Democrats, such as Obama, can "associate" with racists and bigots like Sharpton and Farrakhan and, with a straight face, denounce Trump's alleged racism and bigotry. And Obama knows that our left-wing media, of which MSNBC host Sharpton is a part, will not call him out.
Hypocrisy, anyone?
Biden might want to skip his meeting with Jacob Blake’s family
The Democrats have a nasty habit of choosing as martyrs some highly unpleasant people. Trayvon Martin was a wannabe gangbanger, Michael Brown was a strong-arm robber who attacked a police officer, George Floyd was an ex-felon with a violent past who died from an overdose of illegal drugs, and there was a warrant out for Jacob Blake because he violated a restraining order imposed following a particular ugly alleged sexual assault.
Now it emerges that Jacob Blake, Sr., the man who raised such a violent son, has some ugly ideas about Jews. This is going to be a problem for Joe Biden who has finally decided to visit Kenosha, the place where Jacob Blake got shot and where Antifa and Black Lives Matter tried to burn an American town to the ground.
While still in his hidey-hole in Wilmington, Biden has already taken sides, and he’s not on the side of law and order. He’s stated that the police officers who shot Blake in what was clearly a reasonable act of self-preservation should be charged. Biden also plans to meet Blake’s family:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will meet Thursday with the family of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, two days after President Donald Trump visited the city engulfed by protests.
Right before Biden heads off, the Reagan Battalion unearthed evidence from Jacob Blake, Sr.’s Facebook feed showing that he really doesn’t like Jews, something that may follow from his supporting Louis Farrakhan:

He’s a vicious antisemite.
If the investigation finds that his son’s shooting was unjustified those responsible should be held accountable, but there is no excuse for Biden to meet with a Jew hater. pic.twitter.com/5aoRZuftqc
Here are screengrabs from Blake Sr.’s publicly viewable timeline. These are statements and posters we associate with people who are anti-Semitic. Every last one shows a man who is obsessed with and feels ill-used by Jews. They also bear no relationship to reality. After all, no rational person claims that Hitler is a Jew who killed Europeans. Blake Sr. is someone who has drunk too deep from the well of Louis Farrakhan's open and unembarrassed anti-Semitism:
Trump, it turns out wisely, forbore to meet with the Blake family. Either Trump’s research team is better than Biden’s, or his instincts are better, or his values are better – because they certainly can’t be worse than Biden’s and the rest of his buddies on the left.
As for Joe, he’s placed himself in a bind. Between now and the planned meeting with Jacob Blake Sr., he’s going to have to decide whether he wants to offend potential black voters or potential Jewish voters.
Barack Obama and His Race Card
Democrat racism, bigotry and lies.
Mon Aug 17, 2020
Former
President Barack Obama once again pulled out the race card for political gain,
consequences be damned.
This
time at the funeral of civil rights icon John Lewis, Obama compared President
Donald Trump to not one but two racial segregationists, former Birmingham,
Alabama, Commissioner of Public Safety Bull Connor and former Alabama Gov.
George Wallace. The inconvenient truth that Connor and Wallace were Democrats
is, apparently, of no relevance to Obama, his fellow Democrats or most of the
media.
About
Connor, Obama said, "Bull Connor may be gone, but today we witness, with
our own eyes, police officers kneeling on the necks of Black Americans."
The longtime former Bronx Rep. Charles Rangel, whose district included Harlem,
also employed the Republicans-are-like-Bull Connor meme. Rangel, though, used
it on then-President George W. Bush, who also spoke at Lewis' funeral. In 2005,
Rangel criticized Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina by saying, "George
Bush is our Bull Connor."
For
those who have forgotten or never knew, Connor is the segregationist Alabama
lawman who, in the '60s, turned water hoses and sicced dogs on civil rights
protesters. "You can never whip these birds if you don't keep you and them
separate," Connor said in 1963. "I found that out in Birmingham. You've
got to keep your white and the Black separate."
Yes,
Obama just compared Trump to that man. Never mind that Trump signed the First
Step Act that, so far, has allowed more than 3,000 inmates convicted for crack
cocaine — mostly Black men — to have their sentences reconsidered and over
2,000 released. Never mind that Trump posthumously pardoned Jack Johnson, the
first Black heavyweight champion, who was the victim of a racially motivated
prosecution.
About
Wallace, Obama said, "George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our
federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful
demonstrators." In 1963, Wallace defied federal officers by literally
standing in front of the door of the University of Alabama in a failed attempt
to prevent the university from integrating. That same year, in his
gubernatorial inaugural speech, Wallace said, "In the name of the greatest
people that have ever trod this earth, I draw a line in the dust and toss the
gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say, segregation now, segregation
tomorrow and segregation forever."
Yes,
Obama just compared Trump to Wallace, the governor who tried to stop Blacks from
getting an education at a public school that Blacks qualify to attend. Never
mind that Trump is a proponent of school choice, allowing Black students, K-12,
to take their public school dollars to whatever school they qualify for as an alternative
to poor urban public schools.
Since
Obama compared Trump to two dead racist Democrat segregationists of the 1960s,
it is only fair to ask about Obama's relationship with two living racist
anti-Semites.
During
his first six years, Obama invited the anti-Semitic, race-hustling, Tawana
Brawley-lying Rev. Al Sharpton to the White House 72 times by December 2014.
(Any visits after that time are not available on public record.) This would be
the same Sharpton who, in 1991, fueled a rage in Brooklyn's Crown Heights,
which experienced several days of violent protests in which Jews were attacked
by Blacks. A few days earlier, Sharpton was recorded on tape bellowing,
"If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and
come over to my house."
As
to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a smiling Sen. Obama, in 2005, took
a photograph with America's most notorious anti-Semite — and segregationist.
("What the Muslims Want" No. 10 on the Nation of Islam official
website reads: "We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be
prohibited.") Photographer Askia Muhammad admitted that he did not show
the photo to the public until 2018, after Obama
left office. Asked whether the photo would have made a difference in Obama's
2008 presidential race, Muhammad said: "I insist. It absolutely would have
made a difference."
If
in doubt about whether the Obama-Farrakhan picture would have mattered,
consider what Democratic lawyer Alan Dershowitz said after seeing the photo:
"Louis Farrakhan is a virulent anti-Semite. He's called Judaism a 'gutter
religion.' He's anti-American. He is a horrible, horrible human being.
"And
if I had known that the President had posed smilingly with (Farrakhan) when he
was a senator, I would not have campaigned for Barack Obama. It would have
influenced my decision. Look, I threatened to leave the Democratic Party if
Keith Ellison were elected as chairman because of his association with
Farrakhan. You don't associate with a bigot. You don't associate with an
anti-Semite."
Democrats,
such as Obama, can "associate" with racists and bigots like Sharpton
and Farrakhan and, with a straight face, denounce Trump's alleged racism and
bigotry. And Obama knows that our left-wing media, of which MSNBC host Sharpton
is a part, will not call him out.
Hypocrisy,
anyone?

