Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

This exchange is amazing to me, She did play the race card by pitting one black group’s opinions against another. It was transparent and obvious and submission of documents are used to puncutate positions when during during an exchange.
Alford got this 100% right she was saying, in her words, “here is something you might find interesting..” when submitting the NAACP resolution document. Meaning you as a black man should be more interested in this NAACP resolution than in the Pew report.
Worst part is she felt by saying she respects the panelists it made her behaviour all right. Trust me she knew exactly what she was doing.
Alls dem black boys otta be proud. And deys otta agree wit each utter bout energy.
Not only did she play the race card, but she wouldn’t let him get a word in edgewise. The PC bitch got her comeuppance at the end though. Good for him!!
I heard this on Rush Limbaugh’s show this a.m. Had a good snicker over it, too.
Boxer never ceases to amake me. And you wonder why California is in the state that is in when this is what comes out from there. She really never sounds all that smart just petulent and arrogant like she just knows, thinks, she’s the smartest person in the room. Sadly, that’s an affliction known by too many liberals out there.
GOP should run him against Barry in ’12. Producer vs. parasite.
If you are a Warm Monger, the end justifies the means.
Use whatever it takes – racism, religious zealotry, Marxism, communism, anti democracy, anti capitalism, – anything at all, as long as the United Nations can bring us One World Governance. No matter if it gets there under the ruse of environmentalism.
boxer is an idiot and a discrace. in days when when honesty and morality meant something she would have been kicked out of her position and sent back to where ever the hell she was from.
I agree 100% with the anti-Boxer sentiments but why do they even have a Black Chamber of Commerce?? This is the kind of nonsense that Boxer, Sontonmayor et al promote.
…but why do they even have a Black Chamber of Commerce??
Why indeed, why do they have a Congressional Black Caucus
“I have a letter that says, I Barbara Boxer, speak for the black business man.”
“No you don’t I’m the head of the black chamber of commerce.”
“Look, shut the f@#k up, we put you in groups based on your skin colour for a reason.”
Good on Mr. Alford. He made a good point and never backed down.
Harry has….grit…..
I agree she did play the race card, but isn’t calling yourself the “Black Chamber of Commerce” playing the race card also.
What else does one expect from the racist Democrats?
The Democrats are, after all, the Party of the KKK. The KKK was their terrorist wing, their Sturmabteilung.
… isn’t calling yourself the “Black Chamber of Commerce” playing the race card also.
Yup; unless you meet in a room without light bulbs.

ALFORD: For someone to tell me — an African-American, college educated veteran of the United States Army — that I must contend with some other black group and put aside everything else in here. This has nothing to do with the NAACP and really has nothing to do with the National Black Chamber of Commerce. We’re talking energy, and that road the chair went down I think is God awful.

And this is coming after Palin’s WaPO editorial on the 14th. that slams Cap and Tax.
“We’re talking energy” (finally)

