“A typical street whore.” “A bunch of ghetto thugs.” “Ghetto street trash.” “Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”
These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama’s 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.
Shay now claims that she was only responding to Piker’s first comments, not having noticed the second. The eight-minute gap between the second post and her response strains the credibility of this defense.
It didn’t take long for other posters on Shay’s page to do the math. First, Derek Moss wrote “What’s disheartening is the use of the word 'coon' in 2009. Wow… I’m usually outnumbered about 500-to-1 on Audra’s threads so go ahead, lemme have it, I deserve it.” He apparently expected to be criticized as among this crowd for calling out the racist comment.
Cassie Wallender, a national committeewoman from the Washington Young Republican Federation, then wrote: “Someone please help a naïve Seattle girl out, is Eric’s comment a racist slur?” She answered her own question one minute later: “Okay, why is this okay? I just looked it up. ‘It comes from a term baracoons (a cage) where they used to place Africans who were waiting to be sent to America to be slaves.’ THIS IS NOT OKAY AND IT’S NOT FUNNY.”
This was followed soon after by the chairman of the D.C. Young Republicans, Sean L. Conner, who wrote “I’m really saddened that you would support this type of racial language. ..wow! Thanks Cassie for standing up…”
I woke up this morning in Las Vegas (tonight I’m playing roulette and betting on red) with a slew of emails about the likely election of Audra Shay as the new head of the Young Republicans on Saturday. You can probably guess how I feel about a woman who thinks comparing President Obama to a terrorist and referring to blacks as “mad coons” is funny.
The definition of insanity is repeating the same actions over and over again and expecting different results.
What exactly do the Young Republicans expect to achieve by electing a 38-year-old woman who thinks racial epithets are acceptable? Also, did I mention that she’s 38? And she’s going to be the leader of an organization with the word “young” in the title? Is it so implausible that people in their 20s (or even early 30s) could join the Republican Party—or have we just completely given up on their vote? Are we expecting “young” people in the Republican Party to soon be entering their 40s?

Government officials say the secret intelligence program canceled by CIA Director Leon Panetta in June was meant to find and kill or capture al-Qaida leaders at close range rather than target them with air strikes.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the program, said the spy agency was never able to pull it off.
Panetta canceled the effort on June 23 after learning of its existence, its failure to yield results, and the fact that Congress was not told about it after its inception in 2001. The U.S. has primarily relied on airstrikes from airborne drones, but the attacks have sometimes killed civilians.
The order to lethally target al-Qaida leaders was authorized by President Bush shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the officials said.

The current U.S. Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice John Roberts was slammed Monday by a key Senate Democrat for promoting a dangerous brand of conservative judicial activism.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island also argued that the calls for judicial restraint by national GOP leaders are “code words” in the search for “a particular type of judge” who will bring about “a particular set” of judicial outcomes.
Whitehouse made his remarks during the opening session of Sotomayor’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
He said he rejected Roberts’ analogy of a judge as a judicial “umpire” that merely “calls balls and strikes.” If that were actually the case, Whitehouse argued, the Supreme Court would not need nine judges.
