Still, like Aaron Goldstein, I smell a rat. You know the world is upside down when conservatives are ripping MSNBC for suspending Olbermann.
"Perhaps Olbermann violated NBC News “policy and standards.” But NBC doesn’t have real news standards for MSNBC—otherwise the channel wouldn’t exist. It’s a little strange to get all high and mighty now.
But there’s now a Republican House, and perhaps GE is trying to curry favor by dumping Olbermann?"
Only two years for Johannes Mehserle? Sorry Oscar, maybe if you were a dog your killer would have gotten more time. Hey, that's what Michael Vick got for killing dogs. I am just sayin.
But I don't want to turn this into another one of those kinds of posts. Now that we are living in post racial A-merry-ca it wouldn't be cool. Wait....
Finally, the republiclowns were up in arms about this 200 million dollar a day trip his O ness is taking to India. (That doesn't even sound right. It costs 190 million to keep a thousand troops in Afghanistan every day.) Well, as is often the case with wingnuts, it turns out that they were wrong. This, of course, didn't stop the wingnut media machine from parroting this false story for the last couple of days. It's what they do. Turns out the source of the cost to A-merry-ca for an A-merry-can president's trip, was an Indian official who told this to an Indian news outlet. Let that sink in for a minute.....
Field, you and all of your followers oF Obama should read this:

