Saturday Sellout-Mia Love

Our latest edition of the TransGriot Saturday Sellout series of posts takes us to Utah and shines the spot on one Ludmya Bourdeau Love, the Mormon teabagging mayor of Sandy Springs, UT who came 786 uncomfortable votes short of unseating longtime Utah Democratic moderate Jim Matheson in 2012 and becoming the first African-descended female ever to be elected to Congress as a Republican

She's already declared and will be making another attempt to unseat Rep Matheson in 2014, so for those of you living in Utah's 4th Congressional District, get ready to do you part to ensure Jim Matheson is still representing you on November 4, 2014. .

Love is the other female face along with Angela McGlowan the Tea Klux Klan gleefully likes to put out there to 'prove' to us reality based African-Americans that their movement is diverse and not racist.  

Yeah, right. We know better.   As Zora Neale Hurston admonished us a long time ago, all our skinfolk ain't our kinfolk. 

It is by their policies they support ye shall know them, and Love promotes the same jacked up policies that her fellow Republifools promote. 

Her Haitian born parents are immigrants to this nation but she is anti-immigration and supports deportation.   

She has proposed eliminating the federally subsidized school lunch program and the funding that supports special education in public schools. She wants to halve the Earned Income Tax Credit that keeps millions of working people out of poverty, and she would radically slash housing subsidies that keep millions of poor people off the streets.

And even more disturbing, Love stated in 2012 that if she was elected, she would try to dismantle the Congressional Black Caucus.   Not no but hell no to that idea of dismantling the 'Conscience of the Congress'. 

Pretty Black face, same conservative cookie chomping bull feces that deserves a doll worthy of her policies. 
 

More Saturday Sellout Links

Since I just added the E.W. Jackson post to the TransGriot Saturday Sellout series (and sadly need to do more of them) here are the links to the ones I've previously written in one convenient post for you to peruse at your leisure

Time for you to get your learn on about the cookie chomping knee-grows gleefully working to sell our community out and kiss up to conservatism for their own personal gain.

Saturday Sellout-Star Parker

Saturday Sellout-Rep. Allen West

Saturday Sellout- E.W. Jackson

One of the features I don't do as often (and need to) is expose you TransGriot readers to all the cookie-chomping sellouts worthy of the Negro Iz U Sirius?!!!! badge that was created by Denny Upkins for this blog.

Have to dustt it off and give it to our latest cookie-chomping knee-grow searching for his 15 minutes of conservafame in Rev. E.W Jackson

He was born in Chester, PA. in 1951 as the great grandson of slaves from Orange County, VA.  After spending three years in the US Marine Corps he earned a degree from University of Massachusetts Boston in three years and a law degree from Harvard in 1978.  Jackson practiced law for 15 years in the Boston area, studied at Harvard Divinity School and became the pastor of Ebenezer baptist Church in Boston.

He also taught administrative law at Northeastern University in addition to hosting a national talk radio show called 'Earl Jackson Across America' and appearing on several talk shows on WHDH-AM.

His turn to conservatism started in 1996 when he joined with the Christian Coalition to head 'The Samaritan Project' which on the surface was their effort to reach out to blacks, Hispanics and even Democrats to combat poverty through "faith-based" efforts but was nothing more than a front to attempt to convert African-Americans and Latinos to join the Republican Party..

After serving as the chaplain with the Boston Fire Department and as the minister with the chapel of the Boston Red Sox, he was consecrated a s bishop in 1998 and moved with his family to Chesapeake, VA to start Exodus Faith Ministries  

He formed a conservative leaning organization in 2010 called STAND (Staying True to America's National Destiny) was a good little conservakneegro and condemned the New Black Panther Party.  In 2012 he recorded a video urging African-Americans to leave the Democratic Party because in his words it has abandoned the values of the black community and that blacks had developed a "slavish devotion" to the party.

Yeah, right.  (Moni rolls eyes)  Back to the post about the guy that makes Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr. look like a flaming moderate.    .

In a stunning political upset Jackson beat out six other better funded candidates om May 18 to become the GOP Lt Governor nominee in the upcoming Virginia gubernatorial race.

And right on cue, he opened muoth and inserted far right wing foot in it.  Jackson has said gays have “perverted” minds and are “very sick people psychologically and mentally and emotionally.” He has described President Obama as “an evil presence” and liberal abortion policy as “infanticide.”

In an op-ed column in the Washington Times in October, he wrote that Democrats back “an agenda worthy of the Antichrist.”   He claimed Planned Parenthood has been more lethal to blacks than the Ku Klux Klan

And he claimed the odious 3/5 compromise was an anti-slavery amendment.

Kneegrow are you serious?    And oh, pick up your phone, it's Harvard Law calling.   They want their degree back.  

Saturday Sellout-Rep. Allen West

It's time to do another Saturday Sellout post, and this one features freshman Rep. Allen West (R-FL)

He was one of the two Negroes elected to Congress since JC Watts retired in 2003 and under the GOP label from Florida for the first time since Josiah T Wells left office in 1876. 

West is also the first Republican to join the Congressional Black Caucus since Gary Franks did so after being elected as a Republican in Connecticut in 1994 and left after being defeated in 1996...

