Fluffy Bunnies: Harmless?

Politics | Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 4:02:13 pm PDT

The Associated Press seems to sense, in some dim way, that they may have gone a little over the line with that ludicrous “analysis” by Douglass Daniel that tries to accuse Sarah Palin of racism for mentioning Barack Obama’s association with former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.

In the latest revision, they’ve changed the headline from “Analysis: Palin’s words carry racial tinge” to: Analysis: Palin’s words may backfire on McCain.

Maybe not as much as this nasty bias will backfire on the Associated Press.

But the story also includes this unbelievably crass statement from “Democratic strategist” Jenny Backus:

“It’s a giant changing of the subject,” said Jenny Backus, a Democratic strategist. “The problem is the messenger. If you want to start throwing fire bombs, you don’t send out the fluffy bunny to do it. I think people don’t take Sarah Palin seriously.”

In an article about Sarah Palin’s subtle subtext of racism, this very unsubtle sexist slur against the Governor of Alaska goes unremarked, reported straight, as if it were a simple observation, nothing more. These people are completely beyond shame, both the Democrats who say these things and the Associated Press who enables them.

But remember, not all fluffy bunnies are as harmless as they seem.

VPs are traditionally the attack dog.

Unless they're Republican women - then they're just stupid bits of fluff chosen cynically to slander and lie about stuff they don't even really know about. You know, because they're dumb, like all Republicans ultimately are.

What pisses me off is the msm coming out and saying any criticism of 0bama is racist. Now granted- racism isn't cool, it's evil, but criticism based on facts is not racist.

What bothers me is they are not applying their so-called logic equally- it's not being called sexist to criticize Palin. And even when we do see sexist comments about Palin, the msm is silent.

That tells me that the msm thinks sexism is okay- a perfectly legitimate political weapon. They make me sick.

I said this at the end of the earlier AP thread.

I live in St. Louis. This is a racially divided town. What AP is doing is no joke, and they have no idea (or maybe they do) of the gasoline they're putting on race relations. If there are race riots when Obama loses (and I still hope that he will), the blood and property of innocent people of all races will be on the AP's hands. You simply can't say, day after day, that anyone who doesn't vote for the One is a racist and thenfeign shock when there's riots when he loses.

My white-hot contempt for the mainstream media knows no bounds.

It's OK when the person to whom it is applied is not their candidate of choice.

That statement is worse that just plain "sexist". It is completely dismissive of Palin and her accomplishments, as indicated when he followed the "fluffy bunny" statement by, "I think people don’t take Sarah Palin seriously.”

This is a woman who is currently one of only fifty state Governors in this country. A governor who had a record high approval rating by the citizens of that state.

When you are one among a group of fifty in a country as big and populous as ours, then people are indeed taking you seriously.

It's beyond my comprehension how people who believe they are serious, credible people can look themselves in the mirror each morning when they have such incredible bias, and apparently, to hear them talk about themselves, no clue that the bias is there.

Jenny- you're a tool of the man, and now millions of women across American have no respect for you. Perhaps you have none for yourself and that's why you're willing to stoop to such levels. I pity you.

Once again, Palin is trashed with terminology that would cause a media outcry if it were applied to a liberal, female democrat.

They appear to hate Palin, a) because she's a conservative, and b) because she's attractive...really attractive...so attractive that for the first time ever, I've had to fight the urge to mentally undress a VP candidate. Can one still be a Republican and feel such a thing for someone in the executive branch?

I believe the left covets Palin...they'd kill for a left-wing female with the communication skills and ability to connect with the electorate the way Palin can...but they have to make due with Hillary. But, since Palin is on the other side of the aisle, she must be mocked and destroyed (a la the Alinsky method).

My respect for Palin grows daily as she guts this out and gives it back to them with a wink and a smile.

Damn...more non-Republican thoughts now...

44 izbliss  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 4:16:04pm

The only thing that matters now to the DNC, MSM, and hollywood is winning the election no matter the cost. I'm guessing they figure that they can deal with the fallout afterwards, as long as their guy is in office (meaning a lower likelihood of fallout).

"Run away! Run away!" That's what we need to hear the Obama/Biden team screaming by the end of the month.

My advice to the McCain/Palin team: Ratchet up the speeches and commercials re Obama's pals. Swift Boating, they say? Since when did the term "Swift Boat" become negative? Since the leftist loons started referring to it as negative. And their buddies, the press, started following suit. It's time McCain/Palin started saying, "Yes, we're Swift Boating you. We're telling the truth about you. How do you like it?"

Worms like Bill Ayers the terrorist stomped on our flag on 9/11's New York Times, and attacked our Pentagon "back in the day," while living off trust funds and hustling for grants to undermine our students' love of country.