MSNBC has, very simply, fucked up.
ReplyDeleteThe over/under on Olbermann being back is 10 days.
Damn, only two years. Figures. Gotta Love that Amerikkkan justice system.
American conservatives are, very simply, traitors. They hate America and everything unique & good about her. They may decry Sharia law, but if you renamed it Jesus law, they would be foursquare behind it -- the beheadings, the whippings, all of it. If you rewrote the Declaration in simple modern English and showed it to them without identifying it, they'd have you thrown in jail as a commie. They know nothing about our history, our ideals or what once upon a time made us great.
The wealthy ones are in it for themselves; the poor, stupid ones will do anything the wealthy ones tell them to do.
I can picture it now. Some Tea Bagger with his family camping out on the median strip on Route I-90 longing for the relative comfort of the Federal Park where they had just toughed out the winter. But, after rejecting a lease arrangement as “not being in America’s best interest,” President Palin had sold the federal parkland to Koch Industries at 8 cents an acre for oil and natural gas exploration and timber extraction promising that the sale would create jobs. New jobs had opened up for security guards to keep squatters like Tea Bagger off Koch’s land, but Dyncorp got the outsource contract and imported 125 Ugandans to fill the positions while Koch turned around and sold the mineral rights to the Chinese. It’s the middle of the night. His 8 year old daughter’s sick, possibly dying, don’t know. No doctor. No healthcare. He thinks, “I let my bigotry get the better of me.” He’s surrounded by stars.
Thus, the demise of the Cat Food Conservative is complete.
The amount of channels on my cable that didn't get any viewing will probably see an uptick in ratings from me. These teafolks are going to be chasing shadows for a while.
ReplyDeleteSMH @Oscar Grant sentencing...
As for KO, in a sane world, half of these MSM cats would be off the air...LOL!
TSC has lost it.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that MSNBC -- featuring Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and the other paragons of journalism that fill its on-air ranks -- is full of left-wing operatives in the tank for the Obama administration. Earlier this year Mika Brzezinski confessed to "working with the White House" on talking points (regarding the Gulf oil spill). She even read the White House talking points on the air: Brzezinski made no bones about what she was doing, and no one was particularly shocked to learn that the talent was reading Democratic Party talking points on the air.
ReplyDeleteWhat is to be said? The Olbermann case features a joke pundit working for a joke network. It is impossible to take seriously.
ch555x, "SMH @Oscar Grant sentencing..."
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's where Granny lives. Considering her neighbors are Democrats who hang Confederate flags from their houses, I am not surprised what they do to Blacks there. It must be a frightening place.
There's no redeeming value to GE to carry a far left Liberal like Olbermann. GE is a business that wants the support of a Congress which is business friendly. Now that the Republicans are in power, GE and other businesses have a pro-business House.
ReplyDeleteThere will be other Liberals let go, also. Rachel Maddow is next. She shouldn't be on TV anyway.
TSC warbled:
ReplyDelete"American conservatives are, very simply, traitors. They hate America and everything unique & good about her."
Your projection has risen to the level of a psychopath, as this description fits progressives to a tee.
"They may decry Sharia law, but if you renamed it Jesus law, they would be foursquare behind it -- the beheadings, the whippings, all of it."
Right. America has been a Christian nation since its founding. Why hasn't it tumbled into theocracy already? Because Christianity doesn't have a legal code; Christianity renders unto unto Caesar what is Caesar's; Christianity is not Islam.
"If you rewrote the Declaration in simple modern English and showed it to them without identifying it, they'd have you thrown in jail as a commie."
Does the Declaration of Independence mandate you buy health insurance? Everything Obama and the democrats have done over the past two years in in direct opposition to the principles of limited governement power, personal liberty, and natural rights elucidated in the Declaration.
"They know nothing about our history, our ideals or what once upon a time made us great."
Of course they do, which is why they wish to restore a commitment to our founding principles.
You are a drunken fool, Trapped. I feel sorry for someone of such obvious intelligence who clings so tightly to such a delusional worldview.
Atticus,
ReplyDeleteWhich founding principles?
The founders although they may have differed did have a view of what government should do, which the modern limited government folks failed to ever say. The closest I gather is anarchy, which then I wonder how can you be an anarchist an run for an office or want to put some in office.
Some associates degree holder who has read "To Kill A Mockingird" once shat:
ReplyDelete"Your projection has risen to the level of a psychopath, as this description fits progressives to a tee."
And then,
"Right. America has been a Christian nation since its founding. Why hasn't it tumbled into theocracy already? Because Christianity doesn't have a legal code; Christianity renders unto unto Caesar what is Caesar's; Christianity is not Islam."
Followed by,
"Does the Declaration of Independence mandate you buy health insurance? Everything Obama and the democrats have done over the past two years in in direct opposition to the principles of limited governement power, personal liberty, and natural rights elucidated in the Declaration."
Mad props for using the word 'elucidated', while at the same time misspelling the word 'government'. Nice.
But seriously,
The conservatives will continue with the same agenda they've been highly successful at for the past 250 years...Nothing. That's all they've ever done and will ever do....Oh!, that, and encourage and support American corporate fascism. Basically greedy sociopath Klansmen in suits and ties.
Now that the agenda-less sociopaths have a "majority" in the House, they can get on with their prime ambition: Stopping Obama from getting re-elected in 2012. I promise you, there is nothing more important than that. Not jobs, not stopping the war, not improving America's crumbling infrastructure and global reputation. Nothing.
The smoke has yet to clear, but the brainless and the rabid are cheering their own continued malaise and a reinforcement of the status quo.
The Tea Partiers and their conservative deep pocketed puppetmasters, have rallied around one central theme with great success: Hatred for Obama. They stand for nothing except the record of failure of the past 40 years.
Sure, if you have a brain of mush and find propaganda "inspiring", the claims of "getting our country back", "creating jobs" and tax cuts (always a sure winner!), and eliminating "big government" might be a cause for righteous anger and knee jerk voter turnout, but that's not the conservative agenda.
No one was really listening because all of those "inspiring" ambitions were, and are, hugely devoid of details. However, no one cared. The primary objective is to make Obama a one-term president. After that, what are we left with? Nothing.
Conservatives, I must admit, use the collective national amnesia like one big Jedi Mind Trick. People forget how wretched the Bush years were ; they hate Obama, yet the only "alternative" agenda that exists is the one that helped re-elect Bush for a second term, hatred of Gore. And the result was the near collapse and bankruptcy of the country.
No one has noticed that Obama has not only stopped the record LOSS of jobs that was building up momentum during Bush's final days in office, but gained a few jobs. Bush left office losing 750,000 jobs a month. In Obama's two years he has GAINED on average 100,000....jobs per month.
Definitely nowhere near enough, but definitely a turning of the tide from the economy-butchering Bush years.
No one cares and no one remembers the origins of our misery. When all else fails, blame it on the black guy. It has brought America this far.........which is where???
So the next two years will mostly be about conservatives doing what they do best: obstruct and blame their failures on Obama. They know that ANY success that might be credited to Obama must be stopped. They know that their only agenda is the status quo even if it means fighting to keep people jobless so that they can blame Obama and secure their biggest ambition of making him a one-term president. THIS is the "love of country" that allowed Jim Crow, the illegal war in Iraq, and "shutting down government" (because you can't have your way (Gingrich).
NEXT!
Atticus, "You are a drunken fool, Trapped. I feel sorry for someone of such obvious intelligence who clings so tightly to such a delusional worldview."
ReplyDeleteI agree. However, TSC perceives according to his emotional predilections which is ALWAYS skewed...TSC's judgments are 99% loaded with angry self-pitying emotions. You pegged him right as drunken fool because he is drunk with blinding emotions. That makes him insane.
However, he is not the only one on this blog who is like that: Granny, Hathor, Mack Lyons, Gregory, UTS, and a host of other progressive liberals.
America done fucked up, Field. It done fucked up real good.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Johannes is somewhere where the usual gen pop crowd isn't around, because shanking that guy would be a can't-miss opportunity for many inmates.
Wanna send a message about the justice system being soft on these guys? Have a hired gun take him out the day he gets out of prison. It'll give the dirty LEOs something to think about.
I'm also sure News Corp. has some plants within MSNBC and other "liberal" news outlets, just waiting for the more outspoken media icons to step out of bounds. As long as the liberal media remains toothless and unfailingly polite to the GOP, there won't be any "problems".
This country is collectively losing its fucking mind. And a brown-skinned man assuming the presidency was all it took. Go figure.
You are losing your fucking mind, Mack. News Corp has "plants" within MSNBC? Someone should assassinate a man upon finishing his sentence?

TSC, "..People forget how wretched the Bush years were ; they hate Obama, yet the only "alternative" agenda that exists is the one that helped re-elect Bush for a second term, hatred of Gore. And the result was the near collapse and bankruptcy of the country."
ReplyDeleteNo, the "People" haven't forgotten. After two years of Obama they have concluded that the Dems and Obama are worse. Face it. Obama is a nice guy but he seems disconnected with the people and also lacks experience.
If your assumption that Whites hate him because of his color is correct, then it proves Obama should have never run in the first place,- let alone be elected. Face it...he's a light weight.
It is almost certain that he will join the 'very short list' of one-term Presidents. As a black conservative, I won't miss him one bit for never before have so many Blacks been out of so many jobs.
And I am sure America won't miss him either.

To have my world view is not dependent upon what you think or don't think. To be a liberal doesn't require that you be a reactionary.
GE is trying to dump NBC Universal off to Comcast so they don't want to piss-off the Republicans now that they are in charge.

