More Racial Bull**** From The GOP, Drudge, Fox News And Talk Radio!


The Republicans are dooming themselves.

Karl Rove is trying to stop the self-inflicting wounds by running a SuperPac that may target Republicans who are too extreme for the general election. That pissed off the Tea Party. Now there is a civil war within the Republican Party over how far to the extreme they'll go.

Also the political foes of President Barack Obama are "upset" over his criticism of them. Now they're scaling an "all out war" against his upcoming policies. The immigration reform and semi-assault weapon ban are highly controversial issues and the conservative agitators in the media are fighting an endless battle to stop progress.

The National Rifle Association continues to attack the president's proposal on gun control. They now have another web ad targeting the president for being an "elitist". The gun lobbyist group are going through a public relation disaster after Wayne LaPierre made fool of himself post Sandy Hook.

The picture is an individual arrested. Apparently the individual is Hispanic and he has a tattoo of President Barack Obama on his stomach. So I am assuring how Matt Drudge spins the picture:


Fox News respond back to the president. The president talked to The New Republic about how Republicans and Fox News are dooming the Republicans in general elections. The network responded with force. Sean Hannity in particular went this ridiculous tirade about how it's up to him and the people over at Fox News to expose the president's "failed" policies and history of "radicalism!" Bill O'Reilly called the Democratic Party and the president the "enablers" of the economic turmoils. Chris Wallace was snubbed by the White House and he goes to a conservative publication to say that "if he's willing to talk to Iran why wouldn't he talk to Fox?"

The network seen a sharp dive in age 25-54 demo post election. The rival MSNBC is rising in ratings and Fox News commentators are taking aim at rivals. The same controversial themes Fox News uses MSNBC picked up. From misleading headings, selective video clips, and favoring one particular candidate over another, Fox News done it so well, MSNBC wanted to get it's chance to balance the fold.

Fox News in particular does selective editing and misleading subjects on most of their programs. Yet these are the people who complain about Martin Bashir, Chris Matthews, Andrea Mitchell, Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz for doing the very same. Fox allow Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and numerous others do the very same.

Republicans are desperate to win back women and Hispanics.

But their policies aren't going to win anyone but the radicals within their party.

State governors are rushing to sign legislation that allows transvaginal probes to prevent abortions. Some state Republicans are passing legislation to make states right to work.

The White House leaks out their immigration proposals to the press. The proposals got the water drinking Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) in a pinch. The senator released a press release saying that the president should stay out of the way. Basically if Congress can't come up with a bill that would work, the president would.  And Rubio and the Republicans say the president's proposals for anything are "dead in the water!"

The amount of racism within the Republican Party is so obvious.

From the first Black president to a growing Hispanic population, Republicans show no respect towards them. They've been rallying their base to oppose anything the president does. Despite losing the presidential election, Republicans double down on the stupidity.

They keep their talking points handily. Whether they click on The Drudge Report or rushing to the cameras on Fox News, Republicans continue the slide into irrelevance.

Airline Passenger Arrested For Slapping Child Uttered Racial Slur!

joe rickey hundley & jonah bennett


I didn't want to talk about an issue that happened over the weekend. A man was charged with a federal crime for an assault of a child on an airliner flight. Joe Rickey Hundley was accused of slapping a child and told the mother of a crying child to “shut that nigger baby up.”

Coming from the Redding News Review and EURWeb, the story.

This all happened on February 8 aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 721. As a result – according to a US District Court affidavit - Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, has been charged with simple assault. Hundley, is president of an aircraft parts manufacturer headquartered in Hayden, Idaho, according to The Smoking Gun.

In an interview, Hundley denied striking the toddler or using a racial slur, though he did acknowledge that he “asked the mother to quiet the child.” Hundley, who said he was traveling to Atlanta to visit a hospitalized relative, described himself as “distraught” on the flight, during which he said he consumed a single alcoholic drink.

As detailed by FBI Agent Daron Cheney, Hundley was traveling to Atlanta from Minneapolis in seat 28A on the MD-90 twin-engine jet. He was seated next to Jessica Bennett, who shared seat 28B with her son Jonah.

