Let me remind the ignorant at Mediate that anyone who has actually paid attention knows and can see that the Impeach Obama

Kesha Rogers DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINEE for congress in Texas 22nd district

signs with the Hitler Mustaches that you constantly see are held by the Lyndon LaRouche people who are not Tea Party people, they are in fact Democrats.

May I also point out that one of those LaRouche Democrats Kesha Rogers is actually the Democratic party nominee for congress in Tx-22?

This story has been covered by blogs such as Big Government and I Hate the Media ,but for some reason Mediaite the MSM, Bill Maher et/all have no use for it.

However AOL NEWS did talk to her and she had this to say:

9) In 50 words or less, what’s the first thing the new Congress should do to improve the economy?

Use the 25th Amendment to remove Obama from office, for mental incompetency. Then, reinstate FDR’s 1933 Glass-Steagall act, to end Wall Street bailouts. Invest trillions in physical infrastructure and productive jobs, especially in NASA, terraforming the biosphere, nuclear power and maglev rail. Revive the culture of the American Classical tradition.

10) In 50 words or less, what’s the biggest threat facing the country today?

Hyperinflation. The world banking system is hopelessly bankrupt, and simply printing bailout money will make our banks collapse. This is already happening. This policy will send the world into a dark age, and if not stopped with global Glass-Steagall type measures, will wipe out whole nations and cultures.

Let’s just remind you…this is the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE for congress in Tx-22. (the republican office holder is 1st term congressman Pete Olson btw)

Maybe it’s just me but I think that a black woman calling for the removal of President Obama from office representing the Democratic Party in a congressional election would seem like an interesting story to me.

But Rob Reiner (who is a great comic and director) finds comfort in their Nazi fantasies, that way when they lose to the Big Red Wave, it won’t be because the American people rejected them, it will be due to the forces of Evil!

NPR Ombudsman: Yeah Williams had it coming

How will NPR react to the firestorm, why they will double down:

That said, Williams provided a valuable voice on NPR. His long experience as a journalist and background as an authority on the Civil Rights movement enabled him to offer insights that often enriched the network’s reporting.

Ultimately, however, it seems management felt he had become more of a liability than an asset. Unfortunately, I agree.

Yup, perhaps about $1,800,000 worth of assets.

And of course it isn’t about firing a black man who appears on a conservative show: (emphasis mine)

It can’t be overlooked that this episode is occurring in a toxic political environment where people are quick to take sides and look for hidden motives. I fear some will look for racial motivations in NPR’s decision to fire Williams, who is African-American and one of the few black male NPR voices.

It’s not about race. It’s also not about free speech, as some have charged. Nor is it about an alleged attempt by NPR to stifle conservative views. NPR offers a broad range of viewpoints on its radio shows and web site.

I’m sure NPR has plenty of empathy for organization with few blacks who fire them and I’m sure they haven’t tolerated outrageous statement before, oh wait:

— Also in 2005, NPR apologized to Mark Levin, author of “Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America,” after a broadcast of its program “Day to Day” falsely accused him of advocating violence against judges. Levin accepted the apology, but said the broadcast was “illustrative of a smear campaign launched by the Left to try and silence” his criticisms of judicial activism.

— In 2002, the head of NPR issued an apology six months after a report linking anthrax-laced letters to a Christian conservative organization.

— Also in 2002, during an interview with the Philadelphia City Paper, NPR host Tavis Smiley said he strived to do a show that is “authentically black,” but not “too black.”

— In 1995, Nina Totenberg, NPR’s award-winning legal affairs correspondent, was allowed to keep her job after telling the host of PBS’ “Inside Washington” that if there was “retributive justice” in the world, former North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms would “get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.”

In my opinion this is a perfect example of a cultural elite that only survives due to sugar daddies and don’t dare to upset them. Period!
