When in doubt, whip out that race card

Posted by Moonage on 10 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Racism

Spike Lee has an issue with Clint Eastwood’s “Flags of Our Fathers“.  Now, the issue is that according to Lee, Eastwood didn’t include any blacks.  Eastwood’s argument is there weren’t any at this particular event, the flag raising.  Now, they are both right.  Eastwood could have given them a parting shot just to acknowledge they [...]

Geoff Davis and that boy

He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama.
“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear [...]

Obama on small town America

Posted by Moonage on 12 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Racism

“Our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives,” he said. “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them.

Bridging the racial divide?

Posted by Moonage on 18 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Racism

A lot is being made over Obama’s dealing with his pastor’s comments.  Now, here’s where the big problem is in my opinion.  You’re going to have to bear with me while I kind of lay it out.  The Obama camp jumped all over Hillary Clinton for being associated with someone they perceived as being racist [...]

The Trinity United Church of Christ of Chicago isn’t happy with the media coverage of their former Reverend Jeremiah Wright.  Here’s a couple of snippest of what he said that has drawn the heat:
Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single-parent home; Barack was,” Wright says in a video of the sermon posted [...]

My little town makes national news!

Posted by Moonage on 03 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Racism

I live in a very small town in very rural southern Kentucky. We don’t do a lot of newsworthy stuff here. However, I was rather shocked to see we had made national news, at least on Fox:
Skeletal Remains Found in Kentucky May Be Those of Former Slaves
Skeletal remains found during construction in south-central Kentucky may [...]

Nancy Pelosi condemns Joe Biden

Posted by Moonage on 26 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Racism

That’s the headline you won’t see.  This is what I’m referring to:
Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What [...]

Jesse Jackson wants Obama to be blacker

Posted by Moonage on 19 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Racism

Jesse Jackson blasted Barack Obama because Obama hasn’t brought attention to a racial incident in Jena, Louisiana.  Jesse’s claim is that Barack is “acting white” by not making it the centerpiece of his campaign right now.  This is so typical Jesse Jackson it’s sickening to me.  Racial tensions reached a loggerhead in the 60’s, when [...]

Here’s the situation:

Two guys are found near a military base, loaded up with pipebombs ( or something like them ).

When is the race card appropriate?

Wesley Snipes got busted by the IRS for refusing to pay taxes for six years. Now, every sane person knows you have to pay your taxes in the United States. Some people pander to those not quite so sane, like Douglas Rosile and Eddie Kahn, who convinced Snipes not to pay his taxes. [...]
