You may have never thought you could get this political insight from a sports commentator, but former NBA Detroit Pistons star-turned-host of "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" on Fox Sports Network John Salley has defied expectations. Salley recently appeared on September 23 edition of "The Adam Carolla" podcast and asked Carolla a very pointed and insightful question. "I have a question - do you hate Obama?" Salley asked. "Why are so many people who now hate him after just 266 days they loved him? All of white America. Not all of ‘em but the majority."

Don't know what to say anymore

"LAMB: At one point you had a line in there, something to the effect, "My mother despised white people." GATES: My mother hated white people. LAMB: All her life? GATES: Probably. I didn't know until -- in 1959 we were watching Mike Wallace's documentary called "The Hate that Hate Produced." It was about the Nation of Islam and I couldn't believe -- I mean, Malcolm X was talking about the white man was the devil and standing up in white people's faces and telling them off. It was great...And she loved Malcolm X and she loved what the Muslims were...

"Every white man knows his time is up," snapped the frail-looking Negro in the embroidered pillbox to 5,500 Negroes packed into Manhattan's St. Nicholas Arena one hot afternoon last week. "I am here to teach you how to be free. Yes, free from the white man's yoke. We want unity of all darker peoples on the earth. Then we will be masters of the United States, and we are going to treat the white man the way he should be treated." Roared the crowd: "That's right! More! More!" For more than two hours, as shouts and applause rose in regular...

Facefwd.com <> The charges stemmed from an incident at a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day when three members of the party were accused of trying to threaten voters and block poll and campaign workers by the threat of force - one even brandishing what prosecutors call a deadly weapon. The three black panthers, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were charged in a civil complaint in the last days of the Bush administration with violating the voter rights act by using coercion, threats and intimidation. Shabazz allegedly held a nightstick or baton that prosecutors said...

In life, the playwright August Wilson had an all-but-official rule: No white directors for major productions of his work, which was one reason that a film was never made from his 10 plays about African-American life in the 20th century. “Fences,” one of the two awarded the Pulitzer Prize, foundered in Hollywood because of his insistence on a black director. Yet in the years since Wilson died in 2005, an increasing number of white directors have staged his plays, and last week came a milestone: “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” which opened on April 16, is the first Broadway revival...

This is a reply to an article made by a leftist named Cynthia The article blasts tradition of all kinds as racist. Here's my response... I got done reading an article of yours in which you claim you do not mourn the loss of America's traditional values. You then use the liberal tactic of blasting those such as Ms Fields as racist supporters of Jim Crow and lynching. Typical and disgusting. You might mourn the loss of yester year but with the exception of racism, I do as do most people I know. 50 years ago if you wanted to...

ATLANTA (AP) — Two dozen black lawmakers angrily stalked out of the Georgia House on Friday amid claims a decision by white Republican leaders to delay passage of a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones. House Speaker Glenn Richardson said the proposal to make Obama an honorary member of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus required some changes to its language and sent it to a committee. Supporters, including black lawmakers, claimed the move was a snub to the nation's first black president. "It drips with racism," said state Rep. Al Williams, a Democrat. "I call it just like...

The Associated Press noticed liberal Rev. Joseph Lowery's prayer raised eyebrows when he prayed for that day in the hazy future when "white will embrace what is right." That divisive note drew this headline: "Lowery gives sole inaugural note of racial caution."

Shep Smith: What do you really know about Barack Obama ?

In remarks made on the campaign trail yesterday, according to Senator Obama, his redistributive tax policies are based upon a belief that, "That is how we have always grown the economy, from the bottom up". The problem that I have, however, is simple: History just doesn't support that statement. So my challenge today is simple: Name me ...