Jacob Blake Sr. Has Long History of Racist, Antisemitic, Anti-Christian Posts; Set to Meet Joe Biden
Note from management: The fact that Jacob Blake’s father appears to have a long history of bigoted social media posts has no bearing on questions surrounding his son’s shooting by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Nevertheless, since former Vice President Joe Biden has decided to meet with him on Thursday during a visit to the town, his extremist views are newsworthy.
Jacob Blake Sr., the father of the man shot Aug. 23 by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, appears to have a long history of racist, antisemitic, and anti-Christian posts on Facebook. He is set to meet with Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday.
Blake Sr. has been a ubiquitous presence on television and at Black Lives Matter protests since his son, Jacob Blake Jr., 29, was shot seven times while allegedly resisting arrest. The younger Blake is currently hospitalized, paralyzed from the waist down. Riots erupted in Kenosha in the aftermath of the event, destroying many businesses and leading to a deadly shooting.
Blake Sr.’s social media posts, particularly on Facebook, reveal radical political views and extreme racist rhetoric. On Instagram, where Blake Sr. appears to have had a much more limited presence, he posted a video about the Sep. 11, 2001 terror attacks: “Man, I give a fuck about 9/11.” He went on to cite the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by police in Cleveland in 2014.
On August 23, a post appeared on the Facebook page of Jacob Blake Sr.: “My son is alive and stable.”
A search through the other posts on that Facebook account reveals a timeline replete with bigoted statements, such as:
– “A jew can’t tell me shit period”
– “The same pink toe Jewish people that control the interest rate control the media the control Minds and money”
– “The Jewish media picks and chooses who is a terrorists and is not”
– “A cracker jew can do whatever to a white woman for years but let a jig try it”
In one post, Blake Sr. speculates that Jews at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh were warned in advance about the mass shooting there in October 2018.

Eleven were murdered in the attack, the largest mass murder of Jews in U.S. history.
One post refers to attendees at the Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House as “Young black coons”:
Other posts frequently use racist terms against white people, such as “crackers” and others. There are also posts promoting Louis Farrakhan, the racist, antisemitic leader of the Nation of Islam, and denigrating Christianity as a way to fool black people.
In one post Blake Sr. shared, a photo of a white Jesus is shown in a toilet.
Blake Sr. also posted about Biden’s running mate: “Kamala Harris may have you Goofy’s fooled not me.”
Blake has spoken at protests in Kenosha and at a commemoration of the March on Washington last week in the nation’s capital.

The Blake family has an otherwise distinguished civil rights history.
According to the Charlotte Post: “Blake’s grandfather, the Rev. Jacob Blake Sr., was the pastor of Ebenzer African Methodist Episcopal Church and is credited with leading a fair housing march in Evanston [Illinios] in 1968.” Blake Sr.’s Facebook profile indicates that he went to school in Evanston.
