To the victor goes the spoils, indeed...........

Hm. Harry Reid makes racist remarks. There is a love fest and everyone is forgiven.

What bullshit.

I have to say, Michael Steel is right: "There is this standard where the Democrats feel that they can say these things, and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own. But if it comes from anyone else, it's racism. It's either racist or it's not. And it's inappropriate, absolutely."

Harry Reid is not resigning over it, of course. But maybe that's because he knows he's going to lose his re-election bid anyway.

This is a livid example of what Obama meant when he said, "Elections have consequences." Yes, they do. The minority party gets shut out, shut down, slapped around. And the winners can conduct themselves any way they please, with total impunity. Look who's running the plantation now.

Also, I'm really starting to wonder what exactly is the point, or the benefit, to Obama never reacting the racist behavior. This isn't the playground, and they are not going to go away if you ignore them. Too much more of it and he's going to start losing the black vote.

Race card getting played, but not by Obama, Congress censures Wilson

Eight months into the "historic" presidency of Barack Obama, the race card is finally getting played. But not by him. The media is suddenly turning their attention to Obama's critics, and his race, and drawing their own conclusions... FULL STORY

Hamas Antagonizes Peace Prospects

Israel, bending to increasing global pressure to consider a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, agreed to a three hour cessation of hostility. The New York Daily News is reporting that at 1 O'clock PM, "precisely the time" when the 3-hour cease-fire was supposed to begin, Hamas fired on Israeli troops. The three hour window was intended to allow aid supplies and fuel to reach some of the 1.4 million residents of Gaza. Red Cross International is calling the Gaza Strip a full-blown humanitarian crisis at this time, and is struggling to get aid workers and supplies into Gaza. Al-Qaida is capitalizing on the mayhem, calling on worldwide attacks and blaming President-elect Obama for the Gaza attacks. Iran is also flexing its muscles, sending out envoys all over the globe, under the guise of peace. Iraqi resistance leader Muqtada al-Sadr has jumped on the bandwagon as well, calling for "revenge operations" against America and pro-Israeli groups. Meanwhile racism is alive and well at home, as a protester in Florida calls for Jews to "go back to the oven." If anyone still thinks Hamas is interested in a peaceful solution, look here and here.
