		<description><![CDATA[The left has become America’s biggest hate group.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/protest.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-247109" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/protest-425x350.png" alt="protest" width="328" height="270" /></a>Did you bury a teenage girl alive after shooting her? Are you on death row after a string of crimes too gruesome to describe? Or are you just a member of Al Qaeda dedicated to destroying America?</p>
<p>If so progressives will fight for you. Just dial 1-800-IAM-VICTIM and the leftist waiting to take your call will insist on your presumption of innocence. Its activists, reporters and lawyers will exploit every pretext to get you off the hook and they will call that justice.</p>
<p>The judicial process, they will say, matters more than public safety, public outrage or the victims.</p>
<p>When the crime wave set loose by their own activism flooded the country they clung to Blackstone’s formulation of “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”  As murders, rapes and robberies rose, the value of that formulation went up from ten to ten thousand.</p>
<p>But it had to be the right ten thousand.</p>
<p>Leftist lynch mobs rioting in Ferguson, marching through Manhattan and screaming in Oakland assert that the presumption of innocence doesn’t apply to police officers or white Hispanics. Their poses of victimization with their cries of “Black lives matter” and “I can’t breathe” disguise what they really are.</p>
<p>They were protesting before the case moved forward. They have continued protesting after the verdict was in. That’s not a call for justice. It’s a lynch mob that knows what the verdict should be and seeks to intimidate the authorities into giving it to them by taking the law into their own hands.</p>
<p>Rolling Stone’s rape story was cooked out of the same ingredients; a presumption of guilt and a lynch mob demanding its own brand of justice. The facts never mattered.</p>
<p>The assistant managing editor at the University of Virginia’s student paper admitted that when she argued, &#8220;To let fact checking define the narrative would be a huge mistake.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was never about the facts. It was about the narrative. And the narrative was not only the guilt of a few men, but the way that their guilt stood in for the guilt of all men or all white people. The factual question of whether Officer Darren Wilson or a few UVA students committed a crime was a technicality.</p>
<p>Since the racist and sexist narrative states that all white people or all men are inherently guilty, the factual question of whether a few men actually raped someone doesn’t matter. The factual question of whether a police officer is actually guilty under the law is so obscure that it isn’t worth discussing.</p>
<p>Fact checking just obstructs the narrative that all white people or all men are guilty.</p>
<p>The old lynch mobs presumed that a black man was guilty on account of his race. So do the new lynch mobs.</p>
<p>Wilson’s crime wasn’t shooting Michael Brown. It was shooting him while being white. If he had been black, we wouldn’t be talking about it now. If the black sergeant supervising the takedown of Eric Garner had been the one to restrain him, there would be no protesters shouting “I can’t breathe”.</p>
<p>Subtract the race of the perpetrator and the case wouldn’t exist. That’s what makes the case racist.</p>
<p>A lynch mob brought into existence by the race of the man they want lynched is a racist lynch mob.</p>
<p>At Ferguson and the University of Virginia not only was the crime assumed into existence before the verdict was in, but the action of one police officer in Ferguson was used to indict all police officers and then all white people. The actions of a few men at the University of Virginia were used to indict the entire fraternity and then all fraternities and then all men.</p>
<p>Classic lynch mobs treated the actions of one black rapist as a justification for repressing all black people. The leftist lynch mobs at Ferguson and the University of Virginia used the accusation of an individual crime to call for the repression of entire groups, to attack all white people and all men.</p>
<p>Even if these crimes had turned out to be substantiated, indicting hundreds of millions of people for the actions of a few is the narrative of a hate group. And that’s what progressives have shown that they are; a respectable establishment hate group that demonizes millions of people and leads lynch mobs.</p>
<p>One of the greatest lies of the left is that it believes in civil liberties. The ACLU’s civil libertarian colors were a convenient costume. It never existed to protect the rights of the people against leftist governments. It existed to protect the privileges of leftists.</p>
<p>That’s a direct quote from its co-founder.</p>
<p>Roger Nash Baldwin wrote, “If I aid the reactionaries to get free speech now and then, if I go outside the class struggle to fight against censorship, it is only because those liberties help to create a more hospitable atmosphere for working class liberties&#8230; When that power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatever.”</p>
<p>When Baldwin wrote these words, he was speaking of a Soviet Union led by Stalin which was maintaining its dictatorship of the proletariat through a secret police, torture and mass murder.</p>
<p>The co-founder of the ACLU was not only endorsing Stalin’s crimes, but he was also looking forward to an American Stalin rounding up enemies of the state and shooting them with the support of the ACLU.</p>
<p>The presumption of innocence is an idea that leftists only believe in when they aren’t in power.</p>
<p>When the left isn’t in power, then it may protect civil liberties to protect itself. When one of its own radicals is sitting in the White House, then it leads lynch mobs through the streets. The protests aren’t acts of weakness by victims, but signs of strength by oppressors.</p>
<p>The left is rejecting the democratic results of the midterm elections and turning to street violence. Their confidence is derived from the support of the establishment from the White House to the media. Never have lynch mobs received such universal acclaim from all the powers of the United States of America.</p>
<p>The progressive lynch mobs in Ferguson and at the University of Virginia contend that some crimes are too hurtful to a particular population to be protected by the presumption of innocence. Some suspects should be presumed guilty because of the combination of their race and gender with a national crisis.</p>
<p>After fighting for Al Qaeda terrorists at Gitmo, the left hypocritically decided that the presumption of innocence should apply to Muslim terrorists but not to police officers. The civil libertarians of the left went from championing the rights of criminals over those of victims to embracing the conservative position of victim rights… as long these rights are reserved for only the right sorts of victims.</p>
<p>The activists of the left must be forced to admit whether they are for or against the presumption of innocence. If they want to dispense with the presumption of innocence when it comes to enemies of the people like police officers and fraternity members, it will also go away for Islamic terrorists and violent thugs. Not to mention Weather Underground terrorists teaching at prestigious progressive colleges.</p>
<p>We cannot have a presumption of innocence for some people and not others. The left is not entitled to create two justice systems for two types of people. One group will be lynched with a formality of a trial manipulated to produce a verdict that not only damns one defendant, but also his entire race or gender. The other will receive every possible defense no matter how obvious his guilt may be.</p>