Why do you Progressive Black Liberal Dems and White Lib Dems lose all sense of civility, logic, rationale, and sanity?
Trapped in SC said..."No one has noticed that Obama has not only stopped the record LOSS of jobs that was building up momentum during Bush's final days in office, but gained a few jobs."
ReplyDeleteWRONG. Obamanomics has placed the US economy in a hole so deep that it will take more than easy money coupled with political gridlock to fix. To lower unemployment in a meaningful way, Washington needs to unwind the trillions of new debt, higher taxes and new mandates that it's given us over the last two years. The GOP's gains this week aren't enough to make that happen.
Unlike traders, people who run businesses actually have a sense of history. They know the Reagan boom wasn't produced by the warring with congressional leaders, but by the tax cuts that passed with bipartisan support.
And they know that the '90s boom came after the GOP took Congress in 1994, when Clinton moved from the center-left to the center-right, and we got welfare reform, tax cuts for businesses and investing and lower deficits.
But no one expects the guy wielding the veto pen this time around to make the same shift. Clinton took office as a moderate Democrat - a former governor who'd needed to balance his budgets and learned early on how to moderate his liberal leanings, if only to attract businesses and investment to his state. Obama's background is a much more rigid and left-wing.
Only an ideologue would entertain the idea of raising taxes when the economy remains frighteningly weak - even if, after the GOP's landslide, he now says he's open to extending the Bush-era tax rates for even highest-income people.
More important, Clinton's first two years did nothing like the damage of Obama's $800 billion stimulus (massive debt with little if any job creation), to say nothing of ObamaCare.
Republicans in Congress know they'll have an uphill agenda reversing Obamanomics, and have set out on a course of merely slowing things down. They also mean to soften the job-killing, anti-business impact of the new health-care and financial-oversight laws.
But that's about where their clout stops. The president, with his (albeit thinner) majority in the Senate, will thwart any serious attempt to roll back ObamaCare or the myriad of new regulations and tax hikes that businesses point to when you ask them why they're not hiring.
The Federal Reserve's new $600 billion "quantitative easing" won't save us, either. Bernanke can print money - but that only gets you so far when banks are still fearful to lend to businesses and consumers.
Bernanke is risking massive inflation and a further devaluation of the dollar in order to save the country from a double-dip recession because he knows without a clear governing majority - and that includes a new president - undoing what was done over the past two years will be nearly impossible. Businesses will remain reluctant to spend and hire; unemployment won't budge much from its current levels.
For that reason, you might want to get used to 9.5 percent unemployment, no matter how much money Bernanke pumps into the banks. It's probably going to be around as long as the president.
TSC paints a rosy picture of the demise of the Cat Food Conservative. But it's not just that group that's gonna end up stuck with the dinner tab -- the entire concept of the American Middle Class is gonna take a dirt nap. Welcome back to the condition which has existed since the dawn of mankind.
ReplyDeleteGiven the fluidity of the globalist outlook and the relative ease of travel and transfering wealth from place to place, I don't expect the corporations to stick around in the U.S. -- their aim is to suck up as many resources and as much wealth from this nation as possible. When conditions become unfavorable, they can pull anchor and set up shop elsewhere, leaving this country like...well...any other country that's had its resources stripped clean and its wealth drained. It's a mass-scale strip-n-flip operation.
The corporations get a pass from the very group of people they seek to strip of their wealth. All because they're too shortsighted to look down and realize they're only pawns on the corporate chessboard. These same people are flipping the fuck out because they happened to land on a black square.
"What a piece of work."

I always wondered about the Anons who dedicate themselves to this blog. Is it one person carpet-bombing the comments in hope of displaying some sort of "opposition" to the other commentators here or is it a collection of lonely chaps who can't get the same sort of thrill from derailing the conversation and deriding others at Free Republic or any other like-minded site? There's no telling, with the anons being anon and all.
ReplyDelete"WRONG. Obamanomics has placed the US economy in a hole so deep that it will take more than easy money coupled with political gridlock to fix.

The GOP's gains this week aren't enough to make that happen."
Fiscal policy that has been in existence since the Bush administration is dumped squarely into Obama's lap. This condition has been coming for a while and to attribute this to the mere presence of a Democrat president is disengenuous, at best.
"Unlike traders, people who run businesses actually have a sense of history. They know the Reagan boom wasn't produced by the warring with congressional leaders, but by the tax cuts that passed with bipartisan support."
Some people tout tax cuts as though they are the magic bullets that will cure all of our economic ills. Tax cuts don't have much of an effect on the small businesses conservatives champion. They do have a tremendous effect on major investors and multinational comglomerates. Giving piles of "free" money to investors and corporations who'd rather sit on it and gain interest instead of the lower and middle class people who need financial relief the most smacks of insensitive idealism. "Trickle-Down Economics" has been proven to be a joke. The money that's funneled to the top stays at the top.
"But that's about where their clout stops. The president, with his (albeit thinner) majority in the Senate, will thwart any serious attempt to roll back ObamaCare or the myriad of new regulations and tax hikes that businesses point to when you ask them why they're not hiring."
HMOs and the healthcare insurance industry love the provisions in "ObamaCare" too much to lobby its rollback. It's a gift to the corporate-minded that has next to nothing for the ordinary person who wants genuine healthcare reform. As for businesses pointing to the state of the economy as a reason for not hiring, it may have been true months ago, but now businesses have realized they can make as much profit as they've been making or more without the need for "extras". That includes extra staff. Or if they need staff, they can always fill positions with temporary workers who'll do the job for far less money and little to no benefits.
"For that reason, you might want to get used to 9.5 percent unemployment, no matter how much money Bernanke pumps into the banks. It's probably going to be around as long as the president."
Actually, that figure will be around for as long as it is politically expedient for the GOP and their business interests.

