Hey:
source
A video featuring a Kansas legislator criticizing President Barack Obama's policies while wearing a hat describing opossum as "the other dark meat" was removed Thursday from YouTube, where the lawmaker had posted it last month.
Republican Rep. Bill Otto said he didn't remove the video, titled "RedNeck Rap," and didn't know why it had been taken down. Google Inc., YouTube's owner, could offer no explanation.
Otto said criticism of the video was unfounded. He said the hat's saying, which he repeats at the end of the short video, refers to redneck stereotypes, not Obama.
The White House declined to comment Thursday, but Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, called the video "disturbing." He said it's logical to see the reference as being to the first black president's race.
In the video, Otto pauses after criticizing Obama and his policies, repeats the saying on the cap and adds, "A little greasy, but hey."
"It's a reference to rednecks," Otto said during a telephone interview from his home in LeRoy, a small town about 75 miles south of Topeka. "It's like 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' eating opossum bellies, grits and pigs' feet."
The flap comes less than two months after U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, another Kansas Republican, remarked in a public forum that the GOP was still looking for "a great white hope." She later said she wasn't referring to Obama and didn't know of the phrase's past link to pre-civil-rights era racism.
Attempts by AP to access Otto's video Thursday night resulted in a message stating that it had been "removed by the user." Google spokesman Scott Rubin said if a video is removed for violating YouTube's standards, a message would say so.
"With 20 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube, we cannot comment on individual videos," he said in an e-mail message.
Meanwhile, Hensley accused Otto of "bigotry."
"If opossum is the other dark meat, what is the original dark meat he is referring to?" Hensley said. "It is not only thoughtless, but outrageous."
Otto replied: "I don't know where he's getting that."
Hensley, though, pointed to an incident he said happened earlier this year involving Patrick Woods, legislative liaison for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services.
Woods said he encountered Otto in March while walking between the Statehouse and an office building, and Otto said he'd confused Woods with Rod Bremby, the state's secretary of health and environment. Woods said Otto told him, "I almost shot you. You look at lot like Secretary Bremby."
Both Woods and Bremby are black, but Bremby is decades older and has a beard, while Woods does not. Woods said he took the remark as "a terribly inappropriate joke," not a threat.
But Otto said the suggestion that he made such a remark is "totally bunk." He said any encounter with Woods occurred perhaps several years earlier and he only suggested Bremby ought to be fired over how his agency regulated day care centers. Otto said he confused
Woods with Bremby only from a distance and only because he didn't know Woods well.
Hensley also noted Otto sponsored an unsuccessful amendment to the state budget this year to withhold funding for the state advisory commissions on disabilities, African-American Affairs and Hispanic and Latino American Affairs.
Otto called it a cost-saving move amid the state's financial problems, but acknowledged Thursday that he believes it's "racist" for the state to have special commissions for some groups and not others.
"We haven't had an Irish-American council or an Asian-American council," he said.
Typical, typical liberals. They take everything as racist. How many times have liberals made videos or made fun of conservatives? Why aren't they called racist? Hmm...
How many times did he say, "it's about rednecks?" I dunno, I stopped counting after the first 2 times.
Ya know, libs are incredible, seriously! They must have nothing better to do than call people racists. Hey, I think I've found another Czar for Obama to appoint: The Race Czar. Cool, huh? Uh...no not a chance
How many Czars do we have? Oh, like 100, hey, I'm not too far off, am I? *winks*
Ol' Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas can say what she wants, can't she? You don't believe me?
Anyways, she kicked our her, wait for it, gay son...oh, who's the homophobe now? Oh, no I didn't! If you didn't know that, hehe..now you do...
Oh, idk, why are we always getting shot at with different names and stuff. We're all bigots, racists, homophobes (right, we're scared of homosexuals, not because it's against our beliefs or anything) and whatever else.
While we're on the subject of liberals... what up with the health care?! How many times does it take for me to say, Glenn Beck to say, Rush Limbaugh to say, Steven Crowder to say, it will be bad for our country! Canada is trying to bail itself out and we're jumping in. Why?! This isn't going to help anyone, seriously! The libs are all like, "Oh, well, we know this will benefit the country." Benefit the country, seriously? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!
