Alan Colmes Leaves Hannity & Colmes For Liberal Pastures

Realizing I think that liberalism is back and "in" and "green", Alan Colmes of Hannity & Colmes on Fox News, is leaving at the end of the year .  He's already got a blog up called "Liberland" under the URL http://www.alan.com -- I'm not kidding.

Mark Halperin Thinks Election Coverage Was Pro-Obama? That's Nuts

I just read on Politico.com's Forum page that Mark Halperin's wining and moaning that the media was "in the tank" or "pro" Obama.


That's nuts.


For two years with "Obama Rapid Response" I've worked to counter Fox News coverage, the Washington Posts line of dirty "Why did you run this and keep bringing up Rev. Wright" articles, and a constant slew of "Obama is Muslim" crap that even the Associated Press played into.


All of that, and more, and Halperin thinks the media was "pro-Obama".


That's just plain false. I'll write more on this soon. But there's your warning.

Ralph Nader Calls President-Elect Obama an "Uncle Tom" And Will Not Appologize

Well, whatever respect I had for Ralph Nader, and it was still considerable at a factor of 6 out of 10, was just reduced to 4 out of 10. This is because the Independent candidate for President, who got trounced by Senator Barack Obama last night, got on a Houston radio station and referred to Ralph Nader as an "Uncle Tom", which is a historically insulting term claiming that a Black person is White in some way and is intended to say that person's "not Black." Then Nader repeated the racist action on "Studio B with Shepard Smith". Here's the video:




I don't know why Nader's decided to be so racist so late in life, but such statements as that one and his earlier assertion that Obama "talks White " point to a major stereotype Nader holds about African Americans and would seem to "color" any good deed he wants to do in the future.

SARAH PALIN STILL DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE VP DOES!!!

Man, enough is enough.  I applaud the Draft Palin movement for their work, but a little more vetting was in order.  She's got the VP role wrong , yet again.  On Fox News, which gave her a pass because it doesn't want a smart Black President Obama over a not so with it White President or VP (or maybe they don't know themselves), she said this :  

"Well, they've got to be exclusively, of course, concentrating on the administrative side of governance and there again, that's where my executive experience will be put to good use."

NO.  Sarah, why not admit that you are not well-informed.  But on second thought, since Election Day is one day off, keep talking!  This is great!!  OBAMA 08!

More Props to Nas

About a week ago, we gave Props to Nas for a song on his new album called "Black President." There's another song on there that you should check out, "Sly Fox." Here are sample lyrics:


Watch what you're watching
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking outside of the box
And unplugged from the Matrix stopped you
But watch what you say, Fox Fire is watching

Only fox that I loved was the red one
Only black man that Fox love is
in jail or a dead one


Can you guess at which major TV news network that song is aimed? The song drew the attention of ColorofChange.org, which has its own campaign to get Fox to stop using "racist smears" (think terrorist fist jab and Michelle Obama as baby mama, for example). ColorofChange.org contacted Nas and they joined forces against Fox, most recently protesting outside Fox News HQ in Manhattan. We think this is a great partnership. For more details on the rally at Fox, see Fox News On-Air Racism Challenged by Huge Petition Drive and Hot Rapper Nas.

Tony Snow - Former Bush Press Secretary Passes Of Colon Cancer

Tony Snow, former White House / Bush Administration Press Secretary, passed away at the young age of 53 after his battle with Colon Cancer.

He will be missed. I always enjoyed his perspective and his reasoned approach. He seemed like a very good person.
