The Republicans and their Black auxiliaries made a big deal about the 32 sellouts running for Congress this year in primaries across the nation.
They crowed about the fact that it was the most Black Republicans running since Reconstruction and that it was 'their year'.
Yeah, right. So far the Houston Astros have a higher winning percentage than y'all do.
The Mississippi primary last night was the latest one in which a high profile Negro Republican went down in flames. Oreo Barbie, oops, Faux News spokesmodel and Tea Klux Klan fave Angela McGlowan was running in the GOP primary in Mississippi's 1st Congressional District currently held by Travis Childers.
She was even endorsed by Caribou Barbie.
So where did Miss Right Wing Thing finish?
Third with 15% of the vote, behind the winner, MS state senator Alan Nunnelee. He captured 50% of the vote and Henry Ross garnered 33% of it.
So where was that groundswell of non racist Tea Party support, Angela? Probably voting for Nunnelee and Ross.
Princella Smith was walloped by a 73%-27% margin in the Arkansas GOP primary, and more butt kickings are coming.
Guess all you 'freethinking' Blacks are too uppity for the GOP plantation, huh?
The Tea Party peeps have a major image problem thanks to their nekulturny behavior and the fact their movement is as white as a Republican party convention.
In addition, they have views and have acted in ways that put them in alignment with people who like to wear white pointed hoods on the weekends or play domestic terrorist soldier while spouting pseudo christian rhetoric or anti government slogans.
In their recent charm offensive they tried to deploy their Negro auxiliaries to make the ludicrous case to the media and people of color that 'they aren't racists'.
Well, those signs y'all carry at the Tea Klux Klan rallies say otherwise.
The charge has been led by Oreo Barbie, oops Angela McGlowan, who is currently running for Congress in Mississippi's 1st District in a three way Republican primary.
It's "not about a black or white issue, it's not even about Republican or Democrat, from my standpoint. All of us are taxed too much."
Angela, you're not on Fox News anymore. Out of 30 OCED ranked nations, the USA ranks 28th in terms of tax burden on a one income married couple with two kids. Go peddle that manure somewhere else.
And oh yeah Miss Thang, the Field Negro is still patiently waiting for you in Philly to debate him.
If that wasn't enough, Bigot Harry Jackson (he doesn't get or deserve from me the respect of calling him Bishop) came out of hibernation from the pimp slapping he got in the DC marriage battle and tried to spin for Teabagger Nation.
In a recent column titled "Is Brewing Tea Dangerous?", Jackson suggested that what the Tea Partiers need is a full-blown PR-directed makeover.
Jackson offered up a tablespoon of advice to the Tea Party movement: Clean up your image. "Now that you know how you are perceived [by the media], what are you going to do"?, Jackson asked.
Give it up conservanegroes. We've already peeped the Teabagger game. They are just Obama 'Two Minute Hate' rallies disguised as anti-tax protests.
And no amount of spin from you Oreo cookie chompers can dissuade us from thinking otherwise.
Yeah, I know it would be desirable to have more African descended people involved in both parties, but what's the point of that exercise if they're going to mimic the oppressors behavior?
Corey Poitier is running for US Rep. Kendrick Meek's House seat in Florida since Meek is running for the US Senate.
The high school civics teacher delivered a passionate speech against the health care reform bill Monday night to Broward County Republicans. During the speech, Poitier addressed the President by saying “Listen up, Buckwheat…”
Aargh, another Negro GOP sellout is born.
That might gain Poitier GOP fans, but not in a district that is 57% African American and 9 out of 10 peeps voted for the man he just disrespected with the comment.
And it begs the question I asked at the beginning of this post. What's the point in having Black peeps in the GOP if all they are going to do is be chocolate covered sycophants spouting the same tired conservative talking points we overwhelmingly reject when white candidates spout them?
Every now and then I get an interesting comments on the various posts I write that I just have to elevate into a post in order to properly eviscerate it.
This one comes from commenter Renee W, who alleges she's a Black female Republican and took issue with my recent post slamming Angela McGlowan.

Dear Mrs. Roberts
First of all as a Black female, can I give you a bit of advice give honor were honor is due. You need to get off of Angela's back, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican stand for what you believe and leave it at that.
Mrs. McGlowan has won my favor and regardless of if she doesn’t fit into what you think she should fit into. Watch yourself, because one day you’re going to look around and see a new breed of republican who skin may just be a little darker than you would like. Angela has won my favor as well as the favor of many BLACK women, who are secure in their race. Women who are bold, fierce and willing to stand up for things that are right. Now you take that how you want to take it, and please feel free to comment. I will be awaiting your reply.
