Hatred
By Jeff Fecke | October 27, 2009
On July 1, over at local righty superblog True North (“Pointing Minnesota in the Right Direction”), Kevin Ecker decided to use his time to highlight an anti-immigration rally in Austin, Minnesota:
Political activism at it’s [sic] best is honest grassroots efforts by people finally fed up with lying politicians who decide to do something about an issue rather than just complain. We have a great example of that coming up here in Minnesota on the immigration issue.
On Saturday, July 11th at 2 PM, there will be a rally held at the Mower County Courthouse. It’s located at 201 First Street NE, Austin, MN. This will be the second rally in a month at that location.
Basically Austin is a town that the residents feel has been devastated by illegal immigration, and a lone resident, Sam Johnson, finally got fed up. He organized the first rally despite being up against professionally organized counter protests by the likes of La Raza, Centro Campesino and various Marxist organizations bussed in from the cities.
Sam Johnson, honest American, just doing the best he can to make our country free of “illegal immigration.” Or, you know, any immigration. Because this is Sam Johnson:
In case you’re wondering — and I doubt you are, but some people might not be able to view the picture — yes, that’s a guy wearing a neo-Nazi uniform. Because Sam Johnson isn’t just a hard-working white American who’s fed-up with illegal immigration. He’s a neo-Nazi, the head of the National Socialist Movement Southeast Minnesota. He is one of the most vile individuals in my state, and he’s a guy who the world will be better off without.
Sally Jo Sorensen of the outstanding Bluestem Prairie blog actually interviewed Johnson (one hopes she took a long, hot shower afterward); you should really read all of part one and bookmark the site for the next two installments, but here’s a brief excerpt:
“Minorities should not be citizens,” Johnson said, “only 100 percent true white Americans.” He outlined his vision of a nation in which all people of color would be stripped of their citizenship, no matter how long their families had lived in the United States, and moved to communities that would be strictly delineated according to race.
People of African descent would live with other people of African descent, Latinos with Latinos, Asians with Asians, American Indians with American Indians, and “real Americans” with other “real Americans. “Real American” and non-citizen status would be determined be having had family living in the country for five generations or 50-70 years.
Only if non-whites broke the law would they be sent back to the country of their ancestors’ origins, regardless of how long their families had lived in the United States. Of course, Johnson emphasized, this would dictate deporting all immigrants living here illegally.
“Minorities could have jobs, own homes, and enjoy their own culture,” he said. They simply wouldn’t be citizens of the United States, nor could they become citizens. They would have to keep separate.
Why separate?
“If you look back in history to every country that’s allowed different races to mingle,” he said, “you’ll see that nation has fallen.”
“Look at what happened to Rome,” he said, when I example him for an example of what he meant. “Jews and Africans came into Rome, there were uprisings, and Rome fell.”
This is the guy that True North — a blog that has included Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; PowerLine’s Scott Johnson; and David Strom, the head of the Minnesota Taxpayers League as contributors — decided to back. A neo-Nazi. But that shouldn’t be surprising — the Republican party has deliberately chosen to throw its lot in with the most extreme elements of the hard-core, fascist-and-no-that’s-not-hyperbole, racist right. It is disgusting. It is despicable.
This is why those of us on the left don’t buy it when the right claims that they’re not racist — because they are so very willing to embrace racists when it helps them. If Republicans want to stop being seen as the party of hate, they need to stop the hatred. Otherwise, they need to own the fact that a sitting Republican congresswoman is a contributor to a website that promoted a neo-Nazi hate rally, promotion that included sharing Sam Johnson’s email address with those looking to get involved. Only a party that found racism acceptable could be comfortable with that.
UPDATE: Just because these things have a way of finding their way down the memory hole:

I wonder if they even know he’s a neo-nazi
October 27th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Yeah, this guy is pretty bad. And Michelle Bachmann is now going to have to disassociate herself from a Web site that she contributed to. And yes, when the GOP advocates against illegal immigration, they probably aren’t too vigilant about just what bedfellows they’re making. All true in my opinion.
