Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Frequent Sean Hannity Show Guest, Says Mistake Giving Women Right to Vote in America

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a  frequent Fox News guest, drew widespread condemnation for saying women should have never been given the right to vote. Um, Jesse Lee Peterson is one of Sean Hannity’s frequent guests and sits on the board of his organization. He said women are leading the United States down a path of wickedness because they have too much political power. Here’s another so-called civil rights leader who has gotten it all wrong.

Pat Buchanan Blames “People of Color,” “Militant Gay Rights Groups” for Pending MSNBC Termination

Pat Buchanan blames “militant gay rights groups” and “people of color” for pending termination from MSNBC. Really Pat? Could your continued association with white supremacist groups be the straw that broke the camel’s back? Well, Pat Buchanan attacked gay rights and civil rights groups for pressuring MSNBC network president Phil Griffin to fire him after the release of his latest book, Suicide of a Superpower.  His appearance on racist The Political Cesspool radio show may have played a role in their decision as well. We reviewed the book, ” Suicide of a Superpower,” which we found to be racist and just plain disgusting, particularly the chapters entitled “The End of White America” and “The Death of Christian America.” Why any one published this book is beyond me, but people will do crazy things in the name of profit.

Pat Buchanan told Sean Hannity, “Look, for a long period of time the hard left, militant gay rights groups, militant — they call themselves civil rights groups, but I’m not sure they’re concerned about civil rights — people of color, Van Jones, these folks and others have been out to get Pat Buchanan off T.V., deny him speeches, get his column canceled.”

“This has been done for years and years and years and it’s the usual suspects doing the same thing again. But my view is, you write what you believe to be the truth.” Buchanan said he has not received a “formal notification” of his termination from the network, although executives have hinted that he will not return to the airwaves.

Not to worry, Fox News would probably welcome Pat Buchanan with open arms. I have been blogging about Pat Buchanan’s vile racist rhetoric for years. The chickens have come home to roost.

Listen to Pat Buchanan being interviewed by Sean Hannity:

NC Pastor Bob Ritter Tells Sean Hannity President Obama "Treats God Like a Spare Tire"

Pastor Bob Ritter of Eastside Baptist Church in NC, tells Sean Hannity, President Obama “treats God like a spare tire.”

Pastor Bob Ritter, who leads the Eastside Baptist Church in Nebo, NC, says President Obama treats God like a “spare tire.” He recently met with the president as he traveled through North Carolina, but uttered the comments on Sean Hannity’s show:

“Well, they call this the Bible Belt, and sometimes I question that [when] we don’t act much like it…But this president’s treated God like a spare tire. And honestly, a lot of government does that.”

But what exactly does Ritter mean saying the President treats “God like spare tire”? Pastor Ritter explains to Hannity:

“When a crisis comes, we pull God out of the trunk and we call for pastors to come to schools when there’s been a shooting; we called for prayer after 9/11…But then the sad thing is when it all works and God gives our country peace of heart and protects us, since 9/11 we’ve put God back in the trunk…God’s not a spare wheel…He’s supposed to be the steering wheel.” Source

Wow, another right wing evangelical spewing hypocrisy. I wonder how he viewed former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton’s treatment of God?

"Talkmaster" Neal Boortz Says President Obama is "Bigger Disaster to This Country Than 9-11"

Neal Boortz tells Sean Hannity that President Barack Obama is a “bigger disaster to this country than 9-11.”

Don Imus, Appearing on Fox News "Hannity," Calls President Obama a "Hypocrite" and a "Phony"

Don Imus appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News last night and let his feelings on President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden be known. He told Hannity he thought President Obama “was a hypocrite and a phony,” and that Biden, in the 100 times he’s interviewed him, has said “far worse things” than he’s ever said on radio. He said in his view, Biden’s “a moron” Wow, and Imus is a towering pillar of strength in the black community. Of course, I am being sarcastic. Couldn’t we make the same argument that Imus was a “hypocrite” and a “phony” when he was groveling after using a derogatory phrase to describe members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team?

Rudy Giuliani, Appearing on Fox News, Tells President Obama to Shut up About Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s Arrest

Good ole self-righteous Rudy Giuliani is back on the political scene again! Suddenly he has become the moral compass of the Republican Party again, despite his many, many shortcomings — affairs and all. But the issue I have with him is the fact that he has proven once again how disrespectful and rude he is. During his interview with Sean Hannity, another idiot, he condemned President Obama’s health care plan. Gee, I wonder what he would propose? Of course, he never listened to his constituents in New York City during his tenure as mayor. You will recall that racial tensions were at an all-time high during his years as mayor.
Rudy Giuliani, who has returned as a leading Republican spokesman, condemned Obama’s health care plan in an interview with Sean Hannity.

He also offered his feelings, in response to the president’s hope that Gatesgate would be a “teachable moment,” this:

“He’s actually right. It is teachable. Here’s the lesson: Shut up.”

