I didn’t write about Barack Hussein Obama’s phenomenal score of 37 in bowling because 1) everyone else covered it, and 2) I think we already had Barack’s phony act of trying to seem like the “little people” covered, last year, when I wrote about how B Hussein O whined about the price of gourmet green, arugula, at Whole Foods to small-town farmers in Iowa (there are no Whole Foods stores in Iowa and most people small-town Americans don’t eat–much less know about–arugula).
That said, this is the BEST CAMPAIGN AD Ever – thanks to Jimmy Kimmel:

. . . Shenanigans like that of illegal alien Palestinian Muslim criminal Waheed Saleh is not only tolerated but allowed to go on in spades.
Saleh, though he’s not supposed to be in this country, is a New York City cabbie. He’s gotten in repeated fights over parking spots and cigarettes. Originally from the HAMAS terrorist hotbed of Jenin, Saleh is now suing the City of New York and two of its cops because they “violated” Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s sanctuary city executive order, by tipping off Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Saleh’s presence, after he constituted a continuing law enforcement problem. And he’s also suing on the grounds that he feels the NYPD is trying to squelch his “First Amendment speech rights.”
Um, what rights? He’s not even supposed to be here. Hello . . . ?

Catch & Release: What ICE’s Princess Julie Myers
Did With Palestinian Muslim Illegal Alien Waheed Saleh
(Julie Myers Diet Coke by David Lunde/Lundesigns)
Moreover, Saleh is being represented by the high-priced law firm of O’Melveny & Myers, one of the most expensive firms in New York (and other major cities in which it has offices). Just who is paying Mr. Saleh’s legal fees? And if Mr. Saleh is paying them himself, which is doubtful, one wonders where he amassed such amounts of money as a cab driver. Did he fail to declare and pay adequate federal taxes on the cash fares he collected? Apparently, he didn’t pay federal–or any other–taxes at all (see below).
But here’s the kicker–which shows us what a great job Julie L. Myers a/k/a “The ICE Princess” is doing:

At one point, Mr. Saleh had been released from federal custody on bail. His current whereabouts could not be verified.

Yup, ICE let him go, despite being a flight risk and a repeated violator of federal immigration laws. Thanks, ICE Princess.
There’s even more absurdity to this story. Read the whole “saga” of Waheed Saleh.
Because we allow this kind of stuff to happen on a daily–no, make that hourly or per-minute–basis, we are losing our country, irretrievably. There are gazillions of Waheed Salehs. Tons of them.
Oh, and one other thing, Saleh is not even a legal cab driver, so he’s not even supposed to be collecting fares. He’s doing so illegally. But The New York Times has a PC-term for that. The “newspaper of record” calls him a “gypsy-cab driver.”
Hmmm . . . If I were the Gypsies, I’d give them the fair play of turnabout and sue both the Times and Saleh for defamation.

Well, well, well. This is the kind of Prez you will have in the White House come January, if you do not vote for John McCain:
Barack Hussein Obama not only marched in but helped ORGANIZE the so-called “Million Man March” presided over and led by racist loon Louis Farrakhan in 1995. (Actually, it was the 100,000 Man March if you use real, non-Ebonics math.) At the march, Farrakhan and a whole cornucopia of racist lunatics engaged in a torrent of anti-Semitic, anti-White, and anti-American speeches. The event was put on by the Nation of Islam, but Obama’s “not a Muslim,” so end of story, right? (Just kidding. April Fools Day was yesterday.)
Read all the details on this latest disturbing B Hussein O info at Gateway Pundit and Bob McCarty.

So much for Obama’s “disavowal” of Farrakhan. Yet another lie, like all the other whoppers he repeatedly puts forth. Frankly, his lying about his relationship with Farrakhan is far more important and disturbing than Hillary Rodham Cankles Clinton’s resume-padding lies about Tuzla, claiming she had to avoid sniper fire.

