CURRY IRRY - Election went beyond usual mudslinging One of the benefits of this campaign season coming to a close is that we won’t continue to be bombarded with TV commercials drenched in lies and distortion. The closer it got to Tuesday’s election, it seemed, the bolder the lies became. Much has been made of the racially-tinged commercial in which a white actress claims to have met Ic Ford Jr. at a Playboy party. i “Black esis has an overelass that is charged with the responsibility of i the racial - status quo. This Black _ Overclass is wedded to the white power structure and is opposed, therefore, to any independent thoughts or actions which might unite. Black America. The overclass is commissioned by white organizations and governments to keep Black Americans powerless by allying externally with other groups rather than allying internally with members of their own race.” Dr. Claud Anderson, More Dirty Little Secrets. ~ Black leaders, why have you forsaken us? We have always stood beside you, and oftentimes we stood in front of you, willing to die if necessary, to protect and defend you against our enemies, Despite all of the sacrifices we have made on your behalf and all of the support we have provided to your efforts, you have forsaken us, You have abandoned us, You have relinquished your position as authentic leaders and opted for a watered-down, tepid, caricature of Black leadership that continuously succumbs to: a white dominant society. Instead of standing up and speaking “truth to power,” you cower in the face of adversity. Instead of refusing to be bought, you eagerly cut selfish deals that only in status quo, which, for Black people, is a ion for failure. S OPINION FactCheck.org, the Web site that serves as a credible referee for all of the political charges and countercharges, provides us with | 5). other examples of false political Claims in Ford’s unsuccessful Senate race in Tennessee and other . Campaigns. Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker’s campaign teamed up with the National Republican Senate Campaign to produce a TV commercial that proclaimed, “,.-Congressman Ford voted | against reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act, which protects us from terrorists. He voted to cut defense spending by 16 percent. Just who does he think is going to provide our security? And get this, Congressman Ford even voted to let liberal judges release felons from jail because of overcrowding...” FactCheck.org noted, “It’s true, as the ad. says, that Ford voted in favor of an amendment proposed by the Congressional Black Caucus that would have cut defense spending by over 16 Pervent for fiscal 2001, subordination, a “less than” have abdicated your role ag - scumlating wealth for description of our people; ‘you yourself “” why have you turn a youl directing the additional funds to i education ad working class family safety net programs. “What the announcer doesn’t tell us is that Ford cast the vote in 2000, before the attack on the World Trade Center or the beginning of hostilities in Iraq; the date of the — vote does appear in fine print at the - bottom of screen, where you can see it if you squint hard.” The watchdog site stated, “Since 9/ 11, Ford has supported rapid increases in defense spending for the war and national security, ; voting, for example, in favor of the fiscal 2006 defense spending bill as well as the 2003 emergency supplemental funding bill. The ad also doesn’t mention that on the same day he voted for the amendment Corker cites, Ford voted in favor of an amendment _ that would have increased military - spending, though only seven-tenths of a percent, which isn’t enough to keep up with inflation.” The ad correctly notes that Ford CURIOS and your f families, spokesperson and warrior for backs us? Black people by allowing Black intellectuals, why do others to define you; you have you lecture us on the — accepted the label of | “minority,” a tertn connoting deficiency; you even promote diversity and multiculturalism, but outside of rather than within our own race. You advise us that we must help everyone else, but you fail to lead us toward self-reliance. What a tragedy to propose that Black people, whose collective power is virtually nil, should engage in the economic problems we face but seldom, if ever, build institutions or start initiatives that will solve the problems you decry? Surely you have _the intellectual capacity to lead us to higher economic heights, with all of your . degrees and oratory skills. Marcus Garvey did it without degrees, but you hold yourselves up as our intellectual leaders, making high-priced speeches before struggles of other people prior throngs of Black people, and to winning our own battles. Even sadder is the fact that have yet to come even close to what Garvey, Booker T., you, Black leadership, suggest and others did, without the we do not love others because we refuse your call to action. Some of you even use the oxymoronic term, “Black racism” and the canard of “reverse discrimination” to describe those of us who don’t follow your illogical directives, Weare offended by Black politicians who rush to the podium to publicly proclaim “T am not a Black politician; I am a politician who happens to be Black, and I will work for all of the people.” How strange it is that we never "hear any other politicians make such a statement. We are insulted by Black leaders who turn their backs on the very ones that elevated them to their lofty perches, We are disgraced by Black political leaders who have sold out, settled in, and succumbed to a corrupt political system. Why