Clayton Lockett Botched Execution

Hey, props to Oklahoma whose officials will almost single handedly ensure that the death penalty is finally ruled cruel and unusual.

This execution went so awry that officials tried to resuscitate Lockett.

Frankly, just bring back the firing squad. Damn.

At London's Daily Mail, "Killer dies of heart attack after twenty minutes of agony when Oklahoma experimental drug execution goes wrong. Second lethal injection postponed."

Also at the Tulsa World, "Execution botched before inmate dies of heart attack; second execution postponed":

Prison officials said they will try to get Lockett to hospital to resuscitate him.

He was conscious and blinking, licking his lips even after the process began. He then began to seize.

At 6:33 the doctor said Lockett was unconscious and then at 6:34 Lockett began to nod, mumble move body.

If the scumbag Oklahoma murderer died, how was the execution "botched" - Seems like a success to me

— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) April 30, 2014

McALESTER -- The execution of convicted killer Clayton Lockett was botched tonight at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary before he died of a massive heart attack. The event prompted officials to postpone a second execution scheduled for two hours later.
Lockett was given execution drugs and reacted violently, kicking and grimacing while lifting his head off the gurney to which he was strapped. He was pronounced dead at 7:06 p.m. inside the execution chamber -- 43 minutes after the process began -- Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton said.

In a media conference, Patton said Lockett's veins "exploded" during the execution, which began at 6:23 p.m. The inmate died from what Patton called a "massive heart attack." The death occurred after the execution process was halted.

Convicted killer Charles Warner was scheduled to be executed at 8 p.m. Patton said he notified the governor's office and the attorney general's office about the events and asked for a 14-day delay of Warner's execution, which was scheduled for 8 p.m.
Gov. Mary Fallin issued a statement tonight saying she had issued an executive order delaying Warner's execution for 14 days.

“I have asked the Department of Corrections to conduct a full review of Oklahoma’s execution procedures to determine what happened and why during this evening’s execution of Clayton Derrell Lockett,” Fallin said in the statement. “I have issued an executive order delaying the execution of Charles Frederick Warner for 14 days to allow for that review to be completed.”

Tonight's executions were to be the first in Oklahoma using a new three-drug cocktail of vecuronium bromide, midazolam and potassium chloride.

Lockett had no last words as the execution began. Sixteen minutes after it started, OSP Warden Anita Trammell said: “We’re going to lower the blinds temporarily.” A doctor in the chamber went to Lockett’s right arm and lifted the sheet, apparently checking his vein where a tube had been inserted.

Patton left the room for several minutes and was on the phone. Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Thompson then left the observation area to take a phone call from the line inside the execution chamber.

When Patton returned to the observation room, he said: “We’ve had a vein failure in which the chemicals did not make it into the offender. Under my authority, we’re issuing a stay for the second execution.”

Amazing.

Leftist demands for more "humane" executions ends up bringing about more inhumanity --- and, ultimately, a further erosion of public support for capital punishment.

There's gotta be some Alinskyite angle in here somewhere. Man, those criminal-coddling progs are good!

Liberal Racist Donald Sterling: 'The man who poisoned the Los Angeles Clippers for nearly 30 years with his ignorance and hate has at last been dragged away into sweet oblivion...'

From Bill Plaschke, at the Los Angeles Times, "Bill Plaschke: NBA makes the right move regarding Donald Sterling":

Call it the most spectacular slam dunk in professional basketball history.

With one dazzling, devastating move, the NBA has thrown down against evil.

Thankfully, finally, Donald Sterling is done.

The man who poisoned the Los Angeles Clippers for nearly 30 years with his ignorance and hate has at last been dragged away into sweet oblivion.

Four days after the release of audiotapes on which Sterling is heard making racist comments, the NBA has banned the Clippers owner for life.

“We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling’s views,’’ said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday morning. “They simply have no place in the NBA.’’

Sterling was also fined the maximum $2.5 million, but, for the eccentric billionaire who viewed his team as a way to be accepted among his social circle, the lost money is nothing compared with his lost status.

No longer can he sit at courtside with his chest puffed out. No longer can he entertain friends in the press room after games. No longer can he go into the locker room and lead the team in awkward cheers.

The lifetime ban essentially takes away every reason that Donald Sterling has for owning the team, which would seem to make it another slam dunk that he would sell it.

But not so fast. Even in a decision that was celebrated by players and owners alike, there is a loophole...

More.

Thirty years of leftist, Democrat-supporting hate and ignorance.

Nonprofit Fundraising Groups Promoting Inequality at Newport-Mesa Unified School District

If you listened to Shanta Driver's comments on Sunday, much of her argument for affirmative action rests on the idea that K-12 education is "segregated" and inherently unequal for students of color. Nowhere have I heard her distinguish between de jure and de facto segregation (she can't because to do so would drain the emotionalism right out of her arguments), although if she had any intellectual credibility she might discuss the real ways in which de facto patterns of racial imbalance create economic differences among students in public education.

I've been worried about these problems for a long time. I teach lots of students who come from majority-minority public schools (a real problem in Long Beach), and it's just one more factor that explains their inadequate academic preparation and difficulties in achieving student success. (This is, in fact, the main problem facing my college as an institution, but as noted the cause is not just de facto school segregation).

