Two White Guys Complain About the Uppity Illinois Negro and Tweety Defends Burris?

Just watch the video below and then tell me I’m wrong. This sentence encapsulates the gist of what Chris Matthews and his guests Steve McMahon (Democratic party strategist) and Todd Harris (Republican party strategist). God forbid Senator designate, Roland Burris, is proud of his accomplishments.

Steve McMahon accuses Illinois’ politicians of playing the “race card” and boxing in poor Harry Reid solely because Mr. Burris is an African-American.

Todd Harris further points out that Roland Burris is clearly an “uppity black man” because he’s built a “mausoleum” that states he was a “trail blazer.”

I’m so dumbfounded, I hardly know what to say. So I went to Wikipedia to find the history of this “uppity” black man who dares to assert he’s a “trail blazer.”

Oh, the audacity of hope! How dare Roland Burris feel such pride in what he has become? How dare he feel pride in being the first African American elected to state office in Illinois? How dare he be proud that he is the second African American state attorney general in the history of the United States?

See, that’s what those uppity blacks do when they accept the reins of power from those on whom the Matthews, McMahon and Harris crowd frown.


Now, I could be wrong, but wasn’t it Hardball that droned on endlessly about Bill Clinton playing the race card?

And now Hardball’s minions are accusing a black man of the same?

(I knew that, someday, it’d come in handy that I DVR Hardball. Usually, I end up erasing it. I’m glad I watched today. Those soulless party hacks and their two-faced personalities.)

    I love you to death Susan, but I think McMahon and Harris are correct. If John McCain were trying to get the Senate seat, and the pay to play scandal surrounded it, he would be gone like shit through a goose. It seems to ME (and you asked) that this IS about race (yet again and YAWN) and I’m kind of tired of it. Just like I am tired of the fact that I have to watch my country be destroyed because no one was allowed to question Fraudbama or they were a “racist.” These two people made valid points. Sorry, they did. Do you hate me? You asked and I am being honest. Hot Rod might get impeached. Why should his appointment be taken seriously? We don’t KNOW whether there was pay to play involved in this. If you can tell me that you know for certain, 100%, that there was NO pay to play involved…but I am guessing you can’t.

    Why is the Democrat leadership so upset about having the race card played against them?
    When Obama slandered the Clinton’s as racists, these same Democrat leaders were jubilant over Obama’s use of the race card and they not only participated in Obama’s slander, they perpetuated it all of the print and televised media.
    Now they are upset when it happens to them. Cry me a f’n river!

  • stodgie

    the world has turned upside down. i agree with tweety. burris has a clean appointment and that is the end of the story. this trauma and drama is so dang irritating when i for one actually expect congress to be about the people’s business. sure burris played the race card. there should be no question about it. but the man was appointed. seat him already!

    Then the Democrat leaders being called racists after they didn’t lift a finger to aid Clintons when Obama was using the race card against them.
    And now, brace yourselves, Coward Dean just got totally f’d over by Obama and he and his supporters are really pissed off about it.
    In true Obama fashion, once he is done using every last drop he can squeeze out of you, he tosses you aside like a dirty rag.
    Remember how Coward Dean blatantly screwed Hillary Clinton over at the RBC meetings? How Coward Dean sat back and swallowed his tongue while Obama was attacking her using the race card and misogynistic attacks?

    Lei-off: Obama snubs Dean
    By: Jonathan Martin
    January 8, 2009 09:23 PM EST

    The conspicuous absence of Howard Dean from Thursday’s press conference announcing Tim Kaine’s appointment as Democratic National Committee chair was no accident, according to Dean loyalists.

    Rather, they say, it was a reflection of the lack of respect accorded to the outgoing party chairman by the Obama team.

    Despite leading the party in consecutive triumphant election cycles – as well as through off-year races like when Kaine was elected Virginia governor in 2005 – Dean has become all but invisible since Election Day, passed over for the Cabinet position he coveted and apparently not in line for another administration post.

    Indeed, when President-elect Barack Obama introduced Kaine at party headquarters Thursday afternoon, Dean was 7,023 miles and seven time zones away, closer to French Polynesia than Washington, doing party grunt work in American Samoa.

    His allies aren’t happy about it.

    “If he had been asked to go to that event, he would have been there,” Jim Dean, the chairman’s brother, noted twice in an interview.

