On the Friday, May 3, Politics Nation, MSNBC host Al Sharpton fretted over the video that was played at Friday’s NRA convention in Houston to introduce Rick Perry which shows the Texas governor firing at targets with an AR-15. Sharpton began the segment:
Houston, we have a problem. It’s called the NRA. Today, in Houston, the NRA held its annual convention with a whose who list of the far-right pundits and politicians in the country. In fact, the NRA used a tasteless video to introduce Texas Governor Rick Perry, complete with the soundtrack and slow motion effects that showed him shooting an AR-15, the same type of gun used at Newtown.
After a clip of the Perry video, Sharpton responded:
That’s offensive. Glamorizing a weapon of murder. That’s not what Americans want. At a townhall last night in Arizona, a woman who used to work for Gabby Giffords and who was shot in the Tucson massacre praised Republican Senator John McCain for his “yes” vote on background checks.
. In July 1991, a controversy erupted when Leonard Jeffries, a professor at New York’s City College gave a speech blasting “rich Jews” for financing the slave trade and for controlling Hollywood so they could “put together a system of destruction for Black people.”
Sharpton rushed to defend Jeffries, and in the middle of the swirling controversy, declared, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.”
A day after Sharpton made that comment, in August 1991, a Jewish driver accidently ran over a 7-year old black boy named Gavin Cato in Crown Heights, Brooklyn and an anti-Semitic riot broke out in which Jewish rabbinical scholar Yankel Rosenbaum was stabbed to death. Instead of calling for calm,Sharpton incited the rioters, leading marches in the streets that included chants of “No Justice, No Peace!” and “Kill the Jews!” At a funeral for the boy who had been run over, Sharpton said, “The world will tell us he was killed by accident. Yes, it was a social accident. … It’s an accident to allow an apartheid ambulance service in the middle of Crown Heights. … Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights.” For those unfamiliar, “diamond merchants” was a thinly-veiled reference to Jewish jewelers.
After an investigation, no indictment was made of the driver who had accidentally run over Cato, and he left for Israel. Sharpton flew there in an attempt to “hunt down” the driver and hand him a civil law suit. According to the Daily News, at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, a woman spotted Sharpton and shouted, “Go to hell!” Sharpton yelled back: “I am in hell already. I am in Israel.”
How twisted is our society? The media legitimizes this tool, and, tragically, many Black Americans are bamboozled enough to partake of the RAAAAACISM Kool Aid he pushes.
Race Pimping Toure is back, and he has found more RAAAAACISM!! Of course this tool could find RAAAAACISM anywhere, because he figures he can emulate Al Sharpton and Je$$e Jack$on and make a living out of screaming RAAAAACISM!
. . . “The slew of secession petitions out of the south really interests me,” Touré said. “This idea that there are a lot of Southern people who want to have nothing to do with Obama’s America. And I don’t think you can say that there’s any policy that has changed America so much that…”
“Obamacare,” Cupp suggested.
“That has not been enacted yet,” Touré replied. “I think they’re talking about, ‘we don’t want to be in a country run by a black man.’”
The fact is that these petitions came from almost every state, but of course, Toure spins this like just us backwards hicks in the South signed the petitions. The South is, of course, always the favorite punching bag for any Leftist that wants to cry racism, and Toure is just going back to that Well of BS the Left has almost run dry. My only question is where will the Toure Tour of RAAAAACISM go next? Where can he find RAAAAACISM next? It really could be anywhere, but, if Toure REALLY wanted to find genuine bigotry and hatred, he could just look in the mirror, or at almost any MSNBS host.
…then drive to Crazy Town, take a left turn, past Insaneviile, and keep going until you plunge off Wacko Cliff into the bottomless Sea of Racial Obsession Syndrome. Then you will be where Chris Matthews diseased brain is
Oh my legs!
What a ludicrous standard! Matthews, how is it possible to speak to the ‘whole’ country? With ‘whole’ for a quantifier, it only takes one to require another pass. Pass, ‘whole’.
Minutes after Paul Ryan finished his RNC speech on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews slammed the Republican vice presidential candidate for supposedly ignoring blacks during his “very constricted, very negative, very nasty speech,” and suggested that he was directing the address to racists: “It’s clear that Paul Ryan was talking to people who think about rights as something…produced by Thomas Jefferson, ignoring the people for whom the rights only came in the 1960s.”
