SNL: Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton

Imho, these were the best lines:

Palin: “Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now-very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign.”
Clinton: “An issue which I am frankly surprised to hear people suddenly care about.”

Palin saw the clip on her flight from Reno to Denver.

Below, the rest of Mark Halperin’s report — with some more great news tidbits — via Time magazine’s blog, The Page:

“Saturday Night Live’s” Tina Fey makes her debut as Sarah Palin on the season premiere.

Teams with Sen. Clinton (aka Amy Poehler) to open the show. Click above.

  • Dtaylor

    Iam all for fun, but where are the biden and obama characters…

  • Kal

    Funny, when it’s all men, no one asks ‘where are the women?’ out of concern for genuine gender equality.

    I greatly appreciate that this SNL season opened with the two leading comic women portraying the two most important US women leaders acting across party lines.

    There are some very deep truths in this skit.

  • http://www.latinorepublican.com DD

    Exactly, where are the biden and obama characters?

    Uh oh. Is Obama gonna jealous that Palin is taking the spotlight?

    ;)

  • HARP

    They should do a skit with Obama exalting his 50 state strategy.

  • ford

    I was watching Stephanopoulos this am…The D’s STILL don’t get it…at their own peril.

    i read a hilarious article on how Biden’s plane has about 3 reporters riding on it because everyone wants to ride with Palin…

    ah haha ah ahahhaha

    also, remember how it was announced a few days ago that Obama was going to be on this SNL show?

    well it looks like he got dumped for Palin/Clinton…

    ahh ahah aha hahhahahahhaha

    Making fun of Palin and Hillary both at the same time, casting one as baby-birthin gun-totin idiot and the other as an angry disgruntled power hungry man-without-a-penis probably doesn’t do much to help the left with their obvious woman voter problem….but i could be wrong.

  • ford

    My point Exactly Jeremiah!

    The attack on the women (it was funny) should have been followed by a skit of Biden and BO having a heart to heart talk ala Oprah..that would have balanced it even more…and let’s face it there is something funny about BO and Biden..

    SNL has target rich environment and they should do MORE.

  • Jacques

    “where are the biden and obama characters?”

    Absent, like in any major media explanation why Obama and Biden are dropping.

    5 reasons why McCain has pulled ahead

    Another example of the hallucinatory media not able to attribute any blame to their Holy One and Biden. No european trip, no flip flops, no arrogant attitude, no description of the faults and foibles of the Holy One that coincides with his fall in the polls. Once in a while they pull out the race canard, but never, never will they fault their golden child.

    I watched C. Matthews this morning. [sorry] The way he sneered and quickly glossed over the “lipstick on a pig”/ old fish matter told me he really knew it was directed at Palin and McCain, but was going to cover it up.

  • ford

    They could have portrayed John McCain as Palin’s “white top”pimp too, in a funny way.

    Palin: “Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now-very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign.”

    When I heard Barry was going to be on the show and they were trying to get Tina Fey to play Palin I must admit I saw some potential for Barry to throw slime.

    Barry is a pansy ass that would have used the comedy forum to slime Sarah and just get away with saying,”It was just comedy”

  • jnm594

    In more ways than one……………..

  • WestPalm2008

    I thought the opening skit was cute, and not all that disrespectful.

    Where it got disrespectful was during the “Weekend Update” portion. There was a clip about some “untested” “unqualified” quarterback (which earned him the nickname, Sarah Palin), and some weird not very funny clip about her “inappropriate billing” to “stay at home”… which was “mavricky” or something? I didn’t quite get it. It was just too much Palin Palin Palin. One joke would have been enough.

    Obviously, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are dems. They were Hillary supporters, and are credited with coining, “bitch is the new black” and asking people to “get on board” (with Hillary).

    Obama is SUCH a godl mine of comedy, however…. that the absence of hard-hitting jokes about him this last episode just means we’re in for a looooong month and a half until the election, as the media desperately tries to play fourth line of defense for Obama.

