Jesse Jackson follows in Spike Lees footsteps U.S. The Most Violent Nation On Earth

Hey FCC: Approve the Comcast-NBC Merger, Already
Comcast and NBC-Universal (NBCU) have been waiting to merge for, well, ever.  Or at least it seems that way. Mergers of this sort are supposed to be approved within 180 days of applying to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Justice Department for permission.  (As offensive as that may sound - two companies reaching mutually agreeable business terms having to then play Mother May I with the government - that is the way it currently goes.) Those 180 days expired someti

Delusional: Jesse Jackson Calls America The Most Violent Nation on Earth

Spike Lee Calls the United States the 'Most Violent Country In History of Civilization'
"These guns are out of hand" newsbustersDirector Spike Lee, along with his wife Tonya, came on Wednesday's Today show to promote their new Children's book, but he couldn't leave without blaming the NRA for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting and slamming the United States of America for being "the most violent country in the history of civilization."

Celebrity Moonbat of the Day: Spike Lee Says America Most Violent Country In History of Civilization
LEE: Right. VIEIRA: -and the level of Rhetoric. And not saying that it was responsible for what happened, but that it just adds to negativity, in general. LEE: Here’s my, my take in it. I think that, as film makers, as politicians, as artists, we have to understand that all, whatever we do goes out in the universe. And you should be aware of what you’re doing. And you cannot just say “Well I just did this and, and my - had nothing to do with what happened.” ThatR...

Idiot Spike Lee: The United States Is the Most Violent Country in the History of Civilization (Video)
Director Spike Lee, along with his wife Tonya, were on the Today Show this morning to promote their new Children’s book. But, Spike coudln’t help himself. When he was asked about the Tucson shootings Spike told Meredith Viera (who is still pushing the line that Loughner snapped because of the Tea Party, etc.) that, “The United States is the most violent county in the history of civilization. SPIKE LEE: Right. LEE: Right. VIEIRA: -and the level of Rhetoric. And not saying that i...

Spike Lee Declares America to Be the Most Violent Country in History
Never mind the Aztecs with their assembly line Human Sacrifices. Never mind the Nazis making people into lampshades, Mao's China stacking up corpses by the tens of millions, or the nightmarish atrocities that occur in hellholes like Rwanda and Sudan. The most violent society in the history of the world is the United States of America. Take it from Spike Lee, the absurdly pretentious punk who called for Charlton Heston to be shot with a .44 caliber Bulldog. On the Decay show the other day he info...

Giffords react: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. calling for more funds to bolster lawmaker district security
WASHINGTON--Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) will ask new GOP House leaders to increase members operating budgets in order to pay for more security in their districts, a proposal made in the wake of the Saturday Tucson Shooting Spree that left 14 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az.), and six dead. Jackson stressed in an interview with the Sun-Times that after the 9-11 attacks the Capitol, embassies, Military bases and federal buildings were physically fortified--but lawmakers work...

Dem Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr: Giffords Shooting an Act of Terror Because Loughner is an Anti-Government Activist
His not-so-subtle way of blaming this on the Tea Party. (Politico)- The appropriate response to last weekend’s shooting in Arizona depends in large part on how we define it. If we choose to view the events in Tucson as the act of a lone lunatic, the American People will respond accordingly. If we choose to define it as an act of Terrorism, the American People have quite a different response. The Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln was part of a Conspiracy to kill several prominent n...

Glenn Beck and Jared Loughner: Separated at birth?
This weird segue popped up the other day in the Twilight Zone between Neil Cavuto's Fox News show and the Glenn Beck show immediately following. CAVUTO: I want you to look at him. Look at him closely. Maybe you recognize this guy. But I don't. Maybe you think this guy is all of us. But I don't. I just see a nut. We didn't make him. He made and then unmade himself. The script works for that guy, too! And the more I think about it, the more the daily rants from Glenn Beck start to eerily resembl...

How Obama got conservatives to listen to him
Did Obama's Speech "rebuke" the left? So argued a number of people on the right, who hailed the President's Speech because in their view, Obama called on the left to stop blaming the shooting on incendiary Rhetoric. Conservatives are right to point to Obama's claim that Incivility did not cause the shooting, because it's important. But it's not important for the reason conservatives think it is. Among those who have claimed Obama's Speech stiff-armed the left are Rich Lowry, Marc Thiessen, and...

Half of the Comedy Team Cloward/Piven Speaks
I was told there would be sex ? Frances Fox Piven delivers the same Speech that the rest of the thousand-headed Ignoramus has delivered a thousand times before - “The Tea Party are scared Racists who can’t handle a black man in the White House.” Yawn. I couldn’t handle Jimmy Carter in the White House. Does that make me a Peanutist?  I didn’t enjoy Bill Clinton’s tenure. Does that make me a Penist? No. It makes me a conservative,  you know, the opposite of ...

Paul Bowers: On Getting Married and Missing Out on the College Experience
A note: My wife and I got married in July of 2010, with two semesters' worth of college to go. I've blogged previously about why we did it, and now I'm writing about how it's working out. A girl from our school's Student magazine came by our apartment the other day to talk about our marriage. She wanted to know, among other things, whether we felt we'd missed out on the College Experience by getting married as undergrads. She didn't capitalize College Experience, of course. She was speaking ou...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Today's Right Wing Is As Responsible For Rep. Giffords' Shooting As The Right Wing Of 1963 Was For The S
Actually... I agree! Every bit as responsible. Or not responsible. I wouldn't suggest reading that, by the way. Let's just say it's gone Full Loughner, and once again we are brought back to the dark chatter of Dallas '63, which, frankly, I have to admit sounds anti-American and despicable, but which also sounds like it had nothing at all to do with shaping the psyche of Marxist defector-to-Russia Oswald, Harvey Lee. The conclusion is that you're to blame for Giffords to the same extent Dallas "...

Delusional: RFK Jr. AllegesJFK Was Killed by a Right-Winger
Liberals love to rewrite history. RFK Jr. is being disingenuous. He knows very well Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marxist. (HuffPo)- Uncle Jack’s Speech in Dallas was to have been an explosive broadside against the Right Wing. He found Dallas’ streets packed five deep with Kennedy Democrats, but among them were the familiar ornaments of presidential hatred; high-flying confederate flags and hundreds of posters adorning the walls and streets of Dallas showing Jack’s picture inscribed...

Jesse Jackson Jr: Giffords Shooting an “Act of Terror” Because Loughner is an “Anti-Government Activist”… Word to the wise. Don’t mess with Mark Levin.

Paranoid Narratives
David Frum zeroes in on the sort of Rhetoric that's worth worrying about: The problem is not Military metaphors. It's not Glenn Beck joking about poisoning Nancy Pelosi's wine or Paul Krugman hanging Joe Lieberman in effigy at a party. The problem is, rather, the construction of paranoid narratives that might justify violence to a violent-minded person. When scruffy Protesters drew swastikas on photographs of President George W. Bush, that was obnoxious. It was not likely to incite...

One Year After Haiti Earthquake, Corporations Profit While People Suffer
© Internews Network A Haitian girl sits in a displaced persons camp in December of 2010. One year after an Earthquake devastated Haiti, much of the promised relief and reconstruction aid has not reached those most in need. In fact, the nation's tragedy has served as an opportunity to further enrich Corporate Interests. The details of a recent Lawsuit, as reported by Business Week, highlights the ways in which contractors - including some of the same players who profited from Hurricane Ka...

Birthers Usually Some "Cracker" On The Right, Says NBC Anchor
