'Racists' aged THREE: Toddlers among thousands of children accused of bigotry after name-calling

By Kate Loveys

14th September 2011

Teachers are branding thousands of children racist or homophobic following playground squabbles.

More than 20,000 pupils aged 11 or younger were last year put on record for so-called hate crimes such as using the word ‘gaylord’.

Some of them are even from nursery schools where children are no older than three.

Accused: More than 20,000 pupils under the age of 11 have been reported for racist or homophobic comments in the last year - with the offence being kept on their records (File picture)

One youngster was accused of being racist for calling a boy ‘broccoli head’ and another was said to be homophobic for telling a teacher ‘this work is gay’.

Two primary school children were reported for homophobia after quarrelling over a rubber and calling each other ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian’.

Those youngsters reported for petty offences at nursery classes included four in the London borough of Tower Hamlets and three in Hertfordshire.

Turning the Tide: The Eccentric’s Memorial Day Weekend Review

Blake Walley, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Since there were so many exciting stories and developments this week, I’ve decided that I just can’t focus on only one issue this time. So in case you weren’t paying attention to the news this week, I’m going to get you up to speed on several issues you may have missed:

First off, it’s official! The “birther” story is finally getting really interesting!

Sorry Obama fans, but just when you thought the “birther” issue was over and done, it’s now looking like we could actually be seeing the unfolding of the next Watergate.

Critical thinking question of the day: Let’s pretend that the whole Obama/birth certificate story never happened… in real life. Instead, let’s pretend that the exact same story was turned into a movie, and you were at the theater watching it. Okay, so there you are at the theater, the show begins, and in a synopsis: a new “president” gets elected even though he apparently never showed his official birth certificate. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound that worrisome just yet, but on his first day in office, he signs a suspicious executive order regarding the sealing of presidential records.

Okay, now that’s a bit odd, but the story only continues to get weirder. You see because later, it gets pointed out that there’s still no proof that the president has an official birth certificate; and possibly because of that, rumors start floating around that two million dollars have been spent to keep the issue secret. Now that might not be true, but wouldn’t you think, “Hey, he’s the frickin president of the United States! Couldn’t he just order someone to just get the stupid birth certificate and simply just have it flown to him… that same afternoon?” No, apparently that would be too simple and make too much sense. But then things continue to get crazier….

Of course one of the significant developments turned out to be the governors race from the president’s home state. Significant because Neil Abercrombie (one of the candidates) claimed (in regards to the birth certificate issue); ”has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.” But after Abercrombie wins the election however, guess what? It turns out that he can’t gain access to the certificate either! Then when an investigative reporter named Wayne Madsen begins looking into the president’s Chicago history, he receives death threats to stop!

Now I know by now you must be thinking; “come on dude, that sounds like a really horrible movie… something like that could never happen in real life!”

But then from out of nowhere comes mega-mogul Donald Trump claiming, “Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? The fact is, if he wasn’t born in this country, he shouldn’t be the president of the United States…” However just when you thought the Donald was going to be the guy to finally put this ridiculous issue to rest, the White House mercifully decided to save everyone the trouble, and finally released it. Story’s over? Not so fast….

Because after inspection, it appears that the “official birth certificate” might now be a total forgery! In fact there is a possibility that criminal charges will actually be filed against the White House. And even crazier yet, Donald Trump might actually have been in cahoots with Obama the whole time.

So we just went from a worsening B movie script to a Hollywood blockbuster! You just can’t make this stuff up.

Here, let’s get to one of the key interviews:



Don’t get me wrong, though, because I’ve never really had that strong of an opinion on the whole birther fiasco anyway. I mean is anyone out there really hopeful about Joe Biden? Right, me neither…

THEY DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME ...

(what a perfect web has been woven! . . . do you seek truth? . . . can you de-bunk this? . . . imo, Lucifer has several sources of minions to carry out his plan, but a huge source is right here . . . Rothschild Zionism . . .

