NAACP: I wonder how long it will be before the NAACP repudiates its own racist elements? In the most cynical way the NAACP is the big winner in their race-baiting conference. The organization has become irrelevant, but here we are, still talking about the group after two weeks. The biggest winner is Andrew Breitbart. Mr. Breitbart continues to break news and drive liberals crazy (not that it’s difficult). BTW… Has anyone come up with incriminating evidence from the D.C. protest that proves Tea Partiers shouted racial epithets at black congressmen? Andrew Breitbart’s $10,000 reward still stands. It seems odd that in the era of the cell phone camera and the iPhone that no one can produce even a shred of evidence supporting racism at a Tea Party. Maybe that’s because there is no such evidence because it only exists in the fever swamps of the left? We flush and you make the call!
U.S. Manufacturing: I know there’s a lot of doom and gloom these days, but Carpe Diem sheds some light on why losing manufacturing jobs isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless you manufacture stuff. What is Mark J. Perry’s conclusion? A threefold increase in worker productivity is a major reason why there are less manufacturing jobs. Losing jobs is never pleasant, but manufacturing is going through the same cycle that farming went through 150 years ago. Soylent Green is people! Aughahgaghagagh!
Constituency: It looks like President Obama has found his constituency. The President’s approval rating sucks throughout most of the United States, but the residents of Washington, D.C. give Obama an 85% approval rating! It’s worth noting that the top ten states where Obama has the highest approval are also some of the most bankrupt. I guess if a state is used to bad leadership, what difference does it make? It might also have something to do with the fact that most of the residents either work for the government, are on the dole, are in their sixth year of graduate school or are otherwise drags on society.
More Good News: It appears the oil seepage two miles from the oil spill isn’t related to the BP disaster. I know that’s a load off the minds of the American people. Sure, there’s another leak out there polluting the Gulf, but at least BP isn’t responsible. It’s Obama’s fault!
Finally… It appears the racist member of the NAACP has resigned. The good news just keeps on coming. I’m sure the whole thing is a big misunderstanding and the truth is really that I’m a racist for even pointing out this story.
Update: It appears the video that was at the center of the controversy was edited in the worst possible way. Shirley Sherrod’s story is actually touching, except for the Marxist sentiments. However, it must be noted that the crowd of NAACP members seems on board with the whole “our kind” message. I expect that to be an overlooked part of this story.
“It seems odd that in the era of the cell phone camera and the iPhone that no one can produce even a shred of evidence supporting racism at a Tea Party.”
The Tea Party isn’t a racist movement. However, Mark Williams has said some pretty racist stuff and his letter to Lincoln clearly attacked black people. You got to expect some heat when you have a guy like that as a prominent leader of the Tea Party Express. The fact that the Express won’t condemn his actions just raises even more brows. I mean, I just saw a political commercial with “Endorsed by the Tea Party Express and Sarah Palin” at the bottom of the screen for the entire commercial.
Again, is the tea party as a whole racist? No way. Is it fair to call Mark Williams a racist based on his comments and question the integrity of the Express based on their relationship? Hell yes!
