Last night on Fox Business’ Nightly Scoreboard, host David Asman discussed the tale of two women: Nancy Pelosi and Sarah Palin – both of whom are viewed very differently by the folks. Pelosi, who is revered and damn-near lionized by the MSM, is the most powerful inside the beltway; and Palin, who is LOVED by most common sense Americans, is villified by the MSM for just that – her appeal is outside the NE corridor and outside the beltway. The liberal elite and MSM either don’t understand her, or they do and they fear her. Either way, it is quite telling that folks who don’t care too much for Sarah spend the most time trying to dismiss her. I have to say that those people who do so, do so at their own peril.
Anbrew Breitbart came on to discuss what happened at last weekend’s Tea Party event in Searchlight, Nevada, which is the hometown of Harry Reid. In a town which is best described as the surface of the moon by Breitbart, the MSM seemed almost frightened by the fact that Sarah Palin could draw “perhaps dozens” (which, of course, was closer to 10,000) of people to a town with a population of 798 – yes, seven hundred and ninety-eight people. Wow.
Andrew chronicled the Harry Reid supporters who egged the Tea Party Express bus, threatened him, and tried to re-route the Tea Party Express bus & caravan in the wrong direction. Andrew also reminded David of his now $100,000.00 reward to ANYBODY who can provide video or audio proof positive that someone was spat upon or that the N-word was used toward ANY of the blacks that marched in the street after the healthcare reform bill passage.
Yeah, according to Al Sharpton, who appeared on Bill O’Reilly last night to talk about the alleged use of the N-word and spitting at the recent healthcare protests by the Tea Party and other opponents of this healthcare reform bill. As O’Reilly reminds the race pimp, Al Sharpton, you cannot paint an entire philosophy or group based on the alleged acts of a few loons. Here’s a partial transcript:
SHARPTON: Yes. But there is a difference in what Pitts is saying and in those that are talking about violence. I think what Pitts is saying and some of The New York Times writers are saying is that there is a racial component where people talk about take back our country. Who is our? You can’t deny…
O’REILLY: Well, our is them.
SHARPTON: Bill, you cannot deny there are some racial components in this.
O’REILLY: Hold it. Hold it.
SHARPTON: Does that make everybody a Tea Party racist? I don’t think…
O’REILLY: I am going to deny that. Here is what I’m going to deny. I’m going to deny that the Tea Party platform, the movement itself is based on race at all. It isn’t. What happens is, in any organization, including your own, you have nuts. You have loons. People who take it way too far who may be racist themselves. You cannot demonize any organization by the actions of a few in a demonstration. That’s insane.
They keep referring to Pitts, author Leonard Pitts, who penned an op-ed in The Miami Herald over the weekend saying any opposition of the healthcare reform was based solely in racism. So now we find out from Sharpton that saying “OUR country” is the new racist term.
If someone used the N-word directed at a black Congressman during the protest, why didn’t Jesse Jackson, Jr. capture it on one of his two flipcams?
In addition to Jackson, there’s another bystander in the red t-shirt who is AWFULLY close to the group marching. So why haven’t we seen HIS tape? Just askin’.
On Friday’s Your World With Neil Cavuto, his Common Sense segment was quite prescient. What’s at question here is the hypocrisy in the mainstream media when it comes to whackjob protestors on either side of the political spectrum. Someone allegedly used the n-word at the recent healthcare bill protests, and suddenly it’s ALL Tea Party patriots who act that way, yet when the violence and vitriol is directed at a conservative or Republican it gets scant coverage in the media? Really? Really?
Look, there are nuts in every bunch and both sides recognize that, but for the mainstream media to basically turn an un-fazed blind eye when it doesn’t suit their editorial needs is just pathetic. As Neil points out, there was even a movie made about the assassination of President Bush, which also used his face in the movie, and that gets a pass. But one whackadoodle allegedly uses the N-word at a protest, and suddenly EVERY protestor on the right is a racist homophobe who eats small children while wearing a Hitler costume.
They even accused Sarah Palin of encouraging tea partiers to shoot Democrat politicians simply because cross-hairs were used on a US map to show weak Democrat congressional districts, but anti-war protestors holding up a depiction of a beheaded George Bush is COMPLETELY okay, reasonable, and patriotic? The hypocrisy is mind-numbing to say the least.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
