The mainstream media has bent over backwards to portray Trayvon Martin as a choir boy who couldn't have possibly been at fault and George Zimmerman as a malicious racist who was bent on killing him for no reason whatsoever. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to square with the facts we've learned since then. That doesn't mean George Zimmerman is now the good guy and Trayvon Martin is the bad guy or that Zimmerman shouldn't have to go on trial; it just means the whole case is a lot more ambiguous than it appeared to be at first glance.

George Zimmerman doesn't appear to be a racist, he MAY HAVE had good cause to shoot Trayvon Martin, and Martin is not the angel he's being portrayed as in the press. Pointing this out isn't a "smear campaign;" it's journalism.

Towards that end, Trayvon Martin's Twitter account, which was deleted after his death, no doubt because it made him look perfectly awful, has now surfaced. What follows is a more current picture of Trayvon Martin and 20 of his tweets that stuck out. Under normal circumstances, these tweets wouldn't be all that important, but given the media narrative, which is that Martin was a harmless little cherub who was pursued and killed for no other reason than because he was black, it's worth noting that there might be a lot more to the story.

That story starts with the name of his Twitter account, "No_Limit_N*gga" (I put an asterisk in there that's not in the actual name to keep it from showing up in search engines). The tweets come courtesy of the Daily Caller.

Having read through all 150 pages, most of them seem to be Trayvon chatting with his friends and talking about women. The tweets and retweets don't reference any gang activity, don't seem to be violent, or talk up criminal activity other than drug use. On the other hand, Martin does make a number of references to drugs and he has a very misogynistic attitude, which, in all fairness, wouldn't seem to have a lot of relevance to the confrontation between him and George Zimmerman. As to the significance of these Tweets, many of which are retweets that apparently caught Trayvon's eye, and the picture they paint, you can decide for yourself. (All asterisks are mine).

Trayvon Martin: Punk... Thug... Drug User?  You Make The Call

Trayvon Martin, Burglary Tools, and PCP-style Drug Cocktails

 
National media ignored some of the most significant aspects of the tragic Martin-Zimmerman case, among them Martin's suspected involvement with burglary, PCP-like drug cocktails, and/or drug dealing.
Burglary Tools:

Trayvon Martin's phone was full of text messages, pictures and videos suggestive of drugs, violence and criminal behavior. [According to the Miami Herald,] Trayvon Martin was on his third suspension from school [and t]here is evidence Trayvon Martin had burglarized homes and/or school lockers:

In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area "hiding and being suspicious." Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with "W.T.F" — an acronym for "what the f—." The officer said he found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker. Instead the officer reported he found women's jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a "burglary tool" ...

Word of the incident came as the family's lawyer acknowledged that the boy was suspended in February for getting caught with an empty bag with traces of marijuana [and his] backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds. Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend. "Martin replied it's not mine. A friend gave it to me," he responded, according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend. Trayvon was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to the report. School police impounded the jewelry and sent photos of the items to detectives at Miami-Dade police for further investigation...

...That suspension was followed four months later by another one in February, in which Trayvon was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it. A schools police report obtained by The Miami Herald specifies two items: a bag with marijuana residue and a "marijuana pipe."

Drug Use:

There are a series of compelling articles on the web that describe Martin's alleged abuse of a powerful, home-made PCP-like drug called "Lean" (also known as "Skittles"). Its reported side-effects can include breaks with reality, extreme paranoia and fits of violence.

One of the most painstakingly documented summaries is excerpted below:

Several weeks ago, as further information and discovery came to the surface the whole framing of the original media narrative began to crumble, I stumbled over a reference to "DXM" in Trayvon's Facebook history... As I use these Facebook discussions from Trayvon I'm going to correct the [grammar] unless it seems necessary to reference directly to the source...


"unow a connect for codine" or

"do you know of a connection for codeine"?

Our first question then becomes "What exactly is "lean""? According to Urban Dictionary, "Lean" is described as follows:

"... 6. Lean is a mixed drink originating in the Southern Rap culture. It is a mixture of Promethazine and Codeine cough syrup and a soft drink such as Sprite (usually). While other soft drinks may be used, Sprite was the original. [And now also Arizona Watermelon for Watermelon Drank/Lean]

There are some variations of Lean. For example, Promethazine and Codeine syrup is usually Purple in color. But there are other colors of syrup that work the same way. There is a golden-colored syrup (hydrocodone based) and other colors as well.

Lean slows you down. It makes you feel good. It's meant to be sipped on, and it taste damn good. One of the best feelings you will ever experience. Euphoria with a hint of sedation. ..."

Lean is also the drug mixture that killed Pimp C...

OK, so now we know Trayvon is seeking a source for a powerful cough syrup, commonly used in the "drug culture or circle" to make an intoxicating drink called "Lean" – also known as the infamous "purple drank/Purple Lean/Lean/Sizzurp."

Purple Lean, or Lean, is an intoxicating beverage also known by the names lean, sizzurp, and liquid codeine. It is commonly abused by southern rappers and wannabe suburban teenagers. It is a mixture of Promethazine/Codeine cough syrup and sprite, or other beverage [such as Arizona Watermelon] with a few jolly ranchers and/or skittles thrown in.

There are your "DXM" "Watermelon Lean" Ingredients

Arizona Watermelon Juice purchased from 7-11 included in the Crime Scene Photographs and incorrectly listed/discussed as "Tea" by Benjamin Crump, the media, and even police reporting authorities.

Promethazine with codeine, consumed in such large amounts as is popular with such southern rappers as lil wayne, slim thug, and Big Moe, produces an opiate-like high that is potentiated by the Promethazine.

Promethazine by itself will not produce a high. The beverage must be sipped slowly, and not guzzled, in order to avoid unconsciousness and/or life threatening overdose.

But what does this have to do with Robitussin or "DXM"? Trayvon clarifies in his next message:

"codine is a higher dose of dxm"

......and further believes he can obtain the same high [as smoking pot] by drinking "Lean" . But that's not nearly as important as the fact that he's clearly under the impression that prescription Codine is a stronger form of the drug DXM found in various versions of cough suppressant or cough medications.

