12/21/14, "The Cost of Race Hustling," American Thinker, James Longstreet
"Stirring emotions and wearing expensive suits before a fawning media with microphones and cameras has its countervailing effects. Burning buildings and lost businesses are terrible material consequential losses. But of late, the deaths, the execution of two police officers sworn to serve and protect fill the loss column.
Race hustling is a violent sport. Fake reverends and loopy mayors should check their doorsteps to see what has been laid there because of their inflammatory conduct. Those held as the highest legal authority in the country should hold in check their acquired biases and tricky tactics such as withholding investigatory testimonies that may bring truth and clarity rather than feed the fire.
Pro athletes should stick to their games, put away the t shirts and quit the self righteous posturing.
We will hear that the executions of the police officers were not about Ferguson or Staten Island. We will be told it is from a larger “problem”. Untrue. We will be told that, all along, the message has been “non violence” from the fomenters. If that was the message, it was whispered into a sleeve.
So, to those who stir emotions before microphones, finesse the facts and testimonies that might change perceptions from myth to truth, next time you slip on your $400 shoes and your $2000 suit and climb into your limo, check your doorstep on the way out of your luxury abode. You may have to step over a couple of bodies today."

And then we had people like John Boehner and George W. Bush coming out and suggesting that an investigation was needed. That infused the Ferguson mob with oxygen and gave them the confidence to launch their next stage of terror."...
=========================
The GOP Establishment figured the only way they could win the 2014 Mississippi primary runoff was to incite racial hatred and it worked.They solicited black democrats to vote in the GOP primary runoff by claiming the conservative candidate--also a Republican--was racist and would try to prevent blacks from voting:
6/30/14, "The Ruling Class Went Down to Mississippi," Angelo M. Codevilla, Liberty Law site
"In the Mississippi primary, Republican establishmentarians from around the country solicited votes from Democrats to defeat the insurgent challenge to Senator Thad Cochran. Their arguments were the same ones used by the bipartisan ruling class that has ruled America for a generation:
The role of government is to generate benefits for its clients, and those who object are bad people.
They paid many Democrat voters (nearly all black) so called “walking around money” for their votes, and have refused in many counties to let McDaniel aides examine the voter roles to see whether these voters were eligible to cast ballots.
The retail corruption is much less remarkable than the acquiescence therein of the establishment’s leadership – such as Karl Rove and The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page. This is very remarkable....
The Journal’s editorial page, whose editorials and featured columnists mobilized opinion against the Mississippi insurgency, had done the same throughout this and previous years’ primaries. Rove’s post election commentary glossed over the vote-buying as if it had not happened, while the Journal’s Jason Riley endorsed it cynically as “minority outreach.”...
In the Mississippi primary, the Republican Establishment’s campaign...employed the classic themes by which the ruling class has beaten down the rest of America....
To the blacks, who, according to The New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight.com provided some forty thousand votes, the message was:
Don’t be intimidated by the Tea Party....Mississippi cannot and will not return to the bygone era of intimidating black Mississippians from voting. We must rise up on Tuesday and have our voices heard on who will represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. VOTE THAD COCHRAN.The Times reported the effect: Roger Smith, a black Democrat who said he was being paid to organize for Mr. Cochran, said, ‘I don’t know too much about [Cochran’s opponent] McDaniel other than what McDaniel is saying:
that he’s Tea Party, he’s against Obama, he don’t like black people.”
In short, those who oppose the way things are done in America are racists.
You ought to hate them as they hate you.
Why do such things? Cui bono? Clearly such behavior by the Republican establishment has nothing to do with the role it claims for itself of opposition to the direction on which America has been taken in recent decades, never mind with anything “conservative.”...
The Mississippi primary confirmed yet again that, if America is to go in a direction other than the one of which some three fourths of American disapprove, it is compelled to do so with a vehicle other than the Republican Party."