In any case, a fascinating example that I've been closely familiar with for a long time is the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Newport Beach is one of the most affluent cities in the state, in not the country. And right next door is Costa Mesa, a nice city, very beautiful, but extremely diverse and a longtime magnet for recent immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. I often refer to it as the O.C.'s "Little Santa Ana."

Sunday's Costa Mesa Daily Pilot ran a great front-page report on this, "Unintended consequence of foundation groups: inequality":

The median income in Newport Beach hovered around $109,677, according to U.S. Census data collected between 2008 and 2012, whereas it was $65,373 in Costa Mesa for the same time period.

In Newport-Mesa Unified, there are 13 foundations serving schools on an individual level. Out of the 20 schools in Costa Mesa, there are four foundations serving Costa Mesa Middle School and High School, TeWinkle Middle School and Estancia High School, Kaiser Elementary and Woodland Elementary, and California Elementary. The nonprofits raised about $484,000 in 2012, according to tax forms.

There are nine foundations serving the 12 schools in Newport Beach. In all, they raised about $3.6 million in 2012, according to the organizations' tax forms.

The only group that funds all of the district's schools is the Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation, which provides money to individual teachers through a grant program, said Barbara Harrington, president of the Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation.

In 2012, the organization raised slightly more than $1 million, according to tax forms.

When the Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation was first formed in the 1980s, it raised money to provide services like extra music teachers and instruments for schools, similar to how current foundations operate at individual campuses, Harrington said.

However, more-affluent communities became upset that they were raising money for teachers on the poorer side of town, she said. In response, the organization changed the way it operates.

"If you try to equalize it, and people see that more money is coming from the Eastside and funding the poorer areas, you'd find that people on the Eastside wouldn't give as much the next year," she said.

While the pockets may not be as deep in some Costa Mesa schools compared with Newport Beach communities, student education doesn't suffer, DeVusser said.

"We don't have a foundation that sits behind us and asks us what we need," he said. "We do have incredible teachers that work every day to make sure kids are receiving a quality education, regardless of where they live."

The Costa Mesa High School Foundation has been expanding in recent years in order to access more donors and be comparable to other foundations in more-affluent areas, said Foundation President and Newport-Mesa Board Trustee Katrina Foley.

Foundations have proven to help schools deal with education cutbacks handed down from the state in recent years, she said.

"Foundations should come in and pay for the extras," she said. "We need to get back to that."

So, while you can see the clear disparities in economic resources between the Newport Beach schools and those of Costa Mesa, the fact remains that even if spending were 100 percent equal on all the money raised by the nonprofits, educational performance among the Newport Beach students would far surpass the performance of kids in Costa Mesa schools. The reasons for this are found in the intangible factors that regressive leftists refuse to talk about. Things like the breakdown of the family in minority communities, illiteracy (particularly among poorer minority families and recent immigrant children), and cultural disadvantages that have longstanding bases in the natural dynamics of social strata in American society. Very little of these things can be changed by equalizing funding. Change has to come about through larger public policies that strengthen families and communities among very traditional and conservative lines. In a word, "values" matter. There will be little improvement in educational outcomes among the disadvantaged until regressive leftists stop blaming "structural inequality," "racism," and "white privilege," and start building families and communities from the bottom up, along the lines of upward mobility that have marked successful ethnic groups throughout American history.

Secretary of State John Kerry Excoriated for Israel 'Apartheid' Slur

Wow.

It's all over the place. Democrats, leftists, Beverly Hills liberals: It's just hate, hate, hate. Nonstop hate.

At the Daily Beast, "Exclusive: Kerry Warns Israel Could Become ‘An Apartheid State’."

Also from Erika Johnsen, at Hot Air, "Ted Cruz: John Kerry should resign over that “apartheid” comment."

A bunch of Democrats have even condemned Secretary Lurch.

See especially Jonathan Tobin, at Commentary, "Kerry’s Apartheid Slur Sabotages Peace":

Last Friday while speaking to a closed meeting of the Trilateral Commission, Secretary of State John Kerry raised the ante in his bid to keep his Middle East peace initiative alive. While lamenting the latest collapse of the talks, Kerry cast blame for the outcome on both Israel and the Palestinians but made it clear that the consequences for the former would be far more serious. In the recording of his comments, which was obtained by the Daily Beast, Kerry not only repeated his past warnings that if peace wasn’t reached Israel would be faced with a new round of violence from the Palestinians as well as increased boycott efforts. He went further and said that the alternative to an Israeli acceptance of a two-state solution was that it would become “an apartheid state.”

In doing so, Kerry exploded the notion that he is an evenhanded broker since he is, as he has done previously, effectively rationalizing, if not justifying the next intifada as well as the continued efforts of the BDS—boycott, divest, sanction—movement against Israel. The point here is that if the maintenance of the status quo will make Israel an apartheid state, then it must already be one. Given the odious nature of such a regime, that would not only justify the boycotts but also violence on the part of the Palestinians against Israel...

Keep reading.

But seriously. Democrat Party racism and eliminationism goes right to the top. Mindboggling.

'No More Mister' Hat-Trick! Donald Douglas 'Doesn't List Sterling's Donations to Liberal Causes' OMG! LOL! BLARGH!!!