I’ve previously noted how the Chinese have ordered restaurants to take such “delicacies,” like shark fin, off the menu to show the world how “humanitarian” the country is. But it’s just window dressing. Still on the menu throughout China is slave labor, repression, and persecution–all courtesy of Mao’s Communism.
The same goes for the latest story of China’s “make-over” efforts. The country has banned deer penis, turtle blood, and angelica root potions from athletes’ diets. The cover story is that China believes these concoctions might not pass muster with stricter anti-doping rules. But the real reason, just like the banning of shark fin soup, is to make us think more highly of the Communist enslaving nation.
We’re not buying it. But, sadly, George W. Bush apparently is. He’s adamant about attending the Olympics and said in a press conference that he’s attending the even as an individual because it’s a major sporting event, but that it doesn’t symbolize his condoning of the awful Chinese human rights violations.

Um, hello . . . ? This man is the leader of the free world. He’s the President of the United States, which is supposed to have the moral high ground on issues of freedom and human rights. Any time he attends anything in a foreign nation, it symbolizes his acceptance, acquiescence to, and approval of the tactics of that country. That’s especially the case, whenever Bush attends Muslim or Communist nations, like China. Even Bush cannot possibly believe the poorly-fertilized excuse he’s giving for lending his presence to this “mere sporting event.”
And don’t forget that China is not only still our enemy, it’s still actively spying on us. Just Monday, Gregg Bergerson, a Defense Deapartment analyst, pleaded guilty to giving classified U.S. military information to the Chinese. Just because everything at Wal-Mart, Target, and Kmart says “Made in China,” doesn’t mean that the Chi-Coms are suddenly our allies.
Bush’s attendance at the Beijing Olypmics is a slap in the face not just to those who died in Tiananmen Square and those who continue to be executed as political prisoners, with their bodies sold to and desecrated by plastic sculpturists, but to the American people. It’s disgusting that Bush would attend the Beijing Olympics.
Fifteen Members of Congress, citing Chinese human rights abuses, urged Bush not to attend the Beijing Games. Sadly, only one Republican–pan-Islamist Dana Rohrabacher–is among them.
President Bush, don’t go to Beijing and lend your name while slavery and torture–and forced abortion–continues throughout China.
On the other hand, with Bush’s repeated pandering to Islamofascist regimes that do the same–Saudi Arabia and the like–why should we be surprised by this latest shameful gracing of his presence on a notorious human rights abusing nation?
To sum up: Deer penis off the menu for Chinese athletes. The Leader of the Free World and his tacit promotion of China, still on the menu. The Chinese will all be “feasting” on this outrageous endorsement of their regime.
All hail the Commie-lympics.

Whenever an agency drops its requirements, that means it has 1) trouble attracting suitable job applicants, and/or 2) trouble retaining employees.
But I thought we were trying to improve the U.S. Border Patrol, not bring it down. Apparently, I was wrong:

The Border Patrol has had to reduce its qualifications for
the job in order to meet the new numbers.

The Border Patrol has made three significant changes in order to meet the new requirements and put more boots on the ground. It no longer requires a high school diploma or GED (the equivalent of a high school
diploma) for entrance. The only qualifications for the job are that one be under 40, a US citizen, be able to learn Spanish, possess a driver’s license, and pass through several background and medical checks. After application, candidates have to take tests in law,
firearms, Spanish, physical training and driving, but the Border Patrol has lowered the score necessary to pass from 85% to 70%. It also has condensed the standard 88 days of basic training to 55 days.

A former Border Patrol agent friend who sent me this writes:

Not even requiring a HS Diploma or GED? What on earth could they be thinking?
Interestingly enough, they state you must be able to ‘learn’ Spanish. (I wonder if they require agents to speak English?) I have seen a few agents that made me wonder.
The tool they use for determining the ability to learn a foreign language is the DLAB written exam (Defense Language Aptitude Battery) which is absolutely impossible to pass. I know, I severely flunked it
myself.
Consequently, if you already speak Spanish, this test is waived. This leaves border rats with family on both sides of the border, East LA Cholos and assorted tattooed gangbangers among potential applicants.
Anyone with any serious aspirations of law enforcement as a career, with any degree of education, would never entertain consideration of a career in the patrol. Sad.

