Malcolm X's rap of Democrats

Recently, this writer referenced the little-known and suppressed speech prepared by then-SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) leader (now U.S. Congressman) John Lewis. Lewis was urged by civil rights leaders to "tone down" his speech, and he did so. At around the same time, another Black leader, fiery Black nationalist (and former Nation of Islam Minister) Malcolm X, was giving his own biting analysis and commentary on the duplicity of Democrats when it came to Blacks. In his historic 1964 "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech, Malcolm made crystal clear his view of Democratic betrayal of Black interests: "In the present administration they have in the ...

Mr. Loeffler's resignation continues the fallout from a new ...

Record Obama Crowd, the Size of a City

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sen. Barack Obama has seen his share of large crowds over the last 15 months, but his campaign said they have not approached the numbers gathered along the waterfront here right now. The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak. The scene suggests this is not an exaggeration. The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore.

McCain's Chances May Have Hit a New Nader By Micah L. Sifry Sunday, May 18, 2008; Page B04 Sen. John McCain is champing at the bit to run against Sen. Barack Obama in the fall. But while the presumptive GOP nominee focuses on his likely Democratic rival, he should also worry about his own right flank. Bob Barr entered the presidential race last week as a Libertarian, in time for that party's nominating convention (which starts Thursday), and while the former Republican congressman from Georgia isn't going to become president, his run is no joke. Barr might well inherit the sizable support garnered by Rep. Ron Paul during his own run for the Republican nomination -- and leave ...

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama urged tens of thousands of supporters under sunny skies at Portland's waterfront to send a message in Tuesday's primary that the time has come for change. "We are tired of business as usual and we are going to change America," he told the crowd, which filled the bowl south of the Hawthorne Bridge and spilled into boats on the Willamette River and along the bridge. Obama said the crowd of 30,000 was spectacular, but estimates ranged as high as 70,000. Obama focused his remarks on Republican Sen. John McCain, and promised that Democrats would be united in their battle against him. The campaigns of Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton were making one ...

WASHINGTON - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday he'd like to be John McCain's running mate. "There's no one I would rather be on a ticket with than John McCain," said Huckabee, who was a stronger than expected challenger against McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. "All during the campaign when I was his rival, not a running mate, there was no one who was more complimentary of him publicly and privately. ... I still wanted to win, but if I couldn't, John McCain was always the guy I would have supported and have now supported. "But whether or not I do the best for him, that's something that only he can decide," Huckabee ...

Former Rep. Thomas G. Loeffler, a Texan who is among the McCain campaign's most important advisers and fundraisers, has resigned as a national co-chair over lobbying entanglements, a Republican source told Politico on Sunday. It's at least the fifth lobbying-related departure from the campaign in a week. The McCain campaign, already facing the prospect of being badly outgunned in the general election, now also must cope with the disruption of the lobbying shakeout. The McCain campaign's stringent approach to the issue is provoking a bit of grumbling from some of its Washington allies, who point out that a lobbyist's function is enshrined in the Constitution. "No one ...

Obama's formulation is profoundly insulting From:Sun-Journal Lewiston, Me.Date:April 17, 2008More results for:obama and liberalism and socialism Barack Obama was caught saying something he believes. At a San Francisco fundraiser, away from the prying eyes of the press, Obama reflected on why small-town voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest seem resistant to his appeal. He said those areas had lost jobs for 25 years. Therefore, people "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti- immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."Obama has apologized for his phrasing while defending the ...

Top fundraisers for Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have begun private talks aimed at merging the two candidates' teams, not waiting for the Democratic nominating process to end before they start preparations for a hard-fought fall campaign.
Despite Obama's apparently insurmountable lead in delegates needed to claim the nomination, aides to both candidates are resigned to the idea that the Democratic contest will continue at least through June 3, when Montana and South Dakota will cast the final votes of the primary season.
But in small gatherings around Washington and in planning sessions for party unity events in New York and Boston in coming weeks, fundraisers and ...