Okay, sure, I didn't actually enumerate the far-left causes to which racist liberal Donald Sterling has made contributions. But ahem, it's a bit much to blatantly deny that Sterling's an institution of L.A.'s westside liberalism, but 'No More Mister' gives it the old college try.

This is the modern right's biggest problem in microcosm.

We had this over the weekend in a National Review post originally titled "Racist Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Is a Democrat":

At the American Power blog, Donald Douglas has an extended discussion of Sterling's donations to liberal causes and the left-leaning commentators who have lauded him in the past.

Actually, that's not what's in Douglas's post -- that's what he says is in it, but the content doesn't match the description. Douglas quotes a deeply skeptical article about Sterling from the L.A. Times, an opinion piece by Earl Ofari Hutchinson urging the NAACP not to give Sterling an award, and a Sports Illustrated story that finds Sterling throwing lavish parties and stiffing a charity. There are no "left-leaning commentators who have lauded him in the past." And Douglas's post doesn't list Sterling's donations to liberal causes, apart from the references to the NAACP...

No kidding! No "left-leaning commentators"!! Oh no doubt! All the Beverly Hills liberals he's hanging out with 24/7 at all those foundation galas just can't stand Donald Sterling holla!

And no "liberal" causes?

Oh, hey Steve M, you mean "no liberal causes" like the ballot initiatives sponsored by the far-left Humane Society of the United States? You know, like California's Prop. 2, which passed at the ballot box in 2008? Would that be "liberal" enough?

#NBA Expected to Fine and Suspend Racist Beverly Hills Liberal Donald Sterling

Sterling's eventually gonna go the Marge Schott route. It's only a matter of time.

It's like Charles Barkley said: It's a "black league."

What can I say? Couldn't happen to a more classic West Los Angeles liberal.

At LAT, "Table set for NBA action on Sterling as sponsors flee":

A stream of sponsors cut ties with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Mayor Eric Garcetti called for the harshest possible punishment Monday as NBA Commissioner Adam Silver prepared to announce the results of his investigation into remarks about blacks attributed to team owner Donald Sterling.

Sterling's purported comments were widely condemned, and the commissioner, after three months as leader of the 30-team league, confronts one of the most unsettling crises the NBA has faced in recent years.

Although NBA bylaws give the pro basketball league the power to oust owners in limited circumstances, experts said Silver would more likely hit the Clippers' owner with a sizable fine and a lengthy suspension, perhaps with the intent of pressuring the real estate magnate into selling the franchise he has owned for 33 years.

"He'll tell Sterling, 'If you choose to stay, I won't let you go to any games,' " predicted Andrew Zimbalist, a Smith College economics professor and a former consultant to the NBA players association. "'I won't let you make any personnel decisions. I won't let you communicate with the general manager, hire anybody in the front office, or talk to the media. You could do that, or sell the team … and walk away with a $700-million capital gain.' "

Sterling paid $12 million in 1981 for the team in San Diego and three years later moved the Clippers to Los Angeles. Years of losing would ensue, but the team's fortunes and value have risen precipitously in the last few years. Forbes magazine recently valued the team at $575 million, though some in the sports world think the franchise could sell for as much as $700 million.

The websites TMZ and Deadspin posted audio recordings over the weekend of a man they identified as Sterling chastising a female friend for making public her association with blacks. The conversation took place after the woman, V. Stiviano, posted an Instagram photo of herself posing with Lakers great Magic Johnson.

On Monday, 15 Clippers advertisers said they have terminated or suspended their sponsorship, although most expressed their continued support for the team's players, coaches and fans...

Desperate Leftists: Beverly Hills Liberal Donald Sterling Is 'Registered Republican' OMG! TAKE THAT!! BLARGH!! OMG!!!

OMG this is hilarious!

Desperate, depraved and deluded leftists have "proved" that racist Democrat Donald Sterling's actually a "registered Republican."

And how do we know? Well, for one thing idiot leftists have been swarming my Twitter feed today, attempting to flay me with OMG! RACIST!! REPUBLICAN!!! taunting neener-neener tweets for hours.

Here's the big "gotcha" post from some brainless leftist at Mother Jones, "Donald Sterling Is a Registered Republican." If you follow the links, you can go to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters and plug in Sterling's information --- and up pops search results that claim the Clippers owner is a "registered Republican"!!

Who knows what party he's registered with, really? Maybe he registered Republican when he was depressed a few years and never punched a single ticket for a GOP candidate? He's had loads of legal and marital problems. He's been sued for his Democrat "plantation style" racism before. And only changed his registration to Republican in 2008? Maybe the far-left Democrat primaries that year --- with all the attendant collectivist, confiscatory socialist proposals --- freaked him out like he was going to lose his assets.

Whatever. That fact is, as I've been saying for days now, Sterling's a dyed-in-the-wool far-left Beverly Hills liberal of the first order. All --- and I mean all --- of his political campaign finance contributions have been to Democrat candidates, and not just "25 years ago" like the loser leftists are screaming until the cows come home.

