4. "Equal Time"...
In the corporate media's byzantine world, they feel they need to "balance" their coverage...especially when it comes to Democrats. For years, the GOOP cultivated goons like Blackwell, Steele and other blacks as well as females (the infamous bimbo squad) to invade these talk and cable shows...loaded with talking points. Beacuse of their gender or color, somehow the networks feel "obligated" to give them time to spew their noise.

The other day, I saw a poll that showed President Obama's approval ratings among the black community at 97%!!!! So these bottom feeders speak for only 3% of their "kin"...and an even smaller minority within their own corrupt party.

I was watching some of Chicken Noodle Nuze's coverage and it was like watching Animal Planet trying to explain how dolphins are as intelligent as humans...just replace dophins with blacks. They claim they're not looking at race and then bring on a Spike Lee or an all black panel and ask why this event is so special for black people.

5. CNN, the station that gave fascist Glenn Beck
a platform? They are Faux News lite. Lou Dobbs has been pounding Obama for months now. There is nothing fair about CNN. They represent corporate interests all the way.

8. God I truly hate that man and his ilk.
They are nothing but pure filth in my opinion (hope that's not too hyperbolic). I just can't understand what can make a black man do the kinds of things to his own people that he's done and look at himself in the mirror.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

11. Someone that would intentionally
disenfranchise his race for personal gain deserves zero respect. Especially in light of racially inspired voter suppression in our history.

12. Blackwell was Worst Person last night because he opposes job creation (will hurt GOP):
l Opposes New Jobs Because It May Help Democrats
Submitted by dpotts on Sat, 01/17/2009 - 10:08pm.
We all already knew that Ken Blackwell was an idiot, but it may be worse than we thought. As ThinkProgress points out, Blackwell used his most recent TownHall column to preach against the proposed economic stimulus package. But get this, he actually went beyond the typical conservative "big government" BS.
While only a few details are known, one overlooked issue is that it could create a major electoral advantage for Democrats at taxpayer expense. That would be unacceptable for what is being touted as a nonpartisan measure, and gives Republicans yet another reason to oppose it if not restructured. <…>
But most federal employees, that are not political appointees, vote Democrat. Since Washington, DC is the seat of government, whenever new federal bureaucrats are created many live in Maryland and Virginia. In 2008, Virginia went Democrat for the first time since 1964, and Mr. Obama won it by 130,000 votes. Creating 600,000 new jobs might help cement Virginia in the Democrat column, making it harder for Republicans to retake the White House.
Creating new jobs is a bad thing, because it might make Virginia lean Democratic. Uh, okay. Sure. Damn, I really thought it would take them longer to catch on to our plans to win votes by actually solving problems.
You keep on watching that belt buckle Ken. We'll all still be cheering you on as you run the RNC into the ground.

Blackwell: GOP Must Defeat Job-Creating Stimulus Because It Will Ruin GOP’s Election Chances»
In an article published on Townhall today, RNC Chairman candidate and former Ohio governor Secretary of State Ken Blackwell urges congressional conservatives to oppose thereinvestment and recovery stimulus plan promoted by President-elect Obama. Though he offers standard conservative arguments against the plan — including a screed against the growth of “big government” — Blackwell seemed most concerned about the political benefit Democrats might see from successfully boosting the economy.

He warned that the bill, which calls for 80 percent job creation in the private sector, could create 600,000 new federal jobs — a problem because it would make it that much harder for for Republicans to win back Virginia:

While only a few details are known, one overlooked issue is that it could create a major electoral advantage for Democrats at taxpayer expense. That would be unacceptable for what is being touted as a nonpartisan measure, and gives Republicans yet another reason to oppose it if not restructured. <…>

But most federal employees, that are not political appointees, vote Democrat. Since Washington, DC is the seat of government, whenever new federal bureaucrats are created many live in Maryland and Virginia. In 2008, Virginia went Democrat for the first time since 1964, and Mr. Obama won it by 130,000 votes. Creating 600,000 new jobs might help cement Virginia in the Democrat column, making it harder for Republicans to retake the White House.

Blackwell cites House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) as his source for the 600,000 “bureaucrats” figure. In fact, Obama’s council of economic advisers predicts that the plan would create about 240,000 government jobs, compared to, for example, 700,000 in mining and construction. And of course, there’s no reason to assume the bulk of government jobs would be created in the D.C. area, though the District — which has the 6th highest unemployment rate in the nation — could use the new jobs.
