But don’t think the Tea Party has a racist element…(wink, wink).  Don’t hold your breath expecting Tea Party leadership to “denounce” such rhetoric.  It’s not what they do.

Nothing left to say about the Tea Party.  Have a nice day.  Let us put to rest the debate as to whether the Tea Party fosters or encourages an attitude of racism within its ranks.

For what it’s worth, Herman Cain won the Florida Straw Poll. If you ask Mo’Kelly, not a big deal; not a game changer. Unless Cain can sustain momentum that translates to real acceptance in the party and not token affection as an “Anti-Obama”…means nothing.

But after his win, he took to the airwaves to defend against the claims of the Tea Party being racist by actor Morgan Freeman.

In a recent interview with Vibe magazine, the two-time felon rapper was asked his thoughts on the recent GOP debate.  To which he offered the following:

I feel like as a people the most that we can do is better ourselves and learn. Then look at yourself and ask ‘Am I the person they’re talking about or am I not?’ You have to make the most of who you are because the Republicans are never going to like us.”

First, only people who are not in jail and not on parole can vote in the state of New York…meaning Lil Wayne will not vote in 2012 and did not in 2010.

Secondly, even if he were eligible, do you really think Lil Wayne would be both registered and at the ballot box?

Really?

In truth, Lil Wayne is little different from the Tea Party…they are both in many ways ignorant and uninformed about the realities of Washington.

Why do we keep asking the least informed about issues of politics?  Yes, Mo’Kelly understands how journalists want their work to spread virally and asking rappers about politics is a surefire way to do it.

Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity will come calling soon, you can best believe.

But to skip over the MOST important and relevant information (such as his four children by four different women, arrests on drugs and gun charges and overall disrespect of women in his music)…just to get his meaningless opinion about a GOP debate he clearly did not watch, is piss-poor in nature.

Lil Wayne has opinions on the supposed disrespect of President Obama along the lines of race over the past 2.8 years, but is just fine with the relentless misogyny in his own music over the past 10 years of his career?

Vibe didn’t feel the need to acknowledge the obvious contradiction and hypocrisy?  It’s ok for him to refer to other Black men as N****s, but not ok for Republicans to engage in obstructionist politics with racial undercurrents?

Vibe didn’t feel any inherent responsibility in pointing out the obvious there?

Answering a political question does not a priori rise to the level of astute political commentary.  Mo’Kelly has said a dozen times before and maybe will have to a hundred times more.  All men and women are created equal, but not all opinions.  Some are more informed than others.  Some are misinformed and others are wholly uninformed.  We must stop rewarding and elevating ignorance and serving it up as something supposedly informative or beneficial for our young people.

Record sales and music videos don’t in any way validate one’s politics or political musings.  Never have and never will.

Stop asking those hip-hoppers who are leading the race to the bottom what they think about politics, when they do not actively participate, espouse informed opinions or encourage voter diligence.

Hip-hop does not want Mo’Kelly’s opinion on hip-hop and conversely, Mo’Kelly doesn’t want hip-hop’s opinion on politics.  Leave the heavy lifting to the trained professionals. Lil Wayne is free to wax poetic on all the jewelry, cars, drugs, misogyny, prison, wanton frivolity and Black self-hatred in which he is an expert.  Outside of that, leave the issues of serious importance and concern to those who actually care and are working for the improvement of the African-American community, not its debasement.

If Republicans don’t like “us,” fools like Lil Wayne clearly are adding zero to the equation on our behalf.

Let’s go Michele Bachmann! Push ‘em out, shove ‘em out…WAYYYYY OUT!

Yes, you read that correctly. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s Iowa Straw Poll victory wasn’t only great news for the Bachmann campaign, it was also tremendous news for the Sarah Palin “campaign.” Which a priori is wonderful news for President Obama’s re-election bid.

A vote for Bachmann, is a step closer to a Palin candidacy/nomination. Nothing in this world would make me happier than Sarah Palin declaring her candidacy for president of these United States. And the southern evangelicals think God doesn’t have a sense of humor! Bite your tongue and hush yo’ mouth!

