Dale Jackson calls for investigation of voter fraud story, say's it doesn't pass the "smell test"

Question to @shellyhaskins & @anthonycook: Does this @aldotcom "Voter Fraud?" story pass the smell test? https://t.co/hwOOmEFDvb #alpolitics

I will let you read the details for yourself, but please note Jackson is not questioning if the story is true,  he is accusing  Al.com of.......... orchestrating this story.

Wow… AL.com writer writes how voter ID isn’t necessary and viola his wife finds a old woman who is denied the right to vote. AL.com then writes the story WITHOUT talking to the woman?
Good job.

There is one small problem with this scenario:

 The voter, a great-grandmother to five, was deeply embarrassed by the whole incident and declined to talk directly with AL.com, but she gave her go-ahead for her neighbor, who took her to the polls, to relay the incident, with the provision that her name not be used.

It ought to be against the law to turn people away from the polls in the United States of America.  That's what  doesn't pass the smell test.

  "What purpose did turning her away from the polls serve?"

I wonder how many of cases of "suspected voter fraud" were turned in to the GOP?

Liar Liar Pants on Fire Dale Jackson!

 

 A crowd of approximately 300 participated in the JOJ March Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, from Huntsville City Hall to the Annie C. Mertz Center to oppose changing the school's name. (Bob Gathany/bgathany@al.com)

Here he goes again....... Attacking ...African American.... leaders, and elected officials because it looks like the Save Johnson High School Movement is going somewhere, and Mr. Dale Jackson has to find some way to make it about him. Sigh

First Radio Boy attempted to "alert" the "media"  Madison County Commissioner Robert "Bob" Harrison used county Vans to "bus protesters in".  The media ignored him (and rightfully so)  because that was L-I-E. Vans were not used to bus protesters to the march, vans were used to transport elderly and handicapped taxpayers who wanted to participate in the Save J.O. Johnson march from City Hall to the Annie Mertz Center.

This is the latest L-I-E: North Huntsville Leaders are pretending this deal to close J.O. Johnson was a backroom deal, not so fast.

The narrative from the press is the poor folks in North Huntsville were shocked by decisions to close and rebuild schools, including removing the illustrious name at J.O. Johnson High School…

Not so fast Dale!  It's not a "narrative from the press", that's how they treat "poor folks in North Huntsville", and BTW, aren't Y-O-U  The  Press?

RedEye Around Al.com

I canceled my subscription to the Huntsville Behind the Times when they gave Dale Jackson a column so he could continue to misinform the uninformed, choosing to read the Decatur Daily: The Independent Voice of the Tennessee Valley instead, but two articles on al.com caught my attention and made me do a double take.

First Take:

"I don't usually write about race.
As a Christian, I don't like to give a lot of power to such division. The Bible makes it clear that there's only one race – the human race."

These are the words of Anthony Cook, the community news director for al.com/Huntsville and the Huntsville Times, and the same Anthony Cook who explained why The Huntsville Times risk tainting its brand by associating itself with the likes of Dale Jackson, but as a Christian" he doesn't like to give power to such division by writing about race.

If Christians can't write about race who can?  I mean really?

Take Two:

“We have a lot of parents who bought into the Alabama Accountability Act, and thought they had guaranteed rights that don’t exist,” said McCaulley.

Correction, Ms. McCaulley, we have a lot of poor/black/brown parents who thought they had guaranteed rights that don't exist, affluent/black/brown parents are laughing all the way to the bank.  Maybe if you'd had some town hall meetings and explained the situation to your constituents they wouldn't think they had guaranteed rights that don't exist.

Despite Alabama law allowing all students to flee “failing” schools, Huntsville will not allow hundreds of requested transfers.
“Under the Alabama Accountability Act,” said Superintendent Casey Wardynski, “we don’t have to do any.”
In fact, district officials say Huntsville will grant just eight Accountability Act transfers this year, or one fewer than the number of “failing” schools in the city.

If there was every any doubt the quality of education in Alabama depends on what zip code you live in all you have to do is read this, this, and this. I pity the poor/black/brown parents and students of Alabama.  Really, I do.

That is all.  For now.

White hate, I mean talk, radio cracks me up

 

Radio Boy, aka Dale Jackson(?), and Rush Limbaugh wanna be, uses the public airways to promote white, I mean right wing spin all the time, UNfair and UNbalanced, and sees everything through a racial prism.

I don't listen to his show, but I browse his blog because everybody knows it's his job to keep the white, I mean right wing bigots in line, and I must admit he is doing a pretty good job.

In the interest of full disclosure I was banned from his blog, but he's not banned from mine, which I why I am responding to his latest round of right wing  malarkey here.

According to Dale:  Blacks make up 13.6% of the population and commit 28.4% of the crimes,AND almost half the murders in the entire country because they are well......black and that's just what they do.

Dale is WRONG on every level and FBI Table 43A-C  of the Uniform Crime Code for 2011 is PROOF not only that blacks don't COMMIT the most crimes, but  that blacks are ACCUSED,  ARRESTED and CONVICTED of  more crimes than whites.

Numbers don't lie.  

 In the 25 states that have similar "Stand Your Ground" type of laws, white people who kill black people are 354% more likely to be cleared than whites who kill other whites. If we are to ask the United States Department of Justice to investigate a potential civil rights violation against Trayvon, we should also ask them to investigate the racial disparity of how these laws are applied across the country. In the words of Attorney General Eric Holder last week at an NAACP convention, do we have the right to “stand our ground to insure that our laws reduce violence, and take a hard look at the laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent?”

Ask George Zimmerman.
