Great Googley Moogley
"Harrison", claiming to be John Killian's son (and why would he lie? ) Googles his dad and gets all upset at me pointing out that he (John) was a member of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens. He only joined the CCC because it was "pro-family and against illegal immigration" and was shocked, shocked to find out, after being a member for several years, that it's a hate group. (And nobody who's against illegal immigration is a racist, either.)

Matthew Yglesias: Bye, Bye Brown
Matt is so innocent. He honestly thinks that no state government would allow segregation if the Supreme Court reversed Brown v. Board of Education. Is he aware that, for instance, segregated schools are still the law of the land in Alabama?
Matt may be in Washington now, but he still has that view of the world from that old New Yorker illustration, you know the one -- everything in New York is really big, and almost everything else is small and indistinct. He really underestimates the number of unreconstructed bigots there still are out there. It's adorable.

"Immigrant hunt" follow-up
HoustonChronicle.com - Rumor of 'hunt' for immigrants draws protesters
Ginger sends me this story; it seems that an actual "hunt" at the University of Texas may indeed have been planned by the Texas Young Conservatives, but was cancelled due to "planning issues". The head of the UT branch denies that the event was ever planned, but the publicity director at the University of North Texas -- where such an event did take place in January -- says that the UT branch was going to hold their own edition. And she's on the organization's state board.

I don't believe this
Controversial 'immigrant hunt' event planned at UT
I can't believe that even the Young Conservatives of Texas would be so openly tasteless and racist. It has to be a hoax. I have a couple of emails out to confirm that.
UPDATE: Ginger points me to this entry at Pink Dome, which indicates that it's a hoax or misunderstanding. An event of this type was held, however, by the YCT branch at the University of North Texas, and the organization links to pictures on its front page.
REUPDATE: Chuck emails with a link to Burnt Orange Report, complete with increasingly deranged emails from YCT's chairperson at UT, who seems to think someone's out to get her. She may be right. Or maybe this was planned, and quickly cancelled when word got out. Considering that Texas's Republican elected officials see no problem with nuking Syria or saying that there's no Constitutional separation of Church and State (wow, that takes me back), an "immigrant hunt" is hardly beyond the pale.

Marshall sheriff's official Web site airs anti-gay stance
An Alabama sheriff -- whose first name I won't mention -- has a variety of anti-gay and "traditional values" crap up on his official website. I won't publish his opinions either, but here's a link. According to the Marshall County Commission Chairman, "He is a Roy Moore clone. Take Rush Limbaugh, Roy Moore and Buford Pusser and roll them together and you get [name omitted]." Scary. From a description of how he runs the jail and his office, he apparently thinks he actually is Buford Pusser, or at least Joe Don Baker.

1. One of the four major towns in Marshall County is Arab.
2. It is linked to the county seat (Guntersville) by Alabama 69.

More progress in Alabama Mississippi
Yes, we've moved beyond attacking people for being black to the exciting new world of attacking people for being Arabs! A Jordanian man and his American wife were driving along, with their baby and a couple of relatives in the backseat, when they were run off the road by a man in a pickup truck. The man got out of the truck and brandished a chain saw. Typically, he couldn't get the saw to work, but used it as a club to bash in a window. Since the assailant called them "Arab mother f-----s and foreigners", I think it's pretty safe to assume it was ethnically motivated.
UPDATE: As Kenny points out, it was those redneck bastards in Mississippi who were actually at fault. Oops! I apologize to the redneck bastards of Alabama.

Nobody ever whispered to me
The Atlantic Online | November 2004 | Karl Rove in a Corner | Joshua Green
Okay, we all know that Karl Rove is a slimebag of the highest order. But who knew that he, like his putative boss, spent time corrupting the politics and institutions of my home state? Yes, it's true! Apparently, we're the minor leagues now.
Anyway, Rove allegedly started a whispering campaign at the University of Alabama School of Law insinuating that a Democratic state Supreme Court justice was a pedophile. This was just about the time of my one, regrettable, year of law school there, but nobody ever tried to use me as a conduit for smears. I'm actually rather insulted.
Also, Rove was the architect of much the Business Council of Alabama's still-current strategy of painting Democratic judicial candidates as tools of the plaintiff's bar and their use of "horror stories" of allegedly overgenerous judgments. This actually explains something to me. I've wondered why the Republicans have been so good at getting elected to judicial office (eight of nine current justices are Republicans) while only getting about half the other statewide offices, and Democrats still control the legislature. Maybe it's because they had an Evil Genius design their judicial campaign plan but only local yokels for everything else.
What did Rove learn from Alabama? Well, let's just say that he might have gotten some lessons from a recurring character around here:
In the rare instances when he has failed to set the terms of debate, Rove hasn't fared nearly so well. Four years ago, in a race to succeed Hooper, who was retiring as Alabama's chief justice, Rove lined up support from a majority of the state's important Republicans behind his candidate, an associate justice named Harold See. Like most of Rove's clients, See had an enormous financial advantage and ran a brutally negative campaign—but he was nonetheless trounced by Roy Moore, the "Ten Commandments" judge, who succeeded in making the race about religion. This loss may have helped Rove to recognize the power of religion as a political motivator: from the question of gay marriage to organizing churches for Bush, it features prominently in his playbook for the current election.
Yes, the long-sought Roy/Rove link at last.