With Obama supported by such scum, why is this race even close, America?

re: #10 Sharmuta

What pisses me off is the msm coming out and saying any criticism of 0bama is racist. Now granted- racism isn't cool, it's evil, but criticism based on facts is not racist.

I think it's as bad to falsely accuse someone of being racist. It's like the new McCarthyism.

However, it's to the point where the term is almost meaningless, it's so over used.

He used that statistic of 77 cents to the dollar. Now, I hate those statistics, because they're from the aggregate, not equal work for equal pay. But someone - I cannot find the link - did a study of Obama and McCain's Senate staff, and found Obama's female staffers make 83 cents to the dollar for male staffers. McCain? His female staffers make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes.

In large part, this is because McCain has more female senior staffers than Obama, about 60% of his top staffers. It really does disturb me how little of a role women play in the Obama campaign.

re: #81 buzzsawmonkey

Quasi-religious Marxist rituals like Kwanzaa, disguised as "community celebrations," are merely the happy face of this situation. Underneath, or behind them, there is a separatist ideology which has been building racism even as the larger society has been working to tear it down. The result is a society which has laid itself open, in an overt effort of good will, to the advancement of, and depredations by, people who have grown up in and with an ideology hostile to the larger society's very existence.

Gotta watch them Playboy Bunnies, they can be a bit on the dangerous side.

President Jimmuh had his five minutes with the fluffy bunny from hell on that pond.

Plus, bunnies reproduce like stupidity does in Congress.

Actually what Carter encountered was the species known as the swamp rabbit, which is known as an efficient swimmer. It is also referred to as the cane cutter rabbit and is significantly larger than the cottontail.
Ha, if Jimmy Carter was a true southern man he would have known this, and whacked it in the head and devoured its carcass for supper.

But when he talks to his daughter from his cube next to mine, I get to hear every word, and is it ever educational sometimes. For example, do you know who caused the recent meltdown in the financial sector? Why, the Republicans, of course! Why? Well, because of those massive tax cuts! (No, I can't quite fathom that one either.)

The day of the Palin pick they had a gleeful conversation. "Wow, what in the hell were the McCain camp THINKING? Haw, haw, this election is in the bag!"

I remember after the election in which the Democrats won both the House and the Senate, I came into work fully expecting my friend and all his moonbat compatriots to be dancing in the aisles, doing the butt wiggle dance in my face.

re: #178 alegrias


In the Mid 1980s five congresspeople (four democrats, one republican) were accused of being too friendly with rich Charles Keating, a lobbyist or developer.

Only John McCain was found innocent of taking bribes--the other four were charged.

The Keating Scandal nabbed democrats, and democrats keep trying to find McCain guilty though McCain was exonerated or at least found guilty of the appearance of guilt.

And McCain was only included in the Keating Five to maintain the fig leaf of a "bipartisan" scandal. It was after that, that McCain became the ethics crusader we know and "love" today. I would say that McCain-Feingold, for one is a direct consequence of that trial.

Important point here, the prosecutor (forget the name) was interviewed during the primaries and said that McCain was added to the list even though there was no wrongdoing on the behest of Democrats on the committee _specifically_ so the charges wouldn't be leveled against only democrats. The prosecutor was a democrat, but knew right and wrong when he saw up (oddly enough).

McCain was the bipartisan sacrificial lamb. And he played the role dutifully by apologizing ad naseum.

re: #189 buzzsawmonkey

Culling wolf packs has been a practice in Alaska for years; Palin did not invent or initiate it. And paying bounty in exchange for a paw has been the accepted way of determining the number of wolves killed. They are hunted from planes because it is safer for the people hunting them; this is not sport, but pest control.

Not that the people attacking Palin would be in favor of the wolf culling if it were done in a "sportsmanlike" way either.

* * * * *
Naw, naw, naw, Sarah Palin invented the aerial culling of wolfpacks because she is DRACULA! The woman doing the voice over made it sound like a scary movie featuring that Villainess, Cruella de Sarah Palin, who also kills one hundred and one dalmatians for fur coats!

PETA actually youthanizes thousands of domesticated animals every year that they have 'liberated' from their oppressive bipedal slavemasters.

"That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you've ever set eyes on! That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide!"

But seriously, once again, the same political group that portrays Dr. Rice as a "house negro" and hurls vile sexual insults at Michelle Malkin for defying their sterotypes, now calls a vice-presidential candidate whose nickname is "SarahCuda" a "fluffy bunny."

Unsurprising, but only because the people in question are so revolting.

BURLINGAME, Calif. — Sarah Palin defended her claim that Barack Obama "pals around with terrorists," saying the Democratic presidential nominee's association with a 1960s radical is an issue that is "fair to talk about."

