So much for post-racialism, Part 997
A prominent political figure told voters last week to support a candidate because he “looks more like us.” Yep. If that political figure had been a Republican and the voters had been Tea Party activists, the story would be splashed all over the front pages and cited endlessly on MSNBC as yet more evidence of [...]
Terrific: Bankrupt Freddie Mac hires “diversity officer”
Taxpayer-supported mortgage behemoth Freddie Mac — yes, the same government-sponsored entity that is sucking $64 billion of your money to stay afloat — is proud to announce that it is squandering more of your bucks on a “diversity officer:” Freddie Mac, the government-controlled mortgage buyer, on Monday named Subha V. Barry to head its newly [...]
Hurricane Katrina and the race card: 5 years later
President Obama is headed to New Orleans this weekend to mark the 5th anniversary of Katrina. The papers and airwaves will be clogged with all sorts of retrospectives. My column today reminds you of the ugly racial demagoguery by leading Democrats and “civil rights” leaders from Jimmy Carter to Charlie Rangel to Malik Zulu Shabazz. [...]

Summer of corruption: The enablers of Charlie Rangel, continued
Continuing my series on the enablers of Charlie Rangel, look who’s standing with the Swamp Creature, via the NYPost: Sen. Charles Schumer and Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Cuomo will attend beleaguered Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel’s fundraising bash at The Plaza hotel tonight, sources said. Schumer and Cuomo made the decision after ducking [...]
Summer of corruption: Blago verdict watch & Jesse Jackson, Jr. watch; Update: Jury wants “clarification;” Update: DEADLOCKED; Update: Jury takes weekend off
Scroll for updates… It’s Day 11 of the Blagojevich verdict watch. Buzz from Chicago is that the jury deliberations may drag into next week. Defense lawyers are now regretting that Jesse Jackson, Jr. (Senate Candidate No. 5) didn’t make it onto the stand, via Chicago Sun Times: Michael Ettinger, attorney for Robert Blagojevich, gave an [...]
Harry Reid pulls out race card again, whacks himself in the head
When Dingy Harry last opened his mouth to spout off about race, he was blabbing to left-leaning journalist/authors about Obama’s “light skin” and lack of a “Negro dialect.” Masochistic minority Democrats rallied around Reid at a dog-and-pony rally, though at least one person spoke truth to power. Flashback: “If he had any real black friends, [...]
Summer of Corruption: Maxine Waters’ zombie deadbeat bank; Update: House Ethics panel releases charges
Scroll for update… I’ve been telling you about Maxine Waters’ shady OneUnited meddling for the past year — and most recently spotlighted the OneUnited/TARP hanky-panky and Waters’ minority fat-cat banker pals last week. You’ll recall that I linked to an analysis by Linus Wilson at Seeking Alpha that exposed how weak OneUnited was. Flashback: OneUnited [...]
Mad Maxine’s minority fat-cat bankers
My column today hits again on Maxine Waters’ brewing ethics scandal. Her supporters are ratcheting up the victim-card rhetoric. She appeared on the race-hustling Reverend Al Sharpton’s radio show yesterday to stoke the fires and re-cast the ethics probe as an attempt to squelch advocacy on behalf of all black businesses. Another guest bemoaned the [...]
Maxine, Barney, Fannie, Freddie & TARP Hanky-Panky
“Stay out of it.”
Summer of Corruption: Maxine Waters/OneUnited Bank refresher course
On the heels of the Rangel House Ethics tangle, word came down this weekend that fellow Congressional Black Caucus member and racial grievance-mongering diva Rep. Maxine Waters will face her own House Ethics Committee trial. The subject of the inquiry? Her government cronyism of color wheeling and dealing with minority-owned bank OneUnited Bank in Los [...]
Summer of corruption: The enablers of Charlie Rangel; Update: Obama’s kiss-off
Scroll for updates… Drain the swamp? HAHAHAHAHAHA! My column today exposes the swamp creatures who coddled and protected Charlie Rangel all these years. Three House Dems have called on him to resign. And Democrats here in Colorado are bailing on him. But it’s too little, too late to mask the Democrat Party’s Rangel stench. Below [...]
Shed no tears for corruptocrat Charlie Rangel; Update: Deal reportedly struck…or not?; Dems stall for Rangel; 13 charges announced
Scroll for updates… Much more coming today as the House ethics committee prepares to release its treasure trove of charges against corruptocrat Charlie Rangel, but I had to call your attention immediately to this maudlin, sycophantic paean to Rangel from WaPo’s Dana Milbank. It’s titled “Charlie Rangel: Fallling with Grace.” (“Grace?!” Guess he missed this [...]
Summer of Corruption: Rangel to face ethics charges
I’m not going to get my hopes up given the Democrat foxes guarding the henHouse, but it looks like Charlie Rangel may finally get his comeuppance. Via the Washington Post: The House ethics committee is preparing to conduct what to amounts to a trial for former House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.). [...]
Apologist-in-chief aims for another Nobel Peace Prize
Raise your hands: Who else is sick of the Shirley Sherrod circus? We’ve entered the 20th minute of Sherrod’s 15 minutes of fame with this afternoon’s news of President Obama’s phone call to express “regret” for his administration’s hasty sacking of the former USDA official. She pronounced herself “very pleased.” Profuse apologies to the world [...]
Confirming the gobsmackingly obvious
The media is filled with left-wing activists. The race card is the first and last refuge of liberal scoundrels. The race-card playing liberals in the media tried their best to whitewash Barack Obama’s radical ties to Jeremiah Wright and other race demagogues. We hold these truths to be self-evident, but it’s always useful to see [...]
A Sheila Jackson Lee Twofer
Crazy stupid (not necessarily in that order)
The National Association for the Advancement of Coddled People
My column blasts the desperate, Tea Party-bashing demagogues of the NAACP. In new developments, the Sacramento chapter of the NAACP is crusading to turn Michael Jackson’s Neverland into a state park. The St. Louis NAACP official who called SEIU beating victim Kenneth Gladney an “Uncle Tom” reiterated and defended the slur last night on Fox [...]
“Wake the F**k Up Michelle Malkin, You’re Black;” Update: NAACP grievance-palooza! Tea Party is “threat to the pursuit of justice” for all; NAACP shuts off webcast; Tea Party resolution passes
Plus: Scenes from the NAACP grievance-fest.
NAACP, NY Times Whitewash Robert Byrd’s Past
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Somebody at the NAACP either needs a history lesson or is being intentionally deceptive about somebody’s horrid past just because the person in question was a liberal Democrat (don’t tell me which it is and ruin the suspense). From Mike Riggs at the Daily Caller: On Monday the organization [NAACP] [...]
A mighty pale newspaper
This is Charles Blow. Blow is an African-American columnist for the New York Times. He flew down to the Dallas Tea Party to see what he could see. He saw what he wanted to see and he might as well have used the new smear term from Tea Party-bashers that I noted last week: “Tea [...]
Identity politics run amok in Hawaii
It’s blue-on-blue warfare among Democrats fighting over the special election in Hawaii’s 1st District. You’ll recall that far Leftist Neil Abercrombie stepped down earlier this year to run for governor. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington favors former Democratic Rep. Ed Case over state Senator Colleen Hanabusa. Case is considered more “moderate” than the [...]
The Pfleger-ization of the Catholic Church
My syndicated column today follows up on my post earlier this week about toxic Catholic priest Michael Pfleger’s “racial justice lifetime achievement award” from the Archdiocese of Chicago. Read below for Rev. Pfleger’s communications to me about his demagoguery. In defending its award, the Archdiocese stepped in further by defending Barack Obama’s pro-abortion agenda. Cardinal [...]
Document drop: Cardinal George to honor race-baiting Father Michael Pfleger