<p>America is a nation of laws, not of racist lynch mobs. Its trials are based on facts, not on narratives. The presumption of innocence matters more than the narrative and the social justice hashtag. Without it all we have left are racist lynch mobs with smartphones marching through Manhattan.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The lynch mob politics embraced by the Obama administration hit the streets of America.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #232323;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-246094 " src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992-450x337.jpg" alt="ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992" width="362" height="271" /></a>And so the whirlwind, cultivated by Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, the mainstream media and the army of thugs they enabled, is now being reaped. As the result of a St. Louis County grand jury <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/11/24/ferguson-grand-jury-deliberations/19474907/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">refusing</span></a> to indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown, Ferguson, MO has become Ground Zero, in what irresponsible Missouri State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadali <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/11/24/State-Senator-This-Is-St-Louis-Race-War"><span style="color: #1255cc;">referred</span></a> to on MSNBC as “St. Louis’s race war.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">One of the race war’s architects <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848308/Obama-begs-calm-rioters-set-fires-attack-police-cars-Ferguson-grand-jury-refuses-indict-police-officer-Michael-Brown-case.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">pleaded for calm</span></a> shortly after the decision was announced. Yet even as Obama spoke about that &#8220;need for calm” and that there was “no excuse for violence,” he insisted, “We have to try to understand&#8221; the anger of those who demanded nothing less than a murder charge absent an ounce of evidence as an &#8220;understandable reaction&#8221; from people who believe &#8220;the law is being applied in a discriminatory fashion.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Where did those people get that belief? Leave it to Obama to omit that critical information &#8212; the same President Obama who <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/17/us/groups-in-ferguson-prepare-for-grand-jury-decision.html?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;smid=tw-nytimes&amp;_r=1"><span style="color: #1255cc;">met</span></a> with protest leaders and Sharpton on Nov. 5 at the White House. It was at that unscheduled meeting the president was ostensibly &#8220;concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating,&#8221; according to Sharpton. &#8220;He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">One is left to marvel at one of two realities. Either we have a president so utterly naive he believes a <a href="http://freebeacon.com/politics/sharpton-cant-admit-tawana-brawley-hoax/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">hoax-perpetrating</span></a>, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/rev-al-caught-protest-tape-called-mart-owner-white-interloper-article-1.693222"><span style="color: #1255cc;">riot-inciting</span></a> Al Sharpton, who <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/al-sharpton-high-alert-ferguson-decision/story?id=27025757"><span style="color: #1255cc;">denigrated</span></a> the grand jury process, <i>pre</i>-organized <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/heres-agitator-al-sharpton-just-revealed-will-spread-protests-far-beyond-ferguson/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">protest rallies</span></a> in 25 American cities, and <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/25/al-sharpton-s-conflicting-roles-in-the-trayvon-martin-case.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">uses</span></a> his MSNBC platform to fire up racial unrest, is a man of peace. Or the president, who once <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/10/25/obama-tells-latinos-to-punish-our-enemies-the-gop/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">urged</span></a> his Latino followers to “punish our enemies,” remains as wedded to the same racial &#8220;us against them&#8221; mentality as America’s foremost racial arsonist. Is it really possible to believe the former?</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Despite Obama&#8217;s superficial condemnations of violence, at least 25 businesses were set ablaze, many of which are total losses—and most of which were <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/11/25/Most-Businesses-Destroyed-in-Ferguson-Minority-Owned"><span style="color: #1255cc;">minority owned</span></a>.  Ten cars were burned at a dealership, and a &#8220;lot of gunfire,” as Ferguson Asst. Fire Chief Steve Fair put it, made maintaining control of the streets highly problematic, if not impossible. Reporters were <a href="http://deadline.com/2014/11/ferguson-grand-jury-decision-verdict-networks-cut-primetime-1201292322/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">assaulted</span></a>, the store Michael Brown robbed prior to his confrontation with Wilson was <a href="http://deadline.com/2014/11/ferguson-grand-jury-decision-verdict-networks-cut-primetime-1201292322/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">looted</span></a>, and at least 61 people have been <a href="http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/in-ferguson-police-cars-businesses-on-fire-much-worse-than/article_47fc89b3-b0d2-5c41-a1fa-f4636673aac0.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">arrested</span></a>. “What I&#8217;ve seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in August, and that&#8217;s truly unfortunate,” said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar Monday at a 1:30 a.m press conference. Belmar further noted that there was “nothing left” along West Florissant between Solway Avenue and Chambers Road, that he heard at least 150 gun shots, and that he was surprised he and Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, who “got lit up,” as they drove through the area, weren’t hit by that gunfire.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">“We talked about peaceful protest, and that did not happen tonight,” Johnson said. &#8220;We definitely have done something here that&#8217;s going to impact our community for a long time&#8230;that&#8217;s not how we create change.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Sharpton continued to stir the pot, criticizing <span style="color: #1255cc;"><a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/prosecutor-democrat_819853.html">Democratic</a></span> Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s handling of the case, and <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/25/sharpton-grand-jury-announcement-an-absolute-blow/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">demanding</span></a> to know who voted for or against indicting Wilson, even though the law prohibits that information from being released. Sharpton’s motives are transparent. The grand jury was <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/24/366370100/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-michael-brown-case"><span style="color: #1255cc;">comprised</span></a> of nine white and three black jurors, seven of whom were men, and five of whom were women. Agreement by nine of 12 jurors was necessary to file criminal charges, and there is no doubt Sharpton was attempting to exacerbate the racial divide with the implication that race was the over-riding, if not sole, factor in the decision.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">The grand jury <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-case-of-ferguson-officer/2014/11/24/de48e7e4-71d7-11e4-893f-86bd390a3340_story.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">met</span></a> 25 times over the course of three months and heard testimony from 60 witnesses. They contemplated charges ranging from first-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter, and the bar for indictment was &#8220;probable cause,&#8221; not the far more onerous standard of determining &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt” whether a crime had been committed. A plethora of evidence from the proceedings was released, demonstrating how the jury came to the conclusions it did. It included testimony from Wilson himself, physical evidence, and other eyewitness testimony, including some from black Americans who corroborated Wilson’s version of events. ”They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against Officer Wilson, and returned a ‘No True Bill’ on each of the five indictments,” <a href="http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/11/24/ferguson-police-officer-darren-wilson-not-indicted/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">explained</span></a> McCulloch.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">None of it mattered to the mob—or seemingly the media either. McCulloch faced a hostile press during his post-announcement interview, one that has <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/24/bob-mcculloch-ferguson_n_6215986.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">characterized</span></a> that interview as “bizarre,” no doubt in response to his contention the media&#8217;s &#8220;insatiable appetite for something, for anything to talk about, following closely behind with the non-stop rumors on social media,” contributed to the firestorm surrounding this case.