Krauthammer nails the quote of the week:

Second, if the electorate was sending an unconflicted message about withdrawal, how did the most uncompromising supporter of the war, Sen. Joe Lieberman, win handily in one of the most liberal states in the country?

And he got the second place quote, too:

{{{John McCain has had no illusions about the difficulty of this war. Nor does he now. In his bold and courageous speech at the Virginia Military Institute defending the war effort, he described the improvements on the ground while acknowledging the enormous difficulties ahead. Insisting that success in Iraq is both possible and necessary, McCain made clear that he is willing to stake his presidential ambitions, indeed his entire political career, on a war policy that is unpopular but that he believes must be pursued for the sake of the country. How many other presidential candidates — beginning with, say, Hillary Clinton — do you think are acting in the same spirit?}}}

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.

The Urinal finally figured out how to get Queen Pinko to work two days a week!:

{{{I’ve grown accustomed to an undercurrent in public policy debates that blames black women for an array of social and cultural failures. Without making distinctions, that racist sentiment casts us all as lazy and drug-addled welfare queens, thoughtless breeders of criminals and unwed heathens who are sacking the sacred institution of marriage.}}}

Give her the opportunity to race bait, she’ll do the rest.

Why is it, I wonder, that when a democrat gets busted for discrimination it’s a “reflection on society” but when a Conservative does it it’s because of white men and the church?

{{{Prosecutor apologizes in Duke case, 3 players undecided on civil suit-Urinal}}}

It’s not the “white boys were innocent or the “girl falsely accused them” or even “Nifong was a rogue prosecuter,” no, it’s that meaningless apology that makes the pinko® world go round, the givers of universal forgiveness unless, of course, you are a Republican that apologizes.

3rd runner up for quote of the week:

It is a combination of ratings envy and genuine puzzlement. This duo seems to drive all of Keith’s public confrontations and feuds. His frequent attempts to attract the attention of Bill O’Reilly are lame enough, but O’Reilly only has about 10 times Olbermann’s audience. Rush has about a hundred times the audience of Countdown’s party faithful. “How can that be,” Keith must ask himself, “when I’m so good and he’s so bad?” The fault, dear Keith, is not in their stars (or stats), but in yourself. It goes under the heading good humor, though a few hundred years ago it was called “virtu.”. Rush has it. Imus lost his at a crucial moment. You, at least every time I have seen you, have never had it. Not for a day. Not for a moment. It is what limits your audience to the angry and the envious….. why Brit Hume and his merry “Fox news all stars all” continue to dominate: They are generally and genuinely happy people. Their teeth do not grind at night. They are not consumed with paybacks and venom venting. They would no more particularize their political agenda into the comparison of a one of the country’s greatest legal minds to a Nazi mass murderer than they would abuse the Rutgers women basketball team. Sure, they play hardball –politics ain’t beanbag, as Mr. Dooley noted. (Look it up Keith, look it up.)

Well they did it. They bowed to pressure and fired Don Imus. What a boneheaded thing to do. What he said, while vile, racist, and insensitive to women, was not a firing offense. Suspension? Yes. A fine of some sort going to a women’s charity? Of course. But firing? If everyone who uttered a racist remark were fired we wouldn’t have Bill O’Reilly anymore.

When speaking about the immigration problem O’Reilly cut loose with this gem:

“We’d save lives because Mexican wetbacks, whatever you want to call them, the coyotes—they’re not going to do what they’re doing now, all right, so people aren’t going to die in the desert.”

and this one:

“O’Reilly criticized the Immigration and Naturalization Service for not doing its job and not keeping out ‘the wetbacks.’”

And two months later Bill O’Reilly was hosting a charity event for urban school children. An African-American singing group called “The Best Men” were schedule to perform, but were late. O’Reilly said to the audience:

“Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they’re not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps.”

Those remarks were every bit as bad as Imus’s. Where’s the outrage?

Blackadder @ 8:17 — you make some good points. I see this as a starting point for clearing out some of the hatemongers who’re still on the airwaves today. We should make sure they are being paid for by the revenues from their subscriptions to cable and satellite fees and not on the public airwaves anymore…

And we allow delayed taping of live shows in order to weed out any offensive language… maybe we should start delay taping the Oxycontin Limbaughs, etal, on the radiowaves.

