…why are they pushing to ‘whitewash’ the history books? ”remov[ing] references to slavery and mentions of the country’s founders being slave owners…”? ”includ[ing] the exploration of the positive aspects of American slavery, lifting the stature of Jefferson S. Davis to that of Abraham Lincoln”? ”study[ing] the “unintended consequences” of affirmative action.”? What the Fuck?
Guess Mike Huckleberry decided to channel Tricky Dick and go with the Southern Strategy for his 2012 Presidential Bid…he’s falsely claiming that Obama ‘grew up in Kenya,’ giving him a different ‘world outlook’ then the rest of us ‘Mericuns. What is he referring to, the lack of Nascar in Africa, or is he merely transforming into Birther Baggins to appeal the uber-wingnuts?
Shame the most respectable guy out of the pack of reactionary 2012 contenders just called dibs on the sewer under the low road! Jeez, Mike, it’s not like you have a snowball’s chance in the Sahara of winning this, you blew a chance at being the conscience of the GOoPers. Now you’re just another sorry racist loser.

Wing-nut over at Redstate.com figures Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize is ‘affirmative action’:
I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news.
WTF? He’s getting the prize because he’s black – that’s your argument?!?
This is just another racist attack like the raft of other crap we’ve been seeing from the Wrong (e.g. watermelon-eatin’ emails, photoshopped pics of the President in turbans or tribal garb) that belies their indignation when called on this bullshit.

The Fascist Weiner
Versus
Wishes he were a pirate in Somalia
Our trans-Atlantic cousins just published a list of extremist bastards that are banned from their country – and it includes several wing-nut U.S. ‘personalities’ such as Michael Weiner. Keep in mind even a potentially rabid dog can enter the UK after 6 months of quarantine!
Of course it’s hard to get too embarrassed – after all, the UK harbors that one-eyed, one-armed Islamic looney, Abu Hamza al-Masri, for whom every day is ‘talk like a pirate day’ and recently harbored the other looney Omar Bakri Mohammed who called for jihad against the government that supported him on the dole.
We really need to kidnap some of these guys, take them to an undisclosed location, and have them do some extreme cage fighting – it would be interesting to see which of them could actually practice what they preach, and which would soil themselves in fear.
Interesting factoid – Omar Bakri’s daughter is waging her own personal jihad against the immoral infidel club-goers of London as a topless pole-dancer! Allahuakbar!
A crypto-rascist is more dangerous than an overt rascist.I’m gonna miss Trent Lott as leader of the Senate. Now don’t get me wrong, I deeply abhor his politics and beliefs. But at least he’s made it pretty clear where he stands. Contrast that with the new Republican Senate majority leader Bill Frist. Until he ran for senator in 1994, Bill was a member of the (at that time) whites-only Belle Meade country club in Nashville Tennessee. I find his claims that he knew nothing of the policy and that he retired from the club to focus on his election campaign disingenuous in the extreme. How much time and energy does driving around the golf greens take? And how could he not notice the total absence of any minorities in the club?
So look for more of the same attacks on affirmative action and minority rights from the upcoming Republican-majority senate and its new leader, although with fewer overt rascist statements. And, in a worst-of-both worlds scenario, Trent Lott is still on Capitol Hill, operating in the shadows.
“They’ve tried to suppress black voting, they’ve ran on the Confederate flag in Georgia and South Carolina. And from top to bottom, the Republicans supported it. So I don’t see what they’re jumping on Trent Lott about… that’s the Republican policy. How do they think they got a majority in the South anyway?”
