Good News – United States pulls out of United Nations' World Conference on Racism because of hostility towards Israel

One word about this; Good.

Via The Politico:

White House aides told Jewish leaders on a conference call today that the United States will boycott the United Nations’ World Conference on Racism over hostility to Israel in draft documents prepared for the April conference.

The aides, including an advisor to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, Jennifer Simon, and longtime Obama advisor Samantha Power, said the administration will not participate in further negotiations on the current text or participate in a conference based on the text, sources on the call said.

They left open the option of re-engaging on a “much shorter, much different text,” a source said.

The draft outcome document, typically negotiated in advance and available here (.pdf), contains sharp and specific criticism of Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, and Western European nations and Canada have also signaled that they may boycott the conference in Geneva.

The conference is known informally as Durban II after a 2001 conference in South Africa that included a heavy focus on Israel and calls to reinstate a U.N. resolution equating Zionism and racism. Libya is chairing the preparatory meetings for this year’s conference, one of several factors prompting boycott calls.

Obama is expected to issue a statement on the subject later this afternoon, and the participants were asked not to discuss the call until a formal statement is released.

At the risk of being tagged a Obama Cheerleader or a Zionist Zealot; let me say this. I think that this is an absolutely excellent move on the President’s Part. To be clear, I do not support the United States of America showing deference or favoritism to any nation, at all. However, hostility that is rooted in a Anti-Semitic mentality is just absolutely wrong and goes against the core values of the United States, that all men are created equal in the sight of God.

I find it absolutely heartening that Obama sees this and is pulling out of this sort of a conference. Further more, this says quite a bit about the United Nations that they would allow such a horrific event to take place within their building, when, in fact, they claim to be an organization of peace.

The Southern Avenger on "Affirmative Action GOP"

How Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s awful Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s speech before Congress represents a wrongheaded and ill-fated GOP strategy of minority and gender identity politics.

What Michelle really means is…

One again, Michelle Malkin goes off the rails:

It’s one thing to see left-wingers pimp the myth that conservatives don’t do reporting. But to have a Beltway conservative show up to CPAC and lazily engage in such uninformed sanctimony? Funny thing is: Carlson was a terrific reporter in the early days of his own career…before he went on to become one of those many, you know, professional analyzers of things. Do as he says, not as he does.

He deserves all the boos he got.

Translation? Because Tucker Carlson did not stick to the Neo-Conservative talking points handed out by the Bush Administration to the Conservative reporters, Bloggers and anyone else that would recite them, he deserves to be shamed and boo’ed.

….And for what it is worth, Michelle? Tucker Carlson has had a helluva better career than you’ve ever had. I think I smell a little jealousy.

Update: I should have put this in earlier, but I didn’t think about it. I will say this, Tucker Carlson going to CPAC, which is generally accepted as a Republican “shindig” and saying what he did, was quite stupid; seeing that he is a Libertarian. But my feelings about Malkin’s carping about Tucker’s comments remain unabated.

Keith Olbermann’s Sexist, Racist & Slanderous Segment on “Countdown”

You know, I have always given Keith the benefit of the doubt, most of the time. I am a libertarian-minded kind of guy and a Paleo-Conservative, I watch Chris Matthew’s and David Shuster and Keith’s Show nightly; I avoid Maddow’s as it seem, by me at least, as a rehashing of Keith’s Show. However on his show today, Keith Olbermann blew any sort of doubt that I had that he was nothing more, than a hypocritical Liberal.

What appears below is a listing of some of the most egregious, condescending, slime ball stuff that I have ever seen on Keith’s Show, on MSNBC or in a News Cast, or in this case, a Political Opinion show. This goes beyond just your typical gentle political humor or condescending political snark. This rises to the level of outright slander. If I were Jindal, I would be getting a lawyer.

In this segment you will see the following:
  • A sexist slam towards Sarah Palin at the very beginning.
  • You will see the character “Ken the page” mock white people, particularly White Conservative males.
  • A Caveman Reference while referring to Gov. Bobby Jindal. (Racist, or just plain mean?)
  • A slanderous inference that the G.O.P. is the party of white people.
  • A slanderous Inference that Bobby Jindal is a Homosexual and a child molester.
  • An Comparison of Jindal to Gomer Pyle, by a black person, an obvious racial stereotype.
  • An obvious insult to the intelligence of white people or Southern people in general.
  • An inference that males, presumably whites, in the G.O.P, are primarily interested in women’s bodies and therefore are sexist.
  • A direct insult to G.O.P President, Michael Steele essentially calling him stupid or at best naive.

