To the families of the Jena 6, seriously, go sit down somewhere. Get your kids off red carpets and awards show stages, keep them out of after parties sponsored by liquor companies, make them take down, MySpace, YourSpace, TheySpace, pages, stop going on the radio. Just keep your head low until your children are completely out of legal peril because quite frankly, you are not helping your case. YOUR FAMILIES are not HEROES. But for the idiot hapless DA in your tiny Louisiana backwater, nobody would know your names. the only thing you did was raise some kids who thought 6 on 1 was a fair fight. Seriously, you and your families have done nothing to be proud of or famous for. Go. Sit. Down. and PRAY for the liberty of your children.

Michael Baisden MUST invite Color of Change onto his show.

* He MUST apologize like the man he “purports” to be.
* He needs to drag Michael Bell’s daddy on the show to apologize as well
* AND He needs to do all this with the same BOLDNESS he used to savage Color of Change in the first place.

If he doesn’t, then the Black blogosphere needs to be prepared to ask each and every ABC radio affiliate to preempt Baisden’s show to run a response from Color of Change. I mean flood the station managers’ phones from coast to coast. Baisden ain’t THAT big. If they won’t, then the Black blogosphere needs to launch a nation campaign to DEFUND HIS SHOW. I mean “Greasy Jerry’s Check Cashing Chicken N’ Waffles” ought to be scared to purchase space on Baisden’s show.

I’m sure he know exactly who Color of Change is.

The man works for the same company the employs Melanie Morgan, Sean Hannity, and just about the entire right-wing radio machine. This attack on Color of Change was designed to provoke a response, and to generate controversy. This is nothing about telling the truth, or demanding accountability. This is solely about stirring shit up.

Baisden sees a way to turn a buck, is all I can think.
I so miss Steve Gilliard’s voice in writing about stuff like this.

This guy does a pretty successful radio show for ABC radio, and he has a show on the TV One cable outlet. I think this is more about his ego than it is about money (although he still should be asked to account for the funds he raised). In any case, he did a very foolish thing in slandering Color of Change. He obviously didn’t know how respected they are.

If you read the article, you’ll see it notes the Chinese subs were running on electric engines. This is hardly high-tech stuff; the US and USSR had equivalently quiet electric boats 20 years ago. Yeah, the Chinese are catching up, but this is hardly proof that they’ve achieved anything like parity.

But that’s not the point, is it. The point is that the Chinese sub, using this fairly old-school technology, was able to penetrate an American flotilla. The point isn’t that the US and Russia would be unable to penetrate a Chinese naval flotilla. BOTH sides can do so (and apparently so can the Iranians).

The uninvited guest: Chinese sub pops up in middle of U.S. Navy exercise, leaving military chiefs red-faced
….The lone Chinese vessel slipped past at least a dozen other American warships which were supposed to protect the carrier from hostile aircraft or submarines.
And the rest of the costly defensive screen, which usually includes at least two U.S. submarines, was also apparently unable to detect it.
According to the Nato source, the encounter has forced a serious re-think of American and Nato naval strategy as commanders reconsider the level of threat from potentially hostile Chinese submarines.
It also led to tense diplomatic exchanges, with shaken American diplomats demanding to know why the submarine was “shadowing” the U.S. fleet while Beijing pleaded ignorance and dismissed the affair as coincidence.
Analysts believe Beijing was sending a message to America and the West demonstrating its rapidly-growing military capability to threaten foreign powers which try to interfere in its “backyard”.

Well, where did everyone think those american dollars for “made in China” were going? Hell, Pres. Clinton handed over the keys of American Industry in signing the China Trade Agreement. And Georgie Boy told them to turn off OUR lights when they were done emptying the country.
BTW, China is the 2nd largest holder of US Debt.

Also makes one wonder if this cloaking technology has been passed on to Iran for use in their Nahang (”whale”) and mini-class submarines. Both of these are more designed for stealth rather than speed…and for territorial defense rather than attack. They can sit or move slowly in areas where enemy fleets might penetrate and then serve as “weapons platforms” to attack from below…the most vulnerable spot for many surface ships.

That’s without making any judgment about who is right or wrong here, just makin the observation.
