Guilty.

Distraction.

Counter-protesting the race hustlers.

A D.C. deputy mayor is robbed at gunpoint. How much more of a wake-up call do they need?

Help! I’ve fallen from civil rights relevancy and I can’t get up.

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 [...]

A few days ago, I noted Jane Fonda’s scheduled appearance tomorrow at a Navy Memorial protest. She’ll be joined by legions of others coming to Washington, D.C. this weekend:
Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather in Washington, D.C., this weekend for a major anti-war rally — the first of several events designed to [...]

Yes, it’s true. America’s Shakedown Artist is headed to the Middle East “to meet with political and religious leaders about troubles in the region, including the kidnapping of two Fox News journalists.” More via AP:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Wednesday he would lead an ecumenical delegation to the Middle East this week to meet with [...]

Looking for a late-night laugh? Check out the fulmination from Ned Lamont’s nutroots gal pal, Jane Hamsher, sputtering about her blackface debacle. Guess whose fault it is that she made an insane decision to publish the minstrel Photoshop of Joe Lieberman on her Huffington Post blog entry? It’s those damned “right-wing Republicans:”
I sincerely apologize to [...]

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 [...]

The New York Times discovers the moonbat reverse-diet plan in a piece titled “As a tactic, starving is found wanting:”
Saddam Hussein ended his 19-day hunger strike last Wednesday with a meal of beef, rice and Coca-Cola, but he had little to show for his starvation. Iraqis in particular, living day-to-day with brutal sectarian violence, viewed [...]

Yesterday, I mentioned the Washington Post’s smelly little article on an unpublished study purporting to associate conservative support for President Bush with bias against blacks.
Newsbusters’ Tim Graham noted that the reporter who penned the piece had also mentioned the same researchers and the same study in a Washington Post magazine piece (titled, ironically enough, [...]

I stopped watching Saturday Night Live a long, long time ago. But The Political Teen has a laugh-out-loud clip of last night’s SNL, which took on the demagogic trio of Jesse Jackson, Hillary Clinton, and Ray Nagin.
Darrell Hammond’s Jesse Jackson is dead-on:

Go watch and enjoy.

If these dudes were Republicans, their faces would have been all over the news today as their trial on felony counts of vandalism in the Election Day 2004 tire-slashing of more than 20 vehicles rented by Republican campaigners finally got underway:

The Stanley Tookie Williams show starts up again at 12Noon today:
LOS ANGELES – In the kind of funeral normally reserved for a dignitary, religious leaders and celebrities traveled to violence-wracked South Los Angeles to pay respects to the man who helped found a deadly street gang, then spent the years before his execution denouncing the [...]

Still no decision from Gov. Schwarzenegger. The clock is ticking. SFChronicle reports:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger did not announce his decision Saturday regarding Stanley Tookie Williams’ request for clemency, giving him less than two days to decide whether Williams should be spared the lethal injection he is scheduled to receive at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
Administration officials have not [...]

Convicted murderer Stanley “Tookie” Williams, the co-founder of the violent Crips gang who is on Death Row in California, is Hollyweird’s current cause celebre. He is scheduled to be executed on Dec. 13 after 24 years of legal wrangling. The San Francisco Chronicle reports today that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to hold a clemency [...]

***updated…statement from Project 21***
Will top Democrats apologize for the vicious “Sambo” smear leveled at GOP Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who is running for Senate in my home state of Maryland?
The New York Post’s Deborah Orin reports today that Steele is seeking an apology from Sen. Chuck Schumer, head of the DSCC, for the racist slam [...]

Louis Farrakhan and his followers, still in the grip of Katrina Derangement Syndrome, will be making landfall in Washington, D.C., this Saturday to mark the 10th anniversary of the “Million Man March.” The new campaign is being dubbed the “Millions More Movement” and Farrakhan is shamelessly exploiting the Katrina tragedy to entice new recruits to [...]

Put your coffee down. The Rev. Jesse Jackson– Mr. Shakedown himself– is complaining about favoritism in government contracting.

Harry Belafonte , who referred to black members of the Bush administration as “black tyrants,” wasn’t the only one flying off the handle at the Voting Rights Act march in Atlanta this weekend:
A featured speaker at Saturday’s civil rights march in Atlanta said the Bush administration and Republican Party leaders are “thieves” who “need to [...]

It’s not just the MSM that wants the Air Enron/Air Deadbeat/Air Scamerica scandal to go away. My latest column sheds light on a new angle: the silence of the race-hustling reverends, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
If you are wondering why they are not picketing the headquarters of Air America over the reported bilking of one [...]

Tennessee Democratic state legislator John Ford, nabbed in an FBI corruption sting dubbed Operation Tennessee Waltz, has blamed the “white media” for past troubles. So naturally, the veteran Dem–accused of allegedly threatening to kill an undercover agent–is again pointing fingers to distract from his new set of alleged crimes.
It’s all the government’s fault.
They’re [...]

Via AP:
The Democratic Party, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and two groups associated with the civil rights activist have agreed to pay a total of $200,000 in civil fines for campaign finance violations in the 2000 elections.

You know that story about minority students being evacuated from a university because of racially motivated hate mail? Jesse Jackson even showed up to harangue college administrators.

Back in October 2003, three days after a FBI bug was found in Mayor John Street’s office, Street had a phone conversation with his friend Ron White in which they discussed using the race card as a tactic in the upcoming mayoral election against Rep candidate Sam Katz.

Mindless liberal critics like to paint every conservative journalist as a Republican-subsidized cheerleader. The wasteful, foolish, and shameful Armstrong Williams/Education Department’s “Pay to Pander” scandal certainly doesn’t help. For the record, I am reprinting my column on “No Child Left Behind” published Aug. 2, 2000. Some of us are not for $ale.
