Nyk,
I am talking about specific people. People like tgusa, bit-boy and a few others, whose names I can’t remember are pure racists. I wouldn’t save the life of an evil racist if they were suffering in front of me. They’d just resent and mock my efforts anyway. I’d rather look them in the eyes and let them see that “my kind” watched their last moments and wouldn’t lift a finger to help. I’m not talking about all of the people on this blog, or in this world that I disagree with. Of course that doesn’t stop the phony outrage. I know my views don’t sound very nice, but they are honest. I’ve encountered a lot of evil in my life, and I don’t mind having a hand in having it suffer and then go away. Somebody mentioned aiding Bill Clinton, but I don’t have a “republican” example in mind to watch die. It’s not like that. I’d watch Hal Turner die. I’d watch the leaders of the Westboro Baptist church die. I’d watch terrorists die. I’d watch a known Nazi or Klan member die. I would sit down and drink a beer while watching bit-boy die. That’s just me.
Sorry about the negativity, and it’s nice to see you around.
Anyways, I love music, nyk. My favorites are classic rock, rock, and hip-hop, but I love many different kinds. Right now I’m obsessed with Ani Difranco. I’m a late convert to the religion known as “the Beatles”(I play the White Album all day at work).
Favorites include:
The Rolling Stones(my very favorite)
Beatles
Biggie
Bob Dylan
Tupac
Ani Difranco
Sly and the Family Stone
Outkast
Marvin Gaye
I could go on forever. I hear you’re in a band, and I’m so happy to hear that, and jealous:))
I’m about to hit some DVD’s and tape SNL, but you have a lovely evening. I’ll try to check in later.

MJ,
Again, what in honor’s name happened to you? It shouldn’t matter who it is. The world may be a better place without other people, but it’s not our job to make the determination. I have no idea what ‘your kind’ is, but the scenario you posted would just make more people dislike you. Seeing one of ‘your kind’ help someone who absolutely loathes you may help other people get over their petty predjudice. Unless, of course, you LIKE being hated. For whatever reason.
Okay, just a reminder.
Madelaine “Black Hawk Down” Albright is now on the stump praising Obama.
So, expect more Albright-ish reliance and in and involvement in the petty politics of the UN over guarding the US interests, and more “fixing” and “meddling” and “intervention” in foreign countries for “humanitarian” reasons that have nothing to do with OUR national security issues, with NO game plan and NO exit strategy, but endless quagmire. I hope the military people will see through this and say NO THANKS.
Obama and Albright share the same “21st Century Vision”. Be afraid!

More blood and treasure spent so the One can continue his wealth redistribution program to the third world while continuing to undermine and destroy the US. It’s a twofer.
Music:
I like Handel, Otmar Liebert, U2, UB40, Barry White and Gordon Lightfoot.
We’re planning to take a month off in Jan to go to Buenos Aires to try and learn how to tango.
“Black Liberation Theology” includes
Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam and
certain black churches like “Rev.” Wright’s Trinity UCC.
“Black Liberation Theology” includes both the Nation of Islam and certain black churches like “Rev.” Wright’s Trinity UCC.
“Black Liberation Theology” followers will will riot when Obama doesn’t win. Count on it.
And, given the attitude of people like mistresjustice, don’t be surprised if they actually murder some white people.
Did you catch Obama talking about the “Quiet Riot” that has been going on in this country?
(it’s in the video links I just provided).
Since Malcolm X said:
…and Obama said:
Isn’t Obama already guilty of violating both the Smith Act and section 3 of the 14th Amendment?
I am going to take an evening off and go to a Rev. Wright sermon and learn how to moonwalk.

