Wooten, if you want to make a serious argument you have to get past quoting “thoughtful commentary” from Ann Coulter.

Oddly, the biggest conservative anti-Obama spin lately is that “he may not automatically own the black vote, in which case he’s doomed.” Obviously, the reasoning goes like this:

Obama’s black; therefore, no white people would vote for him due to his race (after all, white people are all as racist as me!). So if he can’t get overwhelming race-based support from “his own people,” where will he get votes from?

And yet they claim that “racism” is solely in the minds of liberals? Hee hee! Funny stuff.

Barack Obama and race By Jim Wooten | Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 07:56 AM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Commentator Ann Coulter, who can turn a phrase, refers to him as “Jonathan Livingston Obama” and opined that “his speeches are a run-on string of embarrassing, sophomoric Hallmark bromides.”

PUHLEEEZE JIM! Ann Coulter? Just what would you call HER commentaries?

Hmmm, “As you well know, it’s not a function of melanin content. “Blackness,” for lack of a better word, is about being able to relate to various common threads in our culture, having an understanding of our accomplishments and challenges, and exemplifying a willingness to work to leave things better than the way we found them.”

So, for this ignorant white guy, it isn’t about skin color or racial background, but how well you toe the party line. If I read “rarringt” correctly that is.

I guess Condi Rice is not black enough, I guess Tiger Woods isn’t black enough and I am starting to wonder about Oprah.

Forget about Obama. In the end, he will be run over by the Clinton train, unable to raise the huge sums required for a serious campaign and unable to garner the lion’s share of the black vote. The Democrats will choose the only possible path to losing the 2008 presidential election. Hillary is unelectable, given her negatives,and any Republican nominee will beat her.

The Democratic primary is only marginally about race. Rather, it is about capturing the far left wing of the party—the people who supported Howard Dean. Hillary is unethical enough to promise that wing more, and the result will be that moderates will choose the ABH approach—anybody but Hillary. The Republican nominee will be the winner by default, for that nominee will look downright statesman-like in comparison.

Good morning all. As a fan of both Chairman Ann and our friend rarringt, I suggest their essays are not mutually exclusive. Chairman Ann’s essay on Osama Obama was one of her funniest in the past few months, merely quoting sections of his declaration speech (admittedly out of context, although that was not particularly relevant given the context) and adding her own spicy commentary. Our friend rarringt is correct in his analysis of Obama – Obama is the Tiger Woods of the democrats. His racial components are incidental to his being, and I think are probably a small positive for him in the primaries – not enough to make any real difference. In contrast, my favorite potential candidate – Condi Rice – would find her race a significant plus for her in the republican primaries and in the general election.

I am not a fan of Obama – he is as socialist as any campaigning, so he will not get my vote under any circumstances. All republican candidates are better potential presidents. Somebody will surely raise the issue of “experience” – other than the usefulness of experience in avoiding campaign gaffes, I think experience is grossly oversold. Obama’s total lack of experience is a positive for him, from my view.

Special for my friend JK: I left early yesterday (needlessly, it turns out) for a sudden health issue, and the stock market collapsed. I would suggest there is surely cause and effect there, although the WSJ analysis does not mention market fears for my health: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009722

An African American, a woman, a Jew , whether Democrat, Republican or “other” will never be elected president of the U.S. in 2008.

If they choose a WASP, it doesn’t much matter who… as long as it’s NOT one of the above , they will coast to victory.

Wooten wrote, “Obama has been careful not to make his success or failure a referendum on race in America and in politics. Is it?”

I don’t know. I do know that the Southern Strategy is alive and well within the Republican Party. This Party takes every opportunity to divide on religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation or any other subculture they hate and want others to hate as well. Fox News’ decision to run with the phony madrasah story about Obama is one example. The Bush camp’s whisper campaign in the 2000 South Carolina primaries intended to spread the rumor that John McCain fathered an illegitimate “dark” child is another. Of course, now Young Republicans at college campuses around the country are trying to recruit members by playing a modified version of hide-and-seek called “Find the Illegal Alien”. No – I’m afraid that if Republicans find any hint of “blackness” in Senator Obama’s background, they’ll play it for all it’s worth. They’re already looking at the church he attended in Illinois and trying to attribute statements made by ministers there to him.

