Bigotry instead of reason

Thank you. I stumbled across Cao’s faction of the internet a few months ago while goofing around. I don’t know why I keep reading it. Perhaps its one of those guilty pleasures like watching the Jerry Springer show, or pro wresling. I commented a few times on her (it is a woman right?) blog pointing out why some of her arguments were unreasonable, but soon realized she has no interest in actually arguing anything. Her attitude (as well as some others in her area of the ‘sphere) is that as long as she is saying what she has to say louder than everyone else, that makes her right. Even if the quotes and cites the same racist editorial four times to prove an invalid point. Anyhow, your blog makes me laugh, even though the craziness you are pointing out with it is quite sad. Keep it up!

Obama’s Extensive Ties to Hate Groups and Bigots

“Bloodsucking Jews,” “white interlopers,” “Judaism is a gutter religion,” “White America,” “Cracker lovers,” and more
by Bill Levinson

It is a basic tenet of common sense, not to mention common decency, that public figures like celebrities and politicians do not consort with, promote, endorse, or otherwise empower racists and/or anti-Semites. Endorsement of hate mongers or hate groups, or proven hate speech, can easily derail or even end a career. We fail to understand why Barack Obama is getting a pass from the media on his open association with and promotion of the country’s most vicious racist and anti-Semitic hate mongers, who now include the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan. First, however, let’s take a look at the standard consequences of hate speech by public figures, so our readers can apply these standards to Mr. Obama.

(1) James G Watt, US Secretary of the Interior. “I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple.” Forced to resign.
(2) Trent Lott, U.S. Senator. “When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over the years, either.” When Strom Thurmond ran for President, he was a segregationist, although he had long repudiated segregationism when Lott praised him. Lott resigned as the Senate’s Republican leader.
(3) Don Imus, radio personality. Made a poor-taste joke about “nappy headed hos.” Dismissed from his job.
(4) Mel Gibson, actor. While drunk, made demeaning remarks about Jews. Apologized publicly.
(5) Mitt Romney, Presidential candidate. Made a speech at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. Henry Ford published anti-Semitic material but later repudiated it. The National Jewish Democratic Council suggests that making a speech at the museum of a long-dead EX-antisemite disqualifies Romney.

Barack Obama: Posed for numerous photos with, and praised extensively, a prominent and unrepentant racist and anti-Semite who at least indirectly incited two fatal anti-Semitic and racist pogroms (Crown Heights, Freddy’s Fashion Mart) and played a major role in the racist Tawana Brawley scam. His pastor Jeremiah Wright has made racist remarks about “white America” getting its “wake up call” on 9/11, and the Trinity United Church of Christ awarded the “Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Trumpet” Award to Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan is on record as calling Judaism a “gutter religion” while saying that “white people are potential humans,” but they “haven’t evolved yet.” Consequences: none. It is therefore up to us, and our readers, to expose this phony smile and empty suit for exactly what he is through the Internet, letters to the editor, and other media.

Cao,

Care to provide an authoritative link that actually backs up the assertions made in the copy & paste comment you posted? Farakkhan is sort of a non-issue since Obama never sought his endorsement and as far as I know these is no ‘open association’ with him that you provide evidence of. Feel free to disabuse me of this notion.

McCave on the other hand has openly sought (and received) the endorsement of John Hagee, the superstitious Talibangelist who called the Catholic Church the ‘Great Whore’, among other outlandish & cartoonish statements. Will you get indignant about that or will you cut-and-run as usual?
