It kills him even more when the white folks he shucks and jives for prefer Obama.
That other dude was on point; especially with telling Williams to go back on the porch.
Warren Ballentine did what so many other AA men on TV are afraid to do. He called out an AA who would sell out their race for acceptance in the white community. Juan Williams does his jig for Oreily whenever Billo calls. disgusting!
All AA traitors need to be called out as such. I am tired of seeing AA men on TV shuckin, buckin, duckin, jiven, jiggin and lyin.
Where is the Uncle Tom that was on Sean Hannity's program? Laughing at Obama losing the Chicago Olympics.

When I read this article all I could think of was "$350 ain't worth your soul" ala' Common.
uh huh
Good lord,
David Gergen just shut this GOP strategist down with a sharp knife ya'll.
The repub was going on and on about how it's a shame that the feds are "paying" people throught organization like Americorps and such to "volunteer" thereby drawing away "volunteers" from local and state orgs. David Gergen asked to respond to that and asked the strategist
"Terry, how do you feel about the all VOLUNTEER ARMED FORCES, where the gov't pays people who VOLUNTEER to defend the country?"
The rethug just stuttered!!!
Too bad!
Girllllllll I nearly spit out my tropical punch!
Beautiful.
looked shooked for a sec... Did he just tell me that?

Jesus Christ help this man be able to look in the mirror daily
"used a string of crude and racist epithets in additionally calling for the murders of Michelle Obama and the couple's two children "in front of" the president."
Very sick.
Speaking of Harlem, has anyone seen those ShineALight Ads on MSNBC? They feature Harlem and that lady from Law&Order.
You'd think that campaign was targeted toward AAs based on the ad, but none of the finalists for the $100,000 prize are AA. Something is shady about it; smells of a sham.
Here's my take on what NBC has done.
Morever, if you listen to the voiceover, it's clear that they are targeting small businesses. Nothing was said about targeting AAs.

James Carville's polling outfit has compiled a report on the Teabagger base of the GOP:
"They believe Obama is ruthlessly advancing a 'secret agenda' to bankrupt the United States and dramatically expand government control to an extent nothing short of socialism," the analysis said." While these voters are disdainful of a Republican Party they view to have failed in its mission, they overwhelmingly view a successful Obama presidency as the destruction of this country's founding principles and are committed to seeing the president fail."
The analysis argues that Obama's unpopularity among conservative Republicans is both quantitatively and qualitatively different from liberal Democratic ire against George W. Bush -- that the GOP is more heavily conservative than the Democrats are heavily liberal, and that the hatred of Obama is more intense than Dem hatred of Bush was. All of this adds up to a powerful set of emotions that the Republican Party as a whole cannot ignore.
One thing that the firm makes clear, though, is that this is not about racism, but about ideology: "Instead of focusing on these intense ideological divisions, the press and elites continue to look for a racial element that drives these voters' beliefs - but they need to get over it. Conducted on the heels of Joe Wilson's incendiary comments at the president's joint session address, we gave these groups of older, white Republican base voters in Georgia full opportunity to bring race into their discussion - but it did not ever become a central element, and indeed, was almost beside the point."
The massive racism is incidental, you see. They just really, really, really hate Obama to the point of breaking from reality. BooMan plays out what this means for the Republicans in 2010:
The Republicans have unleashed a beast that they don't seem able to control. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Sunshine State, where Governor Charlie Crist's campaign for U.S. Senate is starting to look a little wobbly. But, it's also evident in Upstate New York, where a special election is coming up in the 23rd District for the House of Representatives. The Chairman of the NRSC, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, has wisely sought out candidates who fit their states in Illinois (Mark Kirk), Connecticut (Rob Simmons), Delaware (Mike Castle), New Hampshire (Kelly Ayotte), and Florida (Gov. Crist). But the base of the Republican Party is no match for these "moderates" and, other than Castle, none of them seem assured of winning their primaries. Cornyn certainly has failed to clear the field for them, which means any victory could be pyrrhic if it winds up consuming the entire bankroll and leaves nothing left over for the general election.
The Village keeps thinking that the Democrats will lose dozens of seats in the House next year. That is possible, but only if the Democrats don't pass their agenda...and even then, the reality is that the Teabaggers want to hijack the Republican party so far over to the right that 90% of the current denizens in the Republican side of the aisle would be tossed for ideological impurity.
It's actually about a lot more than race: it's about change, real actual honest to goodness change, and the people who have been beaten with the fear stick for the last 30 years have now broken the leash and are loose. The Republicans can't control them anymore, and this hurricane is liable to cost even more GOP incumbent lawmakers their seats than Democrats.
The GOP civil war is raging. The results will be that the Democrats are the biggest winners of all.
Serena's naked ESPN pics may cause her to lose her tennis title and some mula: While fans are loving the open stance of the tennis ace, the International Tennis Federation is not amused. The ITA is contemplating stripping the world No. 1 of her berth in the 2010 Australian Open. Further, she can be banned and fined $500,000.
World number one tennis champ Serena Williams could be stripped of her right to play in the Australian Open in 2010 for baring all for the sports magazine ESPN and for her extraordinary outburst in the US Open semi-finals.
Til then, they need to get used to seeing an attractive Black woman in racy photos, too.
nope. no way.
This is great Obama stuff.