ReplyDeleteNot only are you a spineless coward, you are also a backbiter too. I've noticed that several times that you like to talk about me when I am not around. I must really get under your skin. Do you dream about me too?
You seem to have a bad habit of talking about people behind their back. Your excessively messy and petty.
YOu are awful obsessed with wanting to know where I live. Why don't you ask me? It's not like I'm hiding out or anything like that. My neighbors and other people see me every day of the week. I'm well known in my city. That's if you want to come and see me. BTW, I sit on my porch day and night out in the open.
BTW, do you know my neighbors or me personally? Since, you like to step out on a limb as if you know me personally and talk as if you and I have broke bread together or chopped it up over over a Latte. You talk about that which you don't know and my neighbors as if you visit my block regularly. Yup, we just old buddies let you tell it.
Evidently, you had a very frightening experience in Oakland because you haven't been able to get over it. Judging from your attitude I wouldn't be surprised if your neighbors ran you out of Oakland in the middle of the night. I bet you didn't have any friends with your miserable, bitter, persnickety self. People more than likely steered clear of you because of your unpleasant personality.
You can even come and visit my church, we'd love to have you. You sound like a prime candidate for an exorcism only we call it deliverance. Yup! I know without a doubt that they would usher you up to the altar too and lay hands on you to deliver you from those little devils on the inside of you. Especially, since you talked about Karma as if that is a part of Christianity. I've never heard anywhere in the bible, or in a sermon "karma" mentioned. Nope, Jesus Christ, crucified, died and was buried, and on the third day he arose so that we could have life, but no Karma. Although, karma is mentioned a lot in the occult. You not dabbling in witchcraft or the occult now are you? That would explain your unpleasant disposition.
I pray that hatred, vindictiveness and anger doesn't eat you up on the inside so bad and give you cancer. You need to let it go.

Really? Someone should have told Mark Sanford, John Ensign and Newt Gingrich. Seems Republicans forget all about ethics and morality when they see some nice tail. Or a huge stack of $100 bills. And yet they hypocritically trounce Democrats for doing the same.
Oh yeah, BTW, no one on here feels that you are of the slightest challenge. They're more than likely are ignoring you because you don't have anything of substance to add to the conversation. No one want to be bothered with a miserable person whose only conversatonal skill is insults.

"Let's hope his O ness can grow a pair and double down over the next two years."
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that. For a while, I've wondered if the environment and the people he was raised around shaped him to be far more concillatory to White political figures than the average Black politician would normally be.
For example: Larry Langford, former mayor of Birmingham, AL and current resident of the 5-star Graybar franchise. Sure he had a bad habit of sticking his hands in the cookie jar, but not only did he have ideas for pushing a city hobbled by racial strife, White flight and animosity from suburban dwellers, but he also wouldn't take any shit off of the conservative snakes in the area. William Bell is pushing forth some of those ideas left over from Langford's past administration, but without the fire and conviction Langford had.
A Langford in the Oval Office wouldn't have put up with any of this shit. When the GOP was all but dead, that guy would have set the party's teeth on the curb and ended them "American History X"-style. The GOP would be fundamentally dead and the Dems would be on a much stronger footing. This probably explains why Jesse Jackson and other "genuinely Black" leaders couldn't grasp the presidential ring -- they would have set fire to the conservative agenda and made the Republicans an endangered species.
Instead, Obama stepped back and allowed them to get up off of the canvas and regroup. He tried working with the blue dogs and the GOP, and got routed most of the time. People didn't feel the need to respect him and respect the office. A "genuinely Black" president would have commanded respect from Day One. The "Beer at the White House" photo op would never had happened. And a lot of other things wouldn't have happened, either.
I guess being raised by a White mother in a largely White environment without a Black mentor or authority figure warning him about the inherent treachery of Whites towards persons of color left him a lot more naive than many people give him credit for being. Having a Black wife gives him some perspective, but not enough to feel confident enough in bringing the hammer down, knowing in his heart he knew how to handle his opponents.

ReplyDeleteI did. It's a classic executive move -- kill the things your predecessor built while building your own legacy. The rail project was Ted Strickland's baby. Strickland's baby just got drowned in the bathtub. Kasich will birth his own little bundle of joy -- probably a toll expressway or something similarly lame. At least he won't get the $800 million or so that was earmarked for that expressed purpose. That money will now end up supporting NYC's mass transit system.

