It’s impossible to ignore a headline like this, even if you have so many emails you’d just as soon ignore it:
Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American [Salon: David Sirota]
The SPLC dubbed government reformers and other conservatives as extremists and the Dept. of Homeland Security followed suit. (Snip from SPLC report, 2009)I don’t have to tell you the pundit is a Democrat—obsession with skin color is a tradition that dates to the Civil War for that party.
Sirota, however, builds an argument that ignores key facts about who is profiled and targeted by government.
On Monday evening I watched in awe as two major pundits misstated what GOP nominee Mitt Romney said about his tax plan. I expect misstatements—even outright lies—from Democrats lusting for President Barack Obama’s reelection.
Late Tuesday evening as I struggled to stay awake in hopes of learning who my home state’s next governor would be, someone sent me a link to a video of longtime Democrat cheerleader Chris Matthews. Matthews was grilling Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) who was at a campaign event. Behind her a supporter stood with a sign that read, “How’s the tingle, Chris?”
This video created by the Dallas Tea Party shows MSNBC leftwinger Keith Olbermann chastising Tea Partiers about their lack of diversity. He starts with skin color. I'm not aware whether Tea Party groups have ever run a statistical analysis on the racial background of participants. I mean you'd ordinarily have less minority members since they're in the minority, right?
Of course, even if you have all those white people, anyone who can process a real thought as opposed to retrogressive dogma (excluding most at MSNBC) would realize there is an astounding amount of diversity regardless of skin color. Isn't that what America is all about?
Sidenote to Olbermann: even white people have their differences.
The Texas Tea Party came up with their own assessment. Enjoy the commentary on MSNBC's all white-skinned (are they all Northeastern Democrats?) lineup. I'm betting there's not a Republican in that crowd. I don't see any handicapped people. Or extremely old people (although Matthews looks kind of old). And gosh, I don't see anyone wearing clothing that would suggest she is Muslim. What faiths are represented by the MSNBC lineup?
And personally speaking, we prefer our commentary from Rachel Maddow. She not only manages to display intelligence, she doesn't get those googly eyes Olbermann and Chris Matthews get when they have those Freudian hysteria moments.
This video is likely to give you one of those Chris Matthews leg tingles--it's that good.
Hat tip to Brad Bashem, one of my Facebook buddies, who linked us to Atlas Shrugs where Pamela Geller writes and where we found this perfectly delightful video.
Glenn Beck is everywhere these days—ratings for his Fox TV show are through the roof and his new book‘Arguing with Idiots’ is in the number 2 spot on Amazon. He’s been on the cover of Democratic-leaning publications and he’s on the cover of what we consider one of the best news magazines in America, Newsmax [October, 2009]. Outspoken, irreverent and at times downright scary, Beck appears to be his own man. The left has decried his criticism of the current administration and now the right is jumping aboard the ‘Get Beck’ wagon. What brought it all on?
