In The Interests Of Fairness

Chris Matthews on Haiti:
“I’m just wondering how the world is gonna see the first black President going into a black country with so much exciting action, if that’s not gonna be a really good thing for us in the world”
Did the earthquake give you a thrill up your leg Chris? What is it with these idiotic pundits trying to see the political capital that can be gained from such a tragic event?

Chris Matthews On Tea-Parties. Hmmm!
Filed Under American Politics | 5 Comments
Chris Matthews, race-baiter to the left makes the startling observation that the Tea-Partiers are “monochromatic”.
They’re all white. All of them. Every single one of them
We’ll ignore the fact that that claim is untrue and acknowledge that the tea-party movement is majority white (a majority white political movement in a majority white country. Well I never). But let’s take a look at some other monochromatic political advocacy groups that escape Chris Matthew’s condemnation.
1. The NAACP – The National association for the Advancement of Coloured People
2. Code Pink – I’ll wager a fair amount it’s easier to find a picture of a black person at a a-party protest than a code pink one.
3. The Congressional Black Caucus – Note the absence of a Congressional White Caucus.
4. Irony of ironies – MSNBC. The most monochromatic of the television channels. Not a black presenter amongst them.
5. The Black Panthers.
Seriously, why are the left so obsessed about race. Trawl the right wing blogs and race is hardly ever mentioned, but dare to step into the left wing blogosphere and it is mentioned constantly. The left are obsessed by the colour of a persons skin.
Just as an example, here is an apparently throw away remark at the Daily Kos:
At some point, one has to wonder how many white NFL players can be crammed into a single election cycle. Following the leads of former Bill Jay Riemersma (MI-02) and current Charger Jon Runyan (NJ-03), former Washington Redskins tight end Clint Didier announced he will challenge three-term Democratic incumbent Patty Murray for her U.S. Senate seat. Didier is a businessman from the uber-conservative Tri-Cities area, and is unlikely to be able to challenge Murray (who is sitting on nearly $5 million) in the resources department.
This is a report that a former NFL player will challenge for a Senate seat. What possible relevance is his colour?
The American left are setting back race relations in America by decades.

That’s what Chris Matthews at MSNBC calls West Point:
Liberals really aren’t keen on the military are they? It’s all that killing they do; nasty business.

Right Wing Assassins
Filed Under Uncategorized | 30 Comments
I don’t know a lot about Mike Malloy, he seems to be the liberal equivalent of a Rush Limbaugh. Here’s a comment from a blog post by him on the death of Edward Kennedy:
He was, of course, the only Kennedy brother we got to watch grow old. Joe died young fighting in WWII; Jack and Bobby were assassinated in each of their life’s prime by the right-wing, neo-Fascist madness that continues to poison this country
And here’s Chris Matthews evoking the spirit of Dallas, 1963:
Jack Kennedy was killed in an open car in Dallas in the midst of the most hated–it’s like the mood we’re in right now.
Erm. Wasn’t Jack Kennedy assassinated by a communist? Wasn’t Sirhan Sirhan an Arab nationalist dismayed by Robert Kennedy’s support for Israel?
In fact, the last three assassinations or attempts on Presidents or senior politicians, were either committed against Republicans or by people with decidedly un-conservative leanings. So how can those on the left, whipping up the hysteria about guns at Obama’s appearances, draw any comparisons between the events of the past and those of today? Well they can’t unless they’re being blatantly dishonest.

Sarah Palin Is A Racist
Filed Under American Politics | 23 Comments
Or so Chris Matthews thinks:
I do have trouble following his, Kathleen Parker’s and Joan Walsh’s rationale on this though. Chris Matthews asks, “Is Sarah Palin a poster girl for racism?”
The crux of the argument seems to be this:
1. Sarah Palin believes in an “us and them dynamic”
2. Sarah Palin hates the coast
3. Sarah Palin is a white woman
4. Sarah Palin may run against Barack Obama in 2012.
Well i’m sold. She’s clearly a racist. A white woman daring to run against a black man in a Presidential election, yup, there’s clear racism there. But hang on a minute, didn’t Hillary Clinton run against Barack Obama, is she racist too? Well yes according to Chris Matthews:
The MSNBC host then quoted Patterson:
“I have spent my life studying the pictures and symbols of racism and slavery, … and when I saw the Clinton ads, the central image” — this is the 30, the middle-of-the-night, 3:00-in-the-morning ad — “the central image, innocent sleeping children and a mother in the middle of the night at risk of mortal danger, it brought to my mind scenes from the past. I couldn’t help but think of D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, the racist movie epic that helped revive the Ku Klux Klan with its portrayal of black men lurking in the bushes around white society. The danger implicit in the phone ad, as I see it, is that the person answering the phone might be a black man, someone who could not be trusted to protect us from this threat.”
After Matthews charged that he believed the ad “had more to do with 911 than 9/11,” and that “I think it was a mother protecting her kids from a prowler outside,” MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan asked: “Suppose that’s true, Chris. What would be wrong with it?” Matthews responded: “It would be racist.”
So there is a pattern here. If you are white, and a female in particular, you are racist if you oppose Obama. We’ll just ignore the absence of any quote or piece of writing by Palin that supports that hysterical thesis, we’ll ignore the fact that Palin is married to a person of native-American descent or this exchange in a video:
Q. Do you think the Republican Party should embrace the party’s muslims?
Palin: We are not going to discriminate against a person’s religion at all. No that is not appropriate and not acceptable in my book to discriminate.
Perhaps Palin’s divisiveness speaks to her racism. Certainly, during an election campaign she spoke of a cultural divide in America. But why would that be racism? In fact, it is more likely considering her attacks on Hollywood and Washington insiders, that it is white liberals that she is set against, not black America.
But Sarah Palin hates the coast, that must be evidence of her racism? Well ignoring the lunacy of that statement anyway, maybe there is something there, what with Alaska being a land-locked state and…..Oh but wait, Alaska has the longest coastline of any American state, in fact Sarah Palin and her family make a living from the sea.
Expect to see more of this as Obama heads towards 2012. To the liberal, any opposition to Obama is, by definition racist.
NB. I have deliberately bitten my blogging tongue on Palin because I know how divisive she is on this blog. But this was utter garbage and got my ire up.

No more it seems. Now it’s treason.
Wanda Sykes on Rush Limbaugh:
“Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails,’ you’re, like, ‘I dont [sic] care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq.’ He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason.”
I love the left, they provide me with a laugh a day.
Actually, I’m in luck today, Chris Matthews has provided a second rib tickler.

At 0:33, with Michael Moore at his side, Barack Obama talks about a light shining down:
Barack Obama: “A light will shine down from…somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany and you will say to yourself “I have to vote for Barack.”
Firstly, as John Romano at Big Hollywood points out, why can’t he just say “a light will shine down from heaven“? He is supposed to be a christian having spent 20 years as a member of Rev. Wright’s church. Why is the abode of God such a difficult thing to reference?
Secondly, I don’t buy the notion that Obama is so arrogant to believe that he is a chosen one. But boy is he flippant! Whether it be the joke about Nancy Reagan and her seances, or the crack about the Special Olympics or that thinking about abortion was “above (his) paygrade”, Obama demonstrates a disrespect for others.
Gliberalism is writ large in the diatribes of Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews. It results from the arrogance of a sanctimonious elite and a disrespect and contempt for the lives of ordinary people. Jon Stewart may be the high priest, but Barack Obama is the personification of gliberalism.
