The Harold Ford Lie-Op Ed in the NY Post
Scarce did a nice post on Harold Ford called : The many lies of Harold Ford Jr
And now Ford is using the odious NY Post to disseminate more fabrications on his record and the type of Democratic politician he would be.
It's true: I am strongly considering running for the United States Senate.
I do so because our best as a nation has always come when we test our ideas and ourselves, and when we trust competition to refine the steel of our convictions and the truth of our arguments.
Some have already questioned whether I should be running.
Others are falsifying my record in public life.
New Yorkers deserve a free election....read on
Adam Bink has a few thoughts about him.
Harold Ford, Jr. thinks New York Democrats are stupid. Like, you want a Democrat who says he's liberal? Here's one on paper! That they'll just read a checklist of progressive issues in his stupid op-ed, read that he is suddenly in favor of marriage equality after flip-flopping on the Federal Marriage Amendment, voting twice for it, and then not announcing his newfound position in 2007, 2008, 2009 or early this year, and fall in love.
As usual, Media Matters has a great rundown of his bullshit.
If Harold Ford runs, there will be a big uprising in the blogosphere to defeat this jackass. Being a former New Yorker, I get really pissed off when frauds like Ford think they can waltz into the state and lie about their record. DLC Democrats are a dying breed anyway. The sooner they're altogether extinct, the better.
Hey...Not a bad idea.
He's light-skinned and doesn't have a nee-grow accent...even if he wanted to.
(Uh, this is off the record, right??)
"I can't keep doing this on my own with these...people."

When Don Imus was in his heyday on MSNBC, Ford was his favorite black guest and Imus would mercilessly say the most racially insensitive shit around Ford, who would just laugh his ass off.
Harold Ford is one of those old school, play it safe, don't do or say anything controversial, watered down black dudes.

Have there been any recent articles on these trends, at least something tangible to give the rest of us hope?
Is there a way we can affect their fundraising efforts, er, off the blogs?
"New York Times article in which Ford attacks his opponent for opposing the Wall Street bailout, advocates massive corporate tax cuts and talks of his $1-million-a-year life of chauffered limousine service, lavish helicopter rides and pedicures as a Wall Street executive in New York City. Yes, that's right - he gets paid $1 million a year from a bailout recipient bank - that's $1 million in taxpayer-subsidized salary - and is running around attacking Democratic lawmakers for opposing the bailout, without even acknowledging how selfishly self-interested that could look."
Ford really is a piece of shit. Why doesn't this fuck just go Republican?
He can't run as a Republican, he would automatically lose if he did.
"I could give a flying crap about the political process.... We're an entertainment company."
- Glenn Beck - Forbes interview; April 26, 2010
It's a semantic argument. He isn't in favor of gay marriage, he's in favor of "Civil Unions." It is a way to be for and against something all at once. He should be running on the Repubic ticket, but he's got that little issue with, well...being a Negro and all.
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S. Thompson
And now for this musical interlewd:

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
HAROLD FORD!
That's his platform. That's all you need to know. Everything else is just variations on that theme.
Would it help if his first name was Edsel?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Modled on the republican say anything you think will get you a vote!
Just like every republican and half the dems in congress and just a couple in the senate. Just exactly what we don't need in our government. He is a been there done that corrupt poll!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness and it is killing America!
From BraveNewFilms:
Meet Harold Ford, Jr.: Ann Coulter's Favorite Democrat
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
Spot on! He's a phony and hopefully New Yorkers will not be fooled!
Sadly, Harold also appears to be hiding his wife who is white. Now, I'm an African American female and I date outside my race. I don't give a damn what other people think. I have many girl friends who don't approve. That's their problem but, I also know that many older African Americans or Negros, as 3% of them still refer to themselves, don't approve so I'm wondering if this is the reason we haven't seen Harold's wife? Is he concerned with what the community's reaction will be? As I said, I was not raised that way but, this is one time where anything that works against Harold, works for the rest of us.
...to have emerged from the so-called Democratic Party in many decades. If he runs, he must be defeated. The Democratic Party simply can't afford to have scum like him running around pretending to represent the interests of anyone but himself.
DLCer's a dying breed? Huh?
I wish that were true John. Oh god how I wish that were true! But my eyes tell me the democratic party is run by Clinton flunky, Wall Street catering, totally corrupt, corporate suck-ups!
How did they pull ofF the great Rahmabama DLC hijacking of the democratic party? Just as soon as Obama got elected, he tossed all of the liberals aside, and brought back all of Clintons' republican-lite dipshits.
These would be the same DLC corporate facists who lost the democratic majority FDR had built (and kept), for 60 years running.
Unfortunately, we won't be rid of the DLC power structure, until Obama is replaced by a real democrat.
So here's to getting started on showing all the conservadems the door. The second phase of the revolt is kicking in; kicking out the republicans in the democratic party.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

He just needs to be shown for who he is and the voters won't buy it.
This shouldn't last long when the polls come out.
in the most important backroom game in town -- the one where the people's wealth is divvied up before the people ever see it. Wall Street just wants to start muscling themselves into Congress now.
The worst things to happen to the Ford name since the Ranger manual transmission.
Weren't there over 500 bounced checks? And his home state is still putting up with his perenially intoxicated sister in the Lege.
Rethugs love their kind of Democrat. Yes, they're light skinned and he, at least, speaks Standard American English with no trace of Ebonic or hillbilly accents. They're fiscally and personally irresponsible, and the GOP waves their names like flags when pointing out Democratic mistakes.

...of a carpetbagger? Let me get this straight: he represents Tennessee in the House, runs for the Senate in Tennessee, loses, and now wants to run for the Senate in New York?!
I'm sure the people of New York will see through this BS. Well, on second thought, they did elect an Arkansan to the Senate.
