Jane Hamsher, the feminazi blogger hired to promote Connecticut Senate candidate Ned Lamont, wrote a piece in The Huffington Post this morning, with this picture of Joe Lieberman painted black. It’s okay though because she is a liberal and after all liberals can’t be racist, right?
I am so sure the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP and the civil rights brigade will be protesting this disgusting use of blackface in political discourse. Oh, wait, never mind. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are campaigning against Lieberman, too.
That’s right, Jesse Jackson and the “Rev.” Al “Not Enough Black Voters” Sharpton will be campaigning for Ned Lamont.
Last year, liberal blogger Steve Gilliard compared Maryland Lt. Gov. and Senate candidate Michael Steele to “Simple Sambo”.

No this is nothing like that, because that was pointing out how someone plays the race card.
Now lets get into the point about the posting. The point is the stereotype around is that only people on the right are racist and people on the left simply cannot be racist. This is showing an example of how people on the left can be racist but simply don’t care because they are on the enlightened left and therefore what they do isn’t racist but rather a commentary on the way things are, which is simply BS. Of course you wouldn’t sense any of this because you don’t bother to think before you go on your hatefilled “open thought and tolerance” left wing diatribe.

Aside from your agreeable comments, the DNC is worried in Connecticut about Joe. And, rightly so, Joe doesn’t care since the DNC showed no loyalty in the first place by not supporting him. They think he’s too much to the right for the left field group. Too much in bed with GWB. Anyway, Joe got tossed overboard by the DNC and felt abandoned at sea. Thrown away like a used condom. True. The DNC came through for Ned Lamont….....WHO?
Ned who?. And besides that, the TV commercial with DailyKosManiacs is just juvenile and borderline high-schoolish.
Anyway, the bottom line is they’re scared in CT that folks will allow the Repub to win.
Ah-h-h-h-h-h. Dissension and disorganization in the DNC.
Go Israel.

But don’t you know? The liberal elite continuosly brainwash African Americans to believe that the Dems are fighting for them, when in reality, they’re fighting to keep minorities poor. Because, you know, minorities lack the mental capaicty to realize who actually fights for them and who fights against them.
Yeah, if I actually believed that, I guess I would be a racist, wouldn’t I?

i am going to have to disagree with you there, i wouldn’t say the dems are showing who is fighting for them, i would say the dems are the ones giving them the free hand outs. Thus by relying upon free hand outs they stay poor. Where as the right believes the only way not to make yourself poor is to work your way out of it. But then it gets into a mentality of who is good for me now, or who is good for me later, and that is why minorities keep going dem.
Although that was a bit racist to imply before in your statement that if you are a minority then you must be poor.

While we are on the topic of HATE, the Loony Liberals are fractured over the Hezbo/Israeli war.
There is a huge significant segment of Liberals that think Israel is the bad guys with their “proportionate response” bullshit.
You know there will be a moral dilemma come election time for many Jews. Demo’s are NO friend to Israel.

No the minorities vote Democrat because the Democrats are all about giving handouts. If there was a political party that wanted to give handouts to anybody of European heritagei bet that anybody of European heritage would vote for them too.
I know…i know….what handouts am i talking about?
How about the point system used to get into universities in this country. You get a awarded points according to your GPA, testscore, legacy (family members that attended the university), and RACE.
Which means YES. It is true being of a minority race can get you admitted to a university over a non-minority person even if you are less qualified.
That means you were handed a “handout”.
And this is why they vote Democrat.
And if they deserve this “handout” when will they finally have it taken away form them? When they do finally have it taken away from them there will be an entire caste of society where for generations they have grown up knowing that they are already ahead of the game because there are legal benefits for being a minority.
Not to mention Affirmative Action makes an issue out of race even when there isn’t one.
“Little Johnny you are growing up in a racist world. All those white people you see hate you. That is why we have this thing called Affirmative Action helping us out. And remember little Johnny all white people hate you because you are black, brown, yellow etc.”
“And remember little Johnny that if you end up not doing as well as your white peers. But don’t let that make you want to try harder, heavens no. It’s only because they hate you little Johnny. Just remember that white people hate you and that Affirmative Action will fix everything and it’ll all be okay.”

You just equated being black with getting free handouts and now you’re pointing out someone else’s supposed racism, when they were hypothetically positing an argument they didn’t agree with? I’ll put this in certain terms for you. You’re a bigot. Most black Americans are in the middle class and above. Shocker, huh?

Wow, someone else just made the same argument. Keep talking like this, guys, and see how many black folks are coming into your camp. Bigots.

I don’t believe i ever used the term black, i said minorities, and i even made the point of poor minorities, which could mean anything. Check again, never once did i use the term black or african american, why must i be talking about them when i am talking about poor minorities? But you obviously labeled the poor minorities as black. I’ll put this in certain terms for you. You’re a bigot.
Also yes black class increases and home ownership has skyrocketed under the current administration. Lets see to about 58% now i believe for black homeownership.