Indeed, Jaime Fuller at the Washington Post, has a beautiful rundown of Sterling's political giving to far-left Democrats and liberal environmental causes:

Although Sterling is a registered Republican he has supported Democratic candidates in the past. He gave $5,000 to Gray Davis' gubernatorial campaign in 2002, and $1,000 in support of a group pushing for Proposition 2 in 2008, which sought to give farm animals larger living quarters. He gave another $1,000 to Davis in 1991, a year when he also gave $1,000 to Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy. In 1989, he gave $2,000 to former basketball player and Democratic senator from New Jersey Bill Bradley. If Republicans wanted to go really deep, they could also mention that Sterling attended the wedding of Jeff Greene in 2007, who ran in the 2010 Democratic Senate primaries in Florida -- to disastrous result.

In 2009, the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP gave Sterling a Lifetime Achievement Award, and he won the NAACP Presidents Award in 2008. His 2009 award coincided with Baylor's lawsuit. The NAACP chapter's president told the Los Angeles Times, "We can't speak to the allegations, but what we do know is that for the most part [Sterling] has been very, very kind to the minority youth community." He was scheduled to receive another Lifetime Achievement Award this week, but the chapter changed its mind.

Typically, WaPo's Fuller draws unsubstantiated conclusions when she closes by arguing, "What does all of this say about Sterling's political affiliation?"

Actually, we can say a lot about Sterling's "political affiliation" from the information she's provided. I mean, seriously. Sterling gave "$1,000 in support of a group pushing for Proposition 2 in 2008"?

Right. Well, according to Ballotpedia, "Proposition 2, or the Standards for Confining Farm Animals, was on the November 4, 2008 ballot in California as an initiated state statute, where it was approved."

Oh, Prop. 2 was on the ballot in November 2008, six months after Sterling supposedly registered for the "Republican" primary? Again, Sterling was probably depressed and registered in the GOP primary without a second thought. But when it comes to making political donations, well money talks, as they say. And what "group" did Sterling support with that $1000 contribution? Fuller doesn't say, but Ballotpedia lists Proposition 2's major sponsors, which lists like a who's who of far-left interest group organizations:

The YES! on Prop 2 campaign was run by Californians for Humane Farms, sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States, Farm Sanctuary, and other animal protection groups, family farmers, veterinarians and public health professionals.

Joe Ramsey was the official sponsor of the initiative. In addition to humane societies and animal welfare groups, the measure was also backed by the California Veterinary Medical Association, the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Consumer Federation of America, Clean Water Action, the Sierra Club, the United Farm Workers, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Proposition 2 was also endorsed by several politicians, including the California Democratic Party and U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Jennifer Fearing was the campaign manager for the "Yes on Prop 2" campaign...

OMG! totally Republican or something!!

Radical leftist Jennifer Fearing is the California Senior State Director for the Humane Society of the United States. And here's the list of Prop. 2's far-left supporters, including the California Democrat Party.

But TOTALLY MAN! Donald Sterling is really a "registered Republican" OMG!! BLARGH! RACIST!!!

In Search of Vladimir Putin's Secret Fortune — #Russia

Now, this is interesting.

At NYT's front-page yesterday, "Sanctions Revive Search for Secret Putin Fortune":

WASHINGTON — When the Obama administration imposed sanctions on individual Russians last month in response to Moscow’s armed intervention in Ukraine, one of the targets was a longtime part-owner of a commodities trading company called the Gunvor Group.

His name, Gennady N. Timchenko, meant little to most Americans, but buried in the Treasury Department announcement were a dozen words that President Obama and his team knew would not escape the attention of Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin. “Putin,” the statement said, “has investments in Gunvor and may have access to Gunvor funds.”

For years, the suspicion that Mr. Putin has a secret fortune has intrigued scholars, industry analysts, opposition figures, journalists and intelligence agencies but defied their efforts to uncover it. Numbers are thrown around suggesting that Mr. Putin may control $40 billion or even $70 billion, in theory making him the richest head of state in world history.

Government troops outside Slovyansk on Saturday. The army is weak, but Ukraine has a history of partisans’ attacking invaders.News Analysis: For Russia, Negatives Seem to Outweigh Positives of an InvasionAPRIL 26, 2014
For all the rumors and speculation, though, there has been little if any hard evidence, and Gunvor has adamantly denied any financial ties to Mr. Putin and repeated that denial on Friday.

But Mr. Obama’s response to the Ukraine crisis, while derided by critics as slow and weak, has reinvigorated a 15-year global hunt for Mr. Putin’s hidden wealth.

Now, as the Obama administration prepares to announce another round of sanctions as early as Monday targeting Russians it considers part of Mr. Putin’s financial circle, it is sending a not-very-subtle message that it thinks it knows where the Russian leader has his money, and that he could ultimately be targeted directly or indirectly.

“It’s something that could be done that would send a very clear signal of taking the gloves off and not just dance around it,” said Juan C. Zarate, a White House counterterrorism adviser to President George W. Bush who helped pioneer the government’s modern financial campaign techniques to choke off terrorist money....

Well, let's hope Treasury locates Putin's riches. The White House needs something --- anything! --- on which to claim some foreign policy successes.

See, "Sad Little 'No More Mister': Cliven Bundy OMG! RACISM! KKK!! NOT A THROWBACK!! BLARGH!!! OMG!!!"