Sharmuta, I never for one minute thought women like Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug or Jane Fonda were genuine feminists. While they may have a correct point here or there (equal pay for equal work being one) they were always pushing a hard left agenda.

Indeed- and it's their hypocrisy that turned me away from the democrat party. What we're seeing now might just be creating more republican women than their worst nightmares could ever fathom. Keep up the great work, Jenny!

That is true to an extent,but the type I hear more of it's more an envy thing, they might be working for a living, but somehow have convinced themselves that they're the only ones that work hard and the only reason someone would have more money is the system isn't "fair" in their words, the class envy we're always hearing the Dems stir up, and the hatred of the "rich" (i.e. anyone that earns any more than they do) that goes along with it.

"The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn't been talked about," Palin said as she boarded her plane in Long Beach, Calif. "I think it's fair to talk about where Barack Obama kicked off his political career, in the guy's living room."

Later, at a fundraiser, Palin elaborated on her attack, claiming one of Obama's advisers had described Obama and Ayers as "friendly."

"In fact, Obama held one of his first meetings hoping to kick off his political career in Bill Ayers' living room," she told the crowd, which had just raised $2.5 million for the Republican party's McCain-Palin Victory 2008 fund.

Worse, who has time to listen to a concert when all they want to do is say: "hey it's me, call me back." And also, what about those endless voice mail options you can't opt out of until you've heard each and every one. It seems we're told the world is running at light speed these days.

Obama's farts smell like world peace.....
Ex-defense officials 'recruited' by Jewish pro-Obama group

A Jewish political action committee that supports Barack Obama's bid for the American presidency has "recruited" former senior Israeli defense officials to the campaign by collating flattering statements about the Democratic senator from seven such officials into a new advertisement that will begin running today.
....
Yossi Alpher, a former senior Mossad official, also asserts that McCain would continue Bush's failed policies. In contrast, he says, Obama's stated willingness to hold unconditional talks with Iran offers a fresh, exciting and potentially advantageous approach.
....
Finally, the ad quotes Maj. Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan as saying he believes the next American president must talk with Iran - a statement that implies support for Obama, who also espouses this view, whereas McCain has explicitly rejected it.

However, it seems that some participants were unaware they were aiding an Obama campaign ad. Dayan, for instance, claimed yesterday that he had no idea he was appearing in the ad, that his words had been taken out of context, and that he neither supports nor opposes Obama, as he opposes any Israeli involvement in American politics.
....
Halevy also denied ever having expressed support for Obama. "I said he's a fresh, interesting personality and so forth, but I also said positive things about McCain," Halevy said. "I told them I thought it was inappropriate for an Israeli to express an opinion on who should be president of the U.S. I learned of this only today, and it angers me. I think it was an improper use of the interview with me, and I will demand that they correct it."

"Dems even have President Eisenhower's granddaughter, a "Soviet" specialist, supposed Republican, named Susan Eisenhower, shilling for Obama.

"Liberals have especially encouraged liberal women to attack Sarah Palin. The fact liberal women attack Sarah Palin with such gusto shows how feminism is meaningless."

Susan Eisenhower works for CSIS which is a supposed "respectable" think tank. She deserves everything she gets if the Obamination wins - God Forbid!

He was supposed to be snakefood. Mr P didn't get that memo. He attacked the snake. So son #1 rescued him from the petstore. Mr P then proceeded to terrorize his roommate's cat. He now hops around our house (Son's new landlord doesn't allow rabbits) and actually has chased one of our 4 cats up the stairs. And he isn't afraid of our big old husky-shepherd or our younger mutt dog either!

I believe that most of the MSM propaganda is generated in Hollywood and then propagates like a ripple from a rock being dropped in a body of water.

Hollywood is so biased and self-centered they blatantly spew lies knowing that there will be no repercussions – such as losing their jobs.

That must change.

I was doing some construction work in South West Los Angeles and I happened to notice two rotund girls discussing a term paper in gated area of the complex (This area is fairly run-down and has a gang problem so college girls are somewhat unusual).

I ask the two girls what they were studying (one was Caucasian and the other was Hispanic).

The Caucasian girl said she had just got her certificate in counseling or psychology at Los Angeles Southwest College and was taking classes to an Associate degree. She said she was taking political science 101, Psych 305, and so other classes.

I said, “Good for you.” She then said she had learned a lot about the political parties and how California has the largest amount of electoral votes.

I said, “You sound fairly smart.”

She went on. “The democrats are for the people. The republicans are for the rich people… Did you know that the largest amount of Rapists is white men?”

