This column by Dennis Prager, in Townhall.com this morning, definitely hit the nail:

Here is a contemporary political t***h: Every time you think that the left and its political party have hit moral bottom, they will eventually prove you wrong.

The most recent example occurred last week in Louisiana. The head of the Louisiana Democratic Party, State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, stood before her colleagues in the state Senate and announced the reason people oppose Obamacare.

"You ready?" she asked three times.

It is President Obama's color.

"It isn't about the administration, and it should not be about the administration of the state nor federal level when it comes to Obamacare," she said. "But in fact it is. And why is that? I have talked to so many members in the House and Senate and you know what it comes down to? Are you ready for this? It is not about how many federal dollars we can receive. You ready? You want to know what it's about? It's about race. Now nobody wants to talk about that. It's about the race of this African-American president. ... It comes down to the race of the president of the U.S. which causes people to disconnect and step away from the substance of the bill."

Now why would the head of a state Democratic Party -- and a state senator -- say something that is equally vile and moronic?

There are two possible explanations, and one is worse than the other.

One is that Peterson doesn't believe what she said; that she said it solely in order to intimidate opponents of Obamacare. When a prominent black accuses anyone -- even if it is most white people in America -- of r****m, it usually ends all debate.

This would, of course, reflect poorly on Peterson's character, but it would actually be the more positive of the two possible explanations. Because the other possible explanation is that she really believes what she said. And if she really believes that the more than one hundred million Americans who oppose Obamacare -- a CNN poll last week found that 54 percent of Americans oppose Obamacare -- do so because Obama is black, America is in trouble.

America is in real trouble if Peterson represents a large majority of b***k A******ns. And we have every reason to believe that she does. She represents a 48-percent black district. And virtually every black leader routinely charges w****s with r****m.

We simply need to be honest. Either the great majority of American w****s are r****t -- indeed profoundly r****t if they oppose Obamacare solely because the president is black -- or the great majority of b****s wrongly perceive reality when it comes to their perceptions of w****s. In either case, b****s and w****s are living in parallel universes. And one of them is both factually and morally very wrong.

In my view, the idea that w****s that oppose Obamacare do so because the president is black is one of those terrible lies that shape a society for ill.

But this is not only a commentary on present-day black America. It is even more so a commentary on the left. B****s have memories of genuine oppression that have left deep psychological scars. While we wish that reality would trump psychology here, we can understand -- though not agree with -- black anger at white America.

But the non-black left -- which routinely accuses w****s who oppose the president of r****m -- has no such excuse. Paul Krugman of the New York Times, Chris Matthews of MSNBC, former president Jimmy Carter, Frank Rich of New York Magazine, and so many others on the left have no psychological excuse for saying white opposition to Obama is r****t. Their charge is just malicious.

This is just one more example of the societal destruction wrought by the left. Ironically, in this instance its primary victims are ... b****s. Emphasis mine, trpr.

But isn't this Obombyas Mom.

JMHO Loc: Utah

Good article.

R****M is all they've got! They're an empty suit! A broken record. They have no substance to stand on, only to label anyone who disagrees with the Messiah Obama is r****t.

MrEd Loc: Georgia

If this many w****s were truly r****t and h**ed Obama because he was black, then there would be a lot more then just a group voicing their opinion on Obamacare. There would be b****s h*****g from trees all over this country. With this many w****s truly raciest, this country would be in an uproar and the b****s would never know peace.

The facts often are MUCH different then what Democrats say they are, but since they are the ones with the floor and can speak their lies with no opposition from the w****s following their stupid statements, they can pretty much say anything they want and get away with it. Quite often it is the next day before anyone can speak against what they are saying. By then it is to late and they know it. If we can't refute what they are saying right then, it is always to late. The damage is done by then and you can't stop it. The reason they use race is because it is so affective and the fact that we cannot get right up right then and there and stop it.

The media is helping them by the fact that they will spread their lies, but anyone speaking out against it is either not heard from, or it is buried on the back pages where most people will never see it.

