MSNBC Shows Appalling Prejudice

Between Chris Matthews’ tingling leg and anything Keith Olbermann says, it has become obvious that MSNBC is not as much a news outlet as it is a purveyor of a political agenda.  I wonder if they’re getting paid with TARP funds?

This recent episode shows they are willing to deceive and fabricate racial discord from whole cloth.

Watch this “news item” about guns at an Obama appearance.

Gosh, they sure crop that image of the man with the gun really close, don’t they.  Wonder why they don’t show the “white racist” who would bring a semi-automatic to a presidential townhall?  They show other men’s faces.  I mean, this guy must be one mean dude to carry such a powerful gun, so you would think they would want to show him off to prove their point, right?

Now look at the picture of the man carrying the gun.

If you think the good folks at MSNBC were unaware of the man’s race, you are much more gullible altruistic than I am.

So, who are the racists here?  MSNBC for fomenting racial hatred with false facts, or people who legally carry guns?

I wonder why everyone else in the photo is in t-shirts and shorts, but this man is in a long sleeved shirt and long pants? 

I’m sure it wasn’t a setup so someone could get a picture of him carrying that gun at a presidential appearance.  But if it was, those long sleeves sure would help with the cropping.

Just saying.

The Awakening Begins

Conservatives may not have trusted him from the beginning, but liberals are now turning on Obama for his failure to keep promises.  His attempt to be all things to all people has run smack dab into the reality of actually having to make choices, and cracks in the façade are beginning to show.  It’s not “Just Words” any longer.

First, this devastating commentary by Rachel Maddow (!) of MSNBC (!!!). 

 Then there’s this column by Ted Rall, who supported Obama’s election.

MIAMI — We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama’s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory.  [snip]

Obama is useless. Worse than that, he’s dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now — before he drags us further into the abyss.

I refer here to Obama’s plan for “preventive detentions.” If a cop or other government official thinks you might want to commit a crime someday, you could be held in “prolonged detention.” [snip]

Preventive detention is the classic defining characteristic of a military dictatorship. Because dictatorial regimes rely on fear rather than consensus, their priority is self-preservation rather than improving their people’s lives. They worry obsessively over the one thing they can’t control, what George Orwell called “thoughtcrime” — contempt for rulers that might someday translate to direct action.  [snip]

Obama is cute. He is charming. But there is something rotten inside him. Unlike the Republicans who backed George W. Bush, I won’t follow a terrible leader just because I voted for him. Obama has revealed himself. He is a monster, and he should remove himself from power.

Again, from a liberal who voted for Obama.  You must read the whole article.
