Cato Institute was originally founded as The Charles Koch Foundation of Wichita.

http://blog.reidreport.com/...

At a talk given the day after the 2010 election — one that was a disaster for Democrats — “progressive” writer and civil liberties lawyer Glenn Greenwald gave a talk at the University of Wisconsin, and expressed the hope that Democrats might suffer the same fate in 2012.

2010 was a devastating defeat for the working class.The election of Scott Walker and Republicans like him nationwide was a monumental / historic setback for Labor Unions, Teachers, Women's Healthcare, Voting rights, Campaign Finance etc.

Many progressives believe the damage being done by Republican State Legislatures and the Teabagger Congress will set the country back for a generation.

The Economy
Healthcare
Voting Rights
Environmental regulations
Clean Energy initiatives
Education
Gay Rights
Immigration
etc etc

Koch Libertarian - Faux progressive Ratfucker Glenn Greenwald wants progressives to let Republicans win.

even though I know that by abstaining or supporting a third party, I’m going to be sacrificing some of my short term political interests; I’m going to be causing a few more Republicans to be elected than otherwise might be elected; on balance, I’m willing to sacrifice my short term interests in order to do something to subvert the stranglehold that these two parties have on the political process because electing more Democrats, even though it’s a little less scary, accomplishes nothing good. And everyone’s going to have to decide for themselves when they get to that point, and I think and hope that that point is pretty close.

Daily Kos claims to be a blog interesting in electing more & better Democrats.

Greenwald is free to have this opinion. He is NOT entitled to maquerade as an uber left wing progressive and peddle this bullshit unchallenged by REAL LIBERALS interested in preventing Republicans from hurting people and destroying this country.

Greenwald isn't sacrificing ANYTHING.

MSNBC contributor Joy Anne Reid explains what Greenwald and his Libertarian allies are advocating for.

Should Republicans, who will be of the same ideological stripe as those in the House, because of the primacy of the Koch/John Birch Society tea party wing, take over Congress and the White House, this will be a very different country a few years from now.

This also applies to Republicans in the States. Right now here in Texas we are battling Republican efforts on all fronts. Leaders like Wendy Davis need support from progressives.

We need more Elizabeth Warren's in Washington. Greenwald wants more Rand Paul's.
There are many Libertarians who have made homes on liberal blogs and try to prevent their agenda from being exposed.They will show up here in this diary to do the same.

Koch Libertarian Glenn Greenwald's NSA hypocrisy(Paypal / Omidyar)

In my previous diary documenting Glenn Greenwald's libertarian ratfucking of the Democratic parties Left wing, many of his defenders tried to deflect attention away from his true agenda and focus on his NSA "revelations".I've decided to take them up on the challenge and expose their hero on their terms.This diary will prove that Greenwald is a hypocritical agenda driven fraud.

And now we’ve learned through former FBI translator and whistleblower Sibel Edmonds that Pierre Omidyar’s PayPal also provided customer data to NSA. As has been widely reported, Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras have partnered with Omidyar to form a $250 million news outfit.

Why has Greenwald never revealed this? (PayPal story)Omidyar's connection with the NSA was accessible within the documents Snowden stole and leaked to Greenwald / Poitras.They both used their involvement in this story to gain international fame and land a lucrative position in Omidyar's new media venture.It's OBVIOUS they concealed this information because it would make them look bad.

An undisclosed retired NSA official apparently contacted Edmonds, who runs a news site called Boiling Frogs Post, and tipped her off that the documents stolen by Edward Snowden and handed over to Greenwald and Poitras contain information about PayPal’s cooperation with NSA surveillance and data collection.

...he never once disclosed or acknowledged his relationships with these NSA-related companies?
For someone who routinely hectors others, demanding unequivocal ideological purity, Greenwald seems to be knee-deep in lucrative business relationships that run contrary to his lofty standards, and which also represent obvious conflicts of interest.