  • Perry Logan

    Isn’t it interesting that year after year of the grossest misogyny against a Democrat (Hillary) was perfectly OK…but the same treatment of a Republican is, all of a sudden bad? ;-)

    SNL could have had the” MSM “cast holding BO’s coat and carrying his cooler.

    The” campaign” cast , could have been urging the MSM people to drink the wonderful”koolaid” that BO was serving…it could have been funny.

  • http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=i2a7maeftqt9 Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright

    You are right Perry, if the republicans do it its called Mysogyny.

    If the Democrats do it its called Equal Opportunity.

  • doc99

    Another Palin myth Busted.

    List of all books Palin had banned. Grand total = 0

  • WestPalm2008

    Well, let’s remember, that the Republicans have learned from what happened to Hillary.

    The Democrats let it happen on their watch, because they wanted “the one” and didn’t care about the means…. the ends justified it.

    I guess that hurts Obama’s argument.

  • mimi

    Speaking of Stephanopoulos today, did anyone notice that only the Democratic point of view was on the roundtable. Where was George Will’s backup. I found it interesting that Will didn’t argue with them, either. He let them dig their own grave.

    There’s also the sad fact that Democrats don’t display very much moxie in defending their fellow Democrats. Republicans, with their overdeveloped herd instinct, are of course extremely good at defending their people, no matter how reprehensible these people may be.

  • Above My Pay Grade

    No. I heard he cancelled because of the Hurricane (IKE). His campaign said he sisn’t want to be off making fun when a serious disaster had hit America.

    My thinking is that the campaign said, Don’t you dare go on there! You keep acting like a dumbass. Lipstick on a Pig, sheesh! We are not going to let you out as much as we did because people don’t like you and they do not think you are funny!

  • http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=i2a7maeftqt9 Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright

    Actually FEMA Called the Obama campaign Head Quarters and asked Obama to be available to turn back the waters as part of their Hurricane Preparedness Mobilization which is why he would not be available to film a comedy skit.

    I have never been more angry at what the media is doing to McCain/Palin.

    I have never been more angry about what the media already did to Hillary Clinton.

    I have started praying for McCain to win.

    Something has to be done about the media, I have never in my 40+ years living here in the States ever seen anything like what has happened in this campaign.

  • http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=i2a7maeftqt9 Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright

    Its not a studio like a company…i dont think. she is a photographer. its her “studio”

    I doubt she gives a crap.

    If you want to boycott her, write to atlantic mag and tell them.

    She does have a list of clients on her webiste though.

    However, i don’t think hurting her livelyhood is fair just because we dont like the fact that she did something many americans find classless and disgusting.

    Frankly, as an american you have the right to burn the flag and i have the right to call you a stupid mother f*cker for doing it…thats the beauty of free speech and the first ammendmant.

    Lets not behave like Obama-freaks and try and silence everybody.

    Now that does not mean we can’t draw plaenty of attention to her lunacy and lack of professionalism.

    She used her position to enable her the opportunity. I think turnabout is fair play. After all, I won’t be watching any more Pam Anderson films (chuckle) and won’t see North Country.

  • PKJAYNE

    SWIFTBOAT PHOTOGRAPHY

    I have always been a fan of Ms. Greenberg’s ability to create a unique vision and lighting style. But this incident revealed her as someone who is both dishonest and without even a shred of professional responsibility.

    Just because you are capable of doing something does not make it right to do so. The placement of the “fake” light coming in from up high shows her intent was dishonest — she was trying to deceive everyone else involved with the shoot.

    I have been a lighting photographer for over 20 years. I teach lighting at Strobist.com. And I would not have noticed that an overhead beauty dish (complete with shining modeling light) was not firing in the midst of a few thousand watt-seconds going off.

    Ms. Greenberg probably loathes this kind of duplicitous behavior when it is displayed by politicians. How is she any better than the worst of them?

    Worse, the constructed images she is since publishing on her website, “Manipulator,” are clearly display malice and might expose her to libel in spite of McCain’s status as a public person.

    Ironically, if this gets picked up by the (non-photo) mainstream media, it will be incorrectly held up as an example that all journalists are hatchet people, out to get a favored candidate elected.