Here is a picture of Baroness' Philippine de Rothschild, with some special neckware, for example . . . )

... ROTHSCHILD ZIONISM

But to understand the financial crisis, 9/11 and so much more, it must be spoken constantly. As we begin a new year, amid ever-gathering global tyranny, this information is vital for everyone to know.

By David Icke - Davidicke.com

I have written and spoken extensively about the agenda behind the unfolding global financial crisis and here I will expose the coordinating force, or at least the prime one, behind that agenda and so much else, including 9/11.

Most conspiracy researchers either don't realise the fundamental significance of this network or are too frightened to say so if they do. Sod that.

It is widely known as Zionism or, as I call it, more accurately, I suggest ... Rothschild Zionism. I add the 'Rothschild' to constantly emphasise the true creators of Zionism and its controllers to this day (see Human Race Get Off Your Knees).

I'll explain the connection later to the gathering economic catastrophe, but some background is necessary to put it all in the context that it needs to be seen.

Ask most people about Zionism and they will say 'that's the Jews', but while this is the impression the Rothschild networks in politics and the media have sought very successfully to 'sell' as 'common knowledge', it is not true. It represents only a minority of them and many others who are not Jewish.

Rothschild Zionism in its public expression is a political ideology based on a homeland for Jewish people in Palestine and a belief that the Jews are God's 'chosen race' with a God-given right to the 'promised land' of Israel (historically this is nonsense, as I show in my books)

They also believe that the real borders of Israel must encompass what is now Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank still officially owned by the Palestinians, plus Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Jordan, or, as Genesis puts it: '... from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates'.

That's the public expression of Zionism, but at its inner core it is a secret society created and controlled by the House of Rothschild.

They have sought to sell the 'Zionism-means-all-Jewish-people' lie so that they can condemn as 'anti-Semites' and 'racists' anyone who exposes the truth about Rothschild Zionism and its agents in government, banking, business, media, military etc.

This is why most researchers won't go there even if they are aware enough to know that they should go there. To uncover and expose what is happening in the world we need all the 'bees' - brain, backbone, balls - and never more so than now.

Oh yeah, and add consciousness if you want to see how deep the rabbit hole really goes beyond five-sense reality.

Racism is the ultimate ignorance in that it relates 'self' to the body instead of the Consciousness - Awareness - animating and experiencing through the body. It is like judging a man by his spacesuit instead of the person inside it.

So racists are ridiculous, juvenile and silly, but no way is the threat of being branded as one (they have already tried and failed) going to stop me exposing what must be exposed if the Control System is to fall.

The world's most extreme racists are, after all, the Rothschild Zionists, anyway. Israel is an apartheid state every bit as much as were apartheid South Africa and apartheid America.

And by that I don't only mean the evil that is inflicted upon the Palestinian people minute-by-minute, day-by-day, but also the extraordinarily racist divisions within Jewish society with the black Jews from Ethiopia, for example, treated as little more than vermin.

So let us get past the calculated smokescreen that challenging Rothschild Zionism and the horrors of Israel means you are anti-Jewish and instead look at the simple facts that they don't want you to know and acknowledge.

Firstly, you don't have to be Jewish to be a Rothschild Zionist, as US Vice-President, Joe Biden, publicly said while arse-licking his masters in Tel Aviv (ultimately his masters at Chateau Rothschild).

Some of the most vehement Rothschild Zionists are the Christian Zionists in the United States and elsewhere, led most vocally by their 'spiritual' leader, John C. Hagee. Think of the worst kind of extreme Bible-bashing hypocrite and you've got him to a tee.

Hagee is the founder and National Chairman of the Christian-Zionist organization, Christians United for Israel, he's a regular visitor to Israel and has met every prime minister since Menachem Begin.

Hagee - the voice, though not brain, of the Christian Zionists.

His John Hagee Ministries has given more than $8.5 million to relocate Jews from the former Soviet Union to Israel and he is the founder and Executive Director of an event called 'A Night to Honor Israel', which pledges solidarity between Christians and the State of Israel.