Said Oliver Twist and it may become our national slogan under President Obama. I commented yesterday on his bizarre reference to his intention to control how much we eat but still couldn’t believe my ears. Now, I have a second source. "We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. "That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen," he added. Source That’s the only mention of his statement on Google News. Today’s quote is even worse. Not only is there a presidential candidate suggesting that the federal ...

HOW HILLARY CAN STILL WIN IT By Cliff Kincaid May 17, 2008 NewsWithViews.com As Hillary Clinton won a huge victory in West Virginia last Tuesday, the political pundits began to change their tune. Ever since the previous week’s primary returns, in which Hillary lost big to Barack Obama in North Carolina, and barely squeaked by with a win in Indiana, the assumption was that the race was over, and it was just a matter of how she would make her exit. Perhaps she would wait till she could go out on a winning note in West Virginia, suggested NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. Or maybe she would finish out the primaries on June 3, and bow out at that point, for the good of the party, when enough ...

Bush Starts a McCain-Obama Brawl Friday, May. 16, 2008 By JAY NEWTON-SMALL Presidential candidate Barack Obama john McCain In case anyone missed it, the general election started in earnest this week. And it was President Bush, of all people, who fired the starting gun, from 5,000 miles away. With Bush's approval ratings hovering at all-time lows of 27%, Republican nominee John McCain knows all too well that his best shot for winning the presidency in the fall is distancing himself from the current occupant of the Oval Office. But after the fallout from the President's appeasement attack on Barack Obama during a speech in Israel, it's clear that will be easier said than ...

LOS ANGELES — There is good news and bad news for Democrats in the wake of Tuesday’s voting in West Virginia and Mississippi. The good news is that Democrats are now three-for-three in the contests for open House seats, adding Mississippi to the list where a Democrat, albeit one running as pro-life and pro-gun, defeated his Republican opponent in a traditionally Republican, conservative district. The bad news is that Barack Obama, who has been crowned by the media as the "presumptive nominee" of the Democratic Party, got trounced in a state that every Democrat to be elected president in recent generations has carried on his way to the White House. Is the Republican ...

May 16, 2008 Rep. Davis: Bush Is 'Absolutely Radioactive' @ 5:34 pm by Andy Barr Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) thinks that President Bush is "absolutely radioactive" and that any Republicans close to the him will suffer electoral consequences. Davis, who made waves for a shockingly bleak memo about the electoral outlook for the GOP this fall, tells Bloomberg TV in an interview that will air tonight that GOP members have "got to get some separation from the president." "Republicans, I think, have time to turn it around to some extent," Davis tells the network. "But, if they don't, we're cruising for a bruising." Davis has been ...

-- LOOK OUT John McCain!!!HERE COMES THE SWIFT BOAT!!! McCain has said repeatedly that he was afforded no special treatment while in the "Hanoi Hilton". Yet when he was first interviewed by the North Vietnamese he is shown at a hospital reserved for Vietnamese military and he was seen by Soviet Surgeons. He was drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes while being interviewed. This was a far cry from the way the rest of the POWs were treated. His wife at the time, was a member of the National League of Families and she fought to make sure that John McCain came home. He rewarded this loyalty by divorcing her after his return. He was shot down October 26, 1967, and by November 9, ...

All week long, you and I have been blasting the bereft Beltway GOP leadership for their empty sloganeering and Obama-esque change obsession. Now, the NRCC is hearing it directly on its website. Reader Fritz e-mails that the comments section in the NRCC blog post by chairman Tom Cole is sizzling hot with aggravated grass-roots conservative feedback. Go check it out. A sample: This is not the message I am looking to support. The message of the Replican Part should be fundumentally different than the Democrats. We don’t need to “fix” the government. We need the Federal Government to do wnat it is supposed to - protect our freedom. It should not try to be eveyones ...
