Remember when the wingnuts were so concerned (and therefore, naturally, the media were as well) about Barack Obama becoming "overexposed"? Why no such concern about that happening to Sarah Palin? I guess they just care about Obama more than her.

Good thought. I guess it goes back to what Ernest Canning said: they simply don't care about being hypocrites, they don't care if "their guys" lie, etc...etc...they can't be taken seriously at all on anything.

Unlike Palin-mania, Obamania is driven by the left's need to assuage their collective guilt over slavery in the US.

Thanks for your continuing racist commentary, David. What would we do without the haters like yourself to remind us why we fight for this nation and this planet?
As a matter of fact, your comments on this blog of late have helped remind me of our collective Jewish guilt driven by the distasteful behavior of a shame minority of members of our tribe, such as yourself, who make all of us look just terrible.
(For those who feel that's all unnecessarily harsh, take a gander at Mr. Black's ugliness in comments back here on this thread. I'm sorry to say that haters like him are likely beyond redemption. But we can still try.)

David Black @4
I'm an African American. And I highly resent that you would use our suffering as a reason for Obama's election...that you a man of supposed Jewish descent would nullify the reasons that millions voted for the first non-white President of the United States.
Do you actually believe that the majority of voters finally decided after 150-200 yrs to give Black folk reparations in the form of electing a black President ? Who by the way is half-white. I note President Obama's full heritage because his mother's family has a right to be proud also.
Mr. Black I read your other comments on the KSM-MSM thread. You sir use your supposed Jewishness as a cover-excuse for your bigotry and hate. The same way you would accuse Blacks of doing the same to justify unsavory behavior or lifestyle.
You and NOI leader Minister Farrakhan a man whose intellect I sometimes admire; but other times find his ideas repulsive....you Mr. Black and Minister Farrakhan use the same tactics to express your hatred. Mr Farrakhan is a leader in his world...you however are simply a programmed repeater of lies and hate.
Nevertheless...yes I voted for President Obama..and yes Mr. Obama has disappointed me tremendously because he's not reversed any of the previous Administration's violations of our rights. But for you my friend to minimize his election as simply "the left's need to assuage their collective guilt" is simply ignorant bigotry.
The world has been constantly reminded ad infintum about the Jewish holocaust, the poor little nation of Israel and those monsters who threaten her...all the while the U.S. is pouring billions in military aid into a country the size of New Jersey, that could blow her neighbors to kingdom come at the push of a button.
After 9/11 we heard almost equally about "the safety and security of Israel" even as the Towers were still a smoking heap.
You sir are simply being a racist war monger...Whom I doubt has actually experienced any racism or war.
You're a History Channel hero.
Given the history of Blacks and Jews during the civil rights days....I doubt that you're Jewish. Jews were our major non-Black ally in that struggle. It was Jews who marched and died along with us...Jews who were beaten and jailed...along with us.
You're a fake.

To BlueHawk & BigDan: some days I am proud to be an American. Your words are maybe sardonic (BigDanY and DEFINITELY heartfelt (BlueHawk) but what they really are is TRUTH TO POWER-OVER. I have recently experienced a spiritual shift, and I wish to contribute something: we gotta love the haters. We gotta love the haters. Not with pity, but knowing them as our brothers and sisters. When we ssee them as separate and different, and we distance ourselves from those we disagree with, we only give them power. Love unites. Give it a try. Biggest day of my sad, sorry life when I GOT this. Blessings, and let's keep speaking truth to power over! You all just ROCK!

So true. But identifying someone's behavior and telling them it lacks integrity isn't hating them.
I think/hope I expressed myself to David in a respectful manner; a lot more respectful than David Black has given others in his comments on Bradblog.
I too believe and practice the power of Love (emphasis on practice, not mastery)..but being loving entails being frank and honest about one's thoughts and feelings as I was with David Black.

BlueHawk - I thought you did an admirable job.
David Black - I was not alive during slavery and if I had been, my family would likely have lived in the farthest reaches of non-slave states because we never lived South of Ohio. Therefore, there never was, never will be any smidgeon of guilt over the mistreatment of other human beings that principally was carried out by those who now proudly call themselves - here it comes - REPUBLICANS.

You certainly did, BlueHawk. And thank you for that. I appreciate that it's not easy, particularly since this sleazeball has just posted elsewhere the he hopes to see my throat slit.
(He also managed to throw in some gay-bashing there, in order to add to his already appalling record of racism and sexism that he's so far exhibited in his posting here, and revealed himself to be a liar to boot, claiming we've "censored" his posts. We haven't. But we likely will if he continues with his hateful filth.)
Helluva guy, eh? Again, I can only hope that folks don't see his disgusting opinions and use it against the entirety of Jewish people in order to shore up their own hateful anti-Semitism.

I think Minister Farrakhan has grown considerably over the years, and has ceased the hard edged stuff that scares so many whites. I went batshit crazy for his speech at Rosa Parks' funeral. It was transcendental. It rocked so hard I was hopping up and down and yelling with glee... as was just about everyone there. A Muslim, he out-Christianed and out-Jewed, just downright out-did, every other speaker in the whole six hours of the broadcast.

And he's quoting (or maybe misquoting) me from an ACORN thread from months ago. How long has he been cruising (stalking) Bradblog and how the hell can he go find a BlueHawk comment on a months old thread ? That took some effort.

Minister Farrakhan is a brilliant man no doubt. The Rosa Parks eulogy was awesome. As a man who has listened to Farrakhan over the years I agree with you he has mellowed in his stance.
I have other issues for lack of a better word about Farrakhan. For example I was an attendee of the Million Man March, I think Minister Farrakhan squandered a beautiful energy that was unleashed that day...Oct.16th 1995. There was no follow-up organization or effort when we got home. It's like Farrakhan went on to his next agenda item...and let the MMM energy fizzle.
We here in metro Detroit formed a Million Man Alumni Association and still meet to this day...40,000 men from Detroit went to Washington in Oct. 1995 and only about 10-15 are still active today in the alumni group. Farrakhan didn't have a follow-up structure for bringing that energy home.
But nevertheless...That was a great piece you posted. I saw it on your site before.
Thanks...

This is crazy stuff! We better start paying attention to this! There's people with real problems (the teabaggers) and Glenn Beck/FOX "news" are grabbing their ears and shifting them their way, like the rise of the Nazi's, that's exactly what happened!
Beck wasted little time before displaying his narcissism, declaring himself and all those present as the nation's "Constitution czar" just a few minutes into his appearance. He then tried to stir up the crowd with what appeared to be a reference to climate change, declaring: "The science is not settled. We will not sit down. We will not shut up. We will stand!"
Next, Beck continued on his crusade to expose the corruption in this country, though of course only corruption relating to anything and anyone connected to the Democratic Party
Beck then revealed that he was really concerned about this issue not because they are stealing from us, but our children.
As usual, Beck then brought up the example of the Weimar Republic of Germany.
"You're not the ones getting rich right now, you're not the one taking all of your money and buying precious minerals."
Next, Beck explained the first step of his plan. He has formed a shadow cabinet to advise him on various issues including health care, defense, energy, education, and others, just like a political figure.
they could go to any of Beck's seven "education conventions" to learn "everything we need to know" such as an alternative history of the Statue of Liberty, and even community organizing, and of course Beck will "teach you how to be a politician" if you really want to run for office.
Raising the fear that those in debt could be enslaved in the future, Beck called on everyone present to be an example for the country
http://www.glennbeck.com...icles/article/198/33398/
This is VERY SCARY, like the Nazi's rise to power!
