Fox News Calls MSNBC Anchor Contessa Brewer "Stupid"!
Tonight on the Fox News show Red Eye,the host Greg Gutfeld & his guests all agreed that MSNBC reporter Contessa Brewer is not a racist for confusing Jesse Jackson with Al Sharpton.She blamed the teleprompter after she looked at Rev. Jesse Jackson & called him Rev. Al Sharpton.Gutfeld said that she was just "stupid".And when Gutfeld said that he thought he was "beautiful & moronic",I doubled over in laughter.
I'm definitely not a Fox News fan.I love to hear all opinions.Even those that differ greatly from mine.But this time,I agree wholeheartedly with Greg Gutfeld.Contessa Brewer could most assuredly be described as "beautiful and moronic." Not everyone can have both brains & beauty.
I hate to admit it.But,Greg Gutfeld made a really great point.He said that if that had been someone over at Fox News who made that mistake that station would have been vilified.
Contessa Brewer is certainly lucky that she works for MSNBC.Maybe some folks won't react like I did to her "goof".The thought that immediately came to my mind was that Ms. Brewer thinks all black folks look alike.Her mistake was really that inexplicable to me.
For your information,this is not the first time that Greg Gutfeld has clowned Contessa Brewer on his show.I've included above the video of the Red Eye segment that lambastes Contessa Brewer for giving a misleading report.

MSNBC Reporter Mistakes Rev. Jesse Jackson For Al Sharpton!
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
MSNBC News anchor Contessa Brewer really made an ass out of herself on national television today.Before interviewing Jesse Jackson about the economy,she introduced him as Rev. Al Sharpton.I know everyone makes mistakes,but damn!Contessa knows that those two don't look like each other at all.Not even a little bit.
You can't blame the script you were reading for that serious goof,Contessa Brewer.

Marc Lamont Hill Is No Longer A Fox News Contributor!
Marc Lamont Hill is the very attractive liberal pundit & college professor that was employed by Fox News.That is up until recently.There were rumors floating out there in the blogosphere about Hill's termination.And unfortunately for the ladies,it turned out to be true.The handsome educator will no longer share his opinion with Fox viewers because some people think that he defends the wrong folks.
Here's more on that from The Huffington Post:
"Liberal Fox News analyst Dr. Marc Lamont Hill has been fired, News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch revealed at a shareholder's meeting Friday.
Murdoch made the announcement after being asked about Hill's "reputation of defending cop killers and racists."
"Relax, y'all. Don't believe the internet rumors," Lamont Hill tweeted earlier today, but he would later confirm the news to the Huffington Post, saying, "I am no longer employed by Fox News and grateful for the opportunity and I have nothing bad to say."
Lamont Hill's credibility as a commentator had been called into question by David Horowitz last month:
I find [O'Reilly's] continued promotion of Professor Marc Lamont Hill an embarrassment to his own standards and an insult to the intelligence of African Americans particularly and his entire audience generally. Tonight he interviewed Hill for an entire segment on the subject of Iran, as though Hill had anything intelligent to say on the subject."(END OF EXCERPT)

Maxi Sopo Is The Fugitive That Gave Facebook Updates On His Whereabouts!
Maxi Sopo is the dumb ass fugitive that snitched on himself by posting updates on his whereabouts & lifestyle on Facebook! Talk about your stupid criminals.This fool is going to go down in the annals of history as one of the dumbest criminals on the face of the earth!
Here's more on this idiot from The Post and Courier:
"Maxi Sopo was living the dream of a fugitive abroad, kicking back on the beaches of Cancun by day, partying in the clubs by night.
Then he did two things that are never a good idea when you're on the run from authorities: He started posting Facebook updates about how much fun he was having, then added a former Justice Department official to his list of friends.
Because of that indiscretion, the 26-year-old native of Cameroon is now in a Mexico City jail awaiting extradition to the United States on bank fraud charges. Federal prosecutors said he and an associate falsely obtained more than $200,000 from Seattle-area banks and credit unions.
"He was making posts about how beautiful life is and how he was having a good time with his buddies," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Scoville, who helped find Sopo. "He was definitely not living the way we wanted him to be living, given the charges he was facing."
Even in the hold-nothing-back world of social networking, where police search Facebook photos for evidence of underage drinking and watch YouTube videos to identify riot suspects, it's rare that a fugitive helps authorities this much.
In status updates, Sopo said he was "loving it" and "living in paradise."
"LIFE IS VERY SIMPLE REALLY!!!!" he wrote June 21. "BUT SOME OF US HUMANS MAKE A MESS OF IT...REMEMBER AM JUST HERE TO HAVE FUN PARTEEEEEEE."
Sopo, who came to the United States in about 2003, made a living selling roses in Seattle nightclubs until, according to prosecutors, he moved on to bank fraud.
He apparently drove a rented car to Mexico in late February after learning that federal agents were investigating the alleged fraud scheme.
Investigators initially could find no trace of him on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, and they were unable to pin down his location in Mexico.
Several months later, Secret Service agent Seth Reeg checked Facebook again, and up popped Maxi Sopo. His photo showed him wearing a black jacket as he stood in front of a party backdrop featuring logos of BMW and Courvoisier cognac."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