If there were that many r****ts in the US, since the b****s only make up 16% of pop. how did he get elected to begin with?

Republicans Have Proven On Multiple Occasions That Their Loyalty Is Not With America

By: Rmusemore from Rmuse
Tuesday, July, 29th, 2014, 7:53 pm


This column addresses patriotism more often than it should, but it is simply because over the past few years Republicans have demonstrated their loyalty and devotion to anyone except the American people or the nation itself. During the Viet Nam War, there was an oft-repeated phrase from conservatives that Americans who did not love America’s habit of perpetual war should get out. The implication was that opposing the war was supporting the enemy and therefore unpatriotic, but today, there is a tendency among Republicans to support foreign nations and leaders over the interests of this nation that clearly shows their patriotism is reserved for any nation other than America.

The idea of patriotic duty to one’s own country, and its citizens, has never caught on with Republicans, particularly Republicans loyal to foreign nations. Over the past five years, Republicans worked diligently to advance the economic interests of the Canadian oil industry and preserve Canada’s environment by pushing to build Canada’s leak-prone KeystoneXL pipeline across America, heaped inordinate praise on Russia’s h********c religious right President Vladimir Putin, and of course, provided unwavering support, and untold sums of taxpayer dollars, to the nation where their true allegiance and patriotism lies; Israel. In fact, as mentioned here last week, “Supporting Israel unconditionally has become the hallmark of American patriotism, and questioning anything it does is of the Devil, treason, attacking god, anti-Semitic, assaulting the holy bible, and an affront to Christianity.”

An accusation last week by evangelical freak Ted Cruz that President Obama utilized an American regulatory agency to economically punish Israel really revealed two facts about Republicans demanding compliance to demands made by Israel. First, because Israel is the source of most of the Christian bible’s Old Testament mythology, America has an obligation to obey Israeli demands as if they were uttered directly from the mouth of god. Second, because Cruz protested, quite vigorously, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) regard for the safety of Americans citizens flying to Israel, he obviously cares more about Israel’s economy and tourism trade than the safety of American lives. It is the truest form of patriotism to Israel, and monumental contempt for American citizens’ safety.

According to Cruz, the FAA ban on flights to Israel was not a safety issue, but a devious plot by President Obama to “use a federal regulatory agency to punish Israel, and aid Hamas.” The half-American claimed the FAA flight ban was the Obama Administration’s attempt “aid our enemy and isolate and hurt our ally.” Cruz also asserted that the White House needs to answer for deliberately launching an economic boycott on Israel to destroy its tourism industry. Cruz needs to provide answers to two simple questions; is he an American or Israeli citizen, and which nation does he swear allegiance to above all others? According to his disregard for the safety of American lives and accusations President Obama is plotting to hurt Israel’s economy, his allegiance is to Israel, not America.

Now, on the subject of Israel’s economy, America has been propping up Israel for decades with unwavering support of its defense industry, but it is never enough. Last week, while Republicans were busy obstructing funding for the so-called Bush-Republican immigration crisis and funding for Veterans’ healthcare, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell introduced standalone legislation to provide funding for Israel’s “Iron Dome” anti-missile system. The Senate Appropriations Chairwoman, Barbara Mikulski, had included the Israeli military welfare in a supplemental to legislation addressing the “crisis” of child refugees seeking out Border Patrol officers for assistance according to the 2008 Bush-Republican law, but McConnell’s patriotism, and American taxpayer’s largesse, lies with Israel; not America’s immigration dilemma.

