And Speaking of -Isms

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I’m really glad to see bloggers taking down the racist dribblings of the egregious Jonah Goldberg and his henchman Glenn Reynolds, who seem to think that Democrats are supporting Barack Obama because they fear that “certain segments of American political life” will “become completely unhinged” if Obama loses. As Glenn Greenwald points out, it’s [...]

Tancredo Drops Out of Presidential Races, Endorses Romney

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination, citing his fear that he might split the brown-people-hatin’ vote and open the door for some softy like Huckabee.  Tancredo threw his support to Mitt Romney, who opposes illegal immigration but supports lawn care companies that hire undocumented workers.
See ya, Tom.  Don’t [...]

One Klan Group To Protest Another in Cullman

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Um, what? Geez, just how many Klan members are there in Cullman?
Members of one Ku Klux Klan organization say they will assemble at the courthouse Nov. 10 to show their opposition to another Klan group that plans an anti-immigration rally there that day.
Ken Mier, who described himself as an investigator for the Alabama Ku [...]

Tancredo Won’t Run for Re-Election

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Another one bites the dust. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-we hate the brown people) has announced that he will not run for re-election to Congress. He says his pet issue, throwing out all the brown people and building an electric fence around the United States illegal immigration, has attained national prominence, so he isn’t [...]

“Ship of Fools”

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

Do you ever get curious about the mental meanderings of that remaining 30% or so who still support Bush?  Here’s your chance to be a fly on the wall on a National Review cruise.  I can’t do it justice; suffice it to say I’m still prying my jaw off the floor.  Here’s a snippet:
They rush [...]

More Fun with Tom Parker

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Blues reader Roy passed along this picture of Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker hanging with some of his homeboys:

That’s Leonard Wilson, board member for the Council of Conservative Citizens, on the left.  On the right is Mike Whorton, Alabama state leader for the League of the South (no, I’m not going to link to either [...]

Proud To Be a…Bigot?

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

It seems Rep. Goode (R-VA) isn’t interested in a procedure that would connect his brain to his mouth, perhaps because said mouth is so full of foot at the moment.  He’s refusing to back down from his fear-mongering over the election of Keith Ellison, a Muslim, to the House of Representatives.  And he’s tied the whole thing to immigration.  [...]

Glenn Beck Is a Racist Asshole

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

But you probably knew that already.  Interviewing Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, Beck accused him of advocating “cut and run”, which is pretty typical rightwing claptrap, but then he went further and said, “…what I feel like saying is, ‘Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies’.”  This [...]

Macaca Man Does It Again

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Salon’s quote of the day, via Americablog:
“I still had a ham sandwich for lunch. And my mother made great pork chops.” — Virginia Sen. George Allen, explaining how news that his grandfather was Jewish is “just an interesting nuance to my background.”
Bigoted and clueless.  What a combination.

Another Senator Who Hasn’t Learned To Think Before He Speaks

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Montana) wants to stop illegal immigration, but it seems he has no problem hiring illegal immigrants — or at least making stupid jokes about it.
A new video released this week by his Democratic challenger, Jon Tester, shows Burns, 71, joking to a crowd in June about how a “nice little Guatemalan man” [...]
