Christine O'Donnell Cancels TV Appearances After Video of Her Admitting to Practicing Witchcraft Surfaces 



No wonder even Karl Rove was killing this broad. Wonder what Sarah Palin who's been going HARD for this chick has to say about this. All those idiots in the GOP who jumped on the bandwagon after her primary win must be feeling STUPID right about now. Hopefully one day Americans will look back on this period in their history and ask, "What the f-ck was all that Tea Party lunacy about??"

Pastor Terry Jones On the Koran Burning: 'Not Today, Not Ever' 



Read more on this at MSNBC.com HERE.

I feel like I shouldn't give this moron a platform, even on my little blog but at least he made the right decision in the end.

Video of the Interfaith Press Conference at The National Press Club in Washington DC 



While everyone else is hyping up this nut-job Terry Jones, the so-called Pastor behind the absurd 'Burn a Koran Day' scheduled for this Saturday I'm gonna spread love (and tolerance), it's the Brooklyn Way!

Video: Jan Brewer Train Wrecks Her Opening Statement in the First Arizona Gubernatorial Debate 



Gov. Jan Brewer, the woman behind Arizona's divisive and controversial new immigration law, crashes and burns in her opening remarks at what will likely now be the only gubernatorial election campaign debate. This is what passes for a rising star in the G.O.P. but people question Obama's bona fides??! *Smdh....*

Music Video: Jasiri X - Dr. King's Nightmare: Dr. King Responds to Glenn Beck 




Via Jasiri X:

"This was part of a song Me and Paradise the Arkitech had intended to do as coverage of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, as well as Al Sharpton's "Reclaim the Dream" rally. The plan was to spit a rhyme from both perspectives then end with a verse from Dr. King himself. We eventually decided to scrap the idea and concentrate on our next video. However, this article by Legendary Hip-Hop Journalist Davey D inspired me to record my Dr. King verse to Kayne West's "Power" and create a video around it.

Written from the perspective of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jasiri X responds to Glenn Beck's rally and the growing racial and economic divide in America. From the police's brutal beating of Jordan Miles in Pittsburgh and murder of Oscar Grant in Oakland, the increasing poverty and joblessness, to the ever expanding racial division lead by the rhetoric of those like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin... Dr. King's dream has turned into a nightmare."


LYRICS
I can't believe 47 years after our march
Instead of more enlightened y'all going back to the dark
I thought this was the generation that would capture the spark
To see it even more divided is like a stab to the heart
So ashamed that they want to evoke my name
To try a stoke the flame and make folks deranged
Trying to find scape goats to blame
That lynch mob mentality was the reason from ropes we hanged
So why try to provoke the pain is ya hope and aim
To see the flag blood soaked and stained
These wicked special interests try to coach the game
Cause the wider the divide they have the most to gain
See my dream was far deeper than racial equality
Tried to rid America of the disgrace of poverty
And challenge the government to create the policies that would make equality not a fake democracy
That spend billions on war with such great hypocrisy
And that's the reason that I met fate on that balcony
That's the reason that I met my fate on the balcony
That's the real reason that I met my fate on that balcony
No fool like Beck should have all that power
Buying into all that fear makes you a coward
Whose gonna stand up for the poor in this hour.

NYC Cabbie Ahmed Sharif Stabbed for Being Muslim! 



Weirdly as the video point out for those too lazy to watch it to the end, the attacker, college student Michael Enright actually took part in a trip to Afghanistan sponsored by an organization that promotes interfaith tolerance and understanding. Depending on what you read, that trip may have triggered PTSD in him or he's a drunk, not a racist or he is just an anti-Muslim racist. You decide, I guess!

Despite growing evidence of increasing Anti-Muslim sentiment throughout the US though, the Right Wing there continues to keep their head in the sand.

News: President Obama defends plans for Ground Zero mosque 



He's right! The anti-Muslim bigotry rearing its ugly head around the US is ridiculous and I say that as someone who lived in NY during the 9/11 attacks and who got woken up every cotdamn morning around 5:30 by the Call-to-prayer at the mosque on the corner of the block I lived on in Bed-Stuy during my last year in Brooklyn!

Michele Bachmann thinks Pres. Obama is turning Americans into a 'Nation of Slaves' 

Photobucket

This broad is amazing! Read the f-ckery HERE.

What would you expect though from this idiot who co-signs the Tea Party movement's mission. For her to claim to have never seen anything that could be considered even remotely racist at any Tea Party rallies simply strains credulity!

But enough of the polarizing racially-tainted stories burning up the newswires. Let's move on to some other stuff that shows that, here at The Kitchen, we don't see color!

Shirley Sherrod and the Race Issue Run Amok in the US (Again!) 



Apparently the Right Wing Blogosphere went crazy yesterday when an edited version of the above video of USDA Georgia official, Shirley Sherrod addressing a local chapter of the NCAA purportedly showing her to be a 'racist' went viral.

Watch the video though, in particular around the 16:30 mark which is where you can watch the full unedited part of her words that were taken out of context by Andrew Breibart's Big Government blog. Of course, the reality of Sherrod's word was far less sinister (read: the total opposite of what was being alleged). Sadly though, even the NCAA, who hosted the event where this 'scandal' all kicked off in the first place, and allegedly the White House got caught up in the BS.

The Tea Party and wingnuts must have been doing a jig when this bogus-ass story broke and the spotlight was temporarily off their f-ckery though. Amazingly, they are now even attacking the NCAA for having joined in their witch-hunt condemning Sherrod's supposed bigotry. *Smdh...*

Music Video: Jasiri X - What if the Tea Party was Black? 



I posted a link to this the other day but thought it deserved its own post because it was so well done. Here's the back-story:

"A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, "What if the Tea Party Were Black" which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing. Now Pittsburgh rapper, Jasiri X is accepting his challenge in true Hip-Hop form.

The Hip Hop artist says that he got the idea when Paradise, a member of the pro-black rap group X-Clan, forwarded him a copy of Wise's article. "I saw the article and I liked the concept," says the rapper. So Jasiri hit the studio with producer, Cynik Lethal while Paradise grabbed his video camera and they went on their mission to defeat the Right Wing propaganda machine."

Rand Paul: The Scary New Face of the Tea Party Movement? 

The front:




The reality:

Rand Paul calls Obama BP criticism 'un-American' - WTF??! Who's coming out in defense of BP??

In an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Paul says he does not fully support the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act! He woulda fought to maintain private businesses' right to continue being racist. I'm gonna applaud him for keeping it real even though now in the wake of the fallout and outcry, he's backpedaling like a muhf-cka!

Sigh... Yet Another Conservative Anti-Gay Activist Turns Out To Be Gay! 



*Smh....* Rentboy.com??!? LOL!!! Seriously though, how many times I'm gonna read this story? Pretty much at this point in the game if you're one of these so-called religious right, conservative anti-gay activist obsessives, I'm gonna assume you're probably covering up for the fact that you're really actually gay....

Seriously though (not really), the entire story of George Rekers' week-long vacation in Europe with a male prostitute is pure comedy. Read about it on Huff Post HERE.
