G.O.P ‘Boot-Licker’ Rep. Allen West’s(R-FL) Uncouth Anti-Obama, Anti-Democratic Party Thuggery

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


“When white folks (Republicans) can’t defeat you, they’ll always find some Negro, some boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger that they can trot out in front of you.”The late Khalid Abdul Muhammad
————————————
The existence of men like Herman Cain (and Allen West) represents a stomach-churning example of how the disease of racism continues to affect American society.Dr. Boyce Watkins.

Congressman Allen West (R-FL) spoke in West Palm Beach a few days ago where he displayed unhinged hatred for president Obama and the Democratic party.

“We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain’t on the table,” West said. “Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

Following cheers, West added, “Yeah I said ‘hell.’

UNCLE Allen West To Obama ‘Get The Hell Out of The United States of America’

NOTES From MMFA: Defending Rep. Allen West from criticism over recent comments that President Obama and Democratic leaders need to take their message and “get the hell out of the United States of America,” Fox News’ Eric Bolling cited West’s military service and reproached co-host Bob Beckel for not addressing the Florida Republican as “Representative Allen West” or “Lieutenant Colonel Allen West,” because he “risked his life for our freedom.” Bolling’s sudden embrace of formality, however, stands in stark contrast with the way he talks about President Obama.

Colonel” Allen West committed war crimes in Iraq, then got off easy. Military prosecutors clearly indicated that West routinely tortured prisoners in Iraq. West has been listed right next two of the most well known torturers at Abu Ghraib, Lynddie England and Charles Graner.

Then, brainless Tea-Party morons elected him to Congress in 2010, after he was kicked off (“retired“) the military. Ever since, this despicable uncle-tom has demonstrated clearly why he should be serving time in prison and not Congress.

This should be shocking news, but it’s not the first time war criminals have found a nice home in the brutal Republican Political machine. READ MORE HERE: http://tinyurl.com/Allen-West-Crimes

Gingrich Employs Classic ‘I Have a Black Friend’ Excuse To Defend ‘FoodStamp Racism’; Fact-Checking ‘Flip-Flop Maestro’ Mitt Romney, a Syphilitic Liar!

Newt Gingrich thinks because he worked with Colin Powell & Condi Rice, he can teach the NAACP about foodstamps!

Gingrich’s Defense of Racist Foodstamp Statements

Scary: What New Hampshire Progressive Voters Think of The 2012 GOP Field

That’s the classic — “I have black friends, so I am not a racist” excuse! Racists often use this scheme to justify their evil doings — and, it’s nothing new in Republican campaign discourse.

Race-Baiting has been a staple of the GOP’s Southern Strategy Playbook in the last 50 years. In the eighties, Ronald Reagan, the greatest PR swindle in American history, successfully embedded into “frightened” white minds the false notion of “black welfare queens.

In the eyes of many whites to date — black people are free-loading leeches feeding off the government coffers — paid for by white people.

——————

Racial minorities in the U.S. have spent their lifetimes in a society that has traditionally valued whites over them. For hundreds of years whites have dominated almost all aspects of life in the United States — including the key ingredient that holds the institution of racism together — political power.

It therefore didn’t come as a surprise that when Obama broke the “political power streak” — and, for the first time, a non-white president accepted the oath of office — white America rapidly began to lose its grip.

About 12:01 on the afternoon of January 20, 2009, the white American brain finally went haywire in spectacular fashion.

Hello …Tea Party!

Old school Gingrich and Santorum still strongly believe that an all out racist campaign will win them the presidency. Unfortunately for these two troglodytes, America has changed significantly in the last fifty years. Yes, there are still many who are rabidly racist, but they represent a fast shrinking portion of the electorate — which in another 10 to 20 years — will be reduced to an insignificant bunch of old, dying — hungry howling hyenas.

Huffington Post: On Monday, in response to a question about health care following a routine Chamber of Commerce speech, super-wealthy Romney tried to illuminate the virtues of a free market.

