I could get into all of the data that says white people kill white people and Latinos kill other Latinos—basically, that most crime is intra-racial—but we’ve been down that path before. And facts don’t seem to make much of a dent in ideology. The right loves nothing better than a black conservative peddling false equivalencies on black pathology. While I do not believe black people can be racist in the same way white people are, they certainly can be right-wing racism mules. In that sense, Riley has been “pushing weight” for years.
In a victory for food companies, the legislation even makes federally subsidized school lunches less healthy by allowing companies that provide them to include fewer whole grains. This boosts their profits because junkier food is less expensive to make.Today, we turn our attention to the five worst candidates of the cycle. Of course, every election year features a select slate of disastrous candidates (Do the names Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Todd Akin or Richard Mourdock ring any bells?) It’s not that this year witnessed the nomination of uniquely bad candidates — indeed, compared to past candidates notorious for dabbling in topics like witchcraft and rape, this year’s crop of contenders was positively splendid.Rep. Peter King (R-NY) asserts that Eric Garner wouldn’t have died had he been healthier. “There was no damage to the windpipe, and no damage to the neck. If he had not been obese, if he had not had diabetes, if he had not asthma, this probably would not have have happened. Nobody intended this to have happened,” King said on a December 4 segment of Fox News. ”Eleven times he said, ‘I can’t breathe,’” King acknowledged, but then opined, “The fact is, if you can’t breathe, you can’t talk. If you’ve ever seen somebody arrested, they are always saying you’re breaking my arm, you’re killing me, I’m dying. If the police officer let him go at that time, the whole thing would have started all over again.” The coroner called Eric Garner’s death by choking a homicide, but Rep. King, who is not a doctor, has conducted his own pseudo-autopsy.
Still, some candidates managed to go from odds-on favorites to Election Day losers, while others badly fumbled closely contested races and ended up losing by far larger margins than expected. Here, without further adieu, we rank the 2014 hall of political shame.
5. Martha Coakley
Democrats still shudder when they think back to the early winter of 2010, when, after a lackadaisical campaign, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley blew a 30-point lead in the special election to succeed the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, losing to Republican Scott Brown by 5 points. But Coakley dusted herself off and won another term as attorney general that fall, with an eye toward ultimately redeeming herself and winning higher office.
Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick’s decision not to seek a third term gave Coakley that opening. While many Democrats remained scarred by the 2010 experience, Coakley assured the party that she’d learned from her humiliating defeat, and early polling gave her a double-digit lead over GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker. A repeat of 2010 couldn’t have been in the cards — right?What Scarborough could not take was the fact that anyone believed Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Officer Darren Wilson, although many witnesses have said so. Wilson told the more nonsensical story that Brown charged at him after punching him (and knowing that Wilson had a gun). More Scarborough rant from Yahoo:
“It’s absolutely terrible that that black man lay in the street for four and a half hours,” Scarborough said. “That’s one area where you can say no white man would lay in the street for four and a half hours. There are places where there are great inequities. That said, at least get your signs right. If this movement is important enough to you, don’t base your movement on a lie.”
Scarborough added: “By the way, if I’ve offended anybody by saying what I’ve said, trust me: 95 percent of America thinks just like me. Just because there are cowards that won’t say that on TV, that’s your problem, it’s not mine, because you’re not getting the truth.”
And neither are you, Scarborough