People like this are so full of sh*t. A pal of mine is a former Navy Seal and he’s seen some sh*t you’d never want to see. Anyone who wants to see anyone die is twisted. We’ll see what she does when the real sh*t happens; she talks pure sh*t.
i.e., severed heads on a pole.
Obama is no MLK!
Check it out!
MJ has admitted to stomping on so called “white racists” with her and her crew.
I’m not a racist at all but people like MJ should be put in a camp. She’s a lawyer and look at the sh*t she posts here. She feels it’s justified? No way. She’s supposed to see things objectively and the twisted crap she writes is far from objective.
“Black Liberation Theology” is, by definition, racist.
“Black Liberation Theology” is, by definition, the antithesis of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.
Each and every one of us, no matter what the color of our skin, should judge other people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
We are all one race.
Has anyone else heard the rumor that Biden is going to step aside as the Dems’ VP candidate in early October (for “health reasons”) so that Obama can put Hillary in? Like I said, it’s a rumor. But an interesting and intriguing one.
You misunderstood me, I was being sarcastic. I don’t think it’s hate speech, I think hate speech is saying that you wouldn’t lift a finger to help someone who was choking if you didn’t like their political views.
And where does that end? Suppose a doctor feels that way, and decides not to run some tests on you because what the heck, you didn’t vote for their candidate? Or a fireman sees your McCain sign and figures, why save you from your burning house? Or the police officer answering a domestic abuse call sees your Palin t-shirt and figures you had it coming?
I don’t think we’re all that far off from seeing this kind of hate, and if you think I’m wrong try putting a McCain sign on your lawn.

OK, I have said this before… If Hillary was the VP, than only the fact that BHO lives keeps her from the Oval Office… yeah right, like he needs that. Not gonna happen.
I see. I misunderstood. It’s really a slap in the face to responders who put their life on the line.
Hey, I appreciate the condescension. Thanks for that.
I have made it my policy to honor what Dr. King dreamed of and “call out” these racists by insisting that “content of character” not color is the standard used. Frankly those who do not are hypocrites.
Interestingly enough, but not surprising, in a venue like this site, whenever I do, the person, I “call out” on an issue involving merit or qualification NEVER responds. They melt away. Just like shining a light on a cockroach.
Ya know, Cuba needs a new leader… BHO should apply for the job. Hey it’s not the big one but it is for life. Michelle could have her workers paradise & spit on the peasants from her balcony. Plus there aren’t many annoying whites there (well outside of Guantanamo, anyway)…
Just think, he could open a retirement community for aging commies… Soros, Pelosi, Kennedy, Wright etc. all finally getting their day in the sun.
brooklyn red,
At first I laughed, but then I thought about the Cuban Missle Crisis. And then I realized that Putin is already bringing back the Cuban Missle Crisis, it’s just that he is using the ruse of it being a “space” program:
The Cuban Missle Crisis included a lot more than just Russian missles…
America went to sleep when the Berlin wall fell in 1989. A mere 10 years later Vladimir Putin rose to power on December 31, 1999. And Vladimir Putin is worse than Nikita Khrushchev.
Did anyone see the CNN special last night with 5 former Secretaries of State?
Henry Kissenger, Madeline Albright, Warren Christopher, James Baker, & Colin Powell
Hosted of course by (far left liberal) Christianne Amanpour & some other CNN guy.
I hope we can see some video of it somewhere later, Colin Powell had a great line in there, it was supposed to be an ‘a’-political event but Madeline Albright got some nasty aside in there about Palin.
There was a segment with audience questions and someone asked about the historic occasion of an african american being on the ballot. One of the Dems took the question first and said something lame about it, then Colin Powell took the question and spoke about his admiration for both candidates and then said “and I’ve not endorsed either candidate and don’t know yet who I’m voting for, I’m looking forward to the debates”. The idiot CNN guy leaned over and said “But, you have to think this is truly historic and be very proud of an African American on the ticket.”
Colin Powell said “I’m immensely proud, but I’m an American first.”
To a huge round of applause from the audience.
It’s refreshing to me that somebody gets it. That makes two in this country. Mr. Putin is a killer, pure and simple. Death turns him on. War is kinky fun. He is absolutely lacking in mercy, conscience, and remorse, what was known in my youth as a psychopath. The old style Communist leadership was enervated, dull, always planning for the next funeral as they doddered off to oblivion. Not this new version. They are determined to avoid the mistakes of the last generation. They are young, energetic, and itching for a fight. It’s national socialism in all but name. And it is just warming up.
Open Thread?
Lesson of the Day: Don’t Be A Fool
beenthere,
…and it appears that Barack Hussein Obama is every bit Vladimir Putin’s puppet as Dmitry Medvedev!
Islamic Jihadists, the Nation of Islam, “Black Liberation Theology” churches, and the Communist Party are all tightly coupled together.
Who Really Runs Obama’s Campaign, and What is Their Agenda?
My last link is not directly related to the current financial situation, but is most certainly indirectly related.
If I am correct, Vladimir Putin and certain Communists in this country had foreknowledge of 9/11, and are actively exacerbating the current financial situation in order to make an even bigger power grab in the US Government.
President Bush, I pray for you to have a spirit of discernment that can see clearly who among your advisors (and members of Congress) is trustworthy, and who is trying to deceive you. Here’s a hint: Don’t trust Paulson, Schumer, Reid, Pelosi! In my opinion it appears that they are all domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States.
Please don’t be deceived.
Not new, but still true…
Don’t Tell Me Words Don’t Matter
Isn’t this agenda exactly what Vladimir Putin would want?
Does everyone understand just how stupid that agenda is?
That is the agenda of someone who wants to weaken America, so that it can no longer defend itself from Russian agression.
Who’s side is Barack Hussein Obama on?
Isn’t it obvious that he’s on Vladimir Putin’s side?
Barack Obama in his own words, written in his book and/or spoken out of his own mouth…
Did you know that during this campaign, Obama openly visited
the Al-Buraq Wall, a Muslim holy site?
Not new, but still true…
Obama without a teleprompter
Do you really think he writes his speeches and wrote his books?
I don’t.
Lots of politicians have speech writers, but they can still speak intelligently without a teleprompter.
And in modern times, if your book has a ghost writer, you’re supposed to give them credit.
There are very evil forces at work in the world right now.
It’s interesting to me how many different very diverse groups think we are living in the “last days”…
In these end times, it is essential that you know the truth. And you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
ITookTheRedPill –
You make 911 truthers look rational.
I have been reading off and on today between working and wonder WHAT would make someone NOT help another based on their political preference? I am an EMT and that has NEVER crossed my mind to base what I do on race or politics or gender….how SAD! I’m just saying!

