A Culture of Victimhood: Using Rape as a Weapon

Crossposted from TabithaHale.com This post was brought to my attention today by several women who were obviously incensed by Stacy McCain’s statements. Here is the what I see as the heart of the initial post: If you tumble into a random hook-up with no prior knowledge of the guy’s reputation and he turns out to […]

 

Wonkette: ZOMG!!!11!! PALIN HAS BOOBS!!1!!!!1!!eleventy!!!1

Lots of proverbial ink has been spilled over Sarah Palin and the hypocrisy of the feminists regarding anything involving her. The scum of the blogosphere that is Wonkette published a piece this morning, based on the oh-so-credible tweet of some random minion. The hot topic of the day: Did Palin get breat implants? The fact […]

 

White woman is raped by a Haitian man — white patriarchy is to blame?

It has taken me two days to respond to: this: Ever committed to preserving the dignity of Black men in a world which constantly stereotypes them as violent savages, I viewed this writing as yet one more opportunity to fight “the man” on behalf of my brothers. That night, before I could finish the piece, I […]

 

Stop the Haters: FreedomWorks responds

In light of GeicoGate and the recent accusations from the media regarding the violent rhetoric of the conservative movement, I’ve taken the liberty of editing together the voicemails and emails we’ve received as a result of DC Douglas’ call to contact FreedomWorks. Here’s the result. WARNING: This is intense. Violent language is an understatement. I […]

 


Phil Hare: “I don’t worry about the Constitution”

This video just boggles my mind. He doesn’t know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. “Where in the Constitution does it give you the authority to…” “I don’t know. I don’t know.” And then he pretends to be insulted when they call him a liar. Because he is. And then he […]

 

Rachel Maddow incites violence

Crossposted from TabithaHale.com We recently received this call from an “anonymous source”, if you will. Sheer brilliance. Click to listen.: Do it. Now. Some money quotes: “Be careful what you wish for – the right to bear arms means that everyone: can bear arms.” “We will be fighting you to the death.” “I’m so glad that I […]

 










Live from Haiti: Tuesday morning in Jacmel.

Crossposted from tabithahale.com As I said a couple hours ago, we headed to Sisters of Charity — a Catholic orphanage in Jacmel. The babies there, predictably, broke my heart. There were children that had to be at least 2 and a half years old… who don’t really walk. Babies that are two, that look like […]

 

Live From Haiti: First impressions of Jacmel, and the boy in the blue sweatshirt.

Crossposted from TabithaHale.com I got to Jacmel today. We left Miami early this morning and flew in to Port au Prince. I’m not sure what I expected — but the scene at the airport was crazy. I was told that it wasn’t all that different from normal. The gates were completely swamped with people — […]

 

Live Video Blogging the SOTU!

Melissa Clouthier and I are rocking the video blogging – sorry about my delay. It’s ustream’s fault. Live TV : Ustream 9:54 – I had some seriously unbelievable technical issues. Like, my whole neighborhood was powerless so I apologize. 9:58 – Wow. Did he really just attack the Supreme Court? Had anyone ever gone after […]

Michael Steele: Stop throwing a hissy fit, tea partiers.

So at first, when I heard what Steele said this week I just rolled my eyes and moved on. It didn’t bother me. But I thought about it yesterday. And then I went to the RNC and heard him speak at their “tea party” yesterday and blame everything on the Democrats over and over. And […]

 



Coburn wants the bill read from the Senate floor. All of it. UPDATE: Coburn backing off.

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com. UPDATE: After making the threat earlier this week, Coburn said, “I don’t know” when POLITICO asked if he would force a reading by Senate clerks on the floor. With his colleagues eager to go home for the Thanksgiving break, it’s possible that Coburn may backoff. Thanks, Coburn. The 2,074-page Senate health care […]

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com For those of you that live under a rock, Palin ventured behind enemy lines, so to speak, and made a long awaited appearance on Oprah, designed to coincide with the release of her highly anticipated memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. What better place to catapult a book that is already a […]