See the story later in this exposé headed 'GOD-TV Erase Israeli Bedouin Village to Bring Jesus' Second Coming' to appreciate the extreme and heartless way the non-Jewish Christian Zionists support the official Zionists - Rothschild Zionists.

By contrast, a large number of Jewish people are not Zionists, some even vehemently oppose it and support the Palestinians in their battle for survival against the onslaught of genocide from the Israel government and military funded by the United States.

Jewish people organise protests and call for boycotts of Israel in response to the Rothschild Zionist agenda for the Palestinians and yet how many people know that who glean their 'information' from the mainstream media?

How many people know, as portrayed in this picture, that many religious Jews abhor the demands by the Rothschild Zionists for a US attack on Iran and have had warm meetings with Iran's President Ahmedinejad to give their support?

No one who only gets their 'news' from the Rothschild-Zionist-controlled mainstream media would know any of this because they push only one line - Zionism means all Jewish people, end of story.

But anyone who thinks that is true should read the article by Jewish musician and writer, Gilad Atzmon, later in this package, headed 'How Israeli leaders kill for their people's votes'.

The Rothschilds have a network of organisations, including B'nai B'rith and its offshoot, the Anti Defamation League (ADL), that work with other Rothschild- controlled groups to target anyone who gets close to seeing the elephant in the living room and exposing it for all to see.

They attack and undermine them in every way they can to stop the simple and devastating truth coming to light - that the Rothschild Zionists control the mainstream media; Hollywood and the movie industry; governments, not least in the United States; and crucially in the light of current events, they control global finance and commerce.

I am going to take you through the personnel of the Obama administration that 'he' appointed after his election in late 2008 to give you an idea of how the very few dictate to the very many via the Rothschild networks.

Three-year-olds being labelled bigots by teachers as 250,000 children accused of racism

By Laura Clark

Teachers are being forced to report children as young as three to the authorities for using alleged ‘racist’ language, it was claimed last night.

Munira Mirza, a senior advisor to London Mayor Boris Johnson, said schools were being made to spy on nursery age youngsters by the Race Relations Act 2000.

More than a quarter of a million children have been accused of racism since it became law, she said.

Writing in Prospect magazine, she said: ‘The more we seek to measure racism, the more it seems to grow.

‘Teachers are now required to report incidents of racist abuse among children as young as three to local authorities, resulting in a massive increase of cases and reinforcing the perception that we need an army of experts to manage race relations from cradle to grave.

Glass houses in the Liberty Movement: Sovereignty for me but not for you

Activist Post

John Galt
Activist Post

One of the tactics used by the Elite to maintain their sinister matrix of control is division. In other words, they keep the sheep in a constant state of hate and fear in order to divide and conquer. It's amazing that there are still people in the Truth-Liberty movement who continue to hate on their fellow peasants. The anti-immigrant, anti-gay, and anti-Ground Zero mosque groups are just a few recent examples who have attempted to infiltrate the Liberty movement.

The beliefs that Christians are somehow different than Muslims, Jews, or Atheists; or that liberals are different than conservatives; or dirt-poor Mexican immigrants are different than the desperately unemployed Americans; or that Chinese child-slave laborers are less human than our children, are all false tools to divide humanity. I know, many of you are already screaming at the computer screen "But they ARE different" and you're already formulating your witty comments in your mind to this rant. But I've got news for you, if we hate anyone because of a learned belief system then our wool still needs to be sheared.

Our religious books were written and sanctioned by powerful men who claimed to have the only key to the true divine story. Each version of these belief systems teach demonization of "non-believers" no matter how saintly they may be in their own belief system. Knowing what we now know about the history and criminal structure of the ruling elite, what makes us think the propaganda of 2,000 years ago was any different than today?

If we demand sovereignty for ourselves, we must demand it equally for others. Indeed this was a major motivator for the Founding Fathers. As Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." If we justify treating "enemy combatants" inhumanely, we are only treating ourselves inhumanely.