So, what then exactly is "DXM"?

"DXM" is an abbreviation for the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide — which is the active ingredient in the cough-syrup brand Robitussin.

According to numerous websites found with a search, DXM is increasingly being abused as a recreational drug. One of the more scholarly and scientific sites found with in-depth analysis of DXM and its various uses is "Erowid.org"... According to Erowid's "DXM Home Page":

DXM is a widely available over-the-counter cough suppressant. When taken far above its standard medical dosage, it is a strong dissociative used primarily by teens.

...Erowid begins to hint at DXM's seriousness in their "DXM Basics" discussion:

"...High doses ... are sometimes compared to the effects of other dissociatives such as PCP or ketamine..."

This stuff is compared to PCP ? This is no exaggeration! DXM in higher doses is actually a very volatile and dangerous drug, and they are quite right when they compare DXM to PCP and Ketamine!

In fact, the drug has come to be known in some circles as "Poor-Man's PCP!"

Perhaps more importantly, unlike marijuana and many other drugs of abuse, DXM does not cause sedation, and in fact can produce profound agitation hence the comparison to PCP. In the "DXM Basics – Problems" section, Erowid notes:

"...DXM causes physical and psychological effects that may be frightening or unpleasant... Psychological effects can include profound disorientation, depression, a feeling of personal disintegration, or a feeling of "unreality" and disconnection that may persist for days. Chronic use may cause depression, psychological dependency, and possibly brain damage. Large doses may be associated with psychotic breaks..."

...We know from his own words to his friends that Trayvon has used DXM as far back as June 2011... We [also] know from Trayvon's own words that he's experienced "lean" – and since he knows what DXM is – but thinks the promethazine/codeine cocktail is "a higher dose" then he's also experienced DXM, at least at a "lower plateau."

In answer to the question "What's the DXM Trip Like" the author says:

"Well, that depends on how much you take. There are four different kinds of experiences, based on the dosage; these are called plateaus.

The first plateau is a mild stimulant effect with a little bit of a buzz, and has been compared to MDA [a more psychedelic cousin of MDMA -aka-"Ecstasy"].

The second plateau is more intoxicating and has been compared to being drunk and stoned at the same time.

The third plateau is dissociative, like a lower dose of ketamine.

The fourth plateau is fully dissociative like a higher dose of ketamine.

You should not [emphasis original!] attempt higher plateau doses unless you have someone with you who can take care of you in case you get sick or freak out. It happens on DXM.

Many things can happen unexpectedly on upper plateaus, such as spontaneous memory recall, complex delusions, hallucinations, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, and perceived contact with spiritual or alien entities. You need to be pretty stable and grounded before you can handle these things".

...In the FAQ's section on "Psychotic Breaks" the author notes:

"...Be very careful in trying to restrain the tripper, since she or he may perceive this as a threat, and will probably be mostly immune to pain...the tripper, like a cornered animal, could beat the living sh** out of you without thinking twice. (!!) ..."

So, where does all of this lead? At this point, after reviewing all the information, it appears quite [possible] that a ... drug cocktail use specifically led to the mindset, or psychological environment, between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin on the night of February 26th.

The tone or hostility of the encounter, and Trayvon's response to being confronted, would more easily be understood against the backdrop of the discovery for his prior drug use; and more specifically the types of drugs being used.

...Trayvon was admittedly, according to his Facebook conversations, a user of DXM and Purple Drank/Lean since at least June 2011. He was also an admitted smoker of Marijuana which was found in both his urine and blood tests. His liver indicates the beginning stages of an unusual degrading known as "mild fatty metamorphasis", and his brain tissue appeared compromised, both conditions symptomatic of DXM use.

In addition he was suspended from school three times in the past seven months prior to the shooting for behavioral issues. He was detached from adult supervision at the time in question, in a relatively unfamiliar place, and according to his father Tracy Martin, grounded. His girlfriend describes their phone call as Trayvon being "paranoid".

Trayvon makes a trip to the store and buys two of the specific three ingredients needed to blend a drug cocktail he was well versed in making (Lean). And appeared slightly exagerrated, tenuous, and wobbly (swaying) when you objectively review his physical movements on the video of the store during the purchase.


He was a little more than a half a mile from home (Brandy's house), yet he left the store at 6:24 and was first noted at the clubhouse at 7:09pm. If he intended to go straight home from the store, and under normal cognitive capacity, he should have made the 1/2 mile trip in well under 30 minutes, well under.


Maybe some "journalists" like the clownish Matt Gutman of ABC News could investigate these well-documented reports, that is, if they get bored rewriting DNC press releases as "news".

Former NYC Mayor Ding-Dong Dinkins On Why He Lost To Rudy Giuliani: "It Was Racism, Pure And Simple"

(Awwwwww.... what a shame, Ding-Dong. 
Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that New York City
was a crime-ridden hellhole during your time in office. 
Be glad you didn't go to jail, crybaby)

Via NY Times:

Delivering his most explicit and candid appraisal yet, David N. Dinkins says in a forthcoming memoir that he barely won the New York City mayoral election in 1989 and lost four years later by a small margin for one reason: because he is black.

"I think it was just racism, pure and simple," Mr. Dinkins writes.

In the memoir, "A Mayor's Life: Governing New York's Gorgeous Mosaic," which is to be published in September by PublicAffairs, Mr. Dinkins tiptoes out of his courtly public persona to berate Rudolph W. Giuliani, who defeated him in 1993, and to take a swipe at former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo.

He even admits some missteps, including a failure to contain race riots in Crown Heights, for which he largely blamed his police commissioner, and the prolonged boycott by blacks of a Korean-owned grocery in Brooklyn.

[...]


Not surprisingly, Mr. Dinkins aims his most acrid salvos at Mr. Giuliani, describing him as "a cold, unkind person" who "apparently has some difficulty apologizing for anything" and practiced "the politics of boundless ambition without the guidance of a set of core beliefs or the humility and restraint of experience."