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would be the same media that initially lionized Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, whose thoroughly debunked eyewitness testimony about Brown being <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michael-brown-and-dorian-johnson-the-friend-who-witnessed-his-shooting/2014/08/31/bb9b47ba-2ee2-11e4-9b98-848790384093_story.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">shot in the back</span></a> while holding his hands up in surrender, epitomized the sensationalism that ignited the national firestorm. Johnson’s lie propelled much of the violence and unrest that followed, initiating the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” meme that remains prevalent to this day. It was the same media that <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/08/15/Robbery-Tape-Humiliates-Media-Gentle-Giant-Narrative"><span style="color: #1255cc;">perpetrated</span></a> the “gentle giant” meme to <a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/18943-ferguson-s-michael-brown-the-tall-tale-of-the-gentle-giant"><span style="color: #0433ff;">describe</span></a> the 6’4’’ nearly 300-pound Brown, only to see it undone by his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2z5-H8NSGA"><span style="color: #1255cc;">participation</span></a> in a strong-arm robbery of a much smaller store owner just prior to his confrontation with Wilson. It was the media who <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/doj_denounces_irresponsible_leaks_in_ferguson_police_shooting_case"><span style="color: #1255cc;">leaked</span></a> information during the grand jury proceedings, drawing a rebuke from an “exasperated” Holder, despite the reality that <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/shakeup-ferguson-police-force-expected"><span style="color: #1255cc;">MSNBC</span></a>, The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/ferguson-case-officer-is-said-to-cite-struggle.html?_r=2"><span style="color: #1255cc;"><i>New York Times</i></span></a> and the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/29/eric-holder-to-ferguson-leakers-shut-up-video/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">Daily Caller</span></a> all cited the administration and the Justice Department itself as sources of those leaks. That would be the same Eric Holder who ginned up mistrust of the police when he spoke to 50 community leaders, not just as Attorney General of the United States, but “as a black man” who remembers how “angry&#8221; he was when police stopped him for speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would also be the same Eric Holder, who like his efforts in the Trayvon Martin case, initiated <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848622/Federal-investigation-Ferguson-cops-ongoing-says-Attorney-General-Holder.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">two separate</span></a> DOJ investigations, one of potential civil rights violations allegedly committed by Wilson, and the other regarding practices of the Ferguson police force. &#8220;While the grand jury proceeding in St. Louis County has concluded, the Justice Department’s investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown remains ongoing,” he said. &#8220;In addition, the Department continues to investigate allegations of unconstitutional policing patterns or practices by the Ferguson Police Department.&#8221;</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">As for social media, the Twitterverse is currently <a href="http://twitchy.com/2014/11/25/twitter-lynch-mob-calls-for-murder-of-officer-darren-wilson/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">inundated</span></a> with calls for the murder of Officer Wilson.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Thus it is unsurprising the protests have spread beyond Ferguson. In Oakland, CA, hundreds of protesters bearing signs that read &#8220;The People Say Guilty!&#8221; and &#8220;Missouri, Palestine, Justice Now!” (an illuminating linkage to say the least) <a href="http://abc7news.com/news/group-marches-on-i-580-to-protest-ferguson-decision/409119/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">blocked</span></a> a major highway and other streets, starting fires, breaking the window of a bank, and spray painting a police cruiser with graffiti. In New York City, three bridges were <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/thousands-rally-ferguson-decision-article-1.2022628"><span style="color: #1255cc;">blocked</span></a>, there were marchers in Times Square and the Police Commissioner had fake blood thrown at him. A total of 90 cities across the nation were <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848203/Protesters-gather-90-cities-U-S-grand-jury-decides-Officer-Darren-Wilson-won-t-charged-death-Michael-Brown.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">besieged</span></a> by protesters who were seemingly united by a trio of themes: Michael Brown was innocent, Darren Wilson was guilty, and police departments deliberately and disproportionately target black America.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">And once again, a mainstream media still interested in fanning the racialist flames is leading the way. The same CNN that <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/08/19/damned-if-they-do-tapper-rips-ferguson-police"><span style="color: #1255cc;">ripped</span></a> the heavy police presence in Ferguson last August is the CNN whose morning co-anchor Michaela Pereira <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/11/25/ferguson-riot-media-live-blog"><span style="color: #1255cc;">spoke</span></a> about the community’s &#8220;frustration the police didn&#8217;t do more to protect those businesses.” Vox columnist Ezra Klein, who apparently considers himself more knowledgable than the grand jury, penned a column whose title says it all: “Officer Darren Wilson’s story is unbelievable. Literally.” Why? &#8220;None of this fits with what we know of Michael Brown,” Klein <a href="http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7281165/darren-wilsons-story-side"><span style="color: #1255cc;">insists</span></a>, even as he admits the encounter with Wilson happened shortly after the aforementioned robbery. <a href="http://salon.com/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">Salon.com</span></a> pushed the envelope to the max, <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/206293-lib-rag-salon-calls-america-a-white-supremacist-state-over-ferguson-decision/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">declaring</span></a> the jury’s decision “reaffirmed what we already knew: America is a white supremacist state.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Even Brown’s immediate family, who initially <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/ferguson-verdict-grand-jury-decides-not-to-charge-darren-wilson-over-killing-michael-brown/story-fnh81jut-1227134388237"><span style="color: #1255cc;">expressed</span></a> “profound disappointment with the decision, but asked that the protests “be kept peaceful,” had their wishes <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/ferguson/burn-this-bitch-down-879056"><span style="color: #1255cc;">undermined</span></a> by stepfather Louis Head. Shortly after the decision was reached, he urged the crowd 10 times to “burn this bitch down.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Those four words aptly describe the agenda of those with a vested interest in keeping Americans divided, angry and completely convinced the nation is a cesspool of racism where law enforcement must be considered the “enemy.” A nation where there are no longer irrefutable facts backed by witnesses and evidence, but a nation where reason and truth can only be determined after the filter of race is applied. One where the narrative must be served, even when that narrative assumes the characteristics of a lynch mob calling for the death of a police officer.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">It is a narrative that dismisses the reality of a disproportionate amount of <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf"><span style="color: #1255cc;">homicides</span></a> and <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/21/family-secret-what-the-left-wont-tell-you-about-bl/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">other crimes</span></a> committed by black Americans (overwhelmingly against other black Americans) relative to their population, even as it has <a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2006-01-17/news/0601170177_1_black-men-countdown-kimberly-jones"><span style="color: #1255cc;">long glorified</span></a> the thug culture that engenders most of it. It is the narrative that <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/new-black-panthers.jpg"><span style="color: #1255cc;">demands</span></a> police forces who “reflect the racial demography of the community,” even as many black Americans have been &#8220;taught from the time that you could speak, from the time that you could understand speech, that police are to be feared and that they’re part of an occupying force that is there to circumvent the democratic processes and to strip you of your rights,” <a href="http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/09/14/achieving-diversity-among-police-ranks-not-easy/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">according</span></a> to Phillip Atiba Goff, co-founder and president of the Center for Policing Equity at the University of California, Los Angeles.