He is seeing the Golden child and his minions unravel. He is the crazy one.

Thanks for posting - for entertainment purposes if no other.

As for his assessment of what troubles white folk, I simply couldn't care less what a writer for Village Voice and NPR thinks about anything.

The Village Voice was never very sound of mind, but I'm sorry to report that it's been suffering from a previously undocumented syndrome of AIDS dementia brought on by Marxist glue-sniffing in a case that continues to astonish medical science.

Sarah Palin then rushed to [Dr. Laura] Schlessinger's side, Tweeting in her inimitable style, "Don't retreat . . . reload!" Palin, we can only assume, wanted Schlessinger to utter "n!**er" as often as she wanted.

Just... wow.

And the "it" that wrote that gets a paycheck?

You know, what is more frightening is there are a lot of people that pay money on a regular basis to read it.

They also believe it to be correct!

Mass delusions, I suppose.

RE: "Carry Me Back to Ol' Virginny" ---

[ the following text is from www.virginiastatesong.com ] -

"James Bland was born in 1854. He was a Black entertainer and composer, born in Flushing, New York.

He was one of the best-known Black composers for the theatrical entertainment called the minstrel show.

Bland was educated in Washington, D. C., where he graduated from Howard University in 1873. He went on to become a performer in minstrel shows, achieving his greatest success in Britain between 1882 and 1901.

James Bland composed more than 700 songs, mostly for minstrel shows, among them "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," chosen in 1940 as the state song of Virginia, "In the Evening by the Moonlight," and "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers." He spent the latter years of his life in poverty and obscurity, and died in 1911 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.*"

Wonder if Steven Thrasher belonged to Journolist as well as NPR and Village Voice.

Don't worry, Steven, I'd whisper: Christine O'Donnell is down 15 percent in Delaware.

That margin was down to 11 last I saw. 4% change in about a week.

Bill Maher went on Larry King in a subsequent week and used the n-word in a manufactured quote to smear the mindset of all tea partiers.

He was not taken to task.

I'm not a Laura Schelssinger fan but from what I gather, she was just denouncing the use of the word that is "acceptable" by some segments of America and was willing to use the word she was denouncing rather than using a euphemism for the pejorative.

Then again doesn't Bill Maher have a Time-Life-Warner-Turner-CNN program on HBO? So sister network CNN isn't going to be the one to take him down?

In my very blue state of WA, Patty Murray...the dumbest person in the Senate, is up by 1%, which is within the margin of error. She has been running nothing but attack ads in state...obviously, her handlers figured out that her record wasn’t anything to run on.

Zip Coon, etc. ... I see they’ve found a new outlet for their own racist comments. Put it in the mouths of conservatives who did NOT issue it. Use quote marks whenever possible to maximize the number of readers misled.

LA Weekly (another Voice Media publication) ran this racist caricature of Condi Rice.

They are an ugly lot of liberals who savage those they seek to demonize.

Racist? You bet they are. Identity politics only matter when you AGREE with them.

They got rid of Hentoff and kept this. That will tell you all you need to know about the Voice.

So he got our tax money to tell “stories” about “the common man”?

the insanity of white America,

The libtards are trying to create a new anti-concept. The real meaning of insane is the state of being out of touch with reality. But the new alleged meaning the libtards are trying to create is: insanity = nonconformity with libtard thought.With this new alleged meaning, libtards are able to use the new anti-concept to smear and demonize anyone who doesn't agree with them, as being insane.

But it is white America who are the sane ones because they are the ones who are in touch with reality. Libtards are so out of touch with reality that they have delusions of grandeur and think that their thought is the standard of truth, sanity, and moral value, while it is actually irrational because it is based on emotionalism, and false and unsound philosophy and economics.