Republicans were incensed that Mikulski’s bill would not unilaterally repeal Bush’s 2008 anti-trafficking law, so McConnell’s bill allows Republicans to demonstrate their loyalty to Israel with more taxpayer money and cement their opposition to addressing the border crisis they created. On the floor of the Senate, McConnell said, “Republicans are united in support of our ally Israel, and we have legislation that allows Congress to send a message to Hamas that its terrorist tactics and its attempts to terrorize Israel’s populace will not succeed.” Of course, being loyal to Israel, McConnell, Republicans, and Congress in general refuse to address Israel’s terrorism against Palestinian civilians forced to exist in a fenced, mined, and isolated interment camp and have no problem funding Israel’s war effort. And, they reveal they have no loyalty to America by staunchly opposing any funding for Bush’s i*********n l*w, Veterans, hungry and homeless Americans, or to repair this country’s rapidly deteriorating infrastructure.



Last Wednesday, the The UN Human Rights Council condemned Israel’s assault on Palestinian civilians it said involved “disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks including aerial bombing of civilian areas, collective punishment, and the k*****g of more than 650 Palestinians.” At the end of the emergency session, the U.N. Human Rights forum adopted a resolution by a v**e of 29 in favor and 1 against (the United States). To punctuate America’s unwavering support for continued humanitarian abuses, America jumped at the chance to send Israel hundreds-of-millions more in military aid while Republican refused to spend one penny for Americans or its immigration problem.

Now, there is no doubt that America is, and always will be, Israel’s staunchest ally. It was, after all, America and the United Kingdom that handed Israel a homeland while the Jewish state refuses to negotiate a peaceful settlement and give Palestinians a homeland. In 2012, American taxpayers funded 21% of Israel’s military that belies Cruz’s claim the Obama Administration plotted to damage Israel’s economy. However, funding 21% of Israel’s military is still not enough according to Republicans and a fair number of Democrats, and there is a question the American people funding nearly a quarter of Israel’s military deserve an honest answer to; what has Israel done for America to deserve taxpayer largesse?

For the level of funding this country provides to “our ally Israel,” one would think the very least they could do was reduce tensions with Palestinians sequestered in a fenced off and heavily-mined reservation by providing what America and the U.K. gave Israel; a homeland. Israel was furious that America attempted to mediate an end to its assault on Palestinian civilians, and instead Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s security cabinet met to debate proposals for how best to escalate the Gaza offensive.

The idea of a Palestinian homeland or a peaceful resolution is a concept Republicans oppose out-of-hand because they support Israel’s refusal to seek peace; and why should Israel negotiate for a peaceful settlement? America dependably funds their war effort that includes the inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people and a military assault on innocent civilians. Ted Cruz assailed Secretary of State John Kerry’s request for humanitarian aid such as food, water, and medical care for war-torn Palestinian civilians as support for terrorists. This nation’s opposition to the United Nations’ humanitarian resolution is all the proof anyone needs that despite the Obama Administration’s calls for peace, America is funding and supporting the invasion of Gaza.

Republicans, and some Democrats, need to come clean with the American people and elucidate precisely where their loyalties lie and which country they swear allegiance to because it is increasingly clear it is not America. Whether it is supporting Canada’s oil industry and protecting their environment from the KeystoneXL pipeline, praising Russian President Putin’s anti-gay, religious right agenda and “patriotic” invasion of Ukraine, or Israel’s decades long refusal to seek a peaceful resolution and provide Palestinians with a homeland; there is no evidence Republican patriotism is for America or its people.

Apparently, Republican loyalty, patriotism, and unwavering support for the nation they love above all others is simply because Israel is the central theme of the bible’s Old Testament. If there is another reason, like something Israel has done to garner billions-of-dollars America gives them every year, it is time for Republicans to explain their Israeli patriotism. If they cannot, they should renounce their American citizenship, move to Israel, and join the inhumane war against Palestinians; but without American taxpayers’ assistance.

Mouthpieces for the Kremlin’s propaganda channel aren’t brave
50 More

Masha Gessen is a Russian American journalist and the author of “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.”
When a journalist admits that he has been lying to the public for years, this usually results in a flurry of media coverage castigating the guilty party, along with a dose of self-f**gellation by his employer for having failed to notice the lies sooner. When this wave of humiliating publicity ends, the offending journalist is allowed to slink away in shame.

