While even SNL decided to call Hillary and her supporters “sore losers” the other night, it dawns on me that there is some name-calling that Hillary and her supporters have not done. Well, I think it’s time to do just that.

In a world where being PC rules, there comes a time when some braver souls dare to be truthful over being polite. Yes, New Yorkers tend to do that quite often. Actually it’s something I’m rather proud of.

Let’s go back to the Ferraro “controversy” for a moment.

Geraldine Ferraro, a lifelong Democrat, was slammed and abused in the media and used by Obama’s people in an effort to deflate the Wright controversy that they KNEW was coming out.

Naturally, David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign guru, knew this was about to hit the media because ABC had contacted them for an interview prior to the story being released. So, Axelrod dug up the Ferraro comments to twist it all and make Hillary and her team look like racists.

It was an ugly, disgusting and dirty tactic, but it was one that worked. It worked to rally more black support for Obama. There is no denying this, since Obama gets upwards of 90% of the black vote steadily.

Of course, this stunt then gave some in the media license to call Hillary and her supporters “racists” when there is nothing further from the truth.

Hillary has never done anything that would make her a racist. Her record speaks for itself. Same with Ferraro. But the name-calling game was in full swing, and ugly labels took center stage over the issues - much like Obama’s team wanted, since he can’t compete on the issues and has no real track record to speak of.

The sad thing in all of this is that no one on Hillary’s side is really engaging in any real name-calling the way I will here today.

Yesterday, I engaged in a discussion with a man online. I am not sure of his race, but he is male.

Anyway, he slipped and said that Hillary was trying to take the election from a “deserving black man.”

Excuse me? Deserving? Why is he that? What makes anyone “deserving” in a race for a nomination like this except for Al Gore?

The conversation went on and this man could NOT answer that simple question. Why the use of the word “deserving”?

“You’re reading too much into my use of the word,” said he.

“No, I am NOT. You slipped. You said “deserving” because Obama is a MAN and YOU are also a MAN and rather than being HONEST, you chickened out, and you tried to take this word of out play. YOU put it out there. But you lack the spine to be honest,” I replied.

Chickens. All of them. The liars at MSNBC, who just the other day failed to post anything on their website revealing that Obama’s people held secret meetings with Hamas. Fox reported it on their website. NOTHING on MSNBC’S website last I checked.

It’s really odd and strange, that those so willing to label others become so shocked when labels get thrown back at them.

Concerning the Wright controversy, there have been MANY pundits and people who have danced around the issue, making all of these crazy excuses like “Obama didn’t say it,” or some such weak reason to give Obama a pass for hanging around Wright for more than 20 years and not completely blasting him when the story broke.

Chickens. All of them. Because the REAL reason these people aren’t reacting like some of us stems from the undeniable truth that they must agree with Wright and by extension, also with Obama.

America is an awful country. America made AIDS to kill blacks. America deserved 9/11. Innocent Americans deserved to die beacuse of our foreign policy. These are not my views. Mine are the oppostite. However, those that still support Obama in spite of this hateful talk seems to indicate that some negative attitudes about America are out there.

And rather than come out and say it, they dance around the issue, making all of these excuses to justify their weak arguments. Enough already - just SAY it! Because the lying isn’t working. It insults everyone, perhaps you more than me.

My goodness. It is hard to respect those that cannot be truthful. This is, of course, America. And everyone is entitiled to free speech. But that doesn’t matter when honesty has gone out of style. And that doesn’t matter when you’re too chicken to be honest.

I’m not a chicken. I say what I think and why I think it. Perhaps this is why many will call me names that I don’t deserve. Well, this is me firing back, this is me telling like it is.

- The DNC is made up of male chauvanist pigs who are afraid to admit it. A disloyal bunch who seems to have forgotten that action speaks louder than words.

- The media are the same as the DNC.

- Obama and his supporters tend to be anti-American in their basic sentiments.

- Jeremiah Wright IS a racist, but at least he’s honest about it.

- Obama supporters tend to be anti-white.

- Clinton supporters are not racists. However, to be honest, the many that support her will have their day. Latinos, women, seniors, white working class - core base of the Democratic party - will split from this party for a very long time, having been alienated and taken for granted by the DNC.

- Fox News is the ONLY cable network covering this election fairly. Other media outlets have launched a shameful intiative to protect Obama and damn Clinton.

To those of you that still dare to tell like it is, you have my respect. But to those out there too chicken to speak up and be honest, you can stop playing the game. Because you aren’t fooling anybody.