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Saddest of all, it is the narrative supported by a president whose track record extends from his past with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his racist rantings and <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/DemocraticDebate/story?id=4443788"><span style="color: #1255cc;">assertions</span></a> the Cambridge police “acted stupidly” when they arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., to his efforts to exacerbate racial discord <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/19/obama-goes-full-race-baiter/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">during and after</span></a> the Trayvon Martin saga. He is joined by an Attorney General who believes Americans are a “nation of cowards” when it comes to discussing race, one who insists voter ID is <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/eric-holder-voter-id-used-to-depress-the-vote-of-people-who-dont-support-gop/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">tantamount</span></a> to “black disenfranchisement,” and continues to run the most racially polarized DOJ in recent history.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Even worse, both men have <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obama-headline-al-sharptons-nan-conference"><span style="color: #1255cc;">unduly elevated</span></a> the status of race huckster Al Sharpton, showing up at National Action Network (NAN) galas to sing his praises. That odious reality is tantamount to a Republican president showing up at a meeting of the <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/52672"><span style="color: #1255cc;">European-American Unity and Rights Organization</span></a> and singing the praises of its white supremacist founder, David Duke. The fact that such as comparison is never made obscures the depths of the racial polarization embraced by the nations’s top two law enforcement officials. It is both an ongoing tragedy and a national disgrace that will only be assuaged when Sharpton and every other person who profits from the misery of millions is ejected from the national stage.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Until then, America will seethe. Well-meaning Americans on both sides of the color line will tread warily, remaining ultimately distrustful of each other, lest they be branded sellouts to “the cause.&#8221; The mob and its media enablers will continue to foment violence, looting, death and destruction, based largely on the notion that such mayhem is a “reasonable” price to be extracted from an irredeemably racist nation in need of “fundamental transformation.” One family will mourn for a son who could not resist the siren song of thug culture, while another family will continue to live in terror perhaps forever, or at least until the mob finds another bogeyman at whom it can channel its orchestrated blood-lust. The thin blue line that separates America from the anarchists will be stretched to its limits.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">And the promise of a post-racial society that once propelled this president into the White House now more closely resembles the division and racialist bean-counting that epitomizes the community organizer mindset. In short, hope and change is going up in flames in Ferguson, MO.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Damn the evidence. Full speed ahead.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/wr.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239340" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/wr-413x350.jpg" alt="wr" width="273" height="231" /></a>The cop-hating radical lawyers of Eric Holder&#8217;s Justice Department are reportedly continuing to feed the passions of the lynch mob in Ferguson, Mo., that is screaming for the blood of the white cop who shot and killed a young black man earlier this month in what now almost certainly appears to be an act of self-defense.</p>
<p>A white police officer&#8217;s racism, an allegation for which there is no evidence whatsoever, supposedly caused the unfortunate incident. But the leftists who run the federal government need this. They want it badly. A police officer has to be sacrificed to appease Democrats&#8217; political base and to help fend off an increasingly likely Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate in November.</p>
<p>Federal civil rights charges may be in the works against Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot Michael Brown after an intense physical altercation that left Wilson with severe head injuries.</p>
<p>The feds may simply <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/ex-doj-official-federal-charges-coming-in-ferguson/">ignore</a> local authorities and go forward with a case against Wilson, says Hans von Spakovsky, who worked in the Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Rights Division under President George W. Bush. He is currently a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and is co-author of the recently published <em>Obama</em><em>’</em><em>s Enforcer: Eric Holder</em><em>’</em><em>s Justice Department</em>.</p>
<p>“Eric Holder has completely politicized the Justice Department,” von Spakovsky told WND&#8217;s Greg Corombos. “As we can see, unfortunately, this is happening in other places like the Travis County (Texas) D.A.’s office&#8221; that charged Texas Gov. Rick Perry with a crime for threatening to veto legislation.</p>
<p>&#8220;That should concern every American,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don’t care what their political background is because that is a threat to everyone’s liberty and everyone’s freedom when that kind of power is used for political purposes.”</p>
<p>Von Spakovsky said,</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am fearful that they will try to pursue a federal case even if there’s no evidence to justify it, because of the fact that they really see everything, including Eric Holder, through the prism of race even when race is not a factor in a case or an incident.”</p></blockquote>
<p>It is true that left-wing zealots who believe as an article of faith that America is racist insist, despite mounting exculpatory evidence, that Brown was <em>murdered</em> by a white policeman. They will not be dissuaded no matter how much proof accumulates that the officer fired on Brown because he believed his life was in danger.</p>
<p>Holder&#8217;s visit came as the Left&#8217;s narrative that the nearly 300-lbs. Brown, who had just robbed a convenience store minutes before encountering decorated policeman Darren Wilson, was an innocent gentle giant trying to surrender, continues to circle the drain. More witnesses are reportedly coming forward to identify Brown as the aggressor in a vicious attack on Wilson in which he tried to grab the gun of the six-year veteran of the Ferguson police force.</p>
<p>It is clear that the violent mob actions of the nearly two week-old freak show in Ferguson don&#8217;t actually bother Holder, who it seems safe to say is only feigning disapproval of the rampant criminality there. This shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone who understands the Left. Mob rule, that is Marxist mobocracy, is the model of governance preferred by Marxist community organizers like Barack Obama. Civil unrest is an opportunity, not a tragedy. The more bodies, the better.</p>
<p>The Department of Justice has become a racial-grievance incubator since President Obama was sworn in.</p>
<p>Obama <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/matthew-vadum/mumia-abu-jamals-lawyer-to-obamas-justice-department/">tried to install</a> cop-killer advocate Debo Adegbile as the head of the DoJ&#8217;s Civil Rights Division whose ambulance-chasing radical attorneys are now looking for trouble on the ground in Ferguson. Adegbile is a race-obsessed lawyer who, when he was head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, tried to permanently free unrepentant cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, now a black leftist folk hero.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mumia,&#8221; as his fans call him, has parlayed his 1981 murder of white Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner into a career behind bars. Born Wesley Cook, the former Black Panther enjoys celebrity status on the Left and is a frequent guest speaker (via recorded audio) at college commencement ceremonies.</p>
