Today, more on the Arizona immigration law and efforts to fight this latest right-wing outrage. Plus, progressive efforts to achieve economic justice in New York and elsewhere. Right-wing racism rears its ugly head throughout. And you'll hear a clip of Glenn Beck you won't believe. Actually, you probably will, if you know him.
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
Scheduling note: episodes of Blast The Right will be posted every three weeks.
Decided to give Jack Clark a try today when I happened across him on iTunes. Jack did a great job of demonstrating the greed and oppression of the Right Wing. It was easy to see that the Right Wing is the cold, immoral demographic in the US. Jacks listeners are right to enjoy his use of fact to back up his statements.
ReplyDeleteOops. Turns out "The Facts" point out something odd. Red states, or Right Wingers, give a significantly higher percentage of their income to charitable organizations. Sorry, forgot to give you the facts. http://blog.fortiusone.com/2009/01/07/dataset-of-the-day-who-is-more-generous-republicans-or-democrats/
Hypocrites exist on both sides. Liberals are only generous with other peoples money. Jack would rather give a man a fish, not teach a man to fish.
Greedy Right Wingers?! Ha! Take a closer look at your cherished statistics, Jack. Stay away from statistics where liberals spend our money, take a look at how generous liberals are with their own hard earned money.
Willing to bet the blog author will not have the guts to post this on his/her "objective" blog.
What Jeffrey does not understand the vital information from the previous podcasts from Blast the Right on the issue of no trickle down affect from wealth to Middle-class. Furthermore, Jeffrey does not address concern for the serious tax avoidance from the wealthy. So what if a few gives millions to so called charitable organization. What about the billions they stock pile and millions they could pay for providing decent work with a living wage to the Americans as they should?
ReplyDeleteWhat Blast the Right points out is the wealthy only have one agenda, to protect their own asses and screw everyone else. They want to kill off the Middle-Class Americans and rule the world.
Jack hope all is going well. Hope you are working on the next podcast. It's been a while since the last podcast. I love the show.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from CA.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people miss you, Jack. Let us know how you are and get yourself back in the game.

"A recent study found that African-Americans are still routinely excluded from southern juries, thus denying black defendants a jury of their peers."
ReplyDeleteThe only way this is helpful is to compare the rate at which blacks, whites and other hispanics are excluded from juries. The law allows for exclusion. Is it being applied disproportionately to minorities? I don't doubt it is, but the statistical proof would be in a comparison, not in the statement above.
Thanks for tackling the issues.
Jack.
ReplyDeleteThere are few people who tackle so many topics of concern in this white washed era of "Right" driven media.
When it comes to Arizona styled Immigration ideology... I think there is a larger issue at stake. The Right loves to create an - us verses them mentality. One that seems to always prove that America does no wrong.
There are many US wars going on today. I believe that the Immigration issue is the beginning of a US central and south American war. One that is started with the name of War on Drugs but will soon be turned into Anglos verses Latins.
I don't know how many people know, that the US is currently building as many as 7 military bases in Colombia. Why would a country build military bases if it weren't going to initial some kind of military action.
If Latinos are considered druggies and bad for the US - much like the muslims.. then it will be easy for Fox and Republican types to make the co-relation that we need to exterminate them before they do the US harm.
Very poor logic but it has worked for 911.
The US is still in Afganistan/Iraq even after it was proven that it was Saudi nationals that were implicated as part of the group that attacked the Trade Towers.
In this era of USA kill before you think - before you check your values - before you understand human rights, US people of conscience need to gather and correct the view of all nationalities. No nationality is better than another. We need to stop creating an us and them. We are on this world together. Don't drop legislative bombs nor real ones. Give and you will receive. The US needs to stop creating enemies.
There are no boogie men. (unless they are us)
Jack, come the hell back.
