James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Tuesday that a letter from nearly 100 House Republicans urging President Obama not to appoint Susan Rice as secretary of State employed racially charged “code words” to make its case. The letter, signed by 97 House Republicans, says Rice, the [...]

 

Matthews, Clyburn: Susan Rice is black, a lightweight who should be left alone

Posted by: ST on November 15, 2012 at 5:52 pm » 12 Comments

When last we left you on this issue President Obama, in a feeble attempt to come off as a heroic Alpha Male, went to the mat for Ambassador Susan Rice by essentially telling her critics (who he insinuated were all misogynistic males) to stop viewing her as an “easy target” and to come after him [...]

 

#StupidityWatch: Liberals claim GOP talking about “urban vote” = “raaacism”

Posted by: ST on November 15, 2012 at 9:42 am » 5 Comments

This gets so bleeping tiresome.  And is a point loudly echoed by liberal icon/hero Chris Matthews of MSDNC infamy – via Newsbusters’ Noel Sheppard: The list of words MSNBC’s Chris Matthews believes are racist if uttered by a conservative got longer on Wednesday. You can now add “urban” which offended Matthews when Congressman Paul Ryan [...]

 

Backlash against black actress & Romney supporter Stacey Dash shows failure of ID politics

Posted by: ST on October 9, 2012 at 11:33 am » 8 Comments

In case you missed it, this happened: “Clueless” star Stacey Dash recently tweeted her support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, accompanied by a patriotic swimsuit picture of herself. But now her political viewpoint has become the subject of online attacks, with many expressing crude distaste that she isn’t endorsing President Obama – and race [...]

 

#WeekendDiscussion: How could Obama have helped improve race relations in America?

Posted by: ST on October 6, 2012 at 12:24 pm » 12 Comments

My question WAS going to be “has Obama helped improve race relations in America” but we all know he hasn’t, and I didn’t want the question to be rhetorical anyway, so the weekend discussion (a new feature I am going to try and keep going here) is on how you think he could have helped [...]

 

#NCGov: Shame on Democrat @WalterDalton for playing the race card on @PatMcCroryNC

I am so not surprised by this (hat tip: @thesavvy): RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Republican Pat McCrory says North Carolina politics has reached a new low after a video released by Democratic gubernatorial rival Walter Dalton accuses the former Charlotte mayor of being insensitive to black residents. McCrory told The Associated Press in an interview [...]

**Posted by Phineas You may have heard on the news yesterday that John Burton, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, former President Pro Tem of the State Senate, and general potty-mouthed jackass got himself in a bit of trouble for saying Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan engaged in the “Big Lie” (1) and compared him [...]

 

FAIL: Atlantic, NYT go full scale stupid in accusing Romney of welfare racism

Posted by: ST on August 27, 2012 at 6:56 pm » 4 Comments

“Romney’s playing the raaaaaaaaaaaaace card!!!!” is the theme of the day as MSDNC dunce Chris Matthews and other pro-Obama “journalists” have latched on to what they see as the Romney campaign’s attempt at trying to win more white voters by making cracks about Obama’s birth certificate and “lying” about Obama’s recent move on welfare-to-work requirements.

(Video) This will -or, at least, should- worry the White House

Posted by: Phineas on July 26, 2012 at 2:04 pm » 2 Comments

**Posted by Phineas You may recall that, a couple of weeks ago, Mitt Romney spoke before the NAACP at their annual convention. The reception he received was mixed: some standing ovations mixed with jeers at his promise to repeal ObamaCare.