<p>Adegbile’s nomination, which was rejected by the Senate earlier this year, was &#8220;an in-the-face appointment,” according to J. Christian Adams.</p>
<p>While at the NAACP&#8217;s legal arm, the organization became increasingly radical, opposing criminal-background checks by employers and pushing extreme racial-hiring quotas. “They took positions far outside of the mainstream of the law, far outside existing jurisprudence as it relates to race, and really advanced a fringe agenda,” Adams said previously. “If he attempts to do the same at the Justice Department, it will be a catastrophe.”</p>
<p>Adegbile appeared to be an adherent of Critical Race Theory, the multiculturalist Left’s race-obsessed spinoff of critical legal theory. Federal appeals judge Richard Posner has described critical race theorists as the “lunatic core” of “radical legal egalitarianism.” They believe that the white-dominated American system is hopelessly racist. To remedy this imbalance, non-whites should be given preferential treatment, they say.</p>
<p>Although they would never say it in public, Holder and his ilk believe that obviously guilty defendants like Abu-Jamal should go free if there is police abuse or racial discrimination in their communities. Holder is an ideologue who believes that the legal system should be used to dispense favors to non-whites. White Americans, he feels, should be treated as second-class citizens in order to make up for America’s past racial injustices, real or perceived.</p>
<p>Adegbile had been nominated to replace the notorious Thomas Perez, a radical who was barely confirmed by the Senate as labor secretary on a strict party line vote of 54 to 46. As the nation’s top civil rights enforcer at the Department of Justice, Perez refused to prosecute hate crimes committed against white Americans. He was reportedly instrumental in the Justice Department’s dismissal of a case involving two members of the New Black Panther Party who intimidated white voters in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008.</p>
<p>Perez helped to enact the Church Arson Prevention Act, which was based on the false premise that black churches were being targeted with disproportionate frequency by arsonists. He targeted Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, for legal harassment because he doesn’t like Arpaio’s tough-on-crime approach, especially with respect to illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Lawyers from the Criminal Section of the Department of Justice&#8217;s (DoJ) Civil Rights Division are working behind the scenes, fanning the flames, trying to figure out how to stick it to the accused policeman.</p>
<p>J. Christian Adams of PJ Media said his organization <a href="http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2014/08/20/radical-doj-unit-ferguson/">had to sue</a> Holder to get the resumes of the attorneys who work for the Criminal Section.</p>
<p>It turned out that &#8220;all of Holder’s attorney hires were leftists, some even with a history of anti-police activities,&#8221; said Adams, a Justice Department whistle-blower who chronicled the vicious racial politics of the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division in his bestselling book, <em>Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why does it matter that the DOJ unit that will investigate the Ferguson police is stacked with leftists and ideologues?&#8221; Adams writes. &#8220;Because anti-police biases of lawyers in this unit have resulted in gross prosecutorial misconduct against police officers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is one example. Federal prosecutors desperate to nail New Orleans cops on flimsy civil rights charges have surreptitiously used social media &#8220;to circumvent ethical obligations, professional responsibilities, and even to commit violations of the Code of Federal Regulations,&#8221; a judge found.</p>
<p>A prosecutor in the case, identified as Karla Dobinski, egged on other anonymous bloggers who “repeatedly posted vigorous pro-prosecution statements strongly condemning the defendants, their witnesses, and their entire defense.”</p>
<p>Remember that the DoJ under Holder <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2011/12/19/DOJ-Conspiring-with-ACORN-Connected-Project-Vote">has also collaborated</a> with the ACORN-affiliated Project Vote to weaken electoral integrity laws.</p>
<p>To the Left, the ends justify the means.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the so-called protesters that the media say have been peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights, have been <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/ferguson-dont-shoot-were-throwing-bottles-of-urine/">throwing</a> bottles of urine, presumably from humans, at the police in Ferguson. It&#8217;s a biohazard, a biochemical weapons attack of sorts, given that cytomegalovirus (CMV, also known as herpes) can be transmitted through contact with urine, according to medical literature. At least they&#8217;re not hurling pathogen-rich fecal projectiles, as their Occupy Wall Street brethren did.</p>
<p>Eager to consult with his comrades, the attorney general borrowed Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s jet and visited the St. Louis suburb Wednesday in what was billed as an attempt to restore calm to a community that has erupted in almost daily violence since Michael Brown, an 18-year old black man, was shot Aug. 9 by a white police officer. Brown has been beatified by the media. Canonization can&#8217;t be far off.</p>
<p>And what an extraordinarily unusual thing it is for a U.S. attorney general to personally visit the site of an alleged civil rights violation. It&#8217;s as if the investigation of the killing of a violent teenaged criminal were somehow equivalent to FBI&#8217;s &#8220;Mississippi Burning&#8221; probe of the 1964 &#8220;Freedom Summer&#8221; murder of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, three out-of-state voter registration canvassers whose bodies were found in Neshoba County, Miss.</p>
<p>But the hype &#8211;and the prospect of distracting from the Obama administration&#8217;s daily debacles, both domestic and abroad&#8211; makes Ferguson irresistible.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s as if there has been a coordinated public relations campaign conducted, perhaps stage-managed by someone like <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=814">David Fenton</a>, a progressive Joseph Goebbels for the modern age. He may very well be behind some or all of this. Fenton, after all, frequently represents dangerous subversives such as the ladies of Code Pink. His public relations firm also counts some in-your-face Alinskyite groups as clients, including Americans for Financial Reform (founded by the neo-communist community organizer trainer <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2011/matthew-vadum/union-gangsters-heather-booth/">Heather Booth</a>), Center for Community Change, Health Care for America Now (or HCAN, an ACORN-led coalition that helped force Obamacare on the nation), and the gangsterish Service Employees International Union (SEIU).</p>
<p>Regardless of who helped invent and cultivate the image of Michael Brown as a martyr, Holder is hoping his efforts regarding the case in Ferguson will harness all the negative energy generated by the Brown saga and channel it into producing change that no sane American would ever want.</p>
<p>With 40 FBI agents reportedly on the ground doing Holder&#8217;s bidding, and who knows how many other DoJ employees lurking around and stirring the pot, the natural anti-police prejudices of left-wingers across the nation are quickly hardening into dogma. As each day passes, the white police officer, Darren Wilson, is increasingly vilified by howling demagogues. You&#8217;re a terrible person if you don&#8217;t believe Wilson is a murderer, the Left says. The unhinged left-wing governor of Missouri, Democrat Jay Nixon, has joined the mob, demanding charges be laid against the cop right now even in the absence of incriminating evidence.</p>
<p>Despite this mass hysteria, the streets of Ferguson have been relatively calm since Holder&#8217;s visit, reports say. This outbreak of serenity that caps nearly a fortnight of tumult is likely attributable to the fact that Holder was there promising goodies to the assembled neo-communists and racial grievance mongers, his longtime political allies. Something, anything, must be done.</p>
<p>Holder doesn&#8217;t care that white racism or police racism directed at blacks isn&#8217;t much of a problem in the United States today.</p>
<p>In fact Americans, including blacks, tend to believe that blacks are more racist than whites and Hispanics, according to <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/03/majority-of-americans-feel-blacks-are-more-racist-than-whites-and-hispanics/?">polling</a>. Blacks&#8217; racial antagonism, which President Obama has deliberately exacerbated, is the elephant in the room.</p>
