Donald Sterling

[xtratabasco]

Just put some hidden microphones in the lockers for a few weeks and hear for yourself what goes on in private conversations there, it will make all you manmanlovers want to call berrys attorney general to go take away their shoes and ban them from playing the game too.

I guess all those great great dark colored wonderful men that can put a ball in a hoop should be fired too.

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whom commentators tried to tie to the Republican party immediately after his alleged racist statements became public, has in fact only given money to Democratic candidates, according to campaign-contribution records.

Tell that to symmetry, I'd be interested to see if his little head could grasp that. I imagine the following internal reaction: What? A racist who isn't Republican? How can it be? No! It must not be! It can't be! They're lying! He's an undercover republican out to smear the Democratic party!

So Donald Sterling also refused to rent to Koreans in Korean neighborhoods. Is there any ethnicity the man didn't turn down for housing?

hey, the dept of justice sued him years ago and the NBA has known he was racist for quite some time... no way they get the team from him for private comments made within his home...

He was found innocent of racial discrimination in the workplace at a previous court case, so it doesn't sound like his racism was affecting his role as an employer/owner. Why does it matter if he holds an unpopular opinion? Can one not become a CEO these days without first expressing all the right politically correct views?

'Before any individual can be admitted to high office, he or she must first demonstrate sound moral thinking in relation to the issues of race, homosexuality, gender equality, socialism and the supremacy of the Party'

Well, given that CEOs now have more power than most politicians, are becoming equivalent to royalty in the old days, its no wonder that people worry.

That said, its just one more example of why we should NOT let those who come to power in business also have more political votes.

According to this, Sterling is a Republican, but I don't think it really matters one way or the other. He donated a total of $11,000 to three different Democrat candidates, but he's a registered Republican voter. I voted for Ralph Nader, but that doesn't make me a Green.

It's not easy being green, just ask Kermit.

Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke were the last decent presidential choices that might have had a chance to turn this country away from Corporate Democracy. Big business has spent a fortune just to discredit him, but the American voter continues to blindly follow their party affiliations. Like fans at a sporting event, they sheepishly support their two party candidates.

Saturday Night Live did a nice lampoon of Sterling to open the show last night.

It never matters when it's a Democrat. Al Sharpton has not only said but done things a million times worse in public than what Sterling said in private, and president Obama has no problem taking money from Sharpton or posing for pictures with Sharpton, and MSNBC has no problem amplifying Sharpton's message. Sharpton's entire show is constantly teaching people to hate each other, giving reasons why it's okay to hate, rationalizing bigotry and prejudice. Oh yes, the race-baiting hypocrite double standard of the Left is alive and well, complete with tens millions of voters to support it without question.

Sharpton audaciously exploited the Sterling situation to bring attention to himself. He called for the NBA to investigate Sterling and to bar him from owning the Clippers.

“No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language,” he told TMZ. “What is there to investigate? He should be suspended immediately. Let’s quit stalling, let’s quit copping out, NBA. Let him go.”

“You cannot run a major business in this country and expect people to buy from you if you, sponsor a bigot,” he said. “I’ll be in action working on the phone with CEOs of major, that’s how we got rid of [Don] Imus, with advertisers.”

Here is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Sharpton condemned Sterling’s racism, as if he doesn’t have his own extensive and well documented history of bigoted remarks.

Sterling, now banned from the NBA for a lifetime, has a history of stirring raced based controversy, but so does Al Sharpton. Sharpton has trashed “homos,” “chinamen,” “crackers,” and has unapologetically used the “N” word…

The Democratic Party in 2004 and 2008 had no problem appearing with Sharpton in presidential debates. Not one candidate called Sharpton out for his outrageous history of hate. A Republican, in contrast, who may accidentally or unintentionally slur a politically incorrect remark commits political suicide.

Sharpton is championed by liberals as a Civil Right hero, he is President Obama’s confidant, an accepted leader of the black community and is accorded a platform for his hate mongering and racial agitation—his own primetime 6 p.m. show “Politics Nation” on MSNBC. Meanwhile the mainstream media devotes all-encompassing coverage to Sterling to ensure that he is held accountable for his comments.

Why doesn’t the public and the President apply same standard to Al Sharpton as they do to Donald Sterling? Powerful people and organizations are willing to look past hate when they believe it may benefit them, which distinguishes Sharpton’s success.

I carved my Ralph Nader pumpkin in 2004 for Halloween, and the other 2 pumpkins at my house got smashed, the Nader was untouched.

Respect.