Real quick question why in the world would anyone support the abortion industry? When more black baby’s die at the hands of Planned Parenthood than any race. Hummm possible genocide? Duh you think.
I don’t care if your republican, independent, democrat shows me good politics and I will show you real change.
Renee. W --Plainfield--
****
Renee, Renee, Renee.
Mrs. Roberts is my mother. I'm Ms. Roberts and happily single. But thanks for the respectful props anyway.
Your Republican minders are going to have to prep you better before you step to me with these tired GOP talking points.
Oldest conservative Internet trick in the book is for you vanilla flavored peeps to go into an African American blog or online space, try to claim you're Black, and then launch into conservative talking points and spin.
There's only a 2-10% chance you actually are Black, but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt on this one just for fun.
USS Monica going to DEFCON 1...spooling up 20 megatons of knowledge to drop on this poor deluded Faux News watching person. Board is green, rhetorical Tomahawks ready. Begin countdown. 5..4..3..2..1..launch
Renee, I too admire Black women who are bold, fierce and willing to stand up for things that are right.
But the women I admire such as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), the late Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-TX), the late Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the late Audre Lorde, Dr. Julianne Malveaux, Jasmyne Cannick, Dr. Marisa Richmond and the late Coretta Scott King stand and stood up for what is right, not right wing.
And what I define as right is advancing the same social justice, civil rights, political and economic justice we've been pushing as a people since emancipation.
And what exactly has Angela McGlowan 'stood for that is right' that motivated you to post a comment on TransGriot to 'get off Angela McGlowan's back'?
Expound on that in terms longer than a single sentence.
Now let's play Final TransGriot Jeopardy!. Remember your answer must be phrased in the form of a question.
The Final TransGriot Jeopardy category is 'Black Leadership', and the answer is:
This noted political scientist and commentator from the University of Maryland penned the 'Definition Of Black Leadership'. Name this distinguished professor.
Times up...the Final TransGriot Jeopardy answer is:
Who is Dr. Ronald Walters?
I am simply judging her by the definition of Black leadership as articulated by Dr. Ronald Walters, and Angela McGlowan falls far short of that.
In case you aren't aware of that...here it is:
The task of Black leadership is to provide the vision, resources, tactics, and strategies that facilitate the achievement of the objectives of Black people.
These objectives have been variously described as freedom, integration, equality, liberation, or defined in the terms of specific public policies. It is a role that often requires disturbing the peace. And we constantly carry on a dialogue about the fitness of various leaders and the qualities they bring to the table to fulfill this mission.
If Angela were working for the uplift of the Black community, maybe I could 'give credit where credit is due'. Impressive resume, Ole Miss grad, minister's daughter. But it's the people she's chosen to align herself with politically that's the problem.
I can't ignore the fact that Condoleezza For The New Millennium supports a party that has worked tirelessly AGAINST the interests of African-Americans for over 40 years. The fact she's from Mississippi makes it particularly odious and she should fracking know better.
She has aligned herself with the racist Teabagger movement, worked for Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) and as a Fox News commentator willingly participated in attacks on President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and African-Americans in general.
As for the 'many Black women who are secure in their race' that you claim support Angela McGlowan, I have to ask you, in what alternate universe? Maybe in Fox 'News' watching Bizarro world, but in the reality based universe Black women proud of being Black and seeking to uplift the race are predominately politically liberal-progressive, Democrats and members of Black Greek letter sororities and social organizations, not conservative teabagger sellouts hating on the President, the First Lady and the Black community.
And since you brought it up, let's talk about that proud legacy of negro Republican women such as Condoleezza Rice, Judge Janice Rogers Clown, oops Brown, Star Parker, Amy Holmes, Alveda King and Tara Wall.
So far all I see and hear from the 'new breed' of negro Republican women is the same tired, failed, racist GOP policies and message white male Repugnicans spewed for decades. They are regurgitated by pretty packages all too willing to sell their people out for designer clothes, book deals, media attention and face time at conservative conventions.
I also see many of these women, such as Amy Holmes distancing themselves from their African heritage as well or more concerned with being loyal to the conservative movement and clocking those sellout dollars than they are to the Black community.
Ahh, makes me wanna go get a pair of Ferragamo pumps and rush to change my voter registration to Republican.