But Jeff, you’ve done it again. You projected an incident onto an entire party. You’re right back at the ad-hominem attacks. It’s like you learned about this, and started rubbing your hands back and forth Mr. Miyagi style while licking your lips and grinning. “Ha, we’ve GOT them! Now they’re REALLY going to be on the defensive!” It’s always a jockeying act for the political upper hand, for the morally superior position, the right to condemn. You go beyond condemning an idea, or (in this case) condemning the speaker. You condemn vast swaths of people — literally millions of people — and it’s obvious. You’re taking advantage of hate. Do you realize that? It’s like you’re counting on it. If you didn’t have incidents like these, you’d have to advance your agenda on the merits — and there’s nothing that a liberal hates more than making the case for liberalism. Far easier is to lambaste your opponents, rather than their ideas.
Another thing that bothers me. Your snobby use of [sic]. You had already put the dude’s words in a blockquote, and even with formatting aside, it was obvious from the context that you were quoting. But the [sic] says, “Ha! He can’t spell right! Neener neener neener! Oh yeah, and the Republican party is bad too!”
October 27th, 2009 at 9:24 am
I wonder if they even know he’s a neo-nazi
Considering his email address is the one for NSM Southeast Minnesota, yes, they did.
And John, believe me when I say I’d love not to be pointing out the hatred coming from the Republican party these days. And when the GOP gets rid of the hate within their party, I’ll be the first one praising them for doing so. But the GOP has embraced the hate — and if the rank-and-file Republicans don’t like that, they need to take a stand. The Democrats risked defeat in 1948, and again in 1968, to throw the racists out of the party — and indeed, that decision led inexorably to electoral defeat in ’68, ’72, ’80, ’84, and ’88. But it was the right thing to do, and we did it.
When will the GOP do the same?

“Only if non-whites broke the law would they be sent back to the country of their ancestors’ origins, regardless of how long their families had lived in the United States. Of course, Johnson emphasized, this would dictate deporting all immigrants living here illegally.”
Thank God for the European Union. Other than a significant Irish chunk, I’m not sure what European nation my ancestors came from. Under this plan, if I steal a loaf of bread I could take my pick of EU states.
I agree that the use of [sic] can get obnoxious.

So the thinking goes.
October 27th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
You get it, John. Unfortunately, in their drive for ideological purity, the republiCons have driven the Republicans from the GOP – which, not coincidentally, is why GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples.

Jeff writes “sic” to show that he didn’t make a typing error while quoting someone else. It’s a nod to accuracy, not a “neener-neener.”

AH HA! Another brilliant job of guilt by association – well done Jeff. I look forward to the next…

Franklin –
If you don’t like guilt by association, stop openly associating with the guilty.

El Jeffe,
Expect a pretty big post responding to this tomorrow on SITD and True North.
Followed, you may expect, by a whole lot of people googling every single person you’ve ever quoted on any of your blogs, looking for anyone that might embarass you in retrospect, notwithstanding the fact that you may have quoted them in perfectly good faith, not knowing that they had embarassing baggage.
Now, Jeff, you might respond to that “Good Lord, why? I had no idea! I don’t pre-emptively google every single person I quote!” I mean – do you?
I happen to know Kevin Ecker. He’s a friend of mine, and an excellent blogger. The only association he has with “Naziism” is the one you (plural and singular) jam down his throat against his will – and all of ours, by association.
I’m a little concerned by this need y’all seem to have to see your opposition as not only “wrong”, but actively depraved, too.
(Yep, I duplicated it from that other blog…)
October 27th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
There are, of course, legitimate uses of [sic] and part of the charm is that it allows a writer to rib someone while claiming that he is only demonstrating what is in the original quoted text. It’s one of those things that is perfectly legitimate as a practice, but becomes a problem when applied gratuitously. I wouldn’t say that Jeff overuses [sic] but in the era of copy and paste it is unnecessary. Everyone knows that a typo in a block quote probably wasn’t retyped by the writer quoting the original text. It’s pretty easy to slip into the role smarmy grammar snob.