Typically, though, Lemieux just buries his face in the muck, happy to be stroked by the racist commenters inhabiting the swamp at LGM. I'd say my commenter, Tabitha Bliss, pretty much nails it:

I'm having a good time watching the left twist itself into knots trying their darndest to make this guy out to be some kind of right wing, TEA Party conservative! Even Obama is trying to frame the story that way!

Of course conservatives aren't surprised to hear liberals spew such vileness in the least. We've heard it all before. I think what still does shock us is the total hypocrisy of the leftist movement in general.

I mean these people are still having a total melt-down over Bundy's (poorly stated) comments, but let's put things in perspective here. Compare & contrast the statements made by the two men & what is & what is not real bigotry & hatred becomes obvious!

Very well said.

Bundy's no hero at this point, but certainly his comments amounted to at most an inarticulate effort to make the case on longstanding government and Democrat indifference to the plight of black Americans. And it's widely understood that the black family as an institution is worse off today than at any time since the Civil War. Indeed, leftists are all about context, although in Bundy's case his very compassionate statements on Hispanic families have been completely swept under the rug. So yeah, despicable leftist hypocrisy all around.

This is why I push back hard against the lying leftists losers. Fortunately, I've been able to get a little traction of late, but the battle is never over. Keep smacking down leftist liars at every turn. They never stop. They're ruthless and will do anything to destroy people of decency who are thought to stand in their way.

You know, I'm just tickled all over how leftists back themselves into a corner when calling out #TCOTs as racist, lol!

Clippers Protest #Democrat Donald Sterling by Wearing Shirts Inside-Out for Warm-Ups

At CBS Los Angeles, "Clippers Turn Shirts Inside-Out In Silent Protest Against Sterling."

And at the New York Times, "With Uproar Around Sterling, Clippers Take the Court":

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Los Angeles Clippers, finding themselves embroiled in controversy surrounding racist remarks attributed to the team’s owner, took the court for their playoff game Sunday with a statement, both fashion and political. In sartorial signs of solidarity, players wore their shirts inside out during warm-ups, and each wore black socks and black wristbands during the game.

The owner’s wife sat courtside, across from the Clippers’ bench, with her husband barred from attending while the N.B.A. investigates the matter. She wore all black.

The recordings of the remarks, apparently made by Donald Sterling, the Clippers’ owner, bounced around the globe on Sunday like viral aftershocks, rattling the league’s leadership, overshadowing its playoff games and even receiving the attention of President Obama in Malaysia.

But the epicenter was at Oracle Arena, where the Clippers played the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series. The teams are closely matched rivals, and although there were no clear signs that the crowd’s enthusiasm and voracity had anything to do with Sterling, the story line certainly provided a boost to the energy and intrigue.

The remarks struck a nerve in the N.B.A., in which the majority of players are black and the majority of owners are white. That the controversy should involve a team based in Los Angeles, a diverse city with its own history of race-relation problems but one that has long revered black athletes, only added a layer of complex context.

As the Clippers’ players quietly went through their usual pregame routine of stretching and relaxing, trying to make the unusual circumstances feel normal, their coach stepped into a warm and crowded room. Over seven minutes, he answered 13 questions about the racist comments attributed to Sterling.

“Racism, injustice of any kind, it should always be front and center, and we should never run from it,” the Clippers’ coach, Doc Rivers, said. “I think we all do a good job running from it. You should never run from it. You should confront it and try to do your best to handle it. I think we are doing our best right now in this case by trying to do that.”

In a meeting on Saturday, the team considered all its options, from ignoring the comments to boycotting the game, as some suggested.

“Our message is to play,” Rivers said. “Our message is that we’re going to let no one and nothing stop us from what we want to do. And I think that’s a good message.”

Also, at the Lede, "Reaction to the Remarks Linked to Donald Sterling."

But oh, he couldn't let go, lol! He restored his lame attack in his updated post --- the one that doesn't have DONALD DOUGLAS!! in all caps screaming at you with authoritah! --- hoping that I'd get my widdle feelings hurt.

Man, what a sad little blog is No More Mister, catering to a sad little community of hateful, racist left-wing trolls. Steve M. desperately wants Democrat Party racism to go away. He's so desperate that he posts unhinged rants without even proofreading, pulls 'em after being called out (by his own commenters even!), and then gets all butthurt and reposts the stupid drivel in an update --- to get back at that old meanie DONALD DOUGLAS waaahhhh!!

My 12-year-old is more mature, heh.

But OMG! Republican racism OMG!

Here's his latest hilarious rant on how Cliven Bundy's "ideology" is all KKK and totally not a throwback or anything OMG! ...

[South Carolina Lieutenant Governor and Cliven Bundy clone] Glenn McConnell's thriving career is a reminder to me of why I automatically tune out any argument that contains the phrase "political correctness." I grant that there are things you simply "can't say," according to America's "official culture." But outside America's political and media centers, these "incorrect" ideas are loving cultivated, valorized, and carefully transmitted to future generations. That's why there are still Klansmen and neo-Nazis. That's why well-educated young men still think sexual penetration after the administration of Rohypnol or a few too many drinks is perfectly OK. That's why Silicon Valley and Internet comments sections are still hotbeds of virulent sexism. And so on. Cliven Bundy isn't a throwback. He's just a guy whose ideology usually flies under the radar. We just ignore the precincts where that ideology thrives.

