Race-baiter Al Sharpton getting perp-walked:
You know, Al really should have taken the leap when he was offered that sit-com back in '05.
H/T Gateway Pundit.
Via Little Green Footballs, a revealing view of Ned Lamont's base:
It certainly fits the pattern I've noticed among some Lamont supporters. I'm not ready to put a label on it, save to say that even just a small hint of it here and there is certainly disturbing and sad.
The nutroots know how utterly unappealing these views are to most Americans, and some are trying to keep a lid on any open discussion that may cast them in a bad light. Right now, in some places, if you use a normally acceptable far-left greeting such as "Gaza is a gulag", you might be answered with "...let’s leave this subject alone until next Wednesday. Please."
How very sad.
...but occasionally it comes out for all to see. There's a pattern this year - the racist treatment of Steele, racism (and yesterday's possible anti-semitism) in liberal blogs. The constant screeching of "racism" at conservatives in cases where there is none.
Hate does this - nothing else can.
Does anyone really think these people will calm down and start acting like adults if they win?
Because I really want to know.
Why are racist statements acceptable (and even considered funny) when they're used by the left?
And they have the gall to call us on the right racist. Sheesh.
I got an email after posting this telling me that I was "off-base" and "taking a cheap shot". I wonder if the author of that email laughed at Wonkette's racism?
As you know, banks are the hot target for reparationists. Currently, there's a case pending in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, Ill. involving J.P. Morgan Chase. Apparently, the reparationists feel their going to lose, and are trying to exert pressure to get the bank to settle:
Students to Boycott Slavery Banks
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Outraged over JP Morgan Chase's refusal to settle a slavery restitution case pending in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, Ill., students, hip hop activists, church leadership, politicians, and reparations organizations are calling a boycott of the company's student loans -- a business worth over $9 billion.
Other targets for reparations have been Wachovia Bank, Fleet Bank, And Bank of America.
This is yet another shakedown in a never ending series of shakedowns. JP Morgan Chase's officers, employees, stockholders, and customers do not own slaves, and their parents and grandparents don't either. But the Restitution Study Group doesn't care about that - if shaking down corporations gets them a few bucks and helps pave the way toward going after the U.S. government (their real goal), punishing innocent people and damaging the economy are, in their twisted view of justice, fair paving stones along the way.
Ironic is that the student loan program they wish to boycott helps many minority students get an education they may not otherwise get. And the companies that Restitution Study Group targets have already made concessions:
Charlotte-based Wachovia Corp. committed an undisclosed sum to support black history education in June, a few days after announcing that two of its predecessor banks owned slaves. Also this year, New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co. gave $5 million to support college scholarships for black students in Louisiana, where two of its predecessor banks received thousands of slaves as collateral.
And go here to see what Bank of America has done. Reparations groups, in their unabashed greed, would take away Bank of America's profits and assets, cynically ending the bank's ability to give to such worthy causes as United Negro College Fund, INROADS Inc., Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and many more.
Appeasement never gets the desired result, as illustrated by the current court case even after banks have given generously. It just breeds calls for more appeasement.
Really, folks - for the sake of everyone, it's time for the shakedowns to stop.
And I can't say I blame her. Go and read her post from late last night, "Just a yellow woman doing a white man's job".
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths the folks on the left will go when challenged by minorities who don't agree with the liberal message.
While the tone of her post is set by her (obviously justified) frustration, it also gives a glimpse into Michelle's private life - something I wish she had shared in a happier post, because I think there's a terrific story there. Framing issues aside, though, I'm still glad she shared it. Michelle, is there any chance we'll get to see more?
Anyway, this is a must-read for today.
To Michelle, a quote from Samuel Johnson (English author, 1709–1784):
"Attack is the reaction. I never think I have hit hard unless it rebounds."
Keep hitting 'em hard, Michelle.
