Were 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.

I'm wondering if Chris Matthews or MSNBC ever commented on the "whiteness" or the "tribal aspect" of the left's anti-war protests?

I think you know the answer to that.

...and a sprinkling of Uncle Tom's.

The party of tolerance only tolerates its own.

Regarding white guy Matthews . . .

. . . a tribal village somewhere is missing an idiot.

too good

So true.

THE LIFELESS CAMPAIGN...

 Matthews only confirms what has become very clear, that it is liberal leftists see EVERYTHING through a racial filter, & for for all the wrong reasons. Matthews entire thought process is about group think/group politics. He is unalbe to understand the concept of the individual who thinks for themself.

I really am looking forward to the day this clown is out of the cablenews buisiness. He is a ratings loser, his books don't sell, he lacks the ability to interview anybody in a professional manner, & his on air behavior has been less then stellar. I can only hope that when the sale of NBC to Comcast goes through, Matthews is among the many at NBCnews to be sent packing.

jesse and al sharpton are

jesse and al sharpton are two of the biggest racists on the planet.  have you noticed that they only help black people and not white people?  by definition, they are racist and bad for society.

Can You Imagine

...A cover of a magazine featuring Al or Jesse with same line that Newsweek used to trash Sarah this week?  How long before liberals would have demanded a retraction?  Liberals are the most biased and openly selective party on this earth...but they want to be called tolerant....as in putting up with you until I exploit you, further my career, and then get the hell out of Dodge!

High Weird Factor

There sure are some weird dudes (and dudettes) in the anti-war pix links you shared.  In some (many) cases, I'm not sure their elevators make it to the top floors.

One valid critique to the Tea Party gatherings is they are denying folks jobs since the tend to pick up after themselves.  They often leaving the places they were at in better condition than when they arrived.

I hope Chrissy doesn't look

I hope Chrissy doesn't look at the pictures in the links provided here.  All those facts might make his empty widdle head go "BOOM!"

As one of the Tea party

As one of the Tea party members, exactly what the hell is the point Matthews is trying to make?   What exactly does this knucklehead want us to do?  Beg folks to come join us?  Promise something for nothing for joining us like the party Matthews represents?  If someone hasn't got the sense to see what we Tea Party members are trying to do, and have accomplished, then there's no convincing them. We are not obligated to beg anyone to come along, but if you do come along, you'll be welcomed. Other then that we don't owe anybody anything. 

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Didn't you know?  It's not

Didn't you know?  It's not a quorum if you don't have at least 3.5 token minorities on hand.  It's in the liberal handbook.

Looks like Gamorrah

I have one thing to say to the "Breast Not Bomb" participants....keep your shirts on!

I was thinking the exact same thing...

You should go back and read about Sodom & Gamorrah. You will be astounded how the "in-your-face", violent, uncontrollable base behavior exhibited in that day is the same behavior you see exhibited here. (Genesis 19)

Projection

It's called projection.  People like matthews declare someone they don't like has all the negative traits that matthews himself habors.  It makes him feel better.  Quite frankly, its the only way he can live with himself. Otherwise he would have to face the truth that he is a loser.  The kind of guy nobody wants to talk to or be seen with.  It's tough when you're a dumb a**.

Good God...

Every sick and vile wretch out of hell seems to be aligned with the liberal ideology. Is this our future? This twisted and perverse debauchery? Is this what we want? Is this what we want to leave our kids?

America has decided to turn her back on the corruption, the enabling of a somewhat comfortable squalor in the cities, the thief on the throne . . . everything.

I just watched Hannity with Hannah Giles, Andrew Breitbart, and James O'Keefe.  I was awakened to the realization that even in the bright light of taped evidence, Attorney General Holder and California's Jerry Brown will not investigate.  Even when the investigation has already been done for them.

We partook of an evil curse upon ourselves.  52% of us voted for a man who shouted "AMEN" while his high priest of black hatred begged God to damn America.

Daily we see the corruption of this Administration, with new maggots slithering out, Glenn Beck points the finger at them, and they only turn back into the gangrenous limb to gorge some more.

We sold out Poland on Sept. 17th, withdrew our promise to build a missile shield on the 70th anniversary of Russia's invasion of Poland.

We have no friends.  Our leader bows deeply before the son of Hirohito, and the brave soldiers who fought his daddy haven't even died yet.

And we blog.

Thanks Cool

Here I am beginning a well deserved vacation*, and here you make this poignant post and make me think. Damn you!!! ;)

*For you liberals, vacation is a benefit you receive from an employer when you have a job wherein said employer agrees to...oh never mind.

Cool Arrow---

The longest post I have ever seen from you.

So true, so sad.

I am afraid that towards the end, those of us who think alike will be gathered in small enclaves throughout fly-over-country, clinging to our guns, and our religion.

That is not how I wish it to be; but I shall repel all boarders to protect me and mine.

Speaking of anti-war

Speaking of anti-war protests, has any been conducted since Obama was inaugurated? It seems that the Iraq and Afghan wars have not changed much yet there are no street protests with signs comparing Obama to Hitler.

Curious, no?

Whoa...NSFW

Some of the liberal protest pics are NSFW.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Oh the liberal mindset...I'm protesting this, so let me show you my genitals.

Yes, one must wonder what

Yes, one must wonder what nudity has to do with combat?

Face it, our protestors are a better class of people than their protestors.  Simply do an analysis of:

  • a Ratio of facial tattoos.
  • Clothed versus naked.
  • Bathed versus unbathed
  • Shorn versus uncontrolled hair

Those ratios say it all.
