Open Threads

Speaking of race-baiters and assorted vile human beings:

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton both managed to make their way onto the national radar today. Jackson was busy comparing police to militia groups (and not the good kind mentioned in the Constitution- you know- the ones who secured our liberties a couple hundred years ago), while Al Sharpton was left sputtering about an FBI video tape in which he is alleged to have held a discussion about a drug deal with an undercover agent posing to be a South American drug kingpin.

*** UPDATE *** I just saw the video of Sharpton on HBO’S Real Sports. It is very damning.

*** Update #2 *** C. Dodd Harris IV comments on Sharpton.

One less jerk graces the earth:

WIlliam Pierce, the unreconstructed Nazi, vile anti-semite, racist hate-mongerer, and de facto spiritual leader to every misguided skinhead with a noggin full of menace and bile, has died of cancer. The only thing I can say is that it was a damn shame it had to be something as slow as cancer, although we can take some pleasure in the fact that he may have suffered immensely. All in all, I would have preferred a heart attack about 30 years ago so we would not have to listen to his garbage.

For those of you who don’t remember, Pierce is the author of the Turner Diaries, the so-called ‘inspiration’ for home-grown terrorist and mass murderer Timothy McVeigh and a bunch of other putrid gun-nuts in Idaho and Montana.

Rot in hell, Pierce.

Just leave Steve Earle alone, already!

Steve Earle is a whacked out musician. I like to listen to him. He rarely, if ever, takes himself seriously, and neither should you. He is not trying to start an uprising, he is not trying to shape political opinion (unlike the jackasses in Hollywood or the whiny leftists at Common Dreams). He is just spouting off. Let him be.

The way to solve the problem is by not listening to it if it pisses you off. And while you are at it, you boycott Nazi’s, get your god damned V-Chip out of my god damned television.

Censoring rockabilly. Christ almighty, the terrorists have won.

(Go read what Matt Welch, Ken Layne, the Instapundit, Eric Olsen, and Dr. Frank have to say, as well as Jim Henley.

No Shit.

WorldCom will file for bankruptcy protection today, according to the embattled company’s chief executive. The bankruptcy would be the largest in U.S. history.

Didn’t see that coming.