Alright, well I'm done ranting... :-)
Love, Palin, and Crowder,

Olympics Very Important..Right...Wrong!
Hey ya:
So, before I blog, I just wanted to share this freaky weird dream I had last night.
I was like at the mall and I ran into Steven Crowder and we went out for coffee. Weird, huh? Even weirder...I hate coffee...:)
Anyways, tonight I'm gonna write about the whole stupid 2016 Olympics scandal.
So, here's the story below {source}
Let the pitch begin.
First lady Michelle Obama arrived Wednesday morning in Denmark to lead the U.S. delegation promoting Chicago as the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics.
She will be joined two days later by her husband, who is taking an unusual personal stake in the lobbying effort.
But so are the other heads of state involved. Chicago is locked in a tight race with Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo for the games -- and the Obamas will face off against Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva; Spanish King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero; and new Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.
Michelle Obama's plane landed a little before 11:30 a.m. local time, and she was greeted by a contingency that included Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, his wife, Maggie, Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Chicago 2016 president Lori Healey.
She will spend the next two days meeting with International Olympics Committee members, hoping to persuade them to vote for her hometown. President Obama arrives Friday, and both Obamas will be part of Chicago's final presentation before the IOC in Copenhagen.
Obama would be the first U.S. president to take on such a direct role in lobbying for an Olympics event. His trip is expected to be brief, but some critics questioned whether it is appropriate for the president to hit pause on other pressing issues like health care reform and Iran's nuclear program to pitch his hometown.
But the White House said health care reform is moving along and the president "felt strongly and personally that he should go and make the case for the United States."
Gee, isn't this wonderful. Again, how many times have I written about this, Obama is neglecting his responsibilities to do something else. The Olympics will change (all that hope and change, right?) the world as we know it, oui? Huh, don't think so! Thank God for the critics who have "questioned" whether he should be taking a break from his responsibilities. Glad it's not just me. ;)
Did you see the paragraphy above that mentioned the fact that he's the first prez to lobby for the Olympics. Oh, wow. He never ceases to amaze me..what about you? Let me know below.
And Michelle, Michelle, Michelle. Getting involved in everything. Sheesh. Yeah, it is def breaking news if she goes with him and lobbies. *rolls eyes sarcastically*
Ya know, in my mind, Chicago would be the last place I'd want the Olympics to be held.
Reasons:
1) Crime rate. Hey, an athlete could get mugged if they're in the wrong place at the wrong time
2) Hobos. No explanation necessary
3) The people. Basically the same thing as the hobos, but I think you catch my drift here :)
4) Drugs. Some creep named Ice could waddle up and offer some enhancement drugs and the athlete might take some. Hey, anything is possible.
5) I'm against it, so *pbft* it's illegal to do it. jk
Another thing, they took 2 planes to go discuss this whole thing and yet they're all like, "conserve energy." Yeah, they're not at all hypocritics..hmm
Also Valerie Jaret's got a part in this, so you know that can never be good. :) I'll explain that tomorrow...
Oh, well...
Love, Palin, and Crowder

Distinguished Harvard Professor, Mean Police Officer, and Nice Mr. Obama! Oh my!
Hey:
Now, I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I would try to tackle the huge mess of the Harvard Prof. and the police officer. I did my research, like I promised and here it is...
Well, as I understand it, Henry Lou Gates (the black Harvard Prof.) was, according to this abcnews blog, trying to "pry his door open" which resulted in a neighbor calling the police thinking it was a robbery.
"Cambridge police say they responded to the well-maintained two-story home after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry."
By the time police arrived, Gates was already inside. Police say he refused to come outside to speak with an officer, who told him he was investigating a report of a break-in."
"Why, because I'm a black man in America?" Asked Gates, according to a police report written by Sgt. James Crowley
Gates...initially refused to show the officer his identification, but then gave him a Harvard University ID card, according to police.
"Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him," the officer wrote.
