Barnicle Bemoaned Police Militarization, Now Calling for National Guard?

Posted on 07/10/2015 5:20:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What does it say about Mike Barnicle that, in a discussion of the jump in inner-city crime, Al Sharpton sounded a lot more reasonable than the former Boston Globe columnist?

On today's Morning Joe, Sharpton almost echoed the NRA's famous "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Said Sharpton: "people, because guns are there don't make you get up and shoot." But there was the blathering Barnicle--who during the Ferguson debate had bemoaned the militarization of police--seeming to condemn the absence of the National Guard in the inner cities.

Blithering Barnicle blathers on.

If National Guard were sent into inner cities, Mikey would be among first to condemn it.

Ping to Today show list.

Behold the Leftist: the narrative of the day changes to fit the situation.

To the operatives in the Media, Ferguson (even Watertown) are down the memory hole (Dude, that was like months ago).

Is there actually a “Today Show List”?

I suspect that homicide rates would be lower in the inner cities if it weren’t for Obama and the democrats keeping inner city people in a constant state of rage.

As the creator of the list, permit me to explain. It’s really an historic relic. I got my start 15 years ago doing vanity posts about Katie Couric and Gumbel on Today. 10 years ago, I was invited to blog at NewsBusters, and kept the same list name.

Perhaps I should change the name to “liberal media bias criticism list.”

We call it hypocrisy........Leftists simply call it ‘evolving’.......unles it’s a Republican changing his/her stance.....then it’s lying and flip-flopping.

Perhaps inner-city crime is up because the perps believe they are entitled to it now that some cities seem to have allowed it?