He accuses Giuliani operatives of spying on his campaign and maintains that the comedian Jackie Mason, in describing Mr. Dinkins as a "fancy schvartze," was "essentially calling me a nigger."[/b] Mr. Mason, who supported Mr. Giuliani in his race against Mr. Dinkins, declined to comment. Mr. Dinkins said Mr. Giuliani's underlying divisive message was: "The city is in terrible financial straits. Do you really want a black man presiding over it in this time of trouble?"

U.S. Olympic Boxer-Loser Renounces
The American Flag Over Zimmerman Verdict

(Fine with me, tie-rell...
I'd prefer someone this ignorant not wear the flag)

Via TMZ:

U.S. Olympic boxer Terrell Gausha is so disgusted over the George Zimmerman verdict ... he's vowing to never sport the red, white and blue again.

Gausha, who boxed in the 2012 London Summer Games started wearing the American flag on his boxing trunks after his Olympic run [On August 2, 2012 Gausha lost to India's Vijender Singh in a pre-quarterfinal bout, thus getting out of Olympics]... but tells TMZ he's done with that now in the wake of Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Terrell adds, "How can I wear my stars and stripes proudly in a country where they make a big deal out of Mike Vick fighting dogs; but not a young innocent black male's life."

Holder warns against 'stand your ground laws'
in response to Zimmerman verdict

Race Baiter Eric Holder
Implies
Racism Behind Trayvon Martin Killing

(Instead of trying to be a leader who brings people together,
Obuma sends his AG out to stoke the flames of racial hatred)

Via Red Alert Politics:
http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/07/16/holder-warns-against-stand-your-ground-laws-in-response-to-zimmerman-verdict/

Attorney General Eric Holder spoke out against "Stand Your Ground" laws in his speech in front of the NAACP on Tuesday and strongly implied that racism was a factor in George Zimmerman's acquittal.

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which was heavily debated after Trayvon Martin was shot in February 2012, allows one to respond with force when attacked outside of the home. Holder warned that such laws allow for too much violence in the name of self-defense, adding that it is 'common sense' to retreat if possible, instead of resorting to force. [...]

Holder sympathized with Martin's family in his speech and recalled his own personal struggles involving racial issues. He said Martin's death last year caused him to have a conversation with his 15-year-old son about the issues he may face as a young black man.

The Attorney General confirmed that the Department of Justice is continuing their open investigation into the case, as well as again inferring there was racism in the Zimmerman verdict.

"We must confront the underlying attitudes, the mistaken beliefs and the unfortunate stereotypes that serve too often as the basis for police action and private judgments," Holder said.

Sick: MSNBC's Joy Reid Says Zimmerman Supporters Remind Her Of People In "Lynching Photos"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5063lx3Xds&feature=player_embedded

(And MSNBC, the Race Baiting Channel, manages to sink to yet another new low)

Via NRO:

MSNBC Race Baiting commentator Joy Reid told viewers that those supportive of the Florida jury's acquittal of George Zimmerman remind her of the lynching mobs she's seen in pictures from the 1920s. She denounced any sense of relief that Zimmerman was found innocent, regardless of whether he in fact was.

Reid criticized reactions from conservatives such as Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh to the verdict, which she described, as "rejoicing about the fact that somebody got acquitted of shooting and killing a teenager." She compared their reactions to the way "smiling" lynchers felt after hanging a black man in the Jim Crow South.

Old Lady Pant Suits Tells The "Sisterhood" Zimmerman Being Acquitted
Brought "Heartache, Deep Painful Heartache"

(Preach it, Soul Sista! Yeh got my vote)

Via Politico:
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/07/hillary-clinton-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-verdict-94301.html#ixzz2ZFjrXJbc

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about the "heartache" of the Trayvon Martin case in D.C. Tuesday evening while speaking to an African-American sorority group.

"My prayers are with the Martin family and with every family who loves someone who is lost to violence," she said in an almost 30-minute speech. "No mother, no father, should ever have to fear for their child walking down a street in the United States of America."

She said she knew this week has "brought heartache, deep painful heartache" to families in the wake of the not guilty verdict in George Zimmerman's trial last Saturday.

Clinton also referenced U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement Monday that the Justice Department will review the case.

"Yesterday I know you heard from the Attorney General about the next steps from the Justice Department and the need for a national dialogue," she said."As we move forward as we must I hope this sisterhood will continue to be a force for justice and understanding."

Clinton's comments came in a speech to the 51st annual convention of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the largest African-American women's organization in the country. Organizers said that more than 14,000 people were in the room to hear her speak.

No.#1 On The Endangered List:  The American Family

The family is one of the fundamental building blocks of society.  If you do not have strong families, you are not going to have a strong society.  Unfortunately, the state of the family in America continues to deteriorate.  The marriage rate has fallen to an all-time low, we lead the world in divorce, and about a third of all children live in a home without a father.  Our young people have been taught that getting married and having a family is not a priority, and many of those that would like to get married and have children are not able to get the kinds of jobs that they need to support a family.  The statistics that you are about to see should absolutely shock you.  American families have never been this weak, and this is an incredibly troubling sign for the future of our nation.  What will future generations of Americans be like if they do not have stable homes to grow up in?  Will they be even more messed up than we are right now?  That, my friends, is a frightening thought. 

The following are 27 facts that prove that the family in America is in the worst shape ever...

#1 The marriage rate in the United States has fallen to an all-time low.  Right now it is sitting at a yearly rate of 6.8 marriages per 1000 people.

#2 Today, an all-time low 44.2 percent of Americans in the 25 to 34 year old age bracket are married.

#3 According to the Pew Research Center, only 51 percent of all adults in the United States are currently married.  Back in 1960, 72 percent of all adults in the United States were married.

#4 Back in 1950, 78 percent of all households in the United States contained a married couple.  Today, that number has declined to 48 percent.

#5 100 years ago, 4.52 were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people.

#6 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#7 In the United States today, more than half of all couples "move in together" before they get married.

#8 The divorce rate for couples that live together first is significantly higher than for those that do not.

#9 For women under the age of 30 in the United States, more than half of all babies are being born out of wedlock.

#10 In 1970, the average woman had her first child when she was 21.4 years old.  Now the average woman has her first child when she is 25.6 years old.

