right on, sh is one of the MANY of the Democratic party thta has taken us for granted for years. NAACP has been irrelivant to blacks for years and sold out long ago. THEY EVEN NEED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION. She is an idiot that obviously doesn't get out much.
She is throwing you a NACCP bone so you will let her have her way. She thinks your going a long with her because she likes the NACCP order. Get Race games out of energy meeting and just discuss energy. Bring in people who are in the business of oil and get to the bottom of it. Ask them do you want us to fight you or work with us to get the price of Energy down. We are ready to talk !
"Boxer" showing her true colors. A modern "slave master". Holding black folks fully in contempt, and using them soley to further her aims (at their expense). Alford saw this charade exactly for what it is... and, in manly fashion, called this Elitist Bitch to task for it. For all to see. Beautiful, wonderful. More power to him, and to any black folks that see through the left's lies. Racism... by and large manufactured and maintained by the disgusting left. (from a conservative white guy)
super...ROFLMAO...yes it is conservative porn, as was the first video's that started rolling in from Spectors town hall meetings. Speaking of 'conservative porn', did you happen to see Beck this week when he was interviewing Rush by phone ?!!!! OMG. It was just the absolute best. As for you lefties, you can go let Maher and Olberman and Stewart tea bag ya....gimme Beck and Limbaugh anyday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE GLOBAL WARMING CRAP IS A BIG SCAM BY THE FASCIST PIECE OF SHIT COWARDLY LEFT WING LIBERALS. .FUCK OFF AND BLOW YOURSELF UP YOU FUCKING LIBERALS. YOU'RE SICK IN THE HEAD. STOP FORCING YOUR FUCKING VIEWS ON EVERYONE ELSE. global cooling and warming happens ever thousands of years in any solar system you DUMBFUCKS. you just want to control HOW PEOPLE LIVE YOU BRAINLESS DEMOCRAT LEFT WING LIBERAL SHIT. IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO, BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR YOUR LIES. SOME OF US ARE NEITHER DUMBSHITS
shut up u know shit. Its sad you're so passionate about hating on Libs. because you were probably indoctrinated by your parents. What is also funny is that you try to sound DEEP like you know something about the solar system but you're going crazy over something that is completely fabricated and controlled by the powers that be ( the 2 party system) LOL you know shit
What a stooge for the Republican view this guy is! What's obvious is that he was brought in by the Rep's because he is black, and was asked to make Boxer look bad due to them knowing that she was going to discuss the rec's of the NAACP. Read the linked story: his org. was paid hundreds of thousands of $ by Exxon/Mobile. What's racist here is Rep's thinking that they can sway people's viewpoints on global warming initiatives by using people like Alford, and diverting attention to a non-topic!
What the hell do the clowns of that useless organization, the NAACP know about anything?
Man made global warming. What a ****ing farce.
Boxer is your typical White Liberal. Just like a lib, she plays up to minorities as if she cares so much about them, and probably calls them niggers when their out of earshot.
Isn't the point though that she is citing works or accolades and agreements from other Black organizations as a way to show the Black CEO that hey look all of your people are going in this direction and you should be proud to be part of these groups , he in turn is saying WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY PEOPLE, so point in fact, he is trying to take race and political affiliation out of the issue and state facts that show an unbiased study presenting a problem and a solution.
So if i come into your house and claim that I speak for the black community and you disagree because others have different opinions, does that give ME the right to call you a racist, on that alone?
Be sure and get right back to us when that Senator you're so proud of (and her fellow travelers) "stop making race into a political issue", as you say. Take that away, along with class envy, and there won't be a Democrat party.
If Boxer had her way, an oil company would not have the right to defend itself (i.e., funding research that may disagree with AGW dogma and public financing of said dogma). Oops, forgot--guess it's ACC now. My bad.
Alford doesn't say that he speaks for the African American community, he speaks for the National Black Chamber of Commerce, that would be black business owners, not the black populous.
wow this is out of control. I bet if Michael Steele called Obama racist some of you would actually back Steele up. CONTEXT, PEOPLE. The NAACP SUPPORTS this environmental initiative. This guy Afford and his group oppose it. Both groups have a differing view. Guess which group is funded by Exxon-Mobil and decides to pull the race card as his excuse? Quit knee-jerk reactions when one guys yells "racial" and PLEASE actually read the entire article that this video is about.
Go on then, burn coal and fuel the future with blackened skies. All I'm saying is that this guy doesn't represent all the views of any large contiguous population. Do you think Michael Steele represents the interests of the majority of African Americans?
Boxer was being arrogant and condescending. I understand Alford having taken offense because Boxer was placing statements in the record by groups onboard with her agenda just because they are black. When the hell are people in CA going to wake up and get rid of the political clowns who've been ruining CA and this country?
National Black Chamber of Commerce isn't a government affiliated organization, it's a nonprofit organization started by Mr. Alford himself. He's also a member of the official Chamber of Commerce.
