Obama couldn’t sell watermelons

March 9th, 2010 | No Comments

That’s what Dan Rather said. Now, I would have said “ice to an eskimo”, or “s**t to farmer”. But, that would be stereotyping. In Chris Matthews minds, connecting a black man to watermelons is nothing to blink an eye at. Some people will fein shock and horror at Dan for being so, well, obvious. Me, [...]

Spencer Bachus and the seventeen socialists

April 11th, 2009 | 6 Comments

Spencer Bachus recently commented that he thought Obama was getting pushed too far to the left by some members of Congress: But he said he is worried that he is being steered too far by the Congress: “Some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists.” Asked to clarify his comments [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s derivatives lie

October 29th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Nancy Pelosi famously denied Democrats had any responsibility for the financial crisis that we are dealing with right now.  She stills sticks with that fantasy.  However, I don’t think too many people believe her.  Today the Washingtonwatch blog listed the members of Congress who voted for the 2000 Consolidated Appropriations Act which allowed trading credit [...]

First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson: “See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a [...]

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. [...]

Jesse Jackson wants Obama to be blacker

September 19th, 2007 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

Whose side are the Dems on anyway?

From Wiki: In the early hours of December 9, 1981, around 3:51 AM, Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) officer Daniel Faulkner was shot and killed during an altercation that ensued from a routine traffic stop of a vehicle driven by William Cook, Abu-Jamal’s younger brother. In the trial the prosecution successfully argued that the following events [...]
