“Whoopi & Joy Walk Out On Bill O’Reilly”

The ReadyWriter

The conversation got heated on the View this morning, as the women were in a discussion with Bill O’Reilly concerning the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.

Clearly Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are stark supporters of President Obama because the minute O’Reilly said: “President Obama’s qualified support of the center was evidence of the “gulf” between him and the American people” well those were fighten words as the women strongly disagreed with O’Reilly’s claim.

Don’t get me wrong, the President had every right to voice his opinion regarding the controversy surrounding this mosque near ground zero, as Behar shot back “This is America!” and there is a such thing as freedom of speech.

“Listen to me because you’ll learn!” O’Reilly interrupted with his arrogant ass.

“We’re Americans! We agree with him!” Behar added.

“70% of Americans don’t want that mosque there. So don’t give me the we business!” O’Reilly replied.

More heated crosstalk followed, until O’Reilly said, “Muslims killed us on 9/11!” That really set Behar and Goldberg off.

“Oh my God!” Behar said.

“That is such bullshit!” Goldberg said. “Extremists did that!”

Finally both ladies walked off on O’Reilly, don’t believe me? Check out the video (if you care) and see for yourself.

Nicole Paultre Bell headed off a rival’s attempt to knock her off the November ballot for a Queens City Council seat.

Yesterday a Queens Judge, tossed out a challenge by candidate Ruben Wills after it appeared that, Nicole Paultre Bell had more than enough signatures to qualify for the upcoming election.

Nicole is in a nonpartisan, six-way race for the Jamaica, Queens, seat vacated with the death of Thomas White Jr.
“Time will tell, but this may turn out to be the decisive victory in this race,” said City Councilman James Sanders, a Bell ally. “She has proved herself seaworthy.”
 
Bell needed 899 signatures of registered voters to head off the pre-election challenge by Wills, the favorite of the Queens Democratic party, and she has them.

Pictured above at “The House Of Justice AKA NAN” the 26-year-old mother of “2 daughters” declared “Today we have sent a clear message that the campaign for change won’t be hindered by unsubstantiated claims by my detractors.”

Nicole’s Fiance, Sean Bell was gunned down in a hail of bullets by cops outside of a Jamaica nightclub on their November 2006 wedding day.

“Should They Lie Or Leave?”

The ReadyWriter

WOO ..these spiritual leaders, pastors and “so-called Bishops” are recklessly off the hook!!

In the wake of the Bishop Eddie Long sex scandal, looks like God is blasting other Bishops, Pastors and spiritual leaders out of the closet with their indiscretions as well.

Last week, Bishop Steven Arnold, pastor of a prominent Little Rock, Arkansas church resigned after admitting to an affair with a female in his congregation.

Unlike the spiritual protocol at Bishop Long’s church, the Board Of Elders at Bishop Arnold’s church (St. Mark  Baptist Church), kicked his philandering ass to the curb after he admitted his affair to his congregation.

“It is with a heavy heard that we accept the resignation of our pastor. Under his leadership, we have experienced tremendous growth, both spiritually and numerically. We love and deeply appreciate all that he has done for us through God’s enablement these past 21 years. In our efforts to curtail speculation and gossip, the Board of Elders made the decision to be more specific about what led to Bishop Arnold’s resignation. But out of respect and sensitivity to the families and all that are involved, we will not release any more information other than this. We prayerfully hope that the public will show the same respect and be considerate of the feelings of family members and our church during this difficult time.”

Well, there is one obvious difference between these two scandals: One pastor slept with a woman and the other with a man or should I say, young men.

Bishop Eddie Long might be lying to save face, while Bishop Steven Arnold just admitted his wrong doing and resigned his position as pastor of his church.

In the meantime down in Jacksonville, Fl., Eric Alexander, the Pastor of St. Luke Baptist Church, was arrested for assaulting his ex-wife in front of church members. This story is a real mess! Read More..

So, should these spiritual leaders lie or leave?

“President Obama Appealing To Black Voters”

The ReadyWriter

President Barack Obama’s name has hit the campaign trail hard because the democratic party desperately needs a win.

So for the first time in 20 months, Obama is reaching out to the black and independent voters whose passion and eagerness to make history, helped propel him into office in 2008.

“We need to finish the plan you elected me to put in place. And I need you. I need you because this isn’t going to be easy,” said Obama at a Congressional Black Caucus’ annual dinner last month. [link]

Obama has made it clear that a loss for the Democrats in November would be a devastating failure for him personally.

“Don’t make me look bad, now,” Obama pleaded at a rally on the campus of historically black Bowie State University last week.

“Two years ago you defied the conventional wisdom in Washington,” Obama told thousands of black supporters Sunday at a rally in Philadelphia. “They said, ‘No you can’t. No you can’t elect a skinny guy with a funny name to the presidency of the United States,’” he added.

But not everyone in the black community hears Obama’s rallying cry. There are some who are suspicious of Obama’s sudden interest in the black community — even if they don’t voice their suspicions out loud.

“We haven’t heard from you in a while,” radio host Tom Joyner said sarcastically to the president at the start of his interview last month. [link]

“You know, I don’t get a chance to do much radio these days,” replied Obama, who records a weekly radio address every Saturday morning.

“We know that people have short memories, but they have to remember that Barack Obama didn’t create this problem,” Carolyn Pinkney, an African-American voter, said at Obama’s rally.

“Of course there’s some disenchantment because the president came in with such high expectations levels,” said Rendell. “But on the other hand there’s still a lot of African-Americans who say, ‘Hey, he’s not superman and he can’t change everything in 20 months.’” [link]