Now, is that the way for someone to talk about or to the President of the United States? I didn’t hear Giuliani groveling after President Bush realized that Bernie Kerik, his police commissioner, was a liar, a cheat and an adulterer? Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised that this brand of vitriol occurred on Fox News, or as I like to call them, Faux News.

Neo-Nazis Enlist in the U.S. Military, Aided by Relaxed Requirements Due to Sagging Recruitment, Reenlistment Numbers

fogarty Neo Nazis Enlist in the U.S. Military, Aided by Relaxed Requirements Due to Sagging Recruitment, Reenlistment NumbersI was horrified to read on Salon that neo-Nazis are allowed to join our military. The Army has regulations that specifically prohibit soldiers from participating in racist groups, and recruiters are instructed to keep an eye out for suspicious tattoos. Before signing off on the forms, enlistees are required to explain any tattoos. But it seems like this was deliberately ignored by one recruitment office. According to Salon, at a Tampa recruitment office, Iraq War veteran Forrest Fogarty didn’t have a problem enlisting, he just sailed right through the signup process. “They just told me to write an explanation of each tattoo, and I made up some stuff, and that was that,” he says and soon he was posted to Fort Stewart in Georgia, where he became part of the 3rd Infantry Division. He was sent to Iraq for two years. He reportedly served in the military police, escorting officers, including generals around the country. Here’s the kicker, he was granted top-secret clearance and access to battle plans. Of course, this tour of duty didn’t change him one bit. It increased his racist resolve.

Fogarty speaks with regret that he “never had any kill counts.” But he says his time in Iraq increased his racist resolve. “I hate Arabs more than anybody, for the simple fact I’ve served over there and seen how they live,” he tells me. “They’re just a backward people. Them and the Jews are just disgusting people as far as I’m concerned. Their customs, everything to do with the Middle East, is just repugnant to me.”

Because of his tattoos and his racist comments, most of his buddies and his commanding officers were aware of his Nazism. “They all knew in my unit,” he says. “They would always kid around and say, ‘Hey, you’re that skinhead!’” But no one sounded an alarm to higher-ups. “I would volunteer for all the hardest missions, and they were like, ‘Let Fogarty go.’ They didn’t want to get rid of me.” Source: Salon

It seems that the U.S. military has relaxed its rules since the launch of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, because it has struggled with recruitment and reenlistment of troops. The military has issued “moral waivers” in many cases, even allowing those with criminal records to join up. I wonder who they thought they would attract with the relaxed rules. Funny, they may have opened a Pandora’s box. You see, this has opened the doors to neo-Nazis, white supremacists and gang members, all with potentially drastic consequences. Some of these very same neo-Nazis have been charged with crimes inside the military, and others have been linked to recruitment efforts for the white right. The right wing scoffed at a recent Department of Homeland Security report, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” all the while ignoring the fact that this vile brand of extremism is on the rise, emboldened by people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Mike Savage, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan and many others.

Many white supremacists join the Army to secure training for, as they see it, a future domestic race war. Others claim to be shooting Iraqis not to pursue the military’s strategic goals but because killing “hajjis” is their duty as white militants.

Following an investigation of white supremacist groups, a 2008 FBI report declared: “Military experience — ranging from failure at basic training to success in special operations forces — is found throughout the white supremacist extremist movement.” In white supremacist incidents from 2001 to 2008, the FBI identified 203 veterans. Most of them were associated with the National Alliance and the National Socialist Movement, which promote anti-Semitism and the overthrow of the U.S. government, and assorted skinhead groups. Source: Salon

This is very troubling, indeed, and something drastic needs to be done and quickly. The education of recruiters about how to identify extremists seems to have fallen by the wayside, as well. How else do you explain all these neo-Nazis and white supremacists passing the initial process with flying colors. These are the things the U.S. Congress and all the right-wing loudmouths need to talk about. It is unconscionable that we could have such extremism in the military, of all places.

I would encourage each of my readers to read the entire article.

Neo-Nazi and Hate Blogger Harold "Hal" Turner, Arrested on Fugitive Warrant for Threatening to Incite Violence Against Three Connecticut Lawmakers

 Neo Nazi and Hate Blogger Harold "Hal" Turner, Arrested on Fugitive Warrant for Threatening to Incite Violence Against Three Connecticut Lawmakers
Hate blogger Harold “Hal” Turner nervously passes his hand
over his mouth when he appeared in a Jersey City courtroom


Harold “Hal” Turner, a neo-Nazi and “friend” of Sean Hannity, has gotten himself in a heap of trouble. He appeared in court on Friday for the first time since he was arrested last Wednesday for threatening that several lawmakers in Connecticut should be shot. Turner is on a closed circuit feed beamed in to the Hudson County (NJ) Courthouse from the Hudson County Jail. This picture is quite comical because if the truth be told, he should have covered his mouth a long time ago. His lawyer, Michael A. Orozco, vowed to fight extradition for this nutjob. Really? Such requests are rarely successful, so Hal Turner had better be ready for the “mother of all fights.”

Turner was arrested Wednesday by North Bergen police on a fugitive from justice warrant based on the Connecticut charge of inciting injury. Officials say that while championing a lawsuit filed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, Conn., Turner used his blog to incite violence against three Connecticut officials.