As for swing voters, I hope that issues such as global warming, our national debt, rising poverty rates, rising health care costs, energy independence, terrorism, rising crime rates, nuclear proliferation, inequities in our tax code, ethics in government, inequities in our trade agreements and our crumbling infrastructure take precedent over a candidate’s race. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Don’t place your bets on a Democratic WASP coast to victory in 2008. If you think most Americans are happy with the way Dems are “running down” this war, you will have a great awakening. They may want their sons and daughter home but not in retreat. That is the only avenue offered by Democrats. Resolutions and funds withdrawal are just a way to save face, but the public is not fooled. Surreptitious surrender is still surrender.

When I got back to the warehouse yesterday the boss was walking around crying and groaning about how much he lost in the stock market. I told him he shouldn’t gamble. He said buying stocks wasn’t gambling, it was investing in companys. That don’t make much sense. He don’t know how a company is going to do no more than I know what card is going to turn up in my poker hand. Gambling is gambling but we kind of wink at some of it and call it something else.

As for Barack Obama, his race doesn’t matter. What matters is can he deliver the goods. But he does need a few years of political Washington seasoning before reaching, or acheiving, the Oval Office.

Talk/write about “sophomoric Hallmark bromides”, to quote Ann Coulter begs the question, is Jim Wooten reaching down as low as he can get, or reaching up as high as he can get?

Contrary to popular left-wing belief, I don’t believe most conservatives look at race in the bigger picture of things, let alone the first viewpoint of sizing someone up.

When I see Condi Rice, I see the Secretary of State. When I see Tiger Woods, I see a great golfer. When I see Oprah, I see the epitome of American success. When I see Dave Chappelle reruns, I see a brilliant comedian.

It isn’t until someone reminds me that I actually realize that these people are actual bonafide Black people. Then I think, “oh yeah”. When I read the AJC written by a bunch of lefties minus Wooten, I am constantly reminded that race divides us all.

It’s always Black this and White that and Hispanic or Asian the other. Why does everyone in the world of the left have to be categorized into a class or group? Whatever happened to the individual?

When I see Barack Obama, I see a flash in the pan with no background whatsoever and a person who doesn’t want to show us what his background is. We all know what he stands for, and that’s socialist liberal ideas. Not to go unmentioned, every now and then I am reminded by the liberal media complex that he’s Black..well, half Black in truth, like Tiger. Dave Chappelle racial draft episode anyone?

On a lighter note, it is quite humorous watching the left on this blog froth at the mouth when they see an Ann Coulter quote. Of course, these same fine group of people drop to their knees when Michael Moore speaks.

Jim, For me it’s not so much the individuals running on the Democratic ticket, as it is the way the party frames them.

The first Woman President.

The first Black President.

The first Hispanic President.

And as far as rarringt’s question:

“The real question, of course, is how white America feels about his ethnicity, and to what extent that will affect the choices of moderate America. I think they’ll like what they see.”

rarringt:

In the beginning I was as enamored with Obama’s charm as the next guy. But too often in politics, “charm” is a cover for the “unknown”.

As to his ethnicity? Not a factor for me, nor should it be for anyone else.

Experience is a key issue. Especially now!!!!

The only candidate the Democrats have that is worth his salt is Richardson. He has experience in foreign policy, but yet the polls show him 4th?

On the Republican side we have a couple of candidates slightly left on social issues but I’ll concede in the interest of national security.

Perdue appointee’s firm fined for spill Poultry farm exec is member of Natural Resources Board

By STACY SHELTON The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Published on: 02/28/07

Ten days after Gov. Sonny Perdue appointed him to the state environmental board, Joe Hatfield’s family-owned poultry operation received a major fine levied by one of the agencies he helps oversee.

Fieldale Farms Corp., headquartered in northeast Georgia, agreed to pay $35,808 to the state in January for discharging untreated waste from the company’s chicken-parts rendering plant in northeast Georgia into a nearby creek and for other environmental violations related to odors and a mechanical failure.

The spill last July of 50,000 gallons of raw sludge containing remnants of cooked-down, inedible chicken parts, was dumped into Big Tom’s Creek, killing 79 fish, according to the state Environmental Protection Division.