#11 According to the Centers for Disease Control, there were 69.3 births per 1,000 women in the 15 to 44 year old age bracket in 2007. Now the rate has fallen to 63.2 births per 1,000 women.

#12 The birth rate for American women in the 20 to 24 year old age bracket has fallen to 85.3 births per 1,000 women.  That is a new all-time record low.

#13 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the entire world.

#14 At this point, approximately one out of every three children in the United States lives in a home without a father.

#15 Without a father around, many single mothers in this country are really struggling to survive.  Sadly, approximately 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States are on food stamps.

#16 It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point before they reach the age of 18.

#17 Today, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless.  This is the first time that has ever happened in our history.

#18 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the entire world.  In fact, the United States has a teen pregnancy rate that is more than twice as high as Canada, more than three times as high as France and more than seven times as high as Japan.

#19 In the United States today, approximately 47 percent of all high school students have had sex.

#20 Approximately one out of every four teen girls in the United States has at least one sexually transmitted disease.

#21 According to one survey, 24 percent of all U.S. teens that have at least one sexually transmitted disease say that they still have unprotected sex.

#22 Instead of being raised by parents, an increasing number of children in America are being raised by movies, television and video games.  For example, the average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21.

#23 Americans are tied with the British for the highest average number of hours spent watching television each week.

#24 There are more than 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States every single year.

#25 The United States actually has the highest child abuse death rate in the developed world.

#26 Approximately 20 percent of all child sexual abuse victims in the United States are under the age of 8.

#27 It is estimated that one out of every four girls will be sexually abused before they become adults.
Unfortunately, this is a problem that is not going to be fixed overnight.  Getting the "right politicians" into office will not solve our problems and neither will spending a bunch of money.

The change that we need is a change of the heart.  We need to change how we treat one another and we need to get our priorities straight.

Our families are really messed up, and this is hurting our kids the most.  There is no way that this country is going to have any hope for a bright future unless our families start getting stronger.

Or could it be possible that I am overreacting?

What do you think?

Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2012

December 31, 2012

Via Judicial Watch:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2012 list of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians." The list, in alphabetical order, includes:

Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL):
In July 2012, the House Ethics Committee, after a haphazard investigation, reported that Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) had omitted information on his financial disclosure forms over four years. However, the ethics committee took no action because once caught, Rep. Buchanan evidently corrected the "errors." What, exactly, were the errors? In his disclosure statements for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Buchanan failed to report all of his positions or ownership interests in six entities and income received from the entities.

In a separate matter, the committee continues to investigate findings of the Office of Congressional Ethics, Congress's independent ethics review board, that there is "substantial reason to believe that Representative Buchanan attempted to influence the testimony of a witness in a proceeding before the FEC [Federal Election Commission]."

The alleged violation occurred during an FEC probe of Buchanan's former business partner, Sam Kazran. According to Kazran, during the FEC probe, Buchanan offered him a $2.9 million settlement in a separate lawsuit if Kazran would lie about his role in a campaign cash laundering scheme involving Buchanan's Florida car dealerships.  CNN reports that the FBI is now conducting its own investigation into possible federal witness tampering.



Secretary of Energy Steven Chu:
"The final decisions on Solyndra were mine," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu in his testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Oversight Committee on November 17, 2011. And this should be his political epitaph. Chu's decision to pour $528 million tax dollars into a failing green energy boondoggle that went belly-up in 2011 is indefensible and corrupt, especially in light of the fact that Solyndra's key investor (Tulsa billionaire George Kaiser) also happens to be a major Obama campaign donor.

On March 12, 2012, Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-CA) Energy and Oversight Committee exposed the full extent of Chu's incompetence and corruption in a report citing "numerous examples of dysfunction, negligence and mismanagement by DOE [Department of Energy] officials, raising troubling questions about the leadership at DOE and how it has administered its loan guarantee programs."  The report accused Chu's DOE of having "turned a blind eye to the risks that have been glaringly apparent since the inception of the program."

Whether Chu indeed made the "final" decision on Solyndra, or is simply protecting the president and his donor, this is a scandal of a major magnitude. And yet, it is only the tip of the iceberg. As Peter Schweizer, author of the book Throw Them All Out wrote, "According to the Department of Energy's own numbers ... In the 1705 government-backed-loan [green energy] program, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted ... went to companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama financial backers—individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama's National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice lied about the events surrounding the Benghazi massacre. Hillary Clinton, the only First Lady to have been the subject of a grand jury investigation, is a regular visitor to our Most Corrupt list, while this is a first-time appearance for Ms. Rice.

One day after the attack, on September 12, 2012, Sec. Clinton said the following: "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear — there is no justification for this, none." She then joined President Obama in taping a television ad apologizing to the Muslim world for the obscure video, spending a reported $70,000 in taxpayer funds on the ad buys.

And then Rice repeated the Benghazi lie, over and over again on every major television news network. Hillary Clinton's and Rice's lies about one of the most significant terrorist attacks since 9/11 are, perhaps, the scandal of the year out of this administration. Little wonder that in his October 2012 testimony Eric Nordstrom, a former a top security official in Libya who was criticized for seeking more security in Benghazi, felt compelled to tell the House Oversight Committee that conversations he had with people in Washington led him to believe that it was "abundantly clear we were not going to get resources until the aftermath of an incident. How thin does the ice have to get before someone falls through?"

He said he was so exasperated at one point he told a colleague that "for me the Taliban is on the inside of the building."

Attorney General Eric Holder:
A regular on our annual Top Ten Corrupt list, Holder shamelessly operates the most blatantly politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) in a generation. And, with the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, it is no exaggeration that his agency has blood on its hands.

Fast and Furious was a reckless DOJ/Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) "gun-running" scheme in which guns were sold to Mexican drug cartels and others, apparently in the hope that the guns would end up at crime scenes. Well, they did – and it appears that the guns were involved in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens, as well as the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed in a shootout with Mexican criminals in December 2010. On December 5, 2012, CBS News reported that 17 DOJ and ATF officials had been faulted in an Inspector General investigation of the Fast and Furious scandal. But, the man at the top remains unscathed, even after becoming the first attorney general in history to be cited for criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to divulge documents about DOJ lies to Congress about Fast and Furious.

