Cliven Bundy Educates The World About Those “Negro” People – Video

And now it’s all coming together. If you were wondering why Fox News and Republican leaders like Rick Perry were so adamant in their support for the land stealing, law breaking rancher from Nevada, maybe this little nugget from the New York Times could explain their undying support.

In an interview with the Times, Cliven Bundy explained a few things that allowed us to see exactly who the man is and why his appeal with right-wingers is so strong.

One of those identifiers is his vast knowledge of the “negros” and his willingness to share that knowledge with the rest of the world.

From The Times.

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

Court records show that Bundy owes around $1 million dollars in fees to the government for illegally grazing his cattle on federal lands. Despite being warned to remove his cattle and pay the fines, Bundy continued grazing on the lands for another 20 years without paying what he owed, and today he has extended his illegal grazing to include even more federally owned lands.

In other words, Bundy is a taker, a moocher who is robbing taxpaying Americans and making huge profits along the way. He is a law breaker who is fattening his wallet on the government’s dime. But still, he has the nerve to broadcast his dumb stereotype about an entire group of people, insinuating that black people sit on their porch all day, waiting for their government handouts. You know, the same underlying message Fox News push in their media outlets, the same message Congressional Republicans include in their policies – be afraid of the lazy black people coming to take your staff!

Now we see why they agree with Bundy’s law-breaking ways. Birds of a feather I guess…

Teacher Fired After Telling Student, “We Don’t Need Another Black President”

Photo: Screen shot

The incident happened back in December when an African American student said that he would like to follow in the footsteps of President Obama. The teacher was placed on suspension after telling the student, “we don’t need another black president.”

During a hearing into the incident on Thursday, The Fairfield Board of Education in Ohio voted 4-0 to terminate Freshman science teacher Gil Voigt.

According to the Associated Press, Voigt is accustomed to making such statements and the committee referenced some of these incidents as unacceptable in their recommendation to fire the teacher.

Fairfield Superintendent Paul Otten said in a statement, “The District felt that the evidence was sufficient to support the termination of Mr. Voigt’s employment. The referee recommended such termination, and the board has concurred.”

Voigt taught at the school for 13 years.

Nancy Pelosi calls Out Republican Racism Against President Obama

The president wouldn’t say it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And his silence on the matter doesn’t mean others aren’t see in the truth.

We’re talking about racism and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is pointing a finger directly at the problem – the Republicans.

In a recent interview,  Pelosi was asked if she thought racism was the foundation of the Republicans’ opposition to the president, more specifically in reference to immigration. She basically answered yes.

“I think race has something to do with them not bringing up the immigration bill. I’ve heard them say to the Irish, ‘If it was just you, it would be easy,’” Pelosi said, when a reporter asked if race was a factor in Republicans stances and how they treat the president and others.

“I think generally speaking, they are disrespectful of the representatives of the president’s administration,” Pelosi said, adding that she didn’t “want to go to that place” about whether the GOP were disrespectful to the president.

Baseball Great Hank Aaron Compare Republicans to Racists With “neckties and starched shirts”

In an interview with USA Today, baseball great Hank Aaron took a careful look at the racism he faced when he was in pursuit of breaking Babe Ruth’s record, and he came to the conclusion that not much have changed since the racist letters he received back then and the things President Obama is going through now.

Mr. Aaron shared parts of one of the letters he kept all these years, a portion of which read “[y]ou are not going to break this record established by the great Babe Ruth if I can help it. Whites are far more superior than jungle bunnies. My gun is watching your every black move.”

When asked why he kept the letters, he said “[t]o remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

“We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics,” he continued. “Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated. We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.”
“The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Charlie Rangel Calls The Teaparty “Racists” and “Mean”

I think the Democratic Congressman is just calling it as he sees it. They claim that they’re against “big spending government,” but where was the Teaparty when Bush spent us into oblivion?

In an interview with NY1, Rangel said “it’s hard for me to explain how you work with a president that thought that he could really deal with the Republican leadership,” Rangel said. “Maybe it was the water that they drink at Harvard,” he continued, referring to Obama’s time at Harvard Law School.

While Rangel was disappointed with the president, his ire was at its most intense when discussing the Tea Party. If Rangel had to describe the right-wing movement in a word, it would appear he’d have a hard time choosing between “racist” and “mean.”

“They are mean, racist people,” Rangel said of the Tea Party. “Now why do I say that? Because in those red states, they’re the same slave-holding states.”

“They had the Confederate flag,” he continued. “They became Dixiecrats; they had the Confederate flag. They’re now the Tea Party; they still got the Confederate [flag].”

