Hillary doesn’t deserve the black vote, says The Nation

I saw this on Memeorandum and my eyes bugged out. 😯

Via Michelle Alexander at The Nation:

Hillary Clinton loves black people. And black people love Hillary—or so it seems. Black politicians have lined up in droves to endorse her, eager to prove their loyalty to the Clintons in the hopes that their faithfulness will be remembered and rewarded. Black pastors are opening their church doors, and the Clintons are making themselves comfortably at home once again, engaging effortlessly in all the usual rituals associated with “courting the black vote,” a pursuit that typically begins and ends with Democratic politicians making black people feel liked and taken seriously. Doing something concrete to improve the conditions under which most black people live is generally not required.

Hillary is looking to gain momentum on the campaign trail as the primaries move out of Iowa and New Hampshire and into states like South Carolina, where large pockets of black voters can be found. According to some polls, she leads Bernie Sanders by as much as 60 percent among African Americans. It seems that we—black people—are her winning card, one that Hillary is eager to play.

And it seems we’re eager to get played. Again.

It gets better, go read this one. She spares no expense in gutting the Clintons. It’s that good.

Chris Christie to bail, Maybe?

Getting alot of conflicting reports on this one.

First the Video, via Fox News Insider:

The Story via FNC Insider:

As results showed Chris Christie on track for a sixth place showing in New Hampshire, the New Jersey governor said that he would be heading home to evaluate his campaign, instead of continuing directly to South Carolina.

Christie said: “Mary Pat and I spoke tonight and we’ve decided we’re going to go home to New Jersey tomorrow and we’re going to take a deep breath, see what the final results are tonight. …

“We’ll make a decision on our next step forward based on the results.”

Watch the statement above.

UPDATE, 11:00am: The Christie campaign says no decision has been made on whether to end his presidential bid.

However, HotAir.com shares this tweet here:

So, who is right here? I don’t mean politically! I mean, about the story. 😉

Either way, I predicted this would happen in my last video that I shot last night. Sorry to see him go; I think Christie could have done well; if he had not had that bromance moment with President Obama. It might not have been what Christie had in mind; but in politics, image is everything and if you do something like that, it will come back to haunt you.

Pro-gun advocates denounce Ted Nugent’s rant

As you all know, Ted Nugent stepped into it and I mean badly.

Well, it seems that a pro-gun blog has something to say about it. This comes via Bearing Arms:

Nugent’s appeal to authority—”my dad killed nazis & saved Jews in WWII”—doesn’t excuse what he posted last night, and he’s frankly seems too cowardly to address all the rational and factually correct criticism of the image he chose to use.

Quite a few people of the pro-gun people that I’ve spoken with today are simply done with Nugent. They’re tired of feeling that they have to defend his half-baked rhetoric and simple-minded outbursts. Many people are calling for him to resign from the NRA Board and for him to have his membership stripped from him.

While I think forcing him out of the NRA entirely is a bit much, I do think he owes the world a sincere apology. If he can’t find that sincerity in his heart, then he has no business being on the board of an inclusive organization such as the National Rifle Association.

I think Ted Nugent will not be saying anything else anytime soon.

 

 

Ted Nugent steps in it, deep

Hoo Boy! Ted Nugent has stepped into it and I mean deep too…

The Story:

Yesterday on Facebook, celebrity Second Amendment fan Ted Nugent posted photos of a dozen gun control supporters, all of them Jews, as indicated by the little Israeli flags over their faces. The headline: “So who is really behind gun control?” The captions on some of the photos mention additional offenses, such as “ISRAEL FIRSTER” (Alan Dershowitz), “gave Russian Jew immigrants your tax money” (Frank Lautenberg), “served in Israel’s army during Gulf War” (Rahm Emanuel), and “Nanny State troublemaker and 911 Israeli agent” (Michael Bloomberg). According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the grid of 12 anti-gun Jews “was apparently not created by Nugent, but has appeared in the past on anti-Semitic web sites” (such as this one)  Source: Ted Nugent Claims Wildly Anti-Semitic Array of Gun-Hating Jews Was Misconstrued – Hit & Run : Reason.com

His posting? This:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And his reply to those who did not like the posting?

Just when you hope that mankind couldnt possibly get any dumber or more dishonest, superFreaks rise to the occasion. What sort of racist prejudiced POS could possibly not know that Jews for guncontrol are nazis in disguise? “NEVER AGAIN!” Anyone? Anyone?? RUFKM! The founder of Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership called me his 2nd Amendment/Freedom hero. The NEVER AGAIN battlecry was universally embraced by all good people who will make sure another Holocaust never happens again. Freaks have plummeted to whole new low. Plummet on punks. Plummet on. Meanwhile I adjust my yamika at my barmitzva playing my kosher guitar. My dad killed nazis & saved Jews in WWII. Eat me. (source)

“The Nuge” as he is often called, is about to learn a hard lesson in what happens to one who dares to mention “The race of people who shall not be mentioned.” Good thing he is at the stage of his career that he is at; because if he were just starting out, he would be officially done, toast, finished.

I suspect before too long, Nugent will offer some sort of groveling apology to the masses for this little incident. I feel for him though, I have been there and it sucks when they do attack. I think he will ride it out; but there will be hell to pay. This is not a good way to promote a career though, not at all.
