Where Is The Outrage?

How long ago was it, 3 weeks? 6 weeks? when all the paragons of virtue in the media and the leaders of the black community rose with one voice demanding the head of Imus for a so-called racist remark. Well my friends please explain to me why these same people are not raising the roof and demanding a boycott of sponsors of Rush Limbaugh. I urge you to view the video below and tell me this isn't a racist piece of crap, yet the Oxycontin man has been playing this song for weeks on his radio show. Some may think of this as just humorous parody of Senator Obama, but in my opinion Limbaugh has seriously crossed the line. You decide. Once again this blowhard Limbaugh gets a free pass from the media and worse yet, not a word from the two loudest critics of Imus, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. In fact the only person to seriously criticize this parody was Karl Frisch, a spokesman for Media Matters who is quoted in The Swamp (which is a blog from the Washington Bureau of the Chicago Tribune} saying: “We take these things seriously because there’s a consistent pattern of them making their way into the mainstream media and then the mainstream consciousness, it’s important to shoot these things down.” This is a very serious issue we are looking at here. It is this kind of racist crap pushed by Limbaugh along with the hate mail and threats against the Senator that are racist in tone, that caused Senator Durbin to approach the Secret Service and the Dept. of Homeland Security and request protection for Senator Obama, and it was given. I have to say it does really bother me however, that the same media and the same black leaders in the country that seemed to be on the cable shows 24-7 have said nothing. In fairness to Sharpton though, according to The Swamp, he did make a statement saying he wouldn't make an issue out of it without talking to the Senator. Fine but where are the rest?More....

Give Fox The Smackdown It Deserves

Hopefully the days of people believing Fox News lives up to its' motto of "Fair And Balanced" have passed. Just in case you happen to be one of those who hasn't realized their con game by now, take a look at this video from Foxattacks.com which shows the many ways they manage a low-blow attack against presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama in every news report they do on him. Just recently, this announcement was put out by Foxattacks.com, Success! We stopped both Fox News Democratic presidential debates. Senators Edwards, Obama and Clinton all declined to participate, and the DNC would not officially sanction either debate. If the Republican National Committee and the Bush Administration want to corrupt the airwaves with their crap, let them buy legitimate commercial time and stop using Fox News as their mouthpiece and calling it a news outlet. Head on over to Foxattacks.com, and see how you too can make a difference and stop this kind of blathering bullshit from getting on the airwaves.

Illinois Senate President Causing A Rift In Democratic Black Caucus

Illinois (State) Senate President Emil Jones Jr. (a key political operative for Barack Obama), seems to be trying his best to cause a split in not only the Illinois Black Caucus, but pulling in African-Americans across the country into the controversy. Reporting on a meeting of the Democratic National Committee's black caucus at the winter meeting of the DNC in Washington this past week, the online magazine The Politico reports: A key supporter of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama urged united African-American support for his presidential bid, questioning whether black Democrats still "owe" Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton their support. One thing I can definitely say about Jones' speech is Senator Obama better reign this guy in or he will definitely damage his chances in his bid for the Presidency. Again from The Politico "How long are you going to owe?" politicians for past favors, Jones asked in a speech Friday to more than 100 members of the Democratic National Committee's black caucus and other political operatives gathered at the Washington Hilton for the winter meeting of the DNC, according to people who were there. Jones, a veteran black legislator, implored the black officials and operatives not to act like "crabs in a barrel' " the attendees said, and drag down a successful member of their community. So in general then, the gist of his comments was 'how long are we going to have to pay back the Clinton's' . I am sure the Clintons do not look upon the support of African-Americans as a dept that has to be paid, and comments like this have no place in the presidential bid of Senator Obama. The primary is supposed to be an exercise in the nominating process to shine a light on the views of candidates, and then determine who is the most qualified person to run for the presidency. It is not supposed to be a process that is conducted to "pay back" some supposed "debt". "How long are you going to owe?" Is this man a total idiot? These types of comments from anyone, let alone a black leader, are nothing but total nonsense. Black voters owe Senator Clinton absolutely nothing for their past support, nor do they owe Senator Obama anything because he is black.
