For Discussion: Ann “C-Word” Coulter Blames Obama For Bringing Back ‘Pre-O.J.’ Racism…”White-On-Black Crime Is Freakishly Rare”

Ann Coulter: Obama Brought Back Racism In America The wicked witch of the GOP, Ann Coulter , is once again (surprise!) discussing liberals and black folks in her new book. Via Marietta Daily Journal: Written by Ann Coulter The media’s fixation on the Trayvon Martin case, while ignoring much more brutal crimes with clearer racial motivations, is a return to pre-O.J. America. The thesis of my book, “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama” — out in paperback this week! — is that after decades of liberals play-acting Racist America, wherein they cast themselves as civil rights champions, and other, random white people as Bull Connor (a Democrat), it all ended with the O.J. verdict. That’s when white America said, That’s it. The white guilt bank is shut down. It was one of the best things that ever happened to America — especially for black people. But then in 2007, Barack Obama brought it all back. In order to immunize the most left-wing presidential candidate the nation has ever seen, the Non-Fox Media went into overdrive reporting their fantasies of America as a nation full of racists, constantly terrorizing innocent blacks. Of course, once Republicans got the Democrats to stop terrorizing black people, there was no one else doing it. Nonetheless, for decades, the media would highlight every apparent white-on-black crime, treating each such incident as the Crime of the Century. White-on-black crimes were, and are, freakishly rare. But the media weren’t showcasing these one-off events as man-bites-dog stories, but rather as dog-bites-man stories in a universe brimming with packs of rabid dogs. According to liberals, whites attacking blacks was an epidemic — a nationwide “cancer,” in the words of erstwhile NYC Mayor Ed Koch. n 1986, only 2.6 percent of all homicides in the entire country were white-on-black killings. Black criminals killed nearly three times as many white people (949) as whites killed blacks (378) and they killed 16 times as many black people (6,235) as whites did. So if you’re confused by the blanket coverage of the Trayvon Martin case — attracting even the attention of the president of the United States! — while far more common and more vicious black-on-white murders are ignored, try to understand that liberals are frightened by change. They are desperately clinging to a world that never existed. Their fantasy of an America bristling with racists allows them to portray any criticism of our massively incompetent and dangerous president as just another sad episode of oh-so-typical white racism. They have to protect Obama, so the rest of us have to get “Mugged.” Discuss… WENN

The Portland Press Herald reported Tuesday that 68-year-old David Marsters is under investigation over an item posted last Friday on his personal page.

He was questioned for an hour at the local police station in Sabattus, Maine. “I think it’s a lot of hogwash,” Marsters told the Press-Herald. “I did not threaten the president … I might have used the wrong words … I didn’t say I was going to do it.” This is just outright disrespectful and racist.

Katy Perry and Barack Obama Bond, Tweet About Health Care

Katy Perry and Barack Obama are bonding on Twitter. How sweet. The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards proved to be a great night for Perry, who closed out the show with a knockout performance of her new hit ” Roar .” That was before getting a Twitter shout-out from the President! Barack Obama, Katy Perry Tweets It began when Perry, an Obama supporter, re-tweeted his message to get affordable healthcare starting October 1, and he was very appreciative. “Thanks for spreading the word. #ROAR,” Obama responded. Katy said, “Happy to do my part, PREZ!” Later, she added: “YO what a day! #ROAR-ing @ the #VMAs, Tweeting w/POTUS, & now happy to announce U chose #DARKHORSE FT @therealjuicyj to come out Sept 17th!” That would be her fan-chosen next single, FYI. Perry supported Obama’s 2012 reelection effort, performing at a fundraiser for the president along with Bon Jovi, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder and others. Additionally, the curvaceous “Part of Me” pop superstar is also close to Michelle Obama , and even spent her 28th birthday having lunch with FLOTUS. Sounds like she’s practically part of the family! The Obamas, meanwhile, have yet to comment publicly on the phenomenon that is Miley Cyrus Twerking .

For Discussion: Tavis Smiley Says Obama Should Be More “ML King-like And Not King-lite”

“You talkin’ to me?!?!” Tavis Smiley Says President Obama Should Be More Like Martin Luther King Jr. With the 50th Anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s march on Washington approaching this Wednesday, the White House announced that President Barack Obama will take the podium to deliver a much-anticipated public address commemorating MLK’s legacy and his lauded “I Have A Dream” speech. Obviously there will be many comparisons drawn between Dr. King and President Obama before, during, and after this speech, but Tavis Smiley asserts that Obama and Dr. King are dissimilar not necessarily in form, but in function. Via WashingtonPost Since the White House announced that President Obama will speak to the nation on Wednesday from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, I have been asked the same questions again and again: Is it appropriate for the president to occupy that sacred space? Does Obama have the moral authority to speak where King spoke? Does anyone? My honest answer to these questions: I don’t know. But here is what I do know. The future of our democracy is inextricably linked to how seriously we take King’s legacy. A legacy of unarmed truth and unconditional love. A legacy of brilliant prose and prophetic witness. The president’s decision to honor the march is proper and commendable. But when he stands where King stood and delivers a speech of his own, he inevitably invites comparisons between his words and King’s. I hope Obama rises to the challenge to be truly King-like, not just King-lite. His speech cannot be full of great sound bites but devoid of sound public policy. Smiley goes on to say: The unsettling truth is that during the Obama era, black America has fallen even further behind. The African American unemployment rate, for instance, remains stubbornly and disproportionately high at 12.6 percent, compared with the national rate of 7.4 percent. And while private-sector jobs are experiencing a slight uptick, the lack of public-sector jobs is suffocating black livelihoods. Sadly, a few black chief executives notwithstanding, race still matters in the private sector. Education is not the great equalizer. I know too many black Ivy League graduates whose degrees cannot close this gap, and heaven help you if you’re applying for a private-sector job with a “black-sounding” name. Researchers have found that these applicants receive up to 50 percent fewer callbacks than applicants with “white-sounding” names. Black misery is the fierce urgency of now. Do we want history to record that black folk fared even worse under the first black president? I certainly do not. We all understand that Obama is a politician and King was a prophet. But does that mean that the president, even with the structural and political constraints of his high office, cannot speak more truth? …But if Obama is to be transformational and not just transactional, a statesman and not just another politician, a thermostat and not just a thermometer, then it’s time for him to use his power to help regulate the temperature of our society and not just settle for recording the temperature of public opinion. It’s time to take some risks. To stop playing it safe in the second term. To tell the truth about the suffering in America that’s being rendered invisible simply because we choose not to see it. What kind of speech do you expect from POTUS Barry on Wednesday? What issues and topics to you want to hear him address? Image via AP

Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe entered a New Jersey courtroom today, pleading not guilty to federal fraud charges that could land them each in jail for up to 50 years .

Feinstein also referred to rumors that Joe would testify against Teresa as “ludicrous,” while assuring fans that the couple will “definitely” attend the upcoming Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 reunion. Thank goodness, right? Following her arraignment, Giudice reportedly took part in a book signing for her latest cookbook, “Fabulicious: On the Grill.” And, in related news, anyone who actually attended said signing in Wayne, New Jersey REALLY ought to re-evaluate their life choices.
