Bunker Mentality ?
This is from Newshounds:
Problems Mount For Rupert Murdoch
Reported by Ellen - Thu 1:39 PM
Dailyfinance.com reports all the news is bad for Rupert Murdoch these days. His right-hand man just quit, his daughter, Elizabeth, turned down a role on News Corp.'s board, son Lachlan left the company in 2005, share prices are down 32% and investors are growing tired. "If News Corp's Fox TV network is in need of a reality show idea, it need look no further than its controlling family." .
Lately Rupert Murdoch has been acting polite. He said he was disgusted
with the cartoon in the New York Post. I don't believe him. Many
people have e-mailed and contacted Rupert.They say never kick a man
while he's down,Benny Hill said that it was the best time to kick a
man.Here's how to kick Rupert. The best approach is to contact HIS
BOSS:
You know I really feel sorry for Rupert and I don't want to see his business to lose any more money. This is how to get in contact with his boss. His name is Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Al-Saud,one of the riches men in the world and a large shareholder of FOX.You can let him know how anti-Islamic and anti-Arab they are.

The Little Boy Who Cried ‘Racist!’
Where it says Blogger name deleted its Sugar from here: http://www.sugarnspice.typepad.com/
Judge for your self.
The Little Boy Who Cried ‘Racist!’
February 20, 2009 — The Sibyl
"THE SIBYL", FRANCESCO UBERTINI, C.1525
Remember the children’s story called “The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf”? Well, angry little boys are still crying, but not “Wolf”. Trying his best to grasp his 15 minutes of fame, a 43 year old male file clerk from Cleveland, Ohio and his angry inch accused The Sibyl of being racist and bigoted. Playing the victim and accusing everyone and anyone of being racist for any or no reason seems to be the sustained battle cry of the Obot , and it’s wearing mighty thin.
Hot on the heels of the phony outrage MSM’s righteous indignation over the New York Post’s now famous “Chimp Cartoon”, the battle cry of ‘racism and bigotry’ continues. But what about other Commanders in Chief whose simian similarities have been exploited without so much as an eye-roll? Seems to be a double standard here. My question to the righteously indignant: What are you going to do when a real racist or bigot shows up, and nobody believes your warning cries?
The ‘Angry Little File Clerk Who Could’ wrote:
“You are a racist and a bigot. You think that [Blogger's name deleted] is a black person,she is not. She ridicules the President’s African roots. She posts racist comments from Uncle Toms like Manning that want blacks in America to be on the bottom again. Only whites call Obama the Messiah. Now [Blogger] called Obama gay,anti-Gay ,Muslim,Marxist Christian,Arab, too black,not black.She made fun of his Grandmother,his African Culture,his white Grandmother’s death. What you bigots are trying to do is cause a race riot so white racist bigots can take over .I will monitor your site.”
Dear Embittered Clerk and your Angry Inch: Yesterday’s topics were about the MSM’s sucking up to what seems like Obama’s socialist agenda (as reported by The Washington Posts’ Eugene Robinson) along with an article from BBC News that tells how people from other countries are able to see through the Obama hype. Where was the racist/bigoted content, Sparky? Methinks you cried ‘racist’ because - well, because ‘Yes! You Can!
I do hope you are really monitoring my site. If you can submit a coherent comment that addresses the topics in Tuesday’s post, I will publish it. But if you continue to try to play the race card at every turn, your comments will remain in the bin with the rest of the trash.
Now that I’ve established just what I will and will not stand for on this site, (it’s tough being new kid on the block), let’s take a closer look at the cartoon:
ny-post-cartoonMaybe it’s because I live in Manhattan, where we are used to encountering as many as a dozen people from other cultures in the span of a city block, that I missed the racial implications. My first impression was “Oh - I get it. Bad joke comparing the chimp in Connecticut who went out of his mind with the morons who wrote the Stimulus Maximus.”
It wasn’t until I begrudgingly listened to MSNBC’s cesspool o’ bullshit called “Hardball” that I realized that Al Sharpton had already fired the first volley, inspiring the mindless Punditocracy to follow suit and inspire many to make asses of themselves by mimicking Sharpton’s battle cry. Sharp as a bowling ball, Sharpton re-created the same vigor he treated us to while exploiting the Tawana Brawley case, which in the end, turned out to be a total fabrication causing Al’s already dubious credibility to plummet even further than his most outspoken critics ever dreamed. Sharpton was ordered to pay the accused $65,000. Johnnie Cochran and other Sharpton benefactors subsidized the payment. Al Sharpton’s political image, unfortunately, has been little more than a joke ever since. His passion remains high, but his protestations are often met with suspicion and/or ridicule, which is unfortunate for any legitimate causes he may champion in the future. Now can you see why it’s dangerous to cry wolf?
Famous Chimps In The White House
bush_chimpNobody has been more critical of GWB’s tenure of the Presidency than I. That said, I wonder why nobody cried “racist” when this picture was published? Probably because, as in the case of the New York Post cartoon, racism had nothing to do with the image. The fact is that GWB was often (and, in my opinion, justifiably) criticized for making decisions that might as well have been made by a chimp. Often ridiculed as “America’s Funniest Monkey”, Dubbya mistook this negative attention for praise, and may just have to pay for it in spades in the future.
But again, I ask you, where was the outrage? or for that matter, the comparison to African Americans? Why didn’t the likes of Reverend Wright and The Huffington Post make a public outcry saying: “This cartoon of George W. Bush is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they depict Dubbya as a chimpanzee, implying that his shameful polities are indicative of African-American sensibilities.” (the preceding quote was a paraphrase of Sharpton’s official remarks)
bonzoFinally, who could forget the (supposedly) endearing photos of Ronald Reagan from ‘Bedtime for Bonzo’? Pics like this were used both as criticism of Reagan’s policies as well as misguided attempts to humanize the two-dimensional character of Ronnie-boy’s public persona as seen through the lens of those who weren’t Pat Buchanan totally in the tank for him. Any public outcry then? not that I can remember.
In summary, the knee-jerk reaction to stretch the implications of political cartoons or commentary criticizing the legislation of the Obama presidency as ‘racist attacks against the president and the African-American community at large’ will only serve to numb the sensitivities of those who truly champion against racism and bigotry.
Are there racists in America? Sure there are, and they come in all colors. Like the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf, any future legitimate allegations of racism, bigotry or hate crimes stand a good chance of being suspect if this phony outrage continues.