If we are complacent about allowing the intrusion of privacy on Americans so that we can spy on our enemies, or allow authorities to ask Hispanics for their papers at routine checkpoints, then we are inviting the very same tyranny on ourselves.

Many in the Truth-Liberty Movement understandably feel anger and hatred for the Elite who orchestrate this tyranny, but even that is a distraction. It seems to me that we should focus on changing the system that enslaves us, rather than the people who control it. Evidently, some people lump all Jews in when they scream about the dirty "deeds" of Zionists; some want to deport Mexican-American children from the country because of the criminal actions of a few illegal immigrants; and even some liberals now support preemptive wars, torture, and illegal surveillance because their brand of tyranny is now in charge.

This insanity must end.

No matter how small our numbers are, compared to the pop-culture flock, we're infinitely more powerful because we have truth on our side. However, it seems we must now dig down deeper to discover the ultimate, impenetrable truths to reach our full potential. Gandhi made it clear that a movement is far more powerful when it expresses what it stands for, rather than screaming about what it opposes. And this is especially true if what we stand for are ultimate truths such as peace, love, liberty, and basic fairness and compassion -- to live free by one simple rule: do no harm.

If a system of belief promotes division to the point where it justifies hatred, or mass murder in the minds of men, it's a good bet that it's been designed by the controllers. If we fall victim to such prejudice we remain their pawns. The Liberty Movement must do a better job promoting what we are for, rather than what we are against. We've got a long way to go.

OBAMA AND MEDIA MINIONS INSPIRE VIOLENCE

By Lloyd Marcus
June 2, 2010
NewsWithViews.com

In case you have not realized that Obama and his media minions' relentless playing of the "Race Card" could inspire violence, I have some news for you. The New Black Panther Party hosted a National Black Power Convention.

The following chilling quote is from the convention organizer and party chairman. "With the rise of the Tea Party, the white-right and other racist forces. With gun sales nationwide at an all time high amongst whites, with a mood that is more anti-Black than any time recent, it is imperative that we organize our forces, pool our resources and prepare for war!" Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, Esq. Convention Convener and Party Chairman.

"...prepare for war!" -- folks, this is crazy talk. I am black conservative, singer/songwriter and tea party spokesperson, Lloyd Marcus. I have attended over two hundred tea parties across America on three Tea Party Express tours.

Most assuredly, the tea parties are not about racism or hate. The truth is quite the opposite. The tea parties are about love; love for the greatest nation on the planet and a fervent desire not to see it transformed into something unrecognizable. The Tea Party Movement is no more complicated than that.

So where did the Black Panthers Party get the erroneous idea that the tea party patriots are as Janeane Garofalo says, "a bunch of redneck racist against a black president"? The unfortunate answer is the Obama media machine.

Willing to sacrifice anything, including national race relations, to further their socialist/progressive agenda, Obama and the liberal mainstream media aggressively continue to sell their big fat lie, "America is Racist" campaign. This is pure evil.

The latest installment by Obama and his media minions' to their "America is Racist" campaign is their misrepresentation of the Arizona Immigration law. In a nut shell, the law simply applies the same common sense rules to illegals as it does to Americans. The Arizona law says, if you are stopped for a traffic violation, you must show proper ID. The Arizona law is milder than the federal law and prohibits racial profiling.

Unscrupulously, Obama even recruited the president of Mexico to assist in the promotion of his lie that the Arizona law is racist and racial profiling. Obama's sycophant liberal mainstream media refuses to report the truth about the Arizona law, the tea parties, Obamacare or anything else that would expose their socialist/progressive agenda.

As a matter of fact, to kick their "America is Racist" campaign up a notch, the liberal mainstream media embellishes their lie. Liberal commentator Sam Donaldson outrageously compared the Arizona law to Tienanmen Square.

Meanwhile, angry illegals and supportive activists are threatening violence against the police.

As a child, I naively thought only a great human being could become president of the United States. Obama has truly shattered my Norman Rockwell image of the quality of person capable of occupying the Oval Office.