I'm sure I missed it, but has anyone linked the interracial couple not being allowed to be married with the gay marriage fight?
BTW, before she passed, Mildred Loving gave her support for gays and lesbians to marry.
Did ya'll hear that college crowd in College Station, Texas when President Obama came on?
He is definitely not losing the young people

Share this on Twitter - Obama to GOP: "Grab a Mop." This is political gold (and we need to use it) Fri Oct 16, 2009 at 01:35:21 PM PDT
I'm sure that, like me, you can see it coming, from now through 2010.
You've banged your head against the wall hearing conservative pundits on TV complain about Obama's deficit spending as if he didn't inherit a $1.5 trillion deficit the day he took his new job, as if the vast majority of our national debt didn't accumulate under the presidencies of Reagan and W. Bush. You hear them blame Obama for job losses spurred by a financial crisis whose roots go back long before he even announced his candidacy. They even blamed him for the low Dow the day he was inaugurated, though of course with the Dow now hitting 10,000 those criticisms have long vanished.
You hear all this and it becomes clear: they want to pass their mess off as his. And the longer it takes him to clean it up, the more they think they'll be able to fool people into believing it.
NicolasC's diary :: :: Well, I personally believe a strong healthcare bill with a public option is going to pass by year's end or shortly thereafter (my money is on a state opt-out compromise; and my further money is on no state opting-out). I also think Obama's backloaded stimulus is going to spur some real growth in the coming months, so their strategy will be an epic fail, come 2010 and 2012.
But in the meantime, Obama's come up with political gold to counter any attempt to pass a Republican mess off as his own, or criticize him for not cleaning it up fast enough. And we need to repeat it ad infinitum and scream it from rooftops. This needs to become the political catchphrase of the next year.
Obama, October 15 at a DNC fundraiser in San Francisco:
What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. (Applause.)
Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy's busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. (Applause.) Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work.
Andrew Sullivan, over at the Daily Dish, knows gold when he sees it:
It's an inspired three-word challenge to the GOP. Devastating, actually - because it both reminds people of the damage the GOP did while not seeming to dwell on the past or to score partisan points (while actually doing both).
Now, understand here, I'm not trying to head off legitimate, substantive criticism of the president or his policies, be they from the left or the right. There's plenty of that and no three-word catch slogan could or should diminish those. But as a counter to the brain-dead, disingenuous, hypocritical, and often baseless criticism from the people whose messes he is cleaning, it doesn't get any better than this.
As one of Andrew Sullivan's readers put it:
If a Republican president had come up with this slogan, it would immediately have been put up as the main headline on Drudge (red font & siren optional), which inevitably leads to the main topic of conversation on conservative radio. Every damn Republican representative would be working every interview around those three words and the national narrative would be created ... unfortunately these are the Dems we're talking about, so the only people who will ever hear this are the ones politically interested enough to read blogs such as yours.
Sadly, (s)he's probably right. Unless we start hammering these words in now any time we see hypocritical and brain-dead talking points.
Republicans, you want to help this country? Then STFU and...GRAB A MOP!
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/16/79...)
That's cuz the slogan can easily apply to some Dems/progressives.
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Olympia
Way to go, Warren! He kept his promise! LMAO!!!!!!!!1
LOL.
I took it as an allusion to the saying "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch", and that's what I told 'em.
cough.
take your House NIGGA ASS BACK ON THE PORCH TO WAIT FOR MASSA TO LET YOU BACK IN THE HOUSE..