    Which, of course, would serve to galvanize McCain’s supporters and get them to the polls in November. My guess is that Ms. Greenberg did not think this far ahead while rubbing her hands in glee. This may be the most stupid, dishonest thing I have ever seen a photographer do.

    From here on, next time you shoot a politician be ready to produce your voter registration card to show your are “the right kind of person” and have every image reviewed by his or her handlers before you can leave with your photos.

    Ms. Greenberg has just managed to smear an entire industry in fifteen minutes. Thanks a lot, Jill.

    (for some reason my links won’t post here)

  • http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=i2a7maeftqt9 Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright

    Snippet from the above linked article!!!

    Greenberg, known for her heavily retouched pics of apes and babies, boasted to Photo District News that she submitted photos of the Arizona senator to the mag while barely airbrushing them.

    “I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad,” she boasted.

    Greenberg also crowed that she had tricked McCain into standing over a strobe light placed on the floor – turning the septuagenarian’s face into a horror show of shadows.

    Asking McCain to “please come over here” for a final shot, Greenberg pretended to be using a standard modeling light.

    The resulting photos depict McCain as devilish, with bulging brows and washed-out skin.

    “He had no idea he was being lit from below,” Greenberg said, adding that none of his entourage picked up on the light switch either. “I guess they’re not very sophisticated,” she said.

    The Atlantic opted not to use the distorted McCain shot on its cover, selecting instead a more straightforward portrait.

    “We stand by the picture we are running on our cover,” said Atlantic editor James Bennet. “We feel it’s a respectful portrait. We hope we’ll be judged by that picture.”

    But Bennet was appalled by Greenberg saying she tried to portray McCain in an unflattering way.

    “We feel totally blind-sided,” he said. “Her behavior is outrageous. Incredibly unprofessional.”

    Greenberg later decided to use some of the images she was assigned to take to make a political statement.

    Her Web site now features a series of Photoshopped pics of McCain in some highly unflattering poses – including one that has a monkey squirting dung onto the Republican candidate’s head.

    Another one reads “I am a bloodthirsty warmongerer,” with McCain retouched to have needle-sharp shark teeth and a vicious grin, while licking blood-smeared lips.

    Greenberg was unapologetic about the assignment.

    I wonder how outraged she would be if the far right protrayed her Omessiah holding a cleaver in one hand and a late term fetus in the other.

    Now you must pay
    I’m glad that you’re sorry now.

    How about a sketch showing Biden giving a speech with Obama, et all looking on, while he is drunk on the campaign,(there are several pieces of tape showing him drunk, one on what appears to be a camping or outdoor trip with some young girls (his daughters?) in the background). Methinks there may be a problem with “been in the Congress since 1973, but I’m no DC insider” Biden.

  • Steve_in_KC

    Dayum. And I always thought Republicans were evil. I mean, I still think they are evil, but the radical Left, loony Left, and wacko Left, and the sicko Left are really putting me off! I’ve always been an Independent voter, but somehow never voted for Republicans. I think that’s changing now, at 57 years of age.

    My wife isn’t politically inclined, like me, but she’s very proud of my judgment in supporting Hillary and Sarah, not being a party-line voter, and judging them on their character and intelligence. Of course, I don’t tell her that I find them both very attractive women that I “wouldn’t kick out of bed.” :)

    Seriously though, I support these women as much as I might support a good-looking male candidate over an ugly male candidate. Appearance and attractiveness are an important part of popularity. Would Obama be nearly as effective if he had the looks of Leon Spinks? Or might we respect him more if he had the looks of Colin Powell or James Earl Jones?

    So, back to topic, featuring John McCain in ghoulish lighting is the same exact kind of crap they did to Hillary, running contests online to find pictures showing her goofiest expressions and worst moments. It’s demonizing, mocking, and distorting their images to portray them “in a bad light” so to speak.

    Remember what TIME magazine did to OJ Simpson:
    http://www.fromthepen.com/condi_usatoday_scandal.html

    Darkened his photo to make him blacker and more menacing.

