “When you talk about a triumph though, part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama’s leadership and the Republicans are making a case, a lot of independents will buy this argument, listen he just hasn’t been…look at the health care bill, it was his number one priority, it took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death and a version of …listen, he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate, this was going to be used against him but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”

Left Coast Rebel has more on this story, including video.

After all, Janeane Garofalo is such an expert authority on racist tea parties and conservatives. How will she spin this?

Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (DEMOCRAT) apologized Saturday following reports he had privately described then-candidate Barack Obama during the presidential campaign as a black candidate who could be successful thanks in part to his “light-skinned” appearance and speaking patterns “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reported the remarks in their new book “Game Change,” which was purchased by CNN Saturday at a Washington-area bookstore. The book is slated for official release next Tuesday.

I’ve checked Garofalo’s Twitter page but it looks like she hasn’t updated it since accusing Republicans of racism back in April of last year.

A few days ago, a racist guest on the O’Reilly Factor told Juan Williams, a black man, “to go back to the porch.”

Friday night, Juan Williams guest hosted on the O’Reilly Factor and settled the score. Go Juan!

He also connected the Obama administration to the Rush Limbaugh/NFL controversy.

Bonus: The last two minutes of the video features Tammy Bruce!

Someone needs to loan Janeane a history book.

And maybe some Prozac…

Talking Points Memo, a lefty Obama worshiping blog is suddenly concerned about the political race card. Why? Because the black man they perceive to be playing said card is Republican Chairman Michael Steele.

You see, it’s only racism when Conservatives/Republicans/Libertarians point out the hypocrisy of the left.

While I’m on this thread, let me point out that a genius from the Huffington Post named Matt Osborne penned a piece today which downplays Obama’s propaganda partnership with the NEA.

“Nevertheless, Courrielche argues that since art groups accept grants from the NEA, the NEA is “tainting the creative process by encouraging the art community to address highly controversial political issues.” Which is odd, since there’s nothing controversial about the 9/11 Day of Service — unless, of course, you happen to be a member of the Ayn Rand cult, or you think the day would best be used to inspire hatred and fear of brown people.”

Hatred and fear of “brown people?”

You scumbag. You hateful, fear politicking, scumbag.

You sir, are the racist. You sir, are the one who is trying to inspire fear and hatred based solely on race and purely for the furtherance of a political agenda. It is disgusting and you should be ashamed.

Mr. Osborne mentions in his bio: Matt Osborne has been blogging forever but has yet to see his first check from George Soros. Let me explain that for you Matt… You see the capitalist who owns the Huffington Post is keeping all of the capital for herself.

And by the way, I assume by the “Ayn Rand Cult” remark, that you were referring to Libertarians since you linked the term to Reason Magazine. I find it ironic when Obama supporters talk about “cults.”

They say a picture is worth a thousand Obots words.

Newsflash: You’re a day late and a dollar short.

Those of us who have been falsely accused of racism have known this all along but it is funny to see the AP ponder such a thing on the pages of MSNBC of all places.

One year ago, anyone who stood in Obama’s way was immediately labeled a racist. Now, after months and months of false accusations of racism, the left begins to ponder. Gee. Are we overusing our favorite political weapon?

“Everybody’s racist, it seems.”

“Republican Rep. Joe Wilson? Racist, because he shouted “You lie!” at the first black president. Health care protesters, affirmative action supporters? Racist. And Barack Obama? He’s the “Racist in Chief,” wrote a leader of the recent conservative protest in Washington.”

“But if everybody’s racist, is anyone?”

“The word is being sprayed in all directions, creating a hall of mirrors that is draining the scarlet R of its meaning and its power, turning it into more of a spitball than a stigma.”

This is a bit like warning someone 1,000 times not to touch a hot stove and then watching them touch it anyway after which they turn to you and indignantly announce “Hey, this stove is really hot!”

The Just One Minute blog reminds us of the “Boy Who Cried Wolf” analogy.

I hope the Democrats want to have a frank discussion about the Ku Klux Klan. It’s about time the people of America knew the truth. The truth is that the Democrats OWN the KKK. They invented it, they embraced it and they LIE about it all the time.

Yesterday, Rep. Henry Johnson of Georgia (A Democrat) invoked racist images of KKK members galloping across the American countryside with nooses in hand if SC Rep. Joe (Truth Czar) Wilson (Republican)  wasn’t disciplined on the House floor.

Here’s the video:

What a fucking farce.

The fact of the matter is that the KKK was/is an invention of DEMOCRATS. Period.

A blog called The Real Democrat Party points out the following:

• Democrats fought to expand slavery while Republicans fought to end it.
• Democrats passed those discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws.
• Democrats supported and passed the Missouri Compromise to protect slavery.
• Democrats supported and passed the Kansas Nebraska Act to expand slavery.
• Democrats supported and backed the Dred Scott Decision.
• Democrats opposed educating blacks and murdered teachers.
• Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws.

Furthermore, the National Black Republican Association, an organization many Americans have probably never even heard of thanks to the media, has written extensively about the Democrats and their ties to the origins of the KKK:

“History shows that the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party.  This ugly fact about the Democrat Party is detailed in the book, A Short History of Reconstruction, (Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., 1990) by Dr. Eric Foner, the renown liberal historian who is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University.”