It is downright evil to watch someone suffer and die, while you have the ability to help them and choose not to.
You ask, “WHAT would make someone NOT help…?”
Honest answer: Satan
I know, it’s a little “extreme” to use that name, but it’s still the truth.
Satan is “the thief”:
Thanks for the open thread, Michelle.
Ms. Malkin and readers, may I recommend for hopeful featurage:

JG: Either I was banned from this blog topic or my browser completly flaked out this weekend and I have 3 post responses to you that I cant see. Sorry I couldnt follow up to you…
As an EMT, I’m sure you have certain legal and ethical obligations. As a common citizen seeing a racist (not in my care) suffering on the streets, I’ll let them suffer. As a common citizen, I would NEVER, under any circumstances help a KNOWN racist, who was suffering and in need of my help. I’d rather laugh at them and watch them twitch in pain. I would hope that they look into my eyes and see that a Black person can match their intense hatred with full follow through.
This isn’t about POLITICS. It’s about bigotry and refusing to help someone who hates my very being, or believes that I belong to some type of subculture based on my ethnicity. It’s not about POLITICS, because I have specifically mentioned racists, terrorists, and hate pimps like the Westboro Baptist church. There are some people I have encounterd on a personal level that I would watch suffer, politics aside.
If I were an EMT like you, I’d do my job. As an attorney, and particularly as a former Public Defender, I have represented a few bigots. I have done my job to the best of my ability, while secretly hating them. I have represented one racist on Death Row. However, if one of these racist, piece of trash clients were to suffer in front of me, free and in public, I’d sit and watch. I can seperate legal obligations from personal animosity.
People want to make this about POLITICS, because they are liars and that theme fits the phony outrage better. People like bit-boy, tgusa and a few others are pure RACISTS. You as an EMT are obligated to help everybody. If I ever had the pleasure to encounter somebody like bit-boy, or the like in my personal life, and they were going through EXTREME suffering I would watch with a smile.
I have witnessed a great deal of evil in my life, including senseless,violent death by gunshots. I’m not afraid, or bothered by death. I do take pleasure in the suffering of people who foster and support the hatred of others like me. That will never change, and I’m not ashamed. I’m honest.
mistressjustice,
You pride yourself on your honesty.
How about taking it up a notch?
You feel that you are justified in taking “pleasure in the suffering of people who foster and support the hatred of others like me”.
That sounds like “an eye for an eye”.
You can do better:
You say, “That will never change, and I’m not ashamed.”
You’re proud of that. And your pride goes before your destruction.
