If you need any more indication that the political right is willing to stoop to about anything to make Shirley Sherrod seem like a liar, we point you to an article that wrongly makes the argument that the former USDA official misrepresented her father's murder when she called it a "lynching".

The first week of the new decade sees the New York Times declare Harlem safe for the masses and Glen Beck show his racism -- again.

African-American is a bogus, PC, made-up term. I mean, that's not a race. Your ancestry is from Africa and now you live in America. Ok, so you were brought over -- either your family was brought over through the slave trade or you were born here and your family emigrated here or whatever but that is not a race.

Thanks Glen. Cause Afric-- I mean, blacks aren't allowed to define ourselves.

WINNERS

Alan Keyes

In case you need to see what CRAZY looks like.

His rhetoric may be more inflammatory, but he's still no Clarence Thomas, if only because he doesn't have any power.