Indeed, Greenwald has accused anyone who merely voices an opinion about a few of the positive benefits of NSA signals intelligence and data collection — or how the law permits it and oversight supervises it — of being drooling shills for the vast and pernicious security state.

But meanwhile he himself is taking money, a lot of money, from corporate entities who reportedly operate in direct conjunction with NSA SIGINT operations he claims to loathe.

http://thedailybanter.com/...

I don't think I need to add much more than that.If Greenwald's clownish hypocrisy and lucrative hustle was isolated to the Libertarian far right (his true home) then I would simply mock him...but not pay him much attention. The fact is that FOR YEARS he has been allowed to embed himself within the progressive media/political circles and has attempted to undermine it from within. He has been viewed as a LEADER for a large portion of the libertarian left. I and many others REFUSE to allow him to poison the roots of the progressive tree for his own personal advancement and the political advancement of the Koch/Paul Libertarian agenda.

Even if you are outraged by the revelations in these NSA stories, you have to find it troubling that Greenwald / Poitras would conceal information that exposes their grotesque conflict of interest.They are financially benefiting from that lack of disclosure.

Libertarians are posing as liberals and trying to RATFUCK the left.Their primary goal is to undermine the Democratic Party and hand elections to Republicans.Their strategy consists of...

1) ingratiating themselves with the progressive media
2) Pushing the meme that Democrats are just as bad (or worse) then Republicans
3) Dismissing Racism as "identity politics"
4) Promoting far right wing politicians as "true progressives"
5 convincing disgruntled progressives to vote 3rd party or not vote at all
6) Attack traditional Democratic Voters & their issues

Examples below

At a talk given the day after the 2010 election — one that was a disaster for Democrats — “progressive” writer and civil liberties lawyer Glenn Greenwald gave a talk at the University of Wisconsin, and expressed the hope that Democrats might suffer the same fate in 2012.

And everyone’s going to have to decide for themselves when they get to that point, and I think and hope that that point is pretty close.

They are taking money from the KOCH BROTHERS and pushing their agenda...

...the idea that taking money from the Koch brothers for a one-year drug-decriminalization project shouldn’t be disclosed each time Greenwald attacks progressives while defending the Kochs’/libertarians’ pet projects—as when Greenwald defended Citizens United, much to progressives’ confusion, or when Greenwald attacked our article in The Nation about the Koch-funded libertarians leading the anti-TSA union campaign—is plain wrong and ridiculous. Payoffs and influence-peddling usually come in more subtle forms than payments marked “BRIBE.”

...we don’t see it as benign when Greenwald simultaneously protects libertarians, defends Citizens United, and attacks journalism critical of Koch-funded libertarians.

http://exiledonline.com/...

They are defending racism...

Tom Tancredo isn't a racist...

Leave aside the political stupidity of labeling as bigots and racists a huge portion of the electorate which is becoming increasingly concerned about illegal immigration and which agrees with Tancredo’s sentiments.

Intellectually lazy and smug people love to casually throw insults like "racist" around because it saves them the trouble of addressing the substance of an idea with which they disagree, and because it makes them feel so very superior and enlightened.

The notion that a nation requires a cohesive "national identity" is hardly the malignant invention of the Ku Klux Klan or White Supremacist groups. It is a central prong for how our country was formed and how it has survived.

But if the approach of pro-illegal-immigration advocates is going to be to follow the example of people like Willis and Drum's commentators and simply scream "racist" at anyone who expresses concerns about the impact of the vast numbers of illegal immigrants pouring into the United States, then their loss in this debate will be as inevitable as it will be well-deserved.

http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/...

And joining with RACISTS to help further their political agenda.

... saw something that actually made me lose some more respect for Greenwald, which I didn’t think was possible. His associations with the racist Pauls is pretty bad...

...revealed that Glenn Greenwald had been a speaker on something fatuously named The Young American Liberty Tour...

...the moderator, Jack Hunter, the goddamn luchador of the losers, the Southern Avenger.