Wow! This guy is redefining unhinged on a daily basis. I expect that soon we will see Matthews, in a straighjacket doing his show from a dark cellar and chanting that Chicago is a RAAAAACIST word!
Matthews then demonstrates his mind-numbing ability to take an idiotic statement, amplify it, and subsequently make it exponentially more idiotic coming from his mouth, when he said this:
“Yea, well let me ask you about that gentleman. What about now, is this constant barrage of assaults, saying the guy is basically playing an old game of demagoguery politics, where you take the money from the worker bees and give it to the poor people to buy votes. That’s basically what they’re charging him with. Old big-style, big-city machine of 50 years ago.”
He added, “They keep saying Chicago by the way, have you noticed? They keep saying Chicago. That’s another thing that sends that message – this guy’s helping the poor people in the bad neighborhoods, screwing us in the ‘burbs.”
Hielemann helpfully interpreted Matthews statement, presumably for those too challenged to understand basic words (or as we in the business refer to them – Hardball viewers), by making this jaw-dropping statement:
“There’s a lot of black people in Chicago.”
Maybe MSNBS can replace Matthews, and any guests with Eric Cartman of South Park
Good Gief! And I might remind Matthews that it is HIS network that refused to carry many speeches by Black Republicans like Mia Love.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.
All of this begs the question. Was Chris Matthews crazy before his legs had their first Obamagasm? Or did all those Obamagasms make him nuttier than a truckload of fruitcakes?
MSNBC “PoliticsNation” host Al Sharpon was the latest of MSNBC’s on-air talent to express displeasure, or put a positive spin, on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s win in Wisconsin Tuesday night, blaming “voter-suppression schemes” for the Democrats’ loss.
“This Wisconsin recall election, I think I did my commentary from the Washington, D.C. office this morning,” Sharpton said. “It really is a wake-up call, because despite that fact that clearly money was one of the main factors, it’s not going anywhere by November. If anything, I think that it has emboldened the right wing, it has emboldened these billionaires. There was all kinds of voter-suppression schemes from ID [cards required to vote], to not letting students vote and registration.”
Sharpton told his audience that this is a sign of things to come for this fall’s general election and encouraged his listeners to “double-down and get ready to fight.”
“It almost was a test run on what they’re going to do in November,” he continued. “The question is what are we going to do about it? We can either act like it means nothing and it’s like in a fight — you got your head hit and you’re groggy and you’re going to be in denial — or you’re going to admit that somebody hit you hard, clear your head and let’s double-down and get ready to fight.”
Good Freaking Grief, these parasites are so predictable.
(CNSNews.com) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says “there’s no doubt” that union members were among those who voted to keep him in office in Tuesday’s recall election.
The network exit poll for the special election showed that Walker won the votes of 38 percent of voters who said they were a union member or lived in a household with a union member.
“I’m talking to workers here this morning, talked to a lot of manufacturers across the state over the last year and a half, but particularly the last months in this campaign, and I find that at plant after plant, there are construction workers and others in manufacturing who appreciate the fact that we turned our state around. And I think they wanted more of that in the future,” Walker told Fox & Friends Wednesday morning. “They wanted us to go forward.”
The exit poll showing that Walker got 38 percent of the vote from people living in union households was conducted by Edison Research for ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, Fox News and the Associated Press.
Walker said he’s heard voters complain for years that when politicians get into office, they’re not willing to take on the tough challenges.
On Wednesday’s The Ed Show, MSNBC host Ed Schultz took a lecturing and even mocking tone toward labor union members who voted for Governor Scott Walker in Tuesday’s recall election in Wisconsin as he recounted NBC News exit poll numbers showing that a significant chunk of union voters supported the Wisconsin Republican.
The MSNBC host ended up invoking President Obama’s assertion from the 2008 campaign that people in rural areas vote for Republicans because of a tendency to “cling” to guns and religion, and suggested that Obama was correct in his diagnosis of what he viewed as a problem that some union members in rural areas vote for Republicans instead of sticking with the union line.
Hey Ed, pull your head out of the union bosses asses and hear this. This was not a union election Ed! People actually had a right to vote their conscience!