Pat Boone Revisited ?
Remember when Pat Boone redid "Little Richard's" "Tutti Fruitti"? Rich said the white kids had Pat's record by the stereo and his under the bed.You don't mess with the original.Will the Republican Chuck D run out and pick cotton? Will the Republican Flavor Flav say Yessir Boss instead of Yea Boyee ? It ain't gonna' work.Here's some of the "steelo" from Michael Steele H/T Daily Kos:
"It's hard out here for a pimp.
Newly elected RNC Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party's principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.”
The RNC's first black chairman will “surprise everyone” when updating the party's image using the Internet and advertisements on radio, on television and in print, he told The Washington Times."
First it is patronizing to think that to speak to the "kids" they have to dumb down the message.Now President Obama did do some "dogwhistles" the Jay-Z shoulder brush,saying Aiiight, and saying that"he's ain't going for the okie doke".It took FOX a while to translate what he was doing,hell Steele didn't get it.Sorry Charlie,I don't think that people who "cling close to their guns" will be down wit' da brothers.

No More Questions
It looks like Greta's and FOX's last interview with the President.
North to Alaska,oh yes the rush is on...
Looks like Greta had better stop dogging out the President and haul her flat derriere to Alaska again,Sarah needs a photo op.After plenty of shaming by bloggers and fellow Alaskans Sarah will finally do her job and help her constituents.Here's part of the press release:
"February 19, 2009, Juneau, Alaska - Following up on several trips to Western Alaska by multi-agency state personnel, Governor Sarah Palin and Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell will travel with Franklin Graham, President and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, to the communities of Marshall and Russian Mission on Friday. Samaritan’s Purse is a nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian aid across the world. Working with private sector and nonprofit resources, an estimated 10,000 pounds of food will be distributed to more than 200 Alaska families in need."
This is what Mudflats has to say:
"Now we know! We’ve been asking ourselves since January 12, what it would take to shame the governor into actually taking some personal time and doing something to help villages in Western Alaska who are running out of food and fuel this winter."
"Five full weeks after the news hit, we have an answer. A whole lot of bad press."
See the people up there in distress don't live in Sarah's part of America,they are people of color for the most part,indigenous Alaskan Natives.Now that doesn't have any flash like the parties,events and interviews by Greta.So Sarah do like the President is doing and earn your paycheck.

