REAL RACISM (CONT.)

Ken Berwitz

Here is the latest in a series detailing real incidents of racism - as opposed to the phony ones we are sometimes "treated" to.

Excerpted from Michael Martinez' article at cnn.com:

37-year-old white supremacist, Kevin William Harpham, was sentenced Tuesday to 32 years in prison for placing a bomb-laden backpack along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane, Washington, in January, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Harpham, an unemployed electrician from Colville, Washington, pleaded guilty in September to charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to commit a federal hate crime.

Shrapnel in the "improvised explosive device" contained anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting, authorities said.

After he is released from prison, Harpham will serve the rest of his life under court supervision, federal prosecutors said.

 

"Harpham admitted that he is a white supremacist and white separatist, and that he placed the explosive device at the march with the intent to cause bodily injury to the person or persons in order to further his racist beliefs," a Justice Department statement said.

Is there racism out there?  You bet your life there is, and plenty of it.

Which makes it all the more sad when the term is trivialized by people who use it to deflect legitimate criticism - like, most recently, our lying, incompetent Attorney General eric holder. 

No, eric holder, you are not being criticized because you are Black.  You are being criticized because you are a lousy Attorney General and because you lied to our faces about Operation Fast and Furious.

It is people like holder who do all victims of real racism a disservice.  They should (but probably never will be) ashamed of themselves for it.

Ken Berwitz zeke - all true (other than marc rich, which was a reason not to make him AG in the first place). That is why I separated calling him a lousy Attorney General from calling him a liar regarding Fast and Furious. Thanks for filling in the specifics. (12/21/11)

Zeke .... .... Other reasons to send Holder packing: .... Marc Rich pardon .... Black Panther voter intimidation -- Holder dropped the case AFTER conviction ..... refusal to enforce Voter Law requiring dead and moved people to be removed from voter rolls .... no meaningful steps against voter fraud .... a policy of ignoring discrimination cases where whites are the victims .... ....

At "Hopelessly Partisan" we discuss all issues, big and small. Such as:

-Could the Obama administration have been more inept, incompetent, misfeasant and dishonest about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya?

-When will President Obama stop lying about the effect of the sequester - which is doing little other than saving the taxpayers money?

-What century will Egyptian women's rights wind up in after the Muslim Brotherhood is through?

-How many layoffs and reduced hours will companies inflict on workers because they are forced to pay for ObamaCare?

-After Hagel and Brennan, is Obama finished with picking anti-Israel appointments, or will there be more?

- Right down to:

-Who wants Piers Morgan least? The USA or the UK?

-Will Lindsey Lohan dry up, just go away, or both? (I'm rooting for both)

-Does anyone care that Chris Hayes has a show on MSNBC - including his immediate family?

In here, nothing is sacred and nothing is out of bounds.

So settle back, preferably after laughing your way through a copy of "The Hopelessly Partisan Guide To American Politics", and let the battle begin. In this blog, your opinion counts every bit as much as anyone else's, maybe even more.

And to show that my willingness to provide all sides of the issues is sincere, here are links to a variety of web sites, from the left, the middle (more or less) and the right. Read them and either smile in agreement or gnash your teeth in anger!!