It’s clear that the White House has been willfully violating the law, the only question now is to what extent? The ever changing excuses offered by the administration – that they didn’t want to violate the Hatch Act, that staff wasn’t clear on the law – are patently ridiculous. Very convenient that embarrassing – and potentially incriminating – emails have gone missing. It’s the Nixon White House all over again.

Look, all you crazy neocon’s. Clinton, Hilary, John Kerry, etc, etc, or who ever you try to throw the blame off to now! You know what? They’re NOT IN OFFICE! Stop trying find excuses and point fingers for this corrupt administration. You simply just don’t “lose” 5 MILLION emails. Unless you’re purposely trying to DELETE them. They have the obligation to save EVERY record from the president’s office. The only reason the Bush Administration would use a RNC email address and suddenly lose emails is if something fishy is going on, and it stinks an awful lot like fish. It’s really amazing that people stand and try to say that this type of behavior is ok, and try to brush it off on other individuals.

Why don’t you guys hold this administration to their so called “values”. Like, I dunno, HONESTY, and INTERGIRY!.

Oh, and btw, this whole Imus thing is a bunch of BS. There is such this HUGE hypocritical double standard in America. If Imus cannot say “ho” and “nappy hair” in the same sentence then neither can African American’s and Rap stars. It’s become strange that certain groups can lay claim and add value to particular words of their choosing. Al Sharpton should ask some of his people to step down from radio show’s, or tell his people to stop singing songs that promote the abuse of women. Because you know, 80% of rap albums sold in the US are sold to teenage white boys.

Yes, when will the piper be paid for this pinko®?:

{{{Impeccably liberal columnist Tom Oliphant had the misfortune to appear on Imus’ show after the “nappy-headed” comment and before it was clear that Imus was on his way to being expelled from polite company. Oliphant excused the Imus remark as something that “can happen to anybody,” and ended his appearance by saying that regular guests “have a moral obligation to stand up and say to you, ‘Solidarity forever, pal.’”}}}

“Solidarity forever” would mean unas-sing him from his job, I believe.

“It can happen to anybody.”

I’m always a bit troubled when it comes to the “we” as in “we should make sure” in getting people off the airwaves. I have a strong memory of my father, when I was in my formative high school years and had repeated something similar, saying “I don’t want anybody telling me what I can read, what I can see, what I can hear.” The pendulum swings both ways - the election rolls around then the judges become the judged.

Just one reason that the Repugs are sweating the ‘08 elections right now:

The largest, on Feb. 23 in Austin, Texas, drew an estimated 15,000 to 20,000. Organizers have estimated a crowd of 1,500 for a rally to be held in Tampa on Sunday. While rivals in both parties have raised money comparable to the $25 million Obama raised in this year’s first-quarter reporting period, none has drawn this kind of public response.

Which Repug candidate has drawn these same numbers, with almost a year to go before the primaries begin???

Goldie,

That’s a good, tough question. But the answer causes the knots that - who was it, Justice Goldberg - said about pornography? “I can’t define it but I know it when I see it.” Theoretically, I can distinguish between the public airwaves and cable. It seems to me there is a big separation now between action, responsibility and accountability, while those (in the case of radio and cable) with the power to hire and fire look at not what’s right, but at “what’ll make us the most money?”

I know this is a lousy example for you, but the other day an editorial writer for the Denver Post labeled O’Reilly as a racist, saying he spewed vile something or other. When interviewed, she said it was because he used the term “illegal aliens” instead of “undocumented workers.” That’s part of what I was referring to.

It’s limiting discussing ideas by attacking people for using certain terms in trying to express themselves (this is NOT the case with the Imus issue).

Personal limits? Personally, I generally keep it as a rule of thumb that when people engage in labeling, hyperbole, unsupported accusations masquerading as opinion, that the argument is weak, so personally, I avoid that. There are (Court rulings) things that government can regulate as far as what’s shown or said on the airwaves - but it gets down to a case by case basis. So, no, I don’t want some rules abolished - but I am still uneasy about a wholesale ride towards limits on speech.

Great point Goldie!

And for the rest of you who want to blame “PC liberals” or “race-baiters”, realize that the reason for Imus’s demise was:

1) Sponsors didn’t want their products to be associated with him, thus pulling out. No sponsors…no show. It’s, as you wingnuts say, “the free market deciding.”

2) The pressure on CBS to fire Imus came largely from its own employers and media personalities—i.e. Al Roker—who didn’t want to be associated Imus’s disgusting comments.