    That’s what was done to McCain in this case.

  • DAB

    I thought that the skit was funny but I also have so much empathy with how Hillary must be feeling right about now. Cuomo and a few others tried to warn the Dems to get O and H on the same ticket but they knew better.

    I feel that Hillary will come out of this better than the rest of the Dems. I’m pulling for her to take over the Senate because Harry Reid and John McCain don’t get along. Hillary would probably work well with Big Mac.

    I have some liberal minded female friends and they are harping on Palin big time. I asked them why is it that liberal women can careers, be vocal about their body choices and have strong feelings about issues but Republican women can not. They tell me it’s because the right is not as educated as the left. I am an ex-Dem and I’m so disgusted with the snobbery and we-are-smarter-than-them mentality. It’s no wonder the Dems can’t win the blue collar votes in full. They treat these voters like they need talking down to.

    I think i know where all obamas campaign money is going, I think he bought NBC!
    I found a couple sites where it says NBC has removed this content and edited it and allowed us to show it again. Those videos are 9 minutes long and have the pillow question removed.
    See I can understand NBC wanting copyrighted material off other sites, but to take it off and reup an edited version. Just WAY too fishy for me.

    Full disclosure… Perhaps my ire is related to this incident that occurred when I was in law school. I was one of only 2 first-year students interviewed for a prestigious internship. The other candidate was a man. The interviewer, male, asked whether I had any children. Hesitant to point out this area of inquiry was illegal, I answered, yes, one child. How old? Two years. Where is he now? In daycare. When does he get home? By this point, I realized, I would never be offered the position. My competition was.

My goodness you think Cheney stays in a “undisclosed” location all the time… LOL Palin will not be seen again….I think it s crazy how the McCamp is using that woman- and PLEASE write some new stump speeches for her- Palin repeating the same fairytales over and over again has become embarrassing

    I do agree Palin needs a new stump speech. The Mccain camp should be more on the ball on this one. She should be talking about enrgy and the economy only right about now.

    Much like Obama!!!

    Here’s a photo I took of John McCain with a group of Hillary supporters at his HQ in June. At the back, you can see the very tall Will Bower. The face just to the right of McCain’s is Paulie Abeles who set up the meeting and made it possible for me and my wife to attend. Lynette Long was also there but I don’t know if she’s pictured. I took the photo with my iPhone so the only light was the overhead fluorescents.

    “i don’t think hurting her livelyhood is fair just because we dont like the fact that she did something many americans find classless and disgusting.”

    She is using “her livelihood” in a mean spirited way, why not exact some comeuppance–would you rather she be ignored or rewarded?

    give them more credit.

    they are using the stump speech because it works.

    when i saw hillary in my town, she gave the same stump speech i had heard already in the media, but the crowd went wild for it anyway.

  • `

    That seems to be the new strategy here. There have been dozens of articles, essays and statements from “feminist” roups lately. “We love ballsy women,” and Sarah Palin is an admirable role model, but just wrong for the country. So what kind of role model would she be, if she never got to the White House?

    Shirley Chisolm was an admirable role model. How many people besides stamp collectors can tell you who she is? Everyone remembers the anti-war eloquent speech-giver underqualified liberal who the party nominated instead – McGovern went down in history as the biggest election defeat of all time.

    They had a problem with Hillary, because she was no longer new. She was part of the problem, divisive, polarizing. Her husband got her where she is.

    Then Sarah Palin is polarizing, divisive, like Hillary, too ambitious. Since she is too new, then she hasn’t done anything. Even though she’s as qualified if not more so than most of the candidates on either party’s short list for VP’s.

    It has to stop. I’m glad Palin keeps bringing up the glass ceiling and driving home the historic nature of her own candidacy. Because the Dems and their friends in the media think a woman in the White House is no big deal. They have always been there as wives and mistresses; a woman’s proper place is cheering on the men. I like Sarah Barracuda for that reason. She won’t just sit down and shut up.