President Obama Wins The Nobel Peace Prize!
With all of the criticism being thrown at the first black president of the United States,I am extremely glad that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.Finally,he is getting the praise that he deserves.The Norwegian Nobel Committee appreciates the fact that he is all about peace.While his critics call him weak for working to obtain world peace,others praise him for it.I do.
And for those who thought it was funny when President Obama couldn't bring the Olympics to Chicago,the joke is really on you.Being a Nobel Laureate is a way better prize.Congratulations,President Obama!!
Here's more from MSNBC:
"President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president.
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."
The committee said it attached special importance to Obama's vision of, and work for, a world without nuclear weapons.
"Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play," the committee said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

I Can't Believe That Kandi's Fiancee,AJ Jewell, Got Killed!
I'm sure that you've heard by now that Real Housewives of ATL cast member Kandi Burruss is dealing with the death of her ex-fiancee. AJ Jewell was killed in a strip club brawl in Atlanta.It's so,so sad.Especially since he leaves behind six children.I will pray for his entire family & Kandi.
Here's more from wsbtv.com:
"Atlanta police have made an arrest in the death of Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, the former fiancĂ© of Atlanta "housewife" Kandi Burruss.
Atlanta police told Channel 2 Action News that Jewell received a severe head injury during a fight at The Body Tap Club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta.
"It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head," said Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows. Meadows said Jewell was taken to Piedmont Hospital where he later died.
Police said Fredrick Richardson, an employee at the strip club, is charged with voluntary manslaughter and currently being held at Grady Detention in connection with the crime. Authorities said Richardson, who was also injured, will be transported to the Fulton County Jail once he is cleared by medical personnel.
Burruss is the newest cast member of the hit reality show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and is coping with Jewell's tragic death. Jewell also appeared regularly on the show.
Burruss' publicist, Lisa Nelson, confirmed to wsbtv.com reporter Brian Johnson that the incident has left the Atlanta "housewife" stunned and speechless. Burruss posted a message on her Twitter page Saturday expressing how the incident has left her devastated.
"I could never in a million years imagine this happening. Please pray for A.J.'s children ... that's who i'm the most concerned for. I'm about to give my swollen eyes some rest now. I just wanted to say thanks two everyone for their prayers," said Burruss."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Whoopi Goldberg's Statements About The Roman Polanski Case Disgusts Me!!!!
Whoopi Goldberg probably doesn't give a damn about how I feel about her.But,I will share my opinion of this delusional woman anyway!Why do I call her crazy,you ask? Well,let's start with the fact that she was perfectly comfortable with her then lover,Ted Danson,sporting blackface at the Friars Club back in 1993.She defended his distasteful act vigorously.Here's an excerpt from Jet magazine about the incident:
"She theorized that some of the criticism is coming from people "who are trying to get back at Ted's and my relationship. I told him that if he was going to be in a friendship with me he would have to expect this (hate mail)."
She is most upset with the Friars Club for apologizing for the evening's activities. "The x-rated stuff is a Friars Club tradition. Should the roasters have to tiptoe around me because I'm a Black woman?"
She fears that people will see the picture of Danson (in blackface) and "make judgments simply on the picture and not understand the whole story. And that," she said, "is upsetting!"
But Danson's routine fell short of comical for many of those attending the annual closed-door affair in the grand ballroom of the New York Hilton. Celebrities on hand who stared in disbelief when Danson entered in blackface included dais guest Jasmine Guy, Sugar Ray Leonard, Shari Belafonte, Vanessa Williams, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Anita Baker, Beverly Johnson and Mr. T. Others in attendance included Michael Douglas, Robert Guillaume and talk show host Montel Williams, who stormed out of the ceremony.
Danson, who starred opposite Goldberg in Made In America, cut loose with a barrage of sexual jokes, most of which dealt with Black stereotypes, and he used the term "nigger" more than a dozen times during the evening. He also spoke graphically about his sex life with Goldberg and her private parts.
According to Danson, when he took Goldberg home to meet his parents in June 1992, she "fitted right in" because she did the dishes and the laundry. He went on to describe their wild sexual antics upstairs and said his concerned mother came to the door distressed over the possibility of their having children.
After his quick departure, talk show host Williams immediately sent a telegram announcing his resignation from the exclusive male-only club. He wrote, "I was confused as to whether or not I was at a Friars event or at a rally for the KKK and Aryan Nation."
Williams added, "When Ted made the jokes about the racially mixed kids, and everyone knows my wife is White and just gave birth to our child, I could see my wife start to cry. If that's what Whoopi and Ted find funny in their bedroom, it's not funny to the outside world."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
We know that she has no self pride,even though she sports dreadlocks.
So,it should come as no surprise that Whoopi Goldberg would come to Roman Polanski's defense.Apparently,this dumb ass woman thinks that it is okay for a over grown man to have sex with a 13 yr. old girl.She felt the need to clarify,on The View,her belief that what Roman Polanksi did was not "rape-rape".What a ditz!
