Mass Murder: White man kills 9 at black church prayer service...

Horror...

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Police are searching for a gunman who opened fire and killed nine people Wednesday night during a prayer service at a historic African American church in downtown Charleston, S.C., in one of the worst attacks on a place of worship in recent memory.
At least one other person was injured in the assault, which police described as a “hate crime.”
Police launched a manhunt for the gunman, described as a clean-shaven white male in his early 20s, who has sandy blond hair and a small build. Police said he was wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and Timberland boots. He is believe to be the only shooter. Police in fatigues, some with K-9 dogs, said they were searching “near and far” for the gunman and pursuing “lots of tips.”

Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus: Dems lost midterms because of racist southern whites...

When you have no acceptable excuses, play the race card...

Via Breitbart:

The Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus said Democrats got walloped in the midterm elections because white Southern voters are racists.
“We lost because of ideological differences within the Democratic Party and with our Administration. We lost because our party has, to some extent, lost white Southerners due in part to the race of our President,” Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) said, according to theCleveland Plain Dealer.
Fudge’s remarks echo those of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), the Democrat who is in a runoff with Republican Bill Cassidy in Louisiana. Landrieu blamed racism for Obama’s low approval ratings when asked why President Obama has “a hard time in Louisiana.”

Rasmussen: Eighty-seven percent of black voters believe those who oppose Obama’s policies do so because of racism

Eighty-seven percent of black voters are obsessed with race.

Via Rasmussen:

…When it comes to the specifics of the president, however, a racial divide is evident. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of black voters believe those who oppose Obama’s policies do so because of racism. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of whites and 56% of other minority voters think instead that opposition is primarily because they believe the president’s policies are bad.
Among all voters, 59% think people who oppose Obama’s policies do so because they don’t like those policies. Thirty-one percent (31%) believe their opposition is due to racism, but that’s up from 28% in mid-July and up 13 points from 18% in October 2011.

Retreat: Illinois demo Gov. Walks back tweet of story comparing black Republicans to Jewish Nazi collaborators...

You know this is how democrats really feel. They just don't have the balls to own it.  

Illinois Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn says that his campaign did not actually read a controversial article comparing black Republicans to Jewish Nazi collaborators before tweeting it several times to the public.
Quinn has been under heavy fire from the Jewish and black communities since the Washington Free Beacon first reported that his campaign had tweeted—and then quietly deleted—several messages urging backers to read a Chicago Sun Times article that compared conservative black voters to Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.
Quinn—who would not address the controversy during a Holocaust memorial event yesterday evening—had his campaign issue a statement claiming that nobody on staff “thoroughly” read the article before tweeting it out several times.
“We retweeted a local publication’s news story on Twitter last week before thoroughly reading it and didn’t realize there was an inaccurate and offensive sentence in the story,” the Quinn campaign said. “When it was brought to our attention, we immediately deleted the tweet.”

During a press conference on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., to announce a signature campaign to impeach U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Bill Owens said President Barack Obama has “hurt the American people.”
“We’re on a downward road,” Owens, who is founder and president of the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), said at the event at the National Press Club. “And this president has done more to hurt the American people than any president, as I see it, in my lifetime and in history.”

Congressional Black Caucus Chair: Republicans Are “Evil and Mean” (Video)

Some of that new civility Obama brought to Washington...



The Cleveland Plains Dealer reported:

Congressional Black Caucus chair Marcia Fudge had harsh words on Thursday night for GOP colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee who she says “literally do not believe there is poverty in this country.”
In a George Washington University panel discussion on poverty hosted by PBS’s Tavis Smiley, Fudge expressed her disappointment with colleagues who voted to cut food stamps by $16.5 billion over the next 10 years.
“These same people believe if you do not work, you are lazy,” Fudge told the symposium, which was aired on C-SPAN. “These same people believe that if your children don’t get a good education, something is wrong with you. These are the craziest people I have seen in my life. Just absolute nuts. They don’t understand that the government’s job is to take care of its people.”
The Warrensville Heights Democrat, who just started a two-year term as chair of the Black Caucus, said that if such people continue to get elected to Congress, “we are never going anywhere as a country.”
“Because we deal with nuts, every single day,” said Fudge. “These people are evil and mean. They care nothing about anybody but themselves. And so, if you think you are going to have anything bipartisan, you need to think again. It is not happening.”