It's people like you who keep racial hatred alive. Grow up and look at yourself! Non-black America is not a racist country. What I've seen is blacks turning against a conservative family member .
Washington Zoo replied to your comment on OPEN THREAD -- BLOG! / GretaWire:
It is amazing that all other nationalities have made it without any special treatment. The Irish in the 1800's were the minorities, the Italians in the early 1900's. the Jews in the mid 1900's and many others. Many blacks have made it but you and others still want the ability to check the black box for special treatment. And you call me a racist.

Is this all we got Cleveland?
Cleveland we got to do more.One day while breezing through Wiki ,all I got was this.
Polish Boy

This article is about the sandwich. For the short story by Orson Scott Card, see The Polish Boy (short story).
The Polish Boy is a sausage sandwich native to Cleveland, Ohio. It consists of a piece of kielbasa sausage placed in a bun, and covered with a layer of french fries, a layer of barbecue sauce or hot sauce, and a layer of coleslaw.[1] While Polish Boys can be found a various establishments throughout Cleveland, a popular place is Freddie's Southern Style Rib House, known for their southern style barbecue sauce. Esquire named theirs as one of the best sandwiches in America, calling it "soul on white."[2]
Come on this is the home of Rock and Roll. Funk was born in Ohio. We got John Hinton,Steve Harvey, Drew Carey,Bob Hope,Ruby Dee,Robert Lockwood Jr., and all Wiki got for us is a sandwich?I hope when anthropologist study us in the future that they just don't find Polish Boy wrappers.

Will Americans Block the ‘Spendulus’ Plan Before It’s Too Late?
By Phil Kerpen
Director of Policy, Americans for Prosperity
The public hates this bill. Intensely. The more they learn about it, the more they hate it. The anti-stimulus website NoStimulus.com was so flooded with traffic that it crashed this morning, then it was brought back up with three servers and promptly crashed again.
You may ask who the hell is Phil Kerpen? He is a debate specialist and economist for the far right. He gives them their marching orders from the National Review Online.
Now that the public is really paying attention to this bill, it’s a race against the clock to get it passed before it collapses of its own weight. Democrats and their outside allies, like MoveOn.org, concede that if it doesn’t happen this week it never will, and the vote tonight only means the bill cleared the first of several hurdles that it faces this week.

long ago came to the conclusion that it entirely possible to solve a problem without fully identifying the cause; do you refuse medication from a doctor who is treating symptoms when the infectious agent

Why do liberals think they can say anything they want and people are going to take it for the truth. Are they Drunk, Wasted, or just Stupid? If Buck Wheat is making fools out of the Repubs in Congress there would be division in their ranks and there is only solidarity which is NOT what Buck Wheat expected and wanted. Yes there were three moderates who sold out….I would hardly call that divisiveness. Those three have always disagreed with the Repub. Base.

Michael Steele: A REAL Change ?
This is some stuff from Sugar's site,here goes:
I nearly laughed my ass off when I saw this headline earlier today: Republicans Pick Steele as Next Party Chair. If you don't know, Michael Steele, former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, is an African-American. Make that Black American. Which one could take to mean the Republicans are actually more open to "change" than the Democrats because while Obama is African-American in that his father was from Kenya and his mother from the U.S., he is not Black American and I don't remember Nancy Pelosi snapping at anyone on Al Sharpton's behalf during his run back in 2004. Anybody? Now, to be sure, the Republican National Committee members voted Steele in as chair because they wanted to issue a "take that!" to Obama and the DNC, but hell I'll take it. Now, the Republicans will be able to take it to Obama without fear of being labeled racist...well, you'd think anyway. My Black ass has been called racist more times than I can count for speaking against Obama. WTF? We'll see. --SUGAR
OK ,you can stop throwing up now.We are suppose to think that Michael Steele is "down wit' da' cause" because he's black.I didn't vote for the President because he's black, if I had done that I would have voted for J.Kenneth Blackwell for Governor.Let me first put some stuff out about this one guy's family and see if he would have been a good pick for the Republicans to run for office.
Brother in law is Malik Abdul Aziz.His nephew is named Amir.Malik once engaged in cannibalism.One of Malik's two wives he was alleged to have beaten.Malik was even sentenced to prison for assaulting a woman.He even beat up someone who beaten Michael Moorer. Malik is a Muslim and orthodox.Malik is extremely dangerous.He has four children, Monica the mother of Malik's two kids,was paid for services that were never performed,worked as her brothers finance chairman from a 2006 campaign federal prosecutors were told.Federal agents in recent days contacted one of Malik's former wives, a spokesman for her brother said yesterday.
Using bigotry ,racism,and omitting the truth I did the same thing Sugar did.First I'm using all real names.Malik Abdul Aziz is the legal name for Mike Tyson.Monica was one of Mike's former wives,Robin Givens is the other.Mike's son is named Amir.Mike bit off Holyfields ear off. Holyfield did beat up Michael Moorer,the fighter not Michael Moore the director.AND MIKE IS MICHAEL STEELE BROTHER IN LAW.This has nothing to do with Michael Steele being a quisling and a Tom.BTW, when I mentioned Mike was Orthodox it's 100% true ,it means he fights left handed,not his religion.Now do you think that Steele can take four years of what the President had to go through for two years?Republicans like him and they STILL call him boy.

