ANGER AT INCOMPETENCE AND DERELICTION


The oil spill


by Kevin Shafer Contributing Writer


in the Gulf and more important- ly the response to it by both BP and the feder- al government has been a di- saster that has angered many Americans, es- pecially those


who live in the Gulf Coast such as myself. It has been a combi- nation of a lack of empathy and a lack of basic competence that is fueling this anger. When in- novative new methods to clean up the oil in the Gulf have been posted on YouTube and have been completely ignored by both BP and the Obama Administra- tion, something’s wrong. When several different countries of- fered to lend us their expertise and assistance in cleaning up


the spill but the Obama Admin- istration turned them away, you know that competent leadership is nowhere to be found. BP first of all cut multiple corners and ignored safety stan- dards that could have prevented the oil rig from exploding and casting millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. Then, in the ongo- ing aftermath of this disaster, the company has been blatantly dishonest about just how bad the spill was. BP officials have consistently underestimated the number of gallons of oil that have been gushing into the Gulf. But the government should not


be let off the hook here. It was the Interior Department that gave this particular rig the go-ahead to operate. They didn’t enforce their own safety standard regu- lations that were created to pre- vent exactly this type of disaster from

WHITEWASHING BLACK RACISM


by Michelle Malkin Syndicated Columnist


Why haven’t national me- dia outlets re- ported on the vile and vio- lent rants of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) thugs whose 2008 voter intimida- tion tactics got a pass from


the Obama administration? Sim- ple: Radical black racism doesn’t fit the Hope and Change narra- tive. There’s no way to shoehorn Bush-bashing into the story. And, let’s face it, exposing the inflam- matory rhetoric of the left does nothing to help liberal editors and reporters fulfill their true calling -- embarrassing the right. This week, Justice Department


whistleblower J. Christian Adams came forward with damning pub- lic testimony about how Obama officials believe “civil rights law should not be enforced in a race- neutral manner, and should nev- er be enforced against blacks or other national minorities.” In the wake of Adams’ expose on how the Obama DOJ abandoned de- fault judgments against the NBPP bullies for the sake of politically correct racial politics, a shocking video clip of one of the lead de- fendants in the Philadelphia voter intimidation case resurfaced on the Internet. It shows bloodthirsty King Samir Shabazz during a 2009 National Geographic docu- mentary interview spewing: “You want freedom? You’re


gonna have to kill some crackers! You’re gonna have to kill some of their babies!” These NBPP death threats and white-bashing diatribes are noth- ing new to those who have tracked the black supremacy move-


ment. In August 2009, nearly a year ago, I reported on a sign on display outside NBPP defendant (and elected member of Phila- delphia’s 14th Ward Democrat- ic Committee) Jerry Jackson’s home. It reads: “COLORED ONLY: No Whites Allowed.” In July 2009, I interviewed poll watcher/wit- ness Christopher Hill, whom Sha- bazz and Jackson called “cracker” several times while Shabazz bran- dished his baton. “They physically attempted to


block me,” Hill recounted. He also saw a group of elderly ladies walk away from the polling site without voting while the duo preened in front of the entrance. “If you’re a poll watcher, you shouldn’t be dressed in paramilitary garb,” Hill said, as he wondered aloud at what would have happened if he had showed up in the same sort of costume. In May 2009, I reported on the


affidavit of civil rights attorney and poll watcher Bartle Bull, who witnessed the NBPP thug- gery in Philadelphia and reported on billy club-wielding Shabazz’s election day boast: “You’re about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.” In the fall of 2008, just days


before he showed up to hector white poll workers, Shabazz told the Philadelphia Inquirer “I’m about the total destruction


of white people. I’m about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my en- emy... The only thing the cracker understands is violence... The only thing the cracker under- stands is gunpowder. You got to take violence to violence.” The desire to kill, subordinate


and demonize white people is a staple of NBPP propaganda. An NBPP Trenton, N.J., chapter See MALKIN on 35