have you forsaken us, Black politicians, after being in office for. decades and trappings of an ivy-leagued education or a professorship. Black religious leaders, why have you gone the way of the moneychangers? Your influence is the strongest among Black people, but you misuse it for your own self- aggrandizement, building edifices that showcase your power to persuade Black people to put up and shut up when it comes to their money. You live royally but keep telling us every Sunday, and two or three times during the week, that “somethin’ is about to happen in this place,” “God is gettin’ ready to bless somebody here tonight,” “It’s your season; the anointing is coming.” Why have you forsaken us in exchange for filthy lucre and political favors? Have you ignored the greatest leader’s words in Matthew 20:27 and 23:11? “,. che that is greatest (or chief) among you shall be your servant” voted against reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act, once on the House committee report and again on the conference report. However, much of the objection to the new legislation was based on concerns over civil liberties. *..-Republican Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire then introduced a separate bill containing civil liberties provisions on which both Democrats and Republicans could agree,” FactCheck.org reported. “Ford voted for the Sununu bill, without which, it seemed-clear at — the time, the PATRIOT Act would not have been renewed.” As for the claim that Ford “voted to” let liberal judges release felons from jail because of overcrowding,” again the ad misstates the facts. The | reference was to a bill introduced by Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) that would have prevented judges from exercising their right to release prisoners in overcrowded state facilities back into society. “Ford, we note, did not vote to allow judges to release felons from jail, ‘Curry... The end of a nasty ele tion 2 rial ” ' 2 Iran, _ af he voted against restricting their existing right to do so,” the group said. The DeLay measure never made it to the Senate floor. Perhaps the most egregious commercial was sponsored by the Republican National Committee and aired against Rep. John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat who had been one of the staunchest supporters of the war in Iraq until recent months. This is what Murtha suid: “Fifty-six percent of the péople in Spain think it’s more dangerous, the United States is more dangerous in Iraq _. than Iran is. Every one of our allies think that the United States being in Iraq is more dangerous to world stability and world peace, every one of our allies, Great Britain, every single country, they think it’s, we’re more dangerous to world peace than North Korea or Iran. That says something.” tthe cE At ade . Say: “We’ re more dangerous to world peace than North Korea or The monitoring group says, “...In ° this case the RNC managesto present Murtha as seeming to say . - nearly the exact opposite of what he actually.said.” The commercial ran on television and appeared on the Republican National Committee’s Web site. ~ FactCheck pointed out, “This is the’ same RNC web ad that attracted . : attention because of an image of © Democratic party chairman Howard’ Dean that appeared to have been altered to give him the faint hint of a Hitler moustache.” This election went beyond the usual mudslinging. It was downright nasty. | George B. Curry is editor-in-chief of the NNPA News Service and - BlackPressUSA.com.

Rangel, who has had a tenuous relationship with the Republican White House, added, “No president can possibly discuss furthering the war if he doesn’t have support from the American people.” As chairman of Ways and Means, Rangel certainly plans to exert his new authority against the White House, beginning with putting Vice President Dick Cheney in his place. “Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor of the House of Representative that historically has been reserved for the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,” said a half- joking Rangel about longtime rival Cheney. Rangel said he was conversing with Speaker of the House-elect Nancy Pelosi on ways to “restore the House of Representative to the dignity we once enjoyed.” DEMOCRATS’ BIG WINNERS: JUSTICE TIMMONS- GOODSON, DEMOCRATS WIN, The Wilmington Journal The first Black woman ever to serve on the state’s Supreme Court has convincingly won her election to the post in a statewide election.

Sinai Hospital in New York City. He was 65 and died of complications from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bradley lived in New York, but also had homes in Woody Creek, Colo. and East Hampton, N.Y. Bradley spent nearly his entire 39-year career with CBS _. News, where he rose to the pinnacle of journalistic achievement, at first on the CBS Evening News and on CBS News documentaries and then on 60 Minutes, where he compiled an extraordinary body of work that featured a keen talent for - the interview and an intense curiosity shown in his investigative work. He was an elegant gentleman who was also known for his impeccable clothing and style, which included a small earring in his left ear that he wore since the late 1980s, and a short, distinctive beard. Bradley was among the first - black journalists to make a name for himself on national television when his battlefield reporting from the Vietnam War — in which he was wounded in 1973 — pushed him onto the national stage. He never forgot his roots, and spent many hours of his © scarce free time talking to . young minority journalists.
