Herding Cats aka The Alabama Democratic Party

Alabama Democratic Party Cat Herding Update

The time to inform democratic voters the democratic nominee for the Supreme Court is a bigot is BEFORE the democratic primary not AFTER the fact.  It's kind of like trying to UN-RING a Bell.

There is a huge disconnect between the Big Cats and the Big Dogs within the ADP , which manifest itself in the Big Cats deciding who should represent the interest of Alabama's   poor/black/brown citizens. 

Instead of trying to un-ring a bell, why isn't the ADP organizing in support of former Governor Don Siegelman instead of offering prayers for him and his family?

Again- para quoting the late Civil Rights Activist Fannie Lou Hammer, you can pray until you are blue in the face but unless you get off your knees and do something, God isn't going to give you anything.

RedEye over and out....for now

Federal prosecutors and civil rights lawyers say that Katrina laid bare a culture of corruption, racist violence and a code of silence in the New Orleans police department (NOPD). They describe a force in chaos: while some officers were dedicated to saving lives, others armed themselves with their own automatic weapons and behaved like vigilantes; senior officers spread false assertions that martial law was declared and encouraged the shooting of looters.

At least 10 people died at the hands of the police. Some civil rights lawyers suspect the real figure is much higher. All the victims were African Americans.

The trial closed under the radar of the American media this week. I wonder why? Snark

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — Five police officers on trial in the shooting deaths of civilians in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were portrayed Tuesday in closing arguments as criminals or heroes.

“It was unreasonable for these officers to fire even one shot,” said Assistant US Attorney Theodore Carter, who reminded jurors of video footage that showed they unleashed “54 seconds of gunfire.”

The trial, which began five weeks ago, focuses on an incident on September 4, 2005, as two families whose homes were devastated by Katrina’s flood waters were crossing New Orleans’s Danziger Bridge.

In what prosecutors have described as a “hail of gunfire,” two people were killed, both African Americans, and four were wounded.

The mainstream media also ignored the Fire Department of New York's dirty little secret. But that's OK. Snark

A former FDNY official shed light on a troubling back-room practice that helped white firefighter candidates get hired despite having criminal records.

President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday this week, despite Republican opposition. Yep. After holding a gun to the heads of the American people and forcing him to cough cough compromise with Satan, the republicans still weren't happy. They had to call him an ol'boy and a Tar Baby.

I agree with mooncat-In my book, anybody who admits to hostage-taking deserves to be called a terrorist. The Tea Party Repubs earned that moniker, same way Republicans earned their reputation as racists. The only thing I would add if I were allowed to post at LiA, is anyone who votes for the racist TeaPublicans (my word) are racist.

Is There A State Democratic Party Anywhere In America In Worse Shape Than Florida's? Uh, Yea....how about Sweet Home Alabama? The Alabama Democratic Party is enabling the Alabama GOP via the media, to disband the Alabama Democratic Conference under the guise they are cough cough corrupt. Never mind the ADC get out the vote for a straight Democratic ticket in every election and a lot of cough cough elected officials wouldn't be in office without the black/block vote. Nope, the political reality is ADP is tired of being known as the N-word party so the N's have to go so white voters will come back to the party of George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, and Jesse Helms. Today's republicans are yesterday's democrats.

Bigots have the right (pun intended) to be bigots on the Internet. You either believe in Freedom of Speech or you don't. I will not moderate (censor) comments because I don't agree with them or because they "offend" me. That is the tone I believe in. That is the tone our sons and daughters in the military fight and die for.

On that note, I would like to welcome The Locust Fork News back online after a three-week unplanned hiatus due to a hacking attack. Is that what they do when they don't like what you're saying?

Michael Bloomberg / $30 million from Bloomberg + $30 million from Soros + $60 million from NYC = help. Not a white man's burden or a waste of money.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!
NYC to blow $127 Million on programs for black and Hispanics aged 16-24 only.

Sounds more like the white man not wanting black and brown Americans become productive citizens because then they can't call them lying lazy, shiftless, drug dealing, pimps and nappy-headed ho's to me.

For the record, NYC isn't blowing $127 million on the program, it's investing 60 million in the future of our country.

RedEye over and out.