A frighteningly naive Obama talking about large growth stock, diversifying portfolios etc. In these troubled times do you really want to trust a community organizer who doesnt know economics 101 with the largest most complicated economy in the world. Video by NakedEmperorNews

If the Los Angeles Times had a video of John McCain toasting a supporter of the old South African apartheid government, does anyone think they wouldn't release it without hesitation? However, because the Times has a video of Barack Obama toasting former PLO operative, Rashid Khalidi, at an Israel-bashing party that also included terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, they are now coming up with all sorts of absurd legalistic reasons as to why they can't release the video. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has posted the messages between a reader and the a Los Angeles Times representative about...

Obama: Constitution is 'Deeply Flawed' Monday, October 27, 2008 8:20 PM By: David A. Patten Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama described the U.S. Constitution as having “deep flaws” during a September 2001 Chicago public radio program, adding that the country’s Founding Fathers had “an enormous blind spot” when they wrote it. Obama also remarked that the Constitution “reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.” Obama’s statements came during a panel discussion that aired on Chicago’s WBEZ-FM on Sept. 6, 2001, titled “Slavery and the Constitution.” ...

(CNN) – Presidential candidates are sold in much the same way a new product is: with an expensive, flashy, and ubiquitous television campaign. And according to advertising figures provided by Campaign Media Analysis Group, CNN's consultant on ad spending, Barack Obama's campaign has spent more money selling its candidate on television than most major brand name companies do selling their products. The Illinois senator's campaign is projected to have spent $250 million on ads in the last four months — a number that is equivalent to $750 million in a full year. Only AT&T, with a yearly advertising budget of...

Wikipedia: "The term Bradley effect... refers to a frequently observed discrepancy between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in American political campaigns when a white candidate and a non-white candidate run against each other. Named for Tom Bradley, an African-American who lost the 1982 California governor's race despite being ahead in voter polls, the Bradley effect refers to a tendency on the part of white voters to tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a Black candidate, when, on election day, they vote for his/her white opponent. "One theory for the Bradley effect is that some...

Just when you think the Obama campaign can't get any dirtier, it does. This is breaking this morning. David Axelrod, Obama's Rove, hired a PR company to produce videos for YOUTUBE from so called "grassroots" groups. Everything about the so called grassroots campaign was phony including the comments. The video went up and was rapidly taken down when it was discovered by savvy white knights (my words) tracking the Obama campaign's every move.

Well, so much for that 50 state strategy. The Obama camp surrendered 4 states to McCain-Palin today. And, you know what that means? It's time to play the racism card! Andrew Malcolm at the Top of the Ticket ties this decision by the Obama Campaign to close election offices in North Dakota, Alaska, Idaho and Georgia to a poll on Democratic racism that was released this weekend: Exactly 44 years after Lyndon B. Johnson became the last Democrat to capture the state of North Dakota in a presidential election, it looks like Barack Obama won't be the next. The Associated...

John McCain is portraying Barack Obama as the product of Chicago's corrupt political machine in a new TV ad that showcases Illinois' scandalous side. In the 30-second ad, voters are introduced to Gov. Rod Blagojevich's "legacy of state and federal investigations," Senate President Emil Jones Jr.'s "ethical cloud," William Daley as a "lobbyist" and "money man" Tony Rezko as an Obama's "patron" turned "convicted felon." Rezko was a major force in the early days of Obama's career and he helped him buy his Hyde Park mansion a few years ago. Rezko was convicted this year as the architect of a...

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) sought to assure gun-owners in the key battleground state of Virginia over the weekend about his running mate's stance on the Second Amendment. "I guarantee you Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey," Biden is quoted by ABC as saying during the United Mine Workers of America annual fish fry. "Don't buy that malarkey. They're going to start peddling that to you." "If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem. I like that little over and under, you know? I'm not bad with it....

Politico.com has a .pdf copy of Michelle Robinson Obama’s thesis in sociology. [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html] The content is entirely consistent with Barack Obama’s Black identity politics, if not outright Black Nationalist politics, as described in Dreams From My Father, as well as Michelle Obama’s statement that she is proud of our country only when her husband, who can’t be bothered to show respect for our National Anthem, is running for President. It is no surprise that efforts were made to conceal this thesis from the public until after the election. Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind...

