“Rev. Jeremiah Wright at MLK Breakfast: Tea Party Is ‘2.0 Upgrade of Lynch Mobs'”

Which, I guess it could be worse, coming from Obama’s spiritual adviser. I mean, imagine if the filthy Jews started joining with the constitutional fetishists instead of sticking reliably to the liberal plantation?  Then it would really be a movement worthy of ovens and work camps.  Chickens coming home to roost and all that.  “Chickens” being the Reverend’s choice of metaphor, not mine.

Billy Ayers and some of Obama’s friends from the neighborhood could handle the logistics of the clean-up.  After which?  Nirvana!

Not so much a racial cleansing as an ideological one.  Which is morally permissible for the Greater Good.   Just in case you think about bringing up any stupid Hitler analogies.

Stick to Mao and Stalin.  Those guys had it right. Though their methods were a bit sloppy, and the whole military motif they decorated themselves with were too 20th-century modernist for contemporary tastes.

    He’s only saying that because Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost.

    Worse, people might actually believe him and think that the original lynch mobs and Jim Crow groups were from the conservative side of the table.

    *chuckle*…..I always do a double take when you do that Leigh. My youngest is named Sonny also.

  6. If I had a little racist box in my pocket that would publically and viciously murder people that looked different than me based on trumped-up charges, then one day I clicked “Accept” and the new version did nothing but complain about high taxes, I’d be pissed.

    I guess the Rev is an Apple user.

  7. Sorry leigh, didn’t see that. He’s doing fine. They’re in the “gray period” so he’s miserable, but Plebes are supposed to be miserable, right? He also lost three points for Gryffindor, so everyone’s mad at him.

    congrats on having a son at West Point, LMC.

    I’ve gotten some odd looks from people when I tell them Hitler was a piker compared to Mao and Stalin.

  10. palaeomerus says:

    The thing about lynch mobs is that they lynch people.

    Who exactly are they lynching then, you dumb son of a bitch? Is not voting for people and running against them the same as lynching? It’s like saying that roller skating is roman gladiator fighting 2.0. No, it’s fucking not. Not even if you squint. There are more differences than similarities. Suasion needs to avoid becoming an absurd parody of itself.

    BBH, sorry! I call everyone’s kids Sonny unless they have previously stated their names. Did your Sonny decide about culinary school?

  13. sdferr says:

    Imagine (I know it’s hard) finding Jeremiah Wright a fascinating and inspiring man. What is that like? I’d suggest it’s like Jeremiah Wright himself, for he has an intimate fascination with himself, as we can see. But imagine being impressed by such a creature. What lowly state from which to begin to find any uplift in that? And yet, the Americans (who surely begin from a lowly state) must not be permitted to see. Such glories cannot be permitted.

  14. bgbear says:

    I bet the Nazis started out asking for lower taxes.

    I believe high-tech lynch mob is the intellectual property of Clarence Thomas.

  15. dicentra says:

    Remember why the lynchings happened?

    Because all the white people knew — KNEW — that every black man spent all the live-long day thinking about how he might rape himself a white woman.

    Those people aren’t like us, see. They don’t have control over their animal urges. Which, given their jungle bloodlines, are more animal and more urgent than ours. You keep an eye on those young bucks, else they’ll corner your wives and sisters and daughters and mothers and start a-rippin’ off the bodices…

    Let us draw a curtain over this obscene development to protect the delicate sensibilities of the fairer sex…

    Don’t you let them deny it. Any colored man will deny to your face that he’s got rape on his mind, but don’t you believe him. We know what he’s thinking and we know what he’ll do first chance he gets.

    *****

    The proggs “know” what hateful bigots we are, too, and there’s no defense against their accusations. There can be no defense, because they want us gone, by hook or by crook, and our innocence cannot be allowed to thwart their purposes.

  16. Squid says:

    Remember why the lynchings happened?

    Because all the white people knew — KNEW — that every black man spent all the live-long day defenseless and cut off from help.

    FTFY. You wanna know why the Tea Party frightens and infuriates these proggtards so much? It’s because they know that a well-armed bunch of neighbors looking out for one another is a force they cannot defeat.

  17. leigh says:

    Folks* love to talk about lynchings as if they were happening up until last Saturday.

    Most times, it isn’t mentioned that a lot of white folks, male and female and Jews in particular, were lynched, as well. It also gets left out that many, not all of course (boilerplate condemnation of vigilante justice here) were guilty of the crimes of which they were accused.

    I guess that doesn’t fit the Narrative™.

