On NBC's "Today" show Monday, Matt Lauer asked PBS' Gwen Ifill this question: "Isn't Harry Reid implying that a dark-skinned African American who speaks in a way that some would consider more stereotypical would not be electable?"Ifill's response? Well, yes. Because it's true.

Fun watching you rightwing morons jump on the latest bit of celebrity politics to distract from the deeper structural, systemic issues. While you're at it why don't you go buy a new shiny widget to distract yourself from your shitty life in the Empire. You're like fucking brainless lemmings...."Oooohh..the shiny!"
- And the liberals who continue to poke fun at Palin?mathinc
- I hate that cunt, but just pointing out the hypocrisy.mathinc
- I would agree completely. You have me confused with a liberal. I am a marxist.********
- I hate liberals as much as I hate rightwing douchebags.********
- again, they can dish it but cannot take it********
- Agreed. It's called playing politics. Both sides do it, and until they stop we'll continue the downward spiral.********
- can i still like the shiny?airey

Hey, when you get down to it, as inartfully as it might have been expressed, Reid was simply describing the racism that we all known exists in American society.
Republicans on the other hand (not all but some), pretty much EMBODY the racism that is out there. At least Trent Lott did when he said he wished Strom Thurmond (who ran as a segregationist) had become President. Big difference in those two statements.

Oh, and if you have a problem with Reid, I'm sure you'll be spending some time criticizing Rush Limbaugh...and the entire Tea Party movement which buys into the idea that Obama is not American just because of his name/ skin color.
Oh...what's that? You won't? Well, there you go then...
- Nice attempt Ukit. Try again.********
- WTF are you babbling about...? We are talking about Harry Reid's comments!********
- Yes! STAY FOCUSED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! FORGET WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY!********

It's funny to listen to those Obama audio clips, cause he tries to speak in a "negro dialect", but really can't! Do you think that since then, that he's hired a "negro dialect coach"???
- A negro dialect coach? hahah maybe from Baltimore, that's close to DC?********

"There’s a book, The Gate, by Francois Bitz, who was in Cambodia before the Khmer Rouge took power. He was captured by the Khmer Rouge and held prisoner in the jungle. Bitz was an anthropologist but the Khmer Rouge was convinced he was a spy. It turned out his captor was this man called Douch who later ran Tuol Sleng, the school in Phnom Penh that Pol Pot turned into a torture chamber and slaughterhouse.
Duoch was a mathematics teacher, but he was also a full blown Khmer Rouge ideologue and sociopath. Every couple of days this French man, while chained to a tree, would see the revolutionaries take Cambodian prisoners to the jungle. There they killed them with a shovel. Ammunition, you see, was not to be wasted on such counter-revolutionary scum.
Bitz said Douch could talk to him about all kinds of things. They were two human intelligent beings. He spoke Khmer, Douch spoke French. But every now and again Bitz would cross some ideological line and Douch then became a raving lunatic. He would spout what were essentially slogans at him. At that point the exchange between two human beings stopped. One human being became a monster. And Bitz knew that he was a moment away from having the shovel brought down on the back of his head.
That is the ultimate offence of modern political language. When you write or speak in jargon – in slogans - you stop having a human exchange."

“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” Palin said in a statement. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balance news.”
Does that spell the end of her political career?

I know the real reason that Teddy Kennedy was mad and offended when Bill Clinton said 'Hey, come on man, this guy woulda been fetching us coffee a few years ago.' what made Teddy Kennedy mad was it's women get him coffee. It was Negroes that brought Ted Kennedy his booze. And that's why he was all offended... We deal in the truth here..."

In its first year, the Obama White House quietly has given critics of the nation’s 40-year “war on drugs” something rarely seen in their ranks: hope that the days of punitive, enforcement-first U.S. policy could be coming to a close.
With the Department of Justice agreeing to recognize state laws that legalize medical marijuana and Congress ending the decades-long ban on federal money for needle exchanges, advocates for tackling drug demand, rather than supply — by treating addicts and easing access for others — counted two crucial victories in 2009. If anything, their lingering question has become how much more Obama and the Democrats can do without encountering blowback or losing their political will.
“For the first time in many, many years, the wind is at our back instead of our face,” the director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), Bill Piper, told The Daily Caller.
The government relations director at the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), Aaron Houston, described the recent drug-policy moves as “the beginning of the fall of the Berlin wall of prohibition.”
“These are substantial, earth-moving changes,” he said. “We’re going to see the results of these changes, and policymakers are more likely to be willing and understanding.”
Supporters of a California ballot initiative regulating and taxing legal marijuana already claim to have enough signatures for a vote in November. Maine approved licensing for medical pot dispensaries last year, and New Jersey is nearing passage of its own similar law, perhaps as soon as today.
Rhode Island went a step further in July, creating a commission to study the effects of decriminalizing marijuana. Harvard University economist Jeffrey Miron, a legalization proponent who serves on that commission, agreed that Obama’s approach to drugs would bring about “better outcomes overall” but preached more caution than optimism.
“Unlike most legalizers, I’m libertarian, not liberal,” Miron explained in an interview. “As a more pragmatic matter, I don’t see it in [Obama’s] interest as a politician to go much farther than he’s gone.”
That assessment could hold true this year, particularly as the midterm elections keep Democrats focused on the ailing economy. The two best bets for congressional action are Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) bill empowering a criminal justice panel to propose broad drug enforcement reforms and a bid, long in the works, to eliminate the 100 to 1 sentencing disparity between cocaine and crack offenders.
What’s more difficult to predict is how this gradual rebalancing of U.S. drug policy would play out during a second Obama term, if he wins re-election. Piper, of the DPA, predicted that this year’s initial changes “will be a down payment on full reform, which would be — on the federal level — completely eliminating mandatory minimum sentencing and decriminalizing low-level possession” of marijuana.
Neill Franklin, a former colonel with the Baltimore police and member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, said an interview that he too sees federal movement on legalization after 2012, if Obama remains in office.
But no advocate was prepared to forecast similar relaxation of limits on cocaine or other drugs. Most emphasized that state governments — as well as national polling such as Gallup’s, which found public support for marijuana legalization hitting a record high of 44 percent in October — would continue to lead the way on easing prohibition.

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts, that despite the odds, the next GOP presidential candidate in 2012 will be another Texas Good Ole' Boy.

"WOW. A good little brainwashed boobs. Less then 35% of the country supports Obamachrist."
- Fred McWoozyHmmm, so you call him "obamachrist" a dog whistle meme of the rightwing talking douchebags, you make up some figure like 35% that isn't accurate and then you claim that someone else is brainwashed.
How come I feel like I'm talking to:

- By "put you down" means calling you on your bullshit when you call people "boobs", than yes.********
