New York Times Calls Only
African-American In The U.S.
Senate A ‘Token’

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

Original Article

Posted By:Drive, 12/19/2012 8:58:44 AM

You have got to hand it to the New York Times’ editors – they’ve got moxy. A Times opinion piece on Tuesday introducing their readers to the newest Senator from the Palmetto State, former Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), speaks about him – and those with who share his political affiliation and skin color – in the terms you would describe a curious science project. In “The Puzzle of Black Republicans,” the Times summons all the subtlety of the Kool-Aid Man as they smash through the perception that the “paper of record” maintains a single shred of neutrality

It is time for disgusting publications like the New York TImes to be put out of business, Tim Scott is a fine American and he will make an outstanding Senator. He is no token anything.

This "Token" would be the greatest thing ever if the first black senator was a democrat. It shows who the real racists are so this good man will be attacked for being who he is.

The dems love keeping blacks on the plantation. At the gas station yeaterday, a black man noticed my Romney sticker on my car. He said, " i cant believe we lost the eelction. I am stunned that so many stupid people believed Obama´s lies and voted for him." I agreeed and said i was fond ofmHerman Cain. He said "Cain is a very smart man. But I supported Romney all the way. Still cant believe Obama won." Told him the county I grew up in down in South FL had 100% of its precincts turn in more votes than there were registered voters. He aaid "there was definitely fraud going on in many states. How can anyone get 100% of the vote in some places, like Ø did??" Shook his head and drove off in a very nice car. He was well-dressed and looked like a successful person . God bless him. Ø is coming after his money, as well as ours. That man gets it.

I can only hope that someday someone from the Republican Party will stand up and call these liberal news rags what they really are: RACIST. They constantly bring race into every discussion and then point fingers at republicans for being anti everything under the sun. And they get away with it. It´s time for republicans to stand up, fight back, call them out, and repudiate everything they say, write, speak. That is why we don´t win elections. We allow ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and all the liberal newspaper rags in this country to frame the republican talking points. It´s time to wake up and FIGHT BACK!!!

They call us names, impugn our every word and thought only because with repetition many people believe it and are embarrassed to be labeled a Republican. But, there are exceptions like my friend Barbara who is black, thinks for herself and having been a Democrat knows them like a book. Barbara loudly proclaims, "I am a black Republican and proud of it".

Most liberals are white upper-middle class (and higher) folks who primiarly live in New England states and the Coastal areas in the West.

Most don´t really care about the plight of blacks or hispanics or any other group expect how can we use them to obtain enough votes to keep our agenda moving forward.

Say what you need to say, act like you care, and blame the other party for all their troubles.

How many minorities are in positions of authority or leadership in the Democrat party?
Leahy, Reid, Pelosi, Dingle, Schumer, Boxer, Kerry....

They trot out Maxine Waters and Barbara Jackson Lee to provide window dressing on X issue since neither is in any jeopardy of losing their seat no matter how outlandish their comments. It´s all part of the liberal Democrat game.

Most African-Americans aren´t liberal.
Most Hispanics aren´t liberal.
Most Asians aren´t liberal.

So according to the racists at the NYT, this good man is just a token? He is the first black senator from the south since 1881, and you want to call him a token? Way to cover history there slimeballs.

I think in view of the mindset of liberals now, that commonsense behaviour could qualify now as a minority in the dem camp.

NYT and leftwing extremist uses this code word Token as a term they use for blacks that have strayed from their plantation. They have just modified the Democrat party heyday methods of the KKK to keeps blacks in line.

Thanks Senator Scott and Justice Thomas for being all you can be and leaving the KKK Democrat plantation.

Fox Guests Slam ‘Despicable’
Reaction To Pastor Warren’s
Son’s Death: What Happened

Over the weekend, the Saddleback Valley Community Church announced the sad news that Pastor Rick Warren‘s youngest son, Matthew, committed suicide at the age of 27, after a long struggle with mental illness. On Monday, Megyn Kelly‘s panel took on some of the “despicable” reaction that followed — questioning why the pastor isn’t afforded basic compassion by some of his critics. Noting the “shocking” and “disgusting” vitriol directed at the pastor following the news, Kelly declined to “give a voice to the haters.” Father Jonathan Morris, a Fox News contributor, agreed, deeming the attacks “ridiculous,” “tasteless,” and simply “very sad.”