Libertarians are trying to hijack the left and hand it over to the Koch/Paul/GOP cabal.They are trying to shut down conversations on RACE...while trying to mask their own racism.They want to remove core Democratic constituencies from the playing field..once they can do that, they are able to peel off enough votes to hand victories to the GOP.

The election of a Black Democratic President has caused them to ramp up their efforts.

Over the years I've observed that there is a bizarre strain of "Left" minded white person who thinks that because they aren't right wingers...that they can talk about black people as if they are one.

It keeps happening over and over again...and it's ALWAYS UGLY.

Whether it's calling in to question President Obama's "blackness" by saying if he were a "real" black President he'd be willing to bust a cap in Republican's asses like criminal thug Suge Knight.

Using Black Face to attack politicians you don't like.

http://farm1.staticflickr.com/...

Or saying that they are only reminded that he is black when they see him playing basketball.

They could barely contain their joy when Cornel West launched a viciously RACIST diatribe about how Barack Obama was simply a white man in black face.Making ludicrous claims that Obama was afraid of "free" black men and only comfortable around white jewish men. (Get it...he's a puppet of Jew Bankers...no anti-semitism here..SMH). I guess "brotha" Cornel forgot about the times when young Barack was dodging stray bullets on the South Side of Chicago trying to help under privileged black folks.

http://newsone.com/...

For some reason these white folks think that THEY TO can join in on the fun and accuse black folks of being "House Niggas" and "Uncle Tom's"

http://thebluesite.com/...

http://www.youtube.com/...

Guess what... You can't (well technically they can...but we're not gonna let them get away with it)

Over the last few days idiot right wingers have been tripping all over themselves to say stupid shit about Nelson Mandela...but almost none of them have said anything as dumb and revealing as this.

http://rall.com/...

"The lionization of Mandela follows a familiar pattern. Radicals and revolutionaries who betray their former militancy to become accommodationist scoundrels win Nobel Peace Prizes, high office and nice tweets after their die. That’s why former “terrorists” like Mandela, Gerry Adams, Gandhi and Yassir Arafat who stop fighting for their causes and accept establishment sinecures get lionized. Those who hold firm and keep fighting for the people, like Malcolm X, are scorned — compared to the relatively safe/peaceful MLK. The media loves the sellouts, hates the heroes."

It's really hard for me to fathom the ignorance, arrogance and privilege that could lead a white man to utter such bullshit.Mandela, MLK and these other great leaders risked their lives to uplift their people. In many cases they GAVE THEIR LIVES to the cause of freedom and equality.They were beaten, imprisoned & assassinated for their causes.They showed great courage and for that they are remembered as heroes the world over.

The idea that someone who has NEVER had to undergo the hardships that these people have...could arrogantly mock them as SELLOUTS is beneath contempt.

The RACIST resentment leaps off the page. This is Stormfront shit.The kind of stuff you read in the Ron Paul Newsletter.

Ironically trying to mask it as being Hipster - hyper black power nonsense isn't fooling anyone.

Attempting to wrap this hate-filled bullshit in "progressive / leftist" sheets only serves to undermine the left.The fact that large numbers of "progressives" claim to PROUDLY consume this type of media and passionately defend it...is deeply troubling.

When you can't tell the difference between something a teabagger has written about a black leader...and a "progressive" critique...we have a problem.

This diary has nothing to do with Ted Rall. (everyone gets up and leaves the room.)

Instead I would like to discuss the weird mentality of this community.Instead of simply ignoring my previous diary...or dropping by to say fuck you...There were many people who decided to imply that I was someone else.

It started out as funny. Then got crazy.Someone implied that I WAS TED RALL.lmao
Then it got creepy with someone trying to bait me into displaying my personal artwork...for what purpose I don't know.I can only assume they wanted to reveal who I was in real life. (so they could harass me further?)

