This is about time! Since we all heard about RACISM during the election ad naseaum, wonder how long before FauxBama and his bots start screaming about it? And when is MISOGYNY going to be taken as seriously? by Jesse Washington Inside a burning building, fire doesn't discriminate between Matthew Marcarelli and Gary Tinney. Inside the New Haven Fire Department, however, skin color has put them on opposite sides of a lawsuit that could transform hiring procedures nationwide. This week, the Supreme Court will consider the reverse discrimination claim of Marcarelli and a group of white firefighters. They all passed a promotion exam, but the city threw out the test because no blacks would have been promoted, saying the exam had a "disparate impact" on minorities likely to violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Besides affecting how race can be considered in filling government and perhaps even private jobs, the dispute also addresses broader questions about racial progress: Do mino...

From GOTHAMIST: Here's a cute, bright-eyed kid in Borough Park who probably has no idea that his Purim black face costume might be considered just a tad offensive. Of course, in a post-Drunken Negro Face Cookie world, this kind of tone-deaf Obama homage is no longer so surprising. The reader who emailed us the photo explained that the boy is donning black face to raise money for an unspecified charity, as part of Purim custom. Hence the "DOLLAR'S [sic] not CHANGE!!" sign. ( The reader added that he admired the "poetic" nature of the sign and gave the lad an extra dollar.) We once spent a Clinton-era Purim night driving around costumed tweens collecting money door-to-door, and were always under the impression the kids got to keep the loot, because every time they'd receive a sub par check they'd slam the car door and call the donor a "pig."

Durban II mixes the same old Israel-bashing with new attacks on free speech. One of Colin Powell's best moves as Secretary of State was to pull out of the 2001 United Nations Durban confab against racism once it became an anti-Semitic rant. One of the best moves the new U.S. administration and Europe could make is to stay away from the follow-up meeting altogether. "Durban II," planned for April in Geneva, promises to be an encore of the same old Israel-bashing. The draft declaration says Israel's policy toward the Palestinians amounts to no less than "a new kind of apartheid, a crime against humanity, a form of genocide and a serious threat to international peace and security." We'll spare you the rest of the diatribe. Israel will be the conference's main object of obsession, but it's not the only target. The draft declaration also goes after the West's freedom of speech and antiterror laws under the guise of protecting religion -- read: Isl...

Israel calls it as it TRULY IS!!! HOORAY! Israel says will boycott U.N. forum on racism Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said on Wednesday that Israel had made a final decision not to participate in a U.N. forum on racism and urged other countries to boycott what she termed an "anti-Israel tribunal." The United Nations said it regretted the decision. The World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, to be held in Geneva in April, is a follow-up to a 2001 summit in Durban, South Africa on the same issues. Israel and the United States walked out of the first conference in protest over draft texts branding Israel as a racist and apartheid state -- language that was later dropped. In a speech to visiting U.S. Jewish leaders, Livni said she announced last February that Israel would not participate in the 2009 meeting unless it was clear it would not be used "as a platform for further anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic" activity. She s...

Are you as fed up as I am with the Obama campaign calling the McCain campaign RACIST? Using some of the most misogynistic and vile tactics ( CLICK HERE and HERE - WARNING: ADULT CONTENT) against McCain and Palin? And then, turning around and saying that McCain is RUNNING A DIRTY CAMPAIGN? It's depraved. But since October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month I have a chance to throw out some information and education for everyone. Obama & his Cult are BLATANT NARCISSISTIC ABUSERS . They revise history , twist the truth and then launch hate-filled, sarcastic attacks when anyone calls them on it. These "McCain's a Racist" comments are a little something called PROJECTION. What's Projection? excerpted from "T he Abuse and Misuse of Language " I think it's time for a bipartisan plea for a couple of words to be respected. Some words tend to get thrown around in political (and other) debates with scant regard for how they might actually be us...

ONasty is still lifting his dawg-leg on women. His bots are "in their faces" for standing up to the gang rapes of Hillary and now Sarah. You should see some of nonsense I delete (and will continue to delete) from this blog. (FYI Obamabots - it's my blog, it's my opinion... if you don't like it there are millions of other blogs to choose from so shoo-shoo on back to NoBama's site with your own kind. As a PROGRESSIVE -- yeah, I said PROGRESSIVE -- I want to see PROGRESS. I see ZERO in Obama. I still more of the same lying, race baiting, sexism, hope-nosis, crowd manipulation, mind controlling thuggery that the REPUBLICANS did for the last eight years. Snake Oil is not Progress. John McCain would be PROGRESS. And this is STILL America and I STILL get to make my own choices and STILL form my own opinion.) Obloviate and his minions are the only ones crying RACISM! Hello? The man is only 1/2 Black. If anyone's RACIST it's him & his sheeple. ...

From The Confluence Vote, or Risk Having Your Vote Stolen ! I sincerely believe that Obama for America intends to try to steal the presidential election, just as George W. Bush did in 2000. Obama’s track record proves that he has absolutely zero integrity and an utter disregard for democratic prinicples. That is the primary reason that I do not support him and think that he would be a danger to our country, and perhaps put the final nail in the coffin of our democratic process. People like Bush and Obama want to make voters irrelevant. They care only about the corporate vote, which is cast not with a ballot, but with a greenback. They still need to pretend, however, that the voters actually did make the final decision. Obama can only use his shills in the media to get him close to the finish line. That provides the cover for when the “ground game” comes in and makes sure that the actual vote count is in their favor. Republicans and Democrats have different methods for doing this...

Fair and Balanced, My ***! The Bizarre Reality of Fox News By Joseph Minton Amann and Tom Breuer, Nation Books Since this book skewers two of my least favorite things in the media: FoxNews and (PUKE) Bill O'Reilly and is written by the guys at one of my favorite websites: SWEET JESUS I HATE BILL O'REILLY - I am giving it some space on my blog. The following is an excerpt from Fair and Balanced, My ***!: An Unbridled Look at the Bizarre Reality of Fox News, by Joseph Minton Amann and Tom Breuer (Nation Books, 2007). Well, that's your opinion! Those of us who watch Fox News professionally, or simply to unwind at the end of the day with a few well-earned belly laughs, dismiss the network at our own peril. While there may be a considerable measure of Schadenfreude involved in tuning in to, say, The O'Reilly Factor, it's hard to overlook the fact that he influences millions of people nearly every day. Indeed, watching Fox can be a little like watching Jeopardy! Duri...

IMUS = FIRED, LIMBAUGH = GETS A PASS Don't get me wrong - Imus was never my cup of tea. And I am not sold on Obama for President either. However, fair is fair - how is it that he got canned and yet Pumpkin Head goes on & on with impugnity? From Storm Bear at Daily Kos: This is a head-shaker. Imus gets canned for calling some college women basketball players "nappy-headed hos" and yet Rush Limbaugh plays "Barack The Magic Negro" on his show and he is still on the air? How is that even possible? To hear the song yourself, click here to watch the video It is a parody by Paul Shanklin impersonating Al Sharpton and based on the Peter, Paul, and Mary hit song "Puff, the Magic Dragon". I am really at a loss for words. I heard it for the first time yesterday on the radio and was sickened. Again, how is this man on the air? CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME
