From The Time Capsule: Race Baiter Al Shaprton Yells "Punk Faggot" On Morton Downey Jr. Show
The video speaks for itself (Breitbart via Weasel Zippers). Big Al made a similar comment a few years later. “White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires.... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”Meanwhile, the Holier than thou Sharpton has been attacking Rush Limbaugh and even threatening to sic the FCC on Rush for alleged "Hate Speech."

IS DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO OBAMA ALSO RACIAL? Oh, absolutely. Racist, racist, racist. But I love
IS DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO OBAMA ALSO RACIAL? Oh, absolutely. Racist, racist, racist. But I love this comment: “Calling Republicans ‘racist’ for opposing Democrats in general, or Obama specifically, is nothing more than a political tactic that we use to turn black people against Republicans. There’s nothing to be gained by using this tactic against Democrats.” Remember, comrades: We must distinguish between mere bourgeois truth, which is concerned with sterile fa...

Rush Limbaugh: America being raped by this (Democrat) Congress
RUSH LIMBAUGH: “We’re witnessing, this is the hijacking of our country right in front of our eyes, with some Republican participation. The Election Results were clear. If we were a woman and the Congress were a man we’re in the middle of being raped. We said “no” in November. And we’re paying for it. We’re paying to get raped. We said “no” in November, i.e., the election, we have said “no” at every opportunity, and yet they contin...

Putting up, not shutting up ... Michael Moore.

Rush Limbaugh: Pelosi And Reid 'Are Terrorists' (AUDIO)
Rush Limbaugh compared Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to Terrorists on his Wednesday show. Limbaugh began by comparing the two Democratic congressional leaders to Al Capone and other mob bosses. He then wondered aloud, "how do you stop people like that?" Maybe, he continued, the U.S. is fighting the wrong enemy: "It could well be, ladies and gentlemen, that we're fighting the wrong enemy in the Middle East. Maybe the real Terrorists that we face are on Capitol Hill. I mean, really, who's doing as...

Rush Limbaugh calls Reid and Pelosi 'Terrorists'
Mr. Blue Pill goes on another hate-speech rant as he usually does and attacks his usual targets, Pelosi and Reid. "It could well be, ladies and gentlemen, that we're fighting the wrong enemy in the Middle East. Maybe the real Terrorists that we face are on Capitol Hill. I mean, really, who's doing as good a job to undermine what this country stands for as the terrorists? 'Dingy' Harry, Nancy Pelosi. I mean, look, if they call us 'hostage takers' and 'gangsters,' then why can't we call them what ...

Rush Limbaugh: Maybe The Real Terrorists That We Face Are On Capitol Hill
Rush Limbaugh is not happy with Democratic leaders calling the GOP “hostage takers.” He responded by calling them some names of his own like “gangsters,” comparing them to Al Capone , and, for the kicker, “Terrorists.” Uh oh. Don’t we know the problem with exaggerations like that? There are a ton of great quotes in here but the best stuff comes at the end: “It could well be, ladies and gentlemen, that we’re fighting the wrong enemy in the Mid...

Rush Limbaugh lectures unemployed man on the harm of jobless benefits (Audio)
On his Radio Show today Rush Limbaugh told one of his unemployed listeners why his jobless benefits are destroying The Economy.  In the audio segment on the left, Limbaugh takes a call from "Jerome."  Jerome states that he actually agrees with much of Limbaugh's words, but that he has grown more sympathetic about the need for government assistance since becoming unemployed.  Even in the face of Jerome's personal Testimony, Limbaugh stands by his assertion that jobless benefits sho...

Rush Limbaugh: American Public Is Being Raped By This Congress
It would be hard to find a media personality who is more experienced than Rush Limbaugh at carefully constructing a convincing argument, before quickly shattering any of its impact with over-the-top hyperbole. Case in point: today Rush was justifiably angry with the determination of elected officials to fulfill a non-existent mandate to pass as much Legislation as possible before the end of the year. This, according to Rush, is the equivalent of Congress sexually violating every American and is...

Anti-Anti-Racism.
Political correctness and people who call things Racist are the greatest threats to free Speech, says Andrew Breitbart in this video from Reason (zoom ahead to 1:35): This is a nearly pure expression of conservative anti-anti-racism, or the idea that accusations of Racism (against White People) are far more harmful than actual incidents of Bigotry against Minorities (with the collorary that Minorities are guilty of tremendous Racism against White People). Smearing Shirley Sherrod is perfectly ok...

Martinique man convicted of making racist remarks
A court has found an 84-year-old businessman Guilty of condoning a Crime against humanity for praising Slavery during a TV interview and sentenced him Wednesday to pay a fine of nearly $10,000. Alain Despointes made the comments at a moment when the French Caribbean territory was convulsed by Protests over high prices and low wages and by resentment that the primarily white, "beke" descendants of slaveholders control much of the local economy. Despointes, one of the beke elite, also criticized m...

Catch of the Day
How about one for Jamelle Bouie, calling out Andrew Breitbart (OK, it's easy pickings, but still): This is a nearly pure expression of conservative anti-anti-racism, or the idea that accusations of Racism (against White People) are far more harmful than actual incidents of Bigotry against Minorities (with the collorary that Minorities are guilty of tremendous Racism against White People). Smearing Shirley Sherrod is perfectly okay, but calling out Breitbart's race-baiting is beyond the pale, an...

Proud of Mel, on the Occasion of Winona’s Denunciation
Aaron Worthing at Patterico’s Pontifications recently wrote a post about an interview in GQ with Winona Ryder — who is Jewish; who knew? — in which she offhandedly charged that, “like, fifteen years ago,” she was at a Hollywood party, where she met a drunken Mel Gibson… and that, when she mentioned her religion, he jokingly referred to Jews as “oven dodgers.” (Ryder also claims that Gibson “made a really horrible gay joke” to her gay fr...

Chicago Democrat: Only Blacks Should be Considered Minorities, Says Women, Asians, Hispanics Shouldnt Be Able to Use That Title
How very Racist of him… (Chicago Sun Times)-  Mayoral challenger James Meeks scrambled Thursday to put out a political fire touched off by his suggestion that only African-Americans should be eligible for city contracts set aside for Minorities and women. Meeks made the statement on Wednesday during an interview on WVON-AM (1690). It happened during a discussion of why African-American businesses got a 7 percent sliver of Chicago’s $1 billion spending pie through Aug. 31, down from 8...

Fa-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra, Ctd
A reader writes: I thought I should share with you a screen capture of your posts. The first post is about dealing with "Racist relatives over the Holidays" followed by "Fa Ra Ra Ra." Now I understand the latter post references the "classic" movie moment in The Christmas Story, but seeing the two posts back to back struck me. As a biracial Asian-American male that "classic" moment was my first realization of the long heard phrase "laughing AT you not WITH you." Growing up in suburban Virginia,...