<p>This makes it easy for the Left to perpetuate the ugly urban myth that white cops routinely use blacks for target practice. This also shuts down discussion of the toxic racism and the inner-city pathologies that tragically infect the African-American community. The politically correct say we&#8217;re not allowed to talk about these things &#8212; unless we toe the PC line.</p>
<p>Blinded by his zeal, on Wednesday, Holder <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/20/eric-holder-ferguson-shooting_n_5696164.html">presided</a> over an orgy of genteel, media-friendly cop-hating at meetings with Ferguson residents that were organized by the professional agitators of the DoJ&#8217;s Community Relations Service (CRS) office.</p>
<p>CRS has become the community organizing arm of the DoJ under Holder. Two years ago CRS staffers visited Sanford, Fla., in an effort to rub raw the sores of discontent after Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black youth, was killed during a physical confrontation with community crime watch volunteer George Zimmerman. For a month and a half after Martin’s death, local police declined to press charges against Zimmerman, who was ultimately acquitted of murder, because they believed quite correctly that the criminal case against him was weak. CRS used taxpayer resources to help organize marches in which participants heightened racial tensions and loudly demanded that Zimmerman be prosecuted.</p>
<p>Underneath Holder&#8217;s words during his Ferguson whistle stop was an ideology-driven presumption that the white cop is racist and guilty of murdering Michael Brown.</p>
<p>One can almost imagine Holder raising his fist in a black power salute the next day in the nation&#8217;s capital when he mawkishly announced that the DoJ would &#8220;continue to stand with Ferguson&#8221; and that &#8220;few things have affected me as greatly as my trip to Ferguson.&#8221; Why he would have to <em>stand with</em> the people of Ferguson when he is only supposed to be conducting an impartial investigation of a potential crime is unclear.</p>
<p>On Wednesday Holder told Ferguson residents that the “eyes of the nation and the world” are on the township and that the issues raised by Brown&#8217;s death have been simmering “beneath the surface in more communities than just Ferguson.”</p>
<p>Holder spoke to students at a community college and said it was an “opportunity to sit down with some wonderful young people and to hear them talk about the mistrust they have at a young age.” Holder said change would not take place overnight, the Huffington Post reported, paraphrasing a meeting attendee.</p>
<p>Holder said to the students that he understands &#8220;the mistrust&#8221; between some residents and law enforcement. “I am the attorney general of the United States, but I am also a black man,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Holder recalled how in the past police had pulled him over on the New Jersey Turnpike, accused him of speeding and searched his vehicle. &#8220;I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The same kid who got stopped on the New Jersey freeway is now the attorney general of the United States,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This country is capable of change. But change doesn&#8217;t happen by itself.&#8221;</p>
<p>After a meeting Angela Whitman told reporters that Holder told her &#8220;that he was here because he was concerned about everything that was going on and he wanted us to voice our opinions and what did we want to change, and that he was going back to the White House to report so we can get some funding, so we can get a game plan on how to help our community.&#8221;</p>
<p>Holder told students that together they were initiating “a good dialogue” but that it was “not enough.”</p>
<p>“We need concrete action to change things in this country,” he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This dialogue is important. But it can&#8217;t simply be that we have a conversation that begins based on what happened on August 9 and ends sometime in December, and nothing happens. As I was just telling these young people, change is possible. The same kid who got stopped on the New Jersey freeway is now the attorney general of the United States. This country is capable of change. But change doesn&#8217;t happen by itself.”</p>
<p>Indeed it doesn&#8217;t. It needs people who hate America to grease the wheels.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The beginning of getting Ferguson right is to call it by its right name.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ferguson-protests.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239175" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ferguson-protests-450x253.jpg" alt="ferguson-protests" width="288" height="162" /></a>Why isn’t anyone speaking the most obvious and most disturbing truth about what has been taking place in Ferguson? This is a lynch mob. It is unconcerned with the facts, impatient with due process, and it wants a severely injured officer who is probably the victim of a vicious criminal thug, indicted, tried and convicted or else. And the reason it wants him convicted is that he is white. This lynch mob even wants the prosecutor removed because his father was the victim of a black criminal 50 years ago.</p>
<p>This thuggery would be seen as classic lynch mob behavior except that it is composed mainly of blacks and its leaders include the Democrat Attorney General of the United States and the Democratic Governor the state of Missouri (on second thought this not so unusual). The mob is inflamed and abetted by an anti-white media that accepts the unfounded, actually ludicrous idea that unarmed black teens are regularly shot down in the streets by white police officers who are protected by a white supremacist power structure. As Bill O’Reilly courageously pointed out, there are approximately 12 million arrests every year in America and only 400 police shootings – and how many of these inspire criminal riots in the streets? Moreover, as O’Reilly did not mention, crime statistics show that a white person is 25 <em>times</em> more likely to be the victim of a violent crime committed by a black person than vice versa.</p>
<p>What is truly remarkable about the nation’s tolerance for the new lynch mobs is that they have lasted for decades without drawing an appropriate moral disapprobation. Here are three recent cases: The destruction of the career and fortune of Paula Deen, a white supporter of President Obama, over a remark she made to her husband in private after being mugged by a black criminal twenty-five years earlier; the public lynching of three innocent Duke LaCrosse players, also led by Sharpton and Jackson, the nation’s most notorious lynch mob leaders; the rush to judgment and demand for conviction and punishment of George Zimmerman, falsely portrayed as a “white Hispanic” to make him culpable. And one could go on and on.</p>
<p>The truth is that American culture has been tragically warped by the political left, which fervently believes that whites are guilty before the fact and blacks are innocent even after the fact. The chief law enforcement officer of the land has shown himself to be a devotee of this creed, over and over. The racial morality play of white supremacy and black oppression is perhaps the most crucial melodrama the left lives by, and can’t give up. But conservatives are also too timid and apparently too haunted by guilts of the increasingly distant past to fight back.</p>
<p>All this has created an ongoing spectacle that encourages the criminal violence from blacks that we are witnessing in the streets of Ferguson, and the obscene libels that are issuing from the mouths of so-called civil rights leaders, Democratic officials and MSNBC radicals targeting white people. In truth, white people, who recently elected and re-elected the first black president, are far more put upon and victimized by black thugs like Michael Brown than they are models for the racially vicious caricatures contrived by the leftwing lobby and its lynch-happy followers.</p>
