Condoleezza For The New Millenium Is Running For Congress

My first Saturday Sellout piece was about Angela McGlowan, the Faux News conservanegroid spokesmodel who is called on when they need cover to attack Black people in general or the First Lady.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen much of her lately on the GOP Propaganda Network and now I know why.

To top off a bad week for liberal-progressive folks, I read over at Jack and Jill Politics that Miss Right Wing Thang had some meetings up on Capitol Hill with the NRCC and various Repugnican congressmemebers.

That's right, Angela is coming to a congressional district near you. To be precise, she's going back home to the Magnolia State to run for Congress in Mississippi's 1st Congressional district.

The 1st Congressional District stretches across the northern-northeastern corner of the state. It was formerly held by now Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) from 1995-2007 until he was appointed by Gov. Haley Barbour (R) to fill the remainder of Trent Lott's senate term after he resigned on December 18, 2007.

Democrat Travis Childers now holds that seat, and the Repugs are going after him.

There are already two people running in the Republican primary, so Angela's going to see if she can parlay her Fox face time, Ole Miss education, her time working in Sen. Jon Ensign's (R-NV) office (yes, that John Ensign) and beauty pageant good looks into a Congressional seat.

Michael Steele and his GOP minders would probably love for McGlowan to win the primary and be the one challenging Childers in the fall so they can trumpet how 'diverse' they are.

If you're parroting the same bull white male Republicans have been spouting for decades, putting it in a pretty package won't change the fact I and other African Americans ain't voting for your Oreo cookie chomping behind.

We're a lot more politically savvy than you give us credit for, but it'll probably work on the folks she helped bamboozle every day on Faux News.

As for Angela, ugh. What a waste. Another one working for the Dark Side of the Political force.

Since I have relatives in Mississippi, I'll definitely be paying attention to how this plays out.

And oh yeah Angela, the Field Negro is still awaiting a response to the invitation to debate him you keep ducking.

Saturday Sellout-Harry Jackson

Ralph Reed and his friends started the Samaritan Project back in the 90's to recruit Black ministers for the Forces of Faith based Intolerance.

Meet one of their superstars, Bishop Harry Jackson.

He's the senior pastor at the sprawling Hope Christian Church in Lanham, MD and runs the Hi Impact Leadership Coalition, a front organization for Lou Sheldon's Traditional Values Coalition.

He claims he's a 'registered Democrat', but his actions belie that. He's also admitted that’s basically a ploy to give him credibility when attacking President Obama or pushing Republicans for public office.

"I voted for President Bush, but here in Maryland—a primarily Democratic state—in order to vote in the primaries that affect the election, you need to be a Democrat. That’s where I started. Over time, however, I’ve found that I have very little in common with the Democratic Party in terms of national moral values issues. Still, being able to say I’m a registered Democrat disarms many of the people who want to write me off as an “Oreo” or an “Uncle Tom."

No it doesn't, Harry. You're an Oreo-chomping Uncle Tom.

So when the Christobigots need an Oreo-cookie chomping sellout to parrot their talking points and pet issues to a predominately African-American audience, or be the point negro for an anti-gay referendum, you can count on Bigot Harry Jackson being their man.

Check out his virtuoso performance at the recent Values Voters Summit.



He has a long history of Uncle Thomasin for the Religious Reich and a long paper trail as People For The American Way has documented.

He was the Reicher tool in the Prop 8 battle and other anti-gay referendums. He is also taking the lead role in fighting Washington DC's attempts to first recognize and now legalize marriage equality.

He has his hate on for President Obama and liberal-progressive Black leadership in general. He proudly boasts to predominately white evangelical audiences that I'm the “other Jackson.”

Harry, I have more respect for that 'other Jackson' than I ever will for you.