And when did the mainstream media completely sell it's soul to the devil. Despite catastrophic declines in revenue, subscribers, viewers and lost of credibility, the liberal mainstream media have thrown their chips "all in" betting on Obama. Conservative media are thriving.

Apparently liberal mainstream media's mindset is "Even if it leads to a race war and attacks on the police, we will not report the truth regarding the tea parties and the Arizona law."

On the surface it would appear We The People are helpless in holding Obama and his media minions accountable for their irresponsibly, divisive and violence inspiring "America is racist" campaign. Obama has the bully pulpit of the White House to spread his lies. A majority of the media are socialist/progressives. How can We The People possibly defeat them?

Here is our game plan. Opposite of the typical irresponsibly "spoiled brat" behavior of the supposed peace loving, compassionate and tolerant left, we will not resort to violence. We will win by doing what is right, honorable and true. We pray. We unite. We trust God.

Playing the Race Card Against Freedom Loving Americans

The establishment is desperate to discredit the Tea Party movement. In order to accomplish this objective, it will twist the truth and invent hatred and racism where none exists.

Example du jour: Bob Cessa over at the Huffington Post.

Dale Robertson was booted out of a Tea Party event for his offensive sign.

In a blog post Mr. Cessa claims the Tea Party movement is all about racism. He writes that “when you strip away all of the rage, all of the nonsensical loud noises and all of the contradictions, all that’s left is race. The tea party is almost entirely about race.”

In order to make his point, Cessa points to Dale Robertson, a man he fallaciously claims is some kind of mucky-muck in the Tea Party movement.

Robertson was photographed back in February, 2009, at a Tea Party rally toting a placed that read: “Congress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = Niggar.”

Josh Parker of the Houston Tea Party Society told The Washington Independent that Robertson was booted out of the event for the offensive sign. Cessa, however, does not mention this.

As it turns out, Mr. Robertson is not affiliated with any of the Tea Party organizations in Texas or anywhere else.

Felicia Cravens, writing for the Houston Tea Party Society, explains that Robertson has no affiliation with her group. “A search on Google yields plenty of information about Mr. Robertson, and a search of the various leadership teams among legitimate national tea party organizations show him nowhere to be found,” she explains.

In other words, Robertson is either a poseur or an operative tasked with making the Tea Party look like a class reunion of Ku Klux Klan members.

Next, Cessa reveals his ignorance of the Tea Party movement. He tags it as a spin-off of the neocon Republican party and its fellow travelers in talk radio:

The tea party is an extension of talk radio. It’s an extension of Fox News Channel. It’s an extension of the southern faction of the Republican Party — the faction that gave us the Southern Strategy, the Willie Horton ad, the White Hands ad and the racially divisive politics of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. It’s an extension of the race-baiting and, often, the outright racism evident in all of those conservative spheres.

In fact, the Tea Party concept was invented by Libertarians, not the Republican party, although Republican neocons have since hijacked the concept and declared it their own.

“The Libertarian Party of Illinois got the idea to hold an April 15, 2009 anti-tax ‘Boston Tea Party’ in Chicago way back in December of 2008. On February 10, 2009 they started a Facebook page and began promoting the website throughout the Illinois media,” writes Donny Ferguson of the Libertarian National Committee.

The establishment hijacking of the Tea Party is common knowledge. Even the liberal website Raw Story wrote about it in December, 2009. MSNBC stalwart Rachel Maddow talked about it several times on her show. “People are trying to do the right thing, but GOP organizations and campaigns are effectively taking over the Tea Party movement in some places in the country,” Stephen Gordon told Maddow.

MSNBC Continues Propaganda Campaign Against Patriot Groups

(the "truth" is definitly under attck, and will probably only get worse . . . dangerous times for truth seekers . . . )

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
March 2, 2010

Anti-patriot propaganda has reached a fevered pitch in the corporate media. In the MSNBC segment below, Contessa Brewer interviews Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Brewer prefaces her interview with Potok — who is now a fixture of the ongoing propaganda campaign — by stating that opposition to the government is “fueled in part by anger over the troubled economy,” the fact Obama is African-American, and “immigration issues” (in other words, illegal aliens streaming across the border).