    *as prezbo likes to say

  18. leigh says:

    help yourselves to extra commas above.

  19. Blake says:

    leigh, I’m kind of surprised leftists aren’t fans of “vigilante justice.” Vigilantes seem to be a rather democratic bunch, don’t you think?

  20. Drumwaster says:

    They would have been very much in favor of “vigilantes” rioting and wrecking after that “white Hispanic” was acquitted on the murder of that poor little black boy who only wanted hisself some Skittles…

    The fact that vigilantes were the ones who kept law and order when such groups ran wild in times past would completely escape them, what with History only starting in 1968.

    “Protecting the border when the government won’t”? Racism, pure and simple. “Rioting and looting and deadly assault”? It’s a cultural thing, you wouldn’t understand…

  21. leigh says:

    Oh they are, Blake. They’d kill us all given half a chance. (cf) Andrew “Get out of MY state!!!) Cuomo.

  22. dicentra says:

    Elizabeth “The Anchoress” Scalia just Tweeted this: Carthaginians sacrificed own children.

    It’s a chilling article. It appears that adults would ask the gods for a blessing, promising ahead of time that they’d sacrifice a child in return. The urns containing the tiny charred bones would say “the gods ‘heard my voice and blessed me’.”

    Diodorus even said that some citizens who bought children from poor people and reared them specially for sacrifice believed misfortunes had resulted because they had not sacrificed their own offspring.

    Here’s the kicker at the end:

    “The feeling that some ultimate taboo is being broken is very strong. It was striking how often colleagues, when they asked what I was working on, reacted in horror and said, ‘Oh no, that’s simply not possible, you must have got it wrong.'”

    “We like to think that we’re quite close to the ancient world, that they were really just like us – the truth is, I’m afraid, that they really weren’t.”

    Lady? At least the ancients recognized that the gods were demanding something that was truly precious.

    We enlightened folks don’t even have the decency to use burial urns: into the medical waste bucket and everything is ducky.

    55 million times since 1973. That’s Mao-level slaughter.

  23. Blake says:

    Ah, so Drum, you’re thinking in terms of what vigilantism actually was, not what the progressive rewrite of history has made it out to be.

  24. Blake says:

    The Old Testament speaks to civilizations “passing their children through the fire to Baal” if my memory serves me correctly.

  25. dicentra says:

    The Old Testament speaks to civilizations “passing their children through the fire to Baal” if my memory serves me correctly.

    Yup.

    When the Israelites imitated them, that’s when Jehovah threatened them with destruction (and later carried through). He’d never asked them for child sacrifice — illustrating that point very clearly by stopping Abraham and furnishing a ram in Isaac’s place — and yet they go a’whoring after gods that DO?

    How perverse is THAT?

    People think the OT God got bent out of shape because the people were asking for rain from the wrong idol, but no: the idolatrous gods demanded child sacrifice and ritual prostitution. Sick, sick business. At that point, destroying them all was the kindest thing he could do.

  26. bour3 says:

    Sorry, Reverend is it, for a real-life, modern-day in-you-face lynch mob on a national scale look to your role in the harassment of George Zimmerman.

    I pulled that out of my butt, I have no idea if, Reverend is it, had any role at all and I don’t care to look [+”Reverend Wright” +”George Zimmerman] blah.

  27. palaeomerus says:

    See the thing is, if lynch mobs had just supported candidates in the political process instead of murdering people. then they wouldn’t have been hated or viewed as a menace.

    This stupid hateful lying hack jackass is condemning people and calling them criminals for OBEYING THE LAW and not using mob violence to accomplish their goals.

  28. palaeomerus says:

    Oh, from now on it’s not “the knockout game”. It’s “the knockout or get cut real bad game”. People are carrying quick-draw knives because of this.

    *shrugs* Well, unless you’ve been selected for special treatment, you learn to go with the flow. Everyone else is sucking it up, so there’s really no reason why you can’t too.

    Or as I used to say: “West Point: A great place to either be about to go to or to have been from.”

    Or as others used to say: “West Point: 40,000 trying to get in, 4,000 trying to get out.”

    I got a million of them, each funnier than the last if you say them in the correct order.

  39. dicentra says:

    Well, then.

    Mystery solved:

    As readers may have deduced by my absence from National Review Online and my termination of our joint representation, there have been a few differences between me and the rest of the team. The lesson of the last year is that you win a free-speech case not by adopting a don’t-rock-the-boat, keep-mum, narrow procedural posture but by fighting it in the open, in the bracing air and cleansing sunlight of truth and justice.