Bernard Anderson, a pathbreaking African-American economist, understands the importance of rhetoric. He was up front at the Lincoln Memorial when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. And he was in the audience on the Howard University campus in 1965 to hear President Johnson deliver a grim view of the state of black America and declare war on “past injustice and present prejudice.” So Anderson had high hopes as he sat at home in Pennsylvania watching President Obama deliver his second Inaugural Address this year.

President Obama’s legacy may be in the uncertain grip of a conservative senator from Pennsylvania, a former president of the tax-cutting Club for Growth who received high marks from the National Rifle Association. On guns and deficit reduction, two cornerstones of the Obama agenda, Sen. Pat Toomey may hold the key to compromise. Budget: House Republicans privately concede they are willing to raise revenue beyond the $600 billion tax hike approved last year, if Democrats agree to trim Social Security and Medicare benefits.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

You could hear the deep breath, the pause before a conversational plunge. On the phone were Monica Gabrielle and Kristen Breitweiser. Their husbands died at the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attack. This week, a new effort to find remains from the site uncovered 39 pieces of what appeared to be human bones. That was the yield from the first three days of work in a process that is expected to go on for at least two months.

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say. In a significant shift in fiscal strategy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday will send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that departs from the usual presidential wish list that Republicans typically declare dead on arrival.

Washington is edging closer to a budget deal, thanks to a gutsy change in strategy at the White House. Next week, President Obama will propose specific cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget, according to senior White House officials. That will put the onus on House Speaker John Boehner to show some leadership, too. He needs to push Republicans toward accepting tax increases beyond the $600 billion approved in December. It can be done. As I reported last month, Washington’s biggest myth is that a budget deal is out of reach

WASHINGTON — The North Korean army warned the United States on Wednesday it has been cleared to wage nuclear war using “smaller, lighter and diversified weapons.” In a speech earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that North Korea has both the nuclear weapons and the delivery system “now.” It’s the latest round in an escalation of rhetoric and actions that began with a North Korean nuclear test in February. Still, military officials and experts don’t expect North Korea to launch an attack on the United States.

Two breaking news alerts came through the wire this afternoon: First, the AP sent word that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called North Korea´s latest rhetoric a real, clear danger and threat to the U.S. and its allies. Within minutes, CNBC announced that the Pentagon has sent a new missile defense to Guam. The reports that followed those alerts added some meat to the storty -- "Hagel´s comments come as tensions continue to rise between North and South Korea," etc. -- but they are notably lacking in context. How serious is the threat, really? Are the North and South on the verge of war, or is this yet another bluff?

In a bizarre new twist to the saga of Sen. Bob Menendez and his donor-friend Salomon Melgen, members of Melgen’s circle are now hurling accusations at FBI agents investigating the pair’s relationship. During an appearance on the weekly Dominican TV show La Respuesta last week, Melgen’s uncle Vincho Castillo accused the FBI of threatening and kidnapping two of Melgen’s maids. In addition to being the Dominican Republic’s top drug cop and founder of a far right-wing political party, Vincho Castillo is also the father of Vinicito Castillo, a lawyer who allegedly participated in sex parties organized by Melgen.

My nephew’s high school government class is studying propaganda, a word most students associated with Hitler, Goebbels, and the like. “I deal with propagandists every day,” I told the class in the Detroit area last week. “They work in the White House and in Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike.” The kids were a bit surprised. “Are you calling them Nazis?” one asked. Of course not, I replied, but politicians today are using new communications tools to spread their version of the truth, much of it misleading. A smart piece by Nancy Benac of the Associated Press describes how the Obama White House “image machine” works--“serving up a stream of words, images, and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate, and on the ball.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