Sad, indeed. None of this is going to help change morale at the U.S. Border Patrol or help retain the many good agents who are fed up with their agency and their employer, which is ultimately Michael “Serpenthead” Chertoff’s dysfunctional, disastrous Department of Homeland Security.
Remember, the fish rots from the head down.

No, this is not an April Fools Day joke, though it should be. But every day is April Fools Day at the falsely-named Transportation Security Administration.
After years of letting testers with decoy bombs and explosive materials through security, after making me dump my tube of lip gloss (and also failing to catch that many times, too), and after frisking grannies but not Mohammeds and Shahidas, TSA finally has its priorities right and is spending personnel, time, energy, and funds on what’s most important in national transportation security:

As Catherine Lillie was designing a futuristic airport checkpoint that would calm stressed passengers, she faced a crucial decision: classical music or New Age?

Listening to soundtracks in a warehouse at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Lillie’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) team debated which tunes cast a more serene aura.
“We ran a couple of classical music tracks at one point that were simply too musical,” Lillie said. “They take over, and you start focusing on the music.”
The New Age instrumentals were “spa-like and soothing” – perfect to make passengers relax as they line up at a metal detector. “It’s like aural wallpaper,” Lillie said.
Nine months [DS:???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!] of Lillie’s handiwork will be tested starting in May at Baltimore/Washington International Airport and could be adopted at airports around the country. . . .
The road to relaxation draws heavily on industrial psychology. Lillie studied how banks align furniture to deter robbers and how restaurants use color schemes to stimulate eating.
“Research shows that the cooler ends of the spectrum, blues and greens, have a calming effect,” Lillie said. Her checkpoint line is bathed in the glow of mauve lights.

More:

“This is the first significant change to the checkpoint since the 1970s,” TSA chief Kip Hawley said. [DS: I repeat, ???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!]
The checkpoint to be tested in May at one terminal in Baltimore is based on a simple premise: serenity adds security. Mauve lights glow softly, soothing music hums, and smiling employees offer quiet greetings and assistance.
“A chaotic, noisy, congested checkpoint is a security nightmare. Chaos gives camouflage,” Hawley said. “A chaotic environment puts subtle pressure on (screeners) to rush the job.”
Hawley has sought to “calm the passenger” as he has focused the TSA on intercepting terrorists before they get to checkpoints, where they could slip plastic explosives past X-ray machines. . . .
That task is easier if passengers are relaxed. “Calm allows things to stand out more,” Hawley said. “It creates a better environment to observe hostile intent.”
TSA planners have been tinkering for months in a warehouse at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, testing music, lighting and displays. “You can actually influence some behavior subliminally through color,” said Catherine Lillie, head of the checkpoint-testing team.

Priorities, shmiorities. At the TSA, it’s all about New Age.
This absurdity is just the latest attempt by the TSA to avoid what they need to do but won’t: profile Muslim, Arab, and Middle Eastern passengers. So, instead, the TSA thinks that calming people in line will enable them to spot the anxious terrorists. Anyone ever see photos of Mohammed Atta? Did he seem anxious to you . . . or cold and calculating, regardless of John Tesh and Yanni muzak?
Yup, Minnie Riperton could’ve prevented 9/11, didn’t you know?
Somehow, I doubt listening to this would have stopped anything, but you should plan to hear it soon at a TSA security checkpoint near you:

I have mixed feelings about a front-page article in today’s Wall Street Journal, “Men Receiving Alimony Want a Little Respect.”
I’ve always believed that feminists don’t really want true “equality.” That, when women must suddenly take on traditionally male responsibilities–actually, penalties–that go along with that equality, like paying alimony, they suddenly don’t believe in “equality.” They balk. They want male benefits, but not the panoply of duties and disadvantages that come with them. When women, like former “Good Morning America” host Joan Lunden, complain about paying alimony to their less wealthy husbands, I say, “Welcome to equality, babe.”

