Liberal Media Gives Black Racism From The WH A Pass. Just when we think the liberal media's hypocrisy could not be more blatant, they kick it to the next level. They have obviously abandoned any pretense of fair and honest reporting. OK, we get it. Their template is “Conservatives suck”, kill them “politically”. Minorities are “angels”, victims of a racist America controlled by rich white guys. Folks, if you understand this mindset, you understand the liberal media's coverage of the Tea Party and their blatant ignoring of racism coming from the Left. And let me just say this. Not only does the liberal media and the Left ignore black racism, they encourage it. I'm black. The Left verbally beats me up all the time for not resenting America and for not even harboring a low level hatred of whites. They diagnose us black conservatives with having Stockholm Syndrome. I know I should not be surprised, but I am stunned by the latest example of the liberal media, for the most part, ignoring a huge story about racism because the perpetrator is black. Attorney General, Eric Holder, basically admitted he is not the attorney general of “all” Americans. Holder gives blacks special preference. Wow, we blacks have a “homey” in the White House. The new Black Panther Party is guilty of voter intimidation in Philadelphia. Obama refuses to press charges against the new Black Panthers; now get this folks, because they are black. Attorney General, Eric Holder, who is black, told the House Appropriations subcommittee that the New Black Panther voter intimidation case demeans “my people.” Holder went on to explain that the suffering of African Americans seeking the right to vote in the South in the 60s far surpasses the intimidation white voters recently endured in Philadelphia. So much for any pretense of Obama dispensing equal justice to all Americans. Folks, we're talkin' Affirmative Action justice. Can you imagine what would happen to a white politician using the term, “my people”? A visual of a white guy covered in tar and feathers running for his life appeared in my mind. Folks, the Attorney General of the United States said he is not going to pursue certain criminal charges against blacks because of past racism in America. And the liberal media, for the most part, says hoe hum, no problem. I have been a voice crying in the wilderness about this for years. Racism is evil. So, why is racism when perpetrated by blacks acceptable and even applauded? On HBO's Def Comedy Jam TV show, black comedians trashing white America was a staple. Had a white comic told just one of the same jokes inserting the word “black”, the insensitive white racist SOB comic's career would be over. A sycophant liberal media giving black racist comedians a pass is of little consequence. But, when the liberal media gives the black Attorney General of the United States a pass for his racism, Houston we have a serious problem. We the People are challenged by insidious enemies within; a racially bias Obama administration and liberal media; both hellbent on “fundamentally transforming America” with the implementation of their progressive/socialist agenda. They MUST be defeated. As Vice Chair of The Campaign to Defeat Obama in 2012, I sincerely covet your support. We are gathering “One Million People To Defeat Barack Obama 2012”. Please join us!

Dude was ridiculous, that's the only way I can describe him. I asked what he disliked about the administration and all he rambled was talking points "Less spending" etc. Actually, the entire day that's all I heard, but never a way to fix it our problems. Highlight of the day? Snapping pictures of whoever the MC was yelling about how the counter protesters, some 10 democrats over on the edge of the soccer field had the wrong opinions because "THERE ARE MORE OF US THEN THERE ARE OF THEM!" I drank heavily that night.

Edit: This is a bit less relevant now that davidb is no longer posting here. If mods want it deleted, please let me know.freebooter posted:I don't think it's particulaly outrageous to say that Islam, in general, is a harsher and more uncompromising religion than Christianity. This is a result of the specific character of the cultures in which Islam is embedded, not of Islam itself. There are plenty of moderate Muslims in the US and elsewhere. It can be hard to separate a religion from the culture of its practitioners, particularly when both the culture and the religion are foreign to the observer. That may sound like liberal apologism and "cultural relativism" to you, and to some extent, it is relativism. But cultural relativism isn't "let 'em do whatever," it involves understanding the context of practices and beliefs of other cultures within their own belief structure, rather than superimposing your own over it and interpreting it all based on foreign values. quote:edit - I'm not saying Islam is an evil religion populated by woman-hating monsters, I just do think it's generally the strictest and most patriarchal of all the major religions. I find it odd how liberal atheists (which I am, and which I'm sure many other posters in this thread are) will attack Christianity yet defend Islam simply because they perceive it to be the underdog. They both suck. It's not a question of defending behavior or a religion that's an "underdog." But you're equating cultural practices with an entire religion, and that's not how it works. he culture in which the religion is practiced is affecting the way in which the religion is practiced. As was noted, look at some of the Christian practitioners in a variety of African nations. Or how about the practice of female circumcision? This is not an Islamic practice; it's a practice with a deep history that precedes Islam, but it's been co-opted by practitioners of Islam in some parts of Africa and Asia.

Has there really been a clerical error or are the Republicans being deliberately obtuse in interpreting the maths? From what Sebelius says it sounds like Obamacare will save $500bn by being more efficient than medicare, with all the existing medicare patients covered for less money?

No offense, but I hope your roommate isn't a math teacher. 90 kids for 2 hours each is equivalent to 30 kids for 6 hours each. That was an awesome facebook post, but I don't like the way it sort of cedes the 'teachers only work 6 hours and get half the year off' point, even for the sake of argument. It's an absurd, bullshit point that conservatives seem to be throwing around now, and it pisses me off every time I hear it; as if teachers go home and sip martinis all afternoon rather than grading papers and preparing lesson plans. One friend of mine is a 5th grade teacher and he easily works 65+ hours per week (not to mention all the work that is done in his supposedly "free" summer). I hate to lend any credence to that idea.

People making $250,000+/year are struggling in this economy and can't bear the burden of increased taxes. People making $50,000/year are clearly highly overpaid and are just whining. What do they have to complain about? They're rich.

If you concede everything that is being claimed as a reason that they should be paid less, and still are able to demonstrate that teachers are woefully underpaid, the social instinct of 'truth somewhere in the middle' starts to work for you. Plus, you can then point out that said concessions are, in fact, bull.

You accept all the moronic premises the other side lays out, and prove that even then they are wrong. The result is not only showing that they other side's conclusions are wrong, but that their premises are also wrong and/or misguided. It isn't conceding the argument at all, it's proving that it's worse than just wrong, it's irrelevant.

I know this is contributing to a derail, but my in-laws are a spectacle in this regard. $500k plus a year combined, $2.5mil custom home (on a hill nonetheless)and I've sat with them on their porch, wine and cigar in hand, while they whine about how much they pay in taxes, and subsequently point to areas where the "welfare queens", who live off said taxes, take up residence. To quote my mother-in-law, "...and then we have to drive by those loving places on our way to work". Funny story though, just this weekend my wife got a call from Mom, and she was complaining about how our state is making huge cuts in public healthcare assistance,which will apparently gently caress them over since a sizeable chunk of their patients are on the program. I honestly don't believe she could see the irony.

This is TRUE! How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001... Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California. After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York , Pennsylvania , and the Pentagon. On September 11th, A Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this treacherous attack. The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him, 'Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again'. The employee walked in, to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother to call for a delivery again. Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County handled this situation. And Now The Rest Of The Story: It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. Pepsi called his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!!! That would include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed suit! At last report, on June 26, 2009, Fareed Katib closed the store and filed bankruptcy! Good old American Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin! Pass this along, America needs to know that we're all working together! If you can read this. Thank a teacher... If you are reading it in English.... THANK A SOLDIER!!!
