Donald Sterling Is a Registered Republican

So lemme see if I get this right

The LIBZ are all a-twitter but this recording and screamed invasion of privacy when Okeefe released his recordings....

Sorta

Kinda

Funny


NOT:D
 
So far there's not one pout about Sterlings remarks about Jews. On that tape are some scalding remarks about Jews. So far nuthin from here, or MSM or Rev Vetteman or Al..
 
Or, if he really is. He might be a Democrat Rino trying to subvert the party. What kind of Piub gives his money to Democrats? A phony of course.

None of that reflects badly on the Dems nor well on the Pubs.

FLASHBACK: Liberal NAACP Awards Donald Sterling “Lifetime Achievement Award”





He was scheduled to receive his second lifetime achievement award from the NAACP but it has been cancelled in the wake of the comments he made to his girlfriend.

Via HuffPo:


In an excruciating example of bad timing, the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP was scheduled to bestow its Lifetime Achievement Award to Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, at its May 15 banquet. Sterling is now under fire for racist comments caught on a recording that surfaced on the TMZ website. Even President Barack Obama weighed in, condemning Sterling’s remarks as “incredibly offensive.” The NBA is now investigating Sterling’s remarks and could invoke sanctions, including removing him as Clippers’ owner. [...]

Yes, there’s no way that the NAACP could have known that Sterling would be caught making those comments. But there’s also no way that the NAACP could not have known that Sterling has a long history of racist comments and racial discrimination in his rental properties.

Indeed, the NAACP seems to suffer from amnesia. Almost exactly five years ago, a similar controversy arose when the civil rights group honored Sterling with the same award! At the time, Elgin Baylor, who served as the Clippers general manager from 1986 to 2008, had just filed an age and racial discrimination suit against Sterling. According to Baylor, Sterling had a “Southern plantation” view, preferring to field a team of “poor black boys from the South
 playing for a white coach.”

Despite the controversy, the NAACP proceeded to give Sterling its award, even though the billionaire’s track record of housing discrimination against African Americans, compounded by the brouhaha with Baylor, was already well-known. To justify the 2009 award, the president of the Los Angeles branch told the Los Angeles Times that Sterling “has a unique history of giving to the children of L.A.,” revealing that the owner donates anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 tickets a game to youth groups for nearly every Clippers home game.” (Of course, Sterling may simply have wanted to fill the many empty seats at the woeful Clippers’ home games).

We also note his past record of race relations and his many political donations to California Democrats who lost their sense of outrage as long as the money was rolling in. It is really wrong that he remains such a racist, but it is no more right to take his money and whistle Dixie...
 
Democrats have much more to be ashamed about than do Republicans:

Let's pretend you're a screenwriter assigned to develop a character to run for Congress in California in 2014. You need a compelling story, so you make him an orphan at 13 – wait, even better his dad leaves the family two weeks before his mother died – and then social services splits up his brothers and sisters leaving him alone in the world.

Despite those challenges he perseveres, putting himself through a top-tier college and then building and selling two multimillion-dollar companies.

Thus financially secure, he decides to dedicate himself to public service and runs for City Council.

In his first term he works across party lines and four years after his first election he passes major pension reform that saves the city money and protects the retirement savings of thousand of people.

For good measure, you make him openly gay and in a committed relationship, the first to feature his partner in campaign literature. He’s the perfect candidate to send to Washington, D.C. and, of course, he’s a Democrat, right?

Wrong. The real story proves that truth is stranger and sometimes better than fiction. Your character already exists in Carl DeMaio of San Diego – except that he’s not a Democrat, he’s a (gasp!) Republican.

No one in Hollywood would write this screenplay -- unless it was a tragicomedy that ends with the candidate realizing the error of his ways and fleeing to the nurturing embrace of doe-eyed and loving Democrats. Exit weeping.

Isn’t his story what everyone who fights for equality says they’ve been fighting for?

When I talked to DeMaio, he said he doesn’t want to emphasize his sexual orientation or his challenging childhood – he prefers to talk about the fiscal condition of the country and his candidacy to defeat freshman Rep. Scott Peters, a Democrat. But because he is who he is, and because his opponents are making an issue about his sexual orientation and lying about his record, he’s willing to talk about it. And he’s disrupting all of the stereotypes.

