We have been out and about for a few days, so we are a little late on our Glenn Beck/Al Sharpton rally coverage. Luckilly, Lady Liberty's Lamp is on the ball with their assesment of last Saturday, and we must say Glenn Beck's rally was truly the greatest honor that could be given to Martin Luther King Jr. on the 47th anniversary of his "I Have A Dream Speech". A month after MLK gave that speech, noted conservative James J. Kilpatrick said in his article "The Hell He Is Equal" (which by the way was pulled from the Saturday Evening Post because the Birmingham bombing that killed four black girls in church just happened) that, "...the Negro race, as a race, is in fact an inferior race." And ten days after James J. Kilpatrick died at the age of 89, a white man rallied other white people along with people of color who would put up with him to say that they were inferior to Martin Luther King, Jr! Sure, it was phony posturing so conservatives can say they weren't racist, but even that was a sign that what Martin Luther King work was not in vain! Sadly, it was also a sign that work needed to be done because truth of the matter is that those who came out to the rally at the Lincoln Memorial did not come in the spirit of unity and social justice as those who participated in the 1963 March on Washington. If they were going to do that, they would have participated in the rally that Al Sharpton put together, and they made sure that no matter what Beck was pulling that day, black people - particularly the ones he didn't like - will be heard. This link comes with a few videos from the day including a special one from Lady Liberty's Lamp themselves. We will have ours up shortly, but with Nazis running around in banana suits, you will have to excuse us for the tardiness.

We kind of have to wonder about Vinlanders. For three years, Brien James & Co. have been trying like hell to make themselves look like stand up citizens merely interested in upholding their culture and heritage, not politically driven white supremacists trying to screw with people who aren't white. And in the course of those three years we have had Vinlanders going to jail for attacking homeless people and killing their girlfriends and toddler sons. Now we have this Vinlander scum named Aaron Schmidt from Phoenix, Arizona (why do all racist roads lead back to this state?) who along with four other Vinlanders harassed an interracial couple in 2009, shooting and killing the woman, Kelly Jaeger. Of the five that were involved, four are now in custody, with Schmidt captured in Livingston, Tennessee over the past year. Now we are sure ol' Brien is going to do his little song and dance about how they were not Vinlanders and that Vinlanders would never do this. And we will laugh at him as we will always do, while chalking it up as yet the latest example of why we keep screwing with his people. In other words, forget it, Brien. No one is buying your BS excuses.

 Some records have him listed as “Michael William”, so it was a bit of a task finding this guy. Regardless, we did – holed up in Palm Beach County Jail, and it doesn’t look like he is getting out soon. Michael Williams is there because he is a convicted felon and should not own a firearm at any time for any reason, yet that didn’t seem to stop him from doing so. Police felt the need to raid his home on Aug. 11 and turned up a few of them, along with ammunition. Williams is down with the Florida Nazi scene, but is best known as a cybernazi. At the time of his arrest he was an administrator at eNationalist, who are now trying to play the victim card using him so people will give them money. Cry us a river, scumbags. You just gave us something to laugh about! So if you are looking for Mike, just remember to spell his last name W-I-L-L-I-A-M. And leave off the last “S” – for stupid!

 Well, we were hoping to have the videos from our weekend in DC up here at this point, but then this comes up and we had to break away from working on that to deal with this. Murfreesboro, TN is about 943 miles from New York City, and the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has been in town for about twenty years, but that hasn't stopped the Islamophobes from mounting opposition against its expansion. For good measure, one of the chief hatemongers out of Nashville against that center named Laurie Cardozo-Moore treked up to the Aug. 22 rally in Lower Manhattan to lend her support and speak to those opposing Park 51, the Islamic Center that is being built there. Now the narrative has been that Park 51's construction was not respecting the sensitivities of the families who lost loved ones in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center a few blocks away from where the center is being built. It simple: Park 51 is a center for Muslims, Muslims bombed the World Trade Center, hence all Muslims are accountable for Sept. 11, even the ones who have denounced those who did the attack - like Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the man building Park 51. That narrative took a serious beating as speaker after speaker went on about things which had nothing to do with Sept. 11 and Park 51, especially Laurie Cardozo-Moore who decided to attack Muslims for not signing the Declaration of Independence and fighting in the Revolutionary War (she was wrong about that one, by the way). On Saturday, a week after that rally, construction vehicles were set on fire at the site of the Murfreesboro expansion. Police are saying it is arson. This, by the way, comes five days after the attack on a NYC cabbie because he was a Muslim - one day after the rally. It is particularly curious that with the exception of this video produced by us, you don't find too much footage of the speeches from the rally, not even from the organizers. We can't blame them to be hones, but after this attack in Murfreesboro, we thought it would be a good idea to give you Cardoza-Moore's speech there as we taped it. It will give you an idea of the hate that created the climate we see down there. That video is included in this link.

We are starting this link off after the jump with our new video from the hatefest that took place in Lower Manhattan last Sunday. It will help put things in perpective when you read how a guy the next day in Manhattan would attack a cab driver for being Muslim. Now everyone is confused by the attack because 21-year-old Michael Enright (pictured) works for a group that supported Park 51, the Islamic Center that is slated to be built near the World Trade Center site, sparking the latest controversy hate-propaganda campaign from the right. Ironically, although the man he attacked was not supportive of the project. Whatever the case may be, it is more than apparent what kind of climate is being fostered with the right's campaign. On Aug 26, Former Governor George Pataki was asked about the attack on MSNBC and the fact that it comes so soon after the right's ratchting up of tensions against Muslims. Without missing a beat Pataki implied that it is just another reason why Park 51 should not be built so close to the World Trade Center site. That callousness, plus the fact that those who came out to the hate-rally on Sunday are attacking other mosques and Islamic centers across the country, is all the more reason why Park 51 must go forward with their current plans. Not only that, but we all need to start going hardcore against the people that have been pushing this brand of Islamophobia unchecked for the past decade. Over the summer this same crowd has mounted campaigns against Hispanics, Blacks, Gays, and now Arabs/Muslims - while at the same time, acting appalled that they are being called racist and bigoted. But to quote one of those bigots, a shrill Islamophobe named Beth Gilinsky, "We know what you are, we know what this is, we are not fooled!"

In the "this is getting old" department, Zach Beck, the misfit of Aryan Nations (and that's saying a lot) is in the pokey once again. This idiot has already been in jail for attacking someone he assumed was Mexican and shooting at a police officer. Apparently he has missed his old jail cel because he is there again, this time for assaulting a black man in a bar. He has company this time, some guy named Kory Boyd, and this all took place back in January. The pair are just being indicted now, and judging by his track record, Beck will be off the streets for a while. His Rogues' Gallery entry hasn't been updated in a few years simply because there was no updates coming our way. Simply put, he didn't go back to jail yet. We want to thank him for giving us current info about his status. We will update accordingly.