That's how Fox gets all its news stories. They either make them up, or run with stories that others make up.
ReplyDeleteThink of the money that Murdock saves.
"Neither is Mack Lying. Hell, halpf the time Mack doesn't even know what time it is. Hey Mack, don't forget to turn your clock ahead by an hour Sunday night. Everybody else will be turning it back an hour but you keep better time when you don't know the time.LOL"
ReplyDeleteSad to see the anons grasping for straws. When these little buggers run out of ideas, they really do flail and flop around like beached fish.
@ Mack Lyons: Your comments at 12:23 prove you know nothing about Obama and you have apparently know almost nothing of the events of the past two years. They also show you to be weasely little fascist. What a combination of ignorance and malice you are.
ReplyDeleteMackLying, "Really? I'd like to see your investment portfolio. And don't be all vague or coy about it, either. Please be as concise and thorough as possible. Thanks."
ReplyDeleteNow why do you want to know what's in my portfolio? If you want a few tips on what to buy just ask. Better hurry up, though. the train is leaving the station for about a few months. You don't want to miss that Republican money train that Dems could never build.
Mack, I feel sorry for you, AND Granny...Really I do. Will you be able to afford a turkey this Thanksgiving? Let me know. I know things are tight for folks like you and Granny. But us black conservatives have money to burn. lol
Field,
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about MSNBC and FOXNEWS. But too, if the Left, starting at the top, doesn't get tough like the Right then soon the Right will have their way and we'll be bombing more colored folks and stealing their natural resources.
Mack Lying, "Sad to see the anons grasping for straws. When these little buggers run out of ideas, they really do flail and flop around like beached fish."
ReplyDeletei see an anon is getting to you. do you still think there is only "one" anon here? you really don't know much, do you?
FYI: Anon, Inc has a contract with Field. Do you know how BIG Anon, Inc is? We are bigger than Fox! And far more powerful! Hell, Fox sweats bullets when we come around.
Where is that shrimp called Zingy?
ReplyDeleteMack Lyons-"Instead, Obama stepped back and allowed them to get up off of the canvas and regroup. He tried working with the blue dogs and the GOP, and got routed most of the time. People didn't feel the need to respect him and respect the office. A "genuinely Black" president would have commanded respect from Day One. The "Beer at the White House" photo op would never had happened. And a lot of other things wouldn't have happened, either."
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. None of that crap would have happened if Harold Washington were President, either. Boehner, Mitch and Newt would have been flattened by now.
But in a sense, Obama seems to be disconnected from America. There is something basically American that is missing in Obama. I say this as a bm.
Where is everybody? What happened to Granny? I guess she couldn't take the heat from anons. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, Granny. Everybody lose to anons, including Field,-the only Negro in Philly who is making any money. Field, I hope you are sharing some of your money and time with Hathor. Lord knows she needs it.
Anons are strong, not weak like MacknownothingLyons.

ReplyDeleteProof. You know how people tend to tell little fibs about themselves over the Internet. Any two-bit trailer dweller can claim they're a "black conservative" with a successful investment portfolio and money to burn. So I want proof of your so-called investments.
If you're on the up, it shouldn't be hard for you to put up or shut up.
And that Republican money train? Yeah, that's for white corporate investors, only. Your likes don't even get to work in the luggage cart.
Charlie G said..."Only an ideologue would entertain the idea of raising taxes when the economy remains frighteningly weak - even if, after the GOP's landslide, he now says he's open to extending the Bush-era tax rates for even highest-income people."
ReplyDeleteAnd only a fool would continue to stuff the mouths of those already full, when there's a dearth of food, only to learn that the "stuffed-mouths" are hoarding their leftovers.
Only an "ideologue" would take such an extreme position, when this nation's deficit is running up against our "debt ceiling."
"More important, Clinton's first two years did nothing like the damage of Obama's $800 billion stimulus (massive debt with little if any job creation), to say nothing of ObamaCare."
Methink you're a bit bias. Your elephant trunk and tusks are showing. What did you think of Bush's bail-outs? You have a lot to say about Obamanomics, but I hear no outrage of equal volume against Bush's transgressions.
Forsooth, you're o.k. with that, right?
"undoing what was done over the past two years will be nearly impossible. Businesses will remain reluctant to spend and hire; unemployment won't budge much from its current levels."
Even a blind man can tell you're an elephant. Two years, you say? Undoing what Bush did is what the last two years have been about. Had Bush been more fiscally responsible with the people's money, Bernanke wouldn't be taking the steps he's now taking, and Obama wouldn't have needed a stimulus to light a fire under the economy again.
You come on this blog with a snow job the size of a blizzard thinking we can be bamboozled by your accusations--claims as groundless as a bridge to nowhere.
MackLying, "And that Republican money train? Yeah, that's for white corporate investors, only. Your likes don't even get to work in the luggage cart."
ReplyDeleteYou don't know much about the Republicans or Wall Street do you? Hell, I bet even Field has some stocks and he is just a lawyer in a small time town called Philly.
Obviously you have no portfolio. But that is ok. You fit in with your progressive liberal broke-ass black dem friends. i challenge you to find ONE Black conservative who doesn't have money.
All the 'forever-broke' Negroes are Dumbocrats.
If it hasn't already been said, Olbermann was suspended because his contract with MSNBC stated that he had to have prior approval from the management (his boss), before making ANY political contributions. He didn't have it. He's supposed to be "neutral".
ReplyDeleteField, I don't watch the news very often, on any network. But, I've always thought your referral to Fox as Radio Rwanda to be out of line. MSNBC is just as predjudiced from the liberal side. Radio Rawanda was actively endorsing killing the majority population in that country. Hacking off arms, hands, and such.
As bone-headed as O'Reilly & Hannity are, they've never done such.
BTW...what ever happened to that guy on Radio Rwanda who was calling for the massacres? Didn't the UN get him?

ReplyDeleteI wonder what poor white adherents to the conservative philosophy would think if they found out a bunch of niggers were making money off of it.
Oh well, I suggest you don't wonder into any of those impoverished white towns, lest you end up a real-life interpretation of this crap.
BTW....I have no problems with a carrier battle-group accompanying the President while he's visiting India. That's the only thing that keeps us relevant as a military threat to other nations. Most of our carriers have more air power than 95% of the nations in the world, and they can be ready to launch strikes in about three days, at the minimum. I was told that the speed of one of our carriers is classified, but they would admit you could barefoot ski behind one of them.
ReplyDeleteThat's gotta be 50-60 MPH. Multiply that by 24 hours, you get 1,320 miles per day....and they don't pull over for piss breaks, or to eat a burger.
As a water-skier myself, I can tell you, that's hauling ass.
Not many folks want to mess with that, unless they're nuts.

