The Shill Report
This morning, Steve Gill interviewed Star Parker, a most unpleasant woman who blamed secular humanists, liberals and Democrats for, well, all of our societal ills. Not surprisingly, Parker will be in Franklin, TN Saturday night as the featured speaker for a fund raising banquet for Tennessee Right to Life, who also like to place blame instead of emphasizing education.
First, I’d like to personally thank Steve Gill for elevating the debate. It’s not every day that he ignores the nuance of complex social issues to focus on the sensational. Oh wait, yes it is.
Parker, founder and president of Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, is a conservative pundits dream. She’s their “welfare queen” in the flesh - but repentant and saved from her life of “fraud” by the good grace of the Lord. With Christ now firmly in her heart, Parker has turned her back on her life as a former single welfare mother in Los Angeles and, through her organization, has promised to “fight poverty and restore dignity through faith, freedom and personal responsibility.”
I’m happy for her. Really. If she wasn’t such a fraud. Tell me, are Parker’s claims of fighting poverty evident in her essays about Tavis Smiley’s lack of knowledge about the presidential primary process, the Democrats use of the Iraq war for political gain, or PETA’s association with Jenna Jameson? And which part of “Fred Thompson’s rope-a-dope,” “Barack Obama’s strange ethnic politics,” “Democrats revive liberalism,” or “Let the Fairness Doctrine rest in peace,” restores “dignity through faith, freedom and personal responsibility?”
Please, Ms. Parker, don’t come on my radio pretending to provide answers, outreach, education, and opportunity for the least among us when you’re so obviously a shill for the Republican party.

“House Master,” people who post offensive comments anonymously are cowards. If you have something to say to me, then stand up as yourself and say it.

You sho’ like barking out orders Miss Mary. Perhaps you ain’t got all the slavemaster out of your system from a previous life.

HM, Are you trying to be funny, or make a political point. Either way, it isn’t really working. Are you just happy that Star Parker speaks the way that she does? Or are you making fun of the education she received because of her socio-economic situation?
