Reflections From a Murky Pond

This was my original post – to my shame for trusting a MSM source:

Sen. Obama invoked the race card with his “dog whistle” applause points about how they GOP would use his race against him.

We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. ‘He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?

— Sen. Barack Obama
This particular quote is from a Jacksonville, FL rally.
Similar statements were regularly used before and after this one.

Obama’s supporters and the media in general quickly jumped on this tacit endorsement of using race in the Presidential campaign and have done they’re best to foment racial hatred in the days that followed.

The racial hate that Obama engendered has finally bore its poisonous fruit:

From WTAE (an ABC affiliate):

A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said “Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.”

So a young women is attacked by a Black man and suffers humiliation and possibly permanent facial scarring because she support McCain.

The Obama campaign offers their “thoughts and prayers” but fails to denounce the behavior of the felon and they fail to say that this behavior is totally unacceptable. They fail to say that this is a hate or bias crime. They bless the Black felon with faint damnation.

The elections are only a few days away. Please think about this. When you cast your vote for President, you are not just electing a President; you are voting in agreement with that candidate’s supporters. Are the people who think these videos are funny the ones you want to empower?

Please review the picture below:

Unless her attacker was dyslexic – a possibility but a doubtful one – it looks like she carved that “B” into her face herself!

My wife-in-all-but-law, Eve and I tested this out in the bathroom mirror after I got access to the photo. We used eye liner and drew “B’s” on the right side of her face, both her doing it in the mirror and my doing to her.  When she did it to herself in the mirror it matched the photo. When I did it to her it was reversed from what is shown in the image shown above.

This is appears to the most pernicious and vile sort of hoax. I hope – if my tests prove to be indicative of the the truth – that there’s a very special place in Hell for this woman. Racial tensions are high enough due to the bullshit perpetrated by the MSM without stupid or just plain evil people adding to it.

Addendum: Police report that the  woman has admitted to concocting this hoax.

Terry “Terrible” Tate aka Lester Speight is a washed-up ex-NFL linebacker who made some commercials for Reebok based on his violent character. The commercials did very poorly on-air, but were popular internet downloads from the Reebok website.

Terry Tate is back in the limelight again. He’s made not one but two new videos wherein he assaults Gov. Sarah Palin while she is talking to Katie Couric.

The Left like this filth:

Terry Tate: Reading Is Fundemental

…And this filth:

Terry Tate: From Russia With Love

This racist, misogynist filth was published on Oct 16th, 2008. I waited until today – the 23rd – to post about it because I wanted to first see what the reactions to the videos would be. Those reactions turned out to be quite disheartening – but on hindsight, not in the least bit unexpected.

The Left thinks it’s hilariously funny to watch a giant Black man assault and smash a White woman to the ground and then berate her as she lays there wounded. In their twisted minds Black-on-White interracial violence is funny. To them it’s only racist when the subject is White-on-Black violence. Apparently they also think that any and all assaults on women are funny. The Left’s treatment of both Sen. Hillary Clinton and Gov. Sarah Palin make the assertion very clear and apparent.

Neither CBS nor Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign have denounced Terry Tate’s vileness. Both Obama and his media surrogates have failed to report on it at all. I sincerely doubt the situation would be the same if it was a series of videos showing Sen. Obama being assaulted by a large White man.

The elections are only a few days away. Please think about this. When you cast your vote for President, you are not just electing a President; you are voting in agreement with that candidate’s supporters. Are the people who think these videos are funny the ones you want to empower?

In Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes an emperor who cares too much about clothes hires two swindlers who promise him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth. This cloth, they tell him, is invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his position. The Emperor cannot see the (non-existent) cloth, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing stupid; his ministers do the same. When the swindlers report that the suit is finished, they dress him in mime. The Emperor then goes on a procession through the capital showing off his new “clothes”. During the course of the procession, a small child cries out, “But he has nothing on!” The crowd realizes the child is telling the truth.

In the 2008 US Presidential elections fiction has sadly not become reality.

Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher has certainly and painfully found this out. Rather than the Obama supporters realizing the truth about their messiah – to them he is Hope and Change, the messiah for a new America – they attacked Joe, as a person, as a man, and as an American in any way possible.

To all my Conservative readers,

Barack Obama will suspend campaigning for a day and a half so that he can fly to Hawaii to be at the side of his gravely ill grandmother, a campaign aide said late Monday.

Madelyn Dunham, 86, was released from the hospital at the end of last week and returned to her home in Honolulu with a health condition the aide described only as “very serious.”

Please show some respect for his family as we would hope others would show to ours.  Back off a bit unless his surrogates take the fight to us in his absence.

We are better than those who would use something like this against a candidate.

If you worship a God or Goddess or both, please add your prayers for Obama’s grandmother’s recovery or easy passing.

Thank you,

P.S.: Thank you to Chamay0 for posting the notice, though she has less than favorable expectations from McCain and we Conservatives.

Some things, some words, some concepts are truths that weather the passages of eons and epochs.

The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

— Cicero
(106 BC – 43 BC), 55 BC

Marcus Tullius Cicero is generally perceived by historians to be one of the most versatile minds of ancient Rome. He introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary, distinguishing himself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher. An impressive orator and successful lawyer, Cicero probably thought his political career his most important achievement.

Millennia later Cicicero’s words of wisdom are still true. We in America should heed them.
