Today in Schadenfreude

A jury in Kentucky of all places has found the head of the Imperial Klans of America personally liable for $1,000,000 in damages in a suit brought by a Hispanic teenager savagely beaten by racist thugs on the orders of Imperial Wizard Ron Edwards. It is expected that the ruling, if upheld, will drive the poor man into bankruptcy. I don't think Mr. Edwards should expect a Federal bailout anytime soon.

With some Republican you hardly have to scratch the surface at all

Meet David Storck, chairman of the Republican Party of a county in Florida and repentant spammer who sent out a email to his loyal supporters complaining about

"car loads of black Obama supporters coming from the inner city to cast their votes for Obama...This is their chance to get a black president and they seem to care little the he is at minimum a socialist and probably Marxist in his core beliefs....After all he is black- no experience or accomplishments but he is black."

His explanation for this wee slip up is that he forgot to read the email first; so he's just an idiot and not an idiotic racist then.

Curiouser and curiouser

As I noted earlier I was sure that the right wing nuts would not scream about an impending terror attack over the arrest of two good white, Christian Americans for planning a suicide attack that would have seen over 100 people killed because of their race, some of them mutilated, and the assassination of an extremely prominent American politician. However one would think that the main stream press should have the fucking cojones to call it what it is; a planned terror attack on the American mainland. I would be wrong! Shame, shame, shame!

21st century Fascism

It turns out that the recently deceased extreme right wing Austrian hate-monger Jörg Haider, may have had a bit of a thing going on with the man who is his successor at the helm of the Bündnis Zukunft Österreich.

Stefan Petzner told Austrian radio that Mr Haider, whom he met five years ago, was "the man of my life".

The BZÖ claims the relationship between the two men was strictly platonic.

Hr. Haider was married with two kids.

Shorter Rush Limbaugh

"Obama started it. He had a black father!"

The news from the Keystone State

The head of Pennsylvania's Federation of College Republicans, one Adam LaDuca, has been forced to resign after he made "insensitive" comments about Barack Obama on his Facebook page. The recalcitrant Mr. LaDuca had written that the junior Senator from Illinois had "a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would.)" In his defense the young man said that he is not a racist and that "it was just a dumb move on my part to make a statement like that public". (Emphasis mine.)

The 21 year old Kutztown State student, undoubtedly majoring in media studies is expected to graduate from the University sometime in 2025 and immediately move to Alaska and run for governor.

Here we go again

Fraser Nelson, of the right wing magazine The Spectator has used the term "uppity" to refer to Senator Obama. Given that Mr. Nelson is British, but not stupid, he might make the argument that he doesn't understand the repugnant and racist undertones, but I don't believe. Rep. Westmoreland has has tried to plead ignorance for the same remark but, given that he's from Georgia, there is no chance that any intelligent American would believe him.

When can we expect your resignation Representative Westmoreland?

Because I don't believe that there is an American alive who believes a white Republican from Georgia who claims that he doesn't know that using the term "uppity" to describe an African American is offensive.

Today in infamy

On this day in 1955 14 year old Emmett Till was tortured and murdered by good Christian white folk in Money, Mississippi.

Hero of the day

L.F. Eason III of Raleigh NC gave up the only job that he had ever had rather than lower the US flag to "honour" racist pig Jesse Helms.

Show him some love!

Yes, everything is bigger in Texas...

...especially the bigotry.

Today in infamy - "ain't no nigras goin' here" edition

Forty five years ago today George Wallace, the courageous Governor of Alabama, stood in a doorway at the University of Alabama in a vain attempt to prevent two African-American students from enrolling.

For starters he's never going to play for the All Blacks now, is he?

A local councillor from Paraparaumu-Raumati in New Zealand dressed up in Klu Klux Klan klobber to protest national hoodie day. I just hope he doesn't dress up as a Nazi you Yom Kippur.

Damn meddling UN

We know how to treat our nigras, spics, kikes, camel jockeys OK? We don't need any advice from the UN.

Are you ready for the Great Bible Quiz Boycott of '08?

It seems that you have to be a (proper) Jew to enter, a rule that is in no way bigoted, and apparently some folks believe that this entrant is insufficiently Jewish to qualify.

Should Barack Obama become US President...

...I would think that he will not be soothed by the news that a Secret Service agent has been suspended after a noose was found hanging at the Service's main training facility; but that's just a guess.

Meet the new Zionists (and don't forget your armband)

The British National Party has discovered that it can remain anti-Semitic and love the Jews by shifted their irrational hatred to Muslims and Arabs instead. Expect gefilte fish at your next BNP committee meeting.

At least we know the exchange rate now

At a memorial service for the Jewish students who were murdered in Jerusalem last month Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, head of the yeshiva where they were killed, said that "the life of one yeshiva boy is worth more than the lives of 1,000 Arabs". Now I am not trying to lessen the tragedy or excuse the killing of these young men but can you imagine the uproar and condemnation that would follow if these same remarks had been spoken by a Muslim cleric and the ratio reversed? Exactly and yet in this case the silence is deafening!

As long as remarks such as these are accepted, from either side, there is no chance for peace. Perhaps that is what he wishes.

A reminder

Israel is most certainly not an apartheid state so we must find an alternate interpretation of this High Court decision that closes a highway through (illegally) occupied Palestinian territory to Palestinians "for the convenience of Israeli travelers".

Any suggestions?

If this guy wasn't a rabbi...

...people would probably consider this fatwa religious pronouncement racist. But since Chaim Kanievsky is a rabbi, not to mention a "Torah sage", there is nothing to worry about.