“Dr. Foner in his book explores the history of the origins of Ku Klux Klan and provides a chilling account of the atrocities committed by Democrats against Republicans, black and white.”

So…

Let us have a national conversation about the disgusting aspect of racism in the United States.

Let us have a national conversation about the Ku Klux Klan and its despicable roots.

But let the conversation begin with the Democrat Party, the mother of this American abomination.

Contrary to what you have heard, conservatives embrace freedom for ALL people regardless of their skin color or national origin.

The Democrats gave birth to the KKK. They want to invoke it? Fine. Let’s discuss.

It’s about time they owned it.

I’ve never been a fan of David Frum and I can’t stand “Progressives” but I bet you can guess whose side I’m on in this CNN sponsored freak show where David Sirota tries to label Glenn Beck as a “political terrorist.”

SIDE NOTE to Mr. Sirota: How’s that Bill Ayers thing working out for you guys?

David Frum wins the argument in this video very handily. All he does is correctly point out that BILL CLINTON responded to 9/11 Truthers with three simple words: “HOW DARE YOU!”

Sorry Progressives, you lose. Again.

BONUS QUESTION: How many times can you say “lynch mob” in one minute? Beat David Sirota’s record and you win a free lunch with the only living member of the US Senate who used to belong to the KU KLUX KLAN. Would you believe he’s a DEMOCRAT?!

Color of Change, with the full support of Think Progress, Media Matters and the Huffington Post, is continuing its assault on free speech, demanding that advertisers pull support from the Glenn Beck program.

“Eight more Glenn Beck advertisers, including Wal-Mart – the world’s largest retailer – have confirmed to ColorOfChange.org that they pulled their ads from the controversial Fox News Channel broadcaster’s eponymous show. Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security, CVS, Re-Bath, Travelocity and Wal-Mart join the dozen other companies who previously distanced themselves from Beck.”

“Twenty companies have pulled their ads from Beck’s show in just the last two weeks. The moves come after the Fox News host called President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people” during an appearance on Fox & Friends. Previous companies who pulled their ads include ConAgra, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Men’s Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Roche, SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Sargento, and State Farm Insurance.”

“We are heartened to see so many corporate citizens step up in support of our campaign against Glenn Beck,” said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. “Their action sends a clear a message to Glenn Beck: Broadcasters shouldn’t abuse the privilege they enjoy by spewing dangerous and racially charged hate language over the air. No matter their political affiliation, hate language doesn’t belong in our national dialogue.”

So the same “Progressives” who accused every single Obama opponent of being a racist leading up to the presidential election, suddenly think it’s “hate speech” to call someone a racist if the someone in question is Barack Obama.

Funny, they don’t seem to have a problem with “hate speech” when Progressives mercilessly attack Sarah Palin, her children, Joe the Plumber, Carrie Prejean, the Mormons, FOX News, Kenneth Gladney, Michelle Malkin, Andrew Brietbart, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc., etc., etc.

In fact, this has nothing to do with “hate speech.” This is a Progressive attempt to shut down a popular voice of dissent and they are using political correctness to do it.

This is an assault on the 1st Amendment. This is an assault on free speech.

Progressives hate free speech unless it is their own free speech.

They are trying to send a message to any who dare dissent. Shut up or you will be silenced.

Strong words. Even stronger (and weirder) considering the source.

The writer, Carol Swain, is making a point about the decision of Eric Holder and the Department of Justice decision to “quietly” dismiss the case against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation at the polls last November in Philadelphia. The Washington Times reported:

“The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is expected to approve Friday the sending of a second letter to the Justice Department, asking it to justify its decision in May to drop charges against members of the New Black Panther Party accused of intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place in the November election.”

The HuffPo writer makes the following points:

“Video footage shot in 2008, show Black Panther precinct workers intimidating white voters. This was covered by the news organizations, and resulted in charges being filed by the Bush Department of Justice, whose job it is to defend and protect the voting rights of all Americans.”

“What should have been an open and shut case has become something more troubling, after the Eric Holder-led Justice Department dropped charges against the Black Panthers, who supported President Obama. Currently, this decision to drop the charges, is being challenged by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, (an organization with which I am affiliated).”

“The SPLC has been mum on the issue, despite the fact that in 2000, it included the New Black Panther Party among its annual list of hate groups. In fact, what is most shocking is that the SPLC has spent far more resources hounding conservative organizations, such as the Center for Immigration Studies, and prominent citizens like CNN’s award-winning anchor Lou Dobbs, than it has protecting the civil rights of American voters, which includes white people as well as black.”

The writer goes on to make her final and most damning point using the term “mission creep” which she explains well.

“There is a name for what has happened. It is called “mission creep.” Mission creep occurs when an organization strays beyond its original purpose and engages in actions antithetical to its goals. Rather than monitoring hate groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center has become one.”

I have to add a point to this story specifically about our AG Eric Holder. It is especially curious that such a case would be dismissed by him considering that he called America, the country he serves, “a nation of cowards.”

To Mr. Holder I say speak for yourself, pal.

Finally, I never thought I’d agree with a writer at the HuffPo but I have to admit that for once, I do.

Well done, Ms. Swain.
