By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Feb 24, 2009 in Barack Obama, FBI, FISA, GLBT, George Bush, Martin Luther King, Washington Post | 41 Comments

I will just go ahead and say upfront that I was saddened by the following article, and the information contained therein (major H/T to Andy for alerting me to this piece), J. Edgar Moyers The TV moralist’s government record. Why? Because Bill Moyers is someone for whom I had respect. His [...]

1)Time magazine has an update on the disturbing case of Alabama governor Don Siegelman. If you’ve not been following this story lately, it’s worth a look, as it is one of the most egregious cases of political-turned-into-criminal take downs I’ve ever seen.
Next month in Atlanta, a federal court will hear the high-profile [...]

Late Open Thread * MLK Foundation »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Nov 12, 2008 in Current Affairs, Larry Johnson, Martin Luther King, Open Thread | 43 Comments

This is the acknowledgement that Larry C. Johnson received for contributing, at the Founding Member level, to the Martin Luther King Foundation. It was a very large image, and tough to reduce without distorting the text. I hope it is readable.
It is important for me to tell you, because he rarely ever mentions [...]

In the wake of the 2008 elections, it has become painfully obvious that the Republican Party needs to wipe the slate clean, do a total house cleaning and start over; rebuilding the party around their young superstars.
Where was the famous and much touted day of the election get out the vote power of the GOP?
Why [...]

When It Comes to Obama, Is It Jackie Robinson or Sally Fields? »

I wanted to wait for a few days before commenting on the import of the election of Barack Obama. As longtime readers of NoQuarter know firsthand, Barack’s skin color has been completely irrelevant to the question of his qualification to be President.
He is a quintessential enigma wrapped in a conundrum (i.e., an [...]

Thanks to several alert readers here at No Quarter, I have learned about a new documentary on Caucus Fraud that is just coming out. “We Will Not Be Silenced, ” by Gigi Gaston, came into being according to their website because:
As Americans, we expect certain liberties and rights that were granted us by [...]

Such A Brouhaha »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 16, 2008 in ACORN, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, New Yorker, Race, Racism | 279 Comments

All over a cartoon. A satirical cartoon at that. The one Obama didn’t care about before he cared about it. Yes, I am referring to the cover of the New Yorker which dared to depict The Emperor and Empress Obama in anything less than a devotional homage. How DARE they?!? Never mind that the cartoon [...]

The Adulation of a Leader: a Cautionary Tale »

Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Messiah, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Obamedia, Ronald Reagan | 265 Comments

Barack Obama broke with tradition when he moved the Democratic National Committee from DC to Chicago. For many of us, this move emphasized the merger of the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. And to many of us, that merger made clear that the Democratic Party no longer belongs to the people, it belongs to [...]

I am a major contributor at DoneDems.com. “DONE” stands for “Democrats Over Nominating Elitists.”

Once again, I am in the minority. While I stood and still stand as a member of the 18 million strong majority of Hillary Clinton’s supporters, I represent an infinitesimal minority as a member of the less than 10% of African Americans [...]

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My [...]

The Movement »

By Larry Johnson on Apr 24, 2008 in Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Black Agenda Report, Black nationalism, Martin Luther King, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Weather Underground, William Ayers | 258 Comments

Give Barack Obama his due.  He has revived feelings and emotions that recall the Sixties.  But not all of the feelings and emotions of that era are good or decent.  Unless you are at least 53 years old, you have no real clear memory of the struggles of the period.  So I am guessing that [...]

Helen Thomas, Our National Treasure, Speaks Out on Hillary & Barack [Updated] »

In this YouTube posted on April 5th, Helen reminisces — with her typical great wit and her insights — on the presidents since JFK.
From Helen Thomas’s latest column:
“Obama has captivated the enthusiastic support of America’s youth and ignited their interest in presidential politics. His eloquent speeches are designed for the bully pulpit. But does a [...]

CNN’s Roland Martin Interviews Hillary »

We hit CNN’s Roland Martin, and CNN, hard on March 26th in Fleaflicker’s story, “Why Doesn’t CNN’s Roland Martin Get Axed like Carville and Begala Did?” We pointed out that Martin appears to be “a professional apologist for and supporter of Barack Obama,” and that he gives short shrift to Hillary Clinton’s qualities and [...]

Lessons we learn when we are young tend to stick with us throughout life. Especially when those lessons are learned from people we respect and admire. Hillary Clinton learned a few important lessons from a very great man whose death we both mourn and celebrate on this day.
At the tender age of 14, Hillary [...]

Is Barack Obama the George Wallace of the Left? »

By Bud White on Mar 31, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton, Martin Luther King, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. | 29 Comments

The code words are different this time around. Instead of appealing to whites’ fears of forced integration by mentioning busing, Obama has elicited black prejudice by using terms like like hoodwinked, bamboozled, and okie-doke.

Can you imagine another prominent African American politician using this language? Can you see the dignified Colin Powell using this dog-whistle? [...]