I said, “Oh really”

The Hispanic girl chimed in, “You know Bundy and all of them were all white.”

The Caucasian girl then said “I can’t even imagine Palin being President. McCain is so old he probably will die in office.”

The Hispanic girl said “Yeah, he is too old. Obama is the one.”

At that point I just had to ask: “How many states are there in the United States?”

The Caucasian girl announced, “Fifty-two”

The Hispanic girl hesitated and quizzically asks: “I am not sure. How many are there?”

I said, “Experts say fifty” (trying not to insult them).

The Caucasian girl replies, “I was pretty close!”

At point I felt it best to change to subject to popular Hollywood actors. They seemed to be much more at home with that subject.

Gad, the left really has a hammer lock on California.

Wow. I just found the answer to my own question:

• • •  When AP labels a political story “analysis,” what does that mean?   • • •
The tag “analysis” signals that a story reflects the judgment of the reporter about the meaning of an event. It is an effort to explain why or how something happened or what its long-term significance might be. These judgments must be based on reporting and historical experience. They are not, under any circumstances, opinions.

Apparently Palin speaks at a more advanced level than a sophisticated senior Senator.

via the Corner "From CNN:
An analysis carried out by a language monitoring service said Friday that Gov. Sarah Palin spoke at a more than ninth-grade level and Sen. Joseph Biden spoke at a nearly eighth-grade level in Thursday night's debate between the vice presidential candidates."

And faster:

How many words did each candidate speak in the debate?
Sara Palin: 7,734
Joe Biden: 7,419

SEXISM WATCH: Report all Media Oinks Here

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

I want to start a thread here asking everyone to report all media sexist digs at either Sarah Palin or Hillary Rodham Clinton, so we can organize fast and massive responses to the sexism this time around. You will see the media attack Palin, and the DNC will organize continued attacks against Hillary Clinton and attempt to blame her when Obama loses.

Report, in as much detail as you can, sexist digs you witness. Link any videos you have. Report the name of the report, media source (MSNBC, NYT, CNN, etc.) and any details you remember.

I'll post media contact info as appropriate (and you can also find it elsewhere on the board).

We already have one thread reporting a CNN incident, but I'd like to collect them here so we can organize responses.

re: #47 Sharmuta

No- they did the same thing to her- just ask the PUMAs. Sexism is OK in the msm's book.

The reason the MSM turned on the Hildebeast is because they got in the tank for their new preferred oppressed-class candidate NObama. BHO has better socialist bonafides in their eyes, the better to tear the fabric of this country asunder...they have to hide those socialist bonafides from the proles (us) because they know the average American would never vote a hardline socialist in as POTUS, but there's no doubt that he's their man and they'll defend him as best as they can in order to elevate him to ultimate power.

I liken the MSM's dumping of Hillary and pickup of Obama as the Dem standard bearer to the introduction of New Coke back in the 1980s, but just like with New Coke, the newness and shininess eventually wears off and the public will clamor for the "classic" candidate, one that just works and not just all about change for change's sake.

Obama = New Coke

re: #267 MrPaulRevere

Sharmuta, I never for one minute thought women like Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug or Jane Fonda were genuine feminists. While they may have a correct point here or there (equal pay for equal work being one) they were always pushing a hard left agenda.

All you really need to know about modern 'Feminism' and those pretenders like Fonda that subscribe to it sprand from the writings and philosophy of Betty Friedan...

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

From the Wikipedia article...


Daniel Horowitz’s a labor journalist and author has created works that have been greatly influenced by Betty Friedan than any other individual. Daniel Horowitz book, "Betty Friedan and the Making of "The Feminine Mystique"" studies Friedan’s life and feminism. In his book he focuses on Friedan’s appearance into feminism.4 Horowitz is also trying to explain how thorough and deep Friedan’s engagement was with women’s issue before she began to work on her book, The Feminine Mystique.5 Horowitz argues that Friedan’s feminism did not start in the 1950’s but rather before that in the 1940’s

What the article doesn't tell you, is that in the 1940's, before Friedan kicked off the '2nd Wave' of Feminism(the first being the woman's suffrage movement) that her work was actually in Marxism. The woman is a Gramscian Communist, and hence today her ideological forbears are largely a bunch of raving Marxists too. Feminism is only a wedge issue to push Leftist politics and has been since Friedan lit the fuse on the powder keg that eventually went up in the '60's 'Counter Culture'. That name really says it all though. That her movement wrought some good in society is purely accidental, and counter productive to the overall goal.

Friedan never would have wanted equal pay for equal work. She would have wanted to put the means of production in the hands of the worker, to destroy the Capitalist system that oppresses everyone including women, and to topple the hegemony of Western Civilization altogether.