Personally, I wished that Warren told him to go back to holding that lantern on the lawn.
Most AAs KNOW what that means....LOL
But...porch monkey fits Juan to a Tee... just sayin'
New dress code for men of Morehouse
The young men of Morehouse College in Atlanta have gotten the word — no more baggy pants on campus.
Further, no sunglasses inside, no “do-rags” or hoods or high-heeled shoes, no jeans at major events, no lewd messages on clothing and nothing normally worn by women.
It’s all part of a new dress code at Morehouse, a historically African-American college, an effort to “get back to the legacy” of school leaders, Dr. William Bynum, vice president of the Office of Student Services told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“We expect our young men to be Renaissance men,” said Bynum. “When people go about campus we want them to represent the college in an appropriate manner.”
So far, the new code has earned mixed reviews.
I [along with other JJP FAM members] chimed in on the HU "EVENT!" :>)
On this one - - - a little ambivalent. Hmmmmm.
WHAT SAY YE'ALL?? :>)
Personally I'm glad they have implemented the dress code, and from what I've heard, most of the students are too.
After having one member of their community shoot another it is time to clean up their act. As long as there are more actions to improve the conduct of Morehouse students I am all for it. If this is just for show....
The original and your response R LOST! IN! SPACE!! SORRY! :>)
I appreciate your input!
Loved the prison yard culture. . :>) Nice imagery!! :>)
AGAIN, THANK U!! :>)
Officials Say A Mix Of Factors Are To Blame, As They Try To Help The Young Women
CHICAGO (CBS) ― It is a Chicago public school full of energy and spirit. It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common – something you might find disturbing.
CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports.
All those young ladies are moms or moms-to-be at Paul Robeson High School. It's not a school for young mothers, it's a neighborhood school. And all of the pregnancies have happened, despite prevention talk.
If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there's no simple explanation.

Fox is finding more house negroes to come out loving Rush Limbaugh.
THANK U VERY MUCH 4 your response on the "MOREHOUSE MATTER." :>)
My post & the REPLIES got - - LOST! IN! SPACE!! SORRY!!:>)
I wondered what the - -REAL DEAL was from the STUDENTS. The article was FUZZY!! :>)
Sooooo, THANK U!! :>)
Ima CO-SIGN at this point!! :>)
He must still be pissed off that he got sacked by WaPo for sexually harassing all those white women he used to work with.
Can't get mad at your employer for UPHOLDING THE LAW.
So, Juan schills on Fake Noise and got bitch slapped by Warren Ballentine.
But El Rushbo has a lot of House Negroes on his payroll so look for them to climb out from under their rocks on this one.
Amazing what a brotha will do for a dollar. Give them hell Warren! Did you all catch the part when he said in response to juan, "Real African Americans." Priceless.
My sister told me about Warren during the primaries, but unfortunately I can't get him in NC. Seems like he is all that she said.
Partial listing because the entire list requires too much space.

* "We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whichever, because his father was black, because this is the first black president."
* "In Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'right on, right on, right on.'"

Juan Williams is just another despicable excuse for a black man.