“Good on Mr. Alford. He made a good point and never backed down.”
Yes he did. I was actually pleased to see that he was able to control himself and not pop a cap in that bi*ches ass. On the other hand though, he seemed a little bent out of shape knowing that it wouldn’t be an easy “affirmative action” victory if other affirmative action groups were against him.
Why is his case an affirmative action case? “Black” Chamber of Commerce.
If you want to wear the TITLE and reap its BENEFITS expect to be dealt with as such.
Heh , his pimp hand is strong .
wow.
Ms Boxer now needs to remember once it’s ‘out there’ it stays ‘out there’ FOREVER.
“the tolerant left”
now, would that be article, adjective, noun or
article, noun, verb ?
But what do the National Association for the Advancement of Polish people think about Barry’s energy policy or what about the Irish Chamber of commerce or the National Greek federation of Feta cheese.
As soon as you separate even one ethnic group for any reason you are being racist in whatever it is you are trying to do.
This is divide and conquer and it has always worked. The Democrats are dividing us up in as many ways as possible.
That black man has it right … the chat is about ENERGY NOT RACE.
United we stand.
Screw the democrats they are the real enemy of America.
While I’m on Mr. Alford’s team on the substance of the argument and think that Barbara Boxer is scum, they are both wrong in this case.
Alford, in his role as the President of the “BLACK Chamber of Commerce” puts forth the proposition that BLACK businessmen share a common view on energy policy.
Boxer rebuts the argument by dredging up BLACKS who disagree with Alford.
Both sides played the race card.
Alford was correct in saying that any black groups with competence on the topic who held opposing views should have been invited to the meetings.
Barbara Boxer is appalling. The most condescending people on earth are those who take it as a given that by virtue of their self-considered superiority and generosity they’re “uplifting” whoever they’re speaking to. Yechh. In Boxer’s case, the fact that she sounds exactly like Kyle’s mom doesn’t exactly help either.
Hooray for Harry C. Alford, at least, for not letting her patronizing violation of common decency go unnoticed. For her to say “just so you know, (unrelated black man X) would be proud that you are here” is the most insulting thing she could possibly say; essentially, she’s telling him that as a black man he’s like a Special Olympian, say, who should be proud of just being there.
Reminds me a bit of Ignatieff’s similarly condescending enobling/mythologizing of the guy — Pauchay? — who dropped his half-naked toddlers in the snow when it was forty below and staggered away: in both cases, it’s a self-satisfied routine wherein the bigotry of low expectations is portrayed as an act of endless shining generosity. Ignatieff said, in effect, “it’s not your fault because you’re Indian and you just don’t know any better. Us non-Indians should have taken better care of your life.” Boxer, in large print between the lines, said “well, you’ve got the wrong position on the environment, it’s not the correct and authentically black view — I as Jewish woman have selected a particular named colored group as being the legitimate expression of the black male perspective — but nonetheless I want to take a second to announce to you, because I want you to know, that your fellow black man who heads this other group I have selected as being the voice of blacks, would be proud that you are here. You should be proud for having made it into this room, for sitting there all upright-like, wearing a suit and tie, and speaking your black mind on behalf of black people. You are, sir, a credit to your race.”
curious_george, I’m not sure who you attribute to the “left” or the “tolerant”, but that is a clever parsing of the phrase.

“they are both wrong in this case………..Both sides played the race card.”
BINGO!
The sweetest outcome of the video though is watching that lefty nut reap the harvest from the seeds she had helped sow!
She probably balled her eye’s out all night long rhythmically repeating “I’m not a racist, I’m not a racist, I’m not a racist”……………………………Yes you are.
Knight 99, you got it! As much as Boxer is disgusting, Alford, sitting there as the head of the “Black Chamber of Commerce” has little room to be high-minded about “racial” things.
Don’t you dare raise your voice to one of the chosen schawzi. Lets get one thing straight boy,my tribe forked over hundreds of billion of dollars to make one of your kind presedent just so you black folf think you rule this country. We run this country get it? Now I hope when we start our second Bolshevik Revolution here in the US that we can work much closer together. Remember to stik with the plan,,,,next!
the revolution will have all these scum being put really close together