What problem did Obama have with Hillary?

The Obama people, in the primary caucuses, turned Hillary voters away from Caucus locations, gave them wrong directions, and intimidated Hillary voters.

The PUMAs are also mega pissed that Obama dissed Hillary throughout the primary, namely by saying "I guess you're likable enough, Hillary", and then proceeded to flip her off in front of millions (scratching his face with his middle finger while he was answering a question in a debate after she had just zinged him)

If Hillary had 18 million voters in the primary, and if the CNN poll numbers are correct that only 58 percent of Hillary voters are planning to vote for Obama, that's millions of voters who will be voting Mac/Sarah.

And there are dozens and dozens of PUMA sites. Go to the Hillary Clinton Forum link above and check out "Hillary Links" and "JSND Network" links at the top of the page.

It's quite eye opening.

"If Obama loses his bid for the presidency, there may be little change in children's attitudes, but it could fuel their perception that American voters are racially prejudiced," she said.
"In contrast, if Obama wins children may believe that exclusionary laws and racial prejudice no longer shape the outcomes of the presidential elections."

Sort of on the same lines, he deployed when my second baby was about 9 months old, and returned 5 months later (I don't remember where he even went for that mission, it was in 1999). Anyway, he got back in around midnight and the baby woke up. I held her and brought her out to the couch where he was sitting, and she clung to my neck, you could just see the hurt in his eyes. Then she looked at him for a minute and reached those little baby arms out to him, I still cry when I think about it! For the next few weeks she refused to let any one but Daddy hold her when he was home - I think she was so scared he was going to disappear again!

Fast forward to now (she is 10). AH's best friend just deployed to Iraq (he is an ortho surgeon). Our daughter asked how long Uncle Ken was going to be gone and we answered 6 months. She said "oh, well that's not bad at all". What a seasoned little Army brat!

I went to a women's college, Smith, which produced two notable feminists: Steinem and Betty Friedan. One semester, they each came to give a talk. The difference was quite noticeable, and it taught me a lot. Steinem focused on what society "owed" women (beyond what rights they had achieved to that date, which were pretty significant). Friedan talked about how women must achieve, be active in traditional male professions, be better at being men than men were, to find their place in a man's world; it had to be earned. I was so convinced by Friedan that my disenchantment with traditional liberal feminism began then and there. Palin exemplifies Friedan's p.o.v. to me.

(I have other issues with Friedan, but that difference in their attitudes was also important in Friedan's feuds with Steinem and NOW.)

"I don't care what you do with me, Brer Fox, says he, "Just so you don't fling me in that briar patch. Roast me, Brer Fox, says he, "But don't fling me in that briar patch."

"It's so much trouble to kindle a fire," says Brer Fox, says he, "that I expect I'd better hang you," says he.

"Hang me just as high as you please, Brer Fox, says Brer Rabbit, says he, "but for the Lord's sake, don't fling me in that briar patch," says he.

"I don't have any string, " says Brer Fox, says he, "Now I expect I had better drown you, " says he.

"Drown me just as deep as you please, Brer Fox," says Brer Rabbit, says he, "But please do not fling me in that briar patch, " says he.

"There's no water near here," says Brer Fox, says he, "And now I reckon I'd better skin you," says he.

"Skin me Brer Fox," says he. "Snatch out my eyeballs, tear out my ears by the roots," says he, "But please, Brer Fox, don't fling me in that briar patch, " says he.

Of course, Brer Fox wanted to get Brer Rabbit as bad as he could, so he caught him by the behind legs and slung him right in the middle of the briar patch. There was a considerable flutter when Brer Rabbit struck the bushes, and Brer Fox hung around to see what was going to happen.

By and by he heard someone call his name and 'way up on the hill he saw Brer Rabbit sitting cross-legged on a chinquapin log combing the tar pitch out of his hair with a chip. Then Brer Fox knew he had been tricked.

Brer Rabbit hollered out, "Born and bred in the briar patch. I was born and bred in the briar patch!" And with that he skipped out just as lively as a cricket in the embers of a fire.

Since we are already in the hole $700B, what's another 7?

re: #189 buzzsawmonkey

Culling wolf packs has been a practice in Alaska for years; Palin did not invent or initiate it. And paying bounty in exchange for a paw has been the accepted way of determining the number of wolves killed. They are hunted from planes because it is safer for the people hunting them; this is not sport, but pest control.

Not that the people attacking Palin would be in favor of the wolf culling if it were done in a "sportsmanlike" way either.

These folks have lived so long in cities they have no concept of what a pack of wolves can do to a herd of cattle. They get a blood lust and will just hamstring every beef they can get. Years ago in Colorado, we used to get $50 for every left ear of a wolf we brought in IIRC.