Good call. Libs want to keep this country divided for there own personal agendas.
"We should not think in terms of whites, blacks, hispanics, and other such groups. That kind of thinking only divides us. The only us-versus-them thinking in which we might indulge is the people- ALL the people- versus the government, which loots and lies to us all, threatens our liberties, and shreds our Constitution."
You're right. NBCC isn't a govt org. it's a private group representing businesses that receives funds and support from other businesses to promote their interests in pending legislation... there's a word for that: lobbyists.
Seriously, we need to stop making race into a political issue. I mean seriously the "BLACK U.S Chamber of Commerce", why not just keep the CoC and not make it so racially divided? Should we have a White Chamber of Commerce too? Seriously people like that guy and Al Sharpton will do anything to get attention and to cry fake racism. They will make any issue that isn't racist, into one. You people are just as bad as the racists themselves! I'm proud of my Senator for standing up to the reich-wing.
According to Think Progress: Alford, whose organization has received at least $275,000 from ExxonMobil, spoke on behalf of the black community in his opening statement. As Boxer noted, it seems relevant that other organizations with a deep understanding of the black community, such as NAACP and 100 Black Men of Atlanta see the threat of global warming and the opportunity in a clean energy future.
"spoke on behalf of the black community in his opening statement"
And this is the point the Republicans are missing, even though it's right there in the video. He spoke on behalf of African-Americans, but other prominent African-American organisations disagree with him. He is misrepresenting a not-insignificant part of the community, and Boxer was correcting the record.
Throw Barbara the Boxer (and she's not a pugilist) out on her Liberal Elitist Carpetbagging Christ-Killing ass. Almost none of her family originates from California, she's an invader.
That's the thing with liberal Jews, they feel like they have free reign over racial issues because they promote globalization fiercely. I would venture to say that this is very telling of the racist liberal mind who tear down any minority who dissents.
What does the NAACP have to do with climate change legislation. Might as well get the opinion of the Black writers guild.
Bad news for liberals is that their agenda (from health care, to cap and trade) is now going down the drain with Obama's political clout and poll numbers.
What does a Democrat do when they are faced with a Black man giving testimony that contradicts their position? When your name is Barbara Boxer and you are obsessed with racial identity politics, you start quoting other Blacks who disagree. Reason? She says it's because she wants to illustrate that there is "diverisity of opinion" in the black community.
Gee, thanks Babs. I didn't know that. I thought that there was a single brain somewhere that all blacks plug into to get their opinions.
So a black CEO says he speaks for the black community then has a quote from the NAACP proving otherwise thrown back in his face to which he cries racism.
Why did he mention that he was a veteran? What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Silly Liberal, you wouldn't understand this whole debate. He's the head of a chamber of commerce. He was talking about how it will impact business. She retorts with statements about other black people.
Now, the veteran part: he fought for this country. It's better than fighting against it and I believe that is what he is stating here.
I hope a boost of common sense helps you lefties out here...the hypocrisy of your side is truly amazing.
Typical, so YOU admit you have no idea what is going on here, and want ME to do the work of telling YOU what you missed... you shouldn't even have been commenting on it when you obviously have no idea even the context of the situation? Wow...
This guy and his organization were INVITED to testify by Babs and the rest of the brood. He didn't just show up. Like most lefties who are obsessed with racial identity politics, she felt she had to contradict him by simply quoting other blacks? How condescending can you get?
..."uninformed Lefty..." is self depecratory, which, though admirable and sometimes an enhancement in attempting communication, is in this case merely redundant.
Why is Boxer making this racial??? The hearing is about energy policy. She should try to taking pointers from a good Democratic senator like Diane Fienstein, at least she's intellectually honest and a decent human being.
Sorry, friend, but that's a weak argument. If someone from the NAACP was testifying, and a Republican cited opposing views only from other black people, then they'd be screaming bloody murder all over the place.
I agree, this incident is petty when considering the big picture, but it just goes to show you that liberals can't take even a drop of their own medicine.
That doesn't even make sense. He's the CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce. Do you think he was there representing the Asian community's views on the legislation?
No, he was representing his own views. If Barbara Boxer's opponents ever debated her and cited only Jewish examples, she'd be (rightfully) offended as well.
You libs are just so full of hate for people who disagree with you that you can't even see the obvious.
I'll stick up for Boxer here, even though I don't like her. Alford is testifying specifically on behalf of black people and their business interests. That's his job. He's not there as a general expert on energy. He is opposing legislation on behalf of blacks. So, Boxer countering with testimony with support from another group that represents blacks is relevant and not racist.
He's not an expert on energy, but he is an expert on business, which is why he is there. He's also not there to speak for the black people, but for black business owners, and this energy legislation will levy higher costs of opperation on black and all business owners.
But the fact that he's there speaking for "black" business owners and not 'all' business owners is racist, in and of itself.
That fugly nigger thinks he's some important figure. this is funny. When you have a great western country turning to a shit country.