  • Julia

    It has nothing to do with victim mentality. Democrats didn’t defend Hillary because of their sexism. That’s all.

    That and the really bad movie about beauty pageants, which have been a theme this year from the Florida primaries to tthe Republican VP. But your suggestion is genius. LOL. Consider it done.

    The difference is the democrats wanted Obama – not Hillary – Anything to smear Hillary was fine w/ them as long as their chosen “One” won. This is the GE and the repubs are going to defend Palin no matter what; although I think they would’ve done it at a primary level. The dems on the other would not have defended Hillary no matter what.The MSM and the dems hate the Clintons.

    She sounds deranged. I wondered how the Atlantic kept Andrew “Milky Glutes” Sullivan on staff. It seems he has company and maybe this magazine has gone down the crapper. But I would forward that swiftboat link of yours to her sponsors with an email asking if they share an opinion with the Atlantic that this is acceptable or professional.

  • McCain is 4 Years of the Same

    I’m a democrat who will vote for Barack Obama come November. I’ve always supported the Clintons. I would vote for Hillary in any future presidential bid. The unfortunate thing is that if McCain and Palin win I’ll probably never get that opportunity. Palin has set a new standard for not-particularly-thoughtful voters. Her immediate popularity–when she stands for almost everything that Hillary Clinton does ot–signals that from this point forward they’ll put image ahead of issues.

    Republican stragegists will no longer worry about issues when they select their candidates. They’ll hold casting calls, looking for someone who can best play the part.

    Fey said: “Bitch is the new black, cuzz bitches get things done”

    “I’m voting for McCain/Palin. That team works for me.

    Howard Dean came to suburban Seattle (Renton, WA) last night (I didn’t go or care – and if I had I would have picketed his visit). That was not the case in 2003-2004 when I supported Dean.

    What was great about this is about 100 people showed up yesterday for him. In August/2003 he had 25,000 people show up for him in Westlake park in downtown Seattle.

    The local news media played it up like this – Dean had to come to Seattle to tell the Democratic faithful that everything is fine. He basically said, “No worries folks, nothing to see here… move along. Keep sending your money to the DNC and Obama – We are not losing – we have to win.” The story was followed with the latest statewide poll numbers showing suport for Obama/Biden dropping from 56% to 49% while McCain/Palin support went up from 39% to 45% from June through September 8th. Our Democratic Governor (Christine Gregoire) also looks like she may lose this fall. She was a very last minute supporter of Obama.

    All is not well in Washington state for the Democrats who did not support Hillary.

    I think Odumba canceled because he thought he was going to have a debate with Sarah Palin on SNL.

  • John House

    Wrong, Michelle Obama is also pretty racist too.

  • Hank

    Speaking of Michelle being racist, was out campaigning for Odumba the 9th, 10, but could not stop in NY to show respect for the victims of 9/11. It proves that she has really never been proud of being an AMERICAN.

  • John House

    I have to disagree, for once. SNL’s political satire has always been both poignant and unfair to whoever it is they’re portraying.

    But you’ll notice that by having Poehler’s Clinton say “And I, as a fervent supporter of Barack Obama…as evidenced by this button!”, SNL was making a wry comment about just how “fervent” Clinton’s support of Obambi really is (underneath the veneer or campaigning for him..did you not see how ragged and terrible she looked when she said “NO McCAIN, NO PALIN”? She was NOT sincere…).

    The fact that they addressed sexism was awesome, sad and true. Poehler’s Clinton: “An issue that frankly I’m surprised people suddenly care about…” points to the fact that DUMBoshits left Hillary flailing in the wind when she was attacked, but the Republicans are doing an awesome job defending Palin on.

    This skit rocked in more ways than one.

  • John House

    Yes, but Fey is the one who said on her other show that she was 80%(?) likely to tell her friends she was voting for barack Obama but then go vote for McCain in the voting booth, LOL.

    Well as a GOOD MOTHER would do she stayed in Chicago and made sure her children got to and from school that day- like MILLIONS of other mothers/fathers that day. From watching Mrs Palin parade her children around lately I understand you not remembering that the new school year has begun all over the country

  • tek

    So, why isn’t the video up?

