Obama Interrupted By, “Blacks Against Obama”
Obama was in the middle of speaking about the economic crisis when a roar rippled across the crowd of supporters. When the cameras turned away, they caught a glimpse several black protesters holding up signs against the Democratic presidential candidate.

Hil Redeems Self in Eyes of Pundits [Conventional Wisdom]
Did you watch Hillary Clinton's speech last night? She went on late, and long, but we watched. It was pretty good! She is much better at giving speeches than she used to be. We are depressed that no one does big angry barnstorming Jesse Jackson speeches anymore except the tiny white tomte from Cleveland but whatever. Her speech was good on its own merits. A well-delivered and pleasantly inoffensive series of uplifting syllables. The second it ended liberal favorite Keith Olbermann was all "she hit it out of

Jackson uses N-word in crude off-air remarks
CHICAGO - For decades the Rev. Jesse Jackson has rallied against the use of the N-word — an ethnic slur he has repeatedly told the American public is hateful and degrading. But Fox News confirmed to The Associated Press Wednesday that the longtime civil rights activist used the term in what Jackson thought was a private conversation during a break from a TV interview. Jackson has already come under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against presumptive Democratic presidential candidate

Peggy Noonan Sorry For Truth-Telling Accident [Peggy Noonan]
You'll no doubt recall how Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan yesterday inadvertently told MSNBC that Sarah Palin's nomination as the Republican vice presidential candidate was "political bullshit." What you may not appreciate is that poor Noonan was "mugged by the nature of modern media," just like Jesse Jackson when he appeared on Journal corporate sibling Fox News. To clear the air, Noonan told a story about how the selection of Palin this year is a lot like the selection of Dan Quayle to the tic

Their Jesse Jackson Moment
Murphy, who's also a Time columnist and contributes to MSNBC, was on air with Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan this week. And when anchor Chuck Todd cut to a clip, the three of them began talking, not realizing that a technical glitch was allowing viewers nationwide to listen to their comments LIVE! Todd was caught saying, "I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too." While Murphy commented, "Still McCain can give a version of the Lieber

Is the N-Word appropriate during sex?
With all this talk a few weeks back about Jesse Jackson referring to black people as niggers, I got to thinking about the various ways the N-word is used. Many people are against the N-word, pro the N-word, or just don't care. For me, I'm more concerned about reading levels then the use of the N-word. Still, the N-word brings up so many emotions. Is it a term that has been reinvented? Is it a term that represents the murder of millions of black people? Hmmm… what about during sex? If it's fantasy, is the

Video: Hip Hop’s Negative Influence On Our Children, Pt. 2
This video is a very sad sign of the times that we are living in. The children’s young mother, who is holding the camera, was probably raised on Hip Hop videos which taught her to have very little respect for herself or others. She has passed those negative values down to her precious children. When I was a kid, the Rev. Jesse Jackson helmed a program called Save the Children, which taught black children to have pride in ourselves and our heritage. Today, rappers have replaced our leaders and our