“I don’t think that’s a coincidence,” Rangel added. “There is nothing the president can do – not love of country, not love of party – that they’re not prepared to kill themselves to get to him.”

As Politicker.com notes, this isn’t the first time Rangel has attacked the Tea Party and described the movement as racist in nature. During the Summer of 2013, Rangel said Tea Partyers were “the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police.”

This South Dakota Republican Lawmaker is All FOR Racism

I know right? These days it seems like all Republican lawmakers are in favor of racism, or secism, or any other forms of isms you can think of. The examples are overwhelming.

Here’s another example. His name is Phil Jensen and he is a Republican Senator from Dakota.

It is Mr. Jensen’s position that businesses should be allowed to refuse blacks service if they so choose.

Here’s Phil Jensen, in his own words.

“If someone was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and they were running a little bakery for instance, the majority of us would find it detestable that they refuse to serve blacks, and guess what? In a matter of weeks or so that business would shut down because no one is going to patronize them,” Jensen told the Rapid City Journal in a story that suggested he just might be the crimson red state’s “most conservative lawmaker.”

In this year’s legislative session, Jensen offered up a bill that was even more extreme than the legislation in Arizona that would have given businesses an opening to discriminate against LGBT customers.

Unlike the Arizona bill, Jensen’s measure was explicit. It aimed to give business owners permission to deny service based on a customer’s “sexual orientation” without the fear of a lawsuit.

The legislation was ultimately killed in committee, with one GOP lawmaker calling it “a mean, nasty, hateful, vindictive bill.”

But Jensen, who moved to South Dakota from Kansas in 2003 with a sign taped to his truck saying he was heading north to “Vote Senator [Tom] Daschle Out,” remains steadfast in his support of the bill.

“It’s a bill that protects the constitutional right to free association, the right to free speech and private property rights,” he told the Journal.

Jensen did not respond to TPM’s request for comment.

Today’s Racism – Minnesota Republican Likens NBA Players to Criminals

Given that blacks represent the majority of players in the NBA, it is easy to see the racism in this Republican’s statement.

A Minnesota legislator’s tweet about the NBA has prompted hundreds of responses, with many on social media calling it racist.

State Rep. Pat Garofalo sent a tweet Sunday that read: “Let’s be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime.”

The Star Tribune reports that when asked about the tweet, the Farmington Republican said he was “talking about NBA’s high arrest rate and that they are the only major pro league that testing positive for marijuana is not a substance abuse violation.”

Garofalo added: “No intent beyond that.”

Within two hours of his tweet, more than 600 people retweeted it and hundreds more responded. Many called the comment he made in the tweet racist.

Today in Racism – Florida Man Flys KKK Flag on His Front Lawn


Some neighbors in a western Boca Raton neighborhood who have to see a Ku Klux Klan symbol raised each day are raising their voices in protest. One resident has chosen to fly a KKK flag in his front yard, as well as display ‘Members Wanted’ sign and a noose.

“They never said anything to my face and they’re entitled to their own free speech as well as I am,” said the man, who identified himself as Mr. K. Hayes.

His flag – and its symbolism – have some neighbors outraged and offended.

“It’s reminding me of back in the old days,” said Margaret Martin, who recently moved in across the street on Sandalfoot Boulevard. “I didn’t think that was still going on anymore. This is 2014.”

On his business card, Hayes refers to himself as a recruiter for the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan. Some neighbors say Hayes has tried to influence local children with conversations, literature and his displays.

“Don’t sit there and try to put it off on other people, especially the entire neighborhood like you’re doing,” said Daniel Randy, who lives nearby.

Other residents have made efforts to have the flag removed.

“I called code enforcement and they said it’s perfectly legal to put up any kind of flag you want,” said Nick Scalice, President of a nearby homeowners association that does not include Hayes’ home.

Teaparty Nuts Create Cartoon Showing President Obama Being Assassinated – Video

There are some sick people out there, and some of them think it’s funny to create a cartoon showing the president of the United States being assassinated. Or maybe they’re not trying to be funny at all. Maybe, just maybe they’re serious, and they’re hoping that their cartoon depiction becomes real.

And that’s why the Secret Service is investigating.

The creators of the YouTube series Conrad the Constitution complained to Infowars that their graphic depiction of President Obama being cowardly Second Amendmented in the back of the head ‘Abraham Lincoln style’ in a theater has earned them and their families visits from the Secret Service.

“I just wanted to let you guys know the Secret Service has been in contact with my family and is coming to interview me sometime soon about our latest episode. If I end up disappearing you’ll know why,” the ridiculous and paranoid e-mail read.

