Flashback: In 2006, CNN's Roesgen Joked About Bush/Hitler Mask

Rarely is there as transparent an example of liberal media bias as the tantrum thrown by CNN's Susan Roesgen yesterday while "reporting" on a tea party, but the full extent of her bias only comes into light when you look back at her attitude toward anti-Bush protesters.

In video posted by Paul Chesser from yesterday's CNN broadcast, Roesgen harassed a man who had a sign in which Obama was portrayed as a fascist with a Hitler mustache. "Why be so hard on the President of the United States though with such an offensive message?" an indignant Roesgen hollered.

The answer to her “Aren't you delighted that you are getting “50 Billion Dollars in free money” questions was very simple....

“and since, to stay profitable, avoid bankruptcy and hire workers, corporations must pass on any tax increases on to consumers, so only working people, not companies pay taxes.... which taxpayers do you want to pay that 50 Billion Dollars back to the government.”

If one is going to be so biased and unprofessional, at least they should have enough dignity and self-respect not to be so crudely blatant and hypocritical. The "President Bush look-alike" that the "professional television journalist" had no problem with:

The disconnect is just huge between us and them. The very concept of a reporter (report the news, don’t try to make it yourself?!) cheerleading for a politician in the streets is an Obomination of the First Amendment to me.

Today it is shouting. Next will it be scuffling, then fisticuffs, and finally weapons? This is eerily like watching again the sequence of events that led to WWI. Alliances are made, lines are drawn, chips are placed on shoulders, dialogue fails, provocative events occur, and inevitable violent outcomes ensue.

Glenn Beck was talking the other day about what happens when people feel they have nothing more to lose. So I ask you, when you even just feel disenfranchised, you feel your liberties and rights are being stripped away, and the fortunes of your life’s work certainly have evaporated because of governmental action and inaction, where does that leave you? People with nothing to lose and everything to gain become revolutionaries.

Ach, so what? If you’re a Christian, you can’t help but wonder if we are not in the End Times. And if we are, it is just part of The Plan and nothing for us to personally worry about, not even for our children. They can strip away everything but not our faith, can they? For most people I know, this stuff only makes faith stronger.