News Corp. Suffers Staggering $6.4 Billion Loss
From Huff Post:
News Corp. Suffers Staggering $6.4 Billion Loss
LOS ANGELES — News Corp., the global media giant controlled by Rupert Murdoch, said Thursday it lost $6.4 billion in its most recent quarter because of a massive write-down in the value of its assets.
The New York-based company, which owns The Wall Street Journal and the Fox broadcast network, also forecast a 30 percent drop in operating profits for the fiscal year to June from a year ago, when it earned $5.13 billion.
The forecast was a sharp downgrade from November when it expected "low to mid-teens" percentage drop for the year.
News Corp. shares shed 55 cents, or 7.4 percent, to $6.90 in after-hours trading.
Analyst David Bank of RBC Capital Markets said Wall Street was expecting the bad news given similar announcements by other media companies.
"It was bad, but it wasn't out of left field," Bank said. "It was probably more of a confirmation of what we expected rather than a new set of information."
Murdoch, the chief executive who controls more than a third of the company's shares, blamed the bleak outlook on falling advertising revenue and the impact of weak consumer sentiment on DVD and book sales.
He told analysts the results were "a direct reflection of the recession that is deeper than anyone predicted" and called it the worst global economic crisis News Corp. had seen since its founding more than 50 years ago.
"We are doing everything we possibly can to position ourselves to emerge stronger when the economy returns to some semblance of normalcy," he said.
News Corp. also said it had cut 800 positions across its Fox properties, including the 20th Century Fox movie studio, in moves that it expected to save $400 million a year. The Wall Street Journal said Thursday it is cutting about two dozen newsroom positions.
Murdoch added that the company was aiming to save more than $10 million a year by combining the backroom operations of its newspapers in Australia, and at The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, while renegotiating distribution contracts in the U.S.
News Corp.'s second-quarter loss amounted to $2.45 per share. In the same period a year ago it had net income of $832 million, or 27 cents per share.
Excluding the write-down, which amounted to $6.7 billion after taxes, the company said net income in the three months to Dec. 31 was $320 million, or 12 cents per share.
Revenue fell 8.4 percent to $7.87 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected, on average, earnings of 19 cents per share on revenue of $8.39 billion.
Movie and TV studio revenue fell 25 percent to $1.49 billion, and operating profit sank 72 percent to $112 million. Key film releases such as "Marley & Me" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" drove up marketing costs, while last year's holiday quarter had a better home-video release slate, including "The Simpsons Movie" and "Live Free or Die Hard," the company said.
Newspaper revenue grew 6 percent to $1.51 billion but operating profit slipped 9 percent to $179 million. A $59 million profit contribution from The Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., which News Corp. bought in December 2007, was offset by lower ad revenue in the U.K. and Australia.
Revenue from the television division, which includes the Fox TV stations and Fox network, fell 17 percent to $1.27 billion as local ad revenues shrank despite higher political ad sales. Operating profits plunged 93 percent to $18 million, from $245 million a year ago.
Cable network programming revenue grew 10 percent to $1.36 billion, led by Fox News Channel's coverage of the U.S. presidential race.
Direct broadcast satellite revenue fell 3 percent to $922 million, magazine and insert revenue grew 4 percent to $284 million, and book publishing revenue from HarperCollins fell 25 percent to $305 million.
Revenue from other sources, including the social networking site MySpace, fell 7 percent to $743 million. The "other" group swung to a $38 million operating loss from a $23 million gain a year ago, hurt partly by the cost of launching MySpace Music.
News Corp. also said Thursday it increased its cash holdings by $800 million to about $4.5 billion after reducing its stake in digital technology company NDS Group Ltd. in a going-private transaction.
Murdoch said that was enough cash to make debt payments for seven years.
Analyst Laura Martin of Media Metrics said the hefty amount of cash meant Murdoch might go looking to buy other assets.
"As soon as Rupert's sure he doesn't need (the cash) I expect him to make a clever acquisition," she said.
Responding to a reporter's question, Murdoch said that didn't include the debt-strapped New York Times Co. His history running tabloid papers had already ruffled feathers when he bought The Wall Street Journal.
"I have no desire to be a bigger public enemy or target," he said.
News Corp. Suffers Staggering $6.4 Billion Loss
LOS ANGELES — News Corp., the global media giant controlled by Rupert Murdoch, said Thursday it lost $6.4 billion in its most recent quarter because of a massive write-down in the value of its assets.
The New York-based company, which owns The Wall Street Journal and the Fox broadcast network, also forecast a 30 percent drop in operating profits for the fiscal year to June from a year ago, when it earned $5.13 billion.
The forecast was a sharp downgrade from November when it expected "low to mid-teens" percentage drop for the year.
News Corp. shares shed 55 cents, or 7.4 percent, to $6.90 in after-hours trading.
Analyst David Bank of RBC Capital Markets said Wall Street was expecting the bad news given similar announcements by other media companies.
"It was bad, but it wasn't out of left field," Bank said. "It was probably more of a confirmation of what we expected rather than a new set of information."
Murdoch, the chief executive who controls more than a third of the company's shares, blamed the bleak outlook on falling advertising revenue and the impact of weak consumer sentiment on DVD and book sales.
He told analysts the results were "a direct reflection of the recession that is deeper than anyone predicted" and called it the worst global economic crisis News Corp. had seen since its founding more than 50 years ago.
"We are doing everything we possibly can to position ourselves to emerge stronger when the economy returns to some semblance of normalcy," he said.

