The Racist Wright is Wrong Again

Would Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, still be in public life if Wright were a Caucasian man?

Haha. Fawk no.

NRO: The Scary Legacy of the 2008 Democratic Primary by Victor Davis Hanson

One of the strangest things about the NAACP Wright pseudo-scientific speech on learning, and its enthusiastic CNN coverage and analysis, was the abject racialism of Wright. It was sort of an inverse Bell-Curve presentation, based on assumed DNA differences.

His convoluted explanation of African-American right-brain ‘oral’ culture as more creative, musical, and spontaneous versus European left-brain traditional analysis could never have been given by someone white to that audience without justifiably earning booing and catcalls.

Three comments: this was just the sort of racist ‘genetic’ difference that most Americans learned to shun, now apparently quite acceptable again, and part of the mainstream.

Second, there is no evidence that so-called Europeans could not “rap” or create an oral literature as well as Africans — remember, oral poetry as we know it , began with bards like Homer somewhere in the southeastern Aegean and continued into modern times in the Balkans.

Three, some of the most accomplished speakers of English and analytical thinkers are African-Americans, a fact everyone immediately recognizes from what they read and with whom they speak.

In short, Wright’s speech on black-right brainers, white-left brainers — replete with bogus stereotypes and crude voice imitations — was about as racist as they come and at one time antithetical to what the NAACP was once all about.

Barack Obama was connected to this racist lunatic for 20 years while more sane people would have shunned him in minutes. The fact that the media doesn’t tar and feather Wright tells you just how much they agree with Pastor Racist. Or perhaps they’re simply too afraid to be critical.

(This media saves its righteous indignation for Republicans and conservatives and only on the most important issues. Isn’t that right, George “Macaca” Allen? )

Obama Realizes He’s ‘Outraged’

Jeremiah Wright heaved under political bus.

Obama says he’s outraged by former pastor’s comments By MIKE GLOVER

Transcript: Obama’s Remarks on Wright

[W]hen [Jeremiah Wright] states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS, when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st century, when he equates the United States wartime efforts with terrorism, then there are no excuses. They offend me. They rightly offend all Americans. And they should be denounced. And that’s what I’m doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.

Twenty years too late, Senator.

Obama’s parents didn’t force him into Trinity Church. Whether for political or religious reasons (or both), Obama chose the church and Wright while he was an adult. NOW he realizes he’s outraged and offended?

And just in case you forgot this Obama quote from March 18th:

“I can no more disown [Wright] than I can disown the black community.”

How quickly things change.

Eliot Spitzer’s Whore Supports — drumroll — Hillary

I’m sure Senator Clinton is thrilled with this coveted endorsement.

Ashley Alexandra “Kristen” Dupre, whose political expertise can only lead to a, like, totally cool speech tour, just loves screwing those Democrats.

Pics of the degenerate are here. (I meant Dupre, not Hillary.)

Unintended Consequences of Ethanol

The current spike in food prices could have been easily avoided. That is, assuming the people promoting biofuels knew (or cared) about basic economics.

Investor’s Business Daily: Undoing America’s Ethanol Mistake BY SENATOR KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON

The Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman once said, “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”

When Congress passed legislation to greatly expand America’s commitment to biofuels, it intended to create energy independence and protect the environment.

But the results have been quite different. America remains equally dependent on foreign sources of energy, and new evidence suggests that ethanol is causing great harm to the environment.

In recent weeks, the correlation between government biofuel mandates and rapidly rising food prices has become undeniable. At a time when the U.S. economy is facing recession, Congress needs to reform its “food-to-fuel” policies and look at alternatives to strengthen energy security.

Hopes for Voter Fraud in Indiana Dashed by Supreme Court

AP: Supreme Court Upholds Photo ID Law For Voters in Indiana

The case concerned a state law, passed in 2005, that was backed by Republicans as a way to deter voter fraud. Democrats and civil rights groups opposed the law as unconstitutional and called it a thinly veiled effort to discourage elderly, poor and minority voters — those most likely to lack proper ID and who tend to vote for Democrats.

There is little history in Indiana of either in-person voter fraud — of the sort the law was designed to thwart — or voters being inconvenienced by the law’s requirements.

“We cannot conclude that the statute imposes ‘excessively burdensome requirements’ on any class of voters,” [Justice John Paul] Stevens said.

CRAWFORD ET AL. v. MARION COUNTY ELECTION BOARD ET AL.

From the Aliza Shvarts School of Artsy Ideas / Meet Professor Pia Lindman

How can anyone take art seriously when artists feel compelled to do this shit?

Thankfully, this is very tame compared to what Yale “art student,” Aliza Shvarts, considered “art.”

Speaking of talent-challenged Ms. Shvarts, while the controversy she caused focused entirely on her, there was one person we all forgot: her advisor, the “performance artist” Ms. Pia Lindman.

Apparently Lindman didn’t do much advising when it came to Shvarts. Upon reviewing some of Lindman’s “art,” however, one shudders to imagine what advice Lindman might have imparted on the 22 year old Shvarts.

Of course, Lindman is much older than 22, so she should know better than post the following revolting comment online:

Working with video, I perceive the act of recording as a performative gesture and part of the content of the work. In residency at the World Financial Center, I submerged a camera in the harbor nearby, in an attempt to create a point of access to an otherwise impenetrable corporate environment further rendered paranoid by the traumas of the World Trade Center disaster.

Confused? You should be. Academics long ago turned writing into an impenetrable fog. Bear with me while I untangle Lindman’s mess:

When I video record something, I make it part of my art. If you thought the corporate types around the WTC were bad before, you shoulda seen what wackjobs they were AFTER 9/11! They wouldn’t let me video record when and where I wanted, so I dunked a camera into the water near the WTC to show what it would look like underwater.

