Rev. William Barber calls NC State Amendment One -- 'Trojan Horse'!


Today, North Carolina voters have to make a decision about same sex marriage (SSM). But Rev. William Barber, president of North Carolina NAACP, argues
that the question of SSM is the wrong question to ask. "This is a religious question", he believes. Considering The Constitution of the United States established separation of Church and State, Rev. Barber reminds his followers that the same [political] tricks of the old south are once again at play. He charges that right wing, Tea Party-type, ultra conservative forces "want us to join them". 

"Not on our watch!" 
-Rev. William Barber, Pres. NC - NAACP



"Who would dare attempt to divide and deny others their constitutional rights, whether we agree or not, with same sex marriage?" 

Rev. Barber says "these same forces, the same money, ultra conservative, Tea Party [type] forces" are the same ones that have fought against voting, labor and civil rights, equal justice under the law, and have sponsored radical legislation such as [the] stand-your-ground law (a law that's sure to be challenged in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting).

Tough Liberal, Bob Beckel Drops 'F-Bomb' Live on Fox

Even if you don't watch Fox News (not sure why it's called "news"), you can safely assume that any liberal political pundit(s) that appear on any of their shows, was hired to take punches from the right so they [Fox] can continue claiming their shows' are "fair and balanced". 

Hey you can't knock a pundits hustle, even when it means looking rather soft, right? 

So without bothering to watch Sean Hannity's live show, which would be very understandable considering its far right and overt [political] inclinations, the average voter expects very little push-back from any contributors that represent liberal or democratic causes. 

But wait one minute! 

To the contrary, tough liberal - Bob Beckel has a difference of opinion about so-called liberals getting punk'd on Fox. During a live show, 'Big Bad Beckel' lets Tea Party activist - Jennifer Stefano have it during a debate which continued off-air. 

When the cameras came back on (live), Beckel continued making his point to Stefano and drops the 'F-Bomb' to drive home his point. Obviously upset and emotional about his argument, Beckel didn't realize his comments were broadcast LIVE!


When Hannity asked Beckel if he would apologize for his use of profanity on the air, Beckel, at first, refused then did so with sincerity once he realized Sean Hannity was not joking and that his off-air comments were, in fact, captured live on television. 

Who can blame Bob Beckel for expressing his true feelings in an environment that's so amazingly toxic.
