No Bias Zone: 'Journalist' Calls Tea Parties 'Right-Wing Bloodfeasts'
Publius Forum ^ | 07/31/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 07/31/2010 12:08:35 PM PDT by Mobile Vulgus

One of my early blogging assignments was the media bias beat over at Newsbusters, so I became particularly attuned to picking up on how the Old Media toes that "unbiased" journalistic line. Unfortunately, in sometimes subtle ways their rhetoric is geared to smear Republicans in any way possible.

Here is a perfect example. Last week in a a Chicago-based report on Illinois Republican Gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady, NBC Chicago's Edward McClelland described suburban tea party events as "right-wing bloodfeasts."

Catch this unbiased reporting...

This is a great example of how the Old Media spins and twists things to aid the left.

This retarded over-the-top sh** works against you though when it doesn’t come true, and especially when everything the Tea Party’s are warning about does come true.

Let the loon nuts vomit their stuff, it ain’t helping them whatsoever.

Because their view of things gets amplified and disseminated to vast majorities of the population, most of whom have never been to a Tea Party event, and who don’t know what a huge pile of dog puke this “Journalist’s” output is.

From the article he refers to:

“As for the company Brady keeps Downstate, he shared the bill with Beverly Perlson, organizer of Band of Mothers , a soliders’ support group. Fine. But Perlson once carried an “Al Qaeda Loves Nancy Pelosi” sign at a Washington, D.C., protest, and she told the News-Tribune that Obama is “going around the country and telling everyone we are not a Christian nation.”

“That’s something that’s very important to me. And I’ve said before that one of the great strengths of the United States is - although as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” - Barack Obama

Communists “journalists” are becoming more and more desperate as they watch Americans out there bringing the dream of a communist America to a screeching halt. The journalists are writing all kinds of insane drivel in their deperate attempts to revive communism.

Amazingly, these people are not trying to fire up the TEA party movement, they are trying to fire up the leftist hate groups, i.e. NBPP, NAACP, SEIU, etc.

They want these groups - the only ones stupid enough to fall for this crap - to be really angry and attend the TPM rallies with the full intention of starting trouble.

They are trying to make their false accusations come true, that's all.

It's what the MSM wants, hell...it's what obama wants...

Tea Haters

Never heard the term before. What the hell is a bloodfeast? Wasn’t that something in the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”?

Additionally, one wonders if old Eddie McClelland of Chicago’s NBC ever called an anti-war protest a “left-wing screamfeast,” or an anti-WTO rally a “left-wing commiefeast”?

One would doubt the possibility, of course.

This is the sort of underhanded rhetoric the Old Media uses in every market across the country as well as the national scene to come to the support of Democrats and to try to undermine the political right.

Warner Todd Huston writes a strong truth against the Journolister and MSM mentality. Thanks Warner - where ever you are...

The only reason to care what any of these journolistas think about us is to consider their motives.

For example, what is the practical purpose of convincing yourself that your opponent is not merely mistaken or misled, but is instead: an evil, bloodthirsty monster that needs to be destroyed?

Let that thought settle in for a minute. Now: what action or actions are they attempting to justify in advance?

the MSM only talks to the MSM.

they only read the NYT, LATimes, and news section of the WSJ (most liberal of all). they only watch CNN and MSNBC and BBC.

they are all the same all the montage all the journ-o-list.

We need to publicly ridicule every chance we get, and with no apologies whatsoever.

Brady attended a Tea Party in Oglesby on Tuesday night. Like most of the right-wing bloodfeasts he holds south of I-80, it wasn’t reported on in the Chicago media. One of Brady’s biggest challenges as a candidate is to balance his native conservatism with a message that will sell across the entire state.

At least this dotard is semi-honest about this. This is how they promoted Blagojevich and the democrats- they simply assumed that they were the only candidates and ignored all opposition, except to occasionally label them as 'outside the mainstream fringe right wingers' or something of the sort. Not the kind of 'message' an NBC affiliate wants to help 'sell across the entire state'. From now until November it's all democrat, all the time, in the TV markets that count.

True, we have Buddhists in America; we have Hindus in America; we have Muslims in America. However, the philosophy of the Buddha contributed nothing to American laws, customs, or culture. Hinduism contributed nothing to American laws, customs, or culture. Sharia contributed nothing to American laws, customs or culture (thank God!). Like it or not, the laws, customs and culture of America are directly derived from Christianity, and ultimately from Judaism. No non-Christian culture ever came up with the idea of the equality of all people, nor with the idea that there is a Power higher than the government. When we lose that, we've lost America.

I don't know either, so we both must have missed out on the last emailing of code-language translations.

They are painting conservatives as "the other" - in order to justify killing us.

“They are painting conservatives as “the other” - in order to justify killing us.”

I’m not alone in my thinking...
