Eric Holder gives a shoutout to "nation of cowards"

February 19, 2009

Just one more example of The Double Standard. It has reached a point of absolute hilarity. Stereotypical whitey jokes, redneck jokes, white trash jokes are told in great abundance in all sorts of affected voices by blacks and nothing gets said. But all hell breaks lose in the other direction.

There is an abundance of video, print and audio evidence of how barry used The Double Standard to get elected. He used the race card at every turn - the pro-barry press a more than willing advocate. He used it to get the black vote behind him in South Carolina and he kept using it to exploit white guilt. And when he got called out using the race card--it took three denials until he actually admitted to it--he accused McCain supporters of yelling "Kill him".

Mr Uniter left The American People he is always talking about but never to with that as the final thought in the final debate. He let The American People that he claimed to want to bring together believe that it was true when it was a complete and utter lie--proven by his own Secret Service--that could never be taken back.

And it is something that Mr Integrity has still never publicly apologized for.

Words clearly do not matter to barry.

He did not become president because blacks "came out in record numbers" to vote for Change! themselves - he is president because a nation of cowards voted for him.

A cartoon of a dead monkey calls for outrage - but a "Too Bad Hillary Didn't Marry OJ" t-shirt does not.

An effigy of barry is discovered and he gets a personal apology within hours. An effigy of Governor Palin with a noose around her neck and hands tied behind her back is allowed to hang for three weeks and is passed off as "art".

REV LOWERY: "when white will embrace what is right"

JOHN RIDLEY: “Are you black enough to be part of all this?"

Now it's Attorney General, Eric Holder's turn. A man whose family hails from Barbados, a man who was initially given a job by that evil racist President Clinton and a man who received an elite education is coming forward talking about frank discussions about race and the need for changes in the way American History is taught.

What is it he has been doing?

Why is he only know bringing this up?

He says he was inspired by barry's politically expedient speech.

So how meaningful are his words?

HOLDER: To get to the heart of this country, one must examine its racial soul.

Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as a ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.

...[Race] is an issue we have never been at ease with and given our nation's history this is in some ways understandable.

And yet, if we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us.

And who exactly is to change our nation's history?

What's in it for the cowards?

Mr Holder has an American History and Law degree. He is arguably one of the most high profile Clinton Administration personnel. So, if this issue has been so pressing to him, what has he personally done since the Clinton Administration? How many curricula has he demanded be changed? How has he worked to bring about change--himself?

How much campaigning do you think he did for barry?

And how are--why are--cowards to "feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations" when the one saying these words wasn't honest enough or comfortable enough or frank enough about his connections with newly impeached Gov Blagojevich?

Words don't matter?

What has Mr Transcender of Race done?

Gave one teleprompter race speech where he equated a raging, hate-spewing, anti-American racist "man of God" with his typical white person grandmother just to save his own skin - the white part of which he had refused to acknowledge until that day. Suddenly, when Mr Political Expedience needed the whiteys again, he became "biracial" not black.

And to offset the ignorant vitriol screamed by his spiritual mentor of 20 years - which whiteys can't understand because they haven't been to black churches - he told an uncorroboratable story about his typical white person grandmother. The selfless woman, who had raised him when his alcoholic polygamous father completely abandoned him as trash for Harvard and another white woman, the woman whose final birthday he could not stay to celebrate, the woman whose funeral he could not find time enough to attend, the woman whose coworkers were outraged by his insinuations that she was a racist he equated to a man who raged from the pulpit that Michelle Obama's predecessor "ain't never been called a nigger" and that the government was responsible for AIDS and the single greatest act of terrorism committed against American where 2973 innocent women, men, wifes, husbands, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, Catholics, Jews, Hindis, Muslims, Christians, Americans and foreign nationals were murdered by savages, who were incited by a similar deranged man of hate similarly using the Word of God as his justification.

Forget politics - what does this say about barry as a human being?

As a father of two girls who are 1/4 white and who are that typical white person's great grandchildren?

As a son and grandson who was not at his mother's or grandmother's side when they died?

What does it say about him as a brother that he allowed his sister, who had cared for that typical white person who had raised him while he lived free of filial responsibility, to bury and mourn for his typical white person grandmother all by herself - with not support or caring hand - when he had more than the means to be by her side?

How many typical white persons have a biracial grandson as President of the United States?

How many typical white person cowards voted for the man who said that about his typical white person grandmother?

And how many typical non-white persons did not vote for barry?

8 MILLION eligible black voters could not be bothered to register to vote for the first biracial president.

8 MILLION - 1/3 of eligible black voters - did not even bother to help bring about Change!

And there was just a 3% increase in the black vote after 8 years of Bush and with barry in line to be president.

Cowards?

Whose job, responsibility, mandate or whatever is it to change the way history is taught?

The cowardly folks having frank discussions at the kitchen table and then not voting because they "didn't think a black man could win"?

Or the other cowards who got out there and voted?

If one wants change, one must take the first step by oneself and it sure the hell didn't happen this election.

That is the frank discussion that needs to happen.

How often did the black pundits who talked about race race race every day day day mention the lack of black voter turnout?

Plenty of whiteys are bitter racists who won't vote for a black man ranting...but when those bitter whiteys volunteered, registered, campaigned and voted for barry - there wasn't a single word about the blacks who did not volunteer, who did not campaign, who did not voter or the 8 million who couldn't find the time to vote for the first biracial president in history.