Rapstar,
Please excuse the haste of this post. I cannot remember where I saw this particular statistic, but it was dealing with the mean income of American’s by certain sects. As a whole the mean was about 32k a year. Jewish people were about 41k while black people were around 24k a year. I particularly remember the Jewish one as being the highest average and the black one as being the lowest. The point to this? Most black Americans, by definition, cannot be at or above the middle class. That’s like saying that 75% of people have above average intelligence. Also, this is meant to point out the difference in wages between groups and to show you that because the mean income for blacks is that much lower than the average, blacks have the ability to participate in more social programs – thus leading to their democratic voting record.
PS - and kudos to the bigot card use.

Right….you keep on buying your votes. And if it isn’t a handout what is it?
You are black, so you get this.
Why can’t you call it what it is?
C’mon Eminem don’t you have a better arguement than you are a bigot?
Explain why everybody person who happens to not be white should get special consideration. How about you send me some links about how my ancestors were assholes.
The fact is that Affirmative Actions perpetuates racism. Not everybody is racist, and Affirmative Action makes it an issue even when it isn’t one. Maybe by 2350 or so we can get rid of it? Or would it still be racist by then too?
And believe it or not there are black people who don’t think Affirmative Action is a good program. And some of them are famous like Bill Cosby. But he is a bigot too. Because if you think Affirmative Action is bad you are inherently a bigot.

I’m actually white, but thank you for making another assumption. And here’s another shocker for you…i’m against affirmative action.
You are a bigot b/c you equated being a minority with getting handouts. Not only is that not an accurate reflection of reality, it says a lot about your assumptions about minorities. End of story.
And that goes for you too, Bob.

I didn’t equate being a minority with anything.
I simply stated the idea of Affirmative Action. That is the reason for its existence.
And i wasn’t calling you black. I didn’t think you were black. I had no reason to think you were black. That’s why i called you “Eminem” if you read my earlier posts again.

i keep rereading my original post and i dont see where i say all minorities are poor and on free hand outs, maybe you can show me where i said it, and after that you can make monkeys fly out of your butt. But anyways Zim came much closer to saying what you are implying than i did, however i guess zim could say it because he is a liberal therefore it is a joke, and i can’t because you don’t agree with me therefore it must be racist, which was my original point in my original post all along. Aren’t you the champion of compassion and free thought.

He was responding to YOUR (sarcastic) statement about Democrats “keeping minorities poor”. He did not make any assumptions that you did not provide in your own argument.
It’s right there, you wrote: “You are black, so you get this.”
He also called you Eminem, genius.

The simple truths are these:
1. It was wrong to paint Liberman in black face and it was ‘racist!”
2. The Democrats through social welfare programs and quotas have said in effect. ‘if you are a minority we believe you do not have the necessities to improve your conditions on your own; and so we will give you handouts and preferential treatment, enslaving most of you to they welfare state. Being thus enslaved the rob monorities of the incentives to rise above poverty. Further, if one party is known for giving you money for doing nothing, then it makes sense you will vote your pocketbook and that means Democrat.
The Republicans believe in giving minorities and anyone on poverty short term support and all the tools they need to succeed on their own initiative, because we believe they are not inferior to anyone.
One of these policies is racist and the other is not!
3. If a Trent Lott makes an innocent statement about an old man on his birthday that things would have been better if he had been elected President; then even though no racist terms were used or implied, solely because he is a Republican he is a racist and must lose his leadership position and be condemned. If a Democrat paints a white Jew’s face black to score political points for Liebermann’s opponent, then because they are Democrats it cannot possibly be racist. That is a double-standard.

Shush… Adults are talking here.
Everyone knows that the Democratic party is all about the subjugation of minorities for a vote getting scheme.
The systematic elimination of the need for, and the systematic replacement of the black male figure in black society. It is not a matter or “helping” minorites, it is a matter of keeping a voting mass of them stuck in a perpetual state of poverty, dependent on the state for existence.
Slavery in it’s pre-civil war state was morally wrong and a stain on the American historical image, but it was open about it’s intentions and did not hide.
The Democrats, on the other hand, promote a “slavery” that has a hidden agenda of nothing more then the ability to score votes with no intention of helping or making the lives of those under it better.
That is Vile and Disgusting and Leftists should be ashamed of it, but as shame is a moral state, they ultimately cannot be.

Jane Hamster still deserves a bitch-slap for being party to the ruination of a great original script (you can read it on line) so badly that even Tarantino disavowed the movie. NBK is the worst rendition of a Tarantino script in existance, and it could have been a great movie. Stone, Hamster et al had to try to convert it into some kind of twisted liberal message about media, crime, celebrity and other crap that basically, liberals are part and parcel of the problem.

Really? And they still vote for us 90% of the time. They must REALLY hate you to be getting into bed with us.Please. The Dems have championed a failed welfare/government job state to keep blacks on the Democrat Plantation.The general reason 100% of Iraqis used to vote for Hussein is the same reason (but not quite the same means otherwise it would also be 100%) 92% of the black vote for Dems – a constant message of FEAR.The Left is by fact of the very position it supports – affirmative action – racist. The Left also is bigoted via institutionalized preference programs that award members of groups while punishing affected individuals.It is so clear to me nowadays that the left is going to violently split apart to the detriment of all leftist factions. The left instills such doomsday rhetoric that it actually depresses voter turnout, certainly for the 18-29 yr. set, by creating feelings of hopelessness.