In the video, Conrad the Teabagging Constitution, Conrad steals Ron Paul’s time machine from his bunker and embarks on a mission to kill President Obama, who has shredded his future self. At the instruction of Ron Paul and his shredded self, Conrad travels back in time, sneaks up on the President, and shoots him in the back of the head.

These sickos relish in getting their content seen. Bad press is good press for these right winged hacks. You don’t have to view their content, but I included the video below.

Bill Maher – The Teaparty Movement Is All About The Black Guy In The White House

They’re celebrating their fifth year in existence, so what better way to observe their lack of accomplishments, than by watching and hearing Bill Maher express his views on the Teaparty?

Bill Maher celebrated the Tea Party’s fifth birthday by pointing out what the Tea Party is all about: a black guy sitting in Ronald Reagan’s chair–causing Bill Kristol to flip out.

Despite that the Tea Party is purportedly the party of “fiscal responsibility,” as Maher points out, they really seem to exist just to hate the black President.

Bill Kristol scoffed at Maher’s charges of “racism,” saying “That is total bullshit! Even you don’t believe that. You’re just saying that.”

Maher responded that he “totally” believes that. “A month after he took office, suddenly white people were very concerned about debt, even though Bush had raised the debt way more than Obama had. I don’t remember a Tea Party then,” Maher pointed out.

Since the Tea Party seems to mention Obamacare and Benghazi more than anything, Maher added that they don’t actually care about debt all that much. “If you look at their websites, he said they are mostly talking about Benghazi, impeaching Obama and Obamacare. I wonder if they ever really cared about the debt that much,” Maher said.

Paula Deen – I’m like the “black football player who recently came out”

Considering her recent past,  you’d think Paula Deen would be advised against using certain colors in her public statements when referring to other people. If she cannot remember Michael Sam’s name, you’d think she’ll use another descriptor instead of “black” when comparing herself to the man. But, no…

“I feel like ‘embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name,” Deen reportedly told People. “It’s like that black football player who recently came out. He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying.”

Unlike Sam, however, Deen wasn’t called “embattled” or “disgraced” until after she lost her show and several endorsements following the revelation that she regularly used a racist slur regarding Black people during the course of her work.

Though discrimination charges against her were later dismissed, Deen lost her show. Earlier this month, however, she secured an investment worth between $75 million and $100 million to be used for a new company fueling a comeback bid.

Paula Deen Says She’s “Back In The Saddle”

Paula Deen continued maneuvering for a comeback Sunday, turning a beachside cooking demonstration into a public apology for the racist comments that decimated her career last year.

The former Food Network star took the stage to prepare chicken and dumplings at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, but before beginning asked the crowd if they minded if she talked about something serious for a moment. Without ever explicitly discussing the allegations or comments she has admitted making, she said she was glad to be back and that, “I am not a quitter.”

“We have come off of a very hard summer my family and I, my team, my partners,” she said to a cheering crowd of several hundred fans. “But you know, I have heard on more than one occasion … that I’ve never apologized. So if anybody did not hear me apologize, I would like to apologize to those who did not hear me.”

Deen’s career has been in shambles following a one-two punch of public relations disasters. In 2012, she was criticized for announcing she had both diabetes and a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat the condition she’d until then hidden.

Then last summer, during a legal dispute with a former employee who accused her of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, she acknowledged having used racial slurs in the past. Most of her endorsement, book and TV deals fell apart within days.

Deen has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since then, even avoiding the Food Network’s 20th anniversary party last October. But lately, she has made it clear she wants back. Earlier this month, she announced that private investment firm Najafi Companies is investing $75 million to $100 million to help her make a comeback.

As part of the deal, she’s launching an umbrella company, Paula Deen Ventures, that will oversee her restaurants, cookbooks and product endorsements. And Sunday’s crowd seemed primed for it all, shouting out to her “You don’t need to apologize!” and “We want you back, Paula!”

“Ya’ll’s cards and letters that I got, helped me get out of bed every day,” she replied.

Midway through the demo, Food Network star Robert Irvine joined Deen onstage. Irvine survived his own scandal in in 2008 when the Food Network let him go over discrepancies in claims he’d made over his work experience. He eventually returned to the Network, seemingly unblemished.

“This is a warning to you,” Irvine told Deen. “You’ve apologized. You’ve eaten crow. You’re done. Don’t do it anymore. I’ve been there.”

Before a roaring crowd, Irvine then got down on his hands and knees while Deen straddled his back and rode him across the stage, a reenactment of a gimmick they’d done during a previous festival.

“I’m back in the saddle!” she yelled to the crowd.