Not that this cookie chomping knee-grow is wanted in it. 

Allen West served 20 years in the US Army, served in Iraq and a civilian advisor in Afghanistan and retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the wake of an investigation into an interrogation incident in which his weapon was discharged involving an Iraqi in Taji, Iraq.

West has proudly called himself a Tea Bagger, denied they are racist and joined the Tea Klux Klan Caucus in the House.  He is a raving Islamophobe, hates on the Congressional Black Caucus, and makes regular appearances on Fox Noise. 

Another cookie chomper you peeps need to keep your eye on.

Saturday Sellout-Ken Blackwell

Time for you TransGriot peeps to get your learn on about another one of the useful fools in the service of the GOP that wants to oppress me.

Meet John Kenneth Blackwell, senior fellow at the Family Research Council, a vocal conservacritic of President Obama, 1971 graduate of Xavier University, former mayor of Cincinnati from 1979-80 as a Democrat and former HUD undersecretary in George HW Bush's administration in 1989-90.

He left Daddy Bush's administration to run for office in Ohio, later become the Ohio Secretary of State in 1998 and served from 1999-2007. He ran for governor of Ohio in 2006 and got pimp slapped by Democrat Ted Strickland, who beat him by a whopping 24% margin despite Religious Reich support .

Blackwell also ran for RNC chair in 2009 but withdrew after the fifth round of voting in the chairmanship election eventually won by Michael Steele.  

He's also author of the 2010 waste of trees, Blueprint: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency,

For you GL folks who can't get married in Ohio, he's the reason you can't because he was the driving force pushing for the 2004 adoption of the state constitutional amendment that bans recognition or the performance of same gender marriage and civil unions..

But besides his conservafool positions, he is most hated by much of the African American community for his controversial role in the 2004 presidential election.   As Ohio Secretary of State he is the chief election officer, and his status as an honorary co-chair for the 2004 Bush campaign in the state combined with some questionable partisan decisions caused people to ask questions about the conflict of interest.  .

It was magnified by the fact that Bush carried Ohio, its 20 electoral votes and subsequently the 2004 election by less than 120,000 votes despite widespread reports of voter irregularities.

Those questionable decisions ranged from approving the use of Diebold electronic machines when concerns  were being raised in 2003 about their accuracy (and owning stock in the company at the time) to multiple Secretary of State rulings later struck down by court rulings that attempted to restrict ballot access and suppress African-American and collegiate voter turnout in the state.   Many African American and collegiate precincts in the state were allocated less voting machines than suburban ones, which caused long lines to vote on election day.

There was chatter that he was considering a run against Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) next year for his US senate seat but he has dropped that bid.

So yeah, there's not much love for J. Kenneth Blackwell amongst our peeps in Ohio or elsewhere in the nation for that matter.  

Saturday Sellout-Alan Keyes

Introducing you to another Saturday Sellout, Dr. Alan Keyes.

Born on Long Island, New York, he has his BA and doctorate from Harvard and was a roommate of William Kristol.   He began his career as a diplomat in 1979 as a protege of  UN ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick 

Keyes defended the Reagan Administration's policy of not imposing sanctions on the South African government as punishment for its apartheid policies.

He was appointed to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and later Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations


He's run for president on the GOP ticket three times, in 1996, 2000, and 2008 and for the US Senate in 1988, 1992 and 2004 when he got trounced by then Illinois state senator Barack Obama .   That probably explains why he has his hate on for President Obama.

Keyes was an enthusiastic birther who filled a dismissed lawsuit in 2008 demanding he prove that he was a 'natural born citizen', and was busted protesting President Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame University in 2009.

Keyes was an Iraq War defender and as an anti-abortion and anti-gay Catholic is an enthusiastic supporter of the Federal Marriage Amendment to the US constitution banning same gender marriage.


The former conservative pundit, talk show host and columnist is on the boards of many conservative organizations such as the Eagle Forum, the Catholic League, and the American Life League.

One well deserved Oreo cookie goes to Dr. Alan Keyes.

Saturday Sellout-Herman Cain

Since he was at a Tea Klux Klan rally just outside of town in The Woodlands today, thought my latest installment of the TransGriot  Saturday Sellout series would shine a bright spotlight on conservafool and Tea Klux Klan apologist Herman Cain.

Cain was the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and during his time there returned it to profitability in an impressive 14 months after taking ther helm of it.  

But unfortunately the Morehouse man has been deeply involved in conservative politics.  The 'Hermanator' had a talk radio show until February 2011, is a commentator for Fox News Business, writes a column (big shock), and has formed an exploratory committee as his next step to consider running for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

As president of the National Restaurant Association Cain played a role in the defeat of the Clinton Healthcare plan in 1993-94, ran for the 2004 GOP US Senate nomination in Georgia and lost and peddles in Islamophobia.   

He is a frequent critic of President Obama and proclaimed that in a Cain administration he would never appoint a Muslim.



Who will your running mate be IF you win the 2012 GOP nomination, and that's a big if since they want white leadership at the head of their white party?   Allen West?    Rick Santorum?   Michele Bachmann? 

Break out the Oreo cookies.