Traps are set, the unwary fall: Fox has no such separation of politics and job. How objective is that? It appears that MSNBC has more integrity, wouldn't you say?
This establishes yet another clear difference between the two competitors.
It's common practice for Fox--from Murdock on down to Hannity, and Beck--to mix politics and their job, actually appealing on-air for their listeners to donate to their guests' political ambitions.
Murdock, himself, has given at least a million dollars to the Republican Governors Association. Way to go, Murdy, set a good example for the troops under your command.
Kasich, Murdoch friendship behind $1M gift from News Corp to RGA
News Corp.’s $1 million gift to the Republican Governors Association was the result of Rupert Murdoch’s personal friendship with former Fox News host and Ohio gubernatorial hopeful John Kasich, Politico reported Wednesday night.
"According to the report, Murdoch, in Washington to receive an award from The Media Institute, brushed aside concerns that the gift, which was unusually large and one-sided for a media company, might hurt Fox’s credibility as a news organization that reports on politics."

If the anon is Republican or Tea Party, he has a portfolio and loves to see the stock market take off like it did this week.
Btw, WHY don't you have a portfolio? Are you suffering financially due to Obama-Dumbocratic finance? Well, the Repubs AND the Tea Party is in charge now. Things will get much better for America. So try to hold on.

Let's see -
ReplyDeleteThe liberal news network suspended a liberal news journalist who donating his own, private money to liberal political campaigns. Yeah, MSNBC that makes a lot of sense. Fox's 'righteous anger' is just a chance to hide their uncontrollable laughter.
A Black Rapper Says "Kill Me a Cop" in a song, two years in jail. A White Cop shoots an unarmed Black man in the back while he's on the ground and kills him - 2 years with time served.
Our nation went from electing the first Black President in 2008 to electing political activists who nativism, corporate servitude and anti-government fervor could mistaken for Hilter's Germany. (This isn't hyperbole, listen to some of these whackos.)
We literally saw right wing politicians bash the President for demanding a British Oil company clean up American waters that their bungling polluted.
All of this, and we still have a rudderless recession the last President caused and movement on the environment. If 2008-2009 was 'Star Wars IV: a New Hope' 2010 has definitely been 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
Here's looking for 'The Return of the Jedi' in 2011.

This is NOT the same thing as FOX "News" – KO is not a network and he didn't give $1 million to a political organization, he's never raised money on his broadcast nor suggested his viewers give money to a political party or candidate. I don't see why journalists are not allowed to make personal donations. They are not robots. They only things I would object to would be shilling for personal monetary gain, such as Glenn Beck selling gold coins, or shilling for the Dem party coffers, as the Fox guys do for the GOP, neither of which are the case.

Wow, I'm flattered Alicia. You decided to put down your prozac laced cheerios on a Saturday morning just to bash me in the same breath you bash KO? I must really get under you skin. Really, I'm touched.
So although Fox says things that aren't true about Black people, immigrants, Muslims, LGBT people, women, liberals and Europe day in and day out - its OK because they bash Obama so their obviously not a propaganda machine.
You do realize that this line of logic makes no sense, right?

mack--MSM journalists like those at networks, nyt, wapo, other newspapers are not allowed to make political contributions.
ReplyDeletealso not supposed to be visibly active in any other civic way, like supporting causes. the theory is it violates your code to be objective and can cause a conflict of interest that would cause you to skew what is supposed to be facts w/o spin or opinion. you're supposed to be clean and without an agenda, secret or otherwise. it's a tough way to life, esp. if you feel passionate about something or someone.
the question is why joe scarborough can make contributions without impunity and keith was hung out to try. have a policy, but enforce it evenly and fairly.
i don't know whether keith somehow was under different rules or in a different category. but if you're an employee and classified as in the news division, chances are the same rules apply.
LAC, nothing AB ever says makes any sense. she is the most negative, hateful, spiteful and visciously personal commenter on here. she repeats herself by the hour and has nothing new or useful to say. she's an expert on everything, yet never has any facts to support her position. she wouldn't know real journalism if it smacked her in her huge empty head.
she's given up her right vote and thus anything she says comes from a place of pure mindless spite with no desire to ever see in the good in anyone or anything and to do nothing but encourage people to buy into her self-absorbed views and self-created universe of negativity, heterophobia, hate and powerlessness.

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how you can distort reality and come up with an even more outrageous one.
Yes, we elected the first Black President and he did not live up to his promises. In fact, he chose to follow Bush's policy on war when he campaigned on ending it. I find it funny that YOU have never once acknowledged or said a word about all the killing our country is doing in Afghanistan.
Anyway, Obama is turning out to be the biggest disaster of all Presidents. He has been a lightening rod for racial tension and polarization. People like you contribute to this inhumane mess. Yet, you have the gall to insinuate that Republican Whites are Nazis--simply because they don't think like losers--which is like your stupid Dumbocratic ass.
People are against O's policies, and the direction those policies are taking America, not YOU, fool. However, some of the folks on this blog, like you, can only envision one thing: RACISM...that's ALL you farts EVER see...A BLACK AND WHITE WORLD. You are contributing more to racism than any other group in America... When are YOU going to become Americans and roll up your sleeves and make a positive contribution to God, Life, and country?
All you do is whine in your sickening self-pity of: "look what they are doing to us black folks." THAT ATTITUDE will do nothing but keep you at the end of the line. Apparently, folks like you, UTS and Granny think something positive will come out of it FOR YOU.
That is a big reason why Blacks are leaving you black liberal progressive dems...because you are 'NOT' progressive' at all, you are the opposite, which is BACKWARDS. Black dems and black progressives sing the same old crying 'poor me' tune. It is sickening. Yet, on the other hand, you won't get off your lazy dumb asses and vote. Go figure.

