“MSNBC’s Alex Wagner is caught muttering ‘Jesus’ under her breath as a clip of Rick Santorum talking about classes in America plays.
‘There’s a term I know that people use all the time called ‘middle class.’ As if there are classes in America,’ Santorum said.” — RealClearPolitics.Com
I was watching “Now with Alex Wagner” on MSNBC when that segment aired, and I didn’t hear her mutter “Jesus” when Santorum was babbling incoherently abut there being no classes in America. Instead of uttering “Jesus” under her breath, Wagner should have loudly exclaimed “Jesus“, that would have been a succinct, and concise commentary. Santorum’s patently absurd pronouncement didn’t deserve any in-depth analysis, a simple “Jesus” would have sufficed.
Wagner is an analyst and not a news anchor, but even if Diane Sawyer muttered “Jesus” under the same circumstances, most viewers would forgive her impromptu editorializing.
When I hear any of the GOP presidential hopefuls on TV speak on any subject, I often mumble expletives in disbelief at their contorted logic.
Alex Wagner is an insightful analyst, but she needs to cut loose. Girlfriend, don’t be afraid to shout out “Jesus” the next time Santorum, Gingrich, Perry or any of the other GOP clowns makes an outrageous statement.
Despite the fact that the majority of people using food stamps in the United States are not African-American but white, Newton Leroy Gingrich and his “sidekick” or “junior partner” as Newt prefers to refer to Rick Santorum, are pushing hard on the “Obama is the best food stamp president of all time.“
Both despicable race-baiters are oblivious of that the country has been undergoing the worst economic downturn since the great depression of the 1930′s — which started in 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s — the longest, most widespread, and deepest depression of the 20th century, and that there are far more whites on social welfare than blacks in the United States.
“I’m prepared, if the NAACP invites me, I’ll go to their convention and talk about why the African American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps,”
Gingrich said.
Gingrich’s comments follow those by rival candidate Rick Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania who said last Sunday that he did not want to “make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.”
“It goes right to the heart of real racism — that African Americans are lazy and don’t want to work and depend entirely on handouts,”
Oscar Eason, president of the NAACP State Conference of Alaska, Oregon and Washington State, told CBS Radio.
The numbers go like this:61% of the population receiving welfare, listed as “means-tested cash assistance” by the Census Bureau, is identified as white, while only 33% is identified as black. These numbers notwithstanding, the Republican version of “political correctness” has given us “welfare cheat” as a new term for African American since the early days of Ronald Reagan. Yet if the Lakers were 61% white and on a winning streak, would we be calling them a “black team”?
White folks have been gobbling up the welfare budget while blaming someone else. But it’s worse than that. If we look at Social Security, which is another form of welfare, although it is often mistaken for an individual insurance program, then whites are the ones who are crowding the trough. Whites receive almost twice as much per capita, for an aggregate advantage to the white race of $10 billion a year — much more than the $3.9 billion advantage African Americans gain from their disproportionate share of welfare. One sad reason: whites live an average of six years longer than African Americans, meaning that young black workers help subsidize a huge and growing “overclass” of white retirees. There’s a reason for resentment, though it has more to do with class than with race. White people are poor too, and in numbers far exceeding any of our more generously pigmented social groups. And poverty as defined by the government is a vast underestimation of the economic terror that persists at incomes — such as $20,000 or even $40,000 and above — that we like to think of as middle class.

FYI:Mitt Romney is a phony with gobs of hair gel. Newt Gingrich is a phony with gobs of historical grandiosity. But next to Romney, Gingrich seems authentic. Next to Herman Cain, Gingrich seems faithful. Next to Jon Huntsman, Gingrich seems conservative. Next to Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, Gingrich actually does look like an intellectual. Unlike the governor of Texas, he surely knows the voting age. To paraphrase Raymond Chandler, if brains were elastic, Perry wouldn’t have enough to make suspenders for a parakeet. — MAUREEN DOWD on the GOP Candidates For 2012 [ READ MORE ]
Reports indicate that “white-female” groping artist Herman Cain is in the process of deciding if he should drop out of the primary race.
