These black people, they just don’t know when to stop, do they? First, a black lady managed to become a “political journalist” at PBS. Then a (half) black fellow managed to become the Democratic nominee for president, of America of all places! Now it turns out that a book the black lady wrote about black politicians including and especially that (half) black fellow is going to be published as scheduled in January. CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE LETTING THIS BLACK LADY MODERATE A DEBATE TOMORROW??? [Washington Post]

Pretty uppity if you ask me.
Who decided to teach these people to read anyway? Any fool should have guessed it would only be a matter of time before they then learned to write.
Debates are for liberal, pussies anyway. Any real American would have just claimed the presidency months ago.
Next thing you know they’ll let some African evangelist lay hands on a white woman in our last refuge of MERKA, Alaska!
Damn you, Melanin Warriors!
Is she one a’ them blacks what stole all our good mortgages and replaced them with the bad ones?
During a vice-presidential candidate debate she moderated in 2004 – when Democrat John Edwards attacked Republican Dick Cheney’s former employer, Halliburton – the vice president said, “I can respond, Gwen, but it’s going to take more than 30 seconds.”
“Well, that’s all you’ve got,” she told Cheney.
How dare that uppity negress speak to a powerful white man that way! She must be in the tank for Obama.
This is as good a reason as any for Sarah Palin to boycot the debate!
Stand STRONG, Sarah! For the sake of our Republic, for the sake of our way of life.
Boycot!!!
OH NOES!!! Don’t let teh culordz toghter!
I remember the good ole days when the coloreds knew their place.
Oh, I just figured she’d be biased for Palin because they’re both women. Perhaps she’s in the tank for both?
Of course Palin is going to debate!!! She’s been studying the works of Joe Biden since she was in the second grade – the year BEFORE he was elected to the Senate.
30 years of watching C-SPAN cannot go to waste, folks.
[re=117038]EnBuenOra[/re]: Probably. You know the sub-prime mortgage meltdown was a negro conspiracy.
She’s going to make the black power salute, to which Joe Biden will reply, and Sarah will be all like “What’s that all a-boot?”
[re=117045]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Don’t forget all of the newspapers and magazines she reads…
[re=117043]grendel[/re]: Yes, the NBA post-1952 and pre Vlady Divac. And don’t get me started on teh hockey.
[re=117036]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: …and then they’ll want to use our drinkin’ fountains and swimin’ pools! I say, I say outrageous!
It is unconscionable that they are allowing someone who has any clue about politics, the economy, international affairs, or basic math moderate this debate. By doing so they are clearly showing their anti-Palin bias.
The black/white thing is getting older every day. Cast off the chains of predjudice white people! Cast off the chains of your past black people. And welcome the celebration of American diversity as the true path to the new American ascendency!
I appreciate it if someone can provide me with a translation of what I just wrote.
[re=117044]WagTehGod[/re]: That’s SEXIST!
Man… What a country we’ve grown into… It’s like Idiocracy was a documentary and not a comedy.
“It’s got ‘lectrolites! It’s what plants crave!”
The Eyeful vs. the Ifill….gives scissoring a new name.
Also: anytime someone says “In the tank” these days for some reason I picture Dukakis.
Better get on YouTube and find that clip of Ifill telling Cheney he’s only got 30 seconds, I’d put money that McFailin is jotting that sound bite down on the back of her hand.
Only Ron Paul and the Stormfront stormtroopers can save our White American Reich now!
WTF? Black people are allowed on television? On TELEVISION? Next thing you know they’ll be lettin’ ‘em have jobs too! They’ll put out music albums, play on the SAME sports teams with whites! DRIVE CARS!!! Jesus Christ in a pink tutu!
Didn’t Ifill write for the New York Times? That outfit always looked a bit shady…
Ifill: “First question, Governor Palin – does the current economic crisis -”
Palin: (interrupts) “Omg, that’s so cool! It’s a chocolate person!”
She added: “No one’s ever assumed a white reporter can’t cover a white candidate.”
