This is what your religion tells you to do? This is what your heart tells you to do?
I’ve had mixed feelings about Keith Olbermann’s Special Comments, but this one should be universally watched.
A Disgrace
Nikki Tinker, supposed Democrat, is a disgrace.
In the culmination of a racially fraught Congressional campaign in Memphis, a black candidate is linking her liberal-leaning white primary opponent in Thursday’s contest, Representative Steve Cohen, to the Ku Klux Klan in a television advertisement.
Mr. Cohen’s campaign said it was an unusually direct effort to inject race into the contest.
The advertisement for the challenger, Nikki Tinker, juxtaposes Mr. Cohen’s picture with that of a hooded Klansman, and criticizes Mr. Cohen for voting against renaming a park in Memphis currently named for the Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Ku Klux Klan founder.
“This makes you wonder,” a black former county commissioner, Walter Bailey, says in the advertisement. “Who is the real Steve Cohen?”
Olbermann calls out Turner’s ad for what it is.
This is disgraceful, regardless of which side of the aisle it’s coming from.
Freedom (of Speech) Isn’t Free
Dear President Bush,
As we loyal Americans all know, the president’s wartime powers under the Constitution gives the president the authority to do anything he feels necessary, even if it would otherwise be unconstitutional. There are some people in this country who, despite the fact that 9/11 changed everything, don’t realize that their hateful America-hating endangers our troops and strengthens the al Qaeda-Iran alliance. Therefore, I hope that you will use your unlimited constitutional wartime to authority to to rescind the following traitors’ right to freedom of speech:
- Markos Moulitsas Zúniga and the editors of DailyKos.com: they want more Americans to die by preventing you from using FISA to spy on us.
- Writers of Sadly, No!: they regularly harass loyal Republicans and disrespect wholesome Christian music; possible al Qaeda sleeper cell.
- John Cole: committed treason by leaving Republican party and is occasionally proud of having done so.
- Center for American Progress: publishers of ThinkProgress, a compilation of America-hatred.
- Washington Nationals fans: disrespected you during a war.
- Keith Olbermann: called you the worst person in the world.
- Crooks and Liars: thinks the terrorists you’re keeping at Gitmo are innocent (with a name like that, they should really write about themselves).
- AmericaBlog: trying to get your loyal supporters kicked out of Congress; takes the name of America in vain.
Freedom isn’t free, not even freedom of speech. I hope you will take appropriate action against these haters.
Patriotically yours,
