Saturday Open Thread: Bikers For Obama

White man going around shooting Black folks in Tulsa.

Tulsa Police Identify Victims In ‘Unprecedented’ Shooting Spree

TULSA, Oklahoma -

Police call it unprecedented in Tulsa. They say it appears someone drove around North Tulsa Thursday night, randomly shooting people who were walking or in their yards.

Three were killed, and two survived.

When you hear homicide detectives shaking their heads and saying, “This is bad,” you know something out of the ordinary has happened.

All these shootings took place within seven hours, and the victims range in age from 31 to 54. There’s nothing that makes police believe this is gang related.

Police say they are looking for a white man seen driving an older white truck in the area of the shootings.

Obama campaign pushes Romney on Wisconsin overturn of equal-pay law
By Justin Sink – 04/06/12 02:37 PM ET

After a week in which Democrats and the Obama campaign have argued that Republicans are waging a “war on women” in an effort to solidify their base of female voters in the coming election, the president’s campaign team is seizing Friday on news that controversial Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) quietly overturned his state’s equal-pay law.

Obama’s campaign team said Friday that Walker’s move was evidence Republicans are willing to “undermine not only women’s health care, but also their economic security,” and demanded that presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney comment on Walker’s move.

“Mitt Romney has repeatedly dismissed the effect of Republican efforts to rollback access to contraception and other health care services on the women’s vote, saying that he would appeal to women by talking about their economic concerns. If this is the case does Romney think women should have ability to take their bosses to court to get the same pay as their male coworkers? Or does he stand with Governor Walker against this?” said Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith in a statement.

Smith noted that Romney “repeatedly praised Governor Scott Walker’s leadership, calling him a ‘hero’ and ‘a man of courage’ ” while campaigning in Wisconsin. Walker faces a recall election this summer after his move to prohibit public-sector employees from forming unions drew ire from many in the state.

While Democrats are encouraged about the headway that they’ve made with female voters —Obama leads Romney with women by 18 percent in swing states, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll released this week — they believe that opening up their case beyond the sole issue of contraception is crucial to make the topic a sticking point in the campaign.

On Thursday, the DNC seized on a caterpillar analogy Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus made when defending Republicans and trying to make the point that the GOP was not waging a “war on women.” Later in the day, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president believed women should be admitted to Augusta National Golf Club, where the Masters golf tournament is under way. Democrats likely wanted to see if one of the president’s political opponents would oppose opening up the club to female membership.

TARP master freezes pay for 3 CEOs

WASHINGTON, April 7 (UPI) — Chief executives at three corporations that still owe bailout money will be denied raises for a second year, the U.S. Treasury Department said Friday.

Patricia Geoghegan, the special master for the Troubled Assets Relief Program or TARP, made the decision, CNN reported.

The CEOs of General Motors Co., AIG, and Ally Financial are to receive the same compensation they did in 2011 with most of their pay tied to stock performance.

‘U.S. aid to Israel no longer sacred’
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has warned his government needs higher taxes to help pay for anti-missile defense.

Published: April 2, 2012 at 3:13 PM

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 2 (UPI) — Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has warned Israelis his government needs higher taxes to help pay for anti-missile defense, though he’s no doubt counting on U.S. military aid to help him out.

But as the United States has to tighten its own belt and cut defense spending by up to $600 billion, Globes business daily commentator Ran Dagoni cautioned: “U.S. aid to Israel is longer sacred.

“U.S military aid to Israel is no longer a fixed point in relations between the two countries.

“The threat to American aid to Israel (and in fact to every other foreign aid plan) is, of course, a result of the budget noose around Washington’s neck.”

There’s no sign yet of major cutbacks in U.S. aid, which includes $3 billion a year in military assistance that’s vital to Israel’s military as it faces the threat of massive missile and rocket bombardment from Iran, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

But the whole issue of U.S. aid to Israel is gathering steam, for political as well as economic reasons, and is being debated within the United States to a degree not seen for many years.

Walter Pincus of The Washington Post kicked it off Oct. 18 by urging, as Americans have to tighten their belts, a re-evaluation of U.S. assistance to the Jewish state after Netanyahu ordered hefty cuts in Israel’s defense spending.

“If Israel can reduce its defense spending because of its domestic economic problems, shouldn’t the United States — which must cut military costs because of its major budget deficit — consider reducing its aid to Israel?” he asked.

– - -Mitt Romney Breaks Another Law By Hiding $10,000 Donation to Hate Group – — -

– - – - -A person who is inclined to conceal their true feelings and intentions, or not to disclose requested information is considered secretive and it is well within reason to distrust such a person if they are seeking a political office. The only reason a politician would conceal information from voters is to obscure questionable business practices associated with their political office or to conceal damaging financial information that may show unlawful or dubious activities to avoid paying taxes or circumvent regulations. It is important for presidential candidates to disclose prior years’ tax returns so voters can judge whether or not the candidate is trustworthy or if there are potential conflicts of interest that may influence their decision-making process. There are federal disclosure requirements for presidential candidates, but Willard Romney claims he is exempt from reporting all the details of his business investments made through Bain Capital because of confidentiality agreements with Bain. It becomes obvious then, that Romney is attempting to hide something from the American people.

– - -On Friday, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released previously undisclosed IRS documents that revealed a donation from a Romney PAC in Alabama to NOM that may be a violation of California disclosure laws because it was made with express goal of influencing a California election and did not show up on Romney’s PAC filings with the Federal Election Commission. Romney’s PAC, “Free and Strong America” and NOM did not disclose the donation in California which was required because it was made in the final weeks of the contentious Prop 8 campaign. It is a shady practice, but establishing a PAC in a state with less stringent disclosure laws like Alabama is a frequent practice to conceal and protect donors from unwanted publicity such as donating $10,000 to a hate group intent on pushing discriminatory laws like California’s Prop 8 which has been struck down time and again in the 9th Circuit Court.

– — COP ID;d And SUED in 2008 RACISM Case – –

– - –<i>In a broadcast exclusive, we reveal the name of the police officer who allegedly killed 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain, the retired African-American Marine who was shot dead in his own home in White Plains, New York, in November after he inadvertently triggered his medical alert pendant. Documented in audio recordings, the White Plains police reportedly used a racial slur, burst through Chamberlain’s door, tasered him, then shot him dead. “The last time I actually really saw my father, other than the funeral, was at the hospital, with his eyes wide open, his tongue hanging out his mouth, and two bullet holes in his chest,” said Kenneth Chamberlain, Jr. “And I’m staring at my father, wondering, ‘What happened?’”

THIS – - – ->The alleged shooter, Officer Anthony Carelli, is due in court later this month in an unrelated 2008 police brutality case. He is accused of being the most brutal of a group of officers who allegedly beat two arrestees of Jordanian descent and called them “rag heads.” We speak to Gus Dimopoulos, attorney for Jerry and Sal Hatter. “We allege that the police officers, while in the custody of the White Plains Police Department back at the station, you know, severely beat Jerry while being restrained by handcuffs. They hit him in the face with a nightstick, they kicked, they punched, they punched him, and then essentially charged him with a crime,” Dimopoulos said.

My thoughts on the whole Obama Supreme Court situation. While the Supreme Court has help with minorities getting their rights, the Supreme court is not infallible. The Dredd Scott decision made the fugitive slave act applicable to even the co called free states. Also, while it was overturned Plessy versus Ferguson codified segregation.