The EPD investigation was well under way when Hatfield joined the Board of Natural Resources, which oversees the EPD and other agencies.

Hatfield is Fieldale Farm’s executive vice president of operations, and the son of one its founders. He oversees cleanups, including the one in Toccoa, and has built several waste treatment plants for his company. Fieldale, which is owned by two families, is now the largest privately owned poultry operation in the nation, providing whole birds and parts to major grocery chains and shipping to more than 50 countries.

Hatfield is also a donor to Perdue. Last year, Hatfield gave $4,000 to Perdue’s campaign, according to financial disclosure reports filed with the State Ethics Commission. Other Fieldale Farms executives also donated in 2006.

In 2005, Hatfield gave $3,500 to Perdue, the same year the governor appointed him to the Board of Economic Development. Hatfield left that board in January to join the natural resources board.

Fieldale Farms has had previous violations, though no fines since 2002. According to EPD records, the company paid $64,543 in fines between 1998 and 2002, including a $10,000 fine in 1998 for another spill into the same creek that also caused a fish kill.

In Atlanta on Tuesday for a Board of Natural Resources meeting, Hatfield, of Clarkesville, said the state environmental regulators who fined his company were “doing their job, just as I’m doing my job. … I don’t feel any different towards them.”

Hatfield said he did not attend a hearing during which company officials met with the Environmental Protection Division to discuss the violations “because I’m a board member. It would be inappropriate for me to try to influence EPD.”

Hatfield also said he plans to abstain from voting on matters that could affect his business.

As a board member, Hatfield is one of 18 members who vote on state environmental rules and regulations, and sets policies. The board also oversees state parks and wildlife management areas.

For their part, EPD officials said Fieldale Farms was handled no differently from any other company that violates environmental laws.

April Ingle, executive director of Georgia River Network, a statewide river advocacy group based in Athens, said the case raises questions about how the governor chooses board members.

She and other environmentalists say the board is slanted toward business and development. “I have no idea what rationale is used,” she said. “Ideally, I think the people would be selected based on a criteria. Let’s let the public see that. [Board members have] got such an enormous amount of power to make really important decisions.”

Bert Brantley, spokesman for Perdue, said the governor makes a point of including representatives from regulated industries on the DNR board. Other members include developers, timber farmers, and an environmental advocate.

“Joe Hatfield is a successful businessman and avid outdoorsman who should not be disqualified from public service because of a mistake made by an employee of his family’s company,” Brantley wrote in an e-mail.

Fieldale told state officials that the spill occurred when an employee mistakenly turned on a pump at 4 a.m. in one of the ponds where waste from the processing plant accumulates on the site and near the creek. The pump is only supposed to be used when connected to a tanker truck to cart away biosolids, or the byproduct of cooked-down chicken parts.

But there was no truck, and the chicken waste ran into the small creek for about two hours before other employees noticed. The creek drains into the Savannah River.

The unnamed employee who caused the spill was fired.

The Toccoa rendering plant cooks down inedible chicken parts, including chicken heads, to make cat feed, cattle feed and biodiesel for trucks, Hensley said.

Waste is first discharged into the holding ponds, where liquids and solids are separated. The solids are taken to a landfill, and the liquid is disposed of by spraying it on a grass field and pine trees on the 500-acre property.

During its investigation the EPD also found that periodically between 2004 and 2006, Fieldale had sprayed too much nitrogen on the property. The pollutant contaminated the groundwater and could eventually cause algae blooms and fish kills in the nearby stream.

Dominic Weatherill, the EPD’s manager of industrial wastewater, said the fine was stiff because the spill killed fish. When the sludge entered the stream, it dramatically reduced the dissolved oxygen in the water, choking the life in it.

“From a water quality standpoint, it doesn’t get a great deal worse than a fish kill,” Weatherill said. “A fish kill is an indicator of a large pollution event.”

Hatfield said his company is in the process of spending $4.5 million at the plant to update the plant’s wastewater treatment system.

MEDIA STATEMENT:

The purpose of this statement is to explain my heritage for the benefit of members of the media who may be seeing me play for the first time. It is the final and only comment I will make regarding the issue.

My parents have taught me to always be proud of my ethnic background. Please rest assured that is, and always will be, the case - past, present, and future.