The three officials Turner laced into on his blog are Connecticut state Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, and state Rep. Michael Lawlor, D-East Haven, co-chairmen of the Judiciary Committee, and Thomas Jones, enforcement officer for the Office of State Ethics.

On his blog, Turner wrote: “It is our intent to foment direct action against these individuals personally. These beastly government officials should be made an example of as a warning to others in government: Obey the Constitution or die.

If any state attorney, police department or court thinks they’re going to get uppity with us about this; I suspect we have enough bullets to put them down too,” he added. Source: NJ.com

There’s a big difference between freedom of speech and terroristic threats, which this amounts to. He can fight the extradition all he wants, those requests are rarely successful. He should put his money where his mouth is and face the music. Let’s see if the Roman Catholic Church will come to his rescue. Hah! This picture is priceless.

Erich "Mancow" Muller, Conservative Chicago Radio Host, Changes His Mind: Waterboarding Is ‘Absolutely Torture’

Pssst, Dick Cheney, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, conservative Chicago radio host Erich “Mancow” Muller has more guts than you can ever dream of having. He voluntarily underwent waterboarding this morning to prove his point that it is not torture. But guess what, he resoundingly proved a counterpoint. Lasting only six seconds, he concluded that waterboarding was, in fact, torture. If I recall correctly, he said that it was like drowning. This speaks volumes. Imagine undergoing such a horrific act 182 times and Dick Cheney has the nerve to say that isn’t torture. Former President George W. Bush and Cheney should be waterboarded to see how they would fare.

Wanda Sykes’ Comedy Act at Correspondents’ Dinner Mostly Funny, Controversial Jabs Against Rush Limbaugh, Hits Sean Hannity On Waterboarding

Well, Wanda Sykes will be in the news tomorrow and I am pretty sure she will be the first topic “GOP leader” Rush Limbaugh rants about on Monday. Personally, I have never been a big Wanda Sykes fan and she did not do herself much good tonight at the Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington D. C. Her comedy was pitchy at times and some of her jokes were funny, some offensive, while others fell flat. What else did you expect to hear from Ms. Sykes? She is cutting-edge and a no-holds barred comedian. In essence, whoever booked her got what they deserved. She hit all the Obama naysayers squarely in the eyes — Sean Hannity, Dick Cheney and yes, Rush Limbaugh, who she said was the 20th September 11th terrorists who missed the flight because he was strung out on Oxycontin. Ouch.

This routine will undoubtedly be criticized by the right wing and yes, Rush Limbaugh will rant about being called a terrorist on Monday morning. To his comments about his desire to see President Obama fail was met with a stinging and over-the-top response from Sykes — “the President ought to look into treason against Rush Limbaugh and that he was no better than Osama bin Laden.” She said she “hoped his kidneys failed.” Ouch. That was a very uncomfortable moment for the President and First Lady and I am sure this will stick in the minds of many. Sykes also sensed that she had shocked the crowd with that remark. She said, “Too much? But you’re laughing on the inside…” In actuality, it wasn’t funny at all. But the White House Correspondents’ Association should have known that Wanda Sykes was a very tart-tongued comedian who goes for the jugular.

Let’s backtrack a little. Sykes started off her routine speaking admiringly of the president and then wife Michelle, and lobbed gently funny, but soft hits their way — about Obama’s basketball prowess, and Michelle’s bare arms and their history-making presidency.

“This is amazing, you’re the first black president. I’m proud to be able to say. But that’s unless you screw up. And then it’s going to be, ‘What’s up with that half-white guy? Who voted for the mulatto. What the hell?’ ” She also poked fun at Nancy Pelosi, saying it was the House Speaker’s idea for Obama and VP Joe Biden to grab hamburgers for lunch the other day. “You guys can’t hang out out together. What’d she say, ‘Why don’t you boys go out and get a bite’? You know she was a Hillary supporter.”

Then the “oh my God moment started” as her tone changed dramatically and she started hitting on former President George W. Bush. “I gotta say, he broke a lot of stuff. You thought you were moving into a new home, and you’ve got a fixer-upper. And there are a lot of things that need to be fixed.” About the criticism Obama received from animal rights activists concerning his choice of a pedigreed pup,” Sykes said, “The man has to rescue a country that’s been abused by its previous owner. Let him have a dog.”

On the subject of Dick Cheney, Sykes commented, “Oh my god, that’s a scary man. Scares me to death. I tell my kids if two cars pull up, and one has a stranger, and the other car has Dick Cheney, you get in the car with the stranger.” And she criticized the former VP for “trying to defend torture”.

Of course, the right wing will find a reason to blame President Obama, as evidenced from the fact that he laughed during her Oxycontin jab, but again, the blame for anything Sykes said that was shocking lies at the feet of the WHCA and the folks who didn’t bother to do their homework before they asked her to perform. Wanda Sykes says what’s on her mind, with no reservations. Well, I guess she won’t be the headliner at any other political functions in Washington D. C. in the near future.
