Oh my good Lord another bizzarre article in this odious rag US News. (To think my husband & I had a subscription back in the day.) We were post liberal brainwashing we got at the institutions of higher learning !!! (LOL)
Fortunately critical thinking kicked in & we realized who the enemy was (is) & continues to be. That being said, Sadly this first black POS is wrong on so many levels for this country. He is an innate *divider* did he not say "You bring a gun I ll bring a knife" "Rich need to *pay* their fair share (of course to the Dems everyone with a job is considered rich !" He is Chicago thug politics writ large. Pay to play, Illinois has had GOVERNORS go to jail for heavens sake.
That is where Obama is from where gov are convicted felons. Does this guy know how to pit one against another, of course it's his stock in trade.

Obama isn't the first black president, he's the first 50% black president and he's done nothing but cause disunity in our country: race, religion and class are all things he's pitting us against each other with. He's got to go in '12

Please remember (and check his website for Bannon Communication Research) that Bannon is a paid propagandist for the unions and the Democrats. One of his previous posts was about the ugly rhetoric in the GOP ads, but if you listen to the first sample ad on his web site, it is one the scare ads saying if you vote for the GOP candidate in whatever race it was far, the police cars won’t be able to come, the fire trucks won’t be able to come to house, you know the usual BS that appeals to the ignorant voters he targets. I have said it before, Bannon is the guy King George would go to, to turn the colonists against the revolution by running ads saying that George Washington just wants to revolution so he and his friends in the 1% won’t have to pay taxes, and he is the guy Japan would have hired to produce the Tokyo Rose radio spots.

Wow, this article is wrong in so many ways. First there were no of racial epithets hurled at black members of Congress. There were literally thousands of cameras there, but not on racial epithet. Secondly the race baiting in the Martin case comes from the Obama crowd. Obama really needs to “get out the vote” in Florida, so this plays into his campaign. Your first clue should have been the two Reverends that have a long history of race baiting. It has also been discovered that NBC edited the 911 call to put a racial spin on it. Zimmerman, as it turns out, is a registered democrat and has a history of helping the black community. Serves him right to be thrown under the bus by the very people he supports.
I suspect that this blog is part of the larger “get-out the vote” plan. When Obama is race baiting, call the other party race baiters. When Obama is radical, call them radical. Great strategy, too bad he can’t run on his record.

the republicans,and the presumed nominee, mitt"Clark griswold" romney 's
biggest problems is that a large segment of the electorate,that vote for the
g.o.p in 2010 will not be duped again in 2012.
the republicans are trying to sell 8-tracks in era of i-pod's.

BRAD _ YOU FUNNY _ "Republican Race-Baiting " ???
WE have a recession, due in part, due to "race-baiting" by Acorn & lawyer Barack Hussein Obama. In the name of helping the poor, bad home loans was fostered with threats of racism directed at banks BY Acorn & now President.
Man responsible originally for housing plan years ago before Bill C., Jimmy Carter, said those against bumcare were racist. Forgetting completely defeat of health plan under SLICK WILLEY the dress stainer.
Democrats will lie and say they are the hope of equality when laws passed historical are Republican hard fought work. Many passed by ALL REPUBLICAN VOTES __ We shined in civil rights legislation NOT DEMOCRATS __:
“The Democrat Race Lie”

&
One thing that is clear through this entire discussion is that we may never know what happened that night. If people think the media is paying too much attention to this tragedy, perhaps it’s because so much of the information and commentary we’re hearing is divisive speculation intent on proving racism is alive and well in white America, whatever that is.
Consider this before your next rant: There is a grain of truth in most stereotypes. Maybe Zimmerman would have followed a white guy wearing a hoodie if he saw him looking around at people’s houses. You and many other bloggers would like us to believe it was all about Martin’s skin color. Did you even listen to the 911 call? He didn’t know his race at first, until he got a better look at the guy. Perhaps it was Martin’s behavior and clothing that tipped Zimmerman off about a potential criminal. Many young men glorify the gangster culture, not just African Americans. I’m not saying, or even implying, that Martin was or should be followed or killed for wearing a hoodie, but is it possible that if young black men reject gangbanger clothing styles, behavior patterns and language, there would be less profiling going on? How are we going to end racism while so many people continue to venerate these negative stereotypes? You’re not helping the discussion with your pretense and nonsense.