Brewer’s subtext (undoubtedly written for her and read from a teleprompter) is that people upset with the government are a bunch of racists. Of course, if she was a real reporter instead of an info babe put before the camera because she is attractive and can read a teleprompter, she just might elaborate on this and say people are upset with the government because it is increasingly authoritarian and violates the Constitution and the Bill of Rights on multiple fronts — from Obamacare at gunpoint to illegal wars and the pervasive surveillance grid intruding upon our lives.

Dead-pan Potok is amazed at the “scope” of the growth of groups on the “radical right” (that is to say anybody who is not a Republican neocon or Democrat). Potok conflates the patriot movement with the “militias from the 1990s” (does he mean the government created militia at Elohim City, including the government agent Timothy McVeigh, or the militia operatives dispatched by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the FBI?). Potok says 363 new “radical right” groups have formed in the last year. Is it possible these new groups include those created by the Republican compromised Tea Party movement? Potok does not say.

Potok tells Ms. Brewer patriot groups see the federal government as their primary enemy and believe “the government is involved in all kinds of nefarious plots to bring us into the New World Order, so called and so on.”

So called by Henry Kissinger, Gordon Brown, Bush Senior, and no shortage of economists and assorted establishment politicos over the last one hundred years or so. (and so on).

Patriot groups, Potok insists, are responsible for criminal violence. He then effortlessly connects Joe Stack to the patriot movement, but for some reason neglects to mention that Stack’s alleged manifesto referenced communism, hardly considered a “radical right” philosophy.

In addition, Potok says the widely held belief that the income tax is unconstitutional has “raised a lot of havoc” (and so did strapping British tax collectors to Liberty Poles in the 1770s by American revolutionaries).

Ms. Brewer then says the attack on the IRS building in Austin was similar to the attack on the federal building in Oklahoma City. She may be right — evidence indicates the latter attack was staged by the government and it may eventually come out that Stack’s attack was too. Ms. Brewer would not report this in a month of Sundays, not if she values her career.

Potok concludes by stating his concern that “hate groups” (the ticker below him exclaims) may engage in violence, mostly because there is a black man in the White House and the “demographic change” in the country. He stops short of demanding anybody who believes in less government and adherence to the Constitution should be rounded up and thrown in a re-education camp.

It seems Potok and Brewer were reading from the Department of Homeland Security’s “rightwing” extremism report because their conversation came off like a carbon copy of the now infamous report (especially Potok’s assertion that patriot groups hate Obama because of his skin pigmentation).

It is indeed surreal that such nonsense about violence should be aired on a network that is jointly owned by a corporation founded by a eugenicist (Bill Gates, the former CEO of Microsoft) and the notorious death merchant General Electric (manufacturer of military aircraft, tankers, helicopters, surveillance aircraft and bombers used most recently to subdue recalcitrant Muslims).

I mean, talk about a hate group.

Ratigan Goes Nuts: Accuses Tea Party Organizer of Including People who Want to 'Kill Blacks and Jews'

(I must be missing something . . . I wish these idiots would give documented examples of Tea Partiers making such racist remarks . . . of course they can't, so they will continue ranting about it to make it true. . . )

News Busters

By Jeff Poor | Tue, 03/02/2010

You almost need a flak jacket to go on an MSNBC show these days - at least judging by the rapid fire attacks displayed on the March 2 "The Dylan Ratigan Show."

Either host Dylan Ratigan was trying to play to MSNBC's rabid liberal audience or he really has it in for the Tea Party movement based on some exaggerated notion it is nothing but hate and fear mongers. In an interview with Mark Williams, a conservative talk radio host and sometimes spokesman for the Tea Party Express, Ratigan asked Williams what he was doing to separate his legitimate effort from radical fringe elements in American political culture.