Every day that Eric Holder remains at the helm, the Department of Justice sinks further into the abyss of cronyism, corruption, and deceit. And it is well past time for him to go.



Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL):
On November 21, 2012, Rep. Jesse Jackson resigned from Congress in disgrace, acknowledging in his statement that he had made his "share of mistakes." This may well be the understatement of year. Jackson has been under federal investigation for alleged campaign finance improprieties, including reportedly using donor dollars to remodel his home and purchase personal gifts, a potential criminal violation. Add to that the fact that Jackson was one of the major figures implicated in the massive scandal involving jailed former Illinois Governor Rod "Blago" Blagojevich, who was brought to justice in 2011 for a number of crimes, including his efforts to "sell" President Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder. The evidence strongly suggests Jackson was one of those bidders.

Because Jackson refused to resign before the November elections, Illinois taxpayers will now be faced with costs of a special election: estimated to cost $5.1 million.

The late great Chicago newspaperman Mike Royko famously said that the official motto of Chicago should be "Ubi Est Mea — Where's mine?" Clearly, Jackson and his cohorts have taken this motto to heart.



Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ):
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) joins the Judicial Watch's list of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians for 2012" in what might be considered a sort of "Lifetime Achievement Award."

As far back as 2007, Sen. Menendez was investigated by a federal grand jury for illegally steering lobbying business to his former chief of staff Kay LiCausi, with whom he was also romantically linked. In just a few years, her firm reported $1.3 million in business with nearly $300,000 coming from a New Jersey medical center that was later awarded government funding thanks to a push from her former boss and lover.

In 2010, Menendez and his colleague in corruption, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), allocated $8 million for a public walkway and park space adjacent to upscale, waterfront condos built by a developer whose executives have donated generously to their political campaigns. The veteran legislators have received about $100,000 in contributions from the developer, according to federal election records. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the developer's Washington D.C. lobbyist was a longtime senior aide to Menendez.

And to top it all off, in October 2012, The Daily Caller broke the story that two women from the Dominican Republic claimed that the senator had procured their services while on Spring Break at the luxurious Casa de Campo. Then in mid-December, the Associated Press revealed that Menendez employed an illegal immigrant as an unpaid intern in his Senate office who was a registered sex offender.

President Barack Hussein Obama:
Were there a "Hall of Fame" for broken promises, here is one that would get in on the first ballot: "Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency" (President Barack Obama, January 21, 2009). Instead of transparency and the rule of law over the past four years, we have witnessed the greatest expansion of government in modern political history and, consequently, an explosion of government secrecy, scandals, and abuses of power. Among the low-lights:

•Illegal recess appointments: Perhaps former Attorney General Ed Meese and Todd Graziano summed it up best in their January 5, 2012, Washington Post guest commentary: "President Obama's attempt to unilaterally appoint three people to seats on the National Labor Relations Board and Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (after the Senate blocked action on his nomination) is more than an unconstitutional attempt to circumvent the Senate's advice-and-consent role. It is a breathtaking violation of the separation of powers and the duty of comity that the executive owes to Congress."
•Illegal immigration: In mid-June, Obama announced that by executive decree – and in apparent violation of his oath of office – his administration would stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. According to The AP, "the policy change ... bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan ..." Lest anyone doubt that Obama knew he was overriding the law of the land, in March, 2011, he said, "There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President."
•Unprecedented secrecy: Judicial Watch has had to file almost 1,000 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and nearly 100 lawsuits against the Obama administration on issues ranging from Obamacare to the continued funding of the criminal ACORN network; from tracking Wall Street bailout money to the unconstitutional use of czars; to White House visitor logs; to the attacks on the integrity of our nation's elections.  This president touts transparency but condones law-breaking of open records laws by his administration.
•Unconstitutional czars: As far back as 2009, Reuters reported, "Name a top issue and President Barack Obama has probably got a 'czar responsible for tackling it." By the time the Judicial Watch Special Report President Obama's Czars was published in October 2011, the number of Obama czars had skyrocketed to 45. Largely unconfirmed by and unaccountable to the Senate, many of Obama's czars are often outside the reach of FOIA.  Some of these czars exercise unprecedented and unconstitutional control over major aspects of government policy and programs. And a number of the czars have been linked to scandals, thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive statements, conflicts of interest, and radical leftist political ideologies and policies.
•Use of Executive Privilege to protect Eric Holder: On June 20, 2012, Barack Obama acquiesced to a plea from Attorney General Eric Holder and asserted "executive privilege" to protect the Attorney General from being prosecuted for failing to provide Congress with Fast and Furious documents. On March 22, 2011, when asked by a Univision TV if he had been informed of the Holder gunrunning program, Obama bluntly stated, "Absolutely not. This is a pretty big government, the United States government. I've got a lot of moving parts." So, as Judge Andrew Napolitano said on Fox News, "They can't have it both ways. If the President was not personally involved, executive privilege does not apply."  To this day, President Obama refuses to detail the specific documents he is withholding from Congress.
The list could go on ad infinitum – with Benghazigate, bailouts, abusing the perks of office for luxury vacations for his family, and, of course, his personal involvement in the Solyndra scandal. But the bottom line is this: The federal government under Barack Obama is off the rails and out of control. And now, with Obama having been given the "flexibility" of a second term, it can only be expected to get worse.[/b]


Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV):
A July 30, 2012, headline in the Las Vegas Review-Journal alerted Nevadans to Sen. Harry Reid's latest influence-peddling scandal – this one involving ENN Energy Group, a Chinese "green energy" client of the Nevada law firm of which Reid's son, Rory, is a principal.

As Reuter's reported on August 31, 2012, "Reid has been one of the project's most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission."

"Well below appraised value" is a considerable understatement. The deal Rory Reid put together for the firm his dad brought to town saw ENN purchase the site for just $4.5 million – a mere fraction of separate appraisals that valued the property at $29.6 million and $38.6 million. Even with all of that, however, the project has failed to move forward as rapidly as Harry and Rory Reid would like – for the simple reason that there is currently no market in Nevada for the green energy ENN claims it could produce.

