From the diaries by Neil

Over the last few weeks the left has made a concerted effort to target black conservatives, challenge the legitimacy of their organizations, demand the names of their funding sources, all in an effort to control those who’ve rejected their inherit need for supremacy.

The left has a few black organizations they control, or at least they think they do….

For those of you familiar with my site, Black & Right, ColorofChange.org may sound familiar. ColorofChange.org collected money for the Jena 6. A New York rapper joined up with ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org to protest the racist scrutiny Fox News dared inflict on then-Senator Barack Obama during the presidential campaign. This is also the same ColorofChange.org that led the advertiser boycott of Glenn Beck’s program

Let’s take a quick look at ColorofChange.org, who like Al Sharpton, is still on Fox’ case.

Oh, where do we go with this? All we have to do is recognize the source for starters….

Well, Michael Steele is a self-aggrandizing, gaffe-prone incompetent who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black. Of course, the irony is that he never would have been voted in as Chairman of the Republican Party were he not black.

Okay, I’ll give her that.

But at the same time, would The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Cynthia Tucker have won a 2007 Pulitzer for “for her courageous, clear-headed columns that evince a strong sense of morality and persuasive knowledge of the community” if she weren’t black and thus praised by a pandering body in need of translation of the community’s pulse?

This is what I’ve been working on the last two days…

Equipped with the state-of-the-art Media Research Center TV studio and the excellent production work of MRC Video Producer Bob Parks, we at NewsBusters have been hard at work developing a new biweekly program that mocks the liberal media’s most outrageous and humorous soundbites.

We debut the new “Notable Quotables” video program on Monday, October 12

This will be fun.

As a resident of Massachusetts, I see real parallels between the rise and fall of our first black governor Deval Patrick, and the rise and coming fall of the first black president, Barack Obama. Let’s get to some politically correct, uncomfortable-to-say for some, specifics.

1. The Ballot Becomes The Race Card
Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama had the same campaign guru: David Axelrod.

Using white liberal guilt to his political advantage, Axelrod created candidates that were immune from the normal political vetting process, as any attempt to do such would be called veiled racism. With that, they run with vague slogans that touched at progressive heartstrings, and they did. Patrick’s campaign “Together We Can” and Obama’s “Yes, We Can” offered what the beholder thought he or she wanted, without the nasty details.

You know, enough is enough.

In what he casts as an attack on litterbugs and nicotine addiction alike, Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to impose a fee on an age-old inhabitant of city streets: the cigarette butt.

The proposal, to be introduced next month to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, would add 33 cents to the cost of a pack of cigarettes, to offset the estimated $10.7 million the city spends annually removing discarded butts from gutters, drainpipes and sidewalks.

I agree that there are lazy smokers who litter.

But how about kids who toss their candy wrappers or soda cans on the street? Take a look at any street and tell me all the litter is only cigarettes. This is not a litter issue. It’s the ongoing use of smokers as a demonized revenue base, pure and simple. So, let’s get something started.

On the last weekend of every month, cigarette smokers (who use a legal product properly yet are demonized) will not buy cigarettes. If done monthly on a national scale, this should noticeably impact federal and state revenues to the point where lawmakers will either ban this dangerous product or leave us the hell alone.

Pass this on.

In the comfort of your own, it’s amazing what comes out…

Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, considered a leading contender to replace David Souter on the Supreme Court, speaks on a panel at Duke Univ. Law School in 2005. She is responding to a question on the pros and cons of different types of judicial clerkships

If Judge Sotomayor is so flippant now about being an activist judge, imagine what she’ll do once she’s in the Supreme Court?

The Massachusetts Republican Party, in their “wisdom”, elected what some conservatives deemed a Barbie cheerleader. The only problem is, instead of leading, she’s apparently not even good at backing her team.

In a stinging email rebuke by MassResistance,

Newly elected Republican Party Chairman Jennifer Nassour has wasted no time making it clear where she wants the party to go. Last week, in a front-page interview with the hardcore homosexual newspaper Bay Windows, she told the homosexual community that they didn’t need to worry about the Republican party opposing them on “social issues” or “the culture wars.”

We’ve known for years that the loser RINOs run the Mass GOP. They’ve now just rubbed it in the face of the base.

According to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, we should call the economic meltdown “The Cracker Crisis”…

Sky News, 3/26/09 — Brazil’s President, while meeting Gordon Brown, has said the global financial crisis was caused by “white people with blue eyes”. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made the comments after talks with the Prime Minister to try to forge a global consensus on how to save the worldwide economy.

Da Silva could’ve easily been today’s “Bonehead”, but I thought we should have an appropriate, elevated category for heads of state.

Oh, and President da Silva, does the name Franlkin Raines mean anything to you?

My response is the following…

To Web Enforcement, Fox Inc.

I must admit to being perplexed by your recent email, so please permit me to be blunt.

NMATV is a 50% black-owned business. While race isn’t an issue, public perception is another thing.

There are dozens, if not hundreds of Family Guy videos currently on YouTube. NMATV has ONE.

I understand the subject matter of the video in question is controversial, but we didn’t write, produce, or air that clip on national television. Fox Broadcasting did. We could cite Fair Use from the Copyright Law of 1976:

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

And while your program clip is covered by copyright law, your email is not, and removal of the video from NMATV would require an explanation to our viewers. How it would be perceived by them is beyond our control.

We would be more than happy to remove the video once it’s confirmed that ALL of the Family Guy videos on YouTube alone, are purged from the Internet. Singling out our ONE video would have the appearance of selective discrimination, and I’m sure we don’t want to go there.

Please inform me of how you wish to proceed.

Thank you,
Bob Parks
Executive Director, NMATV