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but all the signs are there. Palin was on a reconnaissance mission in Iowa last weekend, looking to gain insight as to the viability of the Palin name in middle-America.

Bachmann may be the Tea Party Caucus chair in Washington, but Palin is for many the titular head of the movement nationwide. It begs the question, does Bachmann derive her presidential support due to the absence of Sarah Palin or in preference over her?

I say the former and not the latter.

Bachmann

The recent debate performance by Bachmann suggests that her voting base is enamored with the idea of her “principled leadership.”

Hold your jokes, I’m getting there.

Mo’Kelly said THE IDEA of her “principled leadership.” not the contradicting reality. Tim Pawlenty tried unsuccessfully to clue in the Republicans that Bachmann is running on rhetoric, not her actual record (which boasts zero political victories of note.)

But Republicans are consistent, they aren’t interested in facts and that bodes VERY well for a Palin candidacy. Please God, have mercy upon the Democrats and allow this to happen.

Bachmann wants to have it both ways. She wishes to campaign on the ideological platform of “sending a message” to Washington, but also wants you to forget that her office is also located in Washington. Yes, Republicans were never ones to let simple minutia like that get in the way. Remember, this is the party which brought you both The Birthers and the Iraq War. Facts are not their strong suit.

O.J. Simpson will find “the real killers” right around the time George W. Bush finds the Iraq WMDs.

But I digress. Maybe it’s just Mo’Kelly, but Bachmann seems every bit the diet version of Sarah Palin.

All of the intolerance, with just half the fallacies.”

For as extreme as the Congresswoman may seem at times, she’s not Sarah Palin. Palin is in a padded room of a hospital wing all by herself. She worked very hard to earn that distinction, let’s not take it away from her now.

You can’t spell “simpleton” without an “S” and a “P.”

And Sarah Palin probably couldn’t spell it…well, at all…even with a dictionary.

But I again digress.

As long as Palin remains on the periphery as a pundit and not a presidential candidate, Bachmann is arguably the best Tea Party option amongst this field of uncharismatic, post-Reagan conservatives. That simply can not happen. Heaven is oh so close.

Palin is who the Tea Party wants. Hell, Palin is who I want. Palin is who the Tea Party deserves. And I absolutely mean that in the most loving yet condescending way.

Give the people what they want!

I want Sarah Palin on national television debating Michele Bachmann, vying for the title of Republican nominee most anti-Islamic, anti-Gay, anti-African-American, anti-working class, xenophobic human in all America. Somebody is taking home that trophy, let’s just make sure the best are on the field when it is handed out. That’s why the Republican presidential nomination should be set up like the BCS. #1 plays #2. Like college football, if we can’t get a playoff, this is the next best thing. And you can even hold it in the Cotton Bowl…for obvious and symbolic 20^th century Republican reasons. Do the math.

Congresswoman Bachmann garnering the nomination taking home the title of “Most Hateful Republican” without Sarah Palin opposing her is like the Houston Rockets winning the NBA Championship while Michael Jordan is on a baseball diamond…as in worthy of an asterisk. Democrats need to show some spine and get in line with this idea. A campaign donation for Bachmann is a vote of confidence for Sarah Palin. Let nature take its course after that.

The Tea Party deserves better and so does Reality TV. We could feature it on NatGeo, sandwiched in-between all those prison shows. Sambo’s…er uh, Denny’s restaurants could be the title sponsor. You’ve got to see the bigger picture Democrats.

Football would have the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl…Republicans would have the Republican National Convention Denny’s Hate Bowl.

Palin says she will make a final decision by the end of September. Dear God, please let this happen. In fact, I don’t know if this falls under God’s or Santa Claus’ purview. But just to be sure, I’ll be both praying and emailing the North Pole under separate cover.

Glory Hallelujah and Deck the Halls!

For the next 30 days, I’m all about Team Bachmann. See the big picture Democrats…see the big picture.