On the other hand, the increase in the number of women paying alimony to their stay-at-home or less wealthy husbands is a stark symptom of sickness in America. The disease is the blurring of the gender roles. More and more men are rapidly becoming women. And more and more women are rapidly becoming men. No, I’m not referring to sex changes, but to gender roles. It’s not a good thing that there are more and more men who are Mr. Moms and more and more women who are the sole or primary breadwinner in the relationship.
When I hosted a daily radio show in Detroit, I once asked my mostly male listeners if and why they would ever marry a woman who had more money or made more money than they did. At the time, Ben Affleck was engaged to Jennifer Lopez, one of the few women in the world with far more assets than himself. He could have chosen to marry anyone, but chose one of the few women who would be the man in his relationship (which later went kaput, and I believe, partially, for that reason).
Few callers to my show said they’d want to earn less than the woman they were with, but a few said they wouldn’t mind being a kept man. However, being a kept man comes with strings. You are not “the man” in the relationship. While many couples may put out the BS line that they are 50/50, equal partners in their relationship, it’s simply not the case. There is no such thing. In every single relationship, there is a stronger and a weaker party to it. One party is always more powerful than the other.
If you are the major breadwinner, you are “the man.” You have the power. The other person is reduced to the female role. That’s simply the way it is, despite what Gloria Steinem might say or how she wants it to be. Men are hard-wired as hunter gatherers. When they are reduced to the homemaker and Mr. Mom role, it’s degrading and emasculating, despite what they might claim. They simply don’t have the respect of their female spouse that they might think they have. It’s emotional wimpitude.
So, as I read today’s Wall Street Journal article, I felt bad, on the one hand, for some of the men in the article–and on the other hand, I wondered why they’d put themselves in a relationship where they were in “the chick” role from the beginning. Despite what they usually show us in the movies, this usually doesn’t work, as it didn’t–in the final analysis–even in “Mr. Mom.”
In some of the cases in the Journal article, the man unwittingly went from being the breadwinner to the power-weak position because the wife advanced in her career, while his had plateaued.
Then, there is the issue of alimony in the first place. If you marry someone–male or female–should you be entitled to half or even a large chunk of their assets? If you were there when your spouse rose the ladder and you helped get him/her up there, you certainly deserve your share.
Joan Lunden’s case is a great example. Her ex-husband took her from chintzy, backwards, small-town hick to polished, sophisticated host of a major network news show that led in the morning ratings pre-cable TV and the Internet. He was her guru and led her to earn millions. And yet, she balked at having to pay him $18,000 per month in alimony. To paraphrase an obscene bumper sticker I once read, “Alimony is the Bleeping You Get for the Bleeping You Got.” (Not saying I agree with that.)
In the case of Joe Garnick–from the Journal article–he quit his job to help his wife move up the earnings ladder and became Mr. Mom. Bad move. The wife, now his ex, didn’t appreciate his efforts. And now she and her classless relatives are further trying to emasculate him by dissing him in print. I feel for him. In a complete reversal of the classic story, he’s now in the position that we traditionally used to think of as the ex-wife position, the woman who gave up everything for her man:

In the marriage of Joe and Diane Garnick, she logged 12-hour days as a global equity derivatives strategist for Merrill Lynch, earning several times what Mr. Garnick did as a top-performing toilet salesman. So in 2001, he quit that job to focus on raising their two girls, keeping the house clean and doing the shopping.
Following his 2002 divorce, he received alimony of $50,000 a year for four years from Ms. Garnick, now an investment strategist at Invesco Ltd.
As a stay-at-home dad, Mr. Garnick notes that he missed out on career opportunities that would have boosted his earning potential, particularly those involving travel. “I couldn’t [travel] while I had a kid,” Mr. Garnick says.
Mr. Garnick used the alimony to earn a mathematics degree from a community college. But he has returned to his old job selling toilets, where he earns only half what he did before quitting. “Society thinks that just because you are a man you can pick up a career after you have dropped it for 10 years and jump right back,” he says. “That’s just not the case.”
Still, relatives of his former wife continue referring to Mr. Garnick as a “deadbeat,” he says. And Ms. Garnick herself says, “In some instances, alimony has become akin to a social-welfare program provided by working women to their ex-husbands.”