    Dean’s reward for the party recapturing the White House, House, Senate, and taking control of seven governor’s mansions and eight state legislatures on his watch?

    So far, nothing.

    A physician by training who devoted much of his time as Vermont governor to health care, Dean had his eye on becoming Secretary of Health and Human Services. But the post went to Obama ally and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. The fact that Dean wasn’t even included in Thursday’s ceremonial — and very public — transfer of power from him to Kaine only underscored his isolation.

    “The snub today was no accident,” said one Dean ally. “I guarantee you he would have rescheduled his trip if asked to attend. It’s easy to [screw] over people when you are riding high in the polls, let’s see how many people are singing his praises in six months.”

    I’m glad & happy for Senator Burris. I am certain that he will do more for Illinois in his two years than Obama ever did in his 4 years as a US Senator.

    Now I know about his history and what he has accomplished — he seems to be a worthy choice.

    Gov Blogo may be a sh*t and a bum — but he selected wisely — I wish Burris well, now will show the Senate a thing. This guy will not need training wheels — I expect that he will hit the ground running!

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    It’s not whether he selected well…it’s what the intelligent pundits said…it’s “fruit from the poison tree.” When on earth does the far left think that for once we should obey the laws in this land? God. Every time I turn around…Piss on the Constitution? No problem. Pay or play. No problem. Criminal acts. No problem. No one said Burris, black, white chinese, etc. isn’t a good guy. No one said that, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t deserve the job. But for him to get the job under FRAUDULENT circumstances only gives credibility to the fact that this entire election, administration, etc. is NOTHING BUT FRAUD. Try to separate the issues folks. Sometimes obeying the law has nothing to do with race.

  • stodgie

    though dean has irritated me very much this past year i actually think he would have made a good surgeon general rather than gupta the media hack. yup that’s right. his treatment of moore who does make valid points was disgusting.

    you know in politics you need to make friends and keep them. obama has never learned that and it will be his downfall.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    stodgie…I love you to death…but how do YOU know Burris is a “clean appointment?” Can ANYONE here prove that? Thought so. That’s why it shouldn’t happen.

  • Winston

    Dittos.

  • stodgie

    well looking strictly at the law i’d say the gov has the right to an appointment. clean? actually that is an interesting question. i bet fitz has some thought on that. there should have been a special election.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    How can anyone say that when Hot Rod is on TAPE “selling” that Senate seat? How do any of us know that he didn’t have a lovely call with Ballet Rahm, the Fraud, etc. and sell it for Burris? We’re NEVER GOING TO KNOW. That’s the problem. If people can get their head out of their azzes and look at what the two guys are SAYING (one is dem, one repub to start with) they are SAYING that no matter what, it’s possibly fraudulent and should be eradicated. Like I said..it’s not whether or not Hot Rod is still the Governor, which hopefully he won’t be for long since the panel today voted to impeach, rather it’s about the fact that anything that comes of this fraud might be tainted. No one is making this a personal attack against Burris. For the love of God, it’s not ABOUT THAT. But how long is this country going to survive with NO respect for the law?

  • truthtelling007

    OIAF, that is the price paid by the Illinois legislators for giving the power to appoint to the Governor. My concern is that regardless of how we feel about Blogojevich we have Reid overstepping his legal powers in trying to prevent this appointment.

    IN the founding of the Constitution both Alexander Hamilton and James Madison laid out the case for the right of the citizens to pick who they wanted to serve for them. Hamilton spoke on the right of the people to pick “whoever they wanted” to represented them, and Madison complimented this with looking at imposing limitations on this right by narrowing the options.

    Lets say,…the people of Alaska vote for Ted Stevens again. What then?
    If they so believe he is a great representative and are willing to ignore his actions, what right does the Senate have to ignore this? None.

    Because the Senate does not have powers that are not already in the Constitution.

    And Illinois gave the power to appoint to the governor, albeit he is under a “cloud”, the law is clear.

    When we can change our minds and ignore the law…we are in trouble in my estimation.

    What is your thought on this?