3) Referring to a black woman as a “nappy-headed ho” is a big no-no. I couldn’t even say that without getting in huge trouble. So yes, it is a very big deal. And before you say rappers say it, let me say that I don’t condone it there as well.

4) This isn’t the first time that Imus has stepped over the line. I’m sure by now all of you have heard a littany of every vile thing he has said over the years.

Alright ml, on topic. You did a good job of capturing Rove’s smile, and your SERVER SUCKS!!!!

About fingers…I’d like to point mine towards Charles Krauthammer once again. You know…the columnist that some “compassionate” (cough) liberal here said “looks like a Chernobyl victim”.

Anyhoo, with my finger (guess which one) extended, this has come to “define” Democrats for me.

(((How at this point — with only about half of the additional surge troops yet deployed — can Democrats be trying to force the U.S. to give up? The Democrats say they are carrying out their electoral mandate from the November election. But winning a single-vote Senate majority as a result of razor-thin victories in Montana and Virginia is hardly a landslide.)))

(((Second, if the electorate was sending an unconflicted message about withdrawal, how did the most uncompromising supporter of the war, Sen. Joe Lieberman, win handily in one of the most liberal states in the country?)))

And third, where was the mandate for withdrawal? Almost no Democratic candidates campaigned on that. They campaigned for changing the course the administration was on last November.

(((Which the president has done. He changed the civilian leadership at the Department of Defense, replaced the head of Central Command and, most critically, replaced the Iraq commander with Petraeus — unanimously approved by the Democratic Senate — to implement a new counterinsurgency strategy.)))

Let’s see now, there’s “the platform they ran on” and then there’s the historical “flatform” of THEIR politics. CHANGING THE COURSE.

Give them an “inch”, they’ll redefine it, and call it a “mile” stone.

There’s no doubt about it in my mind. The “new democrats” are not a noble party. They’ll attempt to weigh this country down with their “political stonewalling” and sink the U.S. thinking they can win in 2008.

They define “POLITICIANS”, and who, if anybody, likes those?

Their motives become more clear each passing day. I, for one, will be passing them by in November, 2008.

{{It’s the difference between what shouldn’t be said, and what can’t be said.}}

I’m with you, Uber… I’m not sure of what my “personal limit” is either. I personally did not think that Howard Stern should have had to move to satellite radio, simply because he took his “sex jokes” too far one day, but that’s what the sex police in America decided should be his fate… so, can we keep tolerating racist rants against entities such as a women’s basketball team, simply because some old geezer thinks he’s being funny while using racist language? What if you yourself had a daughter that was on an athletic team and she became the butt of someone’s racist or sexist language… your daughter who has been making her way through college and playing an athletic sport — what would you do as a father?

In Imus’ case, what it showed me was just how comfortable he had become in talking that way with his producer, like he was in a men’s locker-room, and so comfortable that he could not stop himself from talking that way on the public airwaves last week.

I’m not much on conspiracies - “The demolition of the dollar isn’t accidental. It’s part of a plan to shift wealth from one class to another and concentrate political power in the hands of a permanent ruling elite” - but I do accept a series of decisions and nondecisions taken for non-interelated reasons can have the effect you describe.

But when the same points are made by Mr. Walker it has impact on me, as he’s saying, as I understand it - ‘these are the actions that elements of our country have taken, these are the decisions made, and these are the most probable outcomes.”

Why are such economic actions not scrutinized in the same manner as our foreign policy or military intervention policies? The impacts you referenced can be more critical - but isn’t part of the problem the attitude of “let the markets work it out”? Which strikes me as a silly refrain, given it’s not markets, but government, that is taking many of the actions.

Personalizing this - I look at my kids and sometimes shudder at the probable mess that may hit them through no fault of their own.

Conspiracy theorists tend to lean to the extreme, but the article still points out recent events/actions that are significant, yet under-reported.

Walker’s message seems to be falling on deaf ears. Perhaps that is because there is relatively low unemployment. Perhaps it is because the subject is complex and its root cause(s) is not attributable to a specific political party. Perhaps it is ignored by many who understand it because they are too busy scrambling “to get their share”.

I also worry about our children’s future. Are they the next generation that has to live through a global depression along with the food lines, unemployment, poor healthcare, shorter lifespans and limited access to education?

ml, I have to give it to you - this is pretty frik’in funny.

Now onto other things, I was rummaging through my morning routine and saw this..

