bill o’reilly... hmmm... is he the guy that had phone sex with an employee and sexually harassed her and settled out of court for 1.5 million dollars to keep the story from being made into abc’s movie of the week? I seem to remember something about a loofah sponge too.

"Scaring white people is good politics on the conservative side of the spectrum, and it always has been. The idea is that you sort of rile up the white base to be afraid of an other, to be afraid of scary immigrants or scary black people..."

The only problem with the bull dyke's theory is that the "scary black" is not some figment of voters imagination.

The fact is, the New Black Panthers get away with thuggish behavior, and Eric Holder and Hussein Obama smile and applaud.

Until they address this crime, they can expect to be reminded about it 1,096,246 times.

Consider this: If Obama was being worked over the way President Bush was by the establishment media, his job approval rating would probably be in the 20 percent range.

Nah. It would be much lower than that.

The left always divides people by color. They don't care much for black people.
They've been trying to "help" them for years buy fighting FOR slavery during Lincoln, filibustering AGAINST civil rights, and keeping blacks locked up in impoverished, inner city cages begging for government cheese today. If they could torture the blacks even more, I'm sure they would! And Lord knows they drool at the thought of slaughtering their unborn babies.

There was a skit on SNL years ago where the primise was a super-cheery local "Good Morning" type of show. Will Ferrell was one of the participants, along with two females (one of whom, I believe, was Jan Hooks). The show is going along nicely, with pre-scripted vapid banter, when suddenly the telepropmter quits. The "personalities" don't know what to do. They become increasingly desperate. They start blithering. As they become more and more inane, the Will Ferrell character starts to stare fixedly into the camera and, as if in a trance, as if controlled by outside forces, begins to call for all white people to arm themselves and to down into the black neighborhoods of the city and...

And at that point the teleprompter comes back on line, and they settle down and go back to the script as if nothing had happened.

I believe that sums up what the liberal management of the SRM believes "ordinary Americans" would do, would call for, if they were allowed to say what they are really thinking on a mass media venue. This is one reason (they believe) that on-air talent must be carefully vetted for political correctness, baked in at the organic, subconcious level.

They fear this because they know that just one incident of this type could lead to an FCC takeover of all the networks, which of course is an existential concern to them (and so is understandable, at least to some extent).

They project this fear onto FOX News. Partly it's because FOX is beating the crap out of them in ratings. Partly it's because they think that their goals and priorities should be the goals and priorities of the universe. They are so confident that they are on the true side of right in the great struggle between right and wrong (which, oddly, many of them profess not to believe in) that they think a threat to their world-view is a threat to civilization itself. This, in turn, is because they live in an echo-chamber where only a very monolithic view of life is acceptable. That view of life comes down to this: the lowest common denominator is the guiding standard in all content decisions. Of course, when it comes to their personal compensation levels, perks, choice of friends, etc., the "lowest common denominator" is the farthest thing from their minds.

This is not hypocritical, of course, because they so ernestly take the side of the lowest common denominator in their "on-screen" personas. This is such a noble gesture on their part that they deserve a pass on all contradictions between the lives they lead on a personal level and what they call for for everyone else.

Lefties didn’t think there was anything wrong when 0bambi’s approval numbers were unnaturally high in the beginning for no reason at all except for a cult-like adoration, but now that he’s completely F-ed everything up and we can actually judge his performance, the lefties are amazed that they can be so low.

If the media actually did it’s job and reported the REAL black on white crime rates (reported by many non-partisan groups) that exist in this country, America would be very nervous about black culture.

The unreported and denial of black on white crime is media racism at its finest.

You have to be really whacked-liberal to think that MS Fox News is “conservative”.

MS Fox News is really not much different from the other cable channels now....they hate Birthers, they like Illegal Aliens, they coddle Islamic Terrorists...heck MS Fox News is the only news channel partially owned by a supporter of Islamic Terrorism

David Letterman is a liberal kind of guy, and like many on the left, old Dave is kind of frustrated these days.

As the Stomach Turns, brought to you by milquetoast the breakfast of champions.

This is really a case of "projection" in the psychological sense: believing (accusing) others of doing what you are doing yourself.

To wit:

"Scaring white people is good politics on the conservative side of the spectrum, and it always has been. The idea is that you sort of rile up the white base to be afraid of an other, to be afraid of scary immigrants or scary black people..." - Rachel Maddow

"These people are continuing to fan this flame and ... that is cancer." - David Letterman

“Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.” - Mary Frances Berry (Source

"The only people Fox News is scaring are far-left loons"

What really scares these people is truth.

Speaking of scaring the public:

What about all those "Global Warming" nutcases who have saturated all media available with propaganda designed to cause panic?

And what about the endless Democrat Party propaganda designed to scare--e.g. "The Republicans want to take away your social security!"???

And what about all the accusations of "Racism" launched by Leftists against anyone who opposes them or their agenda?

And what about all the accusations of "Greed!" launched by Leftists--who fly around in jet planes and otherwise live lavish lives at the taxpayers' expense--accusations designed to alarm and scare the public--and to divert attention away from their own obscene greed?

The Left is so suffused with mendacity that Leftists have lost the ability to be honest or to know truth when it stares them in the face--not that they would want to in the first place, pleased as they are with the usefulness of mendacity--and the usefulness of scare tactics.
