Raw Story: Armstrong Williams settled gay sex suit, new controversy...

Armstrong Williams lashed out at NAACP for sex harassment after settling harassment suit himself

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

The conservative columnist who was fired after accepting $240,000 to promote Bush’s ‘No Child Left Behind’ law rebuked the NAACP for “charges of sexual harassment and economic improprieties” after settling a sexual harassment suit himself, RAW STORY has learned.

Just last month, in an article discussing Kweisi Mfume’s resignation from the nation’s largest civil rights lobby, Williams said the NAACP was “foundering amidst charges of sexual harassment and economic improprieties” when Mfume was hired.

Mfume, he asserted, righted the ship–cleaning up the organization’s debt and concurrently issuing overtures to Republicans. But their veteran leader, Julian Bond, who in Williams’ piece was equated with an organization plagued by harassment, economic scandal and stridently anti-Bush messages–forced him out.

Williams, RAW STORY has discovered, settled accounts for the same misdeeds himself.

3. IT goes to self-loathing...with is RAMPANT in the Repuke leadership.

EDIT: On second thought..it is not exclusive to the leadership.
I think the philosophy attracts self-loathing people at all levels. Ann Coulter, O'Lielly, Savage, Malkin...alot of the mouthpieces are also very self-loathing for whatever reason.
It would seem that even at the street-person level, it may attract this kind of person, because it gives them scapegoats on which to focus their hate and anger, someone other than themselves.

The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc

4. The rampant hypocrisy is beginning to push my tolerance levels...
I'm not sure how much more I can take, at first it pissed me off, then it amused me, now I'm working on not puking.

I feel like I'm in a world full of children playing grown-up.
I feel like the present is 100 years in the past when barbaric hypocrisy and religion ruled.

Is society ever going to grow up?
