Why is Fox pushing so hard this AM to marginalize dissenting Americans?
Hemmer/MacCullum pushing the OK City Bombing.
Over the past 15 years I only remember blips about memorial ceremonies. Same with 9-11 memorial services.
Now all of a sudden the msm is trying to propagandize the dissent of Today with the Islamofascist terrorist and the McVeigh bombing.
Everyone involved with the TPM should voice their outrage at the obvious attempt to slander the TPM.
Did we see one for Waco?
Great thank you very much for great insights.
Or the Columbine shooting?
Jeremiah Wright would say “the chickens came home to roost”. But then he’s a racist hatemonger.
Yes but I didn’t need it shoved in my face this Monday.
Oh yeah, NBC is pushing the EARTH DAY BS all week.
Just change the title to this posting and you will know how I feel about that too.
The same media that tells us the "Red Scare" was a partisan witchhunt are trying to sell this lie about conservatives. It is PURE partisan hysteria driven by Communist Sympathizers.
Down is up. We are living in an Orwellian nightmare.
Again, who cares? Do you equate that with the death of 168 Americans? Is it probably hard for the media to get access to Elian today? There is more to cover about where Oklahoma City is today than there would be about where a boy you can’t get access to is today.
How hard is it to see that 5 year anniversaries of major events get more coverage than the other ones? Do you think the coverage of the 9-11 anniversary will be bigger this year or next?
“Not everything revolves around the Tea Party movement 24/7.”
Your joking right?
The Dums are staying awake nights trying to figure out a way to stop the dissent.
I wonder what the Russians were thinking with that red lightening bolt motif. Is this an actual photo of the tomb?
It’ll be interesting to see how Barack handles the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, how he responds to the Truther movement (he calls out Birthers as such, so he’d better address this), and whether or not he will have Jeremiah Wright officiate the prayer or if he’ll have an Imam from CAIR do it instead.
It was INSANE for the White House to be involved in sending troops in to seize a child at gunpoint to send him to a Communist dictatorship. If you don’t see it as a big deal, then I can’t convince you.
50million dead babies from abortion are a bigger tragedy than the horror of OKC. It’s even greater than 20million dead under Stalin.
Are we going to get into a discussion of landmark anniversaries or levels of tragedy?
Bill Clinton gave the game away last week. It’s anti-conservative.
The communist sympathizers in the Green/Red movement need to own up to this waste of resources (IF we truly are “killing the planet” by setting our thermostats to 72 degrees).
AH yes...the VRWC is back. To Bubba: didn’t work then...will not work NOW.
1. 15 year anniversary (multple of 5)
2. Diverts attention from
. a. Waco anniversary
. b. Patriots Day in New England
. c. Lexington, MA 1775 shot “heard round the world” / Tea Party
3. Attempt to connect McVeigh to Tea Party. The connection doesn’t exist and is a media fabrication (and a weak one at that).
No, I’m just pointing out that when making decisions about what and how to cover things there are practical concerns.
There is a lot to cover about the OKC bombing. There isn’t a lot you can do with Elian Gonzales. Big deal or not, other than a blurb about it being the anniversary what can be done unless Cuba lets you in to talk to him?
Abortion is way to divisive for any major news organization to cover as a tragedy. What Stalin did isn’t exactly local.
It isn’t just about the tragedy, but the interest people have in it. That is why, the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s suicide made news last year, but not this year. Where his daughter was, the other members of Nirvana, the effect Nirvana still has on music. Those things give you something to cover and stuff people would be interested in, even if not most on FR. There is stuff to cover in OKC. That people think this wouldn’t be happening regardless of the Tea Party movement isn’t accurate.
Yep all apply.
I hate when tragedies are use for political purposes.
Thus my anger.
