I think the Mark Williams business has a little inside baseball…

…even before this the Tea Party express and some of the other groups didn’t see eye to eye. Back in April there was some friction between the pair in Washington and a Worcester Tea Party leader advised some members not to show up to the Boston Rally.

When Confederate Yankee asked why the entire express was booted over Williams the answer is, in my opinion because they could. It is clearly unfair to taint the tea party express over this but they had a chance to knock off a rival so they took it.

What really gets me angry about this is that reading what he said, how could he not realize what he was doing? You can make the case that government dependence is holding back the black community. (Candidate Cory Ruth made that case to me in GA-4) but this was just over the top offensive.

Because of said stupidity the NAACP has a scalp and the media story Monday will not be about the phony charges that were made, it will be about validation of their meme. Mr. Williams did that and for that alone he deserves plenty of grief.

Mr. Williams I have to give you the Wheel of Fish award for this one.

Bad Form Mr. Williams, bad form.

Memorandum thread here.

Update: Williams’ statement is here, it’s pretty good and deserves an airing. It should be noted that he admits that he screwed up big time. Waiting for the same from New Black Panthers, Rev Wright and Louis (The Pious) Farrakhan in 3….2…1….(billion).

Local Candidate Mike Stopa on Sean Hannity tonight

Stopa is one of the republicans/tea party candidates running to oppose Jim McGovern:

Stopa on the Mosque in NY: The Cordova initiative is funding this and is not good cross cultural, moving the Mosque would be a good outreach by these people, will they?

On the NASA topic: The greatest symbol of American exceptionalism is the space program, would be an ideal thing for them because it squashes American exceptionalism while promoting Islamic outreach. The president is a dilettante. He has no interest in outer space, it’s not on his agenda.

On Arizona: He brings up the apologizing for the Arizona law to China. Points out the reaction of the district to this is negative. He says the first thing we should do in the next congress is helping the states enforce the existing laws.

He looked good but really didn’t have a lot of screen time to work with. With Juan Williams and S. E. Cupp that’s some heavy competition for attention. He needed to be jumping in more, but he make some pretty good points. He certainly helped himself tonight.

It’s begins…

And on Way too early not only are they mentioning Sarah Palin’s response but the Megan Kelly & Kristen Powers fight caused him to mention the Black Panther case in passing.

The moral of the story? Want to get a conservative issue mentioned on MSNBC? Have two hot blonds on Fox argue about it Loudly!

A must read letter to the Washington Post

If you want to understand the death of the MSM this letter from Peter Kenny and Glenn Dale really says it all:

I am grateful to Charles Krauthammer, as I’m sure many other readers are, for his July 9 op-ed column, “The selective modesty of Barack Obama,” because he mentioned a story that The Post, the New York Times and most of the “important” media have not reported: NASA Administrator Charles Bolden’s bizarre interview with al-Jazeera, in which he said Mr. Obama gave him the mission to “reach out to the Muslim world” and “help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and math and engineering.” Mr. Bolden also said he was asked to “re-inspire” children to do well in science and math. I suspect any halfway intelligent Muslim would be offended by such laughable condescension.

Apart from regretting such feel-good nonsense from a once-great space agency, I would ask The Post: How was this story not newsworthy? Didn’t Post editors realize that word of these inane statements would eventually reach the hordes of Post readers? And that some of them might wonder why The Post hasn’t reported it already?emphasis mine

Peter Kenny, Glenn Dale

Any Questions?