<p>It is time for this corrosive and destructive mythology to be challenged by more Americans than just Bill O’Reilly and (less forthrightly) the Fox network. It is time for people who think of themselves as liberals to liberate themselves from the false narratives of white culpability and black innocence and start judging people as individuals and assessing them through the facts. It’s time for Americans to return to the traditions that created this pluralistic miracle, the fairest and most equitable nation in history. It was the principles of the American founding that inspired Martin Luther King and gave birth to the Civil Rights Acts which ended racial categories and preferences in America’s institutional life until the political left and the Democratic Party started putting them back in. The emergence of a civil rights movement that behaves like a lynch mob is integrally related to the tolerance of racial arsonists like Jackson and Sharpton and to lawless, racist mobs that will only be satisfied by a pound of white flesh.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Celebrity chef Paula Deen loses her television career and many millions over a word in private with her husband. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pd.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-194505" alt="pd" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pd.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></a>Celebrity chef Paula Deen is a Georgia-based restaurateur, a self-made woman and national celebrity who has published fourteen cookbooks and hosted popular TV cooking shows on the Food Network for more than a decade. Known for her gregarious personality and folksy southern charm, Deen has performed charity work on behalf of poor people and minorities across the United States. She has donated massive quantities of food, money, and time to Second Harvest, an organization that distributes grocery products to the poor. She has given large donations to, and held fundraisers for, Blessings in a Backpack—a program that feeds elementary-school children from low-income families. This year she created the Bag Lady Foundation to <a href="http://www.thebraiser.com/paula-deen-starts-charity-foundation-for-women-and-children-in-poverty/">help</a> women and children in financial need. In each of these cases, a substantial percentage of the beneficiaries of Deen’s generosity have been African Americans. But thanks to a malicious law-suit, Deen’s irrepressible candor, and a nation-wide vilification campaign conducted by a civil rights lynch mob, she has been tarred and feathered as a “racist.” As a result, she is out of a job and out of pocket many millions of dollars in business revenues lost.</p>
<p>The campaign against Deen was triggered by a couple of answers she inadvisedly volunteered during a private deposition last <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/21/paula-deen-fired-food-network-cancels-show-after-racism-scandal_n_3480517.html">month</a>. The deposition was part of a $1.2 million <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/paula-deen-says-in-lawsuit-questioning-that-she-has-used-racial-slur-but-doesnt-tolerate-hate/2013/06/19/4890f93e-d91d-11e2-b418-9dfa095e125d_story.html">discrimination</a>/<a href="http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2012/03/paula-deen-named-in-sexual-harassment-lawsuit/">sexual-harassment</a> lawsuit filed against her by a disgruntled former employee named Lisa Jackson. Jackson, a white woman, had managed a Savannah seafood restaurant owned by Deen and her brother. According to Jackson, the working environment at the restaurant was permeated by sexual innuendos and racial slurs. During her deposition, Paula Deen was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/21/paula-deen-fired-food-network-cancels-show-after-racism-scandal_n_3480517.html">asked</a> by Jackson’s attorney if she herself had “ever used the N-word.” A person sensitive to the toxic environment civil rights vigilantes have created for white Americans—and particularly southerners—would have said “No,” particularly since Deen had never used the word in the course of her business. But Paula Deen is a transparently decent person, dangerously innocent of the racial mine fields into which the suit had transported her.</p>
<p>Instead of “No,” or “I don’t recall ever having used that word,” she replied, “Yes, of course.” She then explained that it happened a “<a href="http://www.tmz.com/2013/06/19/paula-deen-n-word-racist-deposition-sexual-harassment-oyster-house/3/#comments-anchor">very long time</a>” ago. When asked for details, she said she had used the word in 1986 while recounting to her husband how she had been held up earlier that day by a black gunman at the bank where she was employed. In other words, she used the word in a private conversation with her husband twenty-seven years ago. She also admitted to telling or tolerating “<a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/06/20/193913397/stuff-you-might-have-missed-in-the-paula-deen-brouhaha">off-colored jokes</a>” of the kind that “we have all told.” (Indeed, TV comedians like Lisa Lampanelli have made racial humor their stock-in-trade, as have black comedians since Richard Pryor – but the butts of their jokes are white.) “But,” Deen added, that’s just not a word that we use as time has gone on. Things have changed since the ’60s in the South. And my children and my brother object to that word being used in any cruel or mean behavior. As well as I do.” If Paula Deen is a racist, every white, black, brown and yellow person in America is a racist too.</p>
<p>But that didn’t make any difference to the racial media vultures all the way from tabloids like the <i>National Enquirer</i> to publications of the elite culture like <i>Salon</i> and the <i>New York Times</i>. It began with an <i>Enquirer</i> story based on leaks by Jackson or her lawyer of Deen’s answers in her deposition. The <em>Enquirer</em> editors broke what they called a “bombshell revelation” of the chef&#8217;s “<a href="http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/world-exclusive-cover-story-paula-deen-racist-confessions">shocking racial scandal</a>.” The credulous embrace of this <i>Enquirer</i> bombast, which normally would garner sneers from the arbiters of the mainstream culture, shows how in today’s poisoned racial atmosphere a gutter tabloid can become the gold standard on such matters. Instantaneously a derisive liberal clatter spread across the Twitterverse becoming fodder for the stories that followed. Without a shred of evidence, the Internet magazine <i>Salon</i> condemned “Deen’s <a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/06/21/why_hasnt_paula_deen_apologized/">history</a> of casual, clueless racism,” portraying her “hurtful and demeaning” attitudes as reflections of America’s “stunning national glut of racial ignorance.” (More likely this characterization itself reflected the stunning lack of self-awareness of leftist character assassins as they go about their nasty business.)</p>
<p>An equally prejudiced commentary in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-talk-glanton-paula-deen-20130625,0,4392067.story">explained</a> that, “poking fun at minorities comes naturally” to southerners, among whom “ignorance has been passed down through generations.” A <i>Los Angeles Times</i> column <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-paula-deen-racist-20130621,0,6657148.story">lectured</a> that, “the racist attitudes that foster” Deen&#8217;s use of the N-word are “unacceptable,” and one in the <i>New York Times</i> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/25/opinion/bruni-paulas-worst-ingredients.html?_r=0">referred to her</a> as “Paula the Deep-Fried Boor.” Black Entertainment Television then proposed to read Deen’s mind, lamenting that her “dreams of antebellum paradise” are <a href="http://www.bet.com/news/national/2013/06/20/commentary-paula-deen-longs-for-days-of-old-and-she-s-not-alone.html">symptomatic</a> of the fact that “the desire to turn the clock back is very much in fashion now.” For this absurd comment it adduced the evidence of recent efforts to pass “restrictive voter identification laws that would have made it more cumbersome for Black and Latino people to go to the polls.” The restrictive laws in question would require all Americans, including minorities, to use the same IDs they might use for purchasing a car or a house, or securing a motel room, or getting a driver’s license, or receiving food stamps and other welfare benefits as the case might be.</p>
<p>But it was on Twitter that the only racism that is privileged to express itself in the nation’s media enjoyed a field day as countless compassionless wiseacres <a href="http://breakingbrown.com/2013/06/8-most-hilarious-tweets-turning-paula-deens-racism-into-recipes-paulasbestdishes/">turned</a> the <a href="http://bostonherald.com/inside_track/celebrity_news/2013/06/deen_says_she_used_slur_but_doesnt_tolerate_hate">name</a> of Deen&#8217;s TV show—<i>Paula’s Best Dishes</i>—into a <a href="http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/Jun/19/paula-deen-racism-scandal-recipe-paulasbestdishes/">hashtag</a> parlor game with made-up recipes like “Back-of-the-Bus Biscuits,” “Some of My Best Friends Are Black-Eyed Peas,” “Separate but Equal Light &amp; Dark Meat,” “3/5ths of a Flan,” “Hooded White Sheet Cake,” “Massa-Roni and Cheese,” “&#8217;Lettuce From a Birmingham Jail,” and “Key Lynch Pie.” This amusement at the expense of a woman whose lifetime of work and achievement was going up in flames only added fuel to the fires. Nor could the usual mob leaders pass on this one. Jesse Jackson even <a href="http://www.thecoastalsource.com/2013/06/22/tourists-and-reverend-jesse-jackson-respond-to-paula-deen-controversy/">dispatched</a> an attorney to Georgia to investigate the situation, as his Rainbow/PUSH organization rushed to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/23/paula-deen-scandal-continues-employees-tell-rainbow-push-alleged-discrimination_n_3484607.html">judge, convict and execute</a> Deen for “systemic racial discrimination and harassment,” again in the absence of any facts.</p>
