Several hundred counter-protesters gathered Saturday evening at the Moda Center ahead of a protest by members of Westboro Baptist Church.
The counter-protesters harassed and chased the Westboro cult from the Media Center.
The Westboro Baptist Church attempted to protest the Portland Trailblazer game on Saturday.
It seems to me the anti-Westboro protesters, here, did good work. They did not threaten the Westboro people, they did not commit acts of violence. They just harassed them, and subject them to brutal and ongoing mockery.
If you ask me, THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING TO ISLAMISTS IN THE WESTERN WORLD.

A Challenge to Black Men as the NBA Finals End
I am struck by a paradox:
In the National Basketball Association (NBA) we laud the competitive grit of black players. Seven points down with two minutes left? Blacks don’t give up! Down 3 to 1 in the series? Believe (as the old NBA campaign suggested)! FIGHT! You can do it!!!
The paradox comes from comparing the Blacks’ never-say-die fighting attitude in the NBA to their constant victimization in social depictions. High crime rates? Blacks are victims of poverty. Poor school performance? Blacks are victims of hidden racism. Just hints of name-calling, apparently, causes black men to fold.
To illustrate the paradox, in 1950, Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton became the first black person to sign an NBA contract. You never hear black people say, “We cannot compete in basketball because we were kept out of the NBA until 1949.” But, we hear, “We can’t compete because we were kept out of white schools until the early 1960s,” all the time.
Instead of toughness, on and off the court we get constant cry-baby reactions from blacks. “Waaaa!” They cry, “He used the N-Word! Waaaa! And we reply, “Oh. We feel your terrible pain widdle one. Do you want the government to punish the bad man who hurt your widdle feelings? Can you stop crying now? Is the ouchy better?”
Instead our reaction should be, “Shut the F up and grow a pair!!!! As on the court, don’t dwell on the unfair call from the last play. Stop crying get back to competing!!!! MAN UP!!! And, while we’re on the subject blacks commit insane amounts of crime, parent irresponsibly, suck at school, and rely on the government to feed them way.
The whining reply to the prior statements, “Mommy he was waaaaycist.” It is a sad little trick. The above facts are not racist, they are culturist. They’re not statements about your genes; they refer to how much of your culture sucks off the court. These are not irrational bad calls, they are totally accurate depictions in the weakness of your off-court game.
So man-up black man! The Asians are dunking on you in the game of life. Hell, even the Latinos are stealing your balls! Don’t cry because I mentioned it. Drink some testosterone, put on your big boy pants and start playing off the court with as much grit as you do on it.

Throw David Stern Out of America and Out of the NBA !
David Stern, the Commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) represents all that is wrong with the globalist mindset and should be kicked out of America and the NBA. When a guest on Steven Colbert’s show Stern referred to US citizens as “you Americans.” He then declared that he is not an American, but an “internationalist.” When asked if he were an American, Colbert noted that he, “had to think about it.”[i] Stern, an “internationalist” running the “national” basketball league is symptomatic of the globalist mindset of the ruling class that plagues us all.
A globalist rather than a culturist, I suppose Stern takes no sides in the world. When the Taliban blow up girl’s schools, he is for both sides! When 9 – 11 happened, he did not see a clash of civilizations, merely a plane from nowhere hitting a building that could have been anywhere! As China buries us in debt and suppresses speech, as the Egyptians slaughter Christian Copts, he expresses no affiliation. He doesn’t identify with any culture in particular. The Olympics must have been boring for him.
We can see Stern’s contempt for culture in his new technical foul rule. Starting this season, players can get penalized for expressing emotion or complaining. And so in his perfect world corporate office sterility and decorum control all actions. Stern does not desire to see or understand cultural expression. Stern is “notorious for being a ruthless capitalist.”[ii] Profit does not come from inefficiency. Money has no loyalty. It notices nothing, not Jihad, not criminal Mexican gangs terrorizing Americans, nothing that does not impact on the bottom line.
Colbert mentioned that the sport has gone international with the Chinese player Yao Ming. Yao’s contract was negotiated by the government of China. China engages in unfair and illegal trade policies. It kills protesters and suppresses Christianity. China doesn’t have free speech or Democracy. But Stern is not a culturist. He has no allegiance to western culture. Rather would be just as happy in China. He would be just as happy to see American companies go there as stay here. It is all the same to him.[iii]
Typical of the globalist elite, Stern seems to have no connection to his product either. He has never played in a basketball league at any level. He has no connection to the sport other than being its legal counsel on drug testing and salary cap negotiations.[iv] Yet, through the logic of modern money’s dominance over all other considerations, he ends up being in control of the basketball and its rules.
Stern and his class have no allegiance to America. When the Phoenix Suns’ management made their team wear jerseys protesting their State’s immigration laws, Stern backed the protest.[v] Top-down, the players became forced to mouth the company’s political line. And the team badmouthed the very population it represents in favor of an international perspective.
For having no allegiance to America and for shipping our jobs overseas, capitalists of Stern’s ilk should be forced to live outside of the western world. Shy of that, for his lack of allegiance to the fans, players or basketball, Stern should be kept away from the American basketball courts in our National Basketball League.
