Does Colbert King read AoSHQ?
— Jack M.

I direct your attention to the following passage in my incredibly funny, sublimely intelligent, universally beloved and now eerily precognitive entry: "A Night of Terror In DC". In this entry, you may remember, Democratic house members whined about the Tea-Parties.

Here is "Clyburn" on their origins:

Clyburn: I haven't seen professional spitting like that since I marched on Selma in 1965! The Alabama River was so swollen with spittle that it threatened to overrun it's banks and drown the city of Montgomery.

Which would have been OK, actually. Would've taught that racist, segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace a lesson.

Jack: But Wallace was a Democrat, wasn't he?

Clyburn: And a damn fine Democrat! Even ran for President he was so popular.

Jack: But you just wished that he would have been drowned in a flood of spit...

Pelosi: Don't mind him...he's really only here so we can compare everything to Selma, '65. And because I told him we would mandate that you buy all of us coffee.

See....in my critically acclaimed and pulitzer-prize winning entry, I had Democratic House Members comparing the protesters in Selma to the Teapartiers. In fact, in my compelling and excessively Swiftian (but better!) satirical piece, I even had James Clyburn say:

Jack: Then why do the vast majority of Americans want the bill repealed?

Clyburn: Because the vast majority of Americans were at Selma in 1965!

Enter today's trenchant analysis, (which, unlike my piece, I believe is meant to be taken seriously) provided by one Colbert King (safe link to NRO):

The angry faces at Tea Party rallies are eerily familiar. They resemble faces of protesters lining the street at the University of Alabama in 1956 as Autherine Lucy, the school's first black student, bravely tried to walk to class.

Those same jeering faces could be seen gathered around the Arkansas National Guard troopers who blocked nine black children from entering Little Rock's Central High School in 1957.

"They moved closer and closer," recalled Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine. "Somebody started yelling, 'Lynch her! Lynch her!' I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd — someone who maybe could help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me."

He throws in a gratuitous mention of David Duke too. Also, teapartiers are directly responsible for Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and Pat Buchanan. Just for good measure.

His thesis concludes:

Hence, an explanation for the familiarity of faces: today's Tea Party adherents are George Wallace legacies.


And some of you thought I was exaggerating when my "Clyburn" character compared everything to Selma, 65. Or said that "the majority of Americans were at Selma, '65."

If I ever write another one, I'll do better. I'll change the references to Tuscaloosa, 1956 in the name of accuracy.

I blame the current discrepancy in my creative tour-de-force on a misinterpretation of the oftentimes cloudy visions of liberal future-thought. Other than that, though, I think my insanely brilliant and ground-breaking piece is pretty spot-on with current realities.

So I ask you...should I send Colbert King a bill?

6 A good question is this; "Why are ALL liberal blacks always professional race mongers?"

We already know the spit incidence was a lie. We know the n-word incidence was a lie.  We have a damn good idea why the racist congressional black caucus marched through the tea party protest.

We just need to know why the liberals are all race mongers.   Is that the only way they can ever get elected?  Are they so incompetent that they can't come up with any original ideas to run on?

15 Whoever the hell this King guy is, he's almost right: the tea party is like the civil rights struggle. He just has the players reversed. The left has become the establishment and they hate the protesters as much as the staid old establishment did in the 60s.

23 Ease up on ol' Colbert, Jack.

He's just trying to protect his gig, you know. Imagine what would happen if his bosses realized that the injustices that sparked the Civil Rights movement are long gone, that racial discrimination has been long dead by law and, to the majority of the public, by simple common sense.

His ass would be out of a job, because all he knows is to call out the racial dogs in his writing.

He'd be obscure and probably unemployed, as would other race-baiters like Sharpton, Jackson, and John Lewis. Same goes for Osama Obama, though he appeals to the 60s radicals, totalitarians and would-be traitors as well.

He's not intelligent enough to be another Walter Williams, so he clings to a dead and (at least as it applies to modern life) irrelevant past.

24 Real men have names like Jack. While seldom heard outside of inbred pasty white families suffering generational penury and mental decline, Colbert is occasionally heard as a pet name for toy ponies or a cherished spitoon.

"Why are ALL liberal blacks always professional race mongers?"

I think that question is the wrong way round.  Why would blacks who aren't race mongers be liberal?  Apart from a lack of basic knowledge, dignity or self respect, I mean.

How about a different kind of what if?  What if we had a Congressional White Caucus who never did anything but try to advance bill for the benefit of white people only and who threw up anti-black rhetoric all the time?

How do you think that would play out in the press?

We have to expect it. We have to allow for it.'  Well, how come the anger that we feel, the Democrats aren't interested in understanding?  Why do they not ask, 'Why are they so mad?'"

I wonder at what point do some, or even one of these well educated hard working CEOs finally think, enough is enough, and tell these assholes very publicly, "Sir, fuck off. I will not be intimidated by some two bit partisan hack such as yourself."

There will be a point (perhaps it's already here) where it becomes less likely as time goes by, as penalties for stepping out of line become more and more severe.  I'm hoping it'll happen soon, before that point is reached.

95 May I make a suggestion?

I think it's time to start a movement.  People on the good side need to think long and hard about who they do business with and where they donate their time and money.

Know of a company that's democratic owned, don't do business with them.  Know of charities that support democratic causes?  Don't give them a dime.  Don't associate with democratic embracing organizations, don't hire democrats where you work, basically fuck them at every turn, every day, every hour.

