This was a great compilation for the Media Research Center. Subjects included the BP oil spill, Helen Thomas, winning female political candidates, PBS, radical “Christianity” according to Tavis Smiley, the Israeli flotilla incident, all things “Bush’s Fault,” Arianna Huffington, the dark overlords a.k.a. “Boooooosh-Cheney,” the Gore breakup, Sarah Palin, Islam, and more.
Bozell’s job is just too easy, ya know? LOL @ the MSM.
The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress. Tea Party activists in Tampa and St. Louis were beaten by left wing activists earlier this year. Add Greensboro to that list. This week, a group of local citizens in North Carolina protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment were accosted and then physically attacked by a left-wing activist who blamed George Bush for America’s ills. Here is the video:
Like a bad cold it can’t shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history.
The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP’s bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That’s why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum.

On This Week yesterday, the round table was woefully inadequate on the left (which isn’t saying much), when they pitted Arianna Huffington and Markos Moulitsas against Liz Cheney and George Will. That’s like pairing a AAA team with the Yankees. Nice job, Tapper.
The Daily Kos kid handler, Markos, and HuffPo’s leader, Arianna, tried their best to blame everything that’s happening in the Gulf (and on Wall Street) on “Booosh-Cheney,” but they weren’t very successful.
Sparks flew on our powerhouse roundtable this morning as Liz Cheney, a former Bush administration official, and Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post, sparred over who was ultimately responsible for the conditions that led to the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
“The truth is,” Huffington said, “that right now we have precisely the regulatory system that the Bush-Cheney administration wanted: full of loopholes, full of cronies and lobbyists filling the very agencies they are supposed to be overseeing the industry.”
“So,” George Will asked, “it’s Bush’s fault? Just clear this up.”
“It is absolutely, a thousand percent Bush-Cheney’s fault,” Huffington said.
“Ahh,” Will sighed.
“I actually heard that George Bush was responsible for the breakup of Tipper and Al Gore’s marriage too,” Liz Cheney said sarcastically. “I mean it’s incredible the extent to which people are now trying to shift blame.”
“You gotta look at the facts,” Cheney said. “For years you have been demonizing Bush and Cheney and I’m sure you will continue to demonize them for years going forward, but we have got now a catastrophe on the Gulf Coast…that happened on this administration’s watch, which this administration is failing to clean up,” she said, adding that President Obama was failing to show leadership on the oil spill.
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.
I’m going to let this video speak for itself. Michelle is on to promote her book, “Culture of Corruption.” I’d like to see Tanya Reiman read this panel’s body language. Joy is absolutely apoplectic, and Sherri struggles to speak intelligently.
