rikyrah posted this link from a hat tip from Val in the afternoon thread about the woman seeking the chairmanship of the young republicans and her racists Facebook remarks:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/...

Lenny McAllister, young, black and republican posted the following response on the HipHopRepublican.com website. If only Michael Steele had the balls to deliver the same message to the party he "leads"....

“I am appalled that Audra Shay, a candidate seeking the highest office available for grassroots Young Republicans nationally, could support and encourage antiquated, racist language and behavior that has aided in ripping apart the Republican Party and America for decades.

“The next leader of the Young Republican National Federation must be media-savvy, culturally-sensitive, and constitutionally intact. To be so glib with offering support of a sentiment displayed in a public forum (such as Facebook) that vilely uses hateful and racist language either shows inexcusable lack of insight to the impact of the sentiment or a shared valued system with the implied message therein. Either way, if the Republican Party is going to be built from its youth, its youth cannot be poisoned in any way by the toxicity of America’s troubled racist past. This is particularly so for the YRNF’s next chairman.

“Sadly, it seems as though one of the two major candidates for the highest post within the YRNF has failed this test miserably and publicly, especially as one belonging to a generation that understands the power and speed of new media.

“What is more tragic is that by failing to comprehend our new reality as Americans and as Young Republicans, the connectivity that we all share risks being corrupted as well. For example, Governor Bobby Jindal provided an endorsement for Ms. Shay, but I now question whether this endorsement would have been granted to her knowing that the candidate encourages “… (taking) this country back from all these mad coons…”

“Somehow, I doubt it. Further, I doubt that this sentiment could help to bridge the gaps between the Republican Party and young voters, urban voters, and minority voters.

“Leadership is an ongoing exercise that prepares for opportunities to exhibit its value during key situations. Audra Shay had an opportunity to show what Republicans truly stand for when facing a disgusting and hurtful sentiment. Instead, she merely continued the poor trend of what a minority of Republicans embarrassingly enact. This is not the mark of leadership.

“Rest assured, the Republican Party and its principles of equality, justice, freedom, and strength in unity will triumph. This will occur even as the Party continues to go through a purge due to exposures of hypocrisy of some elected officials and race-based verbal snafus by some party activists.

“Although I have not actively campaigned for a candidate in this race, it is clear that I do not advocate, support, or condone the failure of leadership recently exhibited. It is my ardent belief that the Party of Lincoln will return to its proud history of being avant garde regarding freedom, equality, and prosperity. I personally will not rest until the battle of conscience for what’s just within the Republican Party and throughout America has been won by the side of equality sans bigotry. I believe that there are plenty of Republicans and Americans throughout our nation that share this sentiment with me, one that strongly contrasts the one supported by Ms. Shay, especially as we approach our national birthday.

Another great show for us VH1 fanatics:

The Great Debate

OC vs 90210

John Travolta in Grease vs Saturday Night Fever

Most Hated Reality Personality: Omarosa vs Spencer

Kayne West: Genius or Tool

Worst Attention Whore: Chris Angel vs David Blaine

Worst Toy Craze: Cabbage Patch Kids vs Tickle Me Elmo

Best 80's Teen Queen: Debbie Gibson vs Tiffany

Star Search vs American Idol

90210 - but only until they graduated college. Show jumped the shark after that.

John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever - his solo to "You Should be Dancing" is one of the best movie dance scenes ever.

Omarosa - the gold standard of reality show villains

Kanye West - tool, but I will give him props for calling out GWB after Hurricane Katrina

Worst Attention Whore - I don't know who either of these guys are, so they're not working the corner hard enough (LOL)

Worst Toy Craze: Cabbage Patch Kids - I'm sorry they're just ugly

Best 80's Teen Queen: Debbie Gibson - "Only in my Dreams" was my jam back in the day (LOL)

Star Search - have never seen American Idol

Grease
Genius
David Blaine
Tickle me Elmo

-Grease (only because i've somehow never seen Saturday Night Fever)
-Omorosa (i don't watch that hills crap, but spencer's annoying as hell just from his other attention whoring activities, plus he comes with heidi who sucks beyond belief)
-both (although genius is too strong of a word)
-Chris Angel

Valerie Jarrett Addresses the Islamic Society of North America
Posted by Hammad Hammad

Continuing President Obama’s outreach to Muslims, Senior Advisor to the President Valerie Jarrett spoke at the Islamic Society of North America's 46th Annual Convention. The Convention, themed "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," brought together thousands of Muslim Americans to our nation’s capital over the July 4th weekend.

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) maintains that it is the largest Muslim American organization in the United States. It was founded more than forty years ago and aims to serve as a meeting place for people and ideas, while building bridges of understanding and cooperation.

In her remarks, Jarrett spoke of the importance of President Obama’s Cairo speech, where he emphasized that the United States and Muslim communities share fundamental values, such as justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of human beings.

She quoted the President in emphasizing the many contributions of Muslim Americans to the United States:

Since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic torch.

She continued by emphasizing that:

I will tell you, it is not always easy to identify American "Muslim" business leaders, scientists, artists, athletes, and so on. Not because there aren’t any, but because there are too many, and they are known for their talents and character – not simply their religion. This is a great thing. It is a reflection of the American dream, which is ultimately rooted in these values that we all share – values that are common to all of humanity. And just as we share common values, we also share common dreams – for security, progress, and opportunity.

After acknowledging the diligent work and great contribution of Muslim Americans to American society, Jarrett encouraged Muslim Americans to respond to President Obama’s call to service. She asked that they participate in United We Serve this summer, and utilize www.serve.gov to post service projects and find other opportunities.
