MSNBC's Toure: CNN's Don Lemon a 'White Leader' Don Lemon is a liberal news guy, even a liberal GAY news guy. But he's departed from liberal orthodoxy on a few issues, so here comes Race Guardian Toure to brand him for straying from the plantation. He says Lemon is now a "white leader." by John Nolte 9 Dec 2013, 7:17 AM PDT 24 post a comment MSNBC is not having a good month. Two of their anchors -- Alec Baldwin and Martin Bashir -- have already been fired for offensive name-calling. Sunday, a third MSNBC anchor, Toure, launched an outrageous racialist attack against CNN's Don Lemon. Back in July, Lemon, a black left-winger, somewhat agreed with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that a big problem in many poor black communities is cultural, not economic. Lemon suggested that, among other things, young black men should "pull up your pants."Still fuming over it almost five months later, Toure lashed out at Lemon Sunday as a "white leader": -- [iframe width="500" height="211" title="Embedded Tweet" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" id="twitter-widget-0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(238, 238, 238) rgb(221, 221, 221) rgb(187, 187, 187); margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-radius: 5px; display: block; visibility: visible; position: static; min-width: 220px; max-width: 99%; box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);" allowtransparency="true"][/iframe]-- [iframe width="500" height="211" title="Embedded Tweet" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" id="twitter-widget-1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(238, 238, 238) rgb(221, 221, 221) rgb(187, 187, 187); margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-radius: 5px; display: block; visibility: visible; position: static; min-width: 220px; max-width: 99%; box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);" allowtransparency="true"][/iframe]-- [iframe width="500" height="290" title="Embedded Tweet" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" id="twitter-widget-2" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(238, 238, 238) rgb(221, 221, 221) rgb(187, 187, 187); margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-radius: 5px; display: block; visibility: visible; position: static; min-width: 220px; max-width: 99%; box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);" allowtransparency="true"][/iframe]-- Apparently, Toure believes that black Americans should keep wearing baggy pants until the culture conforms to them. In pursuit of a worthy and moral goal -- in this case, the right to wear baggy pants -- young black men might lose all kinds of job opportunities, but the cost is well worth an America where someday black and whites alike will be allowed to publicly expose their underwear without fear of being discriminated against. Of course Don Lemon is correct. But even if he was wrong, the bullying and name-calling the left engages in to question the "blackness" of any black man or woman who dares break from The Left-wing Collective, is unconscionable. Because he disagrees with Lemon, Toure isn't content to explain his own point of view. Instead, he attacks Lemon on racial grounds by questioning the CNN anchor's intentions and identity. The vitriol and rhetoric spewing from MSNBC anchors does not show any signs of slowing. breitbart.com

Who Is Josh Ackley and What Is He Doing with the Girl Scouts? by Austin Ruse 8 Dec 2013 1302 post a comment If you are a national reporter writing on the Girl Scouts and you call their national office in New York City, you will talk to a guy named Josh Ackley.If you are a Girl Scout wanting regular advice or information on the Girl Scouts and you turn to the Girl Scout blog, it’s Josh Ackley (pictured, center) you’ll be reading. If you are a Girl Scout mom concerned about the sometimes-troubling drift of the Girl Scouts in recent years, Josh Ackley may be the one you’ll meet with. To many key groups, Josh Ackley is the public face of one of the historically preeminent institutions for little girls. He has been with the Girl Scouts in external communications since 2008, became a prominent blogger for the organization in 2009, and since their public relations chief Michelle Tompkins recently left in a flood of headquarter staff exits, seems to be the Girl Scouts' main and only spokesman. So, who is Josh Ackley? The press, moms, and the girls may know Josh Ackley in his day job but probably don’t know what he does off-hours. He is the lead singer of a band called The Dead Betties. The Dead Betties were part of a movement called “homo-punk,” sometimes “homocore,” that Wikipedia describes as “an offshoot of punk… distinguished by its discontent with society in general, and specifically society's disapproval of the gay, bi-sexual, lesbian and transgender communities.” The Dead Betties are profiled in the book Homocore: The Loud and Raucous Rise of Queer Rock. Girl Scout moms and girls will know none of this. They will also not know that The Dead Betties put out a campy video that received MTV play in the mid-00s called "Hellevator," where a sneering Ackley watches over a woman being stalked and then strangled on an elevator in an abandoned building. A Dead Bettie video called "George’s Mr.s Right" (sic) shows a naked man—perhaps Ackley, though the subject's faced is obscured—covered in newspapers, writhing on the ground, touching his genitals, feigning masturbation, intercut with brief footage of a scantily-clad woman. Later, the man is in the shower washing blood off his legs with dollar bills. We don't see the woman again. Josh Ackley joined the Girl Scouts in 2008 in the office of external communications in the Girl Scout headquarters in New York City. In that capacity, he speaks to the national media. Go to the Girl Scout media page and the only person you are directed to is Josh Ackley. Ackley is quoted in numerous national stories about the Girl Scouts. A year after he started with the Girl Scouts, he became the primary blogger on the Girl Scout website. The blog is written specifically for the girls to get advice and keep up on Girl Scout news. And then there is Josh Ackley, sent out to quell the anger of concerned moms. Controversy erupted in 2011 over a girls-only panel hosted by the Girl Scouts at the UN Commission on the Status of Women where one mom claims to have found a stack of Planned Parenthood brochures in the room when the panel ended. The Girl Scouts have steadfastly denied knowing the brochures were there, but the ensuing controversy further fueled what has become a cottage industry of moms angry at what they see as the troublesome drift of the Girl Scouts. The controversy has also contributed to the declining fortunes of the Girl Scouts, who have lost substantial numbers of members and cookie sales in recent years. When a group of St. Louis mothers, concerned about the UN panel, demanded a meeting, along with his now-departed boss Michelle Tompkins, it was Ackley who was sent by the Girl Scouts to quell the uprising. Do the Girl Scouts know about Josh Ackley’s after-hours activities? If they don’t, they soon will. Disbanded years ago, Josh has gotten the band back together. The Betties have recorded most of a new album and have made their re-debut November 30 at New York City's Cake Shop.
