Barack Obama is the Nominee -- Why are Black People Still So Mad?

Devastating. To say that this is an unacceptable trend is a grave understatement. I feel ashamed for the SFPD, and I also see a far greater problem because this is obviously not unique to San Francisco.



Anyone in the United States who thinks that we can successfully compete in the world while at civil war with ourselves is fooling themselves. If we are the UNITED States of America we have to be a UNITED people. We need to aggressively address racial profiling and the habit of divesting minority groups of their rights. In a World of mainly racially, culturally, and religiously homogeneous competitors America's diversity can either be its greatest strength or its Achilles Heel.



America HAS to evolve beyond this oppressive tendency for, beyond its criminal unfairness, it only undermines the Nation's future. Let's not kid ourselves.

Campaigns Begin Dash To Election

The next 60 days will be possibly the ugliest campaign for the Presidency we have ever experienced as Americans. The Rove machine is going to throw everything it has at Obama/Biden. Every Poll and negative MSM story that comes out about Obama/Biden needs to be vetted thoroughly and viewed as propaganda until proved otherwise. We, supporters of Obama, have to give worse than we get in order to win this battle, and we CANNOT SHRINK from adversity ... we must Win!



Something to keep in the back of your minds as well, I have a sense that the viciousness we will be seeing from the McCain/Bush camp derives from the Bush Administration not getting assurances that an Obama Administration would forgo criminal investigations of them, as Clinton agreed to in the case of Bush 41. Biden has alluded to the possibility of Bush Administration investigations and that makes it all the more crucial for the Republicans for McCain to win, whether they like him or not.



Folks, this election will be brutal like the fight for Iwo Jima and only one side will prevail and hoist the flag on Mount Suribachi.



We can't afford to lose and neither can they ... so to Fight is to Win. WE MUST FIGHT!!!

No Questions: Palin Won't Talk To Press

Of course no questions ... she is only model, not an actual candidate. Her requirement is to look good in ads, PERIOD.



I expect the McCain campaign to keep her under wraps for the next two months. And I will tell you exactly the argument to be used:



'As everyone understands Sarah has a special needs infant and a daughter whose wedding needs to be planned, certainly no reasonable person would begrudge her that.'



... and if the McCain campaign is pressed on her lack of availability the response will be:



'Clearly the liberal media is picking on Sarah, our fine VP candidate, because she is a responsible mother ... For SHAME!'



This Republican miscreants telegraph their political perversions.

Palin's Lawyer Works To Undermine Trooper Scandal

The problem for Palin is she was involved directly in this attempt to fire her estranged brother-in-law and the intimidation, and ultimate removal of the Alaska State Security Official who stood in her way. Also, Palin has evidently left a trail of emails documenting her actions and has made so many political enemies in Alaska through her governing methods, at both the local and state level, that there are political and personal adversaries that would love to expose her shortcomings and abuses to the courts or even the media.



There are good lawyers that can argue a blue sky is actually puce, to be sure, and with as sloppy as Palin has comported herself in this matter that is exactly what she will need.

Huckabee Slags Media In Off-Script Remarks

Former POW says McCain is "not cut out to be President"

Life isn't a cartoon so we shouldn't allow the spin on John McCain to go unverified. Here is the first hand account of a fellow POW that shouldn't be ignored.

McCain More Likely to Drop Palin, Bookmakers Say

I doubt the Republicans intend on dumping Caribou Barbie (as Stephanie Miller calls her) ... the GOP is counting on the stupidity of the American public to win the day for them as it has for the last 28 years.

<i>TNR</i>: GOP Convention Will Get Racist

Racism, Ignorance and Hate is all this generation of Republicans has to offer. The Republican party isn't the party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, or Eisenhower any longer.



The GOP has become a synthesis of Reagan's degenerative economic policies, Nixon's morality, and the Bush Klan's skullduggery.

Tom Brokaw: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann Have "Gone Too Far"

Mr Brokaw ... I have a question sir.



On September 5, 1983 you became the solo anchor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw"



The following is from Wiki:



"In 1986, Judges Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concluded that the Fairness Doctrine did apply to teletext but that the FCC was not required to apply it.[6] In a 1987 case, Meredith Corp. v. FCC, two other judges on the same court declared that Congress did not mandate the doctrine and the FCC did not have to continue to enforce it."



"In August 1987, the FCC abolished the doctrine by a 4-0 vote, in the Syracuse Peace Council decision, which was upheld by the Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit in February 1989."



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine



Mr Brokaw, as the anchor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw" during the time the fate of the Fairness Doctrine was being determined ... how much air time did you and NBC devote to the story?



You see ... Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann's brand of journalism is an offshoot of the Fairness Doctrine's demise ... if there is truly something wrong with their brand of journalism.



Obviously, I don't expect an answer.

Union Officials: Obama Should Hit Harder On Economy, Not Worry About "Class War" Label

It's time the "let them eat cake crowd" learns that there are limits to their avarice. Obama shouldn't shy away from including discussion of class warfare in his message. It is a reality that the majority of Americans experience every day.