April 27, 2008 "In comparing African-American children and European-American children, we were comparing apples and rocks." "Different is not deficient." It would seem there is a profound difference between the black brain and other brains after all. At least according to Reverend Wright. According to this shining exemplar of Barack Obama and the deep scholarship of black liberation theology, black people are right-brained and white people are left-brained. Asian people don't make the discussion since that would be, well, unfortunate. If you're like me you've probably been wandering about the world babbling something about racial equality in America that affirms,...

This is an absolutely blatant attempt to rewrite history by Barack Obama, documented at ABC News Political Punch. First, I honestly don’t care much whether a person wears a flag pin, and you can certainly be a patriot without wearing a badge proclaiming it. The issue for me: Obama’s reasons for taking off that pin. Barack Obama on his refusal to wear a flag pin, now: Obama’s two radically different versions of his reasons for not wearing the pin are there for you to read. Here’s our post about it at the time. You decide who’s telling the truth.

South Carolina Democratic Rep. James Clyburn warned today that if the heated Clinton-Obama contest continues on its present course it could have dire consequences for African American support of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, should she win the Democratic nomination, and on African American faith in the Democratic Party even if she does not. "I may not know a lot about what drives some voters, but I know a little bit about African American voters," he said, in an interview with The Trail. "And if they feel as if they're being used, they'll stay away. They just won't engage in the...

A recent influx of black residents in Metro Councilwoman Martha Jane Tassin’s district could complicate her re-election bid this fall. When Tassin — a white Republican — was re-elected in 2004, black voters outnumbered white voters by about 500. Today, voter registration records show that there are some 3,530 more black voters than white voters in District 6. Some black leaders such as Councilman Ulysses “Bones” Addison are already targeting Tassin, claiming her district should be represented by an African-American. “It’s nothing personal against Mrs. Tassin, she’s a fine lady. But that seat should be held by a person of...

Sen. Barack Obama called into sports radio 610 WIP this morning, charming the usually rambuctious morning talk show hosts and winning their endorsements. "People are really swept up [by this candidate]," said host Al Morganti. "It's almost like teenaged girls at a concert. It's goofy" Before Obama's interview even began at 8 a.m., jocks Angelo Cataldi and Morganti greeted the Democratic presidential hopeful with a scatted, and offkey, rendition of "Hail to the Chief." Obama's five-minute appearance didn't even touch on sports. The hosts, both entralled by the candidate's charisma, addressed him as if he were a rock star. It...

Before Barack Obama took to the podium yesterday, I was pretty angry at how slimy the presidential campaign had become. And my plan was to write a screed about those whites who want Obama to "transcend race" while they get to hold on to their racist ways. In the latest episode, inflammatory snippets of sermons by Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, had been fashioned into a political bombshell by Obama's opponents. Right-wing TV commentators then detonated it with ignorant vitriol, including an insinuation by Pat Buchanan that Wright was...

CHICAGO — Barack Obama's controversial pastor and the church he's served for 36 years may be in hot water over statements he has made from the pulpit in support of the Illinois senator's run for the White House. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. preaches that he follows the righteous path, but when it comes to the federal tax law, his Trinity United Church of Christ may have crossed the line. snip During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama's upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans. "Barack knows what it means living in a country and a...

Eighteen months after her tumultuous tenure in Trenton ended, former Secretary of State Regena Thomas is the centerpiece of a whistle-blower lawsuit that accuses her of ordering subordinates to consider only African-Americans for jobs, grants and loans at a college loan program. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Trenton by the former head of the state's higher-education loan program, charges Thomas and other top officials in former Gov. James E. McGreevey's administration with racial discrimination, misuse of federal funds and retaliating against an official who blew the whistle.