  • tek

    You need to qualify your statement. It isn’t THE DEMS who hate the Clintons, it’s the Obama Dems–a lot people who voted with the Republicans to impeach Bill Clinton. Naturally, they don’t want a Clinton back in the WH.

  • The Daily Kos Hate Site

    Sorry, not buying it. The only predjudice is
    that against Blacks. This whole woman hating thing is just a ruse made up by bad sports (i.e Hillary’s dead end supporters).

    NO, MEchelle lied about being in Chicago to get her girls to school (as if they don’t have a nanny), she was campaigning in Ohio.

  • Hank

    So why couldn’t the sitter take her daughters to school one more day, and attend the event just like the other days. So unpatriotic of her, and looking at Oduma tossing the rose like a candy wrapper. Doesn’t he know that it’s like placing a wreath, when was the last time a leader did that? Well it happened on 9/11/08 by a wanna be…

  • tek

    Funny, but Obama seems desperate to have those dead-end Clintons campaign for him. Finally realized he doesn’t know WTH he’s doing in politics.

  • Thomas

    I’m sorry. Michelle home with the kids is a lie!!!! She was out fund raising for her husband. Look into it and you will find the facts.

  • ladynite54

    iiiiiiiiiii, I can not take it any more, If some one is here from the McCain camp can you please pass this message on, Sarah need to stop wearing such dark dreary colors.

    She need more color in her wardrobe, she is a brunette, with olive features, she need more bold color, if she does this she will rock the house.

    She has the look, but she need to make the whole package come together.

    Go get them SARAHCUDA.

    Once Hillary Clinton changed her color scheme she attracted more supporters. She shined more and that made people take notice of her.

    Just Saying!

    WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!

    greenberg used her employment to futher her OWN agenda. Either Atlantic hired her to portray mccain in false lights or they are complicit in her work. Either way, as a lifelong democrat, it is the straw that broke the camel’s back. I will vote mccain/palin now. I assume that I am not alone. The MSM and oBambi have insulted my intelligence, my small town, and my small vote for the last time.
    Oh and Michelle Obama was in Fisher Indiana and Cincinatti Ohio CAMPAIGNING on 9/11. She was not at “home with the children”. Dont you oBambibots ever read???? Let alone RESEARCH?

  • snosandy

    I believe 52% of voters are female. My mother in her late 70′s (and probably many other older females – the largest voting block) thinks this may be her last opportunity to vote for a female on the ticket, so she’s voting for McCain/Palin. They would have preferred to vote for Hillary, but when they see 95% of AA’s voted for Barack Obama, they got the message that they could vote for someone just like them, too.

  • Perry Logan

    And they should stop calling us racists. At best, we’re only about 10% racist.

  • mcpalin hill

    DD — Obama was supposed to be on Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey doing a skit — but top Dems talked him out of it. They want his attacks on Palin to stop.

  • mcpalin hill

    gerard — Obama’s advisors talked him out of doing the show — they want him to stop attacking Palin.

  • mcpalin hill

    DAB — Hillary as Senate Majority/Minority Leader. She could work with McCain to get bills to the floor and passed.

  • mcpalin hill

    John House — I agree with you I found the Hillary character poignant because of the way she had been buffeted around by the Democrats. While the Palin character had the confidence of one whose party was behind her.

    Hillary told Obama that she would campaign for him but that it would not change the minds of her supporters. Too late for that.

  • mcpalin hill

    J J — that is so true. The gag response — you got that right. The law of diminishing returns — or you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. 51% of Americans are sick of looking at Obama. No amount of positive media coverage can paper over that.

    MY POSTED COMMENTS ON ‘LIBERAL’ BLOGS ARE BEING ‘SCRUBBED’ DUE TO THEIR “INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE’.

    ALL I’M DOING IS QUOTING JAY-Z AND LUDACRIS SONGS.

  • http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 Beowulf

    Yeah, I think about 5-10% racists is a good estimate.