A similar event happened to Juan Williams.
All of the screaming in the media and from political groups against his suspension probably won't matter.
Let's hope that his suspension is temporary.

"You are contributing more to racism than any other group in America... When are YOU going to become Americans and roll up your sleeves and make a positive contribution to God, Life, and country?"
I spoke to god and he said that I contribute more than my fair share. But I don't mind, because he gave me a good heart. In fact, not only do us lib. prog. roll up our sleeves to help ourselves, but we roll it up to help others as well. We are only sick of folks like you wingnuts who sit on the sidelines and benefit from all our good works. That has been going on for some time now. In fact, I think that this country became wealthy that way.
Everyday it becomes clearer to me the value of black life in AmeriKKKa. For mistreating dogs, Michael Vick spends nearly two years in prison. For shooting himself in the leg, Plaxico Burress gets two years in jail with no opportunity for parole. The white murderer in Oakland gets two years, the same as Michael and Plax. This is either epic lunancy or stupidity on a level this country has not witnessed in a long time. Richard Pryor was right about AmeriKKKan "just us."

Hey! Maybe you need to call him up!
Field, I watched that video of Charlie Murphy at Grambling. It made me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Murphy one bit. He did not deserve such treatment. Some of those students were rude, stupid, classless and ignorant. They also deprived those who wanted to enjoy the show.
Of course, Grambling has never been a school of higher learning anyway. They probably can barely read, write or add.
The sad reality about being Black in America is our lack of respect and compassion for one another,--if nothing else as a recognition of our common bond as a race of people who have been mistreated throughout the history of America.
It just goes to show how badly we treat each other and think it is justified- like YOU do.
When you can justify wrong behavior, you are making socially unacceptable behavior acceptable.
Murphy's photo should not be in your sidebar, it should be Grambling.

ReplyDeleteBefore you heap too much praise on Pat Robertson keep in mind the following:
According to a 2 June 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot, Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia's mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda. In response to Taylor's alleged crimes against humanity the United States Congress passed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President Bush of "undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country." At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade.
Robertson is a fan of Thoroughbred horse racing, he paid $520,000 for a colt he named Mr. Pat. Trained by John Kimmel.
Also he has had political ambitions in the past which tend to blur the line between government and religion.
Just some food for thought. If we want we can always find things to criticize other denominations on.
Another godless force in the African diamond plunder is Pat Robertson, evangelist minister with the Christian Coalition. A Mobutu confidant, Robertson’s African Development Corp. used the “humanitarian” cover of “Operation Blessing” to plunder diamonds during Congo’s bloodbath. He worked closely with Charles Taylor (1997-2003). Robertson’s Freedom Gold, is today bleeding Liberia.

Field, "Really? No stock index funds in that puppy? I take it,that like all the other foolish wingnuts, you are deep into bonds? A short term investor. And I thought you repubs were supposed to be the wise ones when it comes to money.
ReplyDeleteLittle tip for you: start reducing most of your allocations to bonds.
You can thank me later.;)"
Your assume that I am in bonds? LOL.. I am in equities, gold/silver, commodities and emerging markets. FYI, People ought to be getting out of bonds and I think many are,--except Dumbocrats and left-wingnuts.
If you aren't in equities you are going to miss one hell of a bull market. Last week was just the beginning...Of course, progressive liberals tend to miss damn near everything anyway.:)
Must be nice to be gawd in 'Merica and know that the officer committed murder. Must be real sweet to sit at a computer and know all...including the tactile and weight differences between a Taser and firearm....while wrestling with a person.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get the impression that this was a show trial for hissy-fit folks who were shocked, shocked that an officer can use force on -gasp- their royal personages.
From some of the comments, I can easily discern that the authors have never had the distinct pleasure of physically restraining adults. It's not like the movies. And, given that some police are now smaller, Tasers are nice to have. Think of that when you see an officer dealing with thugs twice or three times their size.

Field, my stocks are outperforming what ever index funds you may be in. Btw, index funds are hurting because so many investors pulled out.

ReplyDeleteTrouble is, the US Dollar is toilet paper around the world. We keep printing more & more. AND more which makes it worthless. You youngster won't remember in Germany when they had to use a wheelbarrow of money, just to buy a loaf of bread. Cost about 500,000,000 Deutchmarks.
It's i932 Germany all over again.
How did they attempt to reduce their debt?
The financial Insitutions must be made accountable.
Anon3:26pm-You are right. Black life in America is less than others. It is certainly considered less than the life of Whites. Nevertheless, the value of black life has inched higher since slavery and Jim Crow. Be grateful for that and pray America never returns to slavery.

ReplyDeleteThe sad reality about being Black in America is our lack of respect and compassion for one another,--if nothing else as a recognition of our common bond as a race of people who have been mistreated throughout the history of America."
Sorry to keep blowing this horn-- America teaches its citizens to hate black people. Alas, some of those citizens are black citizens.
No place I see this more frequently than in the workplace.
It's sad indeed.