My question to my readers of this blog is this; if the tables were turned here, Politically, Racially, and so forth; would not the Liberals be screaming from the rooftops for the head of said broadcaster? Did not Don Imus lose his job for doing something very similar to this? Only difference is that Don Imus was White and the girls insulted were Black. My question then is this, how is it that a Liberal so called “News Anchor” and a black female comedian can make these sort of remarks and not a thing happen to them? That so called Comedian, did everything but call G.O.P President Michael Steele a stupid Conservative Negro on live Television!

The reason why I am writing this is because of the following; The Democrats won. I just do not understand why there seems to be this insatiable desire to continually slander Conservatives; over and over and over. It just does not make any sense. I mean, they won, can they not just move on and stop with the continual bashing?

I know, there is going to be a Liberal that is going to read this and say, “Well, Conservatives do it too!!!” Some do, Sean Hannity; Yes, he does it. Bill O’Reilly? Not so much or at least not as bad. I have been watching the repeat of his show at night at 11:00PM locally here. He seems to have lightened up quite a bit, since the end of the election. Either that or Murdoch got onto him for being a bit over the top.

My point is here is that Keith, MSNBC, NBC in general is crazy for allowing this sort of a thing to happen on a public show. Keith should be reprimanded for this sort of behavior. I realize that this Blog won’t result in much, that Liberal network has no standards, but I figured I would point this one out to the masses.

The Obligatory Bobby Jindal-Gate Continues Posting

Honestly? I would rather be getting a root canal or would rather be masturbating with 40 grit sandpaper, (SurpriseDoh) than have to Blog about this. However, If I do not, I won’t get the hits and people won’t read this Blog and I will not make any money. Hence the post. Waiting But don’t expect any earth shattering analysis here.

For starters, Jindal’s story on the boat and the bureaucrat; was supposedly a fib. Then you’ve got Michael Steele offering Jindal “Slum Love,” (Ann Coulter made the same joke..)

Ann Althouse is worried about racism. Though supposedly she’s prone to making those kind of comments herself. (H/T to this blogger here, although his hosting service is got some issues.)

Anyhow, this is all about silly to me personally, I just don’t see all the rumpus myself. I dont know I mean, Yeah, Jindal might be a bit stiff and got a southern drawl. But hey, at least he is genuine. More than I can say for people like John Kerry and Al Gore. Rolling Eyes

So, as far as I am concerned this whole thing is just plain stupid to me.

Ann Coulter insults Pelosi and mocks mentally retarded people….

While I think it is funny that Ann mocked Pelosi, I think the wording was not good at all.

But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?

via AnnCoulter.com — THE CAL RIPKEN PRESIDENT.

As a nephew of a developmentally disabled aunt, or as Ann referred to, Mentally Retarded Aunt; (My Mom’s younger sister) I think it would behove Miss. Coulter to not use such terms.

For one, it insults those who are responsible for caring for people with this sort of an disability, Like my Mom;  it also belittles their situation. Not that Ann cares, she’s one of the “beautiful people”, aptly described by the rock musician Marilyn Manson.

So, on this one, I give Miss Coulter a big fat red F.

Speaking of Monkey Business…….

Anybody care to take a stab at interpreting this?:

Media baron Rupert Murdoch issued an urgent internal communication late Monday, warning his staff: “We are in the midst of a phase of history in which nations will be redefined and their futures fundamentally altered.”

The dramatic call comes as markets continue their plunge and the future of media becomes increasingly muddled.

“Many people will be under extreme pressure and many companies mortally wounded,” Murdoch declared.

“Our competitors will be sorely tempted to take the easy beat, to reduce quality in the search for immediate dividends.”

He continued: “Let me be very clear about our company: where others might step back from their commitment to their viewers, their users, readers and customers – we will renew ours.

“The direction of the business now and over the next few years will define the character of our company for decades.”

Honestly, I have zero clue that that is all about. Anyone????

Funny Headline of the Day

Taxing pot could become a political toking point…

😆 I must confess that’s one the more funnier headlines I’ve seen in a while. It links here.

Who let this rather hilarious headline fly? None other than Matt Drudge.

Update: I was mistaken, ooops! LA Times originally published that funny headline and Matt Drudge picked it up. Guess I should check the story link, before I publish. 🙄 Ooops… 😳

Just the same, I still found it to be quite funny. 😀