And so, with Mr. Garnick and others, we’ve done a 180 on marriage and child-rearing. A man’s career–which is generally far more of his identity than that of a woman–is half of what it used to be because he gave it up for his power-seeking, masculine, unappreciative wife.
And we can expect to see far more of this, as the Labor Department documents that 1/3 of American wives earn more than their husbands, as of 2005. In a related note, the Journal also reported today that women with MBA degrees (and I am one) are more than twice as likely to get divorced than men with MBAs. There are similar statistics for women with law and medical degrees. And don’t forget that, as I’ve noted before, men are now becoming the endangered species, while women dominate, at professional graduate schools.
So, I ask you, is this a good thing for America–men put in the position where they are now the wives, asking for alimony? And women becoming the men, where they put their husbands in the position of giving up their masculinity–their livelihood and career–to advance that of their wives?
As I’ve answered before, only if you want your men to be women. And your women to be men.
I’m all for full equality for husbands in a divorce. But it’s a strange concept when full “equality” for men involves them having assumed the position of wife as the prerequisite.
And it simply goes against nature. Women as hunter-gatherers? Men as nurturers?
No thanks. America is not San Francisco’s Village People.

So, let me get this straight. A millionaire slacker has-been covered in tattoos, who allegedly gave his former wife Hepatitis-C and couldn’t even protect kids at his son’s birthday party (where one kid drowned to death in the swimming pool), is going to tell you and me how to live.
Yup, Tommy Lee, rapper Ludacris, actor Adrian Grenier, and other “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” celebs will star on “Planet Green,” a whole new Discovery cable television network centered on enviro-do-goodism, alleged global warming, and phony “greening” (unless you count green in their wallets–that stuff is real).
Grenier, of HBO’s “Entourage,” will star on “The Green Life,” one of the many preachy shows on this silly network starring a pyramid of public hypocrites. I would like to know just how much energy, film, and paper Grenier wasted in making and promoting his little-watched bomb of a documentary, in which he confronted his birth father. Did he recycle the movie posters and digital film prints, or are they polluting America in a landfill somewhere.

Tommy Lee & Ludacris: We Need These 2 To Show Us How to Live?!
If Planet Green really wanted to save the planet and reduce alleged global warming, the network would never exist. It creates alleged global warming by virtue of its very existence, which entails offices, electricity, energy, paper, lighting, etc., etc., etc. But “saving the planet” is really not the goal of this new cable channel. The goal is greening someone’s wallet with a different kind of “renewable” “green.”
Predictably hypocritical names associated with this network include Leonardo DiCaprio a/k/a Dicrapio, who is producing a “Green” show, and yet still lives in an energy-sucking mansion and flies alone on corporate jets, wasting yet more fuel. Green, indeed. Like I said of the others, he’s only green in his bank account.
Among other shows that are planned (no, I’m not making this up):

* “Wasted,” a contest adapted from a New Zealand format that offers cash to homeowners who cut out their “eco-horrors.”
* “Hollywood Green,” celebrity infotainment series, produced by Access Hollywood, with an eco-friendly twist.

