One last jaunt with Mudkitty over Imus and his nappy-headed ho remark

Mudkitty pisses everyone on the right, and some folks on the left, off. Often, she pisses me off. So why in the hell have I extended an invitation to her to call into Political Pistachio Radio?

In fact, I have received a number of e-mails telling me that continuing to allow her to continue to comment on the site, and inviting her to the show, is suicidal (in consideration to numbers).

Proof?

My daily hits at Political Pistachio are half what they were tail-end of last year since the fiasco with Liberal Tom, and since Mudkitty has started commenting again, they have gone down even further.

So back to the original question. Why have I asked Mudkitty to call into the radio show?

This week we have seen in the news a bombing in Algiers, a bombing at the Iraqi Parliament in the Green Zone, an earthquake in Mexico, and rallies defending the illegal alien invasion. Yet, amidst all of these issues, the top two news stories have been the finally reached unveiling of Anna's baby's dad (of which I have not posted on, and really don't give a crap about) and the remarks made by shock-jock Don Imus. The story regarding Imus is huge in terms of where our nation is headed.

In the black community the opinions regarding this issue follows all ends of the spectrum. On Rush Limbaugh I listened to a black woman call in and agree with me fully. On the far other side of the issue I listened to a New Black Panther party member prove he's a bigger bigot than Imus. On My Point Radio Victory Waters gave a great presentation as to why such statements are hurtful. Whites, however, have been very specific on their position (for the most part), either agreeing with me, or being very upset over the comments as was the young women of the Rutgers Basketball team. Here at Political Pistachio, however, and among the people I know personally, the only character in strong disagreement with me on this issue is Mudkitty.

But why?

I am, honestly, curious if she truly even knows why herself. This is why I invited her to call in. However, and I hope you are reading this, Mudkitty, understand that it is my show, and my finger will hit that mute button on you if you get out of hand.

One of my questions is this: If it is so wrong for Imus to say something that is being claimed as being something that can only be said in the black community, then why is it okay for blacks to say things that are despicable about women in general (like rappers do), or about whites (like some black comedians do)?

And what about Mrs. Pistachio? She's Mexican. She has endured a lifetime of racist language against her. She knows what it is like to hear things racially charged all her life. Yet, she believes that even though Imus was wrong in what he said, the reaction by the black community is over the top.

We are all God's children, created equal, and should be united against enemies of America, rather than dividing because some idiot opened his mouth and said something stupid. It's shocking to me that we even have this kind of double standard where some people can say something and others can't. It's shocking to me that a bunch of people can yell out loud enough and get someone fired for it. It's shocking to me that we give more face time to hypocrites like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson than to folks like Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, Harry R. Jackson and Angela Winters?

How long before America becomes an Orwellian society, and we are chastised for thought crimes?

Tune in Saturday to Political Pistachio Radio 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern to hear what happens in this mess - and call in to join the discussion at (646) 652-2940. I'd love to hear from you - even if Mudkitty pisses you off.