On another topic, I can’t say I can recall every single person Jeff has ever cited, quoted or referred to approvingly, but it’s one thing to quote a Nazi, quite another someone who has some particular disagreeable opinion. Look at Bill Maher. Some of his opinions are ok. Others be [sic] whack. Just because his ideas about vaccinations are stupid doesn’t make him completely off limits.
October 27th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
MBerg,
Regarding guilt by association:
It’s one thing to agree with someone on an issue and later find out that this person has baggage completely unrelated to said issue. But when you hold views regarding race that are only a tiny degree milder than some repugnant, racist idiot – and then you promote and advocate that racist idiot’s cause – then you deserve all the ridicule, condemnation, and outrage that’s hurled in your direction.
October 27th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Jeremey, please explain how my views on illegal immigration are “only a tiny degree milder than some repugnant, racist idiot”. Otherwise you owe me an apology.
For the record I did not know Sam Johnson was a Neo-Nazi, and had I known I would have promptly forgotten about his event. As far as I knew he was simply just another small time illegal immigration activist. Being as I’m interested in the immigration issue and being pro-enforcement (not anti-immigration as you so delicately put it), I was giving publicity to an event.
Knowing what I know now, no I wouldn’t have given it a plug. At the time googling a name like Sam Johnson just seemed an act of futility, plus there was no reason to suspect such ties. Unlike you I don’t automatically assume others are motivated by hatred. And no I had no idea what NSM was. I don’t waste my time with such organizations.
And I would hardly count simply giving an event publicity as an “endorsement”.
If that’s the standard you want to go with, that’s your call but you might want to think how that applies to your own posts
October 28th, 2009 at 1:47 am
I KNEW IT. Jeff WAS playing a gotcha game. He wanted to stick it to the GOP… He wanted to humiliate a political opponent in Michelle Bachmann. I just knew that he was maligning someone unfairly, but I didn’t have confirmation. Now, with Kevin’s post, it’s pretty clear (to me) that the plug for that event was done absent a hateful motivation.
Why is it, Jeff, that more and more of your posts keep getting debunked for the simpering political stunts that they are? Perhaps making up things doesn’t pay as much as you thought it might.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:35 am
See, I might have more sympathy for Kevin if the article was just a “btw, there’s a rally.” But in fact he called Sam Johnson a “great example” and implies that he knows Sam’s motives — Sam is “fed up with lying politicians”. To be honest, the article sounds like Kevin may have actually done some journalism and, you know, talked to the guy on the phone or something. But I guess that would be too much to expect. If he had talked with Sam, maybe he would’ve thought to ask about Sam’s motivation/background?
October 28th, 2009 at 9:53 am
“And I would hardly count simply giving an event publicity as an ‘endorsement’.”
Are you in the habit of publicizing events about which you have no opinion?
I wouldn’t exactly count it as a condemnation.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Jeff –
“…stop openly associating with the guilty”
Your logic here is as faulty here as your original fallacy (which I tried to point out but is apparently lost on you so here is some help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy)
I’ll summarize Jeff’s position: “Stop being guilty of my bad logic and I’ll stop using it”
It comes as no surprise to me that this blog rarely has anything intelligent to say on the issues when it’s (sic) author cannot think logically. He therefore constantly falls into the trap of constant ad hominem attacks.
Like I said – I Look forward to the next one, which I am sure I will not keep me waiting.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:28 am
I’ve posted information about rallies on BOTH sides of the illegal immigration issue dozens of times in my blogging life. This was another one of them.
And way to strip everything of it’s context there Daphne. When I used the phrase great example and talked about his motives, it was an reference to grassroots activism. None of the news articles I read about the rally at the time made any indication of his other beliefs.
Simply that it was a illegal immigration rally and as far as I knew he was not affiliated with any of the anti-illegal immigration groups I was aware of.