Urologic care is not a civil right
Someone please just get Democrat demagogue Alan Grayson an MSNBC show and be gone with him. The Florida congressman is trying to make a federal case out of one urologist’s exercise of political free speech. Via Fox News over the weekend: An outspoken U.S. congressman is planning to file a complaint against the central Florida [...]
Pots, kettles, Maxine Waters, and a reminder about Democrats egging on Code Pink; Updated: “Riot is the voice of the unheard”
I heard one of the funniest April Fools’ jokes yesterday: It was career Democrat demagogue Maxine Waters moaning about the “loud” and “vulgar” voices of the Tea Party movement. You can watch the video here. Haw, it’s a snort-inducer. In case you need a reminder about Waters’ history as one of the loudest, most vulgar [...]
Taking bets: How long ’til Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson cries “RAAAACISM?”
Oh, dear. Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson apparently believes Guam is going to “tip over” from overpopulation and “capsize.” Snort-inducing moment: The response from Adm. Robert Willard, commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, who pauses ever so slightly before politely informing Johnson that “we don’t anticipate that.” Instant classic: Taking bets: How long before race hustler [...]
Who’s Perpetuating Lies, Stereotypes and Ignorance?

Pelosi on Rangel: Big deal, it’s not like he endangered national security or anything
The House Speaker who promised the most ethical Congress ever is stalling on action against corruptocrat Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel. And she’s gone even further by minimizing his ethics violations because they haven’t endangered national security. Business as usual: Rep. Charlie Rangel’s admonishment for violating House gift rules “is not good,” but his actions did [...]
