As the old saying goes, Karma is a female dog. An angry and ironic one, that is.

Well, the self-anointed closet racists at NBC (home of the All-White Network, MSLSD) have stepped into that dog’s societal poop yet again. and in a deliciously ironic way.

Needles to say, if this has been any GOP, conservative group or even FOX News for that matter, we would never hear the end of it. Al Sharpton would need a Port-a-Potty to keep up with all of the time he would be spending outside of the company offices of said organization, and probably a Sucrets as well, while he was spouting out his racial Allah-Akburs.

So who at NBC thought it would be a good idea for the special today to be, among other things, fried chicken, “in honor of Black History Month”?

Because, spoiler alert – it wasn’t a good idea at all. And now NBCU employee Questlove is bringing it to the attention of his 1 million plus Twitter followers.

Questlove, the band leader and drummer for The Roots (the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) tweeted this picture from the NBC Commissary at 30 Rock, with the comment: “Hmm HR?”

They might as well have added watermelon to the menu and a minstrel show.

Best comment – Southpaw @ Michelle Malkin

Do they serve pinnekjøtt,fenalår, svinneribbe or Julskinke on Scandinavian Day?

Wait….they don’t have Scandinavian Day, do they?

Racists

Just when you think it cannot get any better, along comes two more good pieces of news. One small, one huge.

From Pipe Line News: (Hat Tip: Free Conservatives)

January 21, 2010 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – In a remarkably powerful way the U.S. Supreme Court has struck a huge and far reaching blow in support of the First Amendment, overturning significant aspects of previous “campaign finance reform” legislation, declaring it unconstitutional.

The 5-4 Decision written by justice Kennedy struck down a key provision in McCain Feingold, the onerous legislation passed during GW Bush’s first term, which many on the right considered unconstitutional at the time as well as the 1990 Austin decision.

The specific case deals with a campaign documentary generated by the non-profit Citizens United which was critical of then candidate Hillary Clinton.

Fearful that the campaign piece might be violative of McCain Feingold, Citizens sought declaratory and injunctive relief to avoid potential criminal and civil penalties.

The DC District Court decided against the plaintiff and from there it was appealed to the SCOTUS which today ruled in favor of Citizens, overturning the District Court decision.

While it is disquieting that the ruling was only 5-4, a win is still a win. Since the chances of Obama being re-elected to second term and naming more Wise Latinas and other Assorted Marxists to the court are about as good as Michael Moore running the Boston Marathon in record time,

The other piece is of less consequence, but no less satisfying.

From The Washington Post: (Hat Tip: Free Conservatives)

Air America, the talk-radio network that helped boost the careers of liberals Al Franken and Rachel Maddow, said Thursday it was going out of business.

In a statement to employees of the New York-based network, Air America’s chairman, Charlie Kireker, wrote: “It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

“The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America’s business. This past year has seen a ‘perfect storm’ in the media industry generally. . . . In this climate, our painstaking search for new investors has come close several times right up into this week, but ultimately fell short of success.”

Ummmm…a “difficult economic environment”? It sure does not seem to be affecting the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Mark Levin et al. Then again, they do not have to pay for radio stations to carry their shows because of zero advertising and audience. Nor did they have to steal ten of thousands of dollars from needy New York children and the elderly in order to operate. (Someone needs to put Franken under oath and have him explain where all of that loot went to)

From their statement: (Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin)

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America’s business. This past year has seen a “perfect storm” in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry’s long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.

Those companies that remain are facing audience fragmentation as a result of new media technologies, are often saddled with crushing debt, and have generally found it difficult to obtain operating or investment capital from traditional sources of funding. In this climate, our painstaking search for new investors has come close several times right up into this week, but ultimately fell short of success.

With radio industry ad revenues down for 10 consecutive quarters, and reportedly off 21% in 2009, signs of improvement have consisted of hoping things will be less bad. And though Internet/new media revenues are projected to grow, our expanding online efforts face the same monetization and profitability challenges in the short term confronting the Web operations of most media companies

When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation’s history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as “un-American” — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.

Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and a strongly Democratic Congress.

And a small amount of noise pollution has removed from the environment. That is the type of “green” I can support.

Mr. President, what about those job, jobs, jobs? Unemployment just went up. Again.

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. After all, the Left’s political gangrape of Sarah Palin cannot take a breather for more than a few days or weeks at a time. However, this is so pathetic, that even a 5 year old would laugh at the immaturity of it all.

From EW.com (Hat Tip: Sister Toldjah)

We know that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin can hunt, and even field-dress a moose, but how will she take to poachers on her book sales? Start-up publisher OR Books has announced plans to publish Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare, a collection of essays about the maverick Republican with a title — and cover design — remarkably similar to Palin’s upcoming memoir. What’s more, OR’s paperback tome will be released on Nov. 17, the same day that Palin’s own Going Rogue: An American Life hits shelves — and one day after Palin’s just-announced, first-ever appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s show. (A shout-out to Ron Hogan at GalleyCat for the tip.)

Going Rouge is compiled by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, two top editors of the left-leaning weekly The Nation, and includes essays by Nation regulars like Katrina vanden Heuvel, Naomi Klein, and Katha Pollitt. It’s the first release from OR Books, a fledgling outfit founded earlier this year by publishing veterans John Oakes and Colin Robinson that “embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business,” according to its website.

Book Covers (real one of the right)

Ed Morrisey comments:

Would “the most honest account” have to be wrapped in a deceptive cover, intended to confuse consumers into buying the wrong book? If it doesn’t start out with an honest approach, why should we trust that the same people who made that decision will be honest inside the covers? For an answer to that, we only need see the list of essayists included in this rehash of old Palin-opposing material, who include such straight-arrow observers as Amanda Marcotte, Max Blumenthal, Eve Ensler, and Jane Hamsher. Hamsher made her biggest political splash when she put Joe Lieberman in blackface during his re-election campaign. Marcotte got fired from the Edwards campaign for her vilification of religious believers in language bad enough to actually embarrass Edwards — and given Edwards’ history, that’s saying something indeed.

