Time to Play "Face the Racist"

The other night, I turned on CNN in hopes of getting some intelligent Presidential election coverage and instead I happened to catch a follow up commentary by John Sununu on Piers Morgan.

John is no stranger to making a complete ass out of himself on national television, but at the (1:02) mark of this clip something more sinister showed through his thin veneer.





John Sununu - "When you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama."

Piers Morgan - "What reason would that be?"

John Sununu - "Well ... I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being President of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him."

When you take a look at Colin Powell ... ?

What are we looking at?

Are we looking at his black skin, John?

Perhaps we should be looking at your cold black heart, John.

I had my coat on, and was ready to go toilet paper my local Republican Party campaign office, when a glimmer of light appeared on my TV.

I cannot tell you how impressed I am by Lawrence Wilkerson in this clip. The world needs more men and women like this ... brave enough to speak out in the face of this kind of ugliness.

Col. Wilkerson's chilling comments are tradgically echoed by new polling results released by the Associated Press today.

- 51% of Americans now express anti-black attitudes, compared with 48% in a similar 2008 survey.

- When measured by an implicit tacial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56%, up from 49% during the last Presidential election.

- 52% of non-Hispanic whites expressed anti-Hispanic attitudes. That figure rose to 57% in the implicit test.

As coincidence would have it, the polls also show 51-52% of Americans behind Romney/Ryan.

On The Spot

I am still laughing at this moron's CNN debut.





I normally don't like to kick someone when they are down.

I could not resist this time.

The rape of the American taxpayer

For the last week, multiple newspapers have been reporting that the town of Wasilla charged rape victims for their forensic exams while Sarah Palin was the mayor.

CNN's Jessica Yellin followed up by interviewing the sponsor of a law that sought to end this insensitive practice. Eric Croft felt that was unrealistic to think that for six months the mayor would not be aware of this policy.





Frankly I think that the liberal media elite are being wildly unfair to our future Vice President.

After all, as a devoted Reagan Republican, she was simply following her duty to look out for Joe Taxpayer.

In fact, in order to save additional funds, Wasilla will now charge victims of child molestation for the anatomical dolls used to identify the places they were touched by their abusers.




This practice alone will save thousands of dollars for the Alaskan taxpayers. Those dolls are expensive!

Plus, all of the children will be allowed to keep their dolls as a keepsake and a snuggle buddy.

Their Better Halves

I must admit that I am a bit of a political junkie.

I stayed up late last night to watch the Rhode Island, Vermont, Texas and Ohio primaries, and I was very happy with the results.

I was a firm supporter of John Edwards, and I must also admit that I have spoken out against Hillary's electability in the past.

However, between the two remaining Democratic candidates, I am now backing and voting for Hillary Clinton.

Never underestimate the intelligence of the American Voter.



-Some Americans choose their candidate for their positions on the issues.

-Others vote for the candidate they think is the most able to lead this country.

-And others will cast their vote based on the past voting record of the candidates themselves.

Frankly, I think that is totally silly.

The obvious deciding factor should be the spouse of the candidate.

Let's take a look ... shall we?


WE CAN START WITH THE REPUBLICANS

First there is Janet Huckabee.



*She certainly is a solid woman.

*As a right winger, you are going to love her ability to handle a gun.

*It doesn't stop there. She also knows how to rock the big stuff.


Then there is Cindy McCain.



*There is no denying that she is a very beautiful and classy lady.

*Bonus: She stands by her man ... despite rumors that John might have been screwing lobbyist Vicki Iseman.





NOW FOR THE DEMOCRATS

First there is Michelle Obama.



*I don't know about you guys, but this woman really scares me.
(I think she scares Barack too)

*I seriously think she could kick Janet Huckabee's ass.
(And that says a lot)


This leaves me with one very obvious choice.


SIR BILL



*I need eight more years of Bill in the White House.

Brain Trust

"I think I got a B in Econ 101. I got an A, however, in keeping taxes low."

I really hope everybody watched the Democratic debate on CNN tonight.

Go Bruins!

This one is for Zohreh.

This is the unedited footage of the UCLA Powell library incident involving campus police and Iranian student Mostafa Tabatabainejad.




The two comments I would make are:

1) If you are going to TASER someone for not standing up immediately, right after you have just shot them with the TASER, you are either a moron or a sadist ... or both.

*NOT ALL ... but SOME cops and security people have a major streak of power hunger. They can sometimes be just as violent as the people they are meant to protect you from.

Note: With 30 seconds to go in the footage a guard threatens to TASER another student for voicing his disapproval.

2) As someone who works in the film business, this is fairly poor camera work. You will not see this camera phone videographer working for CNN any time soon.