Here is the conundrum that I see. Mainstream folks (speaking code here) are quick to say how we as a group are not as patriotic as they are. Why doesn't my black neighbor fly the American flag, they ask? Why does it appear that they do not have blinding love of this country?
I'll be the first to admit that my patriotism and love of this country is very conditional and very limited. Why? It is limited becaue I don't believe my life is as valued as mainstream folks.
If you do not value me as a contributing member of society (i.e., work, pay taxes, seek ways to better myself) as a mainstream member, they don't ask me to have as much love for this country as mainstream folks. PERIOD!
Not_RJ, I agree. Everyone can clearly see the separation, distrust, and backstabbing of Blacks on each other. It's as though they really hate having their own people on the work force! I don't have much hope for Blacks as a race. Too much denial about self-hatred, most of which is probably unconscious.
ReplyDeleteOne can see this behavior in Obama.

I share your hopelessness and despair as a collective. However, I still have some hope on the individual level.
When I encounter one of these types of blacks on the job, I totally avoid and shut them off. It's ashame, but I need to protect my sanity.
Funny, I don't remember any riots when O.J. got away with murder.
ReplyDeleteNope, you saw how blacks and whites really feel about each other. The split screen view of the two groups as the verdict was read was priceless.
ReplyDeleteDon't despair, you folks eventually got him...lol.
What we learned was priceless. Thanks for the lesson in barbarism.
ReplyDeleteBarbarism...lol? The reality check is free. Glad to have given it.
ReplyDeleteFN- like several black people you have pointed out that Mike Vick served more time for killing a dog. Yet you're oblivious to the fact that
ReplyDeleteMartha Stewart served more time than those 7 black males who stomped to death an elderly man (the Tuba Man) in Seattle last year. They got a few weeks.
Out of those 20 black males who stabbed to death Yakel Rosenbaum while screaming "kill the kike" only ONE was charged and he was aquitted by a BLACK jury although he admitted to doing it.
Bernie Madoff stole for a bunch of rich people and is doing 150 years.
Don't those discrepencies bother you too? There are many black males who have stolen AND murdered and gotten 15 years! Madoff may be a crook but he is a harmless old man. Unlike those who stomp to death old people, murder preganant women in carjackings, or stab people to death while screaming "kill the kike" in lynch mobs.
ps- The cop in the Grant case said he thinks about Grant every moment and always will remember his actions and Grant's death. Lemrick Nelson, the guy who stabbed to death Yakel Rosenbaum, was recently tracked down. He said it was a "youthful insecresion" and that he never even thinks about it.
And I should care about this "outragous" sentencing of the cop? Nope. Chickens come home to roost. Many black males have gotten away with just as much, and the victims were treated with far less sensitivity than Grant's family by the black community
The myopia and denial you people display is laughable.
ReplyDeleteAs a collective, since that's how you people think, who has gotten away with more crime since the inception of this country, the so-called black community, or the so-called white community?
Who has gotten away with more theft of wealth, the so-called black community, or the so-called white community?
I don't expect you people to feel anything when Oscar Grant is killed by a white cop. Just don't expect for me to feel anything when someone of you ilk is a victim.
Cool?

Actually, unequal justice always offends me. You cite some noteworthy examples, but history doesn't lie.

Tell me you didn't agree with the insanity this anon is postulating. Most of the anons here are white, Republicans, racists, and out to impress us with the worst stereotypes they've managed to construct over the years.
Blacks are no more likely to indulge in distrust, backstabbing and self-hatred than any other ethnic group be they white, brown or yellow.
I've met my share of the people so described from all ethnic groups. Those characteristics are not unique to us.
Field, "Okaaay, keep following those Glenn Beckkk tips. "Goldline" anyone? :)"
ReplyDeleteGlenn Beck? What does he have to do with stock tips? That's what I call being out of touch with reality, which is the typical pattern of progressive liberal thinking. You DO keep Beck as a mainstay in your mind. Hope it's not due to hate or fear. No peace of mind can come from it.

First of all, you must be a newly born Negro because an experienced Black person in the world can tell, or at the very least, sense that I am Black. I've been on this blog for years.
Secondly, MOST of the anons on FN are NOT White, Republican and racist. They might be Republican, but they are Black. So you don't know what the hell you are talking about, Negro.
Thirdly, it doesn't matter what Whites, Browns or any other race do to each other.... It 'matters' what Blacks are doing to each other because 'WE' ARE the ones who are perceived as having less value than Whites and Asians. Consequently, we don't need to add to our misery by stabbing each other in the back. GET IT?... If you think by claiming Whites backstab each other that somehow that MINIMIZES the hurt we do to each other in the "White" business world, then you are one 'dumb' Negro, and you are unable to relate to what it's like to be Black in America and being part of fragmented race.
Maybe it's NOT the anons- but instead YOU are actually White, Republican, and racist?

ReplyDeleteThat is very bothersome because it was a murder of some innocent human being by a pack of inhumane animals, regardless of their color or race. It was wrong and apparently justice failed miserably in this case. It won't be the first time, and it certainly won't be the last. As a black person I know. I lost several love ones to lynchings by Whites without a trial.

If you can justify your racist attitude based on selective cases that appear to you as the failure of the White justice system because of Blacks, then go ahead and hate Blacks. But you should also hate Whites, because they hold the power in their own system of justice. Do you hate the Germans because of WWII? If so, then you have a lot of hate which is doing no harm to Nazis or Blacks but it is eating you alive.
But it's your life and your choice.