Bennett, 33, told investigators that the “aircraft was in final descent” to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport when her child “started to cry due to the altitude change.” Bennett added that she “was trying to get [her son] to stop crying, but he continued.”

At this point, Bennett recalled, Hundley used the racial epithet as he told her to shut the child up. He then allegedly “turned around and slapped” the toddler in the face “with an open hand, which caused the juvenile victim to scream even louder.” The slap, Bennett said, “caused a scratch below [the child’s] right eye.”

If any of this is true, Mr. Hundley should be grateful he’s still vertical. He’s very lucky he didn’t strike the child of any number of mothers we know. We’ll just leave at that. But, what would you do?

In the meantime, as we said at the top, this low life was only charged with simple assault, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Atlanta. If convicted of the misdemeanor count, he faces a maximum of one year in prison.

Jesse Jackson, Jr. Will Be Visiting The Iron College!

Ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson will be visiting the iron college.

Former Illinois congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. was charged with a federal crime.

The son of famed civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has come to grips with his future.

After a long absence from the U.S. Congress, Jackson still won reelection before he abruptly resigned.

Today marks another scar on Jesse Jackson's name. Of course, this assures conservative and white supremacists ire. Whenever there's a story about Jesse Jackson, expect a right wing agitator to get upset over it.

Reuters reports the controversy.

Jackson with his wife Sandi spent federal campaign funds on their personal lifestyle.

WASHINGTON/CHICAGO, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Former Chicago congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., son of the famed civil rights leader, plans to plead guilty to charges filed on Friday accusing him of misusing $750,000 in campaign funds, his attorney said.

Jackson's wife, Sandi Jackson, has also agreed to plead guilty to a related charge of filing false tax returns, according to her attorneys. She resigned her seat on the Chicago city council last month.

Both Jacksons, once considered one of the most powerful couples in the city, issued statements accepting responsibility.

"I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made," said Jesse Jackson Jr, a Democrat, in his statement. He faces fraud and conspiracy charges.

Jackson's wife said in a statement that she was "deeply sorry" for her actions.

Once considered one of the most promising black politicians in the United States, Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned his congressional seat on Nov. 21 for health reasons, acknowledging at the time that he was under investigation by the FBI.

Jackson was once talked about as having the potential to become the first black president, noted Andy Shaw, president and CEO of the Chicago-based Better Government Association.

"Instead of heading for the White House, he is heading for the big house, and that is an enormous fall from grace," Shaw said in a radio interview on WBBM-AM.

Jackson's father, a former presidential candidate, was not immediately available for comment.

Prosecutors said at least seven people were involved in the scheme to divert campaign funds to personal uses.

Among the accusations is that Jesse Jackson, Jr. shipped a $43,350 men's Rolex watch purchased with campaign funds to his D.C. address. He also shipped fur capes and parkas purchased with $5,150 in campaign funds to the Beverly Hills home of an unnamed person, the documents said.

As part of the case, the government said Jackson must forfeit tens of thousands of dollars in celebrity memorabilia derived from the alleged crimes, including a $4,600 fedora that once belonged to late pop star Michael Jackson.

Under federal sentencing guidelines, if convicted, Jackson faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and his wife three years, but defendants who accept responsibility are typically sentenced to much less than the maximum term.

JACKSON'S ABSENCE

Jackson disappeared from public view early in the summer of 2012 and speculation swirled for weeks about his condition. He said in late June he had taken a leave of absence two weeks earlier for treatment of what was then described as exhaustion.

Jackson issued a statement in early July saying his health problems were more serious and he needed extended in-patient treatment for unspecified "physical and emotional ailments."

Days later, his physician said the congressman was receiving intensive care for a "mood disorder" and was expected to make a full recovery. The Mayo Clinic announced in late July that Jackson had been admitted.

He was treated for at least six weeks at Mayo for bipolar disorder, sometimes called manic depression, which is marked by highs and lows of mood and can be treated by medication and psychological counseling.

Representative Danny Davis, another Chicago Democrat, said he believed the alleged offenses were related to the disorder, the symptoms of which can include reckless behavior, such as spending sprees.

"It's kind of beyond one's imagination," Davis told Reuters. "A $5,000 football - that's kind of bizarre. It's so sad and so unfortunate."