But then one comment gave me some insight in to the mentality of this community...or atleast some in a specific clique here.In the process of calling me a "zombie" or "sockpuppet" one user tried to twist my words to imply that I came here from a right wing blog. I replied saying that was childish (to twist my words)

...but then it hit me.

These people aren't like children.They are like old dogs holding on to their ignorance and REFUSING to learn new tricks. It's not that you can't teach them about racism and racial depictions.

THEY DON'T WANT TO LEARN.

With that I will stop trying.I see my efforts are better suited for YOUNGER communities that are more open minded and WANT to be inclusive. The people here are older.Most could be my parents. I know how hard it is to teach my parents about technology or shed their racial stereotypes that they hold. (Yes black people say racist shit too)

I post comments on other liberal blogs (also as jshooper) and will continue to discuss racism.As for Daily Kos.

Well... I will continue to READ the site.I will comment on stories I find interesting.That's about it.

I was done discussing Ted Rall and his racist right wing bullshit, but it seems his defenders aren't and continue to peddle his lies and whining here in an attempt to salvage his reputation.The glass jawed Rall has been on an interview circuit playing the victim and attacking his liberal critics.Sympathizing with Richard Cohen and bragging about support from Glenn Beck.I'm sure I will receive lame accusations that I am obsessed from Rall's pathetic defenders because of this diary.

Just so you know: I am an artist...that's why I focus primarily on the imagery first and then the message second.

A few days ago I did a simple google image search for "Obama Cartoons". I wanted to see how Obama's critics / enemies depicted him.I found an interesting cross-section (right wing and left)of illustrations that depicted the President in various ways but nearly ALL OF THEM accentuated his actual physical traits to create their caricature.

Almost none of them included his family...and the ones that did only showed Michelle.

(Only Rall has been classless / hateful enough to depict Obama's daughter killing a blond white girl...Something I would expect to find on Stormfront.)

Below is a small collection of what I've found.As you'll see all of these are negative Obama cartoons.

http://defeatbarackobamain2012.blogspot.com/...

http://www.bokbluster.com/...

http://cartoonbob.com/...

As you can see they all focus on Obama's defining features.
-Big Ears
-Big toothy smile / mouth
-elongated chin region

None of them are ape-like or contain anything that I (as a black man) would consider racially offensive.They all have an unrefined drawing style that is reminiscent of Rall's lack of skill.

But Rall's monkey man depiction wasn't the only problematic aspect of his cartoons.The context in which he placed his character also invoked RACIST stereotypes.
-Obama as the lazy black man
-Obama lacking intelligence and requiring a teleprompter to speak ( i thought only the right used this one)
-Obama as a thug / murderer
-Obama as a hyper-sexualized black man lusting after white women (i didn't post that cartoon...but if you wanna see it go to Rall's blog)
-Oprah as a black woman only being concerned with Obama's race ( Rall loves to invoke the right wing meme that Democrats are only interested in identity politics)
-Obama benefiting from white guilt and having no accomplishments in life

Rall's racist cartoons weren't limited to Obama either. He also attacked Condi Rice purely on the grounds of her race by having her called Bush's "House Nigga".He also mocked her for straightening her hair.

I'm not sure what makes Rall think he has any grounds to attack a black woman in this way...but it's clear he harbors a lot of hatred for people he considers "fake" black people.

As if all that wasn't enough...Rall also decided it would be fun / cool to exploit the tragic murder of a black teenager to further his political agenda of critiquing the drone program.He even mocked Al Sharpton in the cartoon...who despite his controversial history, was instrumental in calling for justice and bringing awareness to this issue...Both the racial component and the Gun Laws.

Last but not least (to prove I am truly obsessed with Rall...lol)

Here's Rall's tribute to Nelson Mandela.

http://rall.com/...

Heckava Job Nelson (get it... cuz he's a brownie..SMH)

"The lionization of Mandela follows a familiar pattern. Radicals and revolutionaries who betray their former militancy to become accommodationist scoundrels win Nobel Peace Prizes, high office and nice tweets after their die.