But then again, these people don't like the herds of beef either do they? Bovine flatulence and GW and all that. And the whole carnivore vs vegetarian thing.

My observation is that their money complaints are almost always about their anger at those who earn a good living. To a liberal, a dollar earned through hard work is evil.

I think the information is better presented this way, than floating around on the internet as the only availability.

The DC bubble also includes DC proper and Maryland (both very blue). Also NYC, Philadelphia, Boston & Chicago...traditionally Blue areas.....and don't forget Hawaii (blue again). If you look at it like that, it 'seems' to be mostly a blue state issue...but, again, I've not seen the statistics.

The AP is doing its best to make sure that you include their stories on your blog. That must part of their new and expanded strategy to demand the attention of those who are driven to fact check and comment on the asinine press.

Meanwhile, note also that the whole Ayers-Obama mess reflects not only on Obama and his failure to address the Ayers relationship and his terrorist history, but that is also an indictment on the Chicago political establishment and academia which had no problem "rehabilitating" Ayers image, even though the only thing Ayers regrets is not carrying out still more bombings and carnage.

Springer will talk to Columbus State students about the importance of making their voices heard in the election. Springer, who served as city councilman and mayor of Cincinnati before starting the Jerry Springer Show in 1991, is a longtime activist for the Democratic Party.

Columbus State hosts political events on a nonpartisan basis, and campaigns have been courting Columbus State students all year.

Oct. 6 is the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 4 presidential election. Early voting is already under way in Ohio, and many have already cast their votes.

Speaking of OH...Rove was on FoxNews Sunday earlier and said that the register-to-vote-and-vote-early-the-same-day thing in OH did not go well: in the three most populous counties, 405 or fewer people took advantage of it. And the busses going to the poll stations were apparently not that full, or they were full of those doing only early voting.

re: #116 buzzsawmonkey

What is so despicable is the role Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) played. Karenga was violent black radical that set-up shop in Cal State Long Beach - which is the head school of the system with the Chancellors Office and all of it’s political powers.

Why didn't CSULB kick Karenga out?

Probably the "Ward Churchill syndrome."

Unfortunately, the City of Long Beach California is part of the Los Angeles area and abuts the infamous gang infested city of Compton California.

Although, the police try to keep gang activity out it seeps into Long Beach through Compton and South Central LA.

If you look at the map you will see a thin phalanx from center of Los Angeles all the way down to the port of Long Beach. Los Angeles politicians realized the value of the port of Long Beach and took about half of it via this odd strip of land that was annexed.

Thus Gang Bangers can travel down this corridor right into Long Beach.

How involved was Karenga in gang activity?

Probably a lot.

Cal State Long Beach administrators knew of him and let him thrive. The rest is history.

"...Karenga founded the Organization Us, a Cultural Black Nationalist group, in 1965. He later became chairman of the black studies department at California State University, Long Beach, a position he held from 1989 to 2002..."

Ayers was never reformed nor has he ever repented. It's poetic justice that his article was printed on September 11, 2001. It's a great injustice he escaped prosecution and prison time for his crimes.

Bill Clinton probably would have pardoned him like he did Ms. Rosenberg and Ms. Evans

In 1985, former Weather Underground members Susan Rosenberg (who also was implicated in the Nyack robbery) and Linda Evans were apprehended while transporting 740 pounds of explosives which they both acknowledged were slated for use in additional bombings. Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison, Evans 40; President Bill Clinton pardoned both women in January 2001.

One Democrat tactic is for one individual to tap the shoulders of 10 people and work to enlist them to the Democrat way of thinking. Those 10 in turn are to tap on 10 new people each and so on.

re: #505 JHW

Your post reminded me of this "Hero" of the USSR. Pavlik Morozov The left knows how to copy the worst things from the past and come up with a few new twists of their own.

The power of myth is formidable.

I had not heard of Pavlick Morozov, but I had heard that there were instances of children denouncing their parents in both The Soviet Union as well as in Nazi' Germany.

A well crafted Myth can inspire people to do things they would otherwise think was crazy.

We do not at present have to worry about the schools turning our kids into the little Pavlick Morozovs. What we have to fear at present is the state, through various agencies such as the schools or our health care system, using our children against us.

Not long ago, it may even still be going on today, physicians were asking children about the firearms that their parents owned. They did it with the best of intentions. The fear the gun more than they fear the loss of their liberties.

That is their way.

One small chip at a time.

Always pushed to the limit of what they can get away with.

And they feel justified and righteous in such things because for the left, the ends justify the means.

And the busses going to the poll stations were apparently not that full, or they were full of those doing only early voting.