‘The Iraqi Army was asked by the government of Iraq to rid the town of militia members and other terrorist groups who had waged a campaign of murder and intimidation against the people of Diwaniyah and the security forces charged with protecting them.’

“We have received more than 700 requests for the help of the Iraqi Army from the people of Diwaniyah,” said Iraqi Army Maj. Gen. Oothman Farhood, commander of the 8th Iraqi Army Division. “The Iraqi Army is here for the people of Iraq and to help the Iraqi Police provide security for the citizens of Diwaniyah.”

Do you choose to see hopelessness and defeat in the people of Diwaniyah? Or, do you schoose to see hope with the arms, eyes and intelligence of the people, reaching out and teaming up with many brave Iraqis, all fighting for change?

News flash - e-mails can’t be permanently deleted unless you can find and scrub every server and computer that the e-mail ever passed through. Now, the e-mails WILL be located, they WILL be scrubbed mercilessly, and the assumption will be that someone had something to hide - and tired, ineptly, to hide it. What a bunch of IDIOTS.

Your argument is with Charles Krauthammer, he wrote the article, you spastic.

Since you are too incoherent to handle this on your own, let me finish his thoughts for you:

How at this point — with only about half of the additional surge troops yet deployed — can Democrats be trying to force the U.S. to give up? The Democrats say they are carrying out their electoral mandate from the November election. But winning a single-vote Senate majority as a result of razor-thin victories in Montana and Virginia is hardly a landslide. And third, where was the mandate for withdrawal? Almost no Democratic candidates campaigned on that. They campaigned for changing the course the administration was on last November.

And if you persist that the election was about withdrawal then why haven’t your candy as-s candidates done it yet?

What do they know that you don’t??

The reason that the map has changed so much during the last one hundred years has been the consensus that nations do have the right to exist and defend that existence and not be dominated and coerced by colonial powers, thus the dissolution of the British, French and other empires and the 170+ independent nations today. Many argue that Kurdistan has a right to exist. It may yet in the future. Are you going to tell the majority of people in South Africa that they did not have a right to self-determination and they had to stay under the foot of the Boors?

Your argument flies in the face of history and in the face of the very reason for which your precious United Nations was founded. However, I know the real reason that you feel that way.

First of all, you’ll have to show us where Sharpton and Jackson have accomplished one freaking thing in the “boycotts” you claim they have started. Either those boycotts never happened, or they were nothing but phony p.r. attempts - like virtually everything those two hustlers do.

Secondly, since you’re overjoyed that Imus has lost his livlihood because he exercised his “free speech”, why do you use the word “Uber” before Paul’s name? Isn’t “Uber” code for “Nazi” and how is that any different from what Imus does?

You’re fired!

Walt,

See above to Goldielocks, but in your case the word is “neo-con” which is code for “Jew”.

You’re fired!

Snake,

Reality check time:

Obama, Sharpton and Jackson are all Liberal Democrats as are the head honchos of CBS and NBC.

I know that liberal Alan Colmes is opposed to Imus’ firing, as are conservatives Hannity, Coulter, Limbauh, Ingraham, Boortz and Medved.

In this case, it is the liberal Democrats who bowed to extortionist threats from other liberals - specifically black liberals who threaten, err, put pressure on white liberals who panicked.

Frankly, I hope Imus turns around and sues, since he did not violate FCC rules and they have enabled him to be Imus for decades now. Unless they can demonstrate that they have issued formal warnings to him, it seems to me that he has a case against them.

Finally, if they were worried about losing ad dollars, which would have been a temporary drop in revenue that would have been recouped once this tempest in a teapot blew over, what are they going to do to make up that revenue now the that the shows have been cancelled completely?

I can rely on the opinions and career-long work of over 250 worldwide geologiical scientists and climatologists or I can trust the opinions of those two, trained experts on changes to the earth’s future climate, Sean “Vanity” Hannity or Rush “I-never-pass-up-a-pill-to-pop” Limbaugh.

As for the sponsors dropping out, they know how effective Jackson and Sharpton are at blackmailing, err, boycotting corporations until they get the big payouts they’re looking for. The advertisers panicked prematurely.

Eisenhower won Texas in 1952 and 1956, and the state was beginning to trend, slowly, to the Republicans in the metropolitan areas. Also, you really need to check your facts. Utah and Nebraska are notoriously reliably Republican in presidential elections and Bush won them in 2000 by very WIDE margines. No one with even half a brain would believe the assertion you just made. In fact, since 1952, Nebraska and Utah have only gone Demoncrat once, in the huge Johnson landslide of 1964 when Nebraska cast 52% of its vote for Johnson. Utah cast around 52-53% to the best of my memory. All of these are facts which can be checked. I can even give you the margine by which Kennedy-Johnson won Texas in 1960, it was 22,000 votes, most of them DEAD. Now go sit in the corner with the dunce cap on your head.