Those who hold firm and keep fighting for the people, like Malcolm X, are scorned — compared to the relatively safe/peaceful MLK. The media loves the sellouts, hates the heroes."

I intend to repost this last bit in to it's own diary because I feel it needs to be discussed by people far more knowledgeable than me. (and Rall)

Thanks to everyone who engaged in my first diary. Shame on whoever attempted to undermine it by placing a tag making it seem like I was pulling a prank on the community.

I had originally intended to use this diary to delve in to the countless right wing / racially coded cartoons of the prominent cartoonist Ted Rall. I am still going to post the images I gathered for those who are interested in seeing what I found so troubling, but first I would like I would like to address something I read in my original diary.

Why did I feel it was necessary to bring this back up?

Because I witnessed Rall's defenders daring people to provide evidence that he had used racist imagery in any of his other cartoons.There were people trying to deny that the cartoon depicted an Ape.

Here's what the defiantly ignorant Rall had to say about that on his blog.

"Of course, all humans are apes. We share 99.4% of our DNA with chimpanzees. Which is why I look like an ape and Brad Pitt looks like an ape and Dick Cheney looks like an ape. To not draw Obama the same way I draw everyone else, to make him look less ape-like than everyone else, seems fucked up."

Rall is a fool in my opinion, but that's not really the point anymore.There was a significant group of people here on this 90% white "liberal" blog that claimed they had enjoyed Rall's work for years and saw no problem with it.

My intention was to find out what they had been consuming and what it was they felt so compelled to defend.

Here's Rall sympathizing with Richard Cohen and mocking the liberals (and non racists of all ideologies) who criticized him.

"The corollary of the Comedy Club Effect is that when people are preconditioned to hate, they tend to hate well and often. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen experienced this when his “what if I were a bigot” musings (“people with conventional views must repress a gag reflex“) about New York Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio’s biracial family drew calls for his firing and unsubstantiated assertions that these were really Cohen’s thoughts. It was the exact 180-degree opposite of fair: If anything, white conservatives “with conventional views,” rather than progressives, should have been angry at Cohen for attributing bigotry that the conventional types hadn’t expressed."

http://rall.com/...

Yes, Cohen and white conservatives were the real victims of that story. (snark tag for real this time)

That's what his fans have been reading.
So here's what Rall's fans had been viewing and apparently laughing at.

Teabaggers ain't got sh*t on Rall

Obama's bringing back slavery.(of white people in the cartoon)
Also apparently the Obama administration is branding Michelle and Biden and selling their merchandise. WTF?

Obama palling around with terrorists

So many right wing memes here. Seriously what's progressive about this cartoon?
So now the truther Rall is trying to smear Obama by invoking 9/11?...WTF

Here this hateful cartoonists attempts to exploit the tragic murder of a black child for his political agenda. Rall places Obama in the role of Zimmerman.

The Nigs in the white house are gonna kill our blonde white girls

I'm gonna ignore the idiotic Syria analogy here because we all know how that played out. (another foreign policy victory for the Obama administration)

Just look at what we have here. The tasteless decision to use Obama's daughter to attack him.Obama as the amoral "gangsta" thug black man teaching his children to gun down whites who wrong them. Then we of course have the monkey man making his return.

That n!&*a ain't done sh*t

Here Rall BLATANTLY attacks Obama on racial terms.Obama hasn't accomplished anything in his career. He only got where he is because he's black. He tricked guilty whites in to voting for him. Also notice how Rall AGAIN utilizes the chimp like caricature of Obama in the panels with his arms raised.

Last one I promise. Lol

Rall's resentful title for this one was "Shocker:Black Chicagoan endorses Black Chicagoan"

Cuz you know us black folks only votes for duh colored one! Chocolate we want chocolate!!!

After viewing this small sample of what this cartoonist puts out it's hard to imagine ANYONE trying to claim he is "progressive". Hating Bush and having Paultarded views on foreign policy don't make you a progressive. Invoking right wing memes to slander Obama and dabbling in racism don't either. Rall and his fans are Libertarians. Some may claim to be leftist libertarians but even then they AREN'T allies of liberals.

