Jackson Jambalaya

If you are not a member of the Republican or Tea Party, are married to an Hispanic, and think that the federal government should lower taxes, spend less, and get back in the black financially, does that make you a racist? Now before Donna and Ray Carter(he calls himself Walt over at the JFP nation) call me out for using a racist term, understand that black and red are terms used to indicate whether you are in the positive or negative financially. That is probably common knowledge for both, but I didn't want to be attacked unjustifiably.

That lady is nuts.

The tea party is neither Repub. or Dem., and neither white nor black.
It's American.

We stand for fiscal responsibility, free markets, and constituionally limited government.

It's about equal opportunity; not equal outcomes.

Positive result from posting any link to stench at the Fondren Bugle: today I'm signing up with the tea party....

In Donna's world, mentioning Jackson's high crime rate is "slamming the capital city unfairly" and promoting "racist hysteria", but suggesting that Tea Party leaders are actively trying to incite violent crimes against minorities counts as reasonable and thoughtful discussion.

As a young man in need of a job in the summer of 69 I became employed by the CC in their printing department. Knew the Simmons family well,what I saw was less about white rights and more of the fleeceing of the participants each month for the all important dues.
There we actual billing statements
to everyone wanting to participate. I was only 18; but it just looked like escalating the fears of intergration and charging them.
There were no checks and balances of where the money went.

My word she is a blithering idiot. Thanks for letting me waste another few minutes reading the rants of an obviously non-"partisan" liberal, hell, I'll go so far to say socialist, because she is starting to give liberals a bad name; but... not wanting to offend socialists, I might say communist; well... not wanting to offend communists, I guess I'll go back to blithering idiot. Yeah, thats the ticket.

I would call that a very loose attempt to make any correlation between the groups of hatred that she seems to admire by bringing them up all the time (man does she have white guilt or what?) and the Tea Party movement. What I find fascinating is that her understanding of the Tea Party movement is probably based on what she sees on TV. She would never actually take the time to understand the facts before she opens that trap of hers.

Donna, stick to writing copy about the arts community, well, maybe not, you might just offend them. I know, keep selling advertising to bars. Yeah, bars.

You damn greenie. Stop. Don't call me a color. I'm a brownie, can't you tell from my delicious chocolate coloring?

That above statement would most likely be construed amongst the JFP romper room folks as race baiting with food hysteria.

Most would just call it silly.

Did she really say she was a little "i". Look at her folow up comments.

Donna, I have a bridge I want to sell you, a great deal just for people that are little "i's".

You know it could also stand for idiot-insane-incompetent-incoherent-illogicial-impossble-illtempered you know I think she is just plain ILL.

Just as a nice constructive comment, if you want to be taken seriously please back up from the camera for you next editoral picture.

Oh, here's a good one:

It is worth noting that members of the Citizens Council didn't consider themselves racist, either. They were just protecting the nation from the commies, and everyone who didn't agree on the race question were "liberals" and "communists."

Remind me what has changed for some people.

Oh, and "illegals" is the n-word of the 21st century. Or one of them. Take it to the bank. If it wasn't, our Delta friend would at least be interested in the conversation we had about what "illegal immmigrant" actually means under the law, and doesn't mean.

So if you don't consider yourself a racist but disagree with her, doesn't matter, you're a racist. Funny.

Too bad she doesn't realize how many black reporters can't stand her and think she is nuts. One dialed me up recently and asked me if she was crazy.

It wouldn't matter. It's easily assimilated into her worldview. If she respects the reporter in question, it would feed her latent white guilt and she'd write an editorial exploring her hidden racism. If she doesn't respect the reporter in question, then he'd be dismissed as an Uncle Tom and she would pity him for letting whitey control him.

Her hysteric, and increasingly frequent, predictions of violence and spilled blood are not the words of a responsible journalist. A female Jim Jones spooning from a toxic vat of fear, hatred and intolerance.

OK, so if I apply that same logic to what we call pizza, I would be somewhat racist towards it if I called it a "pie"? Under her logic we should call "illegal immigrants" (note: they are taking up residence illegally) people who want to skirt the law and live here? That would be incorrect, because it can be construed as perhaps someone who likes to shoplift and live here, so that is out. Hmmm...

Donner K likes to take polarizing points and try to intertwine them in the mainstream debates. These attempts only further alienate her current base who, will realize their precious Donner K is nothing but confusing at best or a childish temper tantrum with a pen at worst.

Oh, and I also love her label of "troll". That would be code word for "censorship". Donna's threat to ban "trolls" appears to be a racially motivated opinion on freedom of speech where opposition speech is labeled "trolling". I am sure "trolls" of good conscious, or just law-abiding freedom loving Americans would take issue with being labelled a troll. I am not green and I do not smell. Do not insult me Donner K.

And, finally, what is with that picture? Every time I see it I think it is a cat sticking its nose in the camera lens. Weird.

