Here’s your Race Hustler of the Week. Grievance-mongering bean-counter John Conyers can’t help himself.
Via The Hill, h/t BlogProf:
Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) has called on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to demote the official coordinating Haiti relief efforts for not having enough minority staffers.
The House Judiciary Committee Chairman sent a letter to Clinton [...]

On MLK Day last month, the Denver Public Schools served Southern-style fried chicken, biscuits, and collard greens for lunch.
Despite the fact that MLK was actually from the South and actually liked those foods, the racial grievance crowd raised hell and complained that the menu was RAAAAACIST — prompting an apology from the school system.
Now, we [...]

Let’s see. Corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder gave the New Black Panther Party thugs a pass. And he gave pay-for-play corruptocrat Bill Richardson a pass.
Who’s the lucky winner today?
Democrat Rep. Alan “Cheat River” Mollohan of West Virginia.
You may recall that he was forced to step down from the House Ethics Committee four years [...]

As if California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina’s massive bailout-supporting economic advice for John McCain wasn’t bad enough (reminder from yesterday’s column: “In California, McCain’s PAC supports former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – a celebrity name with deep pockets of her own, massive media exposure, and a checkered business record. Fiorina served as the economic [...]

In October, I gave you a closer look at Altgeld Gardens — a long-troubled public housing complex on Chicago’s South Side where youth violence has proven immune to “community organizing” solutions and the grand redevelopment schemes hatched by Mayor Richard Daley and slumlord/Obama crony Valerie Jarrett.
In this month’s City Journal, Heather Mac Donald shines light [...]

It’s the festering scandal the dinosaur media doesn’t want to touch.
But conservative media continue to cover it – and principled advocates for transparency, election integrity, and rule of law continue to shine light on the DO(I)J corruptocracy.
The latest on stonewalling via Jennifer Rubin at Commentary’s Contentions blog:
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights last month propounded [...]

I noted Barney Frank’s cave-in to CBC demands for a $6 billion payoff on the House Dems’ financial industry power grab yesterday.
Well, the “reform” package passed this afternoon 223-202 with all Republicans and 27 Democrats voting no.
The roll call vote is here.
Democrat Rep. Barney Frank’s counterpart in the Senate, corruptocrat Sen. Chris Dodd, is shepherding [...]

Cue up “Do the Hustle.” Looks like the extortionists of the Congressional Black Caucus got their way.
Last week, I noted the CBC’s efforts to squeeze bailout money from the Democrats’ financial “reform” package for minority-owned businesses — specifically, the failing radio/media empire of former Malcolm X lawyer and Air America/Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Charlie Rangel crony Percy [...]

Percy Sutton and Malcolm X, 1963.
Well, well, well.
The Congressional Black Caucus is trying to shake down the White House — and taxpayers — by holding a Democrat financial regulation “reform” bill hostage until Team Obama stuffs it with taxpayer goodies for a minority-owned radio station and other minority-owned businesses.
The story is here and here. [...]

NYC Councilman Charlie Barron pulls a Kanye West.

Ah, the wit and wisdom of Joy Behar.
She has called homeschooled children “demented.”
She has called me a “selfish bitch.”
She has called Sarah Palin “dumb” and “not coherent.”
Last week, the genius View co-host seriously suggested that “Black Friday” is RAAAACIST.
It was left to economics professor Whoopi Goldberg to explain what “in the black” means.
You can [...]

This is how they roll in Barack and Michelle Obama’s Chicago. The 26-year-old son of Nation of Islam chieftain Louis Farrakhan gets a $63,000 government job as a “business manager” in C(r)ook County after the Nation of Islam-endorsed C(r)ook County Board president, Todd Stroger, wins his seat.
The local Fox affiliate pressed Stroger on the patronage [...]

The Left will do anything to smear the US Chamber of Commerce, a leading foe of the Democrats’ government health care takeover and the radical cap-and-tax plan.
You’ll recall that Reuters got punked by an attack parody of the Chamber a few weeks ago. Now, the Huffington Post is stirring up grievance-mongering by the AFL-CIO, which [...]

