Rupert Murdoch, who not only owns The New York Post, but Fox News as well, had an apology printed in his racist newspaper:
Murdoch apology
I wonder how long before the next racist outrage show up in his paper or tv station. He still claims that the whole uproar came as a surprise to him. And he still places the onus on those who felt offended. He does not accept responsibility for publishing a racist cartoon. He is stating that some readers thought it was racist! This is no apology,… it’s a continuation of the denial.
I recently read a blog on the otherwise neutral Christian Science Monitor that was reporting on the “apology” by the New York Post about their recent racist cartoon. The article was pretty biased against not only Al Sharpton, but the idea that the cartoon was racist. This, of course, led to numerous comments that veered toward racist dogma.
When I went back to the Christian Science Monitor get some quotes, I found they had removed it:
– Editor’s note: This post has been removed because it generated inappropriate comments.
Thank you Christian Science Monitor for removing the inflammatory. The only relationship this blog and comments had with the 1st amendment is as another example of shouting fire in a crowded theater.
A note: I have added a category labeled race.
addendum 2/20/2009 – I just checked my link to the removed blog, and see that the entire page has been taken down.
This is a theme called Vigilance. It gives me the clean look, but offers a lot more customization.
Right now, the only thing that I don’t like is how small the calendar on the right is. Perhaps that can be altered.
The New York Post has once again revealed its right wing and racist leaning, by publishing a cartoon by Sean Delonas, (who has a record for ridiculing anyone who is not male, white and straight) a dead chimpanzee and a cop holding a smoking gun, saying “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”
Anyone who claims this is not a racist cartoon, obviously has no knowledge of American history or is lying.
St. Petersburg Times media critic Eric Deggans tells NPR’s Michele Norris that the conservative-leaning Post is “willfully ignoring” what may have caused the uproar.
…
But he says an important question is whether there was anyone at the newspaper who said, “There might be a connection here between a chimpanzee and a black person,” Deggans says.
“If there wasn’t somebody in that chain who raised this issue, that’s disturbing because frankly it’s an association that’s pretty easy to see,” Deggans says. “And if the notion was raised, and they printed it anyway, that’s even more disturbing. I mean, this is a newspaper that has had a long history of tangled and trouble racial relations.”
I am not giving a link to the so called newspaper and the cartoon, because I won’t perpetuate the paper’s continuation. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, the sooner the Post goes out of business, the better.
Don't buy this paper
I got tired of the darkness of the original theme (black and red), and just could not get used to the greenish theme, so I’m trying out this one. It has been a year since this blog was started, so I think some change is in order. This theme also comes with the ability to change the image at the top to one of my own choosing. It’s called Rubric.
Obama has failed because he didn’t get the Republicans to help out!!!???
- Loser: McCain
This from the loser of the general election.

And what does it have to do with Sarah Palin?
…the Alaskan Independence Party. Putting plunder above patriotism, the members of this treasonous cabal aim to break our country into pieces and walk away with Alaska’s rich federal oil fields and one-fifth of Americas land base–an area three-fourths the size of the Civil War Confederacy.
AIPs charter commits the party “to the ultimate independence of Alaska,” from the United States which it refers to as “the colonial bureaucracy in Washington.” It proclaims Alaska’s 1959 induction as a state “as illegal and in violation of the United Nations charter and international law.”
This is from an article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over at the Huffington Post. Apparently, Palin’s husband was a member until very recently, and Palin herself still has strong ties to it.
Palin’s husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a “fellow traveler.” While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP’s 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP’s 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP’s 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year’s 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!
AIP was founded by a man named Joe Vogler who said, “I’m an Alaskan, not an American, I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
Apparently, Palin doen’t see the same America as you and me.