Man, you nailed the psychology here! That is PRECISELY what ran through my fevered brain watching that clip. It echoes Buffoon Biden’s comment about Obama being a “nice clean” black man.
All upright-like. EBD, that is simply perfect.
OTOH, I’m also with the folks above who question the whole notion of a Black Chamber of Commerce. Try to imagine a White Chamber of Commerce. If the latter sickens you, so should the former. It’s a bit rich for a cat representing the Black Chamber of Commerce to accuse her of racialism.
Good on him, tho.
Boxer reminded me of a female version of Roland Freisler, the President of Nazi Germany’s Volksgerichtshof during the trial of Sophie Scholl. If you haven’t seen the movie “Sophie Scholl, the Final Days”, you should watch it and watch the court room scenes and the antics of Roland Freisler. Although Freisler was a bit more animated, there are a lot of similarities to Boxer.
The left is race obsessed and they reflexively race bait in argument. As this guy being questioned has discovered, you can’t trust the motives of someone who paints every issue as a race issue.
Heh , his pimp hand is strong .
Was that really appropriate?
Amazing arrogance from Boxer..AGAIN.
She thinks ” If she says it= It is so”
Amazing.
I like the guy. I wouldent have taken her crap either. Lefties are so used to setting up straw men, Boxer couldent get her head around the fact not everyone likes quotas or identity politics.
I wish the conservatives had more people with grit telling these facists what for.
JMO
Hey we’ve got our own Boxer right here in Manitoba …. Anita Neville is avery bit as ignorant and arrogant.
Of course that probably explains why she is a LIberal in the first place…….
So …. a Chicken or Egg discussion ensues !
Or not………..
You mean like pointing out, in plain English, at the US Senate hearings, what everyone already knows, and the recent Supreme Court ruling against her so clearly demonstrates, that Sotomajor has been nominated to the Supreme Court precisely because she is a racial bigot, a leftist ideologue, and 100% certain to uphold Roe V Wade. Sotomajor told a bald-faced lie to the world when she promised to be fair and impartial. She is incapable of being either. The rulings against her prove that.
I’m sorry I can’t do proper links, but this is a revealing 16 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryEGmkjv8R8
Alternatively, when the video above is played, click onto the box underneath that says: Call me “Seantor”, not “Ma’am”.
Might be a tad early for Reader’s Tips but here is Jackie Mason and his take on Sarah and Obama…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW3oE5Z-LVM
Sorry, that should have been: Barbara Boxer to General: Call me “Senator,” not “Ma’am”.
Which pretty much sums it up, but it’s better live.
She is vile.
Was that really appropriate?
Depends on what I meant by it , no ?
Alford has my respect. He stood up for liberty and justice against a truly offensive attack. She really is disgusting.
As a director of the Alberta chapter of the
White Pride Initiative Association, I’d feel very offended if someone pulled that trick on me. If I was asked to support a cause, just because the Arian Nation endorses it, I might have the same reaction.
What could be more racist? They’re assuming, just because I’m white, that I must have the same goals as every other white person. I take great offense to that assertion.
Bill D. Cat – I assume you meant that all black men are pimps at heart and that all women should be put in their place when they get mouthy, but maybe you meant something nice, do tell.
The liberals will be beside themselves; some of dem blackies just don’t wanna stay on the plantation…but they’re musical people all the same.
I think Boxer & her Staff have brought shame upon the Senate… She & her staff obviously threatened Alford before he testified… She was belittling & Scolding him
A similar event happened during the Thomas hearings when a Dallas lawyer took the stand and promptly chastised the staff of the Democrats for threatening him.. The Senate hearing moved past the partisan circus act & Thomas was confirmed
This is too funny.
A guy heading up the “Black Chamber of Commerce”, sanctimoniously denounces a woman for being “racial”. That would be funny enough by itself, but as it turns out the woman — who indeed is highly “racial” — cannot credibly respond, having herself helped to create the political environment in which the guy feels comfortable enough to be openly “racial” and critical of the woman for being “racial,” knowing the woman can’t point out his hypocrisy because she’s white and he’s black, and it would be racist.
I don’t know how Alford kept a straight face. Bet he fell down laughing after he left the hearing room.
I can imagine SNL doing this as a comedy skit, but then they’d be plagiarizing Congress.
Black Mamba ,
You know the old saying about assume …..
“As a director of the Alberta chapter of the
White Pride Initiative Association” -DP
Sounds kinda Aryan to me.
Please note DP that it is spelled A-R-Y-A-N not Arian.
I guess home schooling in a trailer park isn’t what it used to be.
Her condescension is mind-numbing: “If the report by THIS black group isn’t to your liking, then here’s a report from ANOTHER group of blacks – businessmen, canyabelieve – and maybe that’ll keep you happy and quiet and in your place for a bit.
Feh. My eyes glazed over at the quote from the CEO of 100 Black Men From Atlanta, that noted, “Clean energy is the key that will unlock millions of jobs…”
Do these numbskulls even give a nanosecond of thought before rattling off such tripe? Perhaps Mr. CEO Man is unaware of the study at Spain’s King Juan Carlos University that reported each so-called “green” job created cost roughly $900K USD to support, and led to the demise of 2.2 private sector jobs. How’s that for “change you can believe in”?