For the love of all that is HOLY…can we just cut the shit and get right to the blantent racism of saying that somehow Gwen’s book makes her unable to moderate a debate!!!
Just admit you are AFRAID to let Falin out without a lesh on…I don’t care how ‘well’ she debated in ALASKA…she is gonna live up to her name and FAIL FAIL FAIL tomorrow night and then I hope Gwen knocks her upside her head with an advance copy of her book!
Substitute Moderator John McLaughlin FTW:
MCLAUGHLIN: Governor Palin, do you deem the Paulson $700 billion bailout plan sound fiscal steersmanship or a looming debacle of metaphysical proportions?
PALIN: Umm… I’m just ill, John…
MCLAUGHLIN: WRONG! Next question!
On today’s Morning JoeBob Shrum pointed out the fact that this book has been in the works for a while now, so the McCain researchers and/or debate negotiators should have been aware of it. If the Johnny Waltnuts! campaign had a problem with it, they shouldn’t have agreed on her as a moderator.
[re=117035]Christastic[/re]: In a coup?
Palin’s definitely “dropping” her pen a few times during the debate.. (slowly and seductively bends over in quarter-profile, picks it up with ass poked out, twiddles pen in mouth while brushing fallen locks out of her eyes)… Uh-oh I’m getting a woody!
[re=117045]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: She’s lying, of course. I can’t believe she made it to the second grade.
Problem with Gwen is that she black as tar, nappy-headed, got legs like baseball bats, and I hear she got that nasty women’s disease
Alex Trebek could moderate. He’s Canadian and therefore neutral although you CAN see Alaska from Canada.
She’s probably wishy-washy on America too. Just look at her name, fer chrissake. Ifill? Ifill when? Ifill what? Almost as weird as Obama. And she doesn’t wear a flag pin either! What happened to all the prep-school white guys? They can’t be that busy hosting their own shows to come moderate for America?
“You got 30 seconds bitch or I’ll cut cha”
…not only is she black but she is also named after a famous FRENCH monument!!! She should immediately bleach her skin and change her last name to “Statue of Liberty” to prove her patriotism.
…they could always have Bill Maher moderate if they aren’t comfortable with this lady!
What needs to happen is you breeders need to start fuckin’ outside your race like you aint never fucked before. If we were all a nice caramel mochaobama color we wouldn’t have had all these problems.
Oh yeah. And Gwen is like 5000 pounds of awesome.
I would love to see the Gov. break out and speak in tongues. Or is that what she was doing with Katie Couric?
Seriously, the Repubes are raising their usual non-issue diversionary stink:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/01/debate-moderators-objectivity-questioned/
MACAROONS!
I keep forgetting … is this a “black people are a cancer upon our society” year or a “but why won’t you minorities vote for us, huh? HUH???” year?
Oh, right.
[re=117129]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Maher couldn’t hold Gwen’s jockstrap.
Chris Rock says we can now have an African American moderator since we’ve already had a retarded one. Oh, and that goes for presidents, too.
[re=117135]Strappo[/re]: Haha, Macaroons, Hahahaha
It would put the Republicans more at ease if she wore a do-rag and began questions with, “Praise Jeeesus, Massa Biden, I don’ per-xacly know, but seems to me if the Sunni ‘waknin’…”
Gwen is likely to be all doped up on painkillers because of her broken ankle. What if she just started cracking up the minute Bible Spice opened her mouth–gawd, that would be hilarious. She may provide more entertainment than Bible Spice.
Not to worry. They’ll fit Palin with the earphone rig that Bush wore in his debate with Kerry. Remember Bush’s blank stare as he was being instructed how to answer the questions?
[re=117086]Hairy Reed[/re]: Who said anything about a coup?
Doncha know, we got that nice lady moderator’s picture on all our pancake mix
and syrup up here in Wasila. I’ll bet Track, Trig and Truck would love your autograph,
Ms. Jemimah.
If Gwen Ifill married John Tower, she’d be. . . well, she’d be a necrophiliac.
Gwen is “in the tank so far her oxygen line is about to run out”? huh?
