Kathleen McKinley's blogWere There 'Tribal Aspects' To The Anti War Protests?As Noel Sheppard pointed out in an earlier post at Newsbusters, Chris Matthews once again accuses the Tea Party goers of being too white:
"This is a largely white -- almost no minorities in this crowd," reported MSNBC's O'Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, "Well, they look like a white crowd to me," later claiming, "I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people." Here are pics from the left's Code Pink's latest march on Washington D.C. I don't see ONE face of color. Go ahead and look through their photo stream back into the Bush years and the protests then. Still a sea of white faces. Here are a few anti war protest pics from that time when I pointed this out back in April. Let's compare. Here are anti-war protests (I warn you, they may be overtly white, but they are also overtly weird). Here are the Tea Party Protests. What Have We Come To When The President Slurs Those Who Disagree?The left has gotten a lot of "giggles" over the term "teabaggers" in describing Americans who attend the tea parties. For those of you who don't know, teabagging is a perverse sexual term. It is interesting to me that the left not only knew the term, but seemed very comfortable using it. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Those having the most fun have been CNN's Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and frequent guest pundit Ana Marie Cox. Last week I posted about tweeting with Ana marie Cox where she promised me she would stop using the term if I donated to a charity she was sponsoring for research in colon cancer in memory of Tony Snow. I donated $100 and was her top contributor. She thanked me and promised she would stop. She even asked if "teabaggist" would be cheating, and I said yes it would be. ABC News Forgets Someone On The Anniversary Of The Fall Of The Berlin WallThat's right. In a four page report from ABC News titled, "Tens of Thousands Celebrate 20th Anniversary of Berlin Wall's Collapse," Ronald Reagan is not even mentioned. Not once. And from what I have read, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't mention President Reagan, and neither did President Obama in his taped message. I hope I end up being wrong about that, but I kind of doubt that I am. Good grief. CNN Fact Checks Last Saturday's SNL Obama-Razzing SkitCan one even imagine CNN fact checking any of the skits SNL on President Bush or Sarah Palin?? Heaven forbid SNL finally make fun of President Obama. CNN couldn't help themselves. They actually fact checked the jokes. [Update, NBStaff, 10:35 am Eastern: Transcript of CNN segment added below.] The transcript of CNN’s “fact-checking” report, which aired 28 minutes into the 6 pm Eastern hour of Monday's Situation Room:
The Presidential Bigot?Frank Rich of the NYT has a piece titled "The Bigot's Last Hurrah" where he names all the usual conservative suspects who are against gay marriage. Rich blasts religious conservatives like Rick Warren, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin and their 'dismissive' views regarding gay marriage. He sees their "softening" on the issue as something new, when in reality it has always been their view to not alienate or condemn gays while at the same time being against gay marriage. He did forget one "bigot" though. Pres. Barack Obama. Pres. Barack Obama, like most of us conservatives (myself included), has said that he supports civil unions but is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said. "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." A Challenge for Sen. Arlen SpecterOn Thursday I interviewed Sen. John Cornyn, head of the National Republican Sentorial Committee. When I asked him about the NRSC running someone against Sen. Arlen Specter in 2010, given the anger many Republicans feel about Specter's vote on the stimulus bill, Cornyn's answer was basically that he would rather have someone voting with him 80% of the time, rather than a liberal Democrat who would vote with him 0% of the time. Well, it looks like Sen. Cornyn might be able to get someone who will vote with him more than 80% of the time. Former Congressman Pat Toomey, the current Club for Growth President, announced this morning on Bobby Gunther Walsh's 1-On-1 Show, WAEB, 790AM, that a Primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter is now 'back on the table." Given Specter's abysmal poll numbers in Pennsylvania right now, this is interesting, to say the least. On Sunday the Associated Press reported these words from Vice President Biden: A Workout For The MediaJust looking at the hypocrisy of the media. So what else is new? But sometimes you just have to point out the obvious. Christmas day the Washington Post slobbered (metaphorically speaking) all over it's front page about Obama's workout:
Now, if that doesn't make you wanna puke in your cornflakes, I don't know what would. The subtitle of the piece is "Gym Workouts Help Obama Carry the Weight of His Position." The WaPo just gushes about how wonderful it is that Obama stays in shape. Flashback to Pres. Bush's workouts and how the WaPo described them. Republicans Are Not Supposed To Use Satire?Anderson Cooper of CNN titles his recent post "RNC chair candidate sends out controversial Obama song." Why is is controversial to make fun of a liberal black columnist calling Obama "The Magic Negro?" It absolutely begs to be made fun of. It all started when Time's columnist David Ehrenstein wrote a piece titled "Obama the 'Magic Negro" back in March of '07. (You will notice that Anderson doesn't bother to link that column, which would have taken all of 10 seconds to find, to make it clear where the song came from). Paul Shanklin (known of his parody songs) then recorded a parody song as satire directed at the Times that played on Rush Limbaugh's show. Obama and Government Job CreationMedia sources seemed to be thrilled that Obama is promising to save or create millions of new jobs. The only problem is they seem to purposefully fail to mention that these will primarily be government jobs. From Libertarian Republican:
Who Is Using Race as an Issue?Peter Beinart at the Washington Post is afraid this Presidential campaign is going to be about race. He is warning Obama that it shouldn't be. It has been brought up though. But by whom? Here is what Beinart had to say:
On the pretext that Obama brought it up first? Excuse me? Obama did bring it up first. Obama was the one who threw "the chum" in the water. At a fundraiser in June here is what Obama said: The Truth In Sadr CityThe AP article as headlined in the Houston Chronicle: "Militiamen ambush drives back US patrol in Sadr City"
"The U.S. Military said 28 militamen were killed as the U.S. patrol pulled back."