I wrote briefly about Meghan McCain whining about people being “mean to her” last night but, I took it easy on Meghan, who I think is likely a sweet girl who is very naive. My take is simple, Meghan is being used by the media types who let her hang around because she is “their type of Republican”. In short, Meghan says what the Left WANTS a “Republican” to say about other Republicans, so they tolerate her. Stacy McCain, on the other hand takes his “cousin” to the woodshed
Let’s start here: In what sense, Cousin, are you a Republican?
Because I’m trying to think of any recent occasion in which you have actually done anything to help the Republican Party.
Nothing immediately comes to mind.
Instead, you go on TV (and write columns of insipid nonsense for Tina Brown) denouncing Republicans and conservatives as extremists.
Michelle Malkin — extreme!
Andrew Breitbart — extreme!
In fact, I think your resentment toward them is not a matter of issues or ideology, but simply the fact that the “extremists” you denounce are actually more popular than you.
You seem to be under the delusion that you are entitled to demand respect from the honest people you insult, simply because your family is rich and your father is a senator. You are a stereotype of the spoiled little rich girl who can’t understand why people don’t automatically kowtow to her whims.
Your selfishness is the root of your problems, and if you had any valuable skill or talent, I’d say you were impairing your usefulness by your ill-considered antics. As it is, you’re just another obnoxious D-List celebrity bimbo, and they’re a dime a dozen.
I must say, the envy angle is likely right on target. All of us deal with envy, some bloggers, OK LOTS of bloggers are more popular than me. Of course there are many more that are not as popular than me, so I guess that evens out. The fact is that sometimes I scratch my head as to why some of the bigger bloggers are more popular than me. Some I understand, some not so much. But, Meghan, you are on TV, OK you are on MSNBS, the public access network of the mainstream media, but I digress, even though you have nothing substantive to offer. So, really, you have no reason to be jealous of Michelle Malkin, or of Breitbart or their popularity. Grow up Meghan!
Meghan, you are a naive child. You are nothing but a useful idiot to the vultures at MSNBS. You are “their kind of Republican” Meghan. And you will be, as long as you keep saying what they WANT you to say! So, Meghan, grow up and stop whining. If you cannot take criticism, stop commenting on issues. By the way Meghan, I did not think, in this instance you deserved the level of criticism you received, but that is life Meghan.
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) on Tuesday will convene a meeting of her Commission on Black Men and Boys in Washington to discuss “Lessons from the Life and Death of Trayvon Martin.”
The commission, which Norton founded several years ago, will hear from four witnesses and attempt to pull together lessons from Martin’s February shooting, which has prompted a wave of criticism that his shooter, George Zimmerman, has yet to be arrested. Authorities in Florida say Zimmerman claimed Martin’s death was an act of self-defense.
“I commend our community for the almost spontaneous rallies for justice for Trayvon Martin,” Holmes Norton said last week. “The national outpouring is clearly having an effect and will continue until an official law enforcement setting allows for justice for Trayvon in accordance with due process under the law for all concerned.
“However, this African-American boy has become both a personal tragedy and a larger than life symbol for the black families that, over the decades and centuries, have lost men and sons without accountability from those responsible,” she added. “Trayvon’s life, and certainly his death, demands not only a careful review of what happened in Sanford, Florida, but also of what we should do tomorrow in America about violence against African-American men and boys.”
OK, let us be frank here, let us be as brutally honest as possible. Over 90% of murders of Blacks are committed by OTHER Blacks. Why in the Hell is the CBC not all over that? Maybe because they cannot win elections by actually helping better the state of Black Americans? There are many legitimate problems facing Black Americans, that high murder rate, an obscene out-of-wedlock birthrate, gangs, crime, and yes, another major problem plaguing the Black “community” is groups like the CBC, the NAACP, and individuals like Je$$e Jack$on, Al Sharpton, Cornell West, Michael Eric Dyson, and Tavis Smiley, among others.
These groups, and individuals I just named are NOT about anything but weighing Black Americans down with anger, bitterness, and of course, an eternal sense of victimhood. Anything for a vote or a donation! Race baiting is a BIG business, built on the souls of Black Americans by Leftist leeches like Eleanor Holmes Norton. Of all the things that would benefit Black Americans, rejecting the divisive rhetoric of the race baiters is near the top if the list.
I hear lots of talk about “empowerment”, and “justice”. If Black Americans truly desire these things, and I know they do, then they should tell the Sharptons, Jacksons, and the rest to pound sand!