"Mark, how do you draw the bright line between the very admirable and understandable principles that are advocated by so many in the Tea Party as it pertains to a Constitutional definition of a democracy, separation of things like banking and investing, church and - I mean, you go to all these things, and those who would choose a more radicalized view or racist view and hide, if you will, inside of the Tea Party umbrella?" Ratigan said.

"Well, that's real simple," Williams replied. "There's wing-nuts and normal people."

But that wasn't good enough for Ratigan, who went on a tirade about how Williams should be more forceful in denouncing people who say they want to "kill blacks and Jews," as if they're an every day element of the national Tea Party movement.

"It's not that simple because when wing-nuts go to other political organizations and say, ‘I want to kill black people, I want to kill Jews,' whatever it may be, the organizer, for instance, if I was holding a Dylan Ratigan event and a bunch of people held up signs saying they wanted to kill blacks and Jews, I would say, ‘Would you kindly remove yourself, I don't accept people who follow me who are into killing blacks and Jews and women or whatever it may be,'" Ratigan said. "What confuses me about the Tea Party if the Tea Party's willingness to accept the wing-nuts without defining more crisply what the Tea Party's agenda is relative to those who just want to kill black people, for instance."

A slightly befuddled Williams asked Ratigan if he was accountable for crazy people.

"So that's our fault they're nuts?" Williams replied.

That set Ratigan off again and he reiterated the notion that fringe elements are welcome in the tea party movement.

"You shame them, Mark," Ratigan said. "It is your fault that unlike the Democrats or the Republicans or any other political group - so you're saying you accept racists and Nazis, is that what you're saying? Do you accept them in the Tea Party?"

The stalemate ended with Williams walking off the set, but not without some angry parting shots from Ratigan - accusing him of trying to use his show as a vehicle for propaganda.

"Do you have any intention of answering any of my questions," Ratigan said. "Let me ask you a question, Mark because I don't want to continue with this. You're wasting valuable oxygen. Can we please cut off this man's microphone? He has no interest in answering any of my questions. Mark, a pleasure - actually not really a pleasure. It was offensive. You're offensive. Your treatment of my show as a vehicle to spread your propaganda, ignore my questions, offensive. And an indication of what is wrong with the dialogue in this country, period. Not to mention a group that would accept Nazis and racists."

Sen. Whitehouse: Foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups

By Kerry Picket on Dec. 20, 2009



Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today took shots at those who are not supporting the health care legislation. During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for holding up the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups. He started off by citing an editorial from the Manchester Journal Inquirer, which used the insult "lunatic fringe.":

“Let's Look At What Current Observers Are Saying As A Possible Early Indicator Of The Judgment History Will Inflict. Recently, The Editor Of The Manchester Journal Inquirer Editorial Page Wrote Of The Current G.O.P. Which He Called ‘This Once Great And Now Mostly Shameful Party,’ That ‘It Has Gone Crazy, Is More And More Dominated By The Lunatic Fringe And Has Poisoned Itself With Hate.’ He Concluded, ‘They No Longer Want To Govern. They Want To Emote.’ A Well Regarded Philadelphia Columnist Recently Wrote Of The Conservative Paranoia And Lunacy On The Republican Right.”

After explaining why absent GOP members who did not vote for the Department of Defense spending bill was tantamount to a "no" vote, he went on to say that Republicans and their supporters just want to "break" the momentum of President Obama.:

"Voting 'no' and hiding from the vote are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."

I approached (AUDIO) Senator Whitehouse following his speech on the floor, and his responses to my questions were puzzling, to say the say the least. Mr. Whitehouse said he stood by his speech, but would not admit that he was accusing anyone who was against the health care bill as racist. He did reiterate that birthers are part of the group that is against the bill and are attacking president However, when I asked the Senator from Rhode Island what he meant by describing those who do not support the bill as "aryan," he responded "No, I didn't say that....again, pay attention to the speech."

According to the transcript above, Mr. Whitehouse did say what he seems to be denying. Perhaps he should pay more attention to what he says on the floor.