Imperfect, yes, but at least my translation is comprehensible.

So the World Trade Center was an “impenetrable corporate environment” which was “rendered paranoid” by 9/11. I can’t imagine why any corporate environment should be “penetrated.” Nor can I understand why anyone in lower Manhattan would be “paranoid” after their neighborhood was turned into Danta’s Inferno.

Sticking a camera into a harbor was supposed to achieve exactly what? Insofar as it takes zero talent and less imagination to dunk a video camera into water (No, I don’t care how she did it) I cannot fathom how such a project would be deemed “art.”

With this academic “advising” Shvarts, little wonder that Shvarts found phony abortions to be great for an art project.

Yale University, ladies and gentlemen!

Another Smashing Liberal Idea

The ignorance of economics among liberals is really a sight to behold. With more corn going to biofuel, guess what’s happening to the cost of food? (No, it’s not decreasing, you smelly hippy.)

Western governments listened to the ecowarriors . . . The EU decreed that 5.75 percent of petrol and diesel must come from “biofuels” by 2010, rising to 10 percent by 2020. The United States added to its 51 cent-per-gallon ethanol subsidy by mandating a fivefold increase in “biofuels” production by 2022.

The result is that big government accomplished at a stroke what the free market could never have done: They turned the food supply into a subsidiary of the energy industry. When you divert 28 percent of U.S. grain into fuel production, and when you artificially make its value as fuel higher than its value as food, why be surprised that you’ve suddenly got less to eat? Or, to be more precise, it’s not “you” who’s got less to eat but those starving peasants in distant lands you claim to care so much about.

[...]

The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing countries. In order for you to put biofuel in your Prius and feel good about yourself for no reason, real actual people in faraway places have to starve to death. On April 15, the Independent, the impeccably progressive British newspaper, editorialized:

“The production of biofuel is devastating huge swaths of the world’s environment. So why on Earth is the government forcing us to use more of it?”

You want the short answer? Because the government made the mistake of listening to fellows like you.

No matter. It’s all Bush’s fault anyway!

Obama Blogger is a Communist

WND: Official Obama blogger flies Communist Party flag — Campaign journalist’s work appears in ‘revolutionary Marxist’ journal

In the same week the Obama campaign quietly removed from its official website a page managed by a fundraiser tied to the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, its official blogger has come under attack as a “hardcore Marxist” for hanging a Communist Party flag in his Harvard campus apartment and publishing in a self-professed ‘revolutionary Marxist’ journal.

Sam Graham-Felsen, a journalist-on-leave from The Nation, joined Obama for America in March 2007 where he works for the New Media department as the official blogger, daily presenting the campaign’s public face. Now he’s under fire for his reputed Marxist sympathies

It figures.

At least Felsen isn’t blowing up government buildings or shouting hate-filled rants at a pulpit. Felsen simply follows a failed ideology responsible for the deaths of 100 million and the oppression and torture of many more. Don’t be so judgmental!

Psychotic “Anti-War” Zealots

Regardless of how you feel about the War on Terror, the situation in Iraq, about Bush, Conservatives or Republicans, if this story doesn’t cause revulsion, you’d do well to reevaluate your morals.

And when the anti-war psychos are not committing crimes, they’re trying to profit from the very war they detest all while using the names of dead soldiers in the process.

The Rehabilitation of Jeremiah Wright Begins

The Barack Obama/The Messiah campaign cannot erase Jeremiah Wright’s racist, ignorant statements. Nor can they erase Wright’s 20 year connection to The Messiah. So what CAN the campaign do?

Well, they can try to make Wright look like a good ‘ole, nice guy who doesn’t mean any harm. He’s not a crackpot racist who hates America and every white person in it! Oh nooo! Wright’s just a teddy bear behind a pulpit! Yes, it’s image rehabilitation time.

(Although it seems that Wright doesn’t want to cooperate in that endeavor!)

Meanwhile, in a great irony, Obama pretends that race doesn’t really matter. (It matters only so long as liberals control the debate.) Try to ignore the fact that Obama and other liberals obsess about race constantly.

And who is the big loser in all this? (Besides America, which has to chose from two socialists and one back stabbing, pseudo-conservative.) Hillary has NO intention of leaving this race, even if she’s (God forbid) totally incapacitated. But Obama still leads in delegates. So it will come down to the Democrat party having to chose between (1) angering Hillary supporters or (2) angering Obama supporters.

Damned if they do, and. . .

The beneficiary of this political bloodbath is Senator John “campaign finance” McCain, who gets to do nothing (except beat up on his own supporters for television ads he hasn’t bothered to see himself) but watch and laugh.

The North Carolina G.O.P. ad which irritates John “backstabber” McCain so much:

do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,

for the Lord your God is with you

wherever you go.”

Scalia Smacks Down Stahl, Sissy Libs

CBS resurrects the 2000 Bush v. Gore issue. Justice Antonin Scalia tells them to “get over it” and also explains why the Court decided as it did.

Naturally, liberals showed the wonderful class and tolerance that they’re known for showing when confronted with opposing views. Like the comment below at the CBS webpage:

If ever a man DESERVED a heart attack ……. Wonder how man [sic] butts SCALIA has kissed over the years? I”m sure the list is long.

Posted by TiredoftheBS at 01:12 AM : Apr 26, 2008

Here’s a question for this TiredoftheBS stooge: Scalia is unelected and unaccountable to voters. WHOSE butt would he have to kiss?

Or did you mean prior to Scalia’s confirmation? Would that also not apply to Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer?
