Fw: [TheBlackList] BOYCOTT THE NEWYORK POST--President Obama Mocked As A Runaway Slave?

BOYCOTT THE NEWYORK POST FOUND THIS ARTICLE AFTER A TIP FROM FB FRIEND DIANE GLOVER President Obama Mocked As A Runaway Slave? Pro-Romney Cartoon in Fox News Mogul's Tabloid Might As Well Have Been Signed By The KKK Imperial Wizard SEE ATTACHMENT FOR PHOTOS  Cartoon recently published by New York Post - [Click to Enlarge] Nationwide (October 31, 2012) -- Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch's New York Post published last week what some are calling the most profoundly disrespectful and racist cartoon ever about President Obama. The cartoon depicts an angry white man on horseback (Mitt Romney) chasing down a terrified skinny black man fleeing on foot (President Obama) - and the Romney figure is aiming an assault rifle and attached bayonet at the Obama figure's backside. "The cartoon clearly evokes an image from the Old South of an overseer or slave catcher chasing down a runaway slave," says a report by two interpreters of code language and political cartoons at www.lyndonlarouchewatch.org/obama-KKK-new-york-post.htm "Don't believe the Post if they claim this is just payback satire on the President's quip about horses and bayonets that exposed Romney's ignorance of defense issues," said Dennis King, one of the authors of the report, referring to the final Presidential campaign debate on Oct. 22. "This goes way, way beyond satire. For one thing, Obama's quip didn't refer to assault rifles or to using horses to chase down black people. The dog whistle in this cartoon is so loud that anyone can hear it if they aren't in deep denial." The report said that the Post cartoon was an example of "the knee-jerk hatred of Obama by so many Republicans [that] goes back to group fantasies of the Rebellious Slave, or in this case of the uppity educated n___, who must be put back in his place." The cartoonist, Sean Delonas, was accused of racism in 2009 when one of his cartoons depicted a rabid chimpanzee dying on a sidewalk after being shot by New York cops. The caption strongly implied that the chimp was meant to represent President Obama. The Post said it was sorry people were offended, but never fully apologized. (Both cartoons are included with the report.) Mr. King is a journalist who has written extensively on coded forms of bigotry. His co-author of the report, Geraldine Pauling, is an independent scholar and long-time member of the International Psychohistorical Association, which is noted for its analyses of political cartoons.

Black people in general should Boycott the post because of their long entrenched racism BUT SHOULDN'T HOLDER BUST THEM FOR PHONE TAPPING OR DO YOU THINK THE MURDOCHS ONLY DID THIS IN THEIR NEWSPAPER IN ENGLAND?????

Fw: Temporary rate Card Delay | Video/Teleconferencing to be Discontinued at TLC SI Office | HOV Restriction in Place

October 31, 2012 To All Interested Parties: Industry Notice #12-41 October 31, 2012 For Immediate Release HOV Restriction in Place The NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) wishes to notify its licensees that the City of New York has imposed High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) restrictions on all vehicles entering Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Ed Koch/59th Street Bridge, the RFK/Triborough Bridge and the Henry Hudson Bridge between the hours of 6 a.m. and midnight. During these hours, vehicles must have at least three occupants (driver + at least 2) in order to be allowed to cross into Manhattan. Medallion taxicabs will be exempt from this requirement between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight. The MTA will be restoring limited subway service starting tomorrow (November 1). However, there will be no subway service from Brooklyn directly into Manhattan, resulting in substantial numbers of passengers being let off at Jay Street/Borough Hall, Atlantic Center, and at Broadway Junction. Drivers may find passengers at those locations seeking transportation into Manhattan. ------------ Cabs Needed at Grand Central + Penn Stations In Manhattan, southbound subway service from the Bronx and Northern Manhattan will terminate at Penn Station/34th Street on the West side and 42nd Street/Grand Central Station on the East Side (until MTA service is fully restored). There will be increased demand for taxicabs at the taxi stands at these two locations. We remind you that taxicabs are permitted to accept additional passengers during the MTA outage, and we strongly encourage drivers to exercise the group riding option, as this will result in more passengers being served as well as increased driver revenue. In shared rides, the first passenger(s) is/are on the meter, and additional passengers picked up along the way may negotiate a fare with the driver (TLC recommends $10 per additional person). Livery cabs (and black cars and limos) may accept street hails until the order is rescinded when substantial subway service has been restored. The fare may be negotiated and must be quoted before the ride commences, and the TLC recommends $15 per trip in Manhattan under 96th Street, or Manhattan above 96th Street, or within another borough; or $25 per trips from one borough to another, or when you cross from one side of 96th Street to the other. en Español Noticias para la industria #12-41 31 de octubre, 2012 Para Publicación Inmediata Restricciones de HOV La Comisión de Taxis y Limusinas (TLC) desea notificar a sus licenciados que la Ciudad de Nueva York ha impuesto restricciones de vehículos de alta ocupación (HOV) a todos los vehículos entrando a Manhattan mediante el puente Williamsburg, el puente de Brooklyn, el puente de Manhattan, el puente Ed Koch/Calle 59, el puente RFK/Triboro, y el puente Henry Hudson entre las horas de 6 a.m. y 12 a.m. Durante estas horas, vehículos tienen que tener por lo menos tres pasajeros (chofer y dos personas más) para que sean permitidos cruzar hacia Manhattan. Taxis con medallón estarán exentos de este requisito entre las horas de 4 p.m. y 12 a.m. Esperamos mucha demanda para servicio de taxis hacia Manhattan durante las mañanas y dentro de Manhattan a lo largo del día y recomendamos a choferes que operen mañana y viernes. La MTA restaurara servicios de metro subterráneo empezando mañana (1 de noviembre). Sin embargo, no habrá servicio de metro subterráneo desde Brooklyn directamente hacia Manhattan, resultando en un número substancial de pasajeros siendo dejados en Jay Street/Borough Hall, Atlantic Center, y en Broadway Junction. Choferes podrían encontrar a pasajeros buscando transportación hacia Manhattan en estas localidades. ------------ Taxis Necesitados en Grand Central y Penn Station En Manhattan, servicio de metro subterráneo en dirección sur del Bronx y Norte Manhattan terminara en Penn Station/Calle 34 en el lado oeste, y la Calle 42/Grand Central Station en el lado este (hasta que el servicio de la MTA sea restaurada). Habrá más demanda para taxis en las paradas de taxis en estas dos localidades. Le recordamos que los taxis están permitidos aceptar a pasajeros adicionales durante el apagón de la MTA, y recomendamos a choferes que ejerciten las opciones de manejar en grupos, ya que esto resultara en más pasajeros siendo servidos al igual que un ingreso aumentado para el chofer. En viajes compartidos, el primer (o los primeros) pasajero paga la tarifa del taxímetro, y pasajeros adicionales recogidos en el camino pueden negociar una tarifa con el chofer (la TLC recomienda $10 por persona adicional). Taxis sin medallón (y carros negros de lujo y limusinas) pueden aceptar a pasajeros de la calle hasta que la orden este rescindida cuando el servicio de metro subterráneo sustancial sea restaurado. La tarifa puede ser negociada y debe ser citada antes que comience el viaje, y la TLC recomienda $15 por viaje en bajo de la Calle 96 en Manhattan, o arriba de la Calle 96 en Manhattan, o dentro de otro condado; o $25 por viaje de un condado a otro, o cuando cruza de un lado de la Calle 96 al otro.