And yes, I know I will be accused of “RAAAAACISM” for this post, and I wear that as a badge of honor. Because one of the greatest truths of life is this. When the Left starts calling you names, you know you are right!
Alternate title, Does the Left Want a Race War? I hate to ask this question, I really do. But,I think it might need asking. The Left has used racially charged language for a long time. And they have used it for political gain. They divide people into groups, preach to those groups that they are victims, and that ONLY Liberals can help them to “over come”. It has always been a despicable tactic, but, it seems that it has now sunk to new levels of despicability. The Left fears losing their power in November, so the racialist rhetoric has been ramped up. That type of divisive tactic is really their only hope I suppose.They cannot run on their accomplishments,they cannot point out positive steps they have taken. All they can do is to attempt to divide Americans more and more.
But, what price are they willing to make us pay to hold their power? Are they willing to start a race war? I seriously doubt that. But,they are definitely willing to enflame racial tensions to the very edge aren’t they? Listening to and reading the rhetoric the Left spews constantly, I do not see how you could reach any other conclusion. The Trayvon Martin case is a perfect example. No one knows, except for George Zimmerman exactly what happened the night Martin was shot and killed. But that has certainly not stopped the Left, or even slowed them down has it? They smell political blood, they are desperate,and apparently they do not give a damn if they incite increasing racial tensions. And, sadly,they seem willing to see some real blood spilled if that allows them to hold on to their power.
No, I am not saying that the sick tactics of racial/gender/class/religious division the Left uses is a deliberate attempt to fuel riots, or violent attacks, although it does seem that it is those on the Left that engage in violent or intimidating behavior. What I am saying is that you cannot continuously engender hatred in some groups for those of other groups without eventually, well,you get the idea.
Martin died in late February. Why did it take nearly a month for the for the “outrage” and media saturation to start?Did the media sit on this until they thought it would help Obama as much as possible?
If George Zimmerman is tried, how fair will his trial be? How much political pressure will there be for a guilty verdict? Might a DA be persuaded to pursue a trial even if there is a lack of evidence?
If Zimmerman is tried and found not guilty, what then? Riots?
Will the Left ever admit that they are wrong if Zimmerman is found to have acted in a justifiable manner, or if he is acquitted? Or will the Left ramp up the racial rhetoric? Yeah, I know silly question there. The Left NEVER ever admits they are wrong.
Will President Obama ever stand up and chastise the likes of Je$$e Jackson and Al Sharpton? Will he ever take a firm stand against the vigilanteism being pushed by the New Black Panthers?
Will those who are trying to lynch Zimmerman’s reputation ever apologize if he is proven innocent?
Is this a test drive for more manufactured racial tension and “outrage” as the election nears?
How many people right now, still think George Zimmerman is White? He isn’t, but much of the rhetoric from the Left is being worded to make us think he is.
Will the media ever make clear that Zimmerman is much smaller than Martin? That matters doesn’t it?
Finally, will someone pay the price for all the despicable hate speech, and racial bomb throwing the Left is doing? What if someone tries to “arrest” Zimmerman? Will someone become a needless victim, of retaliation, or “justice” because they are White?
Hell on Earth posts a great examination of the truth about violent crimes
As a public service, and because I am able to speak LiberaleseI will give the typical Liberal response towhat Billy Bob posts
Billy Bob:
On my way home this afternoon I was listening to Sean Hannity. He played some clips from various news organizations, all being critical of the “stand your ground” law. And then he played a clip from some clown from the black panthers. While the first two clips pissed me off, the last one was just over the top idiocy. It seems the black panthers are trying to put together a $1 Millon dollar reward for the capture of Zimmerman. The black panther clown went on to rail against white people and how the white man has it in for black people and on and on about the violence.
Ok, wait a minute. Let’s just think about this for a half a second. In 2005, there were more than 645,000 victims of cross-racial violent crimes between blacks and whites in the U.S. In 90% of those crimes, black offenders attacked white victim.
Typical Liberal:
THAT IS SOOOOOOO RAAAAACIST
Billy Bob:
If Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton want to raise hell about something, why don’t they attack the black community for it’s own violence. Over the St. Patrick’s day weekend, black on black violence, in Chicago alone, killed or injured 50 people.
The alarming statistics about violence among African-American boys and men is so oft-cited that they have become clichés: for example, “black men are the leading cause of death among young blacks [male and female]”; “1 in 146 black males are at risk of violent death”; and though comprising only 13 percent of the U.S. population, 43 percent of all murder victims are black, compounded by the fact that 93 percent of them are killed by other blacks.