Obama Uses Black History Month to Launch 2012 African Americans for Obama

Isn't asking someone to support you because of your race racist?

Via Politico:

The Obama campaign has launched an outreach effort to court black voters with a web video from President Obama.

“I don’t think there’s a better time than African-American history month to consider the tremendous progress that we’ve made through the sacrifices of so many, or a better time to commit to meeting the very real challenges we face right now,” Obama says in the video.

Radio Host to Black Republican: "get your stupid, ignorant a$$ up out of my studio."

The intolerance in America is mainly on the left, not the right. This is the most shameful treatment of a candidate of any race that I have ever seen.

Via Breitbart TV:

Memphis talk radio host Thaddeus Matthews insulted and humiliated Republican congressional candidate Charlotte Bergmann during a recent interview. He ended the interview by saying, "get your stupid, ignorant ass up out of my studio." As Bergmann was leaving the studio she extended her hand to the host and Matthews refused to shake hands because he didn't want the "whiteness" to "rub off" on him.

Note: The video of the incident was clearly made by someone who doesn't favor Republicans or members of the Tea Party.

Tingles: White Voters are Holding Obama to a Higher Standard or Something

Chris Matthews' claim that white voters will hold President Obama to a higher standard in 2012 because he is black is ridiculous. He is just trying to make you feel guilty that you might be a closet racist. You aren't. A white candidate with Obama's background and experience could have never been elected in 2008 and if one somehow had of been elected, they would be undergoing impeachment proceedings now. In many ways, President Obama is a novelty President. Now that Americans have mostly gotten that out of their system, let's elect a qualified leader in 2012.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Professor Peterson, let me ask you about white votes.
Do you have a sense as you’ve looked at politics in America that there are some white voters who will vote for an African-American say once? And they will hold that person to a very rigorous standard. Perhaps a much higher standard than they would a white politician.
And they’ll give them one shot and then they’ll dump them the next time.
I look at this, I look at the Ed Brooke. I look at the senator from Illinois. I think about this–

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON: Carol Moseley Braun

MATTHEWS: Yeah, Carol Moseley Braun. I wonder if this is a phenomenon you professors have looked at analytically at all, this sense of, okay, you’ve got your shot, but let’s see you do it, if it isn’t really, really good, you know, you’re out of there.

Is 2010 the Year of the Black Republican?

There has been much talk about the rise of Conservative female candidates in the Republican Party. This resurgence of the Republican woman has been an outgrowth of the Tea Party and the example and leadership provided by Sarah Palin. Much less has been noted about the many fine black candidates that have been produced by the GOP this year.

Christian Science Monitor reported:

In June, a Charleston businessman named Tim Scott won the Republican nomination for South Carolina’s First Congressional District, defeating Paul Thurmond, the son of state political legend Strom Thurmond, with nearly 70 percent of the primary vote.

And Tim Scott is black.

Even more surprising, Mr. Scott’s platform is a repudiation of Barack Obama’s agenda. He promises to support a repeal of the health-care law, simplify the tax code, and cut federal spending. Overall, the GOP has fielded more than 30 African-American candidates for federal office, including Ryan Frazier in Colorado’s Seventh Congressional District and Vernon Parker in Arizona’s Third Congressional District.

Tim Scott Poised to Become 1st Black GOP Congressman Since 2003

Black Republican Tim Scott has won the South Carolina GOP primary after defeating Paul Thurmond, the son of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, in a primary run-off. Scott's congressional district is heavily Republican and he is expected to win easily this fall. Tim Scott had the endorsement of Sarah Palin.

AP reported:

Tim Scott beat Paul Thurmond, the son of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, in a GOP runoff Tuesday in the state’s coastal 1st District.

Scott is now a heavy favorite in a district that has elected a Republican congressman for three decades. He is poised to become the nation’s first black GOP congressman since 2003 when Oklahoma’s J.C. Watts retired.

The 44-year-old Scott was the first black Republican in the South Carolina legislature in more than a century when elected in 2008. Before that, he served 13 years on Charleston County Council.

Jesse Jackson: "You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man"

Jesse Jackson is a big believer in diversity, except when it comes to political opinions. According to Jackson, you can't be both black and a conservative.

The Hill reported:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.

“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”
