Two Veteran D.C. Police Officers Were Scrutinized Because Of Their Racist Views Before Obama's Inauguration!

Look at the picture above that has all of the arguments that the KKK makes against Barack Obama.This almost looks exactly like right-wing talking points.Pretty scary,isn't it? Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity,Glen Beck,Bill O'Reilly,Lou Dobbs,& countless others have made these same arguments on their shows.Is it any wonder that all of those men have been branded racists?They obviously share the same point of view as the KKK.And the two D.C. police officers who were associating with racists before Barack Obama's inauguration must feel the same way too!That's why the FBI zeroed in them.Here's more from The Washington Post:

"An FBI investigation that included taped surveillance had placed two off-duty veteran Capitol Police officers in the company of individuals whose racial views and capacity for violence were under scrutiny. Although the recorded discussion did not center on Obama, federal law enforcement officials wanted to ensure that the officers were not on duty covering the Capitol, where the president took the oath of office, according to two sources involved in the matter.

The FBI alerted Capitol Police officials, but some federal officials grew concerned when no immediate action was taken, according to the sources. Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan voiced his frustration to then-Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, according to a senior federal official with knowledge of the incident. Chertoff, a former federal appeals court judge, told officials that if the Capitol Police did not act, he was prepared to take the issue to members of Congress overseeing the inauguration, the senior federal official said.

"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. . . . But there are codes of conduct that are necessary for law enforcement and people in positions of public trust," said one senior federal official with knowledge of the episode. Common sense dictated, the official added, that the swearing-in of the nation's first black president was not a time to take chances.

The episode underscores the extraordinary precautions that law enforcement agencies took in the days before Obama's inauguration, including scouring their own ranks for possible security risks. Officials have offered few specifics about their work to protect the president, a coordinated effort directed by the Secret Service and overseen by Chertoff that drew on scores of federal, state and local agencies.

Officials have said that a principal concern was the possibility of hate crimes spurred by racial prejudice, leading them to focus investigative attention before the inauguration on any number of domestic groups with white supremacist views.

The Capitol Police suspended the two officers with pay on Jan. 19, the eve of the inauguration ceremony, pending an internal inquiry into an allegation that they associated with felons in violation of department policy, according to a senior law enforcement official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the personnel matter. The official said the action was taken as soon as officials received the FBI's file and was not precipitated by Chertoff.

"We were well aware of what some of the accusations were -- some of which may have been repugnant, their associations with these guys -- but none of it was criminal or actionable from an administrative" perspective, the official said.

The Washington Post is withholding the names of the officers because the allegations have not yet been substantiated and no one at the Capitol Police department would speak on the record about the case."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

D.L. Hughley Ain't "Breaking The News" Anymore!

So,D.L. Hughley's show got canceled.That's one black show that I'm not sorry to see go.There were far too many cringe-worthy moments for me!And for others!After an earlier post that I did on his show,a lady suggested that I write CNN to get his show off the air!She was so serious that she left me the contact info & everything!Like me,she felt that his show was distasteful & an embarrassment to blacks!Not everyone can use racial stereotypes to drive home a point & make folks laugh,like Dave Chapelle did!D.L. Hughley is no Chris Rock,either.He's not witty enough to carry off a show like that.I knew it wouldn't be long before that show disappeared!Here's more from Cityfile:

"Comedian D.L. Hughley was pummeled by critics when his weekend talk show debuted on CNN last fall. "What the hell was CNN thinking?" a columnist for AdAge asked after watching the first episode. It remains unclear what was running through the minds of CNN execs when they signed him up for the spectacularly unfunny program featuring painfully awkward interviews. But the network may have come to its senses or at least decided to cut its losses. A source tells us that CNN has decided to cancel the show due to "budgetary constraints." We haven't heard back yet from reps at CNN, although the move wouldn't be surprising given CNN's troubles as of late and the fact that HLN (the network you used to know as Headline News) is now "beating its older sibling CNN in the target 25-54 demo," according to Broadcasting & Cable. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more. Update: It's confirmed: Hughley is out. An official statement from CNN and more detail on his departure below."(END OF EXCERPT)Go here to read the rest!

Why Isn't Rihanna Holding Chris Brown Accountable For His Actions?!! Why,Girl,Why?

Domestic violence is a serious issue that seems to be a recurring problem in Rihanna & Chris Brown's relationship.Instead of acknowledging that what Chris Brown did was wrong,they both seem willing to just sail off into the sunset.Rihanna may not want to cooperate with police & forget about what Chris Brown did to her.But unfortunately for her,the public won't let her just file this one away.

People are more concerned about her safety than she seems to be!Why isn't she so angry with him that she could just kill him with her bare hands?I know I would be!Despite Rihanna's unwillingness to deal with her situation,it seems that her injuries were so extensive that the police won't need her testimony to go after Mr. Brown.Both her & Chris Brown want to put this savage beating behind them.But,it might not be that easy.The cops already have what they need.Here's more from The Smoking Gun:

"In case you seek more information about the singer Rihanna's alleged beating at the hands of her boyfriend Chris Brown, a Los Angeles search warrant application further details the February 8 incident involving the chart-topping singers. In a sworn affidavit, LAPD Detective De Shon Andrews provides an account of the attack based on Rihanna's statements to police. The search warrant affidavit, a copy of which you'll find below, was filed to secure cellular phone records for Rihanna, Brown, and one of Rihanna's personal assistants.

According to the affidavit, Brown sought to push Rihanna out of his rented Lamborghini during an argument, and banged her head against the car's passenger window. He then allegedly punched her repeatedly and warned, "I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!" Bloodied, Rihanna reportedly then called her assistant Jennifer Rosales and left a message asking the aide to call police. Brown responded, the affidavit notes, by saying, "You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!"

Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is referred to in the affidavit as "Robyn F." Brown was charged today with assault and making a criminal threat, both felonies, and is expected to be arraigned this afternoon in L.A. Superior Court. Brown's phone records are of particular interest to LAPD investigators since a second Rihanna assistant, Melissa Ford, told Det. Andrews on February 17 that she had received a text message from Brown apologizing "for what he had done to Robyn F. and advised Ford that he was going to get help." The text message, Ford told cops, came from a number she recognized as Brown's. A call today to that number, which carries an area code from Brown's home state of Virginia, was immediately forwarded to an "automated voice messaging system."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the affidavit here.