For instance, DeMaio has been the target of homophobic attacks. But where are those attacks coming from? It’s not always from the far right social conservatives you’d expect; rather, it’s been from DeMaio’s left – the liberal and Democrat-affiliated groups that you’d think would be proud that an openly gay successful businessman has decided to run for office.

One false attack drew the attention of the San Diego Ethics Commission. An anonymous left-wing group funded a SuperPac and sent mailers of DeMaio Photoshopped next to a drag queen to neighborhoods with a majority of elderly and African-American voters, knowing that such a photo would depress support for DeMaio.

That was so egregious and false that the group was fined by the city’s Ethics Commission, but even after that, and with his 100 percent voting record with the LGBT community, the Left still didn’t speak up to defend him. They told DeMaio, “It’s complicated.”

I’m sure. The Right, on the other hand, did speak up about it.

"I've found more tolerance, acceptance and inclusion from social conservative groups who have to reconcile that I'm a Republican who happens to be gay...versus the intolerance the LGBT leaders see me as a gay man who happens to be a Republican," DeMaio said.

As the race heats up and DeMaio gains in the polls ahead of the Republican primary on June 3rd, the LGBT groups have gone from silence about his candidacy to actively working against him.

There is no doubt that the guy is a first class jerk, but a jerk hardly worthy of the attention he's receiving. His views re. race hardly come as a surprise to anyone that's had more than a passing acquaintance with the guy.

But everyone is going to act surprised, aren't they?

The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way. The liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor, and by winning the friendship and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political football game. Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football, and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball. Through tricks of tokenism and false promises, and they have the willing cooperation of Negro leaders. These leaders sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains.

As a black man active in Republican politics, I find it noteworthy that I never feel excluded or stigmatized by other Republicans on account of my race. Race never comes up at a Tea Party meeting, or a Republican political convention, or when socializing with my conservative and libertarian cohort. On the contrary, all my encounters with race-obsessed individuals have been with self-professed liberals who treat me like a freak show exhibit.

Leftists demand an explanation for my politics. How is it possible that a black man could be a Tea Partier? How is it possible that a black man could vote Republican? What’s wrong? What’s the angle? What secret deficiency or corruption explains this oddity? The curiosity is racist in and of itself, because it proceeds from an assumption about how people “like me” ought to think.

Then I see the vile treatment of personages like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In the wake of the court’s recent verdict upholding Michigan voters’ choice to ban state-mandated racial discrimination (euphemistically called affirmative action), Thomas became the target of viciously racist comments from supporters of “progressive” policy.

Most recently, we learn that long-time Democrat Party contributor and Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling faces compelling accusations of racism. Prior to TMZ reporting on obtained audio which seems to record Sterling making blatantly racist remarks to his girlfriend, the NBA owner was slated to received a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP in May. Presumably, he would have accepted it eagerly.

How do we reconcile this? Why would a racist who doesn’t want his girlfriend publicly associating with black men support a political party which claims to represent the best interests of black people? How can a racist be seen by the NAACP to merit recognition for a lifetime of philanthropic achievement?

Psychological projection is “a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people.” When I encounter people convinced that blacks labor under the weight of insurmountable racism, I suspect they harbor bigotry of their own. They may not express it quite like Donald Sterling, but their worldview brims with the soft bigotry of low expectations.

If you think blacks a lower form of man than whites, but still like to think of yourself as a “good person,” it makes sense that you would support public policy which segregates “those people” for special treatment. They need your beneficent help, after all. They can’t possibly make it on their own. Indeed, if you’re being completely honest with yourself, the idea that blacks might lay full claim to their own achievements bothers you. You need them to be lesser so you can feel greater. You need them to need you.

That’s why racists would, and I believe do, vote Democrat. At some point during the civil rights movement, the racists within the Democrat Party who opposed equal treatment under the law resigned themselves to a new form of unequal treatment.