It also occurs to me to point out that all this evidence you use to indicate I should have known Sam Johnson’s Nazi beliefs was posted several months AFTER I put up my post.
But heh, why let that stop you from making libelous accusations about my personal beliefs and those of my friends.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Jeff Fecke, you are absolutely disgraceful.
You are sic [sic].
October 28th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Kevin, your last post is a load of rubbish. If you are going to lie (“why,it was just another post from one of BOTH sides of the illegal immigration issue”) at least make it hard to be detected.
Look at the screenshot: “So Sam Johnson and his supporters need your help to rally the people necessary to stand against illegal immigration. South Eastern Minesota has become a battleground on this issue and the public needs to know that they don’t have to just stand by and let their towns be overrun as a result of apathy from both Washington DC and St. Paul”
That’s the context, Kevin. This was a call to join in, not just a random posting on a topic of interest. It is an insult to our collective intelligence to claim otherwise.
BTW, what did you think “nsmsoutheasternmn” stood for in his e-mail address?
October 28th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Oh, Mitch – how soon you forget. Was it only two years ago that you were painting all who wanted to protest at the RNC as anarchists and loonies and violent goons bent on destruction of all that is good and American and warning all of those to your political left of their personal responsibility to “tell their friends to behave” as the RNC convention approached?
http://tinyurl.com/ygb4tbs
Ah, those were the days, weren’t they?
October 28th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Excellent work, Jeff. And very sad that you are being called disgraceful for pointing out that Republican bloggers are promoting neo-Nazis.
October 28th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
so now that we know that Kevin Ecker did not know about Mr. Johnsons affiliations at the time and has recanted (but not ‘memory holed’) his original post – does anyone expect an apology from Mr. Feck for defamation and associating that defamation to every person ever associated with the True North Blog?
No Mr. Feck always assumes the worst about his political opponents, and no amount of evidence will convince him otherwise.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Yeah, I was calling people to participate in what I thought was an anti-illegal immigration rally. I’ve also called promoted pro-illegal immigration rallies.
What did I think “nsmsoutheasternmn” stood for? No idea to be honest. I’ve grown numb to what people put in their free email addresses. There are frequently filled with nicknames, acronyms and subtle references I just don’t understand.
Now if the email address has been “sam@nsmsoutheasternmn.org” or something like that, I would have done more research to determine what this organization was he was associated with. Otherwise it could mean any number of things, and I’m not prone to assuming the worst of people, unlike some others.
October 29th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Same ol crap. Go to any illegal immigration rally and you hear the racist and bigot talk. No one says anything until they are called on it. Same thing with the tea parties. Same thing with last few McCain Palin rallies. Same thing with almost any rally the Right puts on. Seems for some strange reason Republicans beliefs, match up nicely with racists and bigots.
Tell Mitch to blog on that.

I’ll say it again:
“Seems for some reason Republicans beliefs, match up nicely with racists and bigots.”
Immigration is just one issue and its too easy. Every month we hear news of a Republican staffers and elected officials in Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and California for four consecutive months were caught sending racist emails about the President. In Louisiana, the election of the national Chair of the Young Republicans is caught up in a racist scandal- still she was elected.
Tea Party attendees are shouting racist things from the crowd, NEVER once did any of the speakers, including Republican elected officials, say a word about it or about the offensive racist signs. They only had excuses afterwards when called on it.
Same thing at some of the health care debates.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Actually, the reasons are not so strange. Its pretty obvious and its decades old leading back to the Southern Strategy.

Checking facts are not strong objectives for GOP operatives. As long as the rhetoric is hateful and divisive, it’s good enough for them.
Stay classy Kevin ;)
November 1st, 2009 at 5:26 am
[...] it hadn’t been for Jeff Fecke of the blog Moderate Left then this man’s rally would have gone ahead while being endorsed by a Minnesota conservative [...]