But sometimes journalists who admit having lied for years get to be heroes for a few days, garnering praise for their honesty and bravery. These public liars get to depart the story with their heads raised high and every reason to expect to continue a career in journalism.

Take Sara Firth, a London-based reporter who resigned from the Kremlin’s propaganda channel RT this month. Announcing her resignation on Twitter, she wrote, “I have huge respect for many on the team, but I’m for the t***h.” Or Liz Wahl, Firth’s former colleague in the network’s U.S. bureau, who announced her resignation on-air a few months earlier: “I cannot be part of a network funded by the Russian government which whitewashes the actions of [Vladimir] Putin. I’m proud to be an American, and believe in disseminating the t***h.” In the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, another U.S.-based American employee of the station, Abby Martin, rebelled on-air without resigning. “Just because I work here, for RT, doesn’t mean I don’t have editorial independence, and I can’t stress enough how strongly I am against any military intervention in sovereign nations’ affairs.” She was not telling the t***h: Being employed by the Kremlin’s mouthpiece most certainly means she does not have editorial independence.


For most viewers, the station formerly known as Russia Today is just that channel you seem to get in any hotel room in the world. Its graphics are sleek, even if the staging can appear amateurish, and its rhetoric is an unlikely mix of the standard l*****t critique of Western governments with heaps of praise for Putin and his allies. For young college graduates from English-speaking countries, RT offers an opportunity to get a well-paying first job and to get in front of a camera faster than they could ever hope to achieve at any conventional Western television operation. In the hierarchy of television operations funded by authoritarian states, RT is the lowest rung of the ladder: After a few years there, these young Americans and Brits might hope to step up to Chinese English-language broadcasting and eventually, perhaps, climb all the way to Al Jazeera.

Russia Today was founded in 2006, just as the West’s stubborn infatuation with Putin finally waned. The Kremlin wanted an outlet to counter a growing wave of criticism as it fully reverted to authoritarianism. The goal was to project a portrait of Russia as a different sort of democracy while pointing out the failures of Western powers, such as income ine******y, r****m and abuse of power. Native English speakers were essential to the project. A couple of years ago, Russia Today recast itself as RT so that viewers who had accidentally stumbled on the channel wouldn’t immediately know whose propaganda they were watching. Indeed, one could tune in during an interview with, say, an ACLU lawyer talking about National Security Agency surveillance, and watch for a few minutes before realizing that the channel was broadcasting a very skewed perspective on the world.

As the chasm between Russia and the West widened, RT’s reports became more bizarre. In December, for example, it aired a half-hour report in which it was suggested that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was the result of a “larger plan” for the creation of a “greater Israel.” This month, it ran a half-hour documentary that claimed the United States was an even worse place for gay people than Russia — and also homosexual relationships carry “risks of mental and physical health problems and other social pathologies.” And, of course, as far back as December, it was portraying the Ukrainian protest movement as pawns of the Europeans who wanted the country’s legitimate elected government o*******wn. This month, YouTube blocked RT’s news stream, apparently after a series of complaints about inaccuracies in its reporting from Ukraine.

Lying is not a side effect of what RT does; it is the channel’s heart. “Every single day we are lying and finding sexier ways to do it,” Firth told BuzzFeed upon her departure from the channel. She described the ma­nipu­la­tion of reporting to suggest that the Ukrainian government was responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on July 17. In an interview with the Guardian, she said, “It was the most shockingly obvious misinformation, and it got to the point where I couldn’t defend it anymore.”


In other words, the lies in which she participated for five years at the channel were bad but not bad enough to quit over — but lying about the airliner was just too much. It makes sense that, with all that RT experience, she would try to spin her departure as an act of bravery and standing up for the t***h. What makes no sense, however, is why real journalists would let ex-RT staff get away with this narrative.

Trolls use a wide variety of strategies, some of which are unique to the internet, here are just a few:

1. Make outrageous comments designed to distract or frustrate: An Alinsky tactic used to make people emotional, although less effective because of the impersonal nature of the Web.