Oh, the poor precious widdle weftists. 'Cuz hatefwul conservatives are all about roofies, or something lol!!

BONUS: At the risk of shattering Steve M's tender pwogwessive sensibilities, you gotta check this out --- and love it too. Turns out my post from yesterday got picked up by Tim Cavanaugh at National Review, with the hilariously accurate headline, "Racist Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Is a Democrat."

All Democrats are racists. It is the foundation of the Democratic party. Keeping blacks in poverty is just an extension of when Democrats founded the KKK and opposed all civil rights acts the Republicans were trying to enact.

Jennifer Gratz Kills It Against Bitter BAMN National Chairperson with Civility and Kindness!

I called out the ugly race-baiting BAMN organization this week, "Far-Left BAMN Coalition Attacks Supreme Court's Schuette Decision as 'Racist'."

The founder and national chairwoman is Shanta Driver, a bitter, bitchy collectivist leftist attacking people as racists for wanting to remove pernicious racial preferences from the public realm. People like this are the antithesis of MLK's "content of their character" admonition, and they're frankly disgusting, covetous collectivists now rending the country at the seams.

But Ms. Gratz stays gracious and on point, and in so doing show how principled articulate conservatism with beat back vicious leftist ideological hatred every time.

Bravo!

— Donald Douglas (@AmPowerBlog) April 27, 2014

And from the BAMN profile at Discover the Networks:

BAMN employs an "ends-justifies-the-means" approach that, according to American Civil Rights Institute founder Ward Connerly, is reminiscent of the tactics advocated by the late community organizer Saul Alinsky. In Arizona in 2008, for example, BAMN activists tried to buy lists of signatures that had been collected by anti-affirmative-action petitioners—so as to prevent those names from being submitted to state legislators.

Many of BAMN's pro-affirmative action efforts are conducted collaboratively with such organizations as the NAACP, the ACLU, ACORN, and the Service Employees International Union. In BAMN's calculus, “attacks on affirmative action” can be attributed largely to a virulent brand of “smothering and deforming racism” that seeks to promote “a system of de facto segregation” in which “undocumented and immigrant students from less privileged communities” are “almost entirely shut out of [the] most selective public universities.”

Central to BAMN's pro-affirmative action crusade is its effort to eliminate the use of the SAT exam by university admissions departments, on grounds that the test is “biased” and “academically unsound.” On average, whites nationwide score about 200 points higher than their black counterparts—a fact that, according to BAMN, merely reflects “the complex racism and inequality of our society.”

Also active in the immigrant-rights movement, BAMN advocates the passage of a national DREAM Act which would allow illegal-alien students to attend college at the reduced tuition rates normally reserved for in-state legal residents, and to earn conditional permanent residency and a path to citizenship. Moreover, the organization seeks to ban “anti-immigrant raids” at workplaces; stop the deportation of illegals;
 make California a "sanctuary" state wherein illegal aliens are beyond the reach of the law; and repeal Arizona’s “racist” 2010 immigration law, which deputized state police to verify the immigration status of criminals suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. In the spring of 2006, BAMN helped lead the massive wave of immigrant-rights rallies that swept across the United States.

Consistent with BAMN's view that racism pervades American society, is the group's contention that the U.S. criminal-justice system egregiously discriminates against nonwhite minorities. To address this issue, BAMN has called for a “mass movement against police brutality.”

BAMN also seeks to “defend public education”—from the pre-K through college levels—by demanding an end to all tuition hikes, school-budget cutbacks, and teacher layoffs. Accusing “the rich and powerful” of seeking to use “the economic crisis” as a pretext for shirking their duty to pay school taxes, BAMN in 2010 called for any shortfalls in education budgets to be funded by “taxing the corporations, banks, and billionaires.” Additional revenue, said BAMN, could be generated by “end[ing] the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan,” because “you cannot end racism at home while fighting a racist war abroad.”

Typical Alinskyite radicals. Disgusting, bitter people who'll stop and nothing to ram through their hateful agenda.

Jenny Beth Martin Makes More the $450,000 Annually as National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots!

I read this story last night on my iPhone, but I'm just gobsmacked at the salary Jenny Beth Martin's taking in. The anti-establishment basis of the tea party is one of its enduring strengths that take it beyond partisanship toward good government. But five years on, this story blows up the notion that the tea party is an outside insurgent force against entrenched political interests. And sadly, it says a lot about Jenny Beth Martin. She cashed in.

See, "Tea party PACs reap money for midterms, but spend little on candidates":

The problem of Tea Party candidates being starved of donations by groups scamming their donors is real & serious http://t.co/NTxDJ7FUkx

MT @PeterHambyCNN: Jenny Beth Martin pays herself $450K/year, but Tea Party Patriots spent just $185K on candidates http://t.co/4QeQx0289L

— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) April 27, 2014

Martin, the super PAC’s chairwoman, oversees all its expenditures, according to Broughton, meaning she sets her own $15,000 monthly fee for strategic consulting — payments that have totaled $120,000 since July.

She also draws a salary as president of the Tea Party Patriots’ nonprofit arm — getting more than $272,000 in the 2012 fiscal year, according to the group’s most recent tax filing.