Another disturbing comment from Ladd re: Adoring Robbie Bell

I doubt seriously that there was a getaway. I read somewhere that they were going to turn him in, but I don't know if that's true. It sounds on the surface as if she was trying to keep him from doing something worse, or killing himself.

I should say that I know Robbie Bell in a professional capacity and just adore her. My heart breaks for all the families involved here.

To everyone: I do worry about double standards at play here, and I'm curious what role Mr. Danks or others might have played in Mr. Bell not going to jail the first time.

Guys true confession. Auburn Rat is gay and I am a member of the Tea Party and a registered Georgia Repub. Now..I am not a flamer (ie that slide poppin airline steward). I can play golf, shoot hoops, sit at the meeting room table with the best of you. I'm not a racist.....if anything I'm a classist. Yes there is such a thing as "the right kind of people"....they come in all colors and nationalities......anyway, I use to blog on her site but it has gotten too left for me...and articles/editorials like that one just prove it. But I will say that alot of thought goes into her writings and she is a good journalist for her side. No doubt she's left of left as are the regulars on the site. Enough of me.......for now. Thanks..........

Donner K, ... I love it ! ... That's a "good one" .

The JFP is better for comic relief than the tabloids.
What will we see in next week's edition ?
Let me guess... BREAKING NEWS : " New photo's on Planet Mars show Elvis was at the Neshoba County Fair one month before his death, that proves HE MUST BE IN THE KLAN !!!

At least the JFP provides us with with recycling opportunities with our pet's bathroom areas.

I love this website Kingfish !

I'll say it.

Apparently, KF you attract intelligent people, not just folks who want to tell you what they do in their private lives.

"Donner K likes to take polarizing points and try to intertwine them in the mainstream debates. These attempts only further alienate her current base who, will realize their precious Donner K is nothing but confusing at best or a childish temper tantrum with a pen at worst."

That is why no one, NO ONE, with any credibility, other than David Watkins, posts there now. Same handfull of predictable (and some EXTREMELY self seving) groupies.

I have to say this post is extremely reassuring. I've been trying to participate in discussions over there for a while now -- with more success initially, and less success recently as Donna and Todd have clamped down on my posting privileges -- and it's kind of like falling down the rabbit hole. The only differing viewpoints they permit are slightly different positions that still support massive government, Keynesian economics, and whatever the hot button leftist social issue of the moment happens to be. I've heard Donna and Todd describe themselves as independent, libertarians or libertarian-leaning, supporters of free enterprise, progressives, and various other labels depending on what happens to suit their purposes at that moment. War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength.

Just ask Miki Dickoff how she was treated by Madame DeLadd.

It is an echo chamber Mark. They moderate your comments due to their maniacal need to totally control the narrative. Some of us are surprised it took you so long to figure it out. The entire enterprise is a shrine set up so that Donna may be worshiped.

Defection from the JFP. Beautiful. Now behave.

Couldn't be many left to defect. Would they fill a Yugo?

Agreed. We use to read and blog all of the time, but no more.

That woman has control issues, and seems to be comfortable with those that haven't "grown up" yet.

Wow. I just read Micki's response to Donner K's editorial. DK really does believe what she says and that is scary. Her emotionalism was clearly evident in her writings. Additionally, the best comment was about her sovereignty of Mississippi and only folks from MS can really tell the story, in other words, we don't need outsiders telling us what we already know.

What a bunch of hogwash. That type of attitude is similar to the attitude the Klan employed. If it weren't for the Freedom Riders of the 60's coming to MS, who knows what would have happened. "Outsiders" played a role in stopping what was clearly wrong and they paid dearly, with their lives in some cases.

What started as a criticism/bitching about a colleague turned into a complete disaster.

Here's more self-aggrandizement for you:
Heard on a Jack FM radio commercial--
"Dancing with the Stars sponsored by Jackson Free Press raises funds for the Mississippi Opera by allowing you to dance with local celebrities such as JFP editor-in-chief Donna Ladd."

No mention of other sponsors or celebs and barely a mention of the MS Opera, who has held this fundraiser for at least the past one-two years. How many people in Jackson will even recognize her name?

I didn't know that Donna Ladd was, um, a 'local' celebrity. A local celebrity is someone people KNOW just by mentioning their name... An editor in chief of a weekly printed liberal "newspaper" is hardly a celebrity.

We can only hope it will be as outstanding as her roller derby gig.

Re Anon 12:14--

What comment thread is this exchange under? The link doesn't work.

Search for "Micki Dickoff site:jacksonfreepress.com". And I would never want to dance with "cat-face."

Link isn't hot but does work.

Perhaps ole Stu I should replace Donna Ladd in the "local celebrity" dancin with the stars.

I would never put a "hot link" on this site pointing to JFP. Its the SEO in me.