November 1st, 2009 at 10:33 pm
This is the end result of the Southern Strategy, folks. Remember how, less than a decade ago, the GOP was talking about how strong it was with Hispanics? That got snuffed once the anti-immigrant forces — who were empowered by the Republicans’ embrace of the Southern Strategy — started throwing elbows, and the GOP ditched its efforts at serious Latino outreach rather than offend the Joe Arpaio/Dick Day crowd.
Just to remind everyone that the Southern Strategy (as Kevin Phillips called the GOP effort to link cutting taxes — and thus social programs — to screwing over black people in Southern and other voters’ minds) is deeply embedded into the GOP playbook, if not psyche, here are the words of Reagan Revolution strategist Lee Atwater
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:29 am
This is the perpetual problem with the left – call your opponent names and let the facts be damned.
Anyone who questions if the Left can defend their policies with intelligence rather than feeling need simply to read this post and the comments. It’s simply amazing how you can collectively convince yourselves that the right is evil therefore you need not address the issues. Just watch how the more facts are brought up by the right the more the left screams: ‘racism!’ ‘Southern Strategy!’
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:39 am
… and I love the last few liberal poster’s logic: “we wouldn’t accuse you of being racist if you weren’t so racist!”
It’s a wonder they don’t teach logic in school anymore.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:15 pm
“Was kann nicht sein, darf nicht sein” as the Germans say. (“What cannot be, may not be.”)
Your comment, Franklin, begs the question: what are the facts? This is what I see: the Southern Strategy is a fact. It is a fact that points to racist motivation, in particular regarding the anti-Obama hysteria evident among rightists. It is not the only fact, just as racism is not the only motivation but amongst your victimization bellyaching I see little attempt to establish a separate set of facts. I see only “how dare you call me racist” denials, which become less convincing every day. At any rate, I’m not calling you racist personally. I don’t know you beyond this comment and maybe a few others you’ve posted here. But I will say this: hostility toward immigrants (illegal or otherwise) is manifestly based in racism. Why else would conservatives oppose the presence of hard-working religious conservatives who on the whole benefit the economy?
Anti-Obama hysteria is likewise. What else could send rightists into such hysteria over a moderate Democrat sitting in the White House? What is all this nonsense about his place of birth about if not race?
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
tom –
whether the ‘southern strategy’ is or is not fact is immaterial. The question at hand was: Is Kevin Ecker and everyone associated with ‘True North’ (then even the entire conservative movement by an even more irrational extension) a racist based on a particular linked post. to which the following relevant facts were presented:
1)Guilt by association is a fallacy
2)Mr. Ecker’s original post was 4 months prior to Mr. Johnson’s affiliations were made known.
3)Mr. Ecker has since retracted the post and his support for the rally.
#1 absolves everyone except Mr. Ecker from such leftist racist slandering
#2 and #3 indicate that you either think mr ecker is a liar or he is not a racist. and as no evidence has been put forward to indicate he is a liar, the default position should (imo) be that he is not.
(…but then again he is a conservative and you’re default position is probably that he is a liar until evidence proves him not to be one)
as it stands Jeff Fecke should apoligize for his slander, yet I am still wating for that.
finally one can be against (even hysterically against) a liberal (not moderate in any sense of the word) democrat without being racist. The fact that I even need to say that is astounding.
Never, ever has there been more hysteria against a president than GW Bush, was that racism too?
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:42 pm
tom
“hostility toward immigrants (illegal or otherwise) is manifestly based in racism.”
This is a profoundly ignorant or intellectually dishonest statement and is a prime example of what I mean by liberals not using logic to debate the issues. you cannot defend your arguments using anything other than appeals to emotion.
How unfortunate it is that no one would even be able to have a rational discussion on immigration with you.
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Franklin, bud, I think that by being so logical you have logically shown that you not only espouse but defend the tenets of racism. Dammit, I wish English hadn’t been my second language. Were it otherwise, I prolly could have expressed myself not only better, but with more succinctiness.
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I had never heard of True North before this incident and have nothing in particular to say about that blog. Jeff can defend his own statements (or not). Off the top of my head, I couldn’t even say who this Mr. Ecker is.