"US troops kill 28 Mahdi fighters during Sadr City ambush"
Conservatives Have A 'Hate Based' Campaign Against Obama?Paul Waldman at The American Prospect blames conservatives for all of Obama's race problems.
Oh, it gets better:
What???!! A Positive Image for Women?Well, look no further than John McCain's daughter, Meghan. Meghan runs a delightful blog about her campaigning experiences called McCainBlogette. I have enjoyed her excellent pictures, video, and writings throughout the primaries. Meghan is a beautiful woman, so imagine my surprise when I read her most recent post where she discusses people who criticize her weight and body shape!:
You go girl! Obama Staffer Won't Be Bothered to Comment on Flag FlapLoneStarTimes brings us an update on the Cuban flag/Che Guevara controversy at the Obama volunteer office in Houston: "Maria Isabel, who volunteers for Barack Obama when she’s not lionizing communist murderers and advocating property rights, was on Fox 26 News again. Here’s the video, and here’s my rough transcript:"
Journalism 101 ContinuedThere is an update on the ongoing saga of the New York Times using an outspoken critic of Guantanamo to help write an article regarding prisoners held there. Andy Worthington, the writer, defends himself here. My last post for background here. It seems Mr. Worthington does not see his profound activism regarding Guantanamo as "outspoken." Writing a book about it called "The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison," doesn't promote a distinct outspoken point of view? Please. The Daily Kos defends Worthington in the idea that it is so mainstream to believe the way Worthington does about Guantanamo, that is silly to expect the New York Times to have to point out Worthington's bias. Journalism 101The New York Times ran a front-page story Tuesday critical of Guantanamo. The article described the case of an Afghan man who died in Guantanamo after five years' detention, allegedly on false charges of being a Taliban commander. It turns out the writer and co-author of the piece, Andy Worthington, was a well known critic of Guantanamo and of US policy. Now the paper's editors say they "were not aware" of the author's past writings on the subject. A Study In LiesRemember in 2006 when many leftwingers shouted with horror regarding a study that had found over 600,000 Iraqi civilians dead since the war began? I heard this number ad nauseum from my leftwing friends. The WashingtonPost included the number in this piece. Fox News quoted it with some skepticism. But CNN headlined it. Chris Matthews Slams HillaryYes, it was Chris Matthews:
I don't think I have ever seen such a harsh analysis of Hillary Clinton. Not from Sean Hannity. Not from Bill O'Reilly. Could the media be turning on Hillary? President Bush Seeks Peace at Mideast Peace ConferenceThe Los Angeles Times describes this meeting in a cautious manner: WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and its Israeli and Palestinian allies stepped gingerly toward a new round of formal Mideast peace talks Monday, expressing cautious optimism while lowering expectations for the conference. But The New York Times could not have painted a more anti-Bush picture, including giving President Clinton some subtle kudos: Nov. 26 — It might seem, after nearly seven years of deliberate detachment from Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, that President Bush has plunged into Middle Eastern diplomacy with Clintonesque energy. The article title says "Seeking a Mideast Path, Bush Offers a Nudge." A Nudge? How long did they search for a word that would define as little effort as possible? CNN Ignores Radical Islam in Story of D.C. Snipers
Investor's Business Daily reveals how CNN's one hour special, "The Minds of the D.C. Snipers," still makes no mention of the Islam connection despite the following evidence: "The jailhouse drawings of the younger sniper, Malvo, tell it all: • One sketch of Osama bin Laden exalts him as a "Servant of Allah." • A self-portrait of him and Muhammad is captioned: "We will kill them all. Jihad . . . Allah Akbar!" • A sketch of the burning Twin Towers has as its caption: "America did this. You were warned." |