Take that, Jennifer Brunner!

Sattv4u

In answer to the above, two threads ago and before I went running, there is only a problem if you equate all forms of discrimination and define them as equally bad. That's a common argument put forward by opponents of affirmative action but it's certainly debatable.

I assume you are opposed to the first amendment then? That is, if you are for Affirmative Action.

I mean, not all forms of discrimination are equally bad, so creating laws that respect certain religions over others while inherently discriminatory isn't inherently wrong? Right?

I mean, Jewish people are more numerous and more successful in America than Muslims, so shouldn't we have some kind of preferrential treatment of Muslims enshrined within our laws to ensure equality between these two religious groups? Since discriminating against a Muslim isn't as 'bad' as discriminating against a Jew, based on quotas in education, population, monetary success, etc.

Then we can go back and do the same thing, and discriminate against the most priveleged, based on the aggregate achievement quotas of their religious identification and not their actual individual success.

Now wait a minute! I think I have a better model. Certain groups are disadvantaged, when looking at arbitrary statistics attributed to an entire race, or belief system. Now that we are thinking clearly and have accepted that discrimination based on racial economic/educational quotas is not inherently wrong, but in fact acceptable, lets try this again.

Lets just drop the whole race and religious classification and discriminate based on quotas in monetary success among the entire population dividing people into 'classes' that are struggling against one another! Now that's the ticket!

That is really the end game for the 'logic' of Affirmative Action.

(Stepping out of hyperbole of my first few paragraphs; don't think that Affirmative Action for Muslims isn't coming, and in part that it isn't already here via backdoor methods.

Latinos already largely don't benefit from Affirmative Action despite being statistically more disadvantaged than blacks, based on Judicial Review that states that the 'spirit of the law was to help black people' so other minorities need not apply.

Muslims who are above the national average on educational and financial achievements must be propped up to show 'solidarity with the Palestinians' according to Leftist theology.)

"Liberal arts" is not synonymous with "liberalism"--though there certainly are more than enough leftists to go around in Hyde Park. There is, however--or used to be--enough reality impinging upon the neighborhood from the surrounding ghetto areas to enable many people to transcend leftist indoctrination.

Try to make a living majoring in any of the "liberal arts." While it doesn't necessarily have to lead to liberalism, chances are, it will.

Horsefeathers. All racism is discrimination but not all discrimination is racism. In order to be racism it has to be pejorative and prejudicial to the object of the discrimination. Got it? It's going to be on the test.

So you ARE against the 1st Amendment's seperation of Church and State.

When can descrimination (based on race) not be pejorative and prejudicial?

One example: You're casting the title role for a movie titled "The Life of George Washington". Not "pejorative" if you turn away black actors.

It's been my experience that those who invoke the racism charge, are usually practitioners of racism, trying to divert attention from their crimes.

Well, I understand your point, but I don't agree with it. People generally won't vote for Obama because they believe the black race is superior; but a fair number will vote for him, for whatever underlying reason, simply because he's black. Is that any better?

re: #658 Gorgon ZolaOf course, that's my point. There was more to their relationship than that they lived in the same neighborhood and that their kids went to the same school. Obama had his first fundraiser for office at the home of Ayers. He has tried to distance himself from him, but much like the Rev. Wright, it doesn't pass the smell test. We wouldn't have know much about him (Wright) either, if he hadn't been such an egomaniac and had all those videos.

Democrat view on domestic politics:
- domestic terrorists who use literal fire bombs are okay;
- politicians who throw figurative "fire bombs" degrade our "national discussion."

Democrat view on foreign policy:
- literal bombs can never work, and military victory is meaningless;
- Iranian terror-masters who declare that Israel and her allies with "will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury" are just speaking figuratively, and should be engaged in "direct talks."

I'd rather be a fluffy bunny than the half-brained sheep I work for...this is a woman with a "Democrats Vote" sticker on her office door. I have to fight writing "...Often" and "...Even After Death" every day. She's such a genius that our entire business operating expenses are paid by a line of credit from WaMu. When I mentioned I wanted to wait a year or so before buying another house as I believe it will get worse before it gets better, she looked at me and in all seriousness said "But I thought when Obama gets elected it's all going to get better?". Fighting the fluffy bunny urge to rip her face off, I sweetly replied "No, no it's not..."

I certainly wouldn't not vote for someone solely because they are black, I certainly would not vote for them solely because they are.

I've seen productions where white historical or mythological figures have gone to black people. I doubt this was from literal Affirmative Action, but I'm pretty sure it is a clear cut case of 'white guilt' and general politically correct nutjobbery.

Technically Affirmative Action should apply to Hollywood, but it does not.

