VIDEO: ALVIN GREENE SPEAKS TO NAACP

To think that a photo of a woman sitting on the lap of Gary Hart sunk his candidacy just over twenty years ago. Is this how far we've fallen? The fact that a huge swath of South Carolinians pulled the lever for Alvin Greene in the South Carolina primary because his name reminded them of the 1970's singer notwithstanding, there are actually people out there cheering for this man; that is the much bigger indictment of South Carolina democrats.

I've never heard the notion that South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint is keeping the country hostage until I heard Greene say it in this clip. Jim DeMint is keeping the country hostage, Alvin? Really? Then he repeats ad-nausea um that 125,000 jobs have been lost across the country. Uh, Alvin, take a look around at who is in the majority in congress and who controls the executive branch.

The money quote? "..most people that travel to South Carolina, get here by vehicle."

Wow.



Oh, and just for some context, here's that priceless interview between Fox's Shepard Smith and the young lady who accused Greene of forcing pornography on her.



Just because it's once again relevant, here is who South Carolina democrats thought they were voting for.....

TEA PARTY LEADERSHIP DENOUNCED RACISM.....THREE MONTHS AGO

Despite not making it available to the general public, the NAACP has issued a resolution calling for the Tea Party movement's leadership to denounce any and all racism from its ranks. Uh, thanks to this interview between Geraldo Rivera and Niger Innis, the NAACP is about three months late. A letter written and signed by over a dozen tea party group leaders, making up the National Tea Party Federation is dated April 24th, 2010.

Watch Innis hold it up on Geraldo for all to see.

HERE is the letter. It was posted on Big Government back on April 26th. Perhaps the NAACP should check this stuff out before it starts poppin' off. It'd be nice if the NAACP came out publicly against Rod Blagojevich for referring to Jesse Jackson Jr. as an "Uber-African-American" countless times on the recordings played during his trial. Then again, that trial - and the facts - are very unkind to Jesse Jackson Jr. But I digress.

NAACP / TEA PARTY TEA SUMMIT - OH, BROTHER

Has the Tea Party learned nothing? The victor in the Henry Louis Gates saga between he and police officer James Crowley was Crowley himself. The infamous beer summit at the White House only transpired because the Cambridge cop refused to apologize. When Gates and Obama realized that Crowley was sticking to his guns, they went into defense mode. The result was the beer summit. By and large, the only time things like this happen are when one side cries uncle.

Crowley agreed to the summit because when the White House calls, you generally honor the request but make no mistake, the entire episode was an attempt by the losers (Obama and Gates) to call a draw. The longer Crowley went without giving in, the uglier things got for Obama and Gates.

The same thing appears to be happening between the Tea Party and the NAACP. The problem is that the Tea Party is the group calling for the summit. Via Fox Philly:

A leader of the Tea Party called Sunday for a sequel to last summer's "beer summit," proposing a national "tea summit" to ease tensions over race in America.

In the latest face-off between the conservative political movement and the NAACP on CBS's "Face the Nation" program, TeaParty365 co-founder David Webb accused the head of the NAACP of practicing "selective racism" in calling on the Tea Party to denounce members that use racist language.

Again, remember, it was Obama who called the beer summit last year. He did so because he was in a no-win situation. The longer Crowley stood his ground, the more ground Obama lost.

It's very simple. Gates demanded an apology from Crowley. Crowley refused quite publicly. Rather than push it, Gates and Obama gave in. I'm afraid this effort on the part of the Tea Party is putting them in the wrong company.

EXPLOSIVE: THIS IS WHY SPY SCANDAL IS IMPORTANT

With countless stories in the news these days, the Russian spy scandal never really got much of my attention. It was played down in the media and made to look like these were low level players that didn't rise to the level necessary to warrant national concern. However, Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival has been writing about some very interesting aspects to the story that most don't know about. There's of course the matter of the United States coughing up 10 captured spies in return for 4 but what about how quickly the whole story - and spies - virtually disappeared?

Interestingly, there were apparently rather lucrative business deals in the works between the U.S. and Russia as well as individuals within the Obama administration who were targets of the espionage: Via USA Survival:

It is certainly the case that a continuing spy scandal threatened to undermine U.S.-Russia business “opportunities” and “cooperation.” It is also true that there is evidence that the Russian agents targeted the Obama Administration and former Clinton Administration officials.

Getting practically zero mention in the media has been the intent of the spies that were captured here in the United States and what they were actually doing. It turns out that nuclear weapons programs were of great interest:

Documents in the scandal demonstrate, as we have reported, that the Russian intelligence service, the SVR, was interested in penetrating “think tanks” with influence over U.S. foreign policy The SVR, the successor to the KGB, was especially interested in nuclear weapons-related information.

What we do know, based on public reports, is that one Russian agent had a job at Microsoft, another had been trying to cultivate a fundraiser for and friend of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and another had claimed contacts with a Clinton Administration official by the name of Leon Fuerth, who had been Vice President Al Gore’s top national security aide.

So we quickly found out that top Obama and Democratic Party officials had been targeted in this intelligence operation. Is this why the scandal had to go away?

The real meat of the story may just involve a delegation led by Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) in 2005. Bellona reported at the time that members of Lugar's delegation were detained in Russia for three hours before their plane was allowed to depart for the Ukraine. Permission to take off was only granted after every member showed their passports. One of the people in Lugar's delegation?

Barack Hussein Obama. This could actually mean that Russian authorities may be more familiar with Obama's passport than are U.S. Authorities. If there is anything untoward about the president's passport, it would seem the Russians would have a degree of leverage to get what they wanted - say, a 10-4 swap?

On a related note, Kincaid has been suspicious of political shock radio talker, Alex Jones for some time as have I but the facts continue to point to him being someone other than who he claims to be. Click HERE to see how Alex Jones responded to the spy scandal.
