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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Shame on.

Plus: Guess who else schmoozed with Sharpton?

“Monkey business.”

You cannot appease racial grievance-mongers. This man’s appetite for destruction is insatiable.
You can take them to dinner, put them on TV, give them awards, welcome them to the White House (!), bow and scrape, and kiss their rings.
But it will never, never be enough.
Al Sharpton and the rest of the demagogues are still going ape [...]

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Race-hustler to the rescue!

The original Reverend of Hate.

Three stooges on a global warming crusade.

“Reverend, it’s good to see you.”

Race-hustler. Head-hunter. Circus master.

Pity the fools.

Knock, knock. Who’s there?

Update 12:45pm Eastern. “Thousands” are marching, according to WaPo.

I told you last week about the Al Sharpton demagogue-a-thon hitting Washington this morning. They’re marching around the Department of Justice to protest hate crimes. My syndicated column earlier this week elaborated on the politics of racial insult:
The ululations of the aggrieved ebb and flow like [...]

Poison.

***1245pm Eastern update: Laura Ingraham has phoned the Verizon exec I mentioned below, John Harrobin, to come on her show to discuss Akon…apparently, he took a half-day off today and won’t be back until next Wednesday…stay tuned and keep up the pressure for accountability…***

Calling Verizon Wireless exec John Harrobin…anyone home?

Check this out. Rapper/singer/whatever Akon is [...]

Oh, snap

My syndicated column this week:
In 1992, Bill Clinton hit a political home run with his “Sister Souljah” moment. In 2007, Hillary Clinton suffered a reverse “Sister Souljah” strikeout. If it’s not the end of her presidential aspirations, it should be.
Allow me to explain. Fifteen years ago, then-Gov. Clinton was looking to solidify his [...]

Last night, I blogged about Hillary talkin’ like a homegirl at Al Sharpton’s demagogue-a-thon.
More at HA, where see-dubya quips:
MEMO TO HILLARY: When your name is “Clinton”, and you attack the ethics of the Bush administration…
DO NOT MENTION THE OVAL OFFICE CARPET.
Er, yeah.
Ick.

Pagones v. Maddux, Mason and Sharpton – Tawana Brawley Grand Jury Report

The NYPost reports: “Former Mayor Ed Koch surprised an almost exclusively black audience yesterday by telling the Rev. Al Sharpton he had spoiled his chance to become “a crossover leader” by refusing to apologize for “the Tawana Brawley hoax.” Sharpton, for once, reportedly had nothing to say in response. If there’s video of this, let [...]

I noted yesterday that the Dems were flocking to Al Sharpton’s annual demagogue-a-thon this week. The photo above comes via the Boston Globe with the following caption:
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards shakes hands with Rev. Al Sharpton after speaking during the ‘Keepers of the Dream Awards Dinner’ Wednesday, April 18, 2007 during the 9th annual [...]

Last week, I noted how willing media have propped up race hustler Al Sharpton. There’s one other powerful institution that continues to serve as a Sharpton enabler: the Democrat Party.
Every major presidential candidate is scheduled to pay homage at Sharpton’s annual National Action Network convention this week–beginning with John Edwards and climaxing with Barack Obama:
Civil [...]

Video from last night’s show here.
I think I was about to hurl when Geraldo called Al Sharpton a “great man” and one of the nation’s top “civil rights” leaders. You can hear me mutter “whose civil rights?” Certainly not the rights of innocent prosecutor Steve Pagones, who was truly scarred for life by the lying, [...]

I’ll be guest-hosting on The O’Reilly Factor tonight and tomorrow night. Tonight, we’ll be talking Imus, Sharpton, Snoop Dogg, Duke, illegal alien sanctuary challenges, and more. See ya in the No-Spin Zone.

My syndicated column this week: THE CULTURE OF “BITCHES, NIGGAS, AND HOS”
Let’s stipulate: I have no love for Don Imus, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson. I repeat: A pox on all their race-baiting houses.
Let’s also stipulate: The Rutgers women’s basketball team didn’t deserve to be disrespected as “nappy-headed hos.” No woman deserves that. I agree [...]

Washington Post goes A1 this morning with a story about a possible Michael Bloomberg presidential candidacy: Gag.
Aren’t there enough pro-abortion, anti-gun, open borders candidates running for president?
Endorsed by Al Sharpton. Faaabulous:
“He would be a very compelling candidate,” said civil rights activist Al Sharpton, himself a once and potentially future presidential hopeful from the Big Apple, [...]

With so much breaking news in the Middle East, I’ve been neglecting politics on the homefront. So, here are a few links and asides on a few noteworthy campaign developments on both sides of the aisle:
The netroots/nutroots are putting their proverbial eggs in the Ned Lamont basket. They are pulling out all the [...]