Donald Sterling is the kind of racist that hired Elgin Baylor to be his General Manager in 1986. To put that into perspective, it was the following year when Los Angeles Dodgers GM Al Campanis went on national TV during the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking MLB's color barrier to tell a shocked Ted Koppel that African-Americans "might not have some of the necessities to be" a manager or a general manager. Campanis was promptly fired. However, he was later hired by sociologist Dr. Harry Edwards (who had been hired by MLB Commissioner Peter Uebberoth in the wake of Campanis' remarks) to assist him in increasing minority representation in MLB front offices.

Although Baylor spent 22 years as the Clippers GM, he enjoyed only two winning seasons during his tenure before being let go in 2008. I can't imagine any other organization keeping a GM for two decades with only two winning seasons to show for it. Nevertheless, Baylor subsequently sued Sterling for race and age discrimination, but a jury ruled in favor of Sterling. Despite Baylor's lawsuit, it didn't prevent the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP from bestowing Sterling with its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. He was to receive another Lifetime Achievement Award from the NAACP next month until shortly after the story broke.

It is true that Sterling was sued by the Department of Justice back in 2006 for housing discrimination. Sterling and the DOJ settled out of court without Sterling admitting liability.

It appears that the 80-year old Sterling possesses a typical 1960s white liberal attitude towards African-Americans. He might have no problem hiring African-Americans, but he doesn't want to live next door to nor associate with them in a social setting on an equal footing much less see them hanging around his daughter (or in this case his girlfriend). This is the kind of racist Donald Sterling is. It's like old Phil Ochs' lyric: "I love Puerto Ricans and Negros as long as they don't move next door/So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal." For that matter, one could watch Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. (For the record, Sterling is a registered Republican who has donated money to Democrats.).

Rising GOP star Mia Love handily secured the Republican nominee Saturday to replace retiring Rep. Jim Matheson’s (D-Utah).

The former Saratoga Springs, Utah, mayor raked in more than 78 percent of the vote at the party’s nominating convention, while businessman Bob Fuehr received just about 22 percent, according to multiple reports. The victory makes her one step closer to becoming the first black female Republican ever elected to Congress.

Now, she will face off against Democrat Doug Owens, a Salt Lake City attorney who garnered 98 percent of his party’s support at his own party’s convention.

Love quickly became a party favorite after her 2012 Republican National Convention speech captured national attention. In the speech, she talked about her parents’ immigration to the U.S. from Haiti, and attacked President Obama for policies that she said failed to improve the country.

Yes, it's the left who hate minorities and the right who embraces all religions and ethnicities. That's why the Dems dominate just amongst WASPS and the GOP dominates everywhere else.
 
“I used to think the left wing was the home of tolerance, open-mindedness, respect for all viewpoints

But, now I’ve learned the truth the hard way.“


The big lesson for me [working at NPR] was the intolerance of so-called liberals. I say intolerance because I grew up as a black Democrat in Brooklyn, N.Y., and always thought it was the Archie Bunker Republicans who practiced intolerance. My experience at NPR revealed to me how rigid liberals can be when their orthodoxy is challenged. I was the devil for simply raising questions, offering a different viewpoint, not shutting my mouth about the excesses of liberalism — a bad guy, a traitor to the cause.

Judging from the cut-n-paste spewnami, the Chief is really hurting this morning.
 
The ol' double-standard...

A journalist from Buzzfeed asked for Frank's reaction to Baldwin's past rants, which included nasty comments aimed at a former aide to Gov. Mitt Romney. Does that have an impact on his LGBT bona fides?

First of all, each of us is perfectly capable of talking for himself,” Frank said. “The notion that when you appear in some common forum with someone that you’re each adopting the other’s views, no I don’t pay much attention to that. And secondly, Mr. Baldwin is perfectly capable of explaining himself, but I don’t have any problem with it at all.”

Liberals get a pass.
 
Throb, you should be grateful that liberals are so tolerant of their racists and homophobes, otherwise everyone would have you on ignore, but you get a pass because you so openly hate the right groups while keeping your true feelings close to the vest.
 
The Chief is doin' his best to deflect this morning.