Why?

Because there would be no cowards to blame.

Quote of the day: "Are you black enough to be part of all this?"

December 26, 2008

Morning Joe

Mika is introducing folks and Joe cut in and said John Ridley is here.

JOE: Sometimes he's got a beard - sometimes he doesn't have a beard.

MIKA: He always looks good, Joe.

Ridley smiling.

MIKA: He's always dressed nicely. And he's groomed. You outta take a lesson from him.

JOE: Why don't you just call him articulate. We're going into a territory, John Ridley, that we don't want to go...Mrs Biden.

RIDLEY: Storybook, man. We're looking back on the year - it's ok to bring that back up again.

Mika was referring to Joe's scruffiness and lack of grooming and manners and Joe morphed it into the Biden comments on Obama being clean and bright and articulate.

RIDLEY: Starting in 2009 that might be the question everyone asks: Are you black enough to be part of all this?

Note that Ridley was not a barry fan at the beginning.

[...]

JOE: What do you think we'll be talking about this time next year?

RIDLEY: What a fantastic job Barack Obama has done.

RIDLEY: You have Geraldine Ferraro saying he's just a lucky black man.

JOE: Can you admit one thing? Because Geraldine Ferraro was compared to David Duke for saying that in some ways his race helped him. A lot of people think race helped him...

RIDLEY: But you can also--you look at all the people who were at these rallies saying 'Kill Him'. I mean people yelling 'Kill him, he's a terrorist'.

JOE: Aw, c'mon, John

RIDLEY: Joe, what a second. Did that not happen, Joseph Scarborough?

JOE: Kill him?

RIDLEY: Joe, it happened.

No it absolutely did not.

And how did anything those folks might have said mattered? They were never going to vote for barry.

JOE: I guarantee you Barack Obama had no more people yelling kill him at a rally as I do every time I walk through a democratic rally. Shouting at me. Come on. That's such a cop out.

RIDLEY: Joe, it happened. Joseph.

No it absolutely did not.

Back and forth.

RIDLEY: Listen, just because George Bush got a shoe thrown at him at the end of the year - that means nothing, Joe Scarborough. For many of us race did not take a vacation turning this.

He's comparing an assault on the POTUS by an Arab in Iraq with comments that never happened. How would he feel if it was barry having shoes thrown at him? Would it mean absolutely nothing?

And what are the chances barry would have stayed hidden behind the podium? The Secret Service would have hauled him away...willingly.

HEILEMAN: There was no question it was a plus in driving African American turnout. That was a big deal in a number of states that Obama won that he would never have won without that happening. Places like North Carolina.

Black enough to be part of it?

Black voter turnout increased 2%. That is all. 2% and it went up 1% from 2000-2004. Eight million eligible black voters did not bother to register to vote for the first black POTUS. The black vote did not win barry the presidency. Helped in the primary with the race-baiting but that's it.

RIDLEY: I think Barack Obama will be the most American president we have ever had. From Hawaii, biracial, made himself in Chicago. Went back and became a community organizer and really ran for the people. He's the most American president.

Do they even hear themselves?

Parts of the US are not more patriotic than others?

Really ran for the people?

The most American president we have had is the most ridiculously arrogant comment of this election season...next to the black enough to be part of this.

What has he actually DONE? Absolutely nothing. And why are people expecting this will all of a sudden change?

When is he going to figure out that no one "makes" themselves in Chicago - they pay to get where they are and so did barry. It will eventually come out when Rezko starts talking and connects the dots between blago and barry because they're there.

And Ridley still thinks the "kill him" actually happened. It didn't. It was disproven by the Secret Service as "that's him" and the case in Pennsylvania was made up by the reporter. The Secret Service and other law enforcement had a large presence because of the previous comment and they were surprised to read about it in the paper the next day. And what happened to the reporter? His editor stood behind him. The paper endorsed barry.

It is absolutely reprehensible that barry has not yet set The American People correct. His false hearsay comments were made in the last debate. The last words from both candidates and barry accuses McCain/Palin of inciting crowds to yell death threats.

OBAMA: In which all the public reports indicated were shouting when my name came up things like: 'terrorist' and 'kill him'. and that your running mate didn't mention, didn't stop, didn't say 'Hold on a second, that's kind of out of line'.

"In which all the public reports" is irresponsible and as a lawyer he knows all about hearsay. It is very hard to yell hold on a second to something that was never heard because it was never said. The terrorist comments were directed at Ayers. And how many votes did that win barry?

You want the measure of the Man of Integrity and Transcender of Race and the Great Uniter?

Each of his opponents (plus Mr Bill) left the race racists when none of them started that way. He never spoke out against Rep Lewis' horrifying statements about Sen McCain. And he never apologized to Sen McCain or Gov Palin for lying on national TV to pander for votes.

I have a draft put together somewhere with all the evil things said about Senator Clinton during the campaign that barry never once stood up and objected to. I'll have to post it. Here's something Micheal Graham said about Sen Clinton in 2003:

Anyone listening to Hillary Rodham in her speech last week about patriotism, that screaming, screeching fingernail, I wanted to bludgeon her with a tire iron.

And the outrage?

It's called The Double Standard.

That is the race issue that is still not being discussed and I don't see barry giving a politically speech about it.