Here's an excerpt from a great letter to Whoopi from attorney & television legal analyst, Wendy Murphy:
"Dear Whoopi;
This week on “The View,” you said Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to “unlawful sex with a minor” but that it wasn’t “rape rape.” So I’ve been wondering - What the hell is “rape rape”?
I know you said your point was to articulate the nature of the crime to which he pleaded guilty – which, you said, was somehow DIFFERENT from “rape.”
It isn’t.
“Unlawful sex with a minor” IS the crime of child rape in California.
So again – I ask you – how is “rape rape” different from “rape”?
Regular folks understand “rape” to mean “sexual penetration without consent” – and of course, consent is irrelevant when the victim is a child.
The law says “rape” means “sexual penetration.”
The dictionary says “rape” is “forced sexual intercourse.”
No matter which definitional source you use, Whoopi, Polanski “raped” his victim.
So I’m trying to understand what you meant when you say it wasn’t “rape rape.”
Did you mean it wasn’t “real rape”?
What wasn’t “real” enough about the crime for you, Whoopi?
A 43-year-old man forced his penis into a 13-year-old child’s vagina – and then he forced his penis into her anus. How is this “rape” but not “rape rape”?
The victim was not only a child, she was also intoxicated because Polanski gave her booze and drugs before the crime. The child protested – told him to stop – but he continued. She was incapacitated to a point where she could barely walk, much less defend herself against her attacker. Is that enough for “rape rape,” Whoopi?
What would have done it for you? If he’d used a knife – or jumped on her in a dark alley instead of a bed? If it had happened at a homeless shelter instead of the mansion of a famous Hollywood actor? If he’d had to remove a trench coat before committing the crime, rather than silk underwear from a fancy shop on Rodeo Drive?
What if the victim had been a little black girl from a triple decker in the poorest part of Los Angeles? Would that have been “rape rape,” Whoopi? Or would you have still offered the same lame excuse you came up with on "The View" – that “people in other countries see things differently” when middle-aged men force themselves on children.
If it’s true that 13-year-old kids in France are so disrespected they can anticipate being attacked by men, you can and should condemn the practice, not chalk it up to a “cultural difference” as if to suggest the United States might evolve one day to a period of enlightenment when we will be “liberated” enough to celebrate the sexual abuse of children.
Your audience is filled with women who need and deserve the empowerment potential in a show like yours. Cultural values are created, in part, through the dissemination of ideas. You had a chance to explain to millions of people why the personal autonomy, bodily integrity and liberty of all women and children is at stake when even one rapist is not held accountable for his actions.
At a minimum, you could have explained how backward we really are in this country – and how the epidemic of rape and child sex abuse serves as a kind of domestic terrorism that interferes with the freedom of millions of people who are affected by the disproportionate failure of our legal system to redress sexual violence. According to a study submitted to Congress in support of the Violence Against Women Act in the 1990s, by then Sen. Joseph Biden, only 2 percent of rapists spend even one day behind bars. Violence against women and children is grossly under-reported and under-prosecuted, and the data consistently shows that crimes against property are punished much more harshly than crimes against female bodies.
Rather than highlight this profound and pervasive injustice, you bemoaned the fact that Mr. Polanski was compelled to flee the United States after pleading guilty to child rape because he was about to go to jail for “a hundred years.”
Many people would argue he deserved such a sentence, and under California law today but not back then, drugging and raping a child would expose Mr. Polanski to a mandatory minimum term of 25 years behind bars. But because he was allowed to plead guilty to only one of six felonies with which he was originally charged – he faced no more than four years behind bars, and some reports say the judge intended to impose a sentence of only a few weeks of incarceration.
Mr. Polanski arrogantly decided that he shouldn’t spend any time in jail, and he fled this country spinelessly for a nation he knew would not extradite him for his crime. If it’s true, as has been reported, that he took off because he thought it was unfair that he should go to jail after his lawyer worked out a “no jail” deal with the prosecutor, he had a right to withdraw his guilty plea and go to TRIAL – not PARIS.
That Mr. Polanski would show such disrespect for this country’s legal system is a reason to punish him MORE, not less, for his crime. It may be a decades-old case, but it bears stating the obvious, that the law should not reward fugitives for their successful efforts to evade justice.
Nonetheless, Mr. Polanski is a man of wealth and power, and kids don’t vote or have any money. Which is why people like you are so quick to say things that degrade children. Admit it Whoopi, you’d be talking out of the other side of your mouth if filmmaker Polanski were garbageman Polanski.
Next time, try reading the Constitution BEFORE speaking on this topic. There’s nothing in there that says people of influence should not be held accountable for their crimes. In fact, try focusing on the 14th Amendment for a few minutes – especially the part about how all citizens are entitled to “equal protection” of the laws. Then try reading some of our most basic court decisions that discuss how the law is supposed to protect the weak, and deter the cunning.
You have a 13-year-old granddaughter, Whoopi. What does she call you? “Nana”? “Grandma”?
What if she told you that she had been “raped” by a 45-year-old man who stripped her naked and then penetrated her private parts even as she cried “no.” Would you correct her for using the word “rape”? Would you say, “sorry sweetheart – what happened to you was not a ‘rape rape.'”(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