The media has portrayed me as African-America; sometimes, Asian. In fact, I am both.

Yes, I am the product of two great cultures, one African-American and the other Asian.

On my father’s side, I am African-American. On my mother’s side, I am Thai. Truthfully, I feel very fortunate, and EQUALLY PROUD, to be both African-American and Asian!

The critical and fundamental point is that ethnic background and/or composition should NOT make a difference. It does NOT make a difference to me. The bottom line is that I am an American…and proud of it!

That is who I am and what I am. Now, with your cooperation, I hope I can just be a golfer and a human being.

I fear the humorless leftists don’t understand – the valid comparison to Ann Coulter is Jon Stewart, not Michael Moore. I cannot understand why anyone with a sense of humor does not devour the works of both. I have read her books, and she writes persuasively; the humor does not cover up the argument. She totally changed my mind on Joseph McCarthy; before I read Coulter on McCarthy, I knew more about McCarthy than anyone else on the blog (except perhaps our friends Southern Democrat and MidSouth Philosopher.)

Dear jm @ 11:03, Jeb is fine by me. I just prefer Condi.

Dear Debbie @ 11:04, I fear my Osama Obana joke went over your head.

Forget about Obama. In the end, he will be run over by the Clinton train, unable to raise the huge sums required for a serious campaign and unable to garner the lion’s share of the black vote. The Democrats will choose the only possible path to losing the 2008 presidential election. Hillary is unelectable, given her negatives,and any Republican nominee will beat her.

Only if there names are McCain or Guiliani CO. Anyone to the right of those 2 have not a snow balls chance in hades. Americans have learned their lesson well. Right wing trash had this country held hostage for 6 years but now the rebellion against them is in full swing.

Well said Alana!! @ 12.49

Osama Obama as the odious far left DUI killer Kennedy hilariously called him a while back has managed in these vile politically correct times to meld race/celebrity into some kind of worthless, half arsed cut and run political campaign.

BOTTOM LINE: Osama is just another relatively dim black liberal who the fawning, pandering guilt ridden party of hate media has (for now) adopted as their empty headed vapid leftist wanker of choice. NO ONE can tell us of even ONE major political achievement Osama has managed to perpetrate. Beating a fellow black religious nutter carpet bagger in a one sided all black senate race in a noisily liberal yankkkee state is hardly anything special.

If Osama weren’t half black no one would give a flying toss about this big eared leftist nonenity!!

Depsite all the grivelling puff pieces in the fawning media he still cant’t even attract the black vote. Must be the wrong kind of black elitist … guess Ivy League snotnoses don’t play too well in the hippety hop hood!!

Dear Billy @ 1:27, if we said “it is well documented that you are a humorless moonbat,” it would not make it so. I assume, like most leftists, when you say “well-documented” it means “I dreamed it while on drugs.”

I understand the leftists’ intolerance of a mind like that of Chairman Ann – you cannot beat her at argument so you merely heft mudballs. I think you are incapable of beating her argument on Joe McCarthy. Don’t buy the book, just check it out at the library. I can be persuaded – she changed my mind once, perhaps you could persuade me again. But I don’t expect it – it is a tightly-focused argument.

Dear Debbie @ 1:27, I infer you are humorless. For a good definition of “crass and disgusting,” I suggest:

“You ARE an ignorant white guy!!!” @ 10:56

“From now on I’m going to call you Mr. Delusional; obviously you’ve been reading your own crap, (along with Jim’s) for WAY too long.” @ 11:04

JK’s 12:13 -

Mr. Wooten, may I be of assistance today? One reason you fail in your attempts to convert the masses into “Thinking Right”..

Has anyone ever noticed that when a conservative either writes a column, posts on a blog, or reports on some news story that s/he is trying to convert the masses?

Yes, it’s all coming to me now. When conservatives espouse opinions, and that’s all they are, said conservatives are attempting to convert everyone to their way of thinking. Brainwashing, if you will. Oh sure. Conservatives are going to really sway the mind of a leftist. Are leftists really that insecure?

Oh yes, it’s real clear now. When a leftie posts on a blog like this or the Huffington Post s/he is just expressing an opinion and it’s not about swaying a person’s ideology and thought process. Surely the lefties here are smart enough to not waste so much time on trying to sway the thoughts of conservatives to come around to their way of thinking. No? Yes.