I like being able to fire people who provide services to me,” he said, his expression altering perceptibly as he heard the words tumble out. “You know, if someone doesn’t give me a good service, then I want to say, ‘I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.’”

FoodStamp Politics: Santorum, Romney & Gingrich Appeal To GOP Bigots With LIES & Racially Charged Comments

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


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.

Here are the facts:

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.

GOP’s ‘Southern Strategy’ To Blame For Black Legislators Loss of Political Clout in South

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


   By: DeWayne Wickham
DeWayne Wickham.The lead to a recent Associated Press story about the declining influence of black lawmakers in the South reads like something written by the late Lee Atwater, the race-baiting former Republican Party chairman and GOP spin-doctor.

“(An) overwhelming allegiance to the Democratic Party has left them (black lawmakers in the South) without power in increasingly GOP-controlled state legislatures,” the AP said, citing a report by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

Racial politics

In the early 1980s, Atwater was a master manipulator of the news media and crafty manager of the GOP’s Southern Strategy, which uses racial fear to herd white Democrats into the Republican Party. He — like Richard Nixon before him — understood that a subtle appeal to racism would, over time, change the political landscape of the South.

This is what he said during a 1981 interview about how the Republican Party could marginalize blacks:

“You start out in 1954 by saying ‘—-, n—–, n—–.’ By 1968 you can’t say ‘n—-’ — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now (that) you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic … because obviously sitting around saying, ‘We want to cut this,‘ is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than ‘—–, n—–.‘”

The AP story, which was published by news media outlets across the country, left out this critical context. The constant is the allegiance of blacks to the Democratic Party. That isn’t news. It’s the impact on these black lawmakers of the mass migration of Southern whites to the GOP that is the news.

Joint Center report

David Bositis, a political scientist and the author of the Joint Center report, seemed to make just this point:

“In most Southern states, the 46-year transition from a multiracial Democratic (Party) political dominance to a white conservative Republican political dominance is almost complete.”

PLAYLIST: The Southern Strategy

Marginalized

But while this change has taken place over nearly half a century, it has moved at warp speed over the past two years. Before the 2010 election, 51 percent of black legislators in the South were a part of a state legislative majority. After elections that year and this year, the number dropped to just under 5 percent, according to Bositis.

These changes have come in a political climate in which Republicans have craftily used the abstractions of “states’ rights” and calls for lower taxes to bring more white voters into the GOP fold.

2008′s impact

An even bigger missed story in the analysis of Bositis’ report might be the connection between the 2008 election of Barack Obama and the increased pace with which Southern Democrats lost control of state legislatures — and nearly all black legislators in the old Confederacy suddenly became members of the minority party.

Instead of ushering in the post-racial era, the election of this nation’s first black president has seemingly widened racial fault lines, most noticeably in the South. The Joint Center report is just the most recent evidence of this.

But just as the unchanged voting habits of black Southerners aren’t responsible for the loss of political influence for black legislators in that region, Obama’s election didn’t forestall the end of the Jim Crow era that Republicans made an integral part of this nation’s politics with their Southern Strategy — and which they continue to use as a political abstraction.

Somewhere, Atwater — who offered a suspect apology for his bad acts before his death in 1991 — must be smiling.

Survey: Fox News Viewers are Dumber Than People Who Don’t Watch News at All

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


MMFA: The release of yet another survey indicating the more you watch Fox News the less they know, has once again shone a spotlight on one of the unique features that defines Rupert Murdoch’s cable news outlet – it is very, very good at misinforming people. And it’s very bad at reporting the news.

It’s true that the most recent survey, conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University, only polled adults in New Jersey and doesn’t represent national indictment against Fox. Nonetheless, the findings created a media stir because they reinforce what pollsters and academics previously discovered; that one of the country’s all-news channels consistently leaves viewers less informed.

What’s stunning is how many different areas of the news and public policy Fox viewers are misinformed about. For instance, the Fairleigh Dickinson survey asked viewers about recent grassroots uprisings in Arab nations: [ CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS ]