There has been some recent controversy about Barack Obama's religious background. Mr. Obama has recently issued statements through his spokesmen in the media (i.e., reporters) which express his shock at being questioned about such things. Most of his media spokesmen (i.e., reporters) have then gone on to cite his membership in Chicago's Trinity United Church Of Christ parish as proof that he is just a regular run of the mill American Christian.But a visit to the Trinity Church's website proves that it is not your everyday Christian parish: Trinity United Church of ChristAbout UsWe are a congregation which is Unashamedly...

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sen. Barack Obama sparked an early frenzy Sunday during his initial visit to the nation's first presidential primary state, but said he still hasn't decided whether to run despite large crowds that he said have shown his "15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer." The Illinois senator said he is still "running things through the traps" as he considers whether to join a field of Democrats that's expected to include front-runner Sen. Hillary Clinton and several other more experienced political hands. "This is an office you can't run for just on the basis of ambition,"...

When Sen. Barack Obama slipped into Sen. Robert Byrd's Capitol office one day last year, he was seeking counsel from an elder who had been in the Senate since before Obama was born. Senators these days, Byrd cautioned the young Illinois Democrat, become fixated on the White House. "I remember the advice," Obama said matter-of-factly in an interview with The Associated Press last week. "The importance of senators staying in the Senate." Obama has been in the Senate less than two years. Now he is thinking of running for president. Presumptuous? "In a country of 300 million people," he said...

A 22-year-old Merritt Island man accused of stealing an elderly couple's car was captured Saturday after authorities used the vehicle's On Star emergency system to track him down, according to Local 6 News.

The pair, who are in their 80s, were pumping gas when Williams allegedly approached the couple with a gun and demanded the car. The report said after the vehicle was stolen, the pair called police. The couple's 2006 Chevy Impala, which was equipped with the OnStar system, helped police quickly locate the car...

LOS ANGELES A Korean grocers' group sued former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young for libel for claiming that they and other market owners "ripped off" blacks. The suit, filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, also names the Wal-Mart store chain and seeks at least $7.5 million in damages. The former Atlanta mayor resigned as head of a Wal-Mart advocacy group on Aug. 18 amid controversy over comments he made to the weekly, black-owned Los Angeles Sentinel. In an interview, Young said that Wal-Mart competition had forced smaller, "mom-and-pop" stores out of his neighborhood. "But you see, those are...

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney, in her first public appearance since losing her re-election bid last week, said Tuesday that the black community needs to oppose electronic voting machines, which she warned can be used to steal elections. McKinney also said the state of Georgia should prohibit crossover voting among political parties in primary elections and end its system of runoff elections.

In the 2002 mayoral fight for Newark, N.J., Cory Booker, a Rhodes Scholar, lost to five-term Mayor Sharpe James. In 2006, the 37-year-old Booker became mayor of New Jersey's largest city, also the headquarters of DiversityInc. Although Booker and James both are black Democrats, the James campaign four years ago called Booker everything from Uncle Tom, to a "white boy" who needed to learn how to be black. "I was called many things, it was a baptism by fire, a lot had to do with race, sexual orientation. Power concedes nothing without force," says Booker in an NPR interview with...

Bamboozled Obama's big black lie By Kevin McCullough Sunday, July 23, 2006 Senator Barack Obama misled African-Americans gathered for this week’s NAACP convention. He told a fib. He purposefully knew the truth yet decided for the gain of the political moment decided to lead astray the minds of those in attendance. What's scary is - he's so masterful at it. The junior Senator from Illinois has achieved relative "rock star" status since his charismatic presentation at the Democratic convention in 2004. I have been predicting for three years now that Obama will most likely be part of the presidential ticket...

U.S. Rep Jesse L. Jackson Jr. recently unraveled the "mystery of Jamalli" and with it brought into the open the festering sore beneath the Peotone airport controversy. In addition to this Jamalli nonsense (racially suggestive e-mails generated from his personal e-mail account), Mayor Mike Einhorn of Crete has sparred recently with Mayor Dwight Welch of Country Club hills over Welch's assessment that opposition to the ALNAC airport plan was steeped in racism.