  40. Ernst Schreiber says:

    OT: I’ve concluded that Roger L. Simon of PJMedia is an idiot.

    That appears to be the one issue militating against a coming Republican majority, but it is an exceptionally potent one because it is used, fairly or not[!], to paint the right as bigots. And young people, again not surprisingly, don’t want to hang with bigots — so the whole house of cards goes down.

    [….]

    While I respect and recognize people’s religious traditions, what concerns me is this — this issue will be used effectively as a wedge to sabotage a whole lot of change at a time when it couldn’t be more necessary It dovetails perfectly with the mythological “war on women,” which we all will be sure to hear about incessantly.

    … I have to say in all candor that political opposition to same-sex marriage is the Achilles Heel of the right going into 2016. Social conservatives who intend to make a serious issue out of it should realize that the fallout from their views could adversely affect all of us in a catastrophic way.

    No one is going to be happy here. SoCons who continue to press this issue on the political (not the personal or religious) stage have to realize that they are damaging many of us who have other concerns domestic and foreign, many of which we would probably agree on more easily.

    In other words, Democrats are going to make an issue of it, but shut up anyways, because that’s a proven strategy for winning!

    Just like John McCain and Mitt Romney.

  41. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Keep your heads down, your mouths shut and toe the line Jesuslanders! Don’t you know we’re on the verge of a small government revolution here?

    As long as small government isn’t labeled racist, sexist, bigoted or homophobic. In which case, fair or not, we’re fucked.

  42. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Upon closer reading, I need to revise my opinion. Roger L. Simon of PJ media is a fucking idiot.

    This is a great moment. A seriously smaller government is a real possibility with electoral victories in 2014 and 2016. Let’s not jeopardize them by emphasizing an issue [i.e., gay marriage] more properly, and unquestionably more successfully, dealt with in the private [!] realm.

    Score up another win for Juergen Habermas and the Frankfurt School.

  43. geoffb says:

    ” I have to say in all candor that political opposition to same-sex marriage abortion is the Achilles Heel of the right going into 2016.”

    This is the flip side which will also be thrown out.

  46. dicentra says:

    you can bake eggs in the avocado

    or in a partially scooped-out baked potato, which you carefully wrap in foil and set in the coals until the egg is cooked.

    I’m sure bacon bits and shredded cheese would not go amiss, nor a dash of salsa.

  47. happyfeet says:

    so you bake the potato first and then bake it again for to cook the eggs?

    “Well, then. Mystery solved:”

    Without Steyn I now have no reason whatsoever to go to NRO and certainly no reason to subscribe to their Dead Tree Edition as they very aptly call it.

    It is amazing to me how the bottom fell out of that “conservative” magazine in 2007 and how since then it just keeps crumbling, eroding, and evaporating. They have a blog called ‘the corner’ which is ironic because they long ago filed down the last corner with the exorcism of Derbyshire for the dangerous crime of unseemly out-group-think.

    They should change the name of the blog to The Harmless Pudding and the name of the magazine to “Fuck You Buckley! No One Invites Us to Brunch Anymore And it’s All Your Fault. We Used to Be King Makers. Now We Have to Keep Our Big Fat Heads Down When We Hear Cars Passing In The Street, Oh What a World! What a World! ”

Nah, Toss him before he infects the others. Run away! Look at how NOT LIKE HIM we all are! We get big points for that right? We are classy now right?

    NR is one of many rotting toes on the foot of conservatism, brought low by long exposure to the chill winds of intellectual frostbite. I am ashamed to have ever taken it seriously or been a fan of it. I am appalled to see the wretched barren shore it has finally washed up to.

    If Roger Simon is genuinely more concerned about the anti-abortion plank than Chuck Schumer unctuously, but clearly, and nakedly proposing laws aimed at the momentary disenfranchisement of the Tea Party, because they win too much, and they keep the republicans from rolling over as often as desired, then “idiot” doesn’t quite begin to cover the nature of his affliction.

    Simon is nuts, bewitched, hexed, under a glamour, and chasing motes and fairies through the dark hungry woods.

    Best not to listen to his ranting and babbling anymore. He’s seeing more angels that that fake sign language translator at the Mandela memorial service.

    It’s like Luther is on the beach, clinking his bottles together calling the warriors to come out and play-ee-aaay and Roger Simon is still wondering what is wrong with the warriors that everyone is so willing to think that they killed Cyrus at his rally in Central Park.
