If you thought media coverage of the Aug. 28 "Restoring Honor" rally hosted in Washington D.C. by Fox News host Glenn Beck seemed like just another attack on conservatives, you're not alone. As noted by the Daily Caller's Jim Treacher, much of the coverage had a common thread: describing the crowd as "overwhelmingly white."

I hear ya. There are already enough myths about the guy.

As for the RP being reinvigorated, it’s true. Now, if it could just get back to Conservatism.

Of course Conservatism was reinvigorated as well, because now half our number doesn’t have to make excuses for non-Conservative policy when it’s implemented.

‘When a journalist writes ‘predominantly white’ they
are racist, probably ‘self-hating’;

Just doing what they were indoctrinated to do in college. All whites in college are indoctrinated to hate themselves for being white.

“Where non-whites banned? Were they unwelcome? The answer is a resounding no! So whose fault is it for their absence?”

So right.

In fact 95% of blacks voted for Obama. Why would they be at a rally protesting his style of government? It’s just hate driven propaganda to claim Tea Partiers are racist. Black’s aren’t protesting because by and large, they’re happy with the state of things.

Overwhelmingly white crowd at Beck rally = white racism.

Overwhelmingly black crowd at Sharpton rally = white racism.

See how it works?

“Overwhelmingly? I guess those same sources would say the USA is “overwhelming white.” And they would be correct. I wonder how many of these people “realize” the percentage of blacks in the entire population? It’s 12.9%.”

You can bet your last penny that some lib somewhere is doing a close up study of the crowd and counting the number of black faces in it to see if the percentage comes out to be 12.9 %

That’s a perfect comeback. Just say “Yeah, it’s about as white as a Unitarian church service.” Or “about as white as a Sierra Club meeting”, or “about as white as a Hollywood Democrat fundraiser”. Or, if it weren’t so wordy, “about as white as the gated neighborhoods where rich white liberals live”.

Just curiouis - did any of the State-run media point out that the Sharpton event (going on coincidentally) was predominantly BLACK?

Lord, how I have come to despise what our once great media has become.

What the MSM doesn't understand is that it's a lot easier to throw people away then to get them back...