    Yet having said that, Obama and his wife are blatant racist. And w.r.t. this election cycle, African Americans are actually more racist than whites. 90+% voting for Obama over Hillary pretty much says it all, compared to 60:40 white Democratic voters for Hillary. (Hillary also had a huge advantage in the hispanic vote, Asian vote, and probably the Native American vote too.)

    As a diehard liberal myself, I’m telling you that we can apply that good old fashion liberal definition of “racism” to Obama, Michelle and the Af. American O-bots and end up concluding beyond a shadow of a doubt they are practicing racism.

    Racism as it is normally defined essentially says that any double standard w.r.t. race is racism.

    According to liberals:

    Racism = Race + Power

    This power definition naturally distinguishes between racism and reverse racism.

    Generally speaking, practically speaking, this definition is the correct definition to work by: If a white guy discriminates against a black guy, it could be in the form of racial profiling or grotesquely unequal hiring practices, and so on. But if a black guy is being “reverse” racist in a rap song or whatever, then he doesn’t in anyway hurt the white guy in any tangible way, since he has no power.

    Of course power can come in many ways: Political, economic, military and so on. But physical violence is most certainly a form of power too. DUH! Indeed, the worst kind of racism involves physical power, be it in the form of a gun, a knife or a fist. Everyone but degenerate racists readily agrees that Amadou Diallo (shot 41 times by white cops) and James Byrd (Texas dragging death), et al were all victims of white racism–to say the least. Likewise, if a minority or a group of minorities physically attack a member of the majority and hurl racist epithets as they’re doing it, that too is “racist” by the power definition of racism.

    But I digress…

    Back to the point: When African Americans have the political clout to get Don Imus fired, Fuzzy Zeller fired, and so on, they clearly have considerable political power. (For the record, such racist assholes should be fired.)

    When African Americans can paint Bill Clinton, who has one of the best civil rights records, BLACK or WHITE, of ALL TIME, who was called by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison as “the first black president… blacker than any black person…“, then they obviously have tremendous political power. And for them to also nitpick every little (innocent and factually correct) comment by Hillary, Geraldine Ferraro, Ed Rendell, etc., and ignore “typical white person”, ignore “They’re bitter…antipathy towards others who are not like them… antipathy towards immigrants…”, defend Jeremiah Wright, etc., Etc., ETC.

    This is blatant racism whether you use the normal definition of racism or the liberal definition of racism.

    —————

    Other evidence of blatant racism on the part of African Americans include Oprah never allowing Hillary to come on her show, or not allowing Sarah Palin to come on her show.

    The few examples I cited are but the tip of the iceberg. There’s mountain more.

    But mind you, I’m talking strictly about this election season only. I’m not stupid enough to think that blacks are actually more racist than whites–in general.

  • http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 Beowulf

    Perry,

    One more thing… Racist or not, no one likes to be called a “racist”, i.e. I’m talking about Obama’s defense of Jeremiah Wright, “typical white person”, “For the first time in my life”, “bitter”, etc., and the Bradley-Wilder effect.

    More importantly, the President of the United States is the president of all the people. He cannot use divisive language, accidentally or not, much less incessantly play divisive games, i.e. race-baiting.

    Obama’s is without question the most divisive politician to wear the Democratic moniker, ever. That asshole is far more GOP in strategy and tactics than Democratic if you ask me.

  • Tristan

    Exactly. Remember all those far left Democrats who voted for Nader instead of Gore? My uncle was one. He had all these elaborate justifications that Gore and Bush were the same. He hated Clinton for moving the Democratic party too far to the right, in his perception, by doing things like reforming welfare and intervening in Bosnia. Thanks to people like him we ended up with 8 years of Bush and now Obama. Yep, he’s a big time Obama supporter.

    Really because Michelle paraded her children on Ellen, Monday Sept 8th, their first day of school.

    Certainly there could be a couple of days tape delay, but from that dog adoption hub-bub Ellen was caught in. I remember a very fast response time from her show….like the next day.
