Blaming Joe Wilson for Kanye West? Try Van Jones

MSNBC’s perpetual outrage campaign against Rep. Joe Wilson continued apace last night. In the clear-minded analysis that comes only from reading Democratic talking points, at least two of the network’s hosts blamed the South Carolina Congressman for the actions of Kanye West and Serena Williams. On MSNBC’s Countdown, David Shuster (filling in for Keith Olbermann) related the two events, saying, “Look at what you started. Way to go, Joe!” Rachel Maddow, surveying the same “holy mackerel” stories, claimed “Joe Wilson got the ball rolling” on uncivilized behavior. “What hath Joe Wilson wrought? The upsurge in public rudeness.”

In reality, tennis players have been threatening judges for 30 years, and Kanye West has a history of publicly airing racial conspiracy theories. If he keeps it up, Valerie Jarrett may recruit him to the White House. Behavior like West’s comes about because left-wingers have spent 30 years rewarding obnoxious outbursts and insane accusations, from Ward Churchill to Van Jones. At the risk of introducing some common sense, let’s take a photographic Rorschach test and ask ourselves who would be more likely to encourage rude behavior:

Who is more likely to interrupt a public official? This lady:

…or this one?

Would we be more likely to hear personal epithets and coarse language if we hung out here:

or here?

Should we be more offended by this sign:

BushIsTheDiseaseDeathIsTheC

…or this one?

Remember the Avis car rental commercial? We Try Harder!

MsNBC doesn’t need to try harder. They already are number two.

If this is the best that MSNBC, David Shuster and the Hollywood Idiot crown can come up with, there is more than just hope for a real change in 2010.

If this is the kind of drivel that passes for news or editorial commentary on MSNBC no wonder virtually no one watches that channel. If idiots babble and no one is listening does it matter?

Absolutely! Consider who was elected (and our state Representatives!)

I don't know why but this song IMMEDIATELY popped into my head...

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le, In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.

Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.

Now I'll be humming it all darn day.
and I'm not that Crazy about the Wizard of Oz either!

Van Jones became a revolutionary communist following the 1992 L.A./Rodney King Riots (58 dead)
various sources

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

The St Louis NAACP took to blaming the racially motivated attack against a lone white boy by a large group of blacks on a bus on Joe as well.