Liberals reject racism 100%.

(if you don't want to read about me just scroll below to view the images)

Hello Daily Kos.

I am a 28 year old black man from Houston,TX. I have been a long time lurker on this site for years dating back to the dark days of Bush. Over my years of lurking I have seen many things that I considered outrageous and offensive but none have stirred up such passion and disgust as what I witnessed here during the Thanksgiving Holiday.In fact the sideshow was so gut wrenching that it inspired me to finally create an account on this site. This will be my first diary, please forgive my unrefined writing style.

The defense of Ted Rall's RACIST depiction(s) of President Obama was shameful and a dark mark on this site's already checkered past in terms of race relations.Until he decided to post here I was previously unaware of Mr. Rall's "work".After seeing how hostile and arrogant he was I quickly gained an interest in the man. I wanted to know why such a character was allowed to behave in a way that was previously not tolerated on this site. ( as I had witnessed in my years of lurking)

I soon found out that Rall was a minor celebrity and had a (rather predictable) fan club on the site.I saw them scrape up every excuse they could muster to not only defend Rall, but to call in to question the integrity of those ACTUALLY interested in racism on this site.

After spending (wasting) far too much time researching Mr.Rall, I have gathered a small collection of his illustrations. I have decided to focus only on his racial imagery and not the countless other hateful things he has created.( I can't tell if this guy is a libertarian, teabagger or just a sociopathic asshole) Answer = they're all the same

I will now dissect each example to prove that Rall is indeed a racist and that his fans are at the very least incredibly blind when it comes to racism. So blind that they've become comfortable with it and consume it in the same way white Americans have for generations. That is an extremely generous assessment of them.

So here we go. Note: Most of Rall's cartoons are laced with right wing memes, slander and lies. I will attempt to point them out but this is mainly focused on the racism.I thought long and hard on the best order to display these images.

EXAMPLE 1

Thanks for the responses. Some think this is a cat. Please look closely at the nose Rall drew on Obama.

Notes: The RACIST Ted Rall depicts Obama as a COON!
This image kicked me in the gut the first time I saw it.I had to walk away from my computer for a few seconds.

1) Notice how Rall depicts Obama as a human in these early drawings.Completely destroying the claim that he is incapable of drawing him differently.This will be important as we view more.

2) This shows Rall's premeditated RACIST imagery

EXAMPLE 2

White-majority America points to its flirtations with Colin Powell and Barack Obama as proof that racism is in the past. But neither man is a typical African-American descendent of slaves.

1) Rall attempts to strip Barack Obama and Colin Powell of their blackness.I don't know what makes Rall think he has the authority to do such a hateful thing.

EXAMPLE 3

1) Rall BLATANTLY depicts Obama as a monkey.Undeniably ape-like

2) Rall actually admitted that his "friends" thought he went too far with this one on facebook. His / their only concern was that he reinforced Hillary's attack ad too much.

3) Notice the difference between that monkey sleeping in the bed and Rall's original depiction of Obama in the first example.

4) Rall begins to invoke the "LAZY BLACK MAN" meme in to his Obama cartoons

EXAMPLE 4

1) Rall ratchets up the racism by depicting the Ape -Obama as a King Kong figure.

2) There is almost nothing left of it's humanity.I challenge any of his defenders to explain this depiction.

This is part one of the series.In part 2 I plan on discussing more of Rall's right wing memes. We will also see Rall begin to incorporate the Obama family in his racist imagery.

The people defending Rall have a lot of explaining to do.I have been bothered for a long time that Libertarians and Racists have been allowed to pose as "progressives". In my opinion it does nothing but undermine the left.

I hope this will spark a debate on this site.I plan on engaging in the debate when I have time outside of work.

Thank you.

Any tips on how to improve my dairy will be appreciated.