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Like I said…legally the two guys are right. They cited examples…if they conduct a search on your property that is deemed illegal..the FRUITS of that ILLEGAL SEARCH are fruit of the poison tree. I’m not sure why people can’t separate their emotional stuff from the law. Bottom line…Hot Rod is going to get impeached more than likely. But for SURE he is going to do jail time and get convicted for criminal acts. I ask again…how in HELL can his selection be deemed CLEAN? The whole POINT of his illegal acts are that he was SELLING that seat. Do YOU not know for a fact that Burris HIMSELF didn’t buy it? No, you don’t. As much as I HATE Harry Reid, he is right on this. That Senate seat will ALWAYS be clouded with disrespect and curiosity as to whether it was legal or not. Why should WE the taxpayers put up with this crap? Get rid of Hot Rod and get a new governor. THEN get the Senate seat taken care of. But that would be asking America to have dignity, respect for the law and class. None of which this country has any longer.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    PS As for “ignoring the law?” Keeping Burris is “ignoring the law.”

  • truthtelling007

    Harry Reid is right about his feelings, but by what authority is able to put action to these feelings?

    Like you said, separate emotional stuff from the law. Feeling he’s guilty, believing he’s guilty, are emotional. The law is really simple about the qualifications to be seated. This has already been adjudicated by the Supreme Court before with Adam Clayton Powell Jr.

    Unlike Burris, Powell was being accused of wrong doing and the Supreme Court said that the House had to seat him because he won his election and that he passed the three simple qualifications for office, 1. over 30 yrs old, 2. Resident of US for 9 years, and 3. Resident of Illinois.

    The laws of Illinois give the governor sole appointment power.

    If there is a lesson to learn in this, it is, if you don’t want this to happen, then you better think ahead with laws and amendments, because you can’t do that once you are already in play.

    I emotionally agree with Reid, but that doesn’t matter. I think Blogo is crooked, but that doesn’t matter until he’s found guilty. Either we are going to support the laws or we are picking when to follow them and when not to.

    There is no such law in either Illinois or the Federal level dealing with accusations and suspicion. If we want them, fine write them. Until then, it just doesn’t exist.

    And Steve McMahon here ignorantly stated that Burris lacked the Sec of State signature to which Matthews corrected him and he then just glossed over and moved on. Why? because he apparently bought into the idea that there was a requirement for signature from the Sec. to approve Blogo’s appointment.

    If this were the legal standard, this would in effect give the Sec veto power over the governor. Do you know any Secretary of State who has veto power over the executive?

  • truthtelling007

    “it’s “fruit from the poison tree.””

    Not sure when you got your law degree, but you are now going to use a term that in law is most commonly referring to the gathering of evidence. Do you have case law that would expand this to appointments under the “cloud” of scandal? doubtful.

    “No one said that, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t deserve the job.”

    Under normal circumstances?
    Adam Clayon Powell Jr. was under investigation and denied his seat in the 90th Congress and yet the Supreme Court ruled in June 1969 that the House Speaker and Congress didn’t have the authority to block his seating.

    And you speak in non-sequetor too much to follow. I ask you about what law you refer to, and you resort to swathing comments about the “far left” as if they have anything to do with this.

    You accuse the “far left” of pissing on the constitution, as if this is exclusive to the left, when we still have a president and vice president who not only pissed on the constitution, but trampled it, and damn near burned it up.

    You claim he gets the job under FRAUDULENT circumstances, can you prove this? Do you even feel the need to do so?

  • oowawa

    I agree with you NW Rain, and I agree with Susan’s take on this situation. I think Blago, out of self-interest, made a squeaky-clean appointment that is as far-removed from any pay-to-play charges as he could possibly get. You can bet Burris passes the smell-test with no problem.

    The jerkiest thing in the whole vid was the business about the mausoleum. Good Lord, the man is 71 years old, and he’s taking care of business. I have purchased my square foot of lawn and a plaque (“Oowawa–Amateur Weisenheimer”). For Harris to bring this up as an issue is extremely repulsive. The “race” factor should not enter into this. Burris is qualified.

    And as for Matthews: I doubt there is anyone here who detests Tweety as much as I do, and yet I had to agree with him on this one, and it wasn’t easy. As for Matthew’s proposed Senate run, my feelings haven’t changed: “Defeat the Tweet!”

  • bert

    Burris did not play the race card. Blagojevich did. And with balls and brilliance. From everything I have read, here at NQ and from other sources, Blagojevich had every right to appoint and the IL SOS had no choice but to sign the certification.

    Obama and the US Senate had no choice but to accept, unless they wanted to look more foolish than their stupid games already made them look. The fact that the nominee was black is incidental. And it would not have mattered at all had Obama not so effectively and brazenly used the race card in his own campaigns. Obama’s empty-suitness was never more on display than during this entire shameful show!

