Palin hits the books, and come up with this racist tweet..
I still have to wonder if it was Palin are some poor intern work for her sorry butt..
Over at her Facebook page, they are fast blocking those who don’t agree with statements..
Palin comments about recently release emails.
We now know that the State Department sent an email to the White House, the Pentagon, the FBI and others in the intelligence community about this Islamist group claiming responsibility. And yet for days afterwards the White House and State Department led everyone to believe that the attack was the result of a spontaneous protest over an obscure YouTube video that had been uploaded months prior. Anywhere from 300 to 400 people from the administration and our intelligence community would have seen that email. Why the lies? Why the cover up? Why the dissembling about the cause of the murder of our ambassador on the anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil? We deserve answers to this. President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end.
this is from a commenter on this above story,
Palin is a Queen of "shuck and Jive"..She bailed out of her responsibility as a Governor..She is a Honky tonk Queen..

Nivea Pulls Highly Racial Ad
The ad was heavily criticized: The "message couldn't be clearer: natural hair on a black man isn't a style preference or a nod to afrocentrism—it's straight-up uncivilized," wrote GOOD's Nona Willis Aronowitz. Public outrage ensued, especially on Twitter, which resulted in a prompt apology by Nivea.
Beiersdorf AG, the parent company of Nivea, released the following statement to CNN: “After realizing that this ad is misleading, it was immediately withdrawn.” The apology also emphasized that Nivea values and represents “diversity, tolerance, and equal opportunity.” Nivea USA also posted on its Facebook page: “This ad was inappropriate and offensive. It was never our intention to offend anyone, and for this we are deeply sorry. This ad will never be used again.”
The controversy unfolded across Twitter on Wednesday. #Nivea became one of the top trending topics on the social networking platform.
Yet I have to wonder if this was white in the photo, would any one really complain??
Racism was so yesterday, let move on to a better future..

A F A: The First Amendment Only Applies To Christians, and no other religion.
Ok WTF, has Bryan Fischer been smoking or drinking???
"The First Amendment was written neither to guarantee freedom of religion to Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus nor to prohibit their free exercise of religion. It wasn’t written about them one way or another. It was written for one specific purpose: to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion. We must be clear: the First Amendment does not prohibit the free exercise of alternative religions, but neither does it guarantee it. It simply does not address the issue at all." - American Family Association spokesman and national radio host Bryan Fischer.
Mrs. Fischer, If there is one, please get your hubby to the doctor asap, I think he is suffering from some strange type brain disease.

Rep. Stephen LaRoque of Lenoir County exposed as a Racist, WOW
It turns out, in fact, that calling the NAACP and other people with whom he disagrees “racist” is something that LaRoque does on a regular basis.
By all appearances, LaRoque has been posting hundreds of comments (at all hours of the day and night) on the news stories that appear on the website of the Kinston Free Press under the pseudonym “goodneighbors.” Some of them are in direct response to the stories and many are in response to other commenters. There are multiple such comments in which “goodneighbors” makes clear his identity; here’s one that was posted on July 11 at 6:59 am:

Racist Tricks of Extreme Ultra-Conservative Republican Tea Party
5 May 2011
Contact: Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President, 919-394-8137
Mrs. Amina J. Turner, Executive Director, 919-682-4700
RE-SEGREGATE THE BLACK VOTE
Racist Tricks of Extreme Ultra-Conservative Republican Tea Party
Politicians Exposed
"The extreme right-wing, ultra-conservative tea party that has apparently captured the North Carolina Republican Party has gotten so cocky, it now brags in public about its plans to use tactics rooted in racism and political segregation in order to gain and control political power," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President of the NC NAACP. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), recently bragged to the Washington media:
"It's politically probable that there will be a new minority influence district. Republicans should pick up three seats under any fair and legal [redistricting] map. That is huge. No other state in the nation would gain as many Republican seats. This would be in a state that Barack Obama won in 2008 and where we have had a Democratic governor since 1992 - the longest such period in the nation. A 9-4 [Republican majority] delegation is pretty good and would attempt to avoid the risk of a bad year for Republicans. Clearly, Reps. Kissell and Miller are serving their final term."
"Let us look at the racist implications of McHenry's statement," Rev. Barber said. "When he says 'minority influence district' he means the tea party wants to draw new lines around Black areas, and lump us all into a third segregated voting District. Their aim is to remove progressive black voters out of surrounding areas, where we can create a strong voting majority with the growing number of white and brown progressives to get our anti-racism, anti-poverty agenda passed. McHenry and the extreme ultra-conservative Tea Party Republicans want to defeat our progressive agenda, and take us back to their good old days. John Tedesco wants to keep us in our 'neighborhoods.' Ron Margiotta wants to keep 'the animals' in our 'cages.' McHenry wants to resegregate our voting districts so the tea party can win 9 out of 13 of North Carolina's congressional seats and pass their regressive agenda.
"In 1898, the racist red shirts murdered scores of Black people who had created a fusion alliance with progressive white people in Wilmington and were building a world-class port city.
For the next 67 years, the red shirts, with their white friends in high places, disenfranchised one-third of Southern voters--all of us with black skins. In 1965, after many courageous anti-racism fighters--Black and White and Jewish--were murdered, beaten and jailed, the Congress passed the Voting Rights Act. This set the stage for the long struggle to insure the safety and protection of our voting rights. Five years ago, Congress found that white supremacists still use voter suppression and dilution tricks, and re-authorized the VRA for another 25 years. Now, the virtually all-white tea party ultra-conservative wing of the Republican Party is trying an end run of the VRA. The NAACP will continue to fight to guarantee the right of every voter of color to cast her ballot against the tricks of the tea party and, at the same time, build a new progressive fusion alliance that can usher in a society of human beings of all colors, a beautiful diverse society--One North Carolina."
"We're sick and tired of the tea party's politics of yesterday. Black people can count too, Mr. McHenry. We understand your racist game. This is 2011. It's our agenda of tomorrow vs. your agenda of yesterday. The new fusion of Black, Brown and White voters who want to move North Carolina forward is forming. The Tea Party wants to segregate our Congressional Districts--three Black and 10 White. We say No to Re-Segregating our Schools and our Voting Districts. Yes to One North Carolina."
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.