Did you read that? 93% of murdered Blacks are killed by other Blacks. 93%. For the Black Panthers to claim that there is some kind of war against black men going on in this Country, they may have a point. But it isn’t at the hands of white men, or as in the Martin/Zimmerman case, Hispanic men.
Maybe if Jackson and Sharpton and the Black Panthers and Obama and all the race baiting fools in this Country focused their attention and anger on addressing the real problems facing black people instead of the White boogie man, something would get done.
Typical Liberal response:
RAAAAACIST!
Lots more at Hell on Earth, go read it. You RAAAAACIST CRACKER! By the way, someone tell the buffoon below that Zimmerman is Hispanic and has friends of all races, and volunteers time to help minorities. Of course, none of that fits the Leftist script
Another idiot who buys the race pimping by the Left!
If the video does not load click the link at the bottom of the post
Via Breitbart. The ugly face of racism is a foul thing, and the Left is far more guilty of this abhorrent behavior than the Right. Sharpton is nothing but a race pimp, yet the media fawns over him as if he is some sort of hero.H/T Weasel Zippers
Reaction to the Jan Brewer encounter is still bubbling, with some black commentators now suggesting the image of the Arizona governor wagging her finger at the President of the United States has touched a nerve in the African-American community.
A nerve? No, not a nerve? My God what shall we ever do? How about we engage in some extreme race pimping? You know that MSNBS would go here didn’t you?
On MSNBC Thursday, Al Sharpton posited that Brewer’s treatment of President Obama was another example of disrespect in a list of many for the nation’s first black president. His guest, Sirius XM host Joe Madison, said such incidents show that there are people “who cannot stand the fact that this is an African-American who is now one of the most powerful individuals on the planet,” Mediaite reported.
Excuse me for a moment while I bang my head against my desk in frustration.
OK, that is better, now, let us turn to the kings of race pimping to hear their take
An NAACP official went a few steps further in an interview with POLITICO Friday, saying the tiff played on age-old and discriminatory stereotypes of whites being superior to blacks. Hilary O. Shelton, senior vice president for advocacy and policy at the NAACP, said he was particularly disturbed by Brewer telling reporters afterward that she “felt a bit threatened if you will, in the attitude that he had.”
Good Freaking grief~! Who believes this crap? seriously, who listens to unadulterated BS like that and buys into it? Someone must, because the NAACP keeps going back to the Well of Racial Division don’t they? It is sad, no tragic, that some people have allowed themselves to be led, by the Left by the nose onto the plantation of Eternal Victimhood. Those are the sad sacks who buy this crap. They actually prefer to feel victimized than to feel happy, and fortunate to live in the most tolerant nation on earth. Why is this? It is what I call EternalVictim Syndrome. It is as if these folks cannot accept the good, no GREAT news that racism, and sexism, are basically dead in this nation. They cannot see that at all. It is as if they have a secretly held desire to be a victim.
Of course, I suppose that these folks might be happy to have their own network right? MSNBS to the Pity Party! That network can always be counted on to make asses of themselves to keep the Eternal Victims, well, feeling victimized~!
Jim Clyburn of South Carolina attacks Mitt Romney in the most deplorable fashion. I have issues with Mitt Romney, and certainly would prefer someone else as the GOP nominee, but Romney is a good man, and does not deserve such attacks. What a bottom feeder Clyburn is! H/T Gateway Pundit
When you can’t run on your failed policies this is what you resort to.
Democratic House Leader Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) told Al Sharpton yesterday that Mitt Romney is reminescent of the racists who kept Rosa Parks in the back of the bus.
Of course, Clyburn has nothing to back up this awful smear but it doesn’t matter. He’s a democrat. Via Breitbart TV:
If a picture is worth 1,00 words, how much is this video worth?Sharpton claims not to want government censorship. No, he merely wants anything that might be perceived as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. to be censored. In other words he wants the FCC to ban speech the Left does not approve of.
Good grief, Lee talks of “diversity” But, as as generally true with Leftists, there is no diversity of thought, or ideals in their party. In other words, there is no meaningful diversity, none at all. And Al Sharpton, is brought in to comment? The biggest race hustler this side of Jesse Jackson has zero credibility, on anything, least of all, in matters of race!