Poor Cain has failed to establish that he has the character, including the knowledge and judgment, to be president. He is a liar and a cad — caked with ignorance about basic issues, as bad as or worse than Sarah ‘DEATH’ Palin.
The GOP Minstrel, Sambo and Coon – all rolled into one, has finally stumbled head first into the shit pail he has been carrying around for the hopelessly racist right-wing faction of the Republican party.
Thirteen year lover Ginger White‘s sexual allegations broke the dam finally, driving in the final nail and sealing “long dong” Cain’s political coffin tight ….for keeps!.
NOTES: “Boy, don’t you shame me, and don’t you shame the race.” — Clarence Thomas’s Grandfather to his son, Justice Clarence Thomas, adding: “Boy, you are now of age, and don’t you ever look at a white woman.” [ READ MORE ]
No matter what Mr. 9-9-9 does henceforth, he will go down in history as one of the biggest uncle-tom jokestars of all time — a prank, a fraud and a piece of shit.
Had it been 1912, Herman Cain would have been arrested and jailed for — “transportingWHITEwomen across state lines for immoral purposes,” like black heavyweight boxer Jack Johnson, who lusted after white women while under racist Jim-Crow enforcement.
———————————-
It seems that cockamamie serial adulterer and scam-artist extraordinaire Newton Leroy Gingrich — is set to benefit most from Cain’s major “dick collapse!”
I Hope he passes on the viagra too — to Gingrich, …for we need “filthy” Newt duking it out with “squeaky clean” Obama in 2012.
The New York Daily News reported on Wednesday that George W. Bush wouldn’t be at Ground Zero with President Obama Thursday in part because he feels his team is getting short shrift in the decade-long manhunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Obama Meets 9/11 Families at Ground Zero
“[Bush] viewed this as an Obama victory lap,” a highly-placed source told the Daily News Wednesday.
“He doesn’t feel personally snubbed and appreciates the invitation, but Obama’s claiming all the credit and a lot of other people deserve some of it,” the source added.
“Obama gave no credit whatsoever to the intelligence infrastructure the Bush administration set up that is being hailed from the left and right as setting in motion the operation that got Bin Laden. It rubbed Bush the wrong way.”
Bush spokesman David Sherzer said Bush “appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight.”
Bush’s cabal directed an illegal war on Iraq, based on blatantly falsified evidence. His claims of weapons of mass destruction(WMDs) and a connection between Iraq and al-Qaeda were patently false. The ding-bat ended up causing the deaths of over a million+ innocent Iraqi women and children and thousands US soldiers.
That’s premeditated murder!
Bush sanctioned extreme torture — severely violating the constitution of the United States, and screwed up a healthy economy turned over to him by Bill Clinton big time, resulting in the current economic mess.
Notes: First Republican ‘Primary’ Debate (Greenville, South Carolina,05/05/2011) — Only five GOP hopefuls took part, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas), former Sen. Rick Santorum (PA.), former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain.
It wasn’t a feast of fearmongering like the 2007 New Hampshire debate, because the real lunatics — Gingrich, Palin, Huckabee and Trump were missing in action.
First Republican “Primary” Debate — The “Jokester LineUp”
One lone lunatic hyena participated — the homophobic abortion-terrorist, Rick ‘Man on Dog‘ Santorum. The former PA Senator slipped in a “Bush on Obama Smear” ….. Mr. Santorum called President Obama’s foreign policy “a continuation of Bush policies,” otherwise most of the attacks on Obama were on the economy and health care.
The token black man in the debate, His Minstrelsy Herman Cain, performed his usual “Jumping Jim-Crow” antics — to the satisfaction of the predominantly white racist gaze.
The vast majority of the people sitting in with Republican pollCOOKster Frank Luntz said Cain had won the debate with his “directness” and “straightforward” delivery — READ:Clown Act. (This despite the fact that when asked about what he would do in Afghanistan, he replied that he would rely on “the experts and their advice and their input.”
Luntz appeared blown away by the response to Cain, which he cast as unprecedented. “Something very special happened this evening,” he said.
Yeah, something special alright — a black man who will never, repeat NEVER be elected to the highest office by a thoroughly racist Republican electorate — won the debate!