He's going to fit in just fine
www.cw.ua.edu - King decried gay groups
Alabama's new Attorney General was a law student at the University of Alabama when I was an undergrad there. He used to take time out of the busy law student schedule (mostly studying and beer, in my experience) to write editorials for the student paper. Said student paper has taken the trouble to dig up some excerpts. Roy Moore couldn't have done better.
www.cw.ua.edu - Full text of three King editorials
The picture on the front page of Monday's issue of The Crimson White looked like the front page of Sodom and Gomorrah News the day before those cities were destroyed...The existence of the Gay/Lesbian alliance on this campus is an affront to the state of Alabama, its citizenry, this diversity and its students...
I have read amusedly over the past few days and weeks as one homosexual after another has attempted to justify their deviant behavior as normal. The folks at Seen and Heard and the Gay/Lesbian Alliance are indeed getting desperate...
However, perhaps if the male homosexuals were more comfortable with their femininity and females were secure in their masculinity, then this campus and this state would not now be embroiled in this controversy. You may call me a homophobe or you can call me a bigot, but the fact still remains that the majority of America still calls me right...
In this day of rampant decadence, many homosexuals would mislead society into believing that three men, an armadillo and a house plant create a functional family...
[Liberals]willingly send American soldiers to die in battles of intervention in faraway lands but they refuse to restrain their own sexual urges to prevent the spattering of infants' blood on the cold walls of an abortion clinic...
Those are some highlights. There's a lot more, and I don't think this is his entire oervre... To address one point (not quoted above): When the Student Government Association tried to get an AG's opinion as to paying student fees to gay and lesbian groups in '92, the SGA was completely under the control of the fraternity/sorority group called "the Machine". It was not representative of the student body at large and was notably more conservative.

Comments regarding Mel Gibson, his anti-semitic Family, & the growing problem of Anti-Semitism around the world
All I have to say is that if any of you have been reading Mel Gibson's father Hutton Gibson's comments of late, it should not be a great shock where Mel's ideas about Jews come from.
I think it should be of little doubt to people that the Gibson family are clearly a bunch of Jew-hating anti-semites, this is not in question at this point. The only question becomes how long before Jaques Chirac gives Mel & his dad dual keys to the city in Paris.
The thing that's being lost in this growing hoopla over this film is what Jews are going through around the world; from Rabbis being beaten in the streets of Paris, to Synagogues being burned in Tunisia, to anti-semitic U.N. councils condemning Israel on everything from a protective fence (something MANY countries enjoy) to how often Ariel Sharon blows his nose.
Jews receive a daily dose of anti-semitism, anti-zionism, and anti-Israel comments and proclamations almost DAILY. You should see the amount of articles on the subject I receive every morning from my father and others.
And now Jews get one of the biggest film stars in the world, Mel Gibson, to kick us when we are down. Thanks, mel. Thaks alot. I have spoken with many other Jews about their feelings regarding the way Jews are obviously being depicted in this film coming out and all everyone does is shake their head and smile knowingly.
THIS IS WHAT JEWS GO THROUGH EVERYDAY.
Muslims & the Islamic world spread lies upon lies everyday that Israel is evil and that Jews were behind 9-11 and every other defamatroy thing you can think of. They also help perpetuate the lies hutton Gibson and his types believe about people "exaggerating" the Holocaust. Yet somehow, many liberals in this country & all of Europe tries to protray the nearly billion population of Muslims, the perpetuators of EVERY SINGLE TERRORIST ATTACK EVER ON A SMALL OR BIG SCALE as the victims.
The point of this letter I am writing is that "Passion of the Christ" is merely one symptom in a much, much larger problem. Anti-Semitism.
People all over the world deny and deny again the exsistance of it yet it continues to grow and grow and grow. It's a growing sickness and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be enough support or sympathy for the Jewish & Israeli communities to truly stomp this out. It's very scary stuff for me and a lot of people. Particularly, because hatred of Jews & Israel is so widespread and so mainstream.

The good thing about your garden-variety white supremecists is that they have the collective IQ of paint. Take, for example, the six bozos who decided to light a cross on a woman's lawn because her daughter was dating a biracial man. After getting it lit, one of them called 911 to report the fire. He was afraid that the dry woods would catch on fire.
The mother, meanwhile, says her father was in the Klan, but that the Klan wasn't involved in this because "The Klan had morals. If a man was drinking up his paycheck and abused his kids, the Klan stepped in." Riiiiiiight.

