MURDOCH APOLOGIZES, RACE BAITERS GAIN GROUND
Roman Around ^ | 24 February 2009 | Andrew Roman

i'm sorry ... so sorry

Earlier this morning, CNN had a link to my blog - specifically to an article I "penned" called "Race Baiter On The Attack." It was part of their "From The Blogs" section, underneath an article about Rupert Murdoch's apology for publishing a cartoon deemed "offensive" by race-baiters and victimized societal dinosaurs.

My "inbox" and I may never be on speaking terms again.

After the ruckus of what should've been less than a non-story, it indeed, may be time to resurrect and redefine the term "yellow journalism." Fear, intimidation, apology and appeasement are becoming the cornerstones of today's free press. The mainstream media exists almost entirely to reinforce the protective cocoon that surrounds Barack Obama. The Messiah is, for now, untouchable, and any reference to anything that could even appear critical is roundly disposed with.

Let's be truthful ... if anyone other than Obama - and I mean anyone - got up in front of the media and said that federal spending is out of control and needed to be tamed after signing a nearly one trillion dollar porkfest into law, they'd be skewered (and rightly so) by every journalist, pundit, blogger, talk-show host, cab driver and columnist in creation.

The "objective" American press is a disgrace.

I was disappointed - but not surprised - to see that Robert Murdoch, owner of the New York Post (NewsCorp), felt it necessary to issue yet another apology for the now infamous dead-chimp cartoon published last week that some took as a racial attack on the President. Never have so many been so outraged over so little. It is at the same time stunning and embarrassing.

The paper already apologized for this, you may recall ...

The AG’s comments were designed to do just this. Make us all a little more “guilty” and “embarrassed” to be white. It takes a lot of doing to get us “honkey’s” to accept equal distribution of wealth and retributions.

Not true. The media loves this kind of spending regardless of who does it. It is just so much more enjoyable for them that their savior Obama is the one to do it.

DITTOS! I've been trying to wrap my head around this also. It makes absolutely no sense. And now Obama is expected to tell us tonight that we will all need to sacrifice more.

Political Correctness:
”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.
Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization — if it hasn’t already.

It was stupid to apologize for something that wasn’t racist.

Anything a conservative says or does, or doesn’t say or do, is subject to being called racist.

A chimp is just a chimp, as time goes by.