    I could not watch all of this video. I had to turn it of at around the half-way mark. The balls of those three asses pontificating about the race card and the grave marker for Burris was just too much when none of them ever said anything at all about Obama doing the exact same thing during the primary and general election season. In fact, they heralded Obama for the exact same type of behavior. As for the MSM – Can anyone say BALLS? Can anyone say HYPOCRASY? Can anyone say OUTRAGEOUS?

  • oowawa

    Yes Bert, the hypocritical fools did not even have an inkling that their words on Burris receiving special privileges because of his race would have been more accurately applied towards The One. It reminded me of the hypocritical blindness of O supporters who wouldn’t stop harping about Sarah Palin’s supposed lack of experience.

  • BARB

    Fruit from the poison tree????

    What about Obama’s relationship with Governor Blagojevich, whose campaign he helped run in 2002? How is it that from the “cesspool” of IL politics…Obama rises unscathed????

    “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public”

    Am looking forward to Blago telling all….let’s hope he doesn’t have an unfortunate accident. Obama and buddies have told one lie after another about Obama’s recent contacts with Blago. The MSM still makes one excuse after another for the lies of Obama team. Really pathetic.

  • BernieO

    Do we then look at all of Blago’s appointments?

    I do think the race card was played, and clearly Obama did a 180, but is getting a pass. Surprise. But I still think Burris should be seated. I worry that the constitutional argument the Dems were making – that the process was tainted, not that Blago didn’t have the right or Burris had done anything wrong – could some back to haunt them. Having seen Republicans repeatedly use the law to destroy Democrats (US attorneys bringing trumped up charges just before an election, using the courts to destroy the career of an up-and-coming Democrat like Siegelman)I am convinced they would find a way to use it against incumbent Democratic senators if they ever regain the majority. Which they will if Obama’s economic rescue plan fails. Krugman strongly criticised it in today’s Times for being too weak. I am afraid he is right and if so, Obama and the Dems will be in big trouble in four years.

  • ford

    This is a great post. Thank you.

    Matthews is a slow learner. I want the tapes that Fitz has released. The conversations with Blago that eveyone had…especially Rahm’s tape and Reid’s tape..
    I think the notion that Blago was the root cause of the corruption in IL is going to result in Larry Craig looking like chump change compared to this scandal. This has long legs.
    Reid will lose his appointment. He has been made the goat.

  • ACPD

    I’d like to see Reid apply the same standards to BO and his election process. Talk about “tainted….” No one in the Dem leadership is going to question BO and how he rose to power. Now they are all up in arms about IL’s governor. They are just self-serving hypocrites and crooks.

    It breaks my heart to see how low the Democratic Party has sunk. It also bothers me no end to think that these guys are in control of our government. I remember Martin Luther King’s hope that he looked forward to the day when people could be measured by the strength of their character and not the color of their skin. We’re still waiting for that day….The sad thing is that few people even know what “strength of character means” because the color green has tainted everything our governmental leaders do.

  • Gary McGowan

    I’m confused. To which law are you referring?

    Is there a law that our nation should be run by media cartels?… by who yells the most and the loudest?… by how we feel?

    I agree the appointment is “tainted.” But I am not aware of a law in place that justifies Burris not being seated. Please tell me if you know of one.

    Also, I must mention that I see widespread efforts being made to — quite literally — make this nation ungovernable. This at a time when we really, really, REALLY need leadership that will put into effect the great principles embodied in our Constitution.

    A great many countries are being made ungovernable, not just the U.S.A. Has everyone forgotten — or failed to understand — that the world’s present economic financial system is kaput and in desperate need of reorganization? Who benefits from all this increasing chaos? Surely not the useless eaters.

    I agree the appointment is “tainted.” But I am not aware of a law in place that justifies Burris not being seated. Please tell me if you know of one.

    Bingo, Gary.

    Krazy Kimbo is not on the side of the law when she supports blocking Burris from taking his seat. The Constitution’s 17th amendment says legislatures can give governors the authority to make temporary appointments to fill senate vacancies. The Illinois legislature did, and Blagojevich did, and Reid & Co. thumbed their noses at the law.

    At least the senators finally bowed to the law. Kim’s not there yet. Don’t hold your breath.

