Mother Jones has become racist in her senility - says African-Americans are more likely to be murderers, rapists and pedophiles

The far left magazine Mother Jones has succumbed to racist tropes.

A report in Mother Jones that began  with the sentences:

On Wednesday the Senate agriculture committee approved a GOP proposal that would amend the farm bill the Senate is considering to ban “convicted murderers, rapists, and pedophiles” from getting food stamps. On its surface, the idea sounds unobjectionable, but the measure would have “strongly racially discriminatory effects,” according to the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).

has been leaped upon by online conservatives noting that Mother Jones's report postulates African-Americans are more likely to be murderers, rapists and pedophiles.

No it would discriminate against criminals MT @motherjones: GOP food stamps proposal would discriminate against black ppl

Obama having a hissy fit over Hagel filibuster

Obama whined during an Internet broadcast about the Republican filibuster aimed at delaying the Senate confirmation vote on the inept buffoon he nominated for Defense Secretary.

What happened to Chuck Hagel was the exact opposite of unprecedented. It was typical Washington. Liberals did it to Defense nominee John Tower. Then in a moment of pure poetic justice, the second nominee, easily confirmed, was Dick Cheney. Liberals brought "Borking" into the lexicon a quarter of a century ago. Unlike Hagel, Judge Robert Bork was actually qualified for the job he wanted. Liberals trying to claim that the situations are not 100 percent analogous are trying to split the hairs on Charlie Brown's head. A President who likes to nominate unqualified people to virtually every major government position is doing so again. The precedent is the last four years. It is typical.

Obama's nominee for Secretary of Defense ducks questions about taking money from terroist support group.

On Thursday, Senate sources told Breitbart News exclusively that they have been informed that one of the reasons that President Barack Obama’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, has not turned over requested documents on his sources of foreign funding is that one of the names listed is a group purportedly called “Friends of Hamas.”

Yesterday, 25 senators sent a letter to Hagel demanding information on his foreign funding. Hagel has refused all such requests, prompting the senators to state, “in the judgment of the undersigned, a Committee vote on your nomination should not occur unless and until you provide the requested information.”

Obama's Secretary of Defense Nominee Hagel cracking under Senate pressure

Inhofe, like other senators, zeroed in on Hagel's vote as a senator against labelling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organisation and imposing sanctions against it.

Hagel said he was one of 22 senators who took the same position.

He was against the move because the US has "never, ever designated a part of a legitimate government, a state" as a terrorist organisation.

Hagel said the vote would have permitted the US to use force against Iran and America was already in two wars at the time. He noted that John Kerry, the new secretary of state, Joe Biden, now the vice-president, also voted against the measure in the Senate.

Hagel was pressed about his opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran a decade ago, and said that was a different time. He said he regards Iran a state sponsor of terrorism.

Inhofe asked Hagel: "Why do you think the Iranian foreign ministry so strongly supports your nomination for secretary of defense?".

Exasperated, Hagel responded that he had no idea. "I have a difficult time enough with American politics," he said.

Several senators picked up on Hagel's statement in an interview for a book that the "Jewish lobby" intimidates many members of Congress. Hagel later apologised for using "Jewish lobby", saying he should have referred to "pro-Israel lobby".

Senator Roger Wicker pressed Hagel. "Do you stand by your statement they succeed in this town because of intimidation?" he said.

Hagel said he should have described it as influence not intimidation.

Senator Lindsey Graham picked up on the issue when he demanded that Hagel name any senator who has been "intimidated by the Israeli lobby" and identify a "dumb thing" Congress has been pressured to do by groups supportive of Israel. "I can't give you an example," said Hagel.

Hilarious ad from the director of Airplane! spoofing Senator "don't call me ma'am" Barbara Boxer

This could be the funniest political ad ever!

From The Hill:
The spoof is below:

"A well-known Hollywood producer and director has cut an ad against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) riffing on when the senator chided an Army brigadier general last year for calling her "ma'am."

David Zucker, the director of the 1980 comedy classic "Airplane!" who has worked on myriad films including the "Naked Gun" and "Scary Movie" franchises, directed the "Call Me Senator" spot for Right Change, a 527 and 501(c)4 organization "committed to supporting policies and candidates dedicated to fiscal responsibility and a strong national security for the United States, while upholding the principles of freedom, competitiveness and entrepreneurial spirit of the American people."

Christine O'Donnell is me!

Or so she tells us in her new ad.





Okay, she's me in that we both hate taxes. But Christine O'Donnell,  the Republican Party nominee in Delaware's 2010 U.S. Senate special election, does dabble in witchcraft and doesn't believe in pre-marital sex, so in those regards, she's the opposite of me.

Delaware Senate Candidate Coons tied to Communist Party and supporters of terror groups

Talk about an inconvenient truth.


After all the furor over alleged racist signs or words at Tea Party rallies, the media is ignoring the shocking fact that 12 of the 25 groups endorsing Delaware Democrat Chris Coons for the United States Senate over Republican Christine O'Donnell have turned up on the quite official list of the "One Nation Working Together" rally -- as formal co-sponsors with supporters of the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas. And, no kidding, the Communist Party.
