Read All About It In the Sunday Papers-Sept. 20 Edition
LEAD STORY: McClatchy Papers: Anti-Government Protests Racism By Another Name Of course it is, and it has been since the beginning of the Obama Administration, but the ‘respectable’ media has failed to tell the story. Until now: At about the same time (Nov. 5 after Obama had been declared the winner), newspaper Web sites were […]
Teabaggers on Parade
The other night Anderson Cooper had Mark Williams on his show. Mr. Williams is one of the leaders of the tea party protests. Unfortunately for Williams, Cooper had done some homework before the interview.
Cooper: What you’re saying makes sense to me here when I’m hearing what you say but then I read on your blog, you say, you call the President an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief.
Williams: Yeah, that’s the way he’s behaving.
A Conservative Calls Out Other Conservatives For Race-Baiting
So, is a backlash finally starting to happen? Rod Dreher, a conservative columnist, has called out Rush Limbaugh for his inflammatory rhetoric. But first, a little background.

Birthers Causing A Problem…For CNN?
CNN’s Lou Dobbs is a crazy birther. Jon Stewart ridicules him, while CNN repeatedly debunks the birth certificate nonsense.
They Just Can’t Help Themselves
Tea party activist and neurosurgeon Dr. David McKalip thinks a picture of Obama depicted as a witch doctor is “funny stuff.” He thought it was so great he sent it to his fellow tea partiers.
Obama Calls It Like He Sees It
President Obama commented last night on the Henry Gates arrest a few days ago in Cambridge. Now, I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that […]

Valley Swim Club Invites Kids Back To Pool
Earlier this week we read about the Valley Swim Club in Philadelphia which turned away 65 mostly African-American kids from a day camp. Today the Valley Swim Club announced that they were reversing the decision. Duesler said the club canceled its contract with the Creative Steps day-care because of safety, crowding and noise concerns, not […]
Audra Shay Wins Leadership Of Young Republicans
Remember Audra Shay? She’s was the candidate for chair of the Young Republicans groups that had this exchange on her facebook page:
Two minutes later, Piker posted again saying “Obama Bin Lauden [sic] is the new terrorist… Muslim is on there side [sic]… need to take this country back from all of these mad coons… and illegals.”
Eight minutes after that, at 2:02, Shay weighed in on Piker’s comments: “You tell em Eric! lol.”
She then de-friended some Republicans who dared to complain.
I Wonder if This Guy Manages a Pool in His Off Hours?
Why do I keep hoping that the Republicans eventually “get it”? I think it must be a weakness in my personality.
It’s A Complexion Thing
Anonone brought this article to our attention. More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason. “I heard this lady, she was like, ‘Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?’ She’s like, ‘I’m scared they might do […]
The Lone Wolf Argument Doesn’t Hold Up When It Comes To Republican Racism
Electing the first black President was always going to shake things up, or, rather dig things up, but I really wasn’t prepared for the in-your-face racism spewing out of Republicans. Subtlety is not their strong point – and neither is technology. If Michael Steele truly wants to “rebuild” the GOP his first order should be […]
Racist Staffer “Reprimanded,” Keeps Job
Do you remember Sherri Goforth, the aide to Tennessee state senator Diane Black? She’s the aide who sent out an email with a picture of all the presidents that depicted Obama as only eyeballs (’cause he’s dark, you know, har har).Well, Senator Black has responded to the calls for firing Goforth by sending a sternly […]