    Now, that’s not to say that anyone should have accepted the appointment. Only somebody completely self-absorbed, with no regard for the voters of Illinois or the integrity of the Senate, would have done so. In Burris, Blagojevich found someone with a big enough ego to be his patsy. Burris might as well chisel this epitaph on his monument to himself: “His vanity was stronger than his virtue.” That’s how history will remember him.

    (That’s the whole thing, ending with letter “i”.) seems like a good person to me. I’m unable to find any posts by her at this site.

    As to how the useless eaters may be distinguished from the useful ones…


    Useless eaters
    don’t have last names like Kissinger, Rockefeller, etc. They consume the “limited resources” the greedy seem to so desperately covet. Africans, Palestinians, Jews and gypsies in Hitler’s Germany… people like that.

    The self-styled “useful” ones come up with erudite stuff like this:

    In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.

    or perhaps more to the point:

    In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play.

    All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called `co-operative,’ i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.

    Except for the one matter of loyalty to the world State and to their own order, members of the governing class will be encouraged to be adventurous and full of initiative. It will be recognized that it is their business to improve scientific technique, and to keep the manual workers contented by means of continual new amusements.

    On those rare occasions when a boy or girl who has passed the age at which it is usual to determine social status shows such marked ability as to seem the intellectual equal of the rulers, a difficult situation will arise, requiring serious consideration.

    If the youth is content to abandon his previous associates and to throw in his lot whole-heartedly with the rulers, he may, after suitable tests, be promoted, but if he shows any regrettable solidarity with his previous associates, the rulers will reluctantly conclude that there is nothing to be done with him except to send him to the lethal chamber before his ill-disciplined intelligence has had time to spread revolt. This will be a painful duty to the rulers, but I think they will not shrink from performing it.

    Yeah, since openly breaking the law and then yapping about breaking it on national TV, where even a 6th grader understands the criminality, might just be trouble sometime.

Oh you can still go to work and all, heck, but whenever you start doing your job concerning something we want to control, we’ll just take it over from some snark filled room somewhere downstate or from DC.

    You were saying…”the law”

    Burris appointment valid, Illinois high court says

    Illinois’ highest court Friday validated the appointment of Roland Burris to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat, ruling that the Illinois secretary of state does not have to sign off on it.

    The court’s opinion states that “no further action is required by the Secretary of State or any other official to make the Governor’s appointment of Roland Burris to the United States Senate valid under Illinois law.”

    So now we see Dick Durbin running his mouth despite the fact he doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on.

    Where is he going to find a code that validates his “must require a signature of the Secretary of State” when the Illinois law doesn’t say so, the Illinois Court just ruled it isn’t required and the appointment is valid, and the Supreme Court has made clear that there is no such qualification unless it is in Article 1 or in an Amendment?

    Illinois court stated that “no explanation has been given as to how any rule of the Senate, whether it be formal or merely a matter of tradition, could supersede the authority to fill vacancies conferred on the states by the federal constitution.”

    So now that Harry Reid has his ruling from the court, what will he pull out of his ass this time?

    I read a little closer, and I see I mistook Kim’s bio for yours.

    Kim Frederick indeed is not Obama Is A Fraud.

  • truthtelling007

    Of course not, Kim is a Reasonable non Zealot. I’ve met Kim before. She did a great job in standing up to the caucus fraud. Kim is much more reasonable than you.

    And yes, unless you can prove it is Kim Frederick, then you have just insulted Kim. I demand an apology to Kim, POST HASTE!

    OIAF isn’t interested in the law, or she’d have already accepted that Burris is the legal appointment, like it or not. Instead…we are going to engage in the “guilt by association” sort of non-Law thinking Harry Reid and Dick Durbin are engaged in.

    It is very clear if you just read the laws. Harry Reid is fogging us.

    Glad to do that.

    My apologies to Kim Frederick for confusing her with Obama Is A Fraud.

    I made a mistake about which of the several bios is OIAF’s. I missed it at the time, but after checking tonight, I see OIAF had previously identified herself by her real name (which is not Kim Frederick).

    To make it clear, OIAF is the one who said she’s making a documentary about NQ trolls — not Kim.

    I have no beef with Kim.

    My opinion of OIAF hasn’t changed, and I’d still love to see her NQ troll video.

    of course not, Kim has class.

  • truthtelling007

    and I was just giving you a funny hard time of course. yuck yuck.

    I had the privilege of meeting Kim. She’s awesome.

    All the best to you riverplate.