Jackson made it to Congress in 1995 after winning a special election triggered by the resignation of Representative Mel Reynolds, who was convicted of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography. Reynolds is now vying for the seat again in a Feb. 26 Democratic primary.

Jackson was a reliable liberal vote during his 17-year House career, supporting increases in the minimum wage, the expansion of environmental regulations and gay rights and, in 2008, the bailout of the teetering U.S. financial system.

He was also an early advocate of a strict timeline for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. He was easily re-elected in November 2012, despite his absence from the district. His resignation came two weeks after the election.

In addition to the federal investigation of his campaign finances, Jackson had been the subject of a House ethics committee probe over an alleged bribe offered by a Jackson supporter in 2008 to then-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

The bribe was said to be intended to entice Blagojevich to appoint Jackson to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Jackson has admitted to lobbying for the seat, but denied knowing about any money offered to Blagojevich, who has since been convicted of corruption and imprisoned.

Conservatives Uproar Over Marc Lamont Hill And Others Support Of Chris Dorner!

Columbia professor and TV agitator Dr. Marc Lamont Hill angers conservatives over support for killer cop Christopher Dorner. Hill compared Dorner to Django Unchained.

Ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer Chris Dorner murderous rampage came to a bloody end.

He was finally caught!

He was found in a burned cabin. The LAPD and their tactical response team have thrown flash bombs into the cabin. The cabin caught on fire. The extremist Dorner killed himself, before the cabin went into flames.

Conspiracies are floating around that the LAPD killed him with the flash bombs. Because one police scanner stated one officer saying "burn this motherfucker down!"

Many thought that the ex-cop was going to fight to the bloody end. It appeared to be likely so.

He managed to kill one officer during a firefight with the LAPD.

Chris Dorner supporter.
The HUGE controversy comes from the social media. Each side has an emotional reaction to the tragedy. Some are calling this individual a "liberal". Some are calling him a "conservative"!

Others are demanding an investigation of the LAPD, because of complaints by Dorner. Some in the social media world are supporting this guy!

What drove the Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Matt Drudge and Fox News crowd to the nuthouse was the comments by Columbia professor Dr. Marc Lamont Hill.

Hill was comparing this shooting rampage to Django Unchained, the hit movie featuring Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson.

Hill is a the host of Black Enterprises: Our World and is considered a "token liberal" who appears on Fox News and occasionally CNN to bash Blacks and President Barack Obama. Sometimes he comes off as a strong debater but he's usually backed into a corner especially when debating Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.



The comments stated by Hill were picked up by the conservative media.

"[You see people] rooting for somebody who was wronged to get a kind of revenge against the system. It’s almost like watching Django Unchained in real life. It’s kind of exciting."

If one thing has taught me about double standards, it only applies to Black and White.

White men want gun rights. They want gun control for Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. They can't stand these people with firearms. That's why you see all this phony outrage from the likes of conservative agitators in the media. They didn't like what a Black man said. American racism is thriving in the age of President Barack Obama. Some Black people are glad that he threatened the LAPD. The second largest police department in the nation has a public relations problem when it comes to incidents involving unarmed individuals.
Christopher Dorner, the killer ex-cop who was found in a burnt cabin.
What both parties failed to see was that these recent shooting tragedies come from individuals who appear to be mentally ill! Yeah, most of these mass shooters are WHITE MEN.

Of course when it's WHITE MEN, conservatives don't want the label of terrorist on their shoulders.

But since it's a Black man, it's all good to call him everything from a Nigger to one of Obama's sons!

Dr. Marc Lamont Hill should apologize for the insensitive comments.

But he could have put a prospective to how it's a double standard to how the media covers mass shooters. Say if he would have stated that some were rooting for Adam Lanza, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, that would have put prospective to this.

Did Fox Cross The Line On Desiline Victor Criticism?

Fox News goes after elderly voter who spent hours in line for an opportunity to vote. 

Have you no shame, Fox News?

Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends.
The "straight" news anchors Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum were on Brian Kilmeade's radio program "Kilmeade & Friends". This is the radio version of "Fox & Friends". It follows the sport anchor Kilmeade into the political jungle with conservative spin.

