CNN Convicts Palin and Tea Partiers of ‘Inciting Violence’ and Stoking Racism
Newsbusters ^ | 28 March 2010 | Brent Baker

Posted on 03/28/2010 1:00:33 PM PDT by Lorianne

CNN put “INCITING VIOLENCE?” on screen under video of Sarah Palin earlier in the day Saturday in Searchlight, Nevada, as anchor Don Lemon announced:

Sarah Palin takes on one of the highest ranking Democrats right in his own backyard, all while causing another uproar by urging tea parties to quote “reload.” And the question is, are comments like that inciting violence and name-calling over the health care bill and the like?

In the subsequent segment, titled “DANGEROUS RHETORIC: When heated words incite threats & violence,” CNN’s panel agreed Obama’s political opponents are inciting violence and are motivated by racism -- undeterred by Palin’s assurance, which CNN played:

When I talk about it's not a time to retreat, it's a time to reload, what I'm talking about -- now, media, try to get this right, okay? That's not inciting violence. What that's doing is trying to inspire people to get involved in their local elections and these upcoming federal elections. It's telling people that their arms are their votes. It's not inciting violence. It's telling people, don't ever let anybody tell you to sit down and shut up, Americans.

Lemon demanded: “Is it responsible for someone to say that? Especially a leader, considering the anger that's going on right now?”

Seems to me the only incitement going on is against people excercising their free speech rights.

Funny how they had no issue showing Harry Reid firing a gun, I guess that doesn’t incite violence but Sarah using WORDS to say that Dems that voted for the bill should be fired, yeah that’s inciting violence. What a shock, CNN once again shows why the Cartoon Network is beating them in ratings

CNN accusing someone else of insighting violence and stocking racism. Now there’s a pot calling the kettle black.

Right - and Harry Reid shows up for a photo-op with his shaky old hands clutching a rifle.

and Obama warns about bringing a knife to a gun-fight.

Visual aids and subliminal threats.

This is well orchestrated. 0 got the message out. I’m signing this HC bill, and the best defense is a good offensive.

Only in a liberal mind is it irresponsible to incite people to get involved in local politics and vote.

I’m guessing more people will comment about it on this thread than actually saw it on CNN.

The only way to disarm the left's attack against harsh words it to embrace them.

"That's right, targeting," or "That's right, shedding blood for freedom" advance the cause of liberty much more so than does: "Well, of course I didn't mean... and I would never.."

It looks like the state-controlled media have already started their propaganda machine in broad daylight.

They are fueled by hatred that is coming out more boldly and openly than when Ronald Reagen was in office! The MSM has been demonizing Sarah Palin from day one. It is so open and obvious what it is that they are doing. What happened to responsible journalism?

I would rather see an even handed discussion of the substance of Sarah Palin's rhetoric in the arena of ideas. But the Marxists have only one idea (control of the population via socialism and communism) that they have to mask. Because they have nothing to offer, they practice character assassination.

It bears repeating: “The left regards dissent as hate speech”

Such a regard draws a clear line in the sand. The challenge to us, given the left owns the MSM, is to effectively counter that view.

The challenge to us, given the left owns the MSM, is to develop the means to effectively counter that view.