"Rise like lions after slumber

In unvanquishable number!

Shake your chains to the earth, like dew

Which in sleep had fallen on you--

Ye are many; they are few!" - Shelly



Obama needs to tell it like it is ... everyone will recognize the truth from their own personal experience. The way forward is illuminated by truth.

New Bush Rule: Doctors Can Refuse To Give Women Abortions

Ah Abortion is the great moral issue of the day, but American Christians have yet to raise their voices in outrage or defense of the innocent Iraqi, men, women, children, infirm, and elders who died in the course of Bush's act of piracy in Iraq.



Hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis killed, and not a peep out of the Nation's Righteous.

<i>Obama Nation</i> Author Assailed By All Parties On <i>Larry King Live</i>

Isn't Mary Matalin married to James Carville? Isn't James Carville a Clinton Foot Soldier? Hasn't James Carville said that he now supports Obama? Didn't James Carville know what project his wife was working on with Corsi, or do they limit their pillow talk to the Sleep Number adjustment for their mattress?



In short, from where does this Corsi "book" come from? Who supports it? The GOP alone. or in concert with another well known group of "born again" Obama supporters?



I'm curious to know.

The John Edwards Affair: Accountability for New & Old Media?

Steve, I feel bad for the Edwards Family and wish that this whole thing had only been a smear. I feel bad for the overlooked constituecy, that Edwards spoke to and for, who lost a credible advocate with media access. I wonder if a few illicit trysts with a person he didn't even love was worth Edwards' chance at VP, AG, Supreme Court, or even President, not to mention the impact to his family?



Selfishly, I breathe a sigh of relief that Edwards was exposed before he was embraced by the Obama Campaign as running mate or in some other high profile role that could have distracted from Obama's race for the White House.



I am reminded that lack of wisdom is never overcome by intelligence.



But most of all, I am astounded at how Fox News - in its rabid desire to get the National Enquirer's Edwards story out - undermined the benefit the story would have had to the McCain campaign by not waiting until Obama had given Edwards a more integral campaign role. The revelation would have tainted Obama, by questioning his judgement at including Edwards, so forth and so on . That Fox News engaged in a premature attack and diminished its benefit to their cause is the most important takeaway from this whole affair.

Bush & Habbush

Mr. Kusnetz, the following provision within Executive Order 12333 may create a wall that inhibits discovery of whether or not the forgery was initiated by the White House or the CIA.



"2.7 Contracting.



Agencies within the Intelligence Community are authorized to enter into contracts or arrangements for the provision of goods or services with private companies or institutions in the United States and need not reveal the sponsorship of such contracts or arrangements for authorized intelligence purposes. Contracts or arrangements with academic institutions may be undertaken only with the contract of appropriate officials of the institution."



If the CIA and White House decide to classify outsourced forgery being created for - authorized intelligence purposes - then good luck getting to the bottom of the story.



When in 1981, William Casey steered Reagan into privatizing the CIA through Executive Order 12333, a Pandora's Box of off the books Intel Operations were made possible, and plausible deniability for the activities of the CIA and President, assured.



Without an insider from the contractor providing evidence, the story ends ... and, my hunch is, at this point, a Quija Board is probably the best way to communicate with Habbush.

Sexual Assault and the Military: When Will the Pentagon Take Action?

Paul, the article below discusses this topic as well:



Why Male Military Veterans Are Committing Sexual Assault at Alarming Rates

By Lucinda Marshall, AlterNet. Posted May 25, 2007.



http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/52339/



Outside the Philippine Bases, pre 1992, you had an R&R industry available to US Military personnel that was a virtual emporium of deviance and misogyny. When you have a culture of anything goes, where men can engage and explore any perversion they like without oversight ... you have a problem.



A guy goes into some of these Hooker Towns that cater to Military Men (they exist outside every US foreign base to be sure) and they are going to come away with some pretty bad habits. Today, places like Korea, Thailand and Okinawa, have woman and children provided to the brothels through human trafficking, and they are slaves. It is a leap of faith to believe that men who develop tastes and and a mindset of degrading woman in a Military Sex Resort, are going to abandon them when stationed with females in isolated Iraq, or even when they return stateside.



Blowback occurs when the Military allows abuse of women in one context and prohibits it in another ... not all male soldiers, to be sure, are the problem. The US Military, however, has to re-evaluate acceptable behavior towards all women, not just American, and not just in uniform, in order to avoid misogynistic imprinting on some of our troops, that can lead to abuses.

Paris Hilton Responds To John McCain's Celebrity Ad (VIDEO)

The Old White Haired Dude that's offering his topless wife up to Bikers? That Old White Haired Dude?



The funny thing about this is that Paris so eloquently skewered McCain, both verbally and visually, that I wouldn't be surprised if the McCain Campaign comes up with a new spin every couple of hours in an effort to pull themselves out from under this viral vid. Grand Slam for Paris ... um, you know what I mean.



I also have to correct my previous assertion that Paris was, in fact, an Eloi ... with this biting response, she revealed a wee bit of Morlock, and that is commendable.