Why we'll miss Roy Moore
Massachusetts ruling could lead to challenges elsewhere
Two reasons related to gay marriage:
1) He was forcing, by counterexample and attracting attention, Bill Pryor to behave himself.
2) When the local case got before the Alabama Supreme Court -- and one will, sooner or later -- St. Roy would have been sure to say something insane. Remember, Roy may hate secularists and non-Christians in general, but who he really hates is gays. Remember when he said that homosexuality was inherently evil and actually went too far even for a court that unanimously gave custody of three children to an abusive father because their mother was a lesbian?

Malaysian prime minister refuses to back down from speech in which he said Jews rule the world Moonbat Mahathir claims that Jerry Falwell didn't get criticized for calling Mohammed a terrorist, so it's okay for him to say that Jews rule the world. Leaving aside that two wrongs don't make a right, I seem to recall Falwell getting a lot of grief for his insane rantings. Personally, I was snide. Also, Jerry Falwell isn't a head of state. See, he actually doesn't have any clue. He seems to think that he made a factual statement that some people found offensive, not a nutty conspiracy theory rant. It's pretty simple; if a Muslim is a terrorist you can call him a terrorist. If a Jew is a terrorist, you can call him one as well. I have myself. What you don't do is start reading from the Protocols. Let's just remember one thing: this guy is a nut and has been for many years.

This time, he says that Jews rule the world by proxy and that Israel is "the enemy allied with most powerful nations". Hey, is he talking about us? He also gave credit, or blame, to the Jews for inventing socialism, communism, human rights, and democracy. This was a speech to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, so it was probably blame. Basically, it was the "I admire the Jews for using their brains to oppress us" crap we often hear from our native white supremecists.

Bush Looking for Means to Prevent Gay Marriage in U.S. Yes, this is surely what the Founders had in mind. Let's reiterate... The Bushies are in favor of the states when it comes to stuff like public assistance or Head Start. But they're in favor of the Federal government when it comes to anything having to do with drugs and sex. If I may, my understanding is that whenever it comes to helping poor people or educating children, it's none of the Federal government's business, but anything that enhances human freedom must be crushed at the highest level, lest some state decide to go against the Republican platform. Meanwhile, the Gaybasher in Chief believes in "the sanctity of marriage". (Does that mean he's going to come out against divorce next?) So it has to be "codified". Gosh, isn't codifying that sort of thing supposed to be God's job, not Congress'?

Savage Anti-Semitism: Radio host takes ethnic aim at Jewish enemies Of Jerry Springer: "[I]nvites the lowest white trash he can dig his hands on . . . and he makes a mockery of them, and makes a living on it with his hooked nose..." Of Joe Lieberman: "Now he’s throwing his bagel into the ring to be president." (Among other slurs.) Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer: "Yentas". On war dead: "And when you look at the graves, could you tell me what percentage of the graves have crosses on them, what percentage have Stars of David, and what percentage have a crescent on them?" "I like seeing crosses on our war memorials. You know why? Because 99.9 percent of those who died were Christians!" Of course, the Savage Weiner was born Jewish. Weird.

Poles End 1941 Jewish Massacre Probe Hundreds of Jews were killed in the massacre at Jedwabne in 1941; in the Communist era historians blamed the Germans almost entirely. That's almost certainly not so; in fact, it appears that the Germans served only as instigators and supervisors, while Poles did the actual killing. But the three-year investigation ended with nobody being charged.

I've seen some people criticizing the Liberal Media (TM) for not pointing out that Lester Maddox was a Democrat when he was governor of Georgia, while mentioning that Strom Thurmond was a Republican. It's a silly complaint. Leaving aside that Thurmond was an active politician just a year ago while Maddox was out of the public eye for a quarter century, there are very good reasons for the apparent dichotomy. For one thing, any detailed biography of Thurmond would mention that he was a Democrat at the beginning of his career. It would also mention his split with the national party in 1948 because of his racist policies, and his switch to the Republican Party for basically the same reason. For another, everyone in the South, basically, was a Democrat up until 1968 or so. There were racist Democrats and non-racist Democrats, and no real two-party system. I've mentioned this before, but a few years ago, George Wallace Jr. switched from the Democrats to the Republicans. His stated reason was his belief that his father's "principles" were now better represented by the Republicans.

Why is Tim Blair, seemingly an otherwise normal enough human being, considered a right-wing extremist in his native land? Probably because the left wing is full of people like Malcolm Knox. Dear God.

Former Georgia Gov. Maddox Is Gravely Ill One of the last of the scumbag segregationist leaders, Lester Maddox, is about to go meet his master. About time, too. He's already "suffered numerous illnesses since leaving the public spotlight, including cancer, a stroke, kidney stones, two heart attacks and an intestinal blockage."

Smoot to salute gay pride group Jefferson County Commissioner (and former TV reporter) Shelia Smoot proposed a resolution last week honoring Central Alabama Pride, a gay celebration in Birmingham. Needless to say, some of her compatriots went wacko. "It was wrong to even confront us with this," Collins said. "If you want to get right down to it, they represent activities that are illegal. "I have never seen one of their marches, but according to reliable sources, they dress in revealing attire," Collins said. October 17, 2003