Welcome to the party Mike.
This is one of Michael Steele constituents.He don't like how the party is being ran.This is the Republicans base. Welcome to the party Mike.
To Hell with the Republican Party!
GOP traitors appoint Obama Junior as Chairman of the Republican Party
By David Duke, former Republican member of the House of Representatives in Louisiana, and former Chairman of the Largest Republican District in the state.
The Republican Party leadership, in its latest act of self-immolation appointed Michael Steele, a radical Black racist as the leader of the Party.
Steele is a passionate supporter of affirmative action programs that racially discriminate against tens of millions of White Americans. He also supports increased discrimination against White owned businesses in the awarding of non-merit and non-bid minority contracts. He is opposed to the death penalty and thinks that it is disproportionately applied to Blacks even though it is applied to White murderers at 500 percent higher than it is to Black murderers. He is also an advocate of more gun control legislation as well as a draconian, massively increased enforcement of the current laws. He is a servile dog of Israel and has condemned Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists and yet said not a word of compassion for the 5,000 (half of them women and children) who have been maimed and murdered in Gaza by Israel’s weapons of mass destruction. He says that he would still support the Iraq War and the loss of 50,000 maimed Americans, 4500 killed and trillions in cost, even though the reason for the war (Weapons of Mass Destruction) was proven to be a lie.
When a reporter for the Washington Post interviewed me on the appointment, this is what I said:
I am glad these traitorous leaders of the Republican Party appointed this Black racist, affirmative action advocate to the head of the Republican party because this will lead to a huge revolt among the Republican base. As a former Republican official, I can tell you that millions of rank-and-file Republicans are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore! We will either take the Republican Party back over the next four years or we will say, “To Hell With the Republican Party!” And we will take 90 percent of Republicans with us into a New Party that will take its current place!
I think the insanity of nominating “Mr. Amnesty” John McCain and now this Black racist — will lead to insurgency in the Republican ranks, and a lot of dissidents getting elected in Republican Party primaries around the country. This will result over the next four years in a real move by millions of Republicans to take the party back to the populist issues that are not only right but can win for the Republican Party. We must end affirmative action, protect our gun rights and all our constitutional rights, have a moratorium on immigration, we must have protectionism, yes I said protect American businesses and their workers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have America First, not foreign interventionism. Our boys should be home protecting the American borders and not being murdered on the borders of Iraq or Afghanistan. The time has come for the Republican Party to stand up to Obama and defend American heritage, rights, and freedom!
Who knows if they will print a word of my comments, but millions will read them here on www.Davidduke.com — As our Internet numbers grow, soon we will be able to also say “To hell with the controlled media.”
The Republican leadership is not going to get away with this one. Obama is bad enough as President, we will not stand for Obama junior to be head of the Republican Party
I have compiled here some direct quotes from the new Black racist, Republican Chairman, complete with unimpeachable sources, mostly from his own campaign websites and press releases. Also here are some media excerpts about how happy we should be about our new Republican Chairman.
Let’s make this abomination in the Republican Party the last major party of White redoubt, as a rallying cry of resistance!