Dear LuckoDull—

I don’t believe for one minute that radical Islamic looneys would NEVER, EVER cooperate with others of their ilk in Afghanistan. I believe they all mean us harm and, given an opportunity, will do just that. What bothers me is that so many Americans take idiotic positions on issues in the face of irrefutable facts and just refuse to admit they’re wrong. For instance, as much a liar Bill Clinton was (is), he’s being out-trumped by an Administration that can’t figure out how not to mix the people’s business with email accounts from its political party made available to 50 or so Whitehouse. Isn’t it going to be a little difficult for the Administration to argue the merits of “Executive Priviliege” when it has effectively waived it on ANY information contained on the servers of those email accounts? Are the people supposed to accept this unabashed mixing of their business with the political interests of a private association? It might be colder than normal in this country everyday for the next 12 months. That doesn’t mean, however, that over the course of 30 or 40 years the predictions of a large group of otherwise reputable scientists should be discounted because two of this country’s foremost radio propagandists say it’s untrue. I’m not willing to put my future or that of my grandchildren in the hands of two individuals who are essentially political hacks. You shouldn’t either.

And members of Congress have gone on fact finding trips since our country began. We’re not going to stop because the president wants to avoid the facts and doesn’t want to engage in dialogue.

For what it’s worth Imus is a Democrat. I know it’s difficult to believe that since, unlike most members of your party, he is a Patriot, served in the Marines, and is someone who didn’t believe the fable that Alger Hiss was an innocent victim of that mean Whittiker Chamber’s revelations that Hiss was a Communist.

Here is a story about another Democrat using the Ho word:

Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Calif.) suspended her membership in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Thursday afternoon, citing a need for “structural reforms to ensure that the caucus is more equitable and inclusive of all its members.”//She is the second member of Congress to leave the group this year as lawmakers lobbed charges of chauvinism within the group, mismanagement of the group’s political arm and too great an emphasis on seniority.//Sanchez’s sister, Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) resigned earlier this year after accusing the group’s chairman, Rep. Joe Baca, another California Democrat, of referring to her as a “w*******” during a meeting in California. (Baca has denied making the comment.)

We should be willing to forgive and move on. People shouldn’t be destroyed over a screw up. Further, I can’t support the firing because it was obvious that the move was financial and not because of the conduct itself. If the sponsors had stood by the show, he wouldn’t have been fired.

In Federalist numbers 10, 14, and 48, Madison insisted that the new Constitution established a republic, not a democracy, emphasizing in Federalist No. 10 that a “Republican” form of government protected the people from the dangers of tyranny of the majority. In his “Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution,” Noah Webster, writing as an American citizen, extolled the virtues of the American republic’s bicameral legislature; the very design of which was to protect the people from rash and hasty laws passed by a transient, passionate majority.

This unity among America’s founding statesmen remained unbroken as late as 1945, 158 years after the ratification of the Constitution, when the 79th Congress of the United States unhesitatingly approved, by joint resolution, the official pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States, containing the phrase “and to the Republic for which it stands.” Yet 60 years later, on the cusp of the 21st century, this affirmation that America is a republic, like the pledge itself, has fallen from favor. In its place is a new declaration that America is, and always has been, a democracy.

Indeed, there is hardly a voice left in Congress, much less in the White House, Republican or Democrat, who refers to our nation’s government as a republic. Even President Bush declared that his election to the presidency was a vindication of the integrity of “American democracy.” In doing so, the new president was simply following suit. For several decades, America’s political leaders have been promoting the virtues of America’s “democratic ideal” within, by shaping public policy according to the latest opinion polls, and at the same time, exporting democracy abroad, by employing American military power to reshape other nations’ governments to conform more closely to “the will of the people.” Both goals stand, however, in direct contradiction to America’s founding principles.

Truthsayer, it isn’t my theory of non-rival, non-exclusive public goods — it is accepted economics. Even jbmlaw seems to accept national defense as a public good (albeit the only one, it seems.) And if you allow that one such good exists, them you tacitly agree that the field of political economy becomes one of determing what others there may be, and what should be paid for them.