<p>The unseemly outrage over a 27-year-old private conversation between a wife and her husband, contrasted sharply with the boundless tolerance her attackers showed for expressions of <i>black</i> racism that are not confined to private exchanges. Award-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson, for example, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/11/barack-obama-samuel-l-jackson/?adid=hero2#.TzgdXiNqNWM">boasted</a> last year that he had “voted for Barack [Obama] because he was black,” justifying his bigotry by alleging that whites only vote for whites (or for blacks who act like whites): “When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a nigger. Because, what’s a nigger? A nigger is scary.” No noticeable consequences followed on Jackson’s public confession of disdain for the white people who had just elected Obama. Unlike Deen he did not lose any lucrative commercial opportunities, but without a hitch continued as the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/17/samuel-l-jackson-iphone-commercial-video_n_1430054.html">spokesman</a> for Apple’s popular iPhone. But then, being black and protected, Jackson had not been the target of a massive smear campaign either, so there were no business repercussions for Apple to consider. Nor have notorious racial arsonists like Al Sharpton — responsible for the deaths of seven victims of his racial incitements and currently an MSNBC anchor — suffered any apparent adversities for their serious malfeasances in a “sensitive” area.</p>
<p>As for Paula Deen, she is only one of several victims of public lynchings of non-blacks in the last few years. It hasn&#8217;t been that long since a black drug addict and petty criminal nearly succeeded in destroying the lives of three upstanding members of the Duke University lacrosse team whose only crime was being white. Accused by a discreditable street source of having raped and sodomized her during an off-campus party, the young men were <a href="http://articles.philly.com/2006-04-20/sports/25395256_1_collin-finnerty-district-attorney-mike-nifong-reade-seligmann">thrown out of school</a>, demonized in the press, and publicly denounced by 88 politically correct <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/List%20of%20Gang%20of%2088%20Duke%20Professors3.html">members</a> of the Duke faculty as the heirs of slave-owners and white rapists of the past. Fortunately, the victims were able to hire lawyers, and after a year of abuse in the national media were able to clear themselves and begin to put their lives back together.</p>
<p>A similar display of attitudes recalling the cracker South of 60 years ago greeted the first news of the case involving Trayvon Martin, who was shot by a Neighborhood Watch guard named George Zimmerman in Florida. Immediately a progressive chorus began shrilling for Zimmerman’s head, although the facts were far from known, let alone adjudicated by a jury of his peers. The fact that a black man was involved as a possible victim was enough to produce an orgy of ugly accusations of white racism—even though Zimmerman was Hispanic and partly black and had to be recast as a “<i>white</i> Hispanic” to make the melodrama work. Martin himself had to be converted from a thuggish 6-foot teen who had been in trouble with the law into a horse-riding 12-year-old innocent, as virtually every media image represented him.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-trayvon-martin-case-jesse-jackson-20120323,0,2131299.story">According to</a> race hustlers like Jesse Jackson, “blacks [were] under attack,” “killing us is big business,” and it was time for “justice.” Celebrities like Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, P. Diddy, Jamie Foxx, and Arsenio Hall <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/slideshow/tributes-tweets-pour-support-trayvon-martin-16015159">tweeted</a> expressions of outrage to their millions of fans. Celebrities Spike Lee and <a href="http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/03/30/celebs-speak-out-on-trayvon-martin-case-use-twitter-to-post-private-information-of-george-zimmerman-and-family/">Roseanne Barr</a> went a bridge further and <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/spike-lee-retweets-george-zimmermans-home-address/">tweeted</a> Zimmerman’s home address, perhaps hoping that some outraged lunatic might exact the revenge they were apparently seeking. While the trial of George Zimmerman is just beginning, the public verdict is pre-determined. If Zimmerman is not found guilty of second-degree murder, racism will have triumphed.</p>
<p>Ultimately, it wasn’t an Al Sharpton or a Jesse Jackson who destroyed the public career of Paula Deen. It was the lynch mob that the civil rights movement has become and that has turned its values upside down. These are manifest in the orgies of venomous self-righteousness that rise to the surface every time an opportunity presents itself to dramatize a problem that was effectively put to rest a generation ago. Yes, there are racists among us and no doubt always will be. But they are not simply white, and they do not limit their poisonous words to private conversations with their husbands in closeted circumstances twenty-seven years in the past.</p>

<p>Is anybody else out there as sick and tired as I am of lynch mob racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (vide: Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse kids) who don the mantel of the “civil rights” movement to indict non-blacks in advance of the facts, and incite racial rage against them? Yet that is exactly what they – and scores of black leaders &#8212; are doing to an Hispanic individual named George Zimmerman. Along with a cast of thousands, they are holding him guilty of racism before the fact, justifying a hatred, as inflammatory as the hatred once spewed by southern crackers against blacks.</p>
<p>There is no evidence whatsoever that race was a defining factor in the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Notwithstanding the absence of evidence, this unhappy incident is now the occasion for school shut-downs, mass marches and public death threats by enraged African Americans, displaying behaviors reminiscent of the lynch mobs that were once a scourge of their parents’ generation in a now rejected past.</p>
<p>The facts surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin have not been investigated and are still uncertain. But the lynch mob has delivered its verdict: George Zimmerman is guilty of a race crime; Trayvon Martin was killed because he was black. “Trayvon is the Emmett Till of our generation,” said one mob leader, referring to the 12-year-old who was murdered by white racists in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.</p>
<p>There is no verifiable evidence for this fact-challenged, inflammatory, claim. According to the lone eyewitness to come forward, it was Martin who attacked Zimmerman and was on top of him and beating him to a pulp when the fatal shot was fired. The fact that Zimmerman’s face was bloody when the police arrived, is an apparent corroboration of this version of the event. Is this what happened? We don’t know. But it is a claim that should get tested in a court of law. Unfortunately to a lynch mob the evidence is irrelevant, the conclusion foregone.</p>
<p>If the demonstrators were merely calling for an investigation that would be proper. But the cries for retribution, and the accusations of racism, which dominate the public demonstrations are not. And that goes for the statement of the President as well. Not willing to be separated from his racial constituency, even when they are behaving badly, Obama has lent his prestige to the insinuation that the crime was inspired by the victim’s race. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention the fact that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” Everyone who has a son should be concerned by the loss of this life. By making it racial, the president is establishing guilt without evidence, and indicting non-black America as well.</p>
<p>The display of racial outrage over this case is a national disgrace. It is a throwback to the past and a shameful repudiation of the values the civil rights movement once stood for but apparently does no longer.</p>
