Nets Lead with ‘Ugly and Menacing’ ObamaCare Opponents Fueled by Palin’s ‘Violent Words and Imagery'
newsbusters.org ^ | 3-25-10 | Brent Baker

Sounding more like MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann than impartial newscasts, ABC, CBS and NBC all led Wednesday night by legitimizing Democratic talking points meant to discredit critics of the just-passed health care bill. “Opposition to health care turns menacing,” ABC’s Diane Sawyer warned. CBS teased with audio clips -- “Baby-murdering scumbag,”“You are a dirtbag” and “I hope you die” -- as fill-in anchor Maggie Rodriguez cited “threats of violence against Democrats who voted for health care reform, even as public support for the plan is growing.”

On NBC, Brian Williams teased: “It's getting ugly as anger over health care reform erupts into some over-the-top rhetoric, including threats now against members of Congress.” He opened by declaring: “It can now be said that the debate over health care reform has gone too far. It's now veered into threats of violence.” Reporter Kelly O’Donnell relayed how “Democrats accuse Republicans of stirring a hostile mood” before Savannah Guthrie rued “Washington's epic 14-month battle over health care has exposed an angry side of America.” She recounted:

Wrapped around the brick that smashed the door of Democratic party headquarters in Rochester, New York, a note with the Barry Goldwater quote: ‘Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.’ On Twitter, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told followers, ‘Don't retreat, reload.’ While an Alabama man advocated armed uprising....At a conservative Tea Party protest at the Capitol this weekend, some demonstrators hurled racially and sexually-charged insults at members of the Congress.

CBS’s Nancy Cordes dutifully reported “Democrats accuse their GOP colleagues of inciting such acts with inflammatory rhetoric” as “Democrats complain Sarah Palin is also using violent words and imagery. On Twitter, she urges conservatives: ‘Don't retreat. Instead, reload.’ And the Web site of her political action committee posts bull's-eyes on districts of vulnerable Democrats.”

www.zombietime.com is a great resource.

BTW, did the MSM mention Palin’s church was torched by an arsonist?

Did they mention Sandra Bernhard threatening to have her “black brothers” gang rape Sarah Palin?

Did they mention the “Terry Tate” ad showing the fictional linebacker tackling Sarah Palin and knocking her silly?

They forgot to add that the threats were coming from thier own, paid for, supporters or disgruntled followers. If we are the majority than lets boycott ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN. Time for a payback!

The russian Czars used agents provacateurs quite effectively, russia under the communists as well. The Dutch lunatic who burned the Reichstag was certainly effectively used in a civilized nation by Hitlers Socialist Party.
So what is new here?

Obama said “bring it on”. Be careful what you ask for. Let’s kill them. Their Congressional careers that is. Turn every last one of them out.

” Ann Curry this AM incorrectly said a gas line “to the house” of a Congressman’s brother had been cut. It was a line to a frikkin’ BBQ grill, was it not? “

Yes-the media made it out to be a potential Oklahoma City.
When in fact, it was not a natural gas line leading into the house , but, the line from the Blue Rhino tank to the Char Broil grill that was allegedly cut.

” Tuesday evening, Perriello’s brother’s family smelled gas and discovered the propane line of a gas-powered grill on their screened-in porch had been slashed. “

I found this today :
” An additional industry standard (adopted in 1995 at the urging of CPSC) provided for several safety features in the gas grills,
hoses, and connections.
The safety standard calls for a device to limit the flow of gas if the hose ruptures;...”

The media is guilty of journalistic malpractice and reprehensible and irresponsible behavior.
Like shouting fire in a crowded theater.
We have 19 yr olds fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq while the Democrats are running around screeching and hyperventilating like women who have just seen a mouse.

It's not the News, it's who reports the News.

Remember Stalin, It's not the vote, it's who counts the vote.

With a Libtard Media like this, the November Elections are no shoe in.

Ignorance and Propaganda are a Democrat's friend.

Have you ever seen that picture of the three Palin haters wearing tee shirts with a four letter word on it - a word that begins with a “c” and refers to a part of the female anatomy? That was the most disgraceful thing that I have ever seen in American politics. You can be sure that if a Democrat woman candidate was subjected to that type of misogynist abuse the media would have picked up on it. It would have been all over the msm and they would still be talking about it two years later. I don't know how some of these media people can think of themselves as professionals.

Thank you for finding this photo. I saw this picture a few years back. Of course, the msm was totally oblivious to it.

If I recall correctly, some MSM punk said something like “attacking Palin politically is so easy...it’s like shooting a moose from a chopper.” Or did he say that about somebody else? Does anyone remember who said that and who he was talking about? That sounds more violent to me than saying “reload.” Sarah was just using a metaphor...she wasn’t literally talking about reloading guns. She’s a western lady from the wide open spaces where free people still hunt and fish outdoors. Give her a break, you MSM clowns.