But, of course, funneling money to the Reid family is nothing new for the Senate Majority Leader. As the Washington Post reported in a February 7, 2012, story titled "Public projects, private interests:"

In 2004 and 2005, the Senate majority leader secured $21.5 million to build a bridge over the Colorado River, linking the gambling resort town of Laughlin, Nev., with Bullhead City, Ariz. Reid owns 160 acres of undeveloped land in Bullhead City.

And according to Peter Schweizer, writing for Fox News on December 12, 2012, "Sen. Reid has sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted organizations that one of his sons, Key Reid, [RW1] either lobbies for or is affiliated with.

Needless to say, the well-entrenched Sen. Reid has been a repeat Top Ten offender.



Rep. David Rivera (R-FL):
On October 24, 2012, the Florida ethics commission found "probable cause" that Rep. David Rivera (R-FL) had committed 11 violations of state ethics laws during his time in the Florida legislature. This comes amidst reports that Rivera remains under federal investigation over his personal and campaign finances. And, in a separate matter, the congressman is under investigation by the FBI for secretly funding the campaign of Justin Lamar Sternad, a candidate running against Joe Garcia in the Democratic primary earlier this year. Garcia defeated Rivera in the November election.

The "probable cause" findings stem from an investigation by the FBI and the IRS regarding Rep. Rivera's dealings with the Flagler Dog Track, now known as the Magic City Casino. The basis for the investigation relates to payments reportedly totaling as much as $1 million made by the casino to Millennium Marketing in the guise of a consulting contract. Most of the money is said to have been paid in 2008. Millennium Marketing is owned by Rivera's mother and godmother, and Rivera supposedly benefited from the arrangement, and is thus the subject of a tax evasion inquiry.

For a long time, Rep. Rivera denied ever receiving any income from the dog track, but just before heading to Congress, Rivera admitted receiving $132,000 in "undisclosed loans" from Millennium. He claims he paid the money back. Investigators are also taking a close look at Rivera's campaign spending, including $75,000 he paid in 2010 "to a now-defunct consulting company owned by the daughter of a top aide."



Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
On September 12, 2012, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius became the first member of the President's cabinet in U.S. history to have been found guilty of violating the Hatch Act when she campaigned for the reelection of Barack Obama in her official capacity of Secretary of HHS. According to Politico, "During a speech to the Human Rights Campaign Gala in North Carolina in February, Sebelius . . . outlined the Obama administration's accomplishments so far and said, 'One of the imperatives is to make sure that we not only come together here in Charlotte to present the nomination to the president, but we make sure that in November he continues to be president for another four years.'"

After the speech, Sebelius tried to cover her tracks by reclassifying the event from "official" to "political," and claiming her appearance was in her personal capacity. The scheme didn't work.

According to the official statement put out by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel: "The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) sent findings to the President today from its investigation of complaints of prohibited political activity by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. OSC concluded that Secretary Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012.  The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their official authority or influence to affect the outcome of an election."

Thoroughly unapologetic, Ms. Sebelius justified her transgression by informing the OSC that she simply "got a little caught up in the notion that the gains which had been made would clearly not continue without the president's reelection." In other words, her Obamacare agenda took precedence over the law. Normally, when a government official is found violating the Hatch Act, the punishment is termination.  How did President Obama respond? There was no punishment whatsoever.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC):
On May 31, 2012, a jury in the corruption trial of former U.S. Senator from North Carolina and presidential candidate John Edwards said that it could not agree on a verdict for five of six counts, and U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles was forced to declare a mistrial. But, while Edwards may have been partially exonerated (he was acquitted on one count), he was certainly not vindicated.

John Edwards conducted an illicit affair with campaign employee Rielle Hunter that resulted in the birth of their daughter. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Edwards reportedly persuaded his former political aide Andrew Young to claim that he was the father of the child, and not Edwards. The ruse failed and Edwards was forced to admit to the whole sordid mess. The focus then shifted to whether Edwards unlawfully diverted campaign funds to hide the affair.

Edwards denies the claim, but according to witness testimony Hunter and Young received nearly a million dollars in "hush" payments from philanthropist Rachel "Bunny" Mellon and Texas billionaire Fred Baron, two campaign donors who did not want to see the scandal derail Edwards' pursuit of the White House. According to an excellent analysis by Hans Von Spakovsky at the Heritage Foundation, the money paid to Edwards' mistress was "dishonest, dishonorable, and illegal:"

"Federal law...prohibits the conversion of campaign funds to any personal use (2 U.S.C. §439a). Most important, FEC regulations state that the payment of a personal expense by any person other than the candidate is considered a contribution to the candidate, unless the payment would have been made irrespective of the candidacy (11 CFR 113.1). As the FEC said in a prior advisory opinion (AO 2008-17), the key question is, 'Would the third party pay the expense if the candidate was not running for Federal office?'"

In short, John Edwards may have eluded the reach of the law. But, in the courtroom of public opinion he remains one of the "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2012.



Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY):
Though Staten Island's Rep. Michael Grimm managed to eke out a reelection victory on November 6, it wasn't because he had failed to supply his opponent with serious issues of campaign corruption. During the race, Grimm was the subject of an FBI investigation into allegations that his 2010 congressional campaign had accepted contributions over the legal limit and from noncitizen donors via Ofer Biton, a former aide to a prominent Israeli rabbi, in exchange for helping Biton obtain a green card.

According to ABC News, "In early 2012, the New York Times reported that Grimm, a devout Catholic and former agent for the FBI, allegedly accepted illegal donations from members of an Upper East Side rabbi's congregation. Ofer Biton, an Israeli citizen and a top aide to the prominent Orthodox rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, came under investigation by the FBI over allegations that Biton embezzled millions of dollars from the congregation. It is said that while campaigning with Biton, the Grimm campaign collected over $500,000 in campaign contributions."



Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano:
According a Gallup Poll, a full 62 per cent of the American people believe that stopping illegal immigration should be a top priority of the U.S. government. Unfortunately for the American people, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is not numbered among that 62%. And she is the person who is supposed to be enforcing the law. Last year, Napolitano opened the floodgates of illegal immigration by having the Department of Homeland Security review all cases then before the immigration courts with an eye towards halting the deportation of many illegal immigrants allegedly with no criminal backgrounds. (JW uncovered records demonstrating this to be an utter lie. Many of the illegals let off the hook were convicted of violent crimes.)

Not satisfied with skirting the law in 2011, Napolitano decided to abandon it altogether in 2012. Accordingly, on June 15, 2012, she announced: "By this memorandum, I am setting forth how, in the exercise of our prosecutorial discretion, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should enforce the Nation's immigration laws against certain young people who were brought to this country as children and know only this country as home."

In short, this amounted to blanket "temporary" amnesty for illegals under the age of 30. With her single statement, she simply declared upwards of one million illegal aliens entirely legal. Just like that. No legislation. No debate. No votes. No court rulings. The Constitution of the United States notwithstanding. And, in so doing, she violated the Oath of Office she had taken when sworn in as secretary of Homeland Security on January 21, 2009: "I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."



Gen. David Petraeus:
General Petraeus was forced to resign after news leaked of his long-term extramarital affair with Paula Broadwell, a writer and military analyst who penned a Petraeus biography. Compounding the scandal are questions involving whether Petraeus' mistress had improper access to classified information from the nation's top spy. At the University of Denver on July 28, Broadwell said, "I had access to everything, it was my experience not to leak it, not to violate my mentor, if you will."

There is also a major question about whether Petraeus misled Congress about the Benghazi attack in his initial congressional testimony. On September 14, just days after the attack on the consulate, Petraeus briefed congressional intelligence leaders, reportedly telling them he believed the attack was spontaneous and not carefully pre-planned. Yet on Friday, November 16, in private hearings before Senate and House intelligence committees, Petraeus changed his story. According to Fox News: "Petraeus' testimony both challenges the Obama administration's repeated claims that the attack was a "spontaneous" protest over an anti-Islam video, and according to [New York Rep. Peter] King conflicts with his own briefing to lawmakers on Sept. 14. Sources have said Petraeus, in that briefing, also described the attack as a protest that spun out of control."



Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA):
Judicial Watch uncovered evidence that Elizabeth Warren gave false statements under oath regarding Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) activities when she served as the agency's interim director. According to the records, Warren and the CFPB were intimately involved in brokering a 50-state settlement underway with the nation's largest mortgage lenders related to alleged improper foreclosure procedures. This evidence seems to contradict Warren's statements before Congress suggesting her office responded to requests for advice, but did not seek to push its views.

During a March 16, 2011, hearing of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Ms. Warren downplayed her agency's involvement in the state settlement negotiations: "We have been asked for advice by the Department of Justice, by the Secretary of the Treasury, and by other federal agencies. And when asked for advice, we have given our advice."

But this does not come close to telling the full story.

Emails obtained by Judicial Watch from several states suggest her agency's participation was far more intense and aggressive. Warren called emergency meetings by phone and in person with attorneys general nationwide to contribute unsolicited input on the matter. The documents also indicate that Warren's office insisted on keeping its contact with the state attorneys general secret. For example, in a February 25, 2011, email to the Executive Committee of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), Iowa Assistant Attorney General Patrick Madigan wrote: "Elizabeth Warren would like to present the CFPB's view on loan modifications." Two weeks earlier, a similar email was distributed to NAAG's Loss Mitigation Subgroup on Warren's behalf. In an email on February 15 regarding that meeting, Madigan points out that "The CFPB wanted me to stress the confidential nature of this briefing."

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA):
In early December, Democrats chose the scandal-plagued Rep. Maxine Waters to be the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee despite her many transgressions over the years. The influential congresswoman has helped family members make more than $1 million through business ventures with companies and causes that she has helped, according to her hometown newspaper.

In August 2010, Waters' influence peddling earned the attention of a subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee which charged Rep. Waters with three counts of violating House rules and ethics regulations in connection with her use of power and influence on behalf of OneUnited Bank. After a highly controversial investigation, plagued by accusations of impropriety and corruption, on September 12, the committee failed to hold Waters to account for steering a $12 million to OneUnited, in which she and her board member husband held shares.

The Financial Services Committee, among other responsibilities, has jurisdiction over all issues pertaining to; you guessed it, the banking system.

A white man beaten to death by gang of killer blacks and Obuma, Jackson, Sharpton & Media dead silent on this tragedy.  So far I haven't heard a peep out of Scumbags Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the rest on this one but we can be sure it's coming... in the spirit of MSNBC's balanced news reporting.  Before I get into this story I want to state that all I, and most Americans, wanted in the Zimmerman trial was justice.  I have to put my trust in the system and leave the rest up to God.  I think people need to remember this.  If Zimmerman was truly as guilty as many think then God will take care of him.  Today I want to talk about the double standards that sometimes exist in our society.

In early July, Joshua Chellew was beaten to death by four young black gang members. Yet, chances are that you have not heard about this story before today.  A few national sources have reported it but not that many.  Why?  Well it is because we have to understand that our national media has an agenda.

The Marietta Daily Journal reported: 
http://mdjonline.com/view/full_story/23037003/article-Mableton-teens-linked-to-gang-are-accused-in-beating-death?


Four south Cobb teenagers are in custody in connection with the beating death of a 36-year-old Mableton man on Mableton Parkway early Sunday morning.

The incident initially was reported by police as a hit-and-run death over the weekend, but the narrative changed drastically Tuesday after the arrests of four teenagers on murder charges.

Jekari Oshay Strozier, 19; Antonio Shantwan Pass, 18; and Johnathan Donald Anthony, 18; all from Mableton, are in the Cobb County jail without bonds on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault and violation of the Georgia Street Gang Act.

The fourth suspect, 18-year-old Kemonta Bonds of Mableton, turned himself in to police Tuesday afternoon.

They have been accused in the beating death of Joshua Heath Chellew, 36, of Mableton and all but Bonds were arrested Monday afternoon by Cobb County investigators.

According to the warrant, the four teenagers are accused of starting a fight with Chellew at a Chevron gas station in the 6200 block of Mableton Parkway near Community Drive at about 1:20 a.m. Sunday. They repeatedly punched and kicked him, according to police.

