I enjoy seeing the repeated meltdowns by members of the Establishment Media who are horrified at the damage done by basic reality to their carefully crafted but generally false narratives. But I also find it nauseating, quite frankly, to see such raw hatred, racism, bigotry and lying erupt from them, especially since they claim sole ownership of the "civility" issue. They are "civil?" Nothing could be further from the truth.
So, what did we learn on Tuesday and Wednesday nights?
Juan Williams disgraced himself Tuesday night by making a snarky, angry comment about Ann Romney. Even though he was supposed to be talking about her speech performance, he instead chose to dismiss her as looking like "a corporate wife" and somebody who is "taken care of." Williams is not exactly a novice here. He knows perfectly well what he did and it's apparent that he couldn't care less.
It's ironic that according to the bizarre "logic" of the Left, the fact that Williams is black and Ann Romney is white would qualify his statement as "racist." In other words, if a white commentator were to make a similar statement about Michelle Obama is it even remotely possible that the Establishment Media wouldn't totally freak out? Since the talking heads at MSNBC and CNN (and basically the entire Obama Media Group) are already obsessed with the "dog whistle" meme, they would be all over any white male commentator who "went there." In fairness to Williams, his comments were hardly the most offensive example of the Left's hatefest.
Lawrence O'Donnell at MSNBC also jumped at the chance to take some shots at Ann Romney. But to do this he had to interpret her speech in outlandish ways in order to make it fit The Narrative. Compared to O'Donnell, Juan Williams was a model of decorum and objectivity! But then again, Williams does work for FOX.
We learned that MSNBC is so desperate to protect The Narrative, namely that the GOP is hopelessly "monochromatic" and hostile to minorities, that they deliberately cut away from the speeches whenever a minority speaker came on stage. Mia Love? Ted Cruz? Artur Davis? Nikki Haley? Susana Martinez, the first female Latino governor in U.S. history? It doesn't matter what their accomplishments are. The Obama Media Group can't allow their viewers to get too big a sampling of this new reality or else those viewers might start questioning The Narrative itself.
Now if you want to argue that the Democrats have more minority members; more blacks and Hispanics, more homosexuals, etc. then that would certainly be an undeniable truth. There's no question that in terms of volume, the Democrats have more. But that's not the claim - accusation, really - that Democrats are making. They repeatedly insist that the GOP is a party of "old white men" and lacks diversity. And that's simply not true.
The GOP is without question diverse, not only in terms of race, gender, religion, income levels, etc. but also diverse in ideas, outlooks and life stories. Minorities are always welcome in the GOP because they share common Conservative values. In fact, minorities are particularly valued by the GOP precisely because it is so hard for minorities to break away from the hive and follow their values rather than simple PC conformity. On top of everything else they have courage and conviction to go along with their Conservative views.
Who is it that makes life difficult for minority members of the GOP? Not the Republican "old white men" that the Left is constantly whining about but rather the whites and blacks of the Left. It's white liberals who are hateful and racist in their attitude towards black people who don't do as their told. It's black liberals who are disrespectful and close-minded when dealing with their fellow blacks who are Republican. It wasn't "old white men" in the GOP who were playing the ridiculous "negrospotting" hashtag game Tuesday night. It was white liberals and black liberals. They did this even though they would certainly be the first to howl if they ever caught white and black Republicans playing the exact same game. The hypocrisy and blatant double standards are simply unacceptable and must not be allowed to stand or impede true progress in this nation.
It's the same story with every minority group or segment of the Republican base. Latino Republicans are dismissed as "window dressing." They are accused of selfishly working against the interests of "their people." Conservative women, gay Republicans, young Republicans, the spouses of politicians and even their children are targets of the Left's irrational hate and exploitation. It's as never-ending as it is bizarre. Not only has the Reactionary Left fully embraced all of the old forms of rhetorical hate but they've simultaneously expanded the language of "racism" using the "dog whistle" meme to the point where - as we've just learned - references to golfing and "holding down the fort" are included.
It's really hard to decide which is more outrageous and shameful: the reactionary and bigoted attitude of the Democrats or their breathtaking hypocrisy. It begs the question, "If the GOP is so hopelessly "racist" then how could any members of a minority group belong to it? The logical and rational answer is that it isn't "racist" at all. However, the answer the Reactionary Left comes up with is to accuse those minority members of being "sell outs" or "Uncle Toms" or "house niggers." The Democrats of 2012, despite of all that tremendous "diversity" about which they like to boast, is still talking the same hateful, divisive and reactionary talk that it did in the 1950s and 1960s. The circumstances are different but the end result is the same: bitterness, division and disappointment.
We had further confirmation of the outrageous bias of the media when Yahoo! News bureau chief David Chalian got caught on a hot mic mocking Mitt and Ann Romney with regards to the convention and hurricane Isaac:
"They aren’t concerned at all. They are happy to have a party with black people drowning."As Newsbuster's Matthew Sheffield noted, this is " the perfect example of the pervasive anti-Republican bias Mitt Romney faces in his bid to unseat President Barack Obama."
The most vile statements imaginable are routinely uttered by people on the Left who claim to be blessed with extraordinary amounts of "empathy" and "tolerance." It's a joke and would be hilarious if it wasn't so completely disturbing, disgusting and dishonest. But that's what happens when one side - the Democrats - have become totally reactionary and committed to protecting The Narrative and stubbornly clinging to the status quo.
And you watch the coverage next week when the circus/zoo that will be the Democratic National Convention gets fawned over by the same "journalists". They will portray the lies, innuendo and hatred which will no doubt be in their speeches as perfectly sensible and what mainstream Americans are yearning for. Get the barf bags ready!
ReplyDeleteMore and more of us have awakened to the ways the media narrative has and continues to be shoved down our throats. But, you know what Midnight Writer? We are bringing this regime to an end in November, then we will keep pounding until the liberal dinosaur media whithers away on the vine!
Excellent piece which should appear as many places as possible. It would open some blind eyes if only they were exposed to reading this! Thank you for all your efforts here and elsewhere. You are making a difference!
