Illinois Democrat State Senator Ricky Hendon went nuclear today at a campaign event for Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn. He lashed out at Quinn’s GOP opponent Bill Brady, calling him “idiotic, racist, sexist, and homophobic.” Oh, but it gets even worse than that…

“I’ve never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life. If you think that the minimum wage needs to be three dollars an hour, vote for Bill Brady. If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.”

Can you believe that garbage? What’s worse, Gov. Pat Quinn has refused to apologize for the outrageous remarks made by his friend.

Here’s the video:

I don’t know if you caught the debate on Meet The Press this weekend between Illinois Senate Candidates Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias, but it was a doozy.

Republican Mark Kirk went scorched earth on Giannoulias by pulling out a sheet of paper with a list of multi-million dollar loans he signed off on for notorious mafia figures. Alexi was the fat cat in charge of loans at a bank owned by his family in Chicago. As chief loan officer he signed off on multiple loans for legendary crime figures like Michael “Jaws” Giorango (bad guy but really cool name).

I admit I never liked Alexi Giannoulias. He makes my skin crawl in the same way John Edwards did the first time I laid eyes on him. You can just tell he’s a sleazy little weasel. You can take one look at him and know he has no business being a US Senator.  So of course, Barack Obama and his cronies have been vigorously campaigning for him.

On the other side, you have Republican Mark Kirk. I’m no fan of his either, but I’d vote for any Republican just so we can make Obama’s former Senate seat GOP. Kirk has a legitimate military record that anyone could be proud of, but for some reason he’s repeatedly embellished it. He’s a total RINO who’s singing out of the Tea Party hymnal just so he can win. But again, it’s worth electing a RINO just to take Obama’s Senate seat.

This is pretty damn unbelievable. I can’t imagine how a guy with as much baggage as Scott Lee Cohen appears to have ever got this far. He wants be Lt. Governor of Illinois, but his past includes a police report detailing an attack on his ex-wife in which he held a knife to her throat. He also owes her a shit load of back child support.

I acknowledge that in divorce proceedings sometimes exaggerations fly, but we’re talking about police reports here. Add that to the ex-girlfriend who claims he broke into her bedroom and tried to force her to have sex.

The bottom line is that Illinois is on the verge of electing another scumbag to office if they’re not careful.

Watch this report. The reporter is awesome. He says “dude” after reading allegations to Cohen’s face.

If you thought Barack Obama’s election to the highest office in the land would usher in a new post-racial period for America — think again. Laura Washington’s column in the Chicago Sun-Times today is about the perceived ‘hijacking’ of Barack Obama’s “black Senate seat” through a possible special election in light of Gov. Blago’s corruption.

The so-called “Concerned Clergy of Illinois” (meaning concerned black clergy concerned about black people) believes that the federal corruption investigation of Blagojevich is cover for a conspiracy by whites to take Obama’s “black senate seat.”

Meanwhile, the concerned clergy, a cadre of several dozen prominent black ministers, are “appalled” by the fallout of the sensational federal investigation. They see it as a thinly veiled attempt by white pols to hijack the seat, says Stephanie Gadlin, the coalition’s spokeswoman.

There’s a massive conspiracy afoot, Gadlin says. “We see it for what it is. What we are really looking at is ‘The Luck of the Irish’ — two Madigans, Fitzgerald, Durbin, Cullerton, Claypool, Daley, and all the rest. They’re making a power play to regain the control of the politics, money and jobs in this state.”

…White voters don’t and won’t accept the idea that America and Illinois need — and deserve — a black senator. (When the Senate was all white, they never complained).

So white people were fine with electing a black president, but electing a black senator is a bridge too far? The real issue here is that Chicago is full of black racists who flat out don’t like white people. Secondly, I wasn’t aware that Barack Obama had a ‘black’ seat in the senate. I thought his seat was the same color as all the other seats. People like Laura Washington (racist people) aren’t interested in filling a job with the most competent or qualified person, but rather with someone who shares the same skin color as them.

Black leaders in Chicago don’t want the people to have a chance to vote, because they may not elect a black person to fill Obama’s seat. The blacks who claim a racial conspiracy are in fact the only ones motivated by race in this situation. Barack Obama’s senate seat is not the property of black people simply because the guy who filled it was black.

Assuming his senate seat was filled by another black guy, what would that really mean? Did the south side of Chicago get any less corrupt, poor, or violent when Obama was a senator from Illinois? How did having a black senator from Chicago help the black community in Illinois?

The one thing about Barack Obama that sets him apart from his black colleagues in Chicago is that he doesn’t view everything through a racial lens. His blackness doesn’t come before everything in his life. He’s interested in doing the right thing for the whole community not just the black community. Unlike his pastor of 20 years, Obama doesn’t see a conspiracy cooked up by ‘white devils’ around every corner.

Blacks in Chicago need to wise-up and get with the times. Stop playing the perpetual victim. Stop pretending to be persecuted.

The FBI arrested the Gov. of Illinois this morning at his home for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama’s recently vacated senate seat. That sounds like quite an accusation, but the FBI has wiretaps that prove their case beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The Smoking Gun has partial transcripts of many of the taped conversations recorded by the FBI and it’s honestly stunning. When you read the transcripts it will truly make you hate politicians in general. Blagojevich reveals himself to be corrupt down to his bones with the sole agenda of furthering his own career both politically and financially.

In the days leading up to the presidential election as it began to look more and more like Obama would win — Blagojevich began scheming.

The FBI has the governor on tape time after time speculating on all the things he could trade Obama’s senate seat for. He tells his aides that he’s not about to let that seat go for nothing. He speculates on all the potential goodies he could get from the president-elect in return for putting his favored candidate in his old Senate seat.

He probably says a hundred times that he wants to make money and that he wants his wife to make money. He tells his deputy governor to look into what potential boards he could have his wife installed on along with a nice salary.

Both the governor, his wife, and a political consultant discuss how they could arrange things so that nothing is tied to president-elect Obama.

During one phone call, Blagojevich says he doesn’t want to be governor for the next two years and instead wants to make some money. He says he’s not just gonna give this motherf*cker (Obama) his senator for nothing. F*ck that!

One job the governor becomes fixated on is becoming head of a corrupt labor union. Blagojevich wants to be head of the SEIU and he’s convinced Obama can get him that position in return for Obama’s candidate of choice to fill his senate seat. He also wants his wife to get hooked up with a nice job either at the SEIU or somewhere else.

This is further proof that labor unions are nothing but a corrupt arm of the democratic party. The SEIU, UAW, and all the rest should be broken up — but that’s for another article.

What’s most troubling is that all the consultants that Blagojevich discusses his planned illegal activity with are all in agreement that it’s doable. The governor asks various consultants if Obama could get him and his wife this job or that job or a seat on this board or that board and every time they say sure, Obama can definitely do that.

I’m beginning to wonder how high this corruption goes. All these corrupt Chicago politicians seem mighty confident that our newly minted president-elect will gladly go along with their highly illegal schemes. Chicago politics is famous for its corruption so it’s likely Barack Obama can play dirty when its in his interest. Of course, even if he did the media would never cover it so I guess it’s really a mute point.

It’s not often that the public gets to see behind the curtain of politics. These FBI wiretaps give you an unvarnished view of the worst kind of politics this country has to offer. Blagojevich’s incredibly cynical view of his role as governor really plays into people’s worst fears about politicians.

The FBI should charge the governors wife with conspiracy and each and every one of his staffers who participated in these schemes.