While attempting to escape, Chellew backed into the center five-lane highway and was pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious, the warrant states.

They then walked away from Chellew, "leaving him helpless," and he was eventually hit by a car, the warrant states.

Witnesses on the scene told police that "at no time did (the four teenagers) attempt to aid (Chellew), or to stop the approaching vehicle," according to the warrant.


Crimes like this happen in America regularly.  The problem is that whenever the victim is a minority and the perpetrator is white the media tends to bring the circus tents.

Here is a reality check.  People do bad things.  These teenagers proved that guns don't kill people.  They proved that racist crimes, if this proves to be racist, can go both ways.  But we must understand that bad people kill those of all colors and just because a bad guy kills someone from another ethnic background it doesn't mean it is a race crime.  Maybe this was and maybe it wasn't.

I think we need to have a national conversation about racism.  Not all racists are white and not all interracial crimes are caused by the color of one's skin.  For the record George Zimmerman is of Hispanic/Black descent.  He is not "white" and not the Jew that the media originally attempted to villainize.  Trayvon Martin was also not the angel that he was painted to be.  Beyond what I know I have to hope that the jury made the right decision and I will leave the rest up to God.

Oh yeah, remember God?  This country was founded under His principles and calling for racial riots and trying to whip people into a frenzy are not part of those guiding principles.  They are more so a part of communist/socialist/Marxist strategies aimed toward division.  Stories like the Trayvon Martin killing are exactly how a corrupt government stays in power.  These stories keep Americans divided and they know it. Their media lapdogs always oblige.

If you can't see that racism goes both ways in this country then you are probably more racist then the white crackers you speak of.  Let us not forget that over 90% of black voters voted for Obuma and a much lower percentage of white voters favored Romney.  So could I say that blacks are racist because they refused to vote for Romney?  I don't want to go there because it's not true.  The truth is that roughly 90% of blacks always vote Democrat.  It has nothing to do with Obuma's skin color.  And by the way... Obuma is not black and I get sick of hearing that.  He is technically of mixed race.  His mother was white. Get over it.

But bigots can spin these arguments easily and the biggest sin is that people listen to them.  Americans need to start thinking for themselves.  Racism will always exist but it is less of a problem than it was 20 or 50 or 100 years ago.  It will always exist to some extent because there will always be bad people and bad people come in all colors.

Yet in this country it seems that nothing qualifies as racism, or at least big news racism, unless the victim is a marketable minority.  When black gang members attack an average white guy and beat him to death it doesn't tend to make national headlines.

By making those statements I could be labeled a racist and I don't care.

Stop trying to play God and start praying to God.  I was raised to believe that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. 

But the real crime is not the color of skin but the fact that we are killing our brothers and sisters.

The truth is the truth.

Wake up America!

In Congress: "Morning"Joe Scarborough Introduced
Bill To Condem Al Sharpton--On TV: Joe Is Very Quiet

Here's an interesting back story to MSNBC and racial arsonist Al Sharpton. Back in March of 2000, MSNBC morning host Joe Scarborough was Congressman Joe Scarborough and he introduced House Resolution 270  condemning Al Sharpton as a racist and a bigot:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c106:H.CON.RES.270

106th CONGRESS
2d Session
H. CON. RES. 270
Condemning the racist and anti-Semitic views of the Reverend Al Sharpton
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 8, 2000
Mr. SCARBOROUGH submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Condemning the racist and anti-Semitic views of the Reverend Al Sharpton

Whereas the Congress strongly rejects the racist and incendiary actions of the Reverend Al Sharpton;

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has referred to members of the Jewish faith as `bloodsucking [J]ews', and `Jew bastards';

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has referred to members of the Jewish faith as `white interlopers' and `diamond merchants';

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton was found guilty of defamation by a jury in a New York court arising from the false accusation that former Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones, who is white, raped and assaulted a fifteen year-old black girl;

Whereas, to this day, the Reverend Al Sharpton has refused to accept responsibility and expresses no regret for defaming Mr. Pagones;

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton's vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith, and in particular, a Jewish landlord, arising from a simple landlord-tenant dispute with a black tenant, incited widespread violence, riots, and the murder of five innocent people;

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton's fierce demagoguery incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, following the accidental death of a black pedestrian child hit by the motorcade of Orthodox Rabbi Menachem Schneerson;

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton led a protest in the Crown Heights neighborhood and marched next to a protester with a sign that read, `The White Man is the Devil';

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has insulted members of the Jewish faith by challenging Jews to violence and stating to Jews to `pin down' their yarmulkes; and

Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has practiced the politics of racial division and made inflammatory remarks against whites by characterizing the death of Amadou Diallo as a `racially motivated police `assassination': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Congress--
(1) condemns the practices of the Reverend Al Sharpton, which seek to divide Americans on the basis of race, ethnicity, and religion;
(2) expresses its outrage over the violence that has resulted due to the Reverend Al Sharpton's incendiary words and actions; and
(3) fervently urges elected officials and public servants, who have condoned and legitimized the Reverend Al Sharpton's incendiary words and actions, to publicly denounce and condemn such racist and anti-Semitic views.

The bill was sent to committee where it died.

I wonder if Morning Joe still feels the same way about "Rev" Al? Sharpton hasn't changed. Bu then again Joe has---he no longer is a congressman from Florida, he is the morning host of the same network that hired Sharpton.


The "Reverend" Al is a regular guest on Joe's show. Why doesn't he (as the bill he introduced says):

...expresses [his] outrage over the violence that has resulted due to the Reverend Al Sharpton's incendiary words and actions; and fervently urge elected officials and public servants, who have condoned and legitimized the Reverend Al Sharpton's incendiary words and actions, to publicly denounce and condemn such racist and anti-Semitic views.


Why doesn't he ask the "Preacher" who ignores the commandment against "bearing false witness" if his outrage against George Zimmerman is over the top hypocritical considering Al's racist track record? What the matter Joe....cat's got your tongue? What's wrong Joe--you are never too shy to blast the conservative position (even though you claim to be one).