Corrupt-o-twin powers, activate! L: Rep. Maxine Waters; R: Rep. Laura Richardson
Readers of this blog are quite familiar with the corruption scandals involving California Democrats Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson.
Back in March 2009, I spotlighted Waters, her husband, and their smelly involvement with minority-owned bank called OneUnited.
And dating back to May 2008 through July 2009, [...]

Alfonzo Rachel and friends rap the Left’s victicrats from South Central to the White House:

Just imagine the coyote howls of “RAAAAAAACISM” that would be resounding right now if this gaffe had occurred on Fox News instead of “Real News” Network MSNBC. Where are the demands for a “diversity council” to ensure that such “insensitivity” does not occur again?
Priceless moments:
1) When Jesse Jackson’s eyes bulge out so far [...]

And the hoax crimes just keep on piling up.
The latest recanting took place in West Virginia:
Seven people pleaded guilty for their part in abusing Megan Williams — but now Williams says that abuse never happened.
She will hold a press conference Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio, to recant her claims of abuse, attorney Byron L. Potts, who [...]

Here is Al Sharpton fuming over Rush Limbaugh calling him out on his poisonous career of racial demagoguery:
“He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes,” Sharpton said.
Yes, Al Sharpton, perpetrator of the Tawana Brawley racial hoax crime, is braying about false criminal allegations. The charlatan knows no shame.
Sharpton says he’s going [...]

Can Charlie Rangel please stop committing new ethics and financial transgressions so the House Ethics panel can finish all the old investigations first?!
Word is just breaking on the Hill that the House ethics committee has once again expanded its probe into his corruptocracy:
A House committee voted unanimously Thursday to expand its investigation into New York’s [...]

The Congressional Black Caucus loyalty oath:
I pledge allegiance, to racial identity politics, no matter how much my corruptocrat colleague of color stinks to high heaven.
The Hill: Congressional Black Caucus comes out strong for Rangel.

Birds of a feather.

GOP Rep. John Carter is not letting this go.
Keep the heat on the Democrat Culture of Corruption:
New Rangel Financial Violations Demand Removal from Ways and Means Chairmanship
(WASHINGTON, DC) – A month after House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) admitted failure to report nearly a million dollars in assets on federal disclosure forms, the [...]

Right on cue…

I am sure Eric Holder and his racial preference-mongers (not to mention the “social justice” purveyors at Obama’s Department of Education) approve:
Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline
by Doug MacEachern – Sept. 19, 2009 08:22 PM
The Arizona Republic
…The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one [...]

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the New York Times’ call for dirty Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel to resign amid mounting ethics and tax evasion scandals.
U.S. Representatives John Carter (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) marked the anniversary on the House floor — and contrasted the Democrats’ furor over GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst with their [...]

Culture of corruption.

This is what happens when you get too much Beltway on the brain.
Newt Gingrich — who sidled up on a couch with Nancy Pelosi for one of Al Gore’s global warming ad campaigns — championed President Obama’s education speech today.
Subtext be damned.
Gingrich, you should know, has been on a summer road trip with police-bashing, [...]

Charlie Rangel puts a whole new twist on walking-around money.
He doled it out to Ethics Committee Democrat members walking around on the Hill.
And it’s paying off.
WCBS-TV reports:
CBS 2 HD has learned of more alleged back-door dealings and political power peddling by Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel.
The reigning member of Congress’ top tax committee is apparently “wrangling” [...]

“You can think whatever you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met.”

When he’s not race-baiting, he’s tax-evading and excuse-making.
And always getting away with it.
The latest? He “forgot” to disclose between $500,000 and $1 million in unreported wealth.
Meticulous Man of the People:
Rep. Charles Rangel failed to report as much as $1.3 million in outside income — including up to $1 million for a Harlem building sale — [...]
