CNN's efforts to smear Obama critics as racist gained visibility on Monday's Situation Room when the usually more sensible Wolf Blitzer, with “RACIAL TINGE TO TEA MOVEMENT” as the on-screen heading, set up a story on how, “most disturbing,” within the tea party crowds there's “a very small but vocal minority, they're targeting President Obama's race.” Though reporter Elaine Quijano said “we have to emphasize by far most tea party protesters are not casting their arguments in what could be seen as a racial light,” she nonetheless proceeded to treat as newsworthy how “a small but passionate minority is also voicing what some see as racist rhetoric.”
In decrying the racism, CNN gave national cable air time to what she described as a “controversial image that's been circulating on the Web since July,” a “doctored image circulating on the Internet and even some protesters signs like this one in Brighton, Michigan, portraying President Obama as a witch doctor.” Brighton, Michigan? So, not at the more newsworthy big national event Saturday in DC I presume.

This is a dangerous road for the libs to go down, if it backfires on them and there is a good chance it will... it will be brutal
*BINGO*
We have a winner, it’s Brother Pissant!
Was on Charlie Gibson this way too. Hate speech can turn into hate crimes. They are afraid for the presidents life. We know better than that Charlie, we don’t want a martyr....
Are we seeing the beginnings of a change whereby its no longer sufficient for the DNC to be giving talking points to the Enemedia (formerly MSM), but into a new phase where the Enemedia is trying to give talking points to their viewership?
So- does this mean CNN is trying to out-do MSNBC?
This is dangerous and incendiary.
Does anyone even watch CNN anymore? I guess only the communists.
JoMa
Yep, you nailed, the president is a racist.
Very Dangerous indeed.
Marxists love blood in the streets.
They have to divide people to do it. We can’t take their bait.
“there’s ‘a very small but vocal minority, they’re targeting President Obama’s race.’”
There’s a very small but voal racist minority in the Democrat party, too. Especially the old ones, who can remember what the party used to stand for (at least in the South). Why don’t you ever report on them, hmmmm?
Yep. Sat in the front row for 20+ years as his “preacher” shouted “f*** Whitey” and “God damn America” smiling, laughing,”praying” and saying “right on, rev”.
It’s like water off a duck. The JessieJackoff race card wore out its usefulness about 25 years ago.
Obama and his excesses are cleaning the wax out of dumb cracker’s ears.
unintended consequences come home to roost as they say
These people are @$$holes that just happen to be black. I'm mad at Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Barbara Boxer, and Dianne Feinstein as well, and they're all pale white.
“This is a dangerous road for the libs to go down...”
Yup. This is the talking point that has been disseminated by Axelrod and Emmanuel to all the networks and media.
They do coordinate btw.
The blowback is going to be severe.
People, in the main, are fairminded and view what’s occurring as opposition to policies.
When the left tars everyone as racist which is what they are doing, it is going to blow.
The same tactics that have been used for 40 years will not work now. They don’t know it yet. They will soon.
Well I personally thing their is a “racial tinge” to 98% of blacks voting for Obama ove McCain...
The only people I’ve heard even utter a peep about race are the media and Obama’s lemmings.
The race card is the oldest trick in the book.
Krauthammer just nailed it on Fox: charges of racism are a sign that the libs know they are losing the debate ... the charge is expected to end the debate ... in his previous occupation (psychiatrist) Charles said that people who heard voices (like MoDo) were known as “patients” and they were often helped with medication ...
“Wolf Blitzer, with “RACIAL TINGE TO TEA MOVEMENT”
You Marxists traitors are getting very desperate, aren’t you? You’ve used this BS term so much, it means nothing. Like throwing a tennis ball at a brick wall...just bounces off.
Blitzer, you’re a traitor and a propaganda hack for Marxists. When it all shakes down, you won’t be forgotten.