Never has there been more hysteria than that directed at George W. Bush? Right. Tell me another one. Right now you have senators espousing conspiracy theories, you have an entire news channel dedicated to comparing Obama to Hitler, you have congressional candidates snuggling up to nutballs like Glenn Beck (who is hysterical in the fullest meaning of the word). Why? Because he wants to reform health care.
W. started a couple of wars. He allowed and encouraged torture. He spent all the money he didn’t have and more without a thought for the future. Don’t tell me these situations are equivalent. They are not. It’s not all about race. We all know rightists blew their stack over Clinton too. But nobody ever wondered whether Clinton may have been born in Moscow.
You aren’t even trying to have a rational discussion, so don’t preach to me about enlightened discourse. Show me your rationality and I will respond in kind.
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
jesus -
judge not lest you be judged. (and I am sorry you we are unable to communicate better)
tom -
at the risk of beating a dead horse: The topic WAS mr. Ecker and True North. Not Obama, Fox news, Glen Beck GW or the birthers. so, no, I am NOT trying to have a rational discussion on those things because it is all a distraction which you seem to bring up more red hearings with every post (and I apologize for indulging in your red herrings on my last post – it is difficult for me to just let those things go)
I am trying to help you understand how slanderous this blog post was and use this as an example to show how the left has a tendency to 1) assume the worst about the right and 2) use emotion and name calling rather than logic an facts to win arguments.
If you can actually show me a flaw in my logic then by all means do so, but simply calling something irrational does not make it so.
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
I’ll let Jeff speak for himself. As for Ecker, he is at least guilty of talking up something he didn’t know enough about. That is, if it isn’t racist, it is at least sloppy.
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:58 am
Well, get viral pneumonia, start sleeping 24 hours a day, come back to life and find an active discussion going on my site. Always nice.
Kevin, if you hadn’t painted this Nazi as a fine, upstanding American, I’d buy your argument. But you did. You personally vouched for what a swell guy he was. That you could talk to a Neo-Nazi about his plans for an anti-immigration rally and not come away with klaxons ringing really says all that needs to be said about the current state of the GOP vis a vis hatred.
And Mitch? If I’ve personally vouched for any Neo-Nazis in the past, please, let me know. Because I deserve all the brickbats that can be steered my way. Generally speaking, I don’t praise people who traffic in hatred (indeed, look back around 2003, and you’ll find me being pretty hard on the A.N.S.W.E.R. folks who were supporting anti-war rallies — I don’t much care for radicals of either stripe). I’m sure I’ve linked to an idiot in my day — we all have. But I doubt strongly that I’ve ever stated that a Nazi was a fine American. That’s something Kevin can’t claim.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Jeff -
Nowhere did keven personally vouch for sam johnson, nor can I find any reference to keven speaking to him (not would that matter your claim that one MUST know if someone is a NAZI or other affiliation by a single conversation is dubious at best, and frankly I am surprised you even said it – clearly you are grasping at straws to defend yourself rather than apologizing for slander).
you’re simply even more off your rocker than usual on this one and your claim that you’d “…love not to be pointing out the hatred coming from the Republican party these days” is clearly unfounded by any objective standard.
January 17th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Jeff-
Just stumbled onto this website looking at over 10,000 websites dedicated or at least talking about hatred of George W Bush. It is all liberal democrats who write or comment. Much like what you say and think and spew is peices of truths which you then put back together as you see fit.
The reality that some know is that liberals, not conservatives are the true hate mongers of our society. Yes there are neo nazis and yes they leech onto republicans but you are the one linking it to things that are not actually fact.
I am currently compiling a list of websites, blogs and interviews all found with a simple search of “hatred for Bush”. You should do some actual research, check some of that out and then write something that doesnt stink of more hatred, lies and honestly just being too lazy to form your own informed opinion. Ill link the blog later this week. Cheers!