Her twin salaries put her on track to make more than $450,000 this year, a dramatic change in lifestyle for the tea party activist, who had filed for bankruptcy in 2008 and then cleaned homes for a period of time to bring in extra money.

Martin, through Broughton, declined to comment. But Broughton said Martin’s fees could not “objectively be considered unreasonable.”

“She works the equivalent of two full-time jobs,” Broughton said. “When I say she probably works 90 to 100 hours a week, that’s not an exaggeration.”

Nope. She's making too much money running an organization purportedly established to shrink government and restore liberty. So of course Ms. Martin declined to comment. Her salary figures are obscene.

Still more at that top link.

And it's not just Tea Party Patriots. See last year's piece at BuzzFeed, "Sources: Cash-Strapped FreedomWorks In State Of Financial Disarray."

'Game of Thrones' Rape Scene

I'm not a "Game of Thrones" fan, but I caught the replays of one of last week's episodes, which includes a pretty intense rape scene in it.

So I looked it up, and Reason has this, "Game of Thrones Rape Scene Provokes Mixed Messages From Feminists: The latest episode of Game of Thrones has touched off a raging debate that reveals cracks in feminist dogma about 'rape culture'":

Game of Thrones—the hit HBO series now in its fourth season and based on George R.R. Martin’s pseudo-medieval fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire—is big news. Every episode generates not only a tsunami of fan reaction but intense discussions by bloggers and journalists; the death of sadistic boy-king Joffrey may have made more headlines than Russia's attempted takeover of Eastern Ukraine. And now, the latest episode has touched off a raging debate that goes beyond the show itself to a very current real–life issue: defining rape and consent. (The New Republic alone had two online articles on the subject.) But this controversy has revealed a fascinating fact: A lot of feminists who rail against "rape culture" don’t actually practice the black-and-white, yes-or-no dogma that they preach—not even with regard to fiction...

Heh.

I'm just observing this from the sidelines. Like I said, I saw that show and thought that all the screams of "stop!" should have triggered some kind of feminist reaction, or something.

But it's not so simple, it turns out. Especially for radical feminists who like "Game of Thrones," lol.

Keep reading.

#NBA to Investigate Clippers Owner Donald Sterling's Racist Comments

At the New York Times, "N.B.A. Is Investigating Comments Attributed to Clippers’ Owner Donald Sterling."

Interesting is the quote from the Clippers' management essentially conceding the TMZ audiotape as authentic:

Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Under Investigation By The NBA After Allegedly Racist Comments http://t.co/KzgroGIWWG pic.twitter.com/9elQUx76TT
— BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) April 26, 2014

In the audio recording, a person identified by TMZ as Sterling can be heard chiding a former girlfriend, identified by the website as V. Stiviano, saying he was angry that she had posted a picture on her Instagram account of herself and Johnson.

“It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people,” Sterling is alleged to have said. He added later in the recording, referring to her Instagram postings, that “you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people.”

“Don’t put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don’t bring him to my games,” the person identified as Sterling also said. “Yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to promo, broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?”

Sterling’s wife sued Stiviano last month, asking for the return of cash, property, cars and other items that Sterling gave Stiviano.

The Clippers’ president, Andy Roeser, said in a statement Saturday that he was not certain whether the recording was authentic and that the club was investigating.

“Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect, his views, beliefs or feelings,” Roeser said in the statement. “It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life. He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologizes to anyone who might have been hurt by them.”

Liberal #Democrat Donald Sterling Caught on Tape Screaming Ugly Racist Epithets - UPDATED!!

UPDATE: Racist Donald Sterling is not a Democrat but a registered RINO.

This post is linked by Michael Hiltzik, at the Los Angeles Times, "Donald Sterling is a Republican, not a Democrat -- but does it matter?"

I have a response here, "Desperate Leftists: Beverly Hills Liberal Donald Sterling Is 'Registered Republican' OMG! TAKE THAT!! BLARGH!! OMG!!!":

The truth is that the racist Clippers owner is a classic, typically far-left liberal from L.A.'s typically progressive westside.

Desperate leftists can take that to the bank the idiot losers.

******

Amazing.

It's been almost like clockwork this last couple of weeks. Leftists got a squirrelly reprieve with the fake Cliven Bundy sideshow, but then the left gets back on track with their racist repertoire of hate. Seriously. It's too good. You just can't make up these far-left Democrat Party supporting leftists spewing vile racial epithets, all caught on tape. Clockwork baby.

I say it all the time: the Democrat Party is the country's natural home to racists and ethnic eliminationists. And now we have über liberal real estate mogul and sports owner, Democrat Party contributor and philanthropist, Donald T. Sterling in the news with yet another case of vile leftist racial hatred.

Here's the headline story at Memeorandum, "Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF - Don't Bring Black People to My Games, Including Magic Johnson" and on Twitter:

Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My Games ... Including Magic Johnson http://t.co/AtPwbjxHfA
— TMZ (@TMZ) April 26, 2014

And there's a YouTube clip at the Independent Journal Review, "Explosive Audio: L.A. Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Shows Us All What Truly Ugly Racism Sounds Like." As it notes there:

Just for the record, Sterling’s record of political support is for two Democratic politicians: former California Governor Gray Davis and three-term Senator Bill Bradley.

