Will AOL Remove Van Jones from HuffPost Front Page for Hateful Attack on America Day After 9/11?

Try to remember how you felt on the days after the horrible events of September 11, 2001. I remember our country experiencing something close to Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s famous stages of grief. Except instead of “acceptance” being the final stage,  our nation swelled with an enormous sense of patriotism [...]

Radicals in Planning Stages of Massive ‘Militant’ U.S. Protests

The folks who brought us the “Defend Public Education” actions last March in California, Wisconsin, New York and Michigan are planning a new round this year and will be drawing on the “energy” created by the violent, destructive riots in Europe.
The Huffington Post reported last year about college students shutting down major freeways in California.  [...]

Race and the 2010 Elections

Will the NAACP be celebrating the arrival of two new black faces to the U.S. House of Representatives?

Don’t hold your breath. They certainly will not. These two new black congressmen are Republicans.
There’s a powerful message here that should and must be digested.
We have arrived in post-racial America but establishment blacks – lodged in the [...]

CWA Union Boss Says Tea Party Advocates ‘Slavery’

Just when you thought the left-wing race baiting over the last year couldn’t get any worse, the Communications Workers of America chief honcho Larry Cohen has sunk to new depths attacking those who do not agree with his socialist agenda.

On Wednesday, the NAACP, in continuing its unfounded “racist” accusations of the Tea Party movement, had [...]

NAACP’s Attack on the Tea Party Movement Is A Betrayal of Its Mission to Uplift Black America

This morning I had the opportunity to listen to a NAACP conference call that was organized to release its report highlighting alleged (yet unproven) Tea Party ties to racist groups. This conference call, report, and website reminded me very much of the quote from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, “A tale told by an idiot, full of sound [...]

The VFW Ignores Its Members to Suck Up to Anti-Military Washington Incumbents

You might think that a prominent veterans organization like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) would actually reserve its political endorsements for, you know, veterans, or at least those politicians that actually demonstrate some level of respect for the military.  But you would be wrong.  And the problem is not just the VFW; rather, the [...]

Astroturf? Thousands Given Free Bus Rides by Unions & NAACP to One Nation Rally

In response to the success of the Tea Party rallies in April 2009, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused the nascent movement of being “astroturf”–a political term of art for a faux movement funded by traditional powers to give a cause the appearance of independent grassroots support.
Pelosi repeated the “astroturf” slur in August 2009 [...]

Interview of the Year: DISCLOSE Act’s Assault on the First Amendment

The exercise of free speech is acceptable to the left when they agree with what you are saying. But when the left and media types find the views disagreeable or inconvenient and painfully true, the exercise of free speech becomes portrayed as sinister.
For example, the Committee for Truth in Politics has run a series of [...]

Andrew Breitbart’s Epiphany

From the LA Times:

The command center of Andrew Breitbart’s growing media empire is a suite of offices on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles with the temporary feel of a campaign office. Only the computers seem firmly anchored.

AFL-CIO Joins Marxist/Progressive Get Out the Vote Alliance

2010 Census Scandals Rock Detroit Regional Census Center

As 2010 Census operations wind down, the Census Bureau has been forced to get rid of many of its temporary employees.

[...]

Resolution Against YouTube ‘Racism’

Using the NAACP’s resolution against Tea Party “racism” as a model, I hereby ask YouTube to repudiate their racist users.
“I take no issue with Google’s YouTube community. I believe in freedom of assembly and people raising their voices in a democracy. What I take issue with is the YouTube’s continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted [...]

Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher’s Failed Defense of the ‘N-Word’ Lie Dismantled

Tommy Christopher at Mediaite has decided to wade into the “Phantom N-Word” story and do the heavy lifting of the Congressional Black Caucus, Media Matters, MSNBC and all of the networks and publications that spread the false charges of racism emanating from the health care protests in Washington DC on March 20th.

Why You May Not Want to Join the Shirley Sherrod Fan Club (Part 2)

What the Sherrods could learn from the Hatfields and the McCoys

Why You May Not Want to Join the Shirley Sherrod Fan Club (Part 1)

Breitbart: Enemy of the Left with a Laptop

From the Associated Press:

Andrew Breitbart strips off his blazer, windmills it over his head and lets it fly to the stage with a matador’s flourish. He booms into a microphone, sneering, taunting. Breath sprints to keep up with words.
A Breitbart boil is under way, before a cheering throng of tea partiers on a moonlike strip [...]

Restless Goalposts: Is NAACP Even Relevant?

Thirty years ago, a group of mothers who had lost children to drunk drivers organized a group called MADD. They had a legitimate beef. There were too many drunks on the road.

To Americans at the time, drinking and driving was a national pastime. We would routinely take risks that are unheard of today. More than [...]

****
Today, on MSNBC’s Hardball, Chris Matthews acknowledged (and appears to be the first member of the mainstream media to acknowledge) that the video Andrew Breitbart posted in his July 19th Big Government article about an NAACP audience’s reaction to a particular moment in Shirley Sherrod’s speech, does in fact [...]

Shirley Sherrod Got Her Reputation Back, Who Will Apologize to Tea Party?

So after this whole Shirley Sherrod thing, I’m thinking, Andrew Breitbart has a point.

Let’s review:

The Tea Party was born, causing a frightened media to drum up accusations of racism
Later, Congressman John Lewis claims Tea Partiers shouted the “N-word” at him. The press runs with it. Breitbart posts a $100K reward for [...]