I, for one, am surprised that McCain said Gwen would be a-ok with him. He totally missed an opportunity to SUSPEND THE CAMPAIGN FOR FAIRNESS and try delay the debate again.
I want Gwen to ask about the “gay best friend” that she bragged about to Katie Couric. I don’t believe such a person exists.
[re=117258]the deliverator[/re]: All he has to do is get the base demanding her blood for the same effect, and far less embarrassment at his political impotence.
Gwen: don’t forget to wear an antibullet vest.
And remember: everything in moderation, including moderation.
Everyone knows blacks control the media, just ask Geraldine Ferero.
holy crap: its the race card!
I think the debate prep has made the Rs realize that it was no big deal when Walnuts picked Bible Spice without vetting her, someone should have gone behind his back and checked this woman’s IQ.
Rs always attack the media first to to make reporters defensive and extra solicitous to prove they’re not really liberals.In Two-Gun Sarah’s case, it has the extra benefit of being able to blame her abysmal performance on Gwen Ifill’s negro bias.
Could Palin really be as stupid as we think she is? Damn–Buy more Campbell’s soup, folks. I stocked up today and even splurged on a couple of those fancy box kinds, you know, an organic, fancy brand. Now I have both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner covered.
Can’t a sister get some love? So basically the new rule is that Barack Obama is the only black person who gets to do anything. All other black people need to shuffle along because white America can only handle one powerful Black person at the time. The rest of us need to hunker down on the plantation until folks get used to Barack Obama talking all fancy and stuff.
This is funny and scary. On the one hand, It is a relief for me as an educated African American (Ph.D.) to see wonkette call out the racial/racist subtext of this attack on Gwen Iffil. On the other hand, it makes me scared and sad that Gwen Iffil is being disparaged as she is one of the most accomplished journalists in the country of any race or gender.
[re=117465]SisterTruth[/re]: Exactly. Also, if Barack Obama so much as implies that there are races, on Earth, as he so cunningly did a few months ago when he said he had a weird name and didn’t look like Benjamin Franklin (who does, these days?), the McCain people immediately accuse him of “playing the race card.”
[re=117465]SisterTruth[/re]: “All other black people need to shuffle along because white America can only handle one powerful Black person at the time. ”
No, the rest of them just need to shut up because there is one that disproves all the examples of hardship the rest are going through. Also, there are no whites made poor by this administration.
So Drudge “broke” this story, linking to an “exclusive” from the WorldNetDaily website.
Has anyone else looked at this shit? http://www.wnd.com/
Their other big “exclusive” story bears the title: ‘Fulfilled’: Apostle Paul’s predicted time of fables is today.’
So these apocalypse freaks post some half-assed story about Gwen Ifill’s book (which will undoubtedly cover Powell and Rice, too), Drudge links to it, and now it’s on CNN? Sick, sick, sick.
I don’t agree with White Power – or White Supremacy – and nor do I agree with the term used on Ifils’ new book of “Black Power on Politics during the World of Obama.” . Who does he think he is? Hitler? He takes the American Flag off his airplane, replaces it with his “Obama Symbol” and then uses that symbol behind him at his speeches instead of an American Flag. Does he think he is going to be the next President of Obama World? No, I don’t think so. This is the USA. Also, I don’t believe anyone should be a Fire Chief unless you have been a Fire Fighter. I don’t believe anyone should be a Police Chief unless they have served as a cop – and I sure as heck don’t believe a Commander in Chief should be in charge of our great Military if you 1) have never served in the military in some form or fashion 2) don’t get what the military stands for 3) wouldn’t have the guts to do what you are sending our men to do.
Obama has never served, nor should he be in charge of, our great Military.
May God’s will be done.
Amen.
FireEyes ’08
He knows what America’s military stands for.
[re=117717]FireEyes[/re]: So what’s better: serving the positions that you have held honorably, i.e. showing up on time, taking a leadership role, serving the American people (yes, inner-city Chicago residents count as U.S. citizens, too), or signing up for military service, committing to six years of duty, then getting your daddy to write you a note excusing you because you’ve caught the clap?
Praise Jesus!
