Today, the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Harry Alford, was on Glenn’s show to discuss the recent “jobs” summit, the role of small businesses in the current economy, and his take on how big labor is “carpet-bagging” minority-dominant big cities. But the clip starts out with a replay of Alford totally OWNING Barbara Boxer in a hearing for her attempt at lumping him with the NAACP and other black organizations. Mr. Alford didn’t quite take too kindly to being lumped in with that lot, and he made his displeasure known to her.
If you’ve been paying any attention lately, SEIU is neck-deep in a kissy-face relationship with Barack Obama and his administration. And Andy Stern, their leader, has so much influence with Obama that apparently they are able to have the lion’s share of influence over the healthcare reform legislation. “Workers of the world unite!” How is this happening? How are 2 million union members able to over-ride the rest of us?
Well, this is just one of the many topics Glenn tackled today in a segment for which I had a couple of alternative titles: “Beck: We’re in Opposite World,” or “Beck Begs Americans to Wake the F*** Up!” Oh, well, I think the message will get across either way.
Democrat Strategist, Pat Caddell, appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and they talked about the recent poll that showed 71% of Americans are ANGRY at the government and politicians in general. Caddell, former advisor to President Carter, said this current administration and Congress are greedy and blind, and that they ignore the folks at their own peril – it’s clear the folks are mad as hell, and the time is coming where we are going to have to take it to the Hill!
Beck posed the question as to why the politicians are seemingly deaf to us, and Pat says that they just don’t care; they don’t give a damn about what WE want, and that they have literal contempt for the people. He even referred to Cap-&-Trade as “Gangster Politics,” and I have to say I don’t disagree.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of behind lied to, and I know many folks like me; we’re mad as hell and we can’t take it anymore. STOP with the spending, corruption, and destruction of this Republic. And RESPECT THE FRICKIN’ CONSTITUTION – And I’m addressing BOTH Republicans and Democrats alike!
Wow. What a shocka! Yesterday Beck talked about ACORN’S self-investigation by…ACORN’s ‘advisory board.’ And surprise surprise…they found ACORN did nothing wrong or illegal in the undercover prostitute sting tapes shot by novice filmmakers Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe.
I was as surprised as Glenn was. /sarc
By the way… that dude who is the CEO of “ACORN Housing” certainly does resemble a beardless Bertha, doesn’t he? Heh.
Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms. Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.
Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest.
While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007).
The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome “provides a blueprint for future victories.”
Are you getting all this folks? We’re on the road to ruin, and Barack and crew are just stepping on the gas pedal. What is it going to take for Americans to wake up and stop this madness? Thank God for Glenn & Andrew for their hard work exposing this administration’s fraud and corruption. Please go read the whole piece here.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