Dr. Julia Hare, another fierce Black woman, warned us at a recent 'State of the Black Union' event there's a difference between Black leaders and leading Blacks.
Angela McGlowan sadly doesn't fit into either category.
And finally, why bring up Margaret Sanger in the context of your alleged defense of Angela McGlowan?
FYI for you, contrary to the lies the anti-abortion industry pimps about Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, she had the support of W.E.B. Du Bois and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If she was as 'racist' as you and your anti choice friends allege, why would she in 1930 open up a family planning clinic staffed with a Black doctor and Black social worker in Harlem?
The mission of that clinic was to enlist support for contraceptive use and extol the benefits of family planning at a time when Black people women were routinely denied access to their city's health and social services
This clinic was endorsed by the way by powerful institutions in the African American community such as The Amsterdam News newspaper, the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Urban League, and W.E.B. Du Bois.
Renee, Duh, we're only 13% of the population, so there are far more white women terminating their pregnancies than Black women.
BTW Planned Parenthood was run from 1978-1992 by Faye Wattleton, an African American woman, so that blows your 'Black genocide' talking point straight to Hades doesn't it?.
But if you had other news sources besides Fox, the sacreligious Reich and the conservative movement you would have known that.
Thank you for playing Renee W, and we have lovely parting gifts for you.
It's hard out there for conservapimps. Bigot Harry Jackson slithered in from suburban Maryland to lead the anti-marriage equality peeps and got smacked down.
Depending on where you live, we're getting the last of our summer fun in before heading into another school year (or the kids are already back in school) and the cooler fall weather sets in.
It's also the weekend that the Miss Continental Pageant takes place in Chitown.
2008-2009 Miss Continental Tulsi will be crowing her 2009-2010 successor at the Park West Theater.
Hopefully there will be less drama than there was at Miss USA this year.
But changing seasons, exciting transgender pageants and fun filled holiday weekends provide us no respite from our ongoing mission of rooting out and exposing the fools in our midst.
Thanks to Renee at Womanist Musings, we have our winner this week for our illustrious award. This fool beat out perennial contenders Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, the Republican party, Faux News,.Bill O'Reilly and his own whacked out pastor Steven Anderson.
Say hello to our landslide winner this week, Chris Broughton.
The same Oreo-cookie chomping negro that brought an AR-15 rifle to an Obama town hall meeting now has openly concurred with his white nutcase pastor Steven Anderson's August 16 sermon praying for the first African-American president's death.
Broughton said of Anderson's controversial August 16 "Why I Hate Barack Obama" sermon: "I concur, I think we'd be better off if God would send [Obama] where he's going now instead of later. [Obama] is destroying our country."
Wouldn't be surprised if Faux News or right wing talk radio hired his unemployed ass ASAP to parrot their anti-Obama talking points.
Take this negro's Black Like Me card away and cut it up. Fire up the DROP Squad and send this confused soul to them for a beat down and an intensive training course in Black history.
And give the honorary white man some Oreo's while you're at it.
The GOP Noise Machine is in full throat in its all out attempt to kill the Obama health care plan. The greedy HMO's and insurance companies like the current setup and want to keep making obscene profits.
It's disgusting that the United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn't have universal single payer health care for its citizens.
The rest of the world looks at this circus and wonders aloud how the American people allows this travesty to continue. Well, that what happens when 20% of the country is tuned in to a propaganda network and the Republican Party and their cronies are willing to lie to keep it from happening.
All we can do is keep fighting to ensure that one day we join the rest of the world in providing low cost health care for all its citizens.
Speaking of health care, there were fools that were worthy of being carted off to psychiatric care or made you wonder if they're still hitting the hallucinogenic drugs too hard.
While there were many fools who could have garnered our award such as Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), the Birthers, PETA, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, and the Republican Party, our Fool of the Week is sellout spokesnegro Larry Elder.
Elder distinguished himself in the ongoing conversation around the arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates by not only blaming the professor for what happened to him in his own home, but blamed the controversy on in his words 'irresponsible Blacks'.
The only 'irresponsible Blacks' here are you and your Oreo cookie chomping buddies.
In you conservanegroes zeal to defend the po-po's, you neglected or didn't care to to acknowledge that the African-American community's drama with the police didn't arise in a vacuum.
It is rooted in decades of violent confrontations that have resulted in our untimely deaths. There is also systemic racism in many police departments and the historic fact they were used as the stormtroopers enforcing Jim Crow segregation and white privilege.
