President Obama’s war on black leaders

A good gang leader knows you have to take out your competition before they take you out. Jessie Jackson Jr is sitting in a jail cell. Travis Smiley was warned not to support Hillary in 2008 or there would be consequences.

Black Talk radio host Warren Ballentine lost his network show overnight when the Obama DoJ decided to charge him with a pretty tenuous charge of signing client’s closing paperwork that turned out to not be accurate.

I was thinking about Ballentine today and wondering if the case against him has gone forward.

What I found was this pretty amazing talk about Obama’s war on black radio hosts, and the man who is putting Ballentine back on the air on a tiny network

Bev Smith also got the boot about the same time. I found out last night he has “returned” to radio on WWRL in New York – from 1-4 AM – but only on Monday AM.

  1. Nearly half of the way through this YouTube clip and there’s been no insight at all into why Obama might be waging war against these radio hosts who undoubtedly voted for him twice, if not more.

  2. OK, just listened to the whole thing, fairly closely I think. Did I miss something? I didn’t hear a word of explanation as to why Obama would be waging war on these guys. Maybe the explanation was concealed in some kind of code that I can’t understand.

      Just wait until you hear Farrakhan’s speech. Keep the duck/duct tape handy.

      His logic was a bit sketchy – the most obvious falsehood was that Michael Baisden was making $10s of millions in profit for Cumulus Media (around 20:00). Baisden was just another ABC Radio holdover whose contract was acquired by Cumulus radio. If you want to start connecting dots, combine Baisden & James Rucker

      • Rucker is with Color of Change, which thanks to Glenn Beck I always associate with Obama pal Van Jones. Baisden said bad stuff about Rucker, so that could explain the Obama vs. Baisden part.

          You are correct sir!

          While claiming to speak for Black America, nobody elected him, he doesn’t have any grass roots organization, and he isn’t “black”. Even [former] Chicago Black Panther leader Bobby Rush hates his guts.