Of course! Sterling's a liberal leftist Democrat of the first order! Also here, "Follow the Money: Political Contributions of NBA Owners."

What's hilarious is none of this is new. Sterling's far-left racist bigotry has been on the public record for a long time. See this Los Angeles Times report from black liberal Los Angeles Times columnist Sandy Banks in 2010, "Donald Sterling is generous, impolitic and eager to be liked":

You can't flip through our newspaper these days without spotting the giant ads Sterling buys promoting his awards and donations, his smiling face plastered among a jumble of names and cut-and-paste photos.

I wangled an invitation because I wanted to meet him. I was curious about the man -- and the motives -- behind the generosity. Sterling has been dogged for years by claims that he's a bigot. Was this simple image repair or true redemption, I wondered.

Two months ago, Sterling settled a housing discrimination lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department for $2.7 million. Four years ago, he spent millions to settle a similar lawsuit brought by a fair housing group.

Both accused him of trying to exclude blacks, Latinos and families with children from renting apartments in buildings he owns.

Yet there he was last week playing Santa, handing out $1 million from his private charitable foundation to 10 high schools in South and East Los Angeles and 20 charities across Los Angeles County.

Like Skid Row's Para Los Niños, "another fabulous Hispanic charity in Boyle Heights, where I grew up," Sterling said.

And Roosevelt High, "with all the Hispanic kids," he said, "where nobody thought they could study and learn calculus until that teacher" -- Jaime Escalante -- came along.

Oops -- Escalante taught at Garfield High, which also received a Sterling grant.

And left-wing author and activist Earl Ofari Hutchinson, back in 2009, hammered Sterling's racism --- and took the NAACP to task for giving the Clippers owner a pass on his disgusting racist bigotry. See, "Put Donald T. Sterling's NAACP Award on Hold":

A Google search with the name Donald Sterling and racial discrimination found nearly 12,000 results. Not one of them even remotely had Sterling doing anything to further racial goodwill. The checklist of reported Sterling racial escapades include a Justice Department housing discrimination lawsuit and forced settlement, slurs and gaffes against Hispanics and African-Americans, and that includes two high profile Clipper players, the shooing of minorities away from his pricey Beverly Hills condos and rentals, and an overblown and failed promise to build a Homeless shelter on L.A.s skid row. Then there's the allegations and lawsuit by former Clipper General Manager Elgin Baylor that Sterling runs his operations like a Southern plantation.

The NAACP airbrushed this away and simply said that Sterling has been a gem in giving oodles of tickets away to needy inner city kids and ladling out some cash to charities and sports camps for them. How any of this ranks as a take the lead, storm the barriers battle against racial injustice is a mystery....

The issue is not what, whether or even if Sterling did anything to further the cause of racial justice and civil rights. He hasn't. The issue is what the NAACP is doing to further it.

While perhaps Ofari Hutchison's not persuaded that Sterling's done much in fact to help the black community, as LAT's Banks points out, the Clippers owner indeed has a long history of philanthropy for a litany of left-wing causes. Sports Illustrated, back in 2000, ran a major feature story on Sterling, critical of his success as an NBA owner but highlighting his liberal philanthropy, "Up And Down In Beverly Hills":

Many people believe that Sterling is playing a different game from the rest of the NBA owners. "I don't know how important winning is to Donald," says [Carl] Scheer, the team's general manager Scheer. "He seems more concerned mat his books are balanced, that he runs one of the few NBA franchises with no debt, that he can bring his friends to games." Those friends—a mix of Friars Clubbers and Merv Era celebs—show up en masse at Sterling's Malibu White Party, the extravagant tented barbecue-and-bubbly beach bash he often throws at his second home, a neo-Tudor oceanfront bungalow. The party is so named because guests are encouraged to dress all in white, as in The Great Gatsby. "Sterling's agenda is as much social as professional," says Los Angeles Times sportswriter Mark Heisler. "He loves the status that owning even a bad team confers."

He also enjoys the publicity he's received as a philanthropist. Southern California charities routinely fete Sterling as their Humanitarian of the Year. Since 1997, the title has been accorded him by the Vista Del Mar Orphanage, the Special Olympics, the Los Angeles Yeshiva, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation and the L.A. Police Historical Society. Not that every charity has found it easy to separate Sterling from his swag. Linda McCoy-Murray recognized that last summer when she phoned him to help sponsor a golf tournament in honor of her late husband, venerated L.A. Times sports columnist Jim Murray. Every pro franchise in California, according to McCoy-Murray had forked over at least $5,000 to her foundation, which provides journalism scholarships. Every pro franchise, that is, except the Clippers, which had memorialized Murray on the final page of last season's media guide. Sterling offered McCoy-Murray two season passes. "You know, that's wonderful," she remembers telling him. "but we're trying to endow a college scholarship fund. We could really use cash."

Sterling's a classic Beverly Hills-Hollywood schmoozer and left-wing philanthropist big shot, and the occasional leftist tight wad, heh.

Again, this is just one more case of leftist racism and bigotry, unfortunately too splashy of a celebrity story for the hopelessly biased leftist press to tamp down.

So, enjoy watching the sick racist Democrats squirm under the news of Sterling's racism. That is, until the next distraction squirrel! runs our from the bushes, lol.