Love that second one, in which I’m sure we’ll hear more fairy tales than from the Brother’s Grimm. Like, how Jennifer Aniston only takes 4-minute showers and brushes her teeth in the shower (she’s bragged about this to People) . . . even though, she has a gazillion-square-foot home that uses more energy than 34 average American homes do in a year. She’s from the fuel-guzzling corporate jet set, too. Oh, and all those times she eats out–not so green, when you count all of the energy to make and serve that food and keep the dining hall climactically comforting. All that gas wasted to get there and back. And all that waste created and thrown out. Oh, and the energy spent to launder the dirtied linens. Hmmm . . . very green, indeed.
Here’s my suggested programming for Planet Green:
* “Hollywood Green Wasted,” contestants get to tear down the majority of a famous enviro-preachy celebrity’s mansion–such as the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie estate–leaving only that portion, which will use only as much energy as does the average American.
* “Silicone Valley Excavations,” plastic surgery doctors normally doing humanitarian work for indigent children with cleft-palates will perform silicone implant removals from various artificially-endowed Hollywood starlets, so as not to pollute the ground when they ultimately die, are buried, and their non-biodegradable implants remain intact six-feet under. May have to have another show for dentists to remove those porcelain veneers. They’re not biodegradable, either. Sigh.

Though most of you, dear readers, don’t live in the Detroit area or even in Michigan, I think you will enjoy the two April fools that The Detroit Newsistan is serving up, today. This is a taste of the usual drivel Detroit’s more evil of the two lesser major nespapers gives us on a daily basis, but in honor of their fave namesake holiday, they decided to be twice as nice.
* First up is Shikha Dalmia. Dalmia a/k/a S.D. Melzer has two different names and aliases and regularly tries to pretend she’s two different people . . . just like illegal aliens, whom she wants to be able to legally work here through a guest worker program.
Yet, she is upset that Congressmen Heath Shuler and Tom Tancredo are trying to get a house floor vote on the Secure American Through Employment (SAVE) Act, which would require all employers to take part in the electronic verification program that checks the immigration status and work eligibility of all employees seeking work. The purpose is to, once and for all, stop employers from getting away with hiring illegal aliens because the aliens presented fake IDs. Currently, employers only need show that they made copies of two valid IDs from the worker, even if they are fake.
Many of these aliens, just like the dishonest Ms. Dalmia, also try to deceive the rest of us in America, using multiple names and aliases.
When writing op-eds in places like the Wall Street Journal, this woman writes as “S.D. Melzer, a staffer for the Mackinac Public Policy Center” of Michigan. When she writes elsewhere, as with her former employer, The Detroit Newsistan (where she regularly wrote misinformed BS about the “success” of Democracy throughout the Muslim world), she is suddenly “Shikha Dalmia of Metro Detroit, a senior analyst at the Los Angeles-based Reason Foundation.”
To sum up, this woman, like many illegal aliens seeking work here, is employing multiple names and fake personalities to deceive others and put out her silly points of view. But, she can’t, for the life of her, understand, why it’s necessary for us to require employers to verify the real identity of illegal aliens who engage in the same deceptions as Ms. Dalmia in order to obtain jobs that should go to Americans.
Those who publish her work can’t even figure out her real identity, and they’re supposed to be “reporters”–the press who digs into this kind of thing. Yet, employers are supposed to be able to know who is fake, without the e-verify system?
Ms. Dalmia is upset that, under the SAVE Act, “workers–not their employers–would have to clear things with Uncle Sam when their credentials are thrown into question.” Imagine if an employer will actually have to clear up why a woman wanting to write for the employer has two different names and personas. I guess if Dalmia can do it, why not illegal aliens?
* Next is Mekeisha Madden Toby. This woman is The Detroit Newsistan’s sub-rate “TV critic”. Problem is, she’s pretending to be a Detroiter from Los Angeles. She’s one of those people with the group think ethos that “you can’t tell the truth about Detroit.”
She’s miffed that Al Roker and his Spike TV reality show, “DEA,” shows the decrepit Detroit neighborhoods and narrates how Detroit has the highest murder rate in the country and lots of illegal guns on the street. All true. But, this woman who won’t live in Detroit and lives in LOS ANGELES, is mad that the show disses and doesn’t capture the “true” Detroit. And she knows this because she’s experiencing the “real Detroit”. . . in Sunny Los Angeles:

While the narrator spends a great deal of time at the beginning of this Al Roker-produced series telling viewers how dangerous Detroit is, how it has the highest murder rate in the country and how many hundreds of thousands of illegal guns there are on the street, Roker and his producers fail to establish a sense of place. Our Motown is so much more than a list of frightening statistics.