Do you really want argue that individuals, not communities, should privately contract for bridges, roads, sewer systems, water, police, fire protections, etc,; that is is “Marxist” for elected representatives to levy taxes for them?

Do you really want to argue that medical research would be more advanced if we abolished the National Institutes of Health and let private industry handle it? What possible financial motivation would they have to develop treatments for difficult diseases that only affect small numbers of people? Indeed, what motivation would they have for developing any preventive medicine or medical cures — it would put them out of business?

I am truly sorry the two of you feel robbed of money and freedom every time a poor child is innoculated. Fortunately, for the vast majority of Americans, “promote the general welfare” means more than merely piling up huge stacks of munitions.

I would never suggest that there weren’t people in the South who voted, the 40’s, 50’s and early 60’s, for Republicans BECAUSE of the Dixiecrats racist ways. However, you have to remember that this was a very small minority. It was not until after the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, forced intergration that white southerners started voting for Republican presidential candidates in large numbers. There was a reason that LBJ sadi when signing the Civil Rights Act that “we’ve lost the South for the next 2 generations.” Of course he underestimated, but he was right. The liberal wing of the Democratic party lost the South by doing the right thing. To suggest that 95% of blacks vote Democratic and 65% percent of southern whites vote GOP is because the blacks are too dumb to realize that the GOP really has their best interests at heart is really stupid.

Plus, have you ever noticed how everyone’s name over there sounds similar to everyone else’s name? How many different organizations exist within one country? I’m beginning to think those countries create their own chaos, even without our help.

I don’t mean to make lite of your concerns RE. I AM concerned about Iran’s vocal support of Turkey’s threats. That little “mole” Ahmadenijad is popping up everywhere.

There’s an awful lot of Turkish businesses investing in Northern Iraq. Have been for awhile, and continue to seek other opportunities there. Also, the EU has been putting a lot of pressure on Turkey before they will allow them entry into the EU, something that Turkey deeply desires.

Steve-O,

It’s not about you.

It’s about outrageous hypocrites like Sharpton who are intent on destroying Don Imus, but are apologists for a the very culture that perpetuates the words Imus has been fired for using.

Woops, maybe it is about you. You are making excuses for Sharpton and the ghetto culture too, although unlike those who debated Michelle Malkin, you’re not going as far back as George Washington to lay blame.

Don’t blame me either - I’m just the messenger reporting on the media. If you agree that that the Washington reference is ludicrous, why not complain to the jerks who perpetuate this nonsense? That is not a lecture - it’s a helpful suggestion.

Sharpton has issued lots of threats but does not follow it up with the remarkable energy he held in reserve for Don Imus. Google Al Sharpton+Boycotts if you don’t believe me.

Sharpton could have accepted Imus’ sincere apology, worked toward reconciliation, and moved on, but the reality is that Sharpton’s career (like Jackson’s) is dependent on dividing us as a nation and stoking the flames of discontent mostly to the detriment of his own supporters.

Forgive my intrusion, but the point of responsibility begins with the parent.

For argument sake, let’s look on Al Sharpton as the “parent” of the black community. When a parent offers only “lip service” to their child, but fails to set the right example, the child will usually follow the failed example and ignore the lip service. Rather than just talking about “offensive rap”, both he, and the African community need to pursue it as vigorously as they do others. I can’t help but recall the outrage that Bill Cosby’s remarks received from the many. I don’t remember if Sharpton and Jackson were among them or not.

Steve-O,

Our posts crossed earlier. No, that is not outrage. It is mostly empty “threats” and inconsequential scolding. Here is a more recent version of the same story.

I worked in the music business for 20 years. I heard all the excuses about how ghetto rap is a “reflection of the culture”, not an instrument to seduce youth into destructive and occasionally lethal behavior that perpetuates disaster.

I witnessed the overwrought outrage when parental advisory stickers were mandated, with the charge being that it was a form of “censorship”.

I witnessed intimidation by really nasty artist management who were, shall we say, cut of the same cloth of Malik Shabaaz.

My son rides on a school bus where he is one of the few “white boys”. He tells me all about the black kids calling eachother “niggah”, starting fights, threatening eachother, and generally behaving deplorably.

Consequently, he doesn’t have a very favorable impression of blacks. I have to keep reminding him of his own black friends at school, that these kids on the bus don’t represent all blacks, et cetera et cetara. It’s not easy. He sees what he sees. Whose fault is that?