The whole thing looks like a bad Mad Magazine takeoff of a book, which is the impression that The Nation leaves with its Going Rouge cheapie. And the bottom line is this: after 150 years of publication, The Nation has to piggyback off of a Republican VP candidate to achieve relevance. Have The Nation’s editors become so insecure about their product that they feel they can only sell it through deception? In that, it has a lot in common with their progressive agenda.

The Left has become nothing more than a baby with eternally full diapers and the mental capacity to match. The only problem is that they are the ones at the wheel.

With all of the vitriol and verbal terrorism coming out of the Left’s mouths over the last several weeks on such earth-shattering subjects such as whether Rush Limbaugh is allowed to buy an NFL team or whether pointing out the very red color of the latest health care charade, one subject has slipped under the radar recently. That being the legal status of the President to serve in office.

Fortunately for us, two unlikely sources, the AP and Obama himself, have taken up the cause, even if retroactively and so it rises up from the usual political muck again.

From The Post and Email blog site comes word that in 2004, an AP story claimed that Obama was a proud, self-declared natural-born citizen of Kenya.

To wit, from their site:

What most people know is that the Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest, internationally recognized, syndicated news services. What most people don’t know that is in 2004, the AP was a “birther” news organization.

How so? Because in a syndicated report, published Sunday, June 27, 2004, by the Kenyan Standard Times, and which was, as of this report, available at

http://web.archive.org/web/20040627142700/eastandard.net/headlines/news26060403.htm

The AP reporter stated the following:

“Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.”

This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office. Seeing that an AP reporter is too professional to submit a story which was not based on confirmed sources (ostensibly the Obama campaign in this case), the inference seems inescapable: Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.

As the author of the post notes, Google as usual, is trying its best to thwart efforts to find the 2004 AP story in question. As he says…

because if you search for “Kenyan-born US Senate” you wont find it, but if you search for the phrase without quotes you will find links which talk about it.

Thankfully, there is still a screenshot of the Kenyan Sunday Standard, electronic edition, dated June 27, 2004 that carries the headline and opening sentence of “Kenyan-born Obama all set for U.S. Senate”.

Certainly eyebrow-raising, if nothing else. As the Chinese curse goes, “May you live in interesting times”.

For more, including a chronological breakdown of the differing claims of birthplace from Obama and/or his campaigns, go to Post and Email blog site.

Another day, another outrage.

Not that this latest puke reporting is it at all surprising, since we no longer have a news media in this country. Outside of a few brave souls and hard working reporters in the field, the so called MSM has become little more than a used up street whore, 10 day old makeup caked to her hair, breath as bad as sewage treatment plant and varicose veins running up and down her legs and with every STD in between them. Desperate to stay relevant in today’s society, they clan together in their own informational crackhouses, smoking their bongs and pipes that come in the flavors of Marx, Lenin, Chavez, Mao and Obama. They share such an enclave with the vermin and the roaches, but even those critters stop to clean themselves whenever they come in close contact with such filth.

As has been reported by many today, the AP, defying the the requests of a Marine’s family and the personal request of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, went ahead published a photo of Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard of New Portland, Maine, as he lay dying.

From Politico: (Hat Tip: Black Five and Michelle Malkin)

Defense Secretary Robert Gates is objecting “in the strongest terms” to an Associated Press decision to transmit a photograph showing a mortally wounded 21-year-old Marine in his final moments of life, calling the decision “appalling” and a breach of “common decency.”

The AP reported that the Marine’s father had asked – in an interview and in a follow-up phone call — that the image, taken by an embedded photographer, not be published.

The AP reported in a story that it decided to make the image public anyway because it “conveys the grimness of war and the sacrifice of young men and women fighting it.”

The photo shows Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard of New Portland, Maine, who was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade in a Taliban ambush Aug. 14 in Helmand province of southern Afghanistan, according to The AP.

Gates wrote to Thomas Curley, AP’s president and chief executive officer. “Out of respect for his family’s wishes, I ask you in the strongest of terms to reconsider your decision. I do not make this request lightly. In one of my first public statements as Secretary of Defense, I stated that the media should not be treated as the enemy, and made it a point to thank journalists for revealing problems that need to be fixed – as was the case with Walter Reed.”

“I cannot imagine the pain and suffering Lance Corporal Bernard’s death has caused his family. Why your organization would purposefully defy the family’s wishes knowing full well that it will lead to yet more anguish is beyond me. Your lack of compassion and common sense in choosing to put this image of their maimed and stricken child on the front page of multiple American newspapers is appalling. The issue here is not law, policy or constitutional right – but judgment and common decency.”

Now, as if having the largest wire service in the country publishing this photo and having it blasted all over newspapers and sites that carry AP was not bad enough, one of their fellow proxies and a true vaginal wart on the body of the blogosphere, the Huffington Post, has decided to publish in Malkin’s words, “reprinting a massively large version of the image on its front page with an accompanying blog commentary praising the AP photographer’s work as ‘tasteful”. I can just see the lefties there now, getting orgasms and hard-ons just mentally jacking off to such an image. Just as many of these mouth breathing, sewer dwellers have been doing for over 40 years. The types that only want to see the American flag when it is draped over the coffin of a fallen hero or being burned by some Code Pink hermaphrodite.

I will not pollute my blog by giving the link and the traffic to such a vile and loathsome site. You can either go to Malkin’s site and click there or go the H&P home page. I am sure they now have it as their site background image.