These clowns were dogging on 102 year old Desiline Victor. The woman waited hours for an opportunity to vote. President Barack Obama signals a fight for equal voting rights. Republican governors are trying to suppress Black, Hispanic and the poor.

Now if they had any sense they would understand this is a controversy.

This voter suppression tactics may have waken a sleeping giant. The turnout for Black and Hispanic voters was very high. The non-White voter went overwhelmingly for President Barack Obama over perennial loser Mitt Romney.

Florida and Ohio are two prized states in most elections. A Republican can't win the presidency without carrying these two states. The Republicans have control of the governorship and state chambers. And through their terms, they'll continue to defy the president at every turn.
Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum of America's Newsroom on Fox News.
Fox News, The Drudge Report and talk radio have enabled Republicans.

Republicans are more misinformed then ever before.

These are the ones who claim supporters of President Barack Obama are "low information voters!"

Keep it up.

NEWSFLASH: NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS! MANY AMERICANS HATE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT MAY COST FAMILIES TO BREAK UP OR FRIENDSHIPS! 

POLITICS IS TOO DIVISIVE! 

PEOPLE LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH, GLENN BECK, SEAN HANNITY, HERMAN CAIN, NEAL BOORTZ AND MICHAEL SAVAGE ARE OLD AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REST OF THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS! 

THEY HAVE A HUGE AUDIENCE OF LISTENERS BUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY NEVER HEARD OF THEM AND DON'T GIVE TWO LICKS ABOUT THEM!

So Media Matters for America is this blog that tracks conservative misinformation. It captures the reaction to the president's mention of Desiline Victor.

Brian Kilmeade along with Fox's Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer laughed off the difficulties 102-year-old Desiline Victor endured in order to vote in the 2012 election. Victor, who was invited to the State of the Union address and whom President Obama applauded for enduring a long wait to vote, had to make two trips to the polls and wait in line for over three hours before she was able to cast her ballot.

Discussing Victor, MacCallum wondered, "What's the big deal?" and said, "This is such a non-issue. Ridiculous." Hemmer added that at the State of the Union, "They held her up as a victim. What was she a victim of?"

Running Wild: Famed Runner Charged With Murder!

Blade Runner Charged With Murder!

This is a horrible tragedy on Valentine's Day.

The South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius, best known as "The Blade Runner" is charged with murder.

The paralympian was arrested for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp. Steenkamp is a famed South African model and reality star. She was the girlfriend of Pistorius.

Reeva Steenkamp was murdered by famed Olympian.
Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale told The Associated Press that officers found a 9-mm pistol at the scene.

Police spokesperson Captain Sarah Mcirca also confirmed that the victim was shot in the arm and the head, USA Today reported.

"There are witnesses and they have been interviewed this morning. We are talking about neighbors and people that heard things earlier in the evening and when the shooting took place," police brigadier Denise Beukes said.

The circumstances of the shooting have not yet been released.

Steenkamp's publicist Sarit Tomlinson described the incident as a "huge loss for everyone and too shocking for words."

"She was a rising star ... a very bright young girl," Tomlinson said.

Silver Woods Country Estate, the prestigious gated community where Pistorius lives, also released the following statement: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic cir­cum­stances that occurred today at Sil­ver Woods. Our sincere con­do­lences, thoughts and prayers go out to Reeva Steenkamp’s fam­ily and friends."

Pistorius, 26, who was born without a fibula in both legs, was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics. Nicknamed the "Blade Runner," he was able to compete by wearing carbon fiber prosthetic blades.

A national hero in South Africa, Pistorius ran in 11 races during the 2012 Games and the Paralympics. He returned home with "two Paralympic gold medals, Paralympic silver, two world records, a Paralympic record, an Olympic individual semi-final and an Olympic final." He was also named one of the "sexiest men alive" by People Magazine.

The South African Olympic committee said it would be inappropriate to comment on the shooting because of the ongoing police investigation, but issued the following statement: "The organization is in no position to comment on the incident other than to say our deepest sympathy and condolences have been expressed to the families of all concerned."

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Reeva Steenkamp.