2. Pose as a supporter of the t***h, then make comments that discredit the movement: We have seen this even on our own forums — trolls pose as supporters of the Liberty Movement, then post long, incoherent diatribes so as to appear either r****t or insane. The key to this tactic is to make references to common Liberty Movement arguments while at the same time babbling nonsense, so as to make those otherwise valid arguments seem ludicrous by association. In extreme cases, these “Trojan Horse Trolls” have been known to make posts which incite violence — a technique obviously intended to solidify the false assertions of the think tank propagandists like the SPLC, which purports that Constitutionalists should be feared as potential d******c t*******ts.

3. Dominate Discussions: Trolls often interject themselves into productive Web discussions in order to throw them off course and frustrate the people involved.

4. Prewritten Responses: Many trolls are supplied with a list or database with pre-planned talking points designed as generalized and deceptive responses to honest arguments. When they post, their words feel strangely plastic and well rehearsed.

5. False Association: This works hand in hand with item No. 2, by invoking the stereotypes established by the “Trojan Horse Troll.” For example: calling those against the Federal Reserve “conspiracy theorists” or “lunatics”; deliberately associating anti-g*******t movements with r****ts and homegrown terrorists, because of the inherent negative connotations; and using false associations to provoke biases and dissuade people from examining the evidence objectively.

6. False Moderation: Pretending to be the “voice of reason” in an argument with obvious and defined sides in an attempt to move people away from what is clearly true into a “grey area” where the t***h becomes “relative.”

7. Straw Man Arguments: A very common technique. The troll will accuse his opposition of subscribing to a certain point of view, even if he does not, and then attacks that point of view. Or, the troll will put words in the mouth of his opposition, and then rebut those specific words.

Sometimes, these strategies are used by average people with serious personality issues. However, if you see someone using these tactics often, or using many of them at the same time, you may be dealing with a paid internet troll.

Obama to GOP: Stop hating

President Obama asked Republicans to stop “hating” and “being mad all the time” during a Wednesday speech in Kansas City, Mo., focused on the economy.

The president accused GOP lawmakers of needlessly suing him, instead of doing their jobs. He said they should be more focused on the economy.


“They have not been that helpful,” Obama told a crowd in a local theater. “They have not been as constructive as I would have hoped and these actions come with a cost.”
The House is set to v**e later on Wednesday on legislation authorizing a lawsuit against Obama over his use of executive actions, particularly to delay ObamaCare’s employer health insurance mandate.

Obama highlighted the administration's successes in boosting the economy, saying that his administration caused the bounce-back reflected in statistics released Wednesday that showed 4 percent growth in the second quarter.

He noted that the 6.1 percent unemployment rate is the lowest since September of 2008. But he blamed Republicans for preventing him for doing more for every day Americans.

“We could do so much more if Congress would come on and help out a little bit,” he added. “Stop being mad all the time. Stop. Stop just hating all the time. C'mon … I know they're not happy that I'm president but that's okay. I got a couple of years left. C'mon … then you can be mad at the next president.”

The president slapped the GOP for the lawsuit. “Instead of suing me for doing my job, I want Congress to do its job.”

Republicans have criticized the administration for holding back the economic recovery, and have ripped the White House for not backing any GOP jobs bills.

But Obama used his speech on Wednesday mostly to highlight the progress that has been made to keep the economy on the upswing during his administration. He pointed to the uptick in construction and manufacturing and even affordable healthcare.

It is a message Obama will likely continue to tout as a legacy item, White House aides say, should the economy continue to improve.

“We have fought back,” Obama said. “We have dusted ourselves off. … None of this is an accident. It's thanks to the decisions we made early on.”

Dennis Prager makes his living bashing the left So every day he has to come up with something new. I have something for him. This mornings news paper brought news that Obama Care is working in California better than expected. 58 % of the six million uninsured Californians are now uninsured under the ACA.