This post is to respond to jbmlaw’s post at 2:16.

Ignoring his or her name-calling (“moonbat”) labeling (“leftist”) and so-called humor (“on drugs”), jbmlaw makes the argument that me accusing Ann Coulter of being a serial liar doesn’t make it so. True enough.

Although, I simply advised readers of her work to check her facts (good advice for most pundits), jbmlaw doesn’t seem to think doing so is necessary in Coulter’s case. However, plenty of sources are easily accessible, via a good search engine, to confirm my assertion that Ann Coulter lies are well documented (which, by the way, is common knowledge).

Here’s a little something to help jbmlaw out:

To the poster at 4:13 operating under the silly moniker, “Billy Hates Ann Coulter”,

In fact, the point of the three links I provided for jbmlaw was simply to get him or her started. As I wrote in my earlier post, anybody who is comfortable using a search engine (most 10 year-olds) could easily find plenty of links proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Ann Coulter is a serial liar –- again, common knowledge. There should be no need for me to provide such links for either him or you. However, since you seem to be challenged in this area, I’ll give you a little help — Google ‘Ann Coulter’ AND ‘National Review’, and I think you’ll be able to find your way to the National Review page I tried to provide.

Also, if you had taken the time to look at CoulterWatch.com site, you would have found that it’s a website maintained by conservatives who are concerned that they’re losing the public because of venom and misinformation spewed by the likes of Ann Coulter. They document some of her lies on the site. On the third link, you’re correct about the fact that Coulter is under INVESTIGATION for lying on her voter registration form. Whether or not she’s guilty remains to be seen, although the folks over at the National Review are likely to wager that she is.

Ann Coulter is not a historian. Her work couldn’t pass muster in an undergrad history course, much less in a refereed journal. The reason is simple, and should be clear even to her partisans: she completely ignores contradictory evidence. (Her research skills are abysmal as well.)

Ms. Coulter depends on the essential ignorance of her right-wing base, who, judging from the commentary on this blog, know even less of history than they do of science, or math, or literature, or art. She is a professional vulgarian. Perhaps her fans can’t discern the difference between the “wit” of someone whose idea of humor is “someone should poison Justice Stevens” and a satirist like Jon Stewart — but anyone with a wisp of taste and intelligence can — and does.

(So Jbmlaw, how does she rehabilitate that Great Conservative American, Roy Cohn? Does she forgive him his cold-blooded murder of Ethel Rosenberg?)

I guess Van feels about about c**-fighting the same way everybody else feels about the baseball. Interesting.

FKanstermack and Jessie, I nominate these two for idiots of the month.

They have proven the closed mindedness of the lefties.

Attack an opinion writer on the left and the vicious attacks begin. Attack an opinion writer on the right and that is okay and the right thing to do.

I compared the likes of the right and the left without attacking either a poster or a columnist.

These two bumpkins acted like I insulted their high school.

I see the left believes in the free exchange of opinions.

It was humorous to see that after Jim Wooten praised Coulter for her supposed ability to “turn a phrase” she referred to John Edwards as a “f*.” Brilliant turn of phrase, eh, Jim. However, not atypical as the following comments reveal.

“I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote.”—-Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

“I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote.”—-Hannity & Colmes, 8/17/99

“You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard.”—-Washington Post 10/16/98 (emphasis added)

And here are a few more:

God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’”—-Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

The “backbone of the Democratic Party” is a “typical fat, implacable welfare recipient”—-syndicated column 10/29/99

To a disabled Vietnam vet: “People like you caused us to lose that war.”—-MSNBC

“I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don’t need any more.” Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, “Well, before the New Deal…[The Emancipation Proclamation] would be a good start.”—-Politically Incorrect 5/7/97

The last one was my favorite.

The great Republican president Abraham Lincoln famously spoke “with malice towards none and charity for all.” It think he would hardly recognize his party today.

If Coulter and her brethren were interested in rational persuasion, reaching people who had different views they would hardly take the approach of perpetual insult. But that is not her interest. Her interest is in galvanizing the political illiterates, blowhards, and others who would ordinarily not vote. Those, like think the ad hominem attack, the more vicious the better, is an argument and that insult provides reasons for a position.