Speaking of Monty Python, Palin, and sexist treatment of non-left women...

Lady Roommate cued up a re-run of Monty Python this evening to kill some time and during one of the animation segments in between bits, they took a shot at Margaret Thatcher, implying that her brains were in her legs (the skit involved body parts somehow, I haven't seen it in a while and I was only passing through the room when this bit was on).

Apparently Iron Maggie Thatcher, with her master's in Chemistry from Oxford, was an idiot, and that she got ahead with her legs. Now, I've read that she was certainly aware of the political uses of flirting, but to imply that she was dumb?

I was struck by the way things haven't changed any in almost thirty years. Same leftist claptrap, same sexism, same slander. Jeers from the peanut gallery. I know the Pythons were (are!) educated very well themselves, so of course here we had good old elitism at work again. Ends justify the means, and all that.

Disappointing and sad, really. Conservative Woman = Inhuman Idiot, it's that simple for the opposition.

based on equating all types of discrimination that represent nothing but the old anti-black racism rebranded. End of conversation.

What are the types of discrimination that are worse than others, the equating of which with lesser forms represents nothing but the old anti-black racism rebranded?

Perhaps I missed some posts, but what I saw was someone saying they wouldn't vote for, or against, someone based on their skin color. Which I don't see as being shoddy.

I'm being reminded of the argument that people without "power" can't be "racist" thus only whites can be racist, beloved of modern academia.

re: #375 Sol Roth

My advice? Tell all the idiots in your State that borrowing Bushitler's Halliburton bloodmoney isn't good for the Collective Soul and not to take it.
Watch the State go through the agony of massive government layoffs and a collapsed economy. Then be one of the Conservative-Libertarian leaders who helps it bootstrap up from the ashes, reforming itself into the great and productive State it once was
.


I wish it were that easy.

The dems control the state.

They have control over the purse strings and taxation.

The dems ensure that they and their buddies are last to be fired and first to be hired - in both government and companies who do business with the CA government.

I believe most of political control comes from the highly unionized sectors of the CA economy. When the Unions say jump the union employees jump – period.

Further, large pension funds are basically a slush fund for the democrats and the union. This amount of financial fire power is difficult to overcome.

As long as the dems are in control of Calpers they own the cookie jar.

It will be very difficult to dislodge the dems from it – but it probably can be done.


"California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) provides pension fund, healthcare and other retirement services for approximately 1.5 million California public employees. As of October 2007, it owns $254.8 billion worth of stock, bonds, funds, private equity and real estate. It is the largest pension fund in the United States. CalPERS provides benefits to all state government employees and, by contract, to local agency and school employees..."

See: Calpers


The dems are firmly in control of the court system. That means that Gerrymandering will keep them in power until it’s abolished.

“Gerrymandering is a form of redistribution in which electoral district or constituency boundaries are manipulated for electoral advantage.”

See: Gerrymandering

Lastly, the dems are very vindictive.

Remember how they destroyed republican fighter ace Duke Cunningham while turning a blind eye to other dirty dems.


See: Duke Cunningham

If you look at the last two elections, there were quite a few “red” districts. Unfortunately, there were not enough.

Something has to change to break the dem's stranglehold over the state.

I would say the Gerrymandering and the financial grip of the unions would break the dem's grip.

But, that is only hopeful speculation.

The conservatives in CA need help!

Sorry, I walked away from my PC for a bit (late dinner).
No, I don't - I did hear this on one of the shows, there is no doubt about this. I don't want to hear BS from any side.
I'm presuming that a lot of the things I've heard have yet to be substantiated otherwise we would have heard it tonight. Now whats killing me is the next show at 10pm
should have been just as pushed - names are being named
on this show. Real proof is being offered - actual votes cast by Congressman, what W. tried to do about the known looming crisis, who blocked it (guess who), who benefited financially from their vote etc. It was shown who received donations from Mae/Mac. I'm glad I left my VHS recorder running. This report has "teeth". It should boost McCain's ratings if anyone was listening.
Back to the original question - I had heard that Ayres did some "babysitting" for O'Bamas kids. To me, this simple act speaks volumes IF they could produce the proof. Now I'm wondering if the story was true but maybe eye witnesses have refused to come forward ?
Doesn't matter i guess because w/o credible evidence I will no longer repeat the story.I expected to see/hear
some hard evidence. I supplied links to all of what was on tonight weeks ago !

And here in Thailand, the Thai word for 'n*****' (the racial-majority term for humans perceived as members of a specific racial minority) sounds like 'falang', and despite protestations by Thais that the word means/meant 'foreigner', it is never used on Malaysian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or other foreigners, ONLY on Caucasians or those PERCEIVED to be Caucasian...