SELECTIVE MEMORY
Today more then ever white Americans and the white control media has selective memory! Ron Reagan the youngest son of former President Ronald Reagan in his new book stated that President Reagan suffer from Alzheimer during the second term as President! If anyone has been reading my posts! I have been stating that forever. I remember Diane Sawyer interview with the late and former President Reagan. Several times during the interview she had to be stop because the former President lost his thought and COULD NOT answer Ms. Sawyer questions! The country witness this on Good Morning America”! Somehow America has selective memory! Remember OJ and the civil trail after the trail was over the media interview the jurors! A white female juror stated that she prayed to serve as juror to help the Brown and Goldman. A clear violation of a juror and should had evoked a mis-trail! But once again the white control judicial system has selective hearing! A 20-year-old black Lakeland man is facing two years in prison for writing a rap song called “Kill Me a Cop”. Antavio Johnson, who was on probation, has been sentenced to two years in prison after the song was discovered on a MySpace Web site. The Polk County Attorney’s Office charged Johnson with two counts of corruption by threat of a public servant.
Although the lyrics are offensive to many people, the head of the Tampa Office of the American Civil Liberties Union, Rebecca Steele, says she believes the song is protected speech under the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Also I must add that Mr. Johnson didn’t kill anyone and no cop died as a result of his song! Then there is Sarah Palin who put a map with crosshairs that target the very district 20 people living in the target area was shot. Six shot dead and 14 injure! Sarah Palin call the left wing media wrong for associating her action with the murder of the people in Arizona! Unlike Mr. Johnson Ms. Palin is not charge with NOTHING! But her map target the district where 20 people where shot 6 are dead!

The idiot Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is preparing for a rebuttal to Pres. Obama’s State of the Union speech . She’ll speak on behalf of the racist Tea Party caucus. But it’s another speech she gave on Friday that has a lot of people talking, where she flubbed the facts on U.S. History. We’re Keeping Them Honest. Plus, see why the folks behind the hit TV show “Mad Men” are being added to our ‘RidicuList’. This idiot while Americans are fighting and dying is speaking against the country and President Obama! It is an outrage and a insult to minority American troop fighting and dying in two wars! Only to find out that when they return home to the United State a innocent UNARMED 7 year old black American citizen! Can be burn and shot to death by white American police officers. American troop will return to the United State to find that a 72 year old white senior citizen can be taser by a cop and knock to the ground and threaten to be taser again! All because she refuse to sign a ticket! Or a pregnant black woman driving her 7 year old child to school. Less then a block away she is stop for speeding she also refuse to sign the ticket! She was pulled out of her car taser three times while her son looked on screaming! They will return to find that three police officer kick in the door of a 92 year old senior citizen then shot her 6 time and shoot at her 39 killing her! Then planted drugs in her home and a gun in her hand. After finding out the WRONG home was raid! They will return to find out that in Philly cops can be caught on videotape beating and kicking and calling 4 INNOCENT American citizen racist slurs and are given a slap on the hand and a party paid by union fund! AGAIN… While American troops are fighting and dying for the liberation and human rights of Iraqi citizen. In America when and if they return they will find if they live in Arizona they will need papers to walk ,drive a car to live in their country. They will find that DWH( driving while Hispanic) is a way of life for Hispanic American citizen! They will also find that in Arizona ethnic study is not allowed in Arizona schools! If they are returning to Texas they will find that the school administration is changing American history to reflect a more conservative history! American troops will find a anti-American Tea Party full of hatred of the government FOR NO REASON other then the fact their is a black President! They will find that racist like Rand Paul want to re-write history and change the Civil Right Bill giving private company the right to keep black Americans OUT! They will find that a Governor Palin the idiot that quit her job is a spokesperson for a racist group attacking the President job and his administration. They will return to find that Fox News is attacking with hatred the United State of America and the President Of the United State daily! Just like the terrorist they are fighting oversea! Again all this is happening while American troops are fighting for the United State of America! SHAME ON US ALL FOR NOT BEING OUTRAGE!

Michele Bachmann the IDIOT!!!
