Barack the Magic Negro, as a reminder, was first coined in the L.A. Times by a liberal asshat. No uproar then.

Here’s the Rush defending it.

As I unload on the One, remember the shit that the left has been doing for the past eight years:

And that’s a short list.

Now the left thinks that the office of the President is sacrosanct and above reproach now that the Magic Jug Eared Negro is about to assume his throne.

Get bent.

Check out Michelle Malkin’s site:

Gag-worthy: Bipartisan indignance over “Barack the Magic Negro” parody

Oh, give me a super-sized break.

Leftie ’60s leftover/songwriter Peter Yarrow at the Huffington Post fumes over the “Barack the Magic Negro” parody that has RNC candidate Chip Saltsman in hot water.

All of sudden — after eight years of “F**k Bush” bumper stickers and “Kill Bush” assassination chic and Bush-or-Chimp parodies — the left is concerned about insulting the office of the Presidency?

Now, they are concerned with protecting the dignity of the office and with forging “commong ground and mutual respect?”

Calvin and Hobbs

Calvin and Hobbes. It was a staple for me when I was stationed in Germany in the early 80s.

They had this bailout/subsidizing thing pegged then:

Is the War in Iraq Over?

Is the war in Iraq over? Haven’t heard a word from the One’s slobbering minions.

Check out Blackfive:

I Guess this means the War is Over…

Look at the Old Media running for the first plane out….

The United States’ three top broadcast television networks have quietly stopped sending full-time correspondents to Iraq, industry watchers say.

“The war has gone on longer than a lot of news organizations’ ability or appetite to cover it,” said Jane Arraf, a former Baghdad bureau chief for CNN who has remained in Iraq as a contract reporter for The Christian Science Monitor.

My guess is that the second statement has a lot more in it that is veiled than most people would recognize.  I ran the words “ability or appetite” through my Old Media Language Transmogrifier and came up with “Ability” most likely means, with viewer-ship continuing to drop like a stone and Advert revenue being spent in markets and on media that people actually watch and see; the Old Media likely have a great deal less money to spend to cover the bar tabs and security details for the propagandists who run around Iraq looking for the next “victim” of US Forces.

I keep wondering what it is that black folks see in the Democrat Party. It never made sense to me, except for the entitlement aspect, most stances that the Democrats hold are contrary to the normal ideals that I hear expressed by blacks.


In fact, if they actually sat down and looked at the issues and what Democrats really stand for, they wouldn’t vote for them lock, stock, and barrel in every election since FDR. Democrats love the homosexuals. Blacks are generally, about 70%, or so against it. This includes the marriage issue. There are a host of other issues that blacks tend to not agree with Democrats, yet they keep voting for them in droves.

Read Star’s essay for more detail.

The awkward co-dependence of blacks and liberal Democrats
By Star Parker

What does Caroline Kennedy have in common with black America? If your answer is not much, I’d tend to agree with you.

When I think of Caroline, I think of Manhattan and Park Avenue, not the Bronx and Brooklyn. I think of Brentwood and Beverly Hills, not Watts and South Central Los Angeles.

But there is something that Caroline and black America do have in common. The Democratic Party.

Whether Kennedy succeeds in her effo rt to slide into Hillary Clinton’s soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat will have little to do with her Democratic Party bona fides. Per her policy positions ticked off the other day, she is in perfect and predictable liberal alignment with party boilerplate. If she fails, it will be for reasons other than her views.

So what exactly is the common political ground that Kennedy bluebloods share with the 90 percent of America’s blacks who vote for Democrats?

A careful look shows the deep internal contradictions of the Democratic Party and the complexity of the political psyche of black Americans.