“Our Motown” as written from the beaches of Santa Monica? Puh-leeze. What a fraud.
Happy April Fools Day–which is every day at this “newspaper–from The Detroit Newsistan.

I already thought there was a White Tax–when tax money goes to affirmative action hiring and promotions in government jobs, minority set asides, and other programs that exclusively benefit minorities.
But I was wrong. Apparently, there is another White tax in Orlando Florida. And even White Orlando residents Mickey and Minnie had better pay up, if they want to avoid a beating:

Four men in Orlando were charged with a hate crime after they pummeled a 62-year-old woman and her two mentally-challenged companions at a public park after they didn’t pay a “fee” for being white, police said.

Investigators said the victims were walking into a Kaley Park when they were confronted by Christopher Colbert, Erick Golden, Willie Pritts and Antoniette Boone.
Police said the victims were told that since they are white, they had to pay a fee to be in the park. When the three didn’t pay, the men beat them, officers said. One of the victims was held up with a knife, a police report said.

Contrast those racist thugs with the Black female bloggers who are taking Al Sharpton to task for defending completely subhuman rapists in Palm Beach, who forced their victim to have sex with her own son:

Al Sharpton and the local chapter of the NAACP have gotten themselves into trouble with black women for trying to turn the Dunbar Village rape case into a showpiece of racial injustice.
During the past three weeks, a network of about 30 black women bloggers have been blistering Sharpton and the local NAACP for coddling the black teenagers accused taking a neighborhood woman at gunpoint into her West Palm Beach home, raping her and forcing her to have sex with her own pre-teen son.
Earlier this month, Sharpton stood in front of the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office with local NAACP officials and relatives of the accused Dunbar Village rapists to complain that these teenage boys are victims of racial discrimination.

Weird Al Shakedown Sharpton:
Race Merchant, Coke Dealer & Rapist Defender

“Sharpton bills himself as a spokesman for the voiceless,” wrote Tonyaa Weathersbee in BlackAmericaWeb.com “Too bad this time he decided to lend his voice to the ones who needed it the least – and guarantee that more raped black women will continue to suffer in silence.”
Weathersbee and other politically active black women bloggers say Sharpton has ignored the indisputable victims in the Dunbar case – a 35-year-old black woman and her 12-year-old son.
Maude Ford Lee, the president of the West Palm Beach NAACP chapter, spoke alongside Sharpton while the assembled media were handed a flier showing the photos of three of the accused Dunbar Village rapists with the words, “Voiceless, Vulnerable, Victims!!” next to them.
“These children are being unjustly persecuted because of corrupt politics, racism and economics,” the flier said. “The State Attorney’s Office has grossly overcharged these children.”
The gist of the racial discrimination complaint was that the Dunbar teenagers were being held without bond while a group of white teenagers from suburban Boca Raton charged with rape earlier this year were free on bond.
In the suburban Boca Raton case, the teens were accused of getting two neighborhood friends drunk and then raping them while they were too drunk to resist.
“Am I the only one that sees some GLARING DISTINCTIONS in these two cases that have absolutely nothing to do with the race of the defendants or am I missing something?” wrote blogger Arlene Fenton.
Fenton organized a letter-writing campaign against the local NAACP, Sharpton and his National Action Network for using the west Boca case to make victims of the Dunbar Village teenagers.
“It is breathtaking that the National Action Network brain trust can’t seem to comprehend the difference between a home invasion by masked gunmen who torture, rape, sodomize, cut, burn, and beat their victims for THREE HOURS and culminate the event with crime against nature committed against a 12-year-old child … and a case involving NONE of those facts,” Fenton wrote.

This disgusting, reprehensible man–Al Sharpton–is the one whom Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the so-called “conservative” of “The View,” praised. Remember that.
Nauseating. Oh, and by the way, where’s Weird Al Shakedown, er . . . Sharpton, on that “White Tax”? Probably collecting his cut.
Thanks to reader Duane for the tips.