Talk about pure stupid and total ignorance about American history Congresswoman Michele Marie Bachmann and Republican Sarah Palin. Give all white women a horrible name! Michele Bachmann in her response to President Obama “ Nation Address” mis-stated American history about American Founding Fathers! For her information former President Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner and pure racist! Jefferson disliked seeing women take political roles, Historian Richard Morris wrote, “Abigail Adams excepted, Jefferson detested intellectual women. Annoyed by the political chatter of women in Parisian salons, he wrote home expressing the hope that ‘our good ladies … are contented to soothe and calm the minds of their husbands returning ruffled from political debate.’” While President, Jefferson wrote that “The appointment of a woman to office is an innovation for which the public is not prepared, nor am I. According to historian Stephen Ambrose: “Jefferson, like all slaveholders and many other white members of American society, regarded Negroes as inferior, childlike, untrustworthy and, of course, as property.
Jefferson published his views that blacks were inferior to whites in his book, Notes on the State of Virginia, saying blacks were inferior “in the endowments both of body and mind.” ! Supervising and owning hundreds of slaves, including their children, Jefferson believed that blacks were equal to lazy animals and were inferior to whites in reasoning, mathematical comprehension, and imagination. This was Jefferson’s rationalization for their condition of slavery. In effect, Jefferson believed that the difference between blacks and whites was “fixed in nature”, and was not dependent on their freedom or education.
Jefferson could see no way for African Americans to live in American society as free people, saying “Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. [But] the two races…cannot live in the same government.” For a long-term solution Jefferson believed that slaves should be freed then deported to African colonies. Otherwise, he feared war and that in his words, “human nature must shudder at the prospect held up. We should in vain look for an example in the Spanish deportation or deletion of the Moors. This precedent would fall far short of our case.”[

RACIAL HATRED AND THE EFFECTS
It is so obvious that the racial history of America is always present when the white control media talks about President Obama accomplishments! Nobody is willing state that fact because it is ugly and sick! BUT TURE!!!! Especially given that fact that the effects of this recession if effecting the poor and the middleclass! In other words it’s time for good white people to stand up and speak out against hate and divide! Today I heard that jobs are on the rise for America. More jobs create then in the pass 50 years …BUT and there is always a BUT! Then it’s always something negative reported by the white control media to belittle that progress! BP oil spill had nothing to do with President Obama’s administration BUT anything and everything negative was reported by the white control media and associate with President Obama administration! Their was hardly no reporting on the fact that President Obama negotiated. What was a 75 million cap for recovery to a 20 billion dollar recovery plan with BP! Then it’s the stimulus package that save the country and unemployment from shooting up to 13.5 unemployment! The Republican President and Republican congress create the problems that President Obama is fixing! BUT the white control media and that Republican Party has demonize all President Obama’s accomplishments and efforts! Hate and divide and white racism must stop ruling over GOD’s earth! It was his gift to all of us!

PROTECTING EVIL
Both the “HBO” special REAGAN” and the documentary on “PBS” The American Experience. That documented the Reagan Presidency! LIED! Or told half truths! Shamefully both neglected to tell that former President Reagan and Oliver North sold drugs to support the Contras! August, 1996, series in the San Jose Mercury News by reporter Gary Webb linked the origins of crack cocaine in California to the contras, a guerrilla force backed by the Reagan administration that attacked Nicaragua’s Sandinista government during the 1980s. Webb’s series, “The Dark Alliance,” has been the subject of intense media debate, and has focused attention on a foreign policy drug scandal that leaves many questions unanswered.
This electronic briefing book is compiled from declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive, including the notebooks kept by NSC aide and Iran-contra figure Oliver North, electronic mail messages written by high-ranking Reagan administration officials, memos detailing the contra war effort, and FBI and DEA reports. The documents demonstrate official knowledge of drug operations, and collaboration with and protection of known drug traffickers. Court and hearing transcripts are also included. Both “HBO” and PBS left that part of history out!
