Day 93

The Shirley Sherrod situation is a lose-lose for the Obama adminisration and a Godsend to the NeoCons, sucking all the air out of Obama’s  twin Congressional victories on unemployment benefit extensions and economic reform.  Things better improve for the Democrats quickly, or this November could turn ugly.

But hopefully not this ugly.  Listen to this death threat sent to the NAACP.

And what is the current plan in the Gulf?  Is there any strategy in place to prevent another disaster, or clean up the current mess?

All this, your calls, and more on the program tonight!  877-996-2556!

    Regarding the dumping of the woman from the USDA job, last I heard is that the USDA is “rethinking” their decision to dump her. If they DO offer the job back to her, I hope she does NOT accept it. Why? Because this is a PRIME example of why she should SUE the ever lovin’ SHIT out of the USDA and ALSO the President! If she does NOT sue them cowardly, reactionary SONSABITCHES, then what is going to stop them from acting/reacting similarly again in the future!?! No FREAKING WAY should ANY President get involved in the H.R. aspect of a Federal employee in a situation like this. This is NOTHING like firing a General in the military for publicly talking smack about the President and the Administration.

    This lady NEEDS to SUE the President and the USDA so there will be a precedent to protect the rest of us from this kind of BULLSHIT!!!! If EVER there was an example of how PUSSY-WHIPPED the current Administration is and how COWARDLY they are and kowtow to these FUCKING RePIGlicans and the right-wing extremists (e.g. – Faux News, TeaBaggers, Limpballs, etc.), this example of dumping this woman NAILS it!

    Cowards yes. They have the track record: July 21st, 2009. Prosecutors in Cambridge, Mass. dropped a disorderly conduct charge against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested by a white officer at his home near Harvard University after a report of a break-in. (Translation– Obama gives a pass to a racist cop and police department, in exchange for that department ending its campaign against an uppity Negro.)
    “Pussy whipped,” not so much. A woman just screwed– and it wasn’t consensual.

    Why do I “bash” Obama? This government just let Alberto Gonzales off the hook.

    Except for the corporate princes, we are all Buffalo Soliders now– white, black and brown (even if we hate each other.) Our survival depends on doing the dirty work for an social/economic system that thrives on our impoverishment. Slave away at a job that rewards you less every year. Or be a hero, and go fight and die to defend the interests of a class that despises you.

    Matt, I don’t know how any “true” progressive could blame you for “bashing” Obama. Obama is a center-right, corporate Democrat. I feel Obama has been a continued disappointment for all true progressives that were hoping he’d move more to the left and like FDR be “forced” into becoming a true progressive. That didn’t and never will happen.

    In 2012 I will NOT vote for Obama. Who knows if we’ll get a decent Green Party choice, but I’ve decided that I will vote, but I will most likely write in Dennis Kucinich for President even if he isn’t running, which I’m SURE the Democratic Party wouldn’t allow anyone to run against Obama. Respect for the incumbent? Screw that B.S. notion! I will NOT support Obama or any “corporate” Democrat. Will my write-in vote be a waste? Maybe to the Democrats, but certainly not to ME!

    Anyone who claims to love America can no longer afford to vote for either of the two major parties. A viable Green Party is our only hope. Sadly though, many of us listened to the lies spewed by the DLC and other centrist/right wing Democratic party operatives for so long that we don’t have time to build a viable Green Party.

    This is called game over. But instead of barbarian hordes burning our cities and raping our children the murderous mobs come in suits and ties. They call them selves C.E.O.s and Senators, and Congressman, and President…..

    All this talk about racism is complete bulls***. I can’t believe at THIS SHAKY TIME in US history that ANY of this nation’s so-called LEADERS or news media would be wasting the Public’s time with this pitiful madness. F*** YOU @$$****’s.

    The likes of Breitbart and this evil cabal at FOX News need to be stopped, NOW! Storm them at their places of business and END THIS PATHETIC BULLSHIT before they incite anymore of the mental deficient’s to strike out. (right Byron Williams? you demon m*****er) …organize. Organize, ORGANIZE!

    Is there just ONE of you pathetic sworn oath mofo’s that KNOWS what your doing? PLEASE tell me your plan… y’know, what PoliticHo’s are going to do about the SAD state of this nation?

    I’ve come to the conclusion that Republicans are f***’n INSANE! I preach that because the American PEOPLE are suffering through the results of 8 miserable years of Bush/Cheney and the Republican controlled congress (1994-2006)… and the SHAMELESS, HYPOCRITICAL b*****’s refuse to take RESPONSIBILITY!