Gates said he turned over his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused. He said he then followed the officer as he left his house onto his front porch, where he was handcuffed in front of other officers, Gates said in a statement released by his attorney, fellow Harvard scholar Charles Ogletree, on a Web site Gates oversees, TheRoot.com
He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior." He was released later that day on his own recognizance. An arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 26. abcnews.com>
Well, isn't that wonderful! See, this what I don't get, everyone HAS to bring race into it. Ya know, if we were all colorblind (which we should be!!!!), this sort of thing wouldn't be turned into such a humongous "scandal." Gates is all, "It's race, it's race!" Oh, really? I'm tired of hearing him whine about that "big, mean" police officer. He was doing his job, and I side 150% with Sgt. Crowley. Good for you! You and the other men are great examples of good police work. So, yea for you!
Also, it actually kinda bothers me that Gates had the nerve to say "Because I'm a black man in America." What does being black in America have to do with being arrested. I couldn't care less if you had purple and blue stripes for skin, and your eyes were made out of cotton candy. There you go with the race thing again. But, I think it's really the whole "in America" part. You know what, if you don't like America, go over to Africa or China or go see Kim Jong for a spell and see how awful America is. Same for anyone else who says America's this "land of inequality" or whatever pointy-headed comments you can come up with.
Point 2#
Obama, good ol' Obama, had to get involved. Well, I was hoping (not really, but just kind of) maybe he could look at it fairly instead of judge it by color. Nope! Instead, he calls the actions of the police officers "stupid." Oh, really? It's stupid to do their job? Well, I guess it's stupid for teachers to show up at school, and for security to show up at special events. Hey, I guess he's trying to tell us, "The economy's down the toilet, let's just not do our jobs because that's stupid." Thank you, Barack H. Obama! See, now I don't even need to go to college. Hey mom and dad, I guess we can go to Disney World now. Oh, wait, operating the rides is probably stupid.
By now I'm all ticked off, so then he holds another press conference and then I found this article.
Below............................................ (but I attached the link if you want to read the original article)
In a surprise appearance before the White House press corps, President Barack Obama said Friday he had called the officer who arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and told him he did not mean to malign the Cambridge Police Department.
Obama’s announcement came less than three hours after leaders of several Massachusetts police unions assembled in Cambridge in a show of support for Sgt. James Crowley and called for an apology from the President for calling the arrest “stupid.”
Obama said he could have “calibrated my words differently” in referring during a press conference Wednesday evening to the events surrounding the arrest of the African-American historian by the white police officer.
Obama related that during his five-minute conversation with Crowley, he expressed that both Crowley and Gates had over-reacted when Crowley came to Gates’ house to investigate a report of a break-in.
The president denied that he should have not made his earlier comments on the incident, saying that it was the president’s job to work to improve race relations.
It's about time he apologizes! Was it really his place anyways to call someone or something "stupid?" I think not!
You notice he gets all defensive and is all, "calibrated my words differently." No, I don't think so. You said it loud a clear. Yes, of course, we elected you to improve race relations. Not because people liked your politics, or *cough* skin color. Gosh no! (Please, don't hit me for saying the truth!)
Point 3#
Then, just to make sure the three dudes were all cool with each other, he decides to invite to the White House to have beer in the Rose Garden. Golly gee, I'm so glad they're all chummy chummy with each other! It's so nice that he could take time out from the failing economy, and the health-care reform to have some Bud in the garden. Another thing, did you notice the White House folks described them as the "distinguished police officer and the police officer who arrested him?" the description thingy was foundhere
They've been trying to mark this as a "learning experience" and whatnot. But to me, it just seems like it's Obama the Shepherd trying to bring the two herds together. Plus, how is this a learning experience? What are we learning? The big mean white guys are out to get the small, meek African-Americans? (wouldn't want to offend anyone with any other terms, would we now?) Yeah, that's great. Can't wait to see this story in the social studies (never history, of course. where did history go?) textbooks...
Well, I wonder how much I've offended people. Hmm, I'm probably pretty good at that.
Wait, before you go...
I have to include the picture though...
I hate to see my guy Pooh Bear next to Obama. But the two do look a lot alike. AAAHHHH!
Love, Palin, and Crowder...