I have never understood why, but since it does annoy them, who cares. 

Also, in addition to CEOs, this may be the year that American Jewry finally clues in to the fact that the Dems are not their friends.  That would be a huge, possibly mortal blow to their national viability.  Of course, even better would be if English-Americans also decided that Obama was not their friend.  Folks,  the evidence is there.

I doubt that most Big business will support the GOP.  They've been all out for the Dims the last several election cycles.  Why?  Govt regulations provide a barrier to entry, and typically exacts a greater cost on smaller competitors.

@71: While we're at it, call it the 'democrat' party instead of the 'democratic' party. Rubs their scales the wrong way ...

You're exactly right about that...saying 'democratic' makes it sound like they're the 'democracy' party as opposed to those evil R's that want to take people's votes away from them.  Most people don't even know what 'Republic' means and it has negative associations eg: 'People's Republic of China' or 'Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'...the Republicans should consider changing their brand a bit.

Paul Krugman column today: "Democrats had a lot of harsh things to say about former President George W. Bush — but you'll search in vain for anything comparably menacing, anything that even hinted at an appeal to violence, from members of Congress, let alone senior party officials."

Three points:

A. Bullshit!

B. The Democrat leaders have never had to worry about saying anything nasty: their supporters parade with lynched effigies of Republicans including Bush, Pallin, Cheney and many others, they carry signs depicting Bush beheaded, they write novels and make movies about his assassination, and the media just ignores it, so they never have to acknowledge it, much less apologize for it.  But let a Tea Party member scream at a Congressman, and oh shit oh dear we have to hold all Republicans accountable for this horrible thought-crime, which they conveniently transform into a racial slur at the whim of a politician claiming so, without a shred of evidence demanded.

C. Fuck you, Krugman, you lying sack of shit.

Rush has been saying this for a few years now.  Beck also said to listen to the BO admin prefacing the title of international thugs as "the democratically elected so and so" to give them the air of credibility.

Following #95, may I make another suggestion?

Put the mark of Cain on every congressman who voted for health care reform.

If (say) Bill Owens endorses a candidate, send a note to that candidate that Owens participated in a ruinous action, and you'll not be voting for him for the sole reason that he attracted Owens' endorsement. If Owens is appointed to a corporation's board of directors, write a letter to the chairman saying you'll not have anything to do with the company's products, services or stock, and tell him why. (And cc the note to your current congressman.)

I don't want these people to land on their feet after they're voted out of office.

That's typical John Kerry. He always says stuff that means two things. You know what he really meant, but when he's called on it he claims he meant the other thing.

I'll bet he meant that he'd like to have literally killed President Bush. At the same time, it is just an expression.

For another example, well, I do not see Disney listed anywhere.  Sorry to break it to mommies and daddies out there, but Disney is far more powerful and more dead-set against this country's goodness than anyindividual actor.

122 Clyburn, of course, wasn't at Selma - but he spend nearly 20 years in the made-up useless position of South Carolina Human Rights Commissioner, Democratic Governor John West's gift to blacks after state police shot at students at S.C. State in 1974. 

No subsequent Governor attempted to replace Clyburn due to the inevitable cries of racism, and the fact the dull-witted Clyburn wouldn't have been able to find gainful employment and might have returned to teaching, sabotaging South Carolina's long drive to stay ahead of Mississippi in public education ("We're #49! We're #49!").

Finally the Bozo stepped down to run for the newly-created Negro Seat in Congress, engineered by gerrymandering every black neighborhood along I-95 from Dillon to Savannah into a single very long, very think district.  Thankfully, numbnuts wasn't heard much of after that, quietly getting jobs for his friends and relatives and amassing more money than he could reasonable account for having, but the Democrats adhere to the seniority system, and just by outlasting others, he moved into "leadership," demonstrating the utter moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Democratic Party.  The End.

Colbert King ? How many of these faux intellectual dot-connecting poseurs does the Legacy Media have ?

My college profs did the same bullshit - throw wordy concepts out without explanation or context, draw dubious connections to unrelated events and use a theatrical delivery to make what you are saying seem revelatory, insightful and profound.  And just like students back then, King's readers, who probably don't have the foggiest notion of what he's saying, accept what he says as a proven argument and hector their friends with it.  It's total bullshit.

"George Wallace started the Tea Parties" is up there with "Harry Truman Won the Cold War."

"He throws in a gratuitous mention of David Duke too. Also, teapartiers are directly responsible for Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and Pat Buchanan. Just for good measure." - Jack M.

 

Pat Buchanan???  He isn't even a dinosaur. He is already a fossil.

His slimy and vicious attacks on GW and on GW's dad to ingratiate himself with Chrissy Matthews and to get a job on MSNBC shattered any credibility that he ever had. Never mind that he made a complete fool out of himself when he ran for POTUS.

To put that smelly, old fart in the league of Rush, Sean and Glenn is analogous to including an old, braying jackass with the mention of famous thoroughbred race horses for no other reason than because they're of the same genus. 

Hell, he isn't even of the same genus anymore. Indications of his early dementia have made him irrelevant.  If that doesn't show that Colbert is your typical dense, shallow, obtuse and clueless psuedo intellectual, I don't know what else will.

Pat Buchanan? Geezez, that fool has become a caricature of himself,
