In “The View’s” recent interview with Herman Cain, Joy Behar made the blockbuster revelation that “the Republican Party hasn’t been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.”

Dang, I had it backwards all these years.  Professor Behar has now debunked the nefarious GOP conspiracy to obscure the apparent true history of Jefferson Davis and the Democrat Party as valiant freedom fighters against Abraham Lincoln and the Republican enslavement of blacks and enactment of Jim Crow laws.  Now I’m breathlessly awaiting the two hour “View Special Report: Republican Racists Exposed.”

Joking aside, I can’t decide whether Behar is pathetically ignorant or maliciously deceitful.  Either way, it is shocking that a liberal “journalist” can appear on national television and, without harsh rebuke or universal media derision, whitewash the sordid history of Democrat oppression of blacks and slander the commensurate noble history of Republican efforts to support blacks.

Race-baiting has become cliche among the Left for at least three decades.  The uglier side of that cliche is the barely masked hatred the Left reserves especially for conservative black politicians – a hatred that often appears uncomfortably close to old-time Democrat racism.  Recently it has plunged some leftwingers into spittle flying, vein popping rage, while others, such as Janeane Garofalo, engage in incoherent psycho-babbling that Republicans love Herman Cain because they secretly hate black men.   The Left incessantly chants how Cain is a stupid, unlearned, unserious Uncle Tom.  While usually incoherent and witless, the Left’s message is consistent:  Blacks are not entitled to respect if they express opinions contrary to those permitted them by the Left.

As the unofficial, official Newspaper of the progressive movement, the NY Times has a core audience to placate, but who would think that they would go out of their way to alienate the rest of their readership. But that’s exactly what they did in an editorial called “Pomp, and Little Circumstance”, which rebukes the GOP for the attempt to repeal Obamacare, allowing John Boehner to swear his staff in early and most startling, for wasting the people’s time by starting off the 112th Congress with a reading of the United States Constitution.

….The empty gestures are officially intended to set a new tone in Washington, to demonstrate — presumably to the Republicans’ Tea Party supporters — that things are about to be done very differently. But it is far from clear what message is being sent by, for instance, reading aloud the nation’s foundational document. Is this group of Republicans really trying to suggest that they care more deeply about the Constitution than anyone else and will follow it more closely?

The Times doesn’t even understand what the Constitution is all about, it is not just a “foundational document,” it is the rule book; the guide for the way our U.S. Government is supposed to work.  The oath that members of Congress take as part of their swearing in ceremony pledges their allegiance to the Constitution as a their priority.

Frightened by websites that don’t only report on stories that are Soros- and Obama-administration approved, CNN decides it just better to demand that free speech be shut down.

Yesterday on CNN’s American Morning, Kiran Chetry and John Roberts interviewed Shirley Sherrod about her response to the recent controversy over the release of her comments at an NAACP dinner.

When Roberts pressed Sherrod about what she would like to see Andrew Breitbart do in response to her summary firing by Labor secretary Tom Vilsack over her comments she said, “apologize.” That was the extent after rephrasing multiple times, “an apology.”

Apparently that wasn’t enough for Chetry. She responded by saying, “Would you like to see his site shut down?”

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann came back from vacation to rant about the Sherrod story and now CNN is directing, completely unprompted by their guest, Sherrod to demand that Breitbart’s site be shut down. Olbermann and the rest of the left haven’t stopped blaming Fox News since Sherrod lost her job at lightning speed for her own comments that were in context (even though Fox News didn’t report on the Sherrod story until after she lost her job).

How do we go from “an apology” to shutting down free speech? It’s easy for the fascist left. (more…)

UPDATE: The bounty is now $100,000 for any audio/video footage of the N-word being hurled at Congressmen John Lewis and Andre Carson.

After 14 months of committing 100% to health care reform, the day after the signing of the Health Care bill was to mark the Democratic Party’s new primary concern: destroy the uprising, annihilate by all means necessary, the Tea Party movement.

The first sign that a plan was in place was the ham-fisted, high-camp posturing of the most controversial members of the Democratic caucus walking through the peaceful but animated “Tea Party” demonstrators on Capitol Hill. There is no reason for these elected officials to walk above ground through the media circus amid their ideological foes. The natural route is the tunnels between the House office buildings and the Capitol. By crafting a highly symbolic walk of the Congressional Black Caucus through the majority white crowd, the Democratic Party was looking to provoke a negative reaction. They didn’t get it. So they made it up.

The proof that the N-word wasn’t said once, let alone 15 times, as Rep. Andre Carson claimed, is that soon thereafter — even though the press dutifully reported it as truth — Nancy Pelosi followed the alleged hate fest, which allegedly included someone spitting, by walking through the crowd with a gavel in hand and a shit-eating grin on her face. Had the incidents reported by the Congressional Black Caucus actually occurred the Capitol Police would have been negligent to allow the least popular person to that crowd – the Speaker – to put herself in harm’s way.

That crowd was a sea of new-media equipment. Not only were tens of thousands people armed with handicams, BlackBerrys and iPods, so also was the mainstream media there, covering every inch of the event. Why did not one mainstream media outlet raise the specter that perhaps a video would exist to prove the events occurred? I am still dealing with the same press telling me we didn’t prove that ACORN was aiding and abetting criminal activity because we “did not provide enough audio and video evidence.” (Insert laugh track.) Is there not a blatant double standard at play here? Nancy Pelosi tipped her hand that race was a central part of her strategy. She invoked the Civil Rights Act and compared it with the universally reviled health care bill. Her caucus is doubling down on the civil-rights rhetoric. There are no coincidences.