Some excerpts of media and direct quotes by Steele:
RNC Chairman Michael Steele Pledges Action RNC Chairman Michael Steele Pledges Action
January 30, 2009 by Michael Thompson in Associated Content
Some delegates at the RNC Chairman’s election in Washington, Michael Steele’s hometown, opposed Steele on the basis that he is not politically conservative enough for their tastes. This reflects the philosophic divisions that have afflicted the Republican National Committee at various times through history, most recently during the past three years. Michael Steele opposes the death penalty and supports affirmative action, unlike most Republicans.
Steele says he want more discrimination against White-owned businesses
Michael chaired a 17-member task force devoted to reforming Maryland’s Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), which works to provide more opportunities for minority-owned small businesses and further spur job growth and economic vitality. There are 82,000 minority-owned businesses in the state, accounting for 20% of all Maryland firms. Maryland ranks 2nd in the nation in having the most minority-owned businesses.

Steele wants stronger gun control laws and harder enforcement of the draconian laws on the books
Steele: “Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.”
Source: Washington Post interview Oct 16, 2006
Opposed to the death penalty and thinks that it is disproportionately applied to Blacks (When in fact Whites receive a dramatically disproportionate percentage of death penalties.
Steele is personally opposed to the death penalty, but he has not publicly expressed his opinion on two executions [in Maryland]. Nor, he said, did he privately try to dissuade Gov. Ehrlich from signing the execution orders. He did, however, volunteer to undertake a study of the fairness of the death penalty to determine if minorities and the poor in Maryland receive a disproportionate share of death sentences. But that was in 2003, and three years later he has still not produced a finished report.

Would still vote for the Iraq war even there were no weapons of mass destruction
I would think we’d still prosecute the war. But what I would do, if we’re going to do it, let’s make sure we have the right complement of personnel on the ground and that we are looking forward in this and not looking backwards. And that’s where I am right now: What are we going to do, what is our strategy to begin to move our soldiers home and have Iraqi government and leadership move forward and keeping what they want in Iraq?

Works against the American business and their workers
Steele Supports Free Trade and actually led a trade mission to Africa where he called for no tariffs on these nation’s products where workers are paid a few cents per day. Such a policy would of course undermine American companies, American employment and wages.
“As Maryland’s Lieutenant Governor, Michael Steele led an historic trade mission to Ghana and South Africa to advance opportunities for small businesses in Maryland to bring their goods and services to the global market. In the United States Senate, Michael Steele will continue a growth-oriented dialogue with countries all over the world to advance the interests of Maryland businesses and to help them compete in an ever-changing global economy.”

Betrays the Republican base states!
Can Michael Steele lead GOP out of woods? Republican National Committee picks first black chair
By RICHARD SISK Daily News Washington Bureau, January 30th 2009
“Steele quickly pledged to break the current mold of the GOP as a southern and southwestern stronghold and reach out to reclaim the party’s former base in New York and the Northeast.”

Justice or just us?
On February 3, 2008 Jason Vassell was the victim of a racist hate crime. Since then he has been further victimized by a racist prosecution. We, a coalition of community organizations, students and faculty, seek solidarity in challenging this racist prosecution.
Early on the morning of February 3, 2008, Jason, an African American student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was in his dormitory. Two intoxicated white men, Jonathan Bowes and Jonathan Bosse, approached Jason’s dormitory window repeatedly referring to him as a “nigger” and breaking in the window. They then forced their way into the dormitory lobby where they assaulted Jason, breaking his nose and giving him a concussion.
Under this continuing assault Jason was forced to defend himself with a pocketknife, injuring his assailants. As a result of defending himself against this unprovoked assault Jason, the victim of the attack, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon. These charges carry a possible thirty year prison sentence. One of the perpetrators, Jonathan Bowes, was charged only with misdemeanors carrying a maximum eighteen month sentence. The other, Jonathan Bosse, was not charged at all.
Remember, for every one of these cases we hear about, there are probably 10 to 100 more we don’t.
