\t\t\t\tYes, there’s something flaky<\/a> about a guy with a radio show taking money to push a bill<\/a>, even if most of the money is for commercials that are obviously commercials. Anytime money changes hands for message there’s something shady. All advertising is suspect.<\/p>\n

But why are the complaints limited to conservatives like Williams and the Thune bloggers when it’s obvious to anybody with half a brain that Atrios, Josh Marshall, Markos, and Oliver Willis are absolute and total whores of the Democratic Party?<\/p>\n

Josh Marshall’s infamous Strom Thurmond\/Trent Lott campaign was a project of the DNC, where Carville carried the orders to Marshall to proceed. Markos and the rest of the lefty blogosphere are paid handsomely (OK, except for Willis<\/a> who’s probably cost-effective) to shill, tout, spin, lie, or whatever it takes to advance a policy interest and a set of candidates.<\/p>\n

So what did Williams do that was so god-awful exciting? Everybody knows he’s conservative who’s worked for Clarence Thomas and Strom Thurmond. Everybody knows he’s black. So he’s obviously an important asset in the Republican consciousness-raising effort on education, where the task is to show blacks that the Democratic Party will never educate their children properly because they’re whores to the Teachers’ Union.<\/p>\n

If the issue is the tax money, my god that’s pretty damn lame. Tax money flows into the pockets of advocates every day under such noble causes as the Violence Against Women Act and nobody complains.<\/p>\n

I’m trying real hard to honor these complaints, but I’m having a hard time getting over the idea that Democrats are caught in their traditional hatred of black conservatives. Maybe I shouldn’t have read racist Democrat Steve Gilliard<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Brother, them white folks is gonna jump up on your ass like you were a trampoline. You’ll be lucky to avoid jail. The conservative lynching is already starting.<\/p>\n

It’s like that line from Trading Places: “Of course I would never let a nigger run our company” Well, of course, if Williams is a crook, they would never defend his lying nigger ass.<\/p>\n

Josh Marshall asked who else is taking payments from the White House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He would, wouldn’t he?<\/p>\n

So help me out, outraged liberals, show me the beef.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: See Williams’ apology and clarification here<\/a>. Not surprisingly, the reporting on this fiasco has been biased.<\/p>\n

ANOTHER UPDATE: Dan Flynn is not impressed<\/a> by Williams’ apology, which he finds disingenuous, and neither is LaShawn Barber<\/a>.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