    Criminals in Congress (such as Tom Delay) created a system of politician/lobbyist collusion that’s ILLEGAL in most civilized western nations. The set themselves up SWEET at the expense of the American PEOPLE!

    Waste, fraud, abuse, scandal, sexual deviancy, corruption, lies, incompetence, job outsourcing, off-shore tax evasion, reckless economics, welfare for the rich, deregulation, war profiteering, Constitutional violations AND a Corporate Crime Wave of epic proportions…. The WORST looting of a nation’s wealth and resources in the history of MANKIND!

    NOTE: (Where was the Tea Party anger THEN? Ya #*~/ ignorant hypocrites)

    AND these crazy, paranoid, hateful right-wingers are making a big deal about WHAT? TWO Black Panthers?? I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole voter intimidation thing was paid for/set up by some racist fanatic GOP operative. (like the whole Alvin Greene fiasco in SC and the 2000 Presidential election) Republicans love their “DIRTY TRICKS”, don’t they?

    Here’s the thing… Republicans are TERRIFIED the American PEOPLE are going to RISE UP and DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY! So ANY divisive tool they can find will be used to keep the public focused on BS. It doesn’t matter Black VS White, White VS Hispanic, Men VS Women, with a side of severe ideological/religious superiority complexes, etc…

    The point is to BURY or DIVERT attention from stories about Republican Party crimes against humanity. The main thing Republicans seems to be striving for is to remain UNACCOUNTABLE for everything. QUIT WASTING the TAXPAYERS TIME!

    You know what, I‘ll be the blame guy? Maybe THEN you so-called representatives of the American PEOPLE can get some WORK DONE. If the cowards just blame ME for all the low grade thought processes, warped policy, closed minds and incompetence.

    Here I’ll make it EASY for you stiffs. You want racism, I’ll give you sarcastic racism:

    You WASP m*****’s, the problem with America begins/ends with White Anglo Saxon Protestants. With their f**** blue eyes, freckles and Sean Hannity. Nothing but a bunch of vain, self-serving, greed stricken, power mad, celebrity worshipping, holier-than-thou, silver spoon con artists.

    For GOD’s sake, even Pat Robertson/700 Club is criticizing the regulatory reforms of Wall St. In Biblical times, these whacked out, so-called Christians would have been in the Temple protecting the money changers from JESUS.

    AND you Mormons, Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney… NEED I SAY MORE?

    #*~/’n Gays and Lesbians… WHAT, you spoiled fags ain’t got enough, already? All the best, good paying jobs, movies, theater, style, fashion and West Hollywood wasn’t enough for you, right? (lol) NOOooo you spoiled basterds have to have the EQUAL RIGHTS too! #*~?’n crybabies…

    Hey, lets not forget about trouble making Niggers who want to use all that money for Corporate subsidies on HELPING POOR PEOPLE. #*~/’n Eggplants are kissing up to the Crackers… Watching their TV commercials, buying all their plastic crap in many pretty colors or getting hooked on CSI Miami. The world’s gone completely mad. Crackers acting like Niggers, Niggers acting like Crackers… everything is all mixed up and divisive, right?

    All that White Collar Crime and Republicans are blaming Mexican laborers and the POOR? 40 MILLION Americans struggling below the poverty level, 2 million illegal immigrants and 2 Black Panthers are the REAL threat, right?

    And those f*** Saudi Arabians. I know those sneaky bastards are up to something evil, right? You’re making a GIANT suicide bomb in the Gulf, aren’t you. Those aren’t dispersants, that’s fertilizer that mixed with all the spilled oil. You Muslim ****’s want to WIPE OUT most of the USA in one big environmental catastrophe, methane gas BLAST! Worse than any nuke, RIGHT?

    And the Jews… JESUS Christ, where do I start? (lol) Goldman Sachs and Lehman Bros alone is enough, right? The banks, Wall Street, the broadcast news media, TV and that @$$**** Joe Liebermann? What the f***… Is making outrageous profits REALLY worth screwing over your fellow Americans/human beings for?

    Ok, I think I covered all the RACISM bases… (sorry) Now BLAME ME, and then move on to SOLVE ALL THE DIRE DISASTERS our great nation is facing. Ya waste of Tax Payer dollars mofo’s… NOW GET TO WORK!

    @ All

    It’s interesting that you guys didn’t say much during Bush’s 8-year reign of terror, but, at every chance you get, are ready and willing to vilify Obama.
    The death threat against the NAACP says it all. Sadly, this is what this country has become: a bunch of ignorant, racist pigs.
    No one reacted quite like this to any of this President’s 43 predecessors. Guess why.
