2nd Term Part 5: Big Brotha

Re: 2nd Term Part 5: Big Brotha

That's because you assume that I believe Fox Snooze is right-wing. They're not. It's the same Murdoch BS as NewsCorp's other outlets, just with a certain spin to it that makes it seem GOP.

Ha Ha Ha Ha. This is the funniest thing I've read today. Also, the most delusional thing I've read today. Good work.

If anyone is looking for a model to build a GOP business friendly environment they should follow what North Carolina is doing.

Yet, this is probably the first time I've ever read you going after CNN, or MSNBC, or any network that isn't named after a canine.

If you aren't going to hold water for someone, then don't hold water for them. If you stop using the labels of knuckledragger and GOP to accentuate your arguments and actually stick to the topics, we might actually believe that you don't hold water for the left. I don't hold water for the right, either, as you've seen me complain about them as well. Maybe not as much as other things, but if you only have to walk 10 feet in this world to see right-wing bashing, then what's the point of me wasting my time doing that? It'd be like 20 thors taking on a zergling. Heck, you know what? If you stop the water holding, I'll stop using the huff-and-puffer term.

You must have me confused with another huff-and-puffer. While I don't watch MSNBC enough to talk specifics, obviously they are a left wing outfit and I'm not sure when I ever said differently.

Where you are clearly mistaken is me never blasting CNN. I make fun of CNN on a regular basis. They are a horrible news organization who's reporters (King, Blitzer, etc) are total idiots. They turfed the last decent personality they had (Soledad O'Brien) because apparently she asked too many tough questions.

I can live with Fox or MSNBC being biased because that's what you go there for. CNN was once a reputable news source (recall if you're old enough Bush Senior famously saying he was watching CNN for updates like everybody else during the 1st Gulf War). They're now a joke. Case in point. I'm flicking through channels last year after one of the debates, the one where Obama informed Romney that the US army has less mounted cavalry now than it did in 1918. Inexplicably both King and Wolfie are suggesting that this was a major blunder by Obama as they could both see the Romney campaign adds now in Virginia that Obama compared the US Navy to a obsolete military force, a charge so ridiculous that even the Republicans didn't bother making it. It was then and there I decided the network had hit rock bottom. Happily I discoved the BBC on my cable that night, a network that gives by far the best coverage out there.

If you watch during the day, MSNBC is NOT a liberal fantasy land. Mrs. Alan Greenspan is not exactly a left-wing reporter. The eye-candy they have during the days aren't either. Also during the days (back when I watched) their production values rival that of a high school AV club. Dreadful. They may have gotten better but I doubt it. In prime time MSNBC is liberal. None of the cable networks is a true news organization anymore as anything that happens after prime time starts is pushed off for the next morning. Heaven forbid something happens to interrupt a repeat of Anderson Cooper, Shawn Hannity or Rachel Maddow.

Mrs. Alan Greenspan.

Wow. How did I miss that one? And he's only 21 years older.

Does anybody watch Anderson Cooper anymore? Or better yet, did they ever?

CNN's problem is they're too afraid of being accused of bias to report the news accurately. Once you lose your courage or become a shill, there's no going back. The BBC commentators made a spot on statement during election night when they stated simply that if Romney was going to have a good night we should have called North Carolina already. Completely accurate and matter of fact but something major US networks would be too wimpy to state before the winner was called out of fear of being called out.

Cable was (and still is) impossible where I grew up, and we did not get a satellite dish until 1999. CBC News was interesting, though; we could pick up Canadian television.

That's not just CNN's problem, that's everyone's problem. You can blame the 2000 election and the Florida debacle for the wimp-outs. Today's society is nothing but name calling and character attacks. Heck, I saw something about how Amanda Bynes has now been called a racist because she tweeted that the Obamas were ugly.

Too bad I can't quite pick up Ottawa or Toronto from here. Or maybe I can; I don't know.

Re: 2nd Term Part 5: Big Brotha

If an unbiased source of news had been sought, there might not have been such a shocking headline.

Miami Herald

n the weeks after the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a city representative picked up the phone and called Thomas Battles, a quiet force who has worked almost three decades mending racially damaged communities.

The federal mediator works for the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service (CRS), a stealth federal operation that works to defuse community anger hardening along the fault lines of race, color and national origin.

The mediators are called the peacemakers.

Orlando Sentinel

When racial tensions flared in Sanford, a league of secretive peacemakers reached out to the city's spiritual and civic leaders to help cool heated emotions after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in February.

When civil-rights organizers wanted to demonstrate, these federal workers taught them how to peacefully manage crowds.

They even arranged a police escort for college students to ensure safe passage for their 40-mile march from Daytona Beach to Sanford to demand justice.

As national figures and sign-waving protesters grabbed the spotlight after Trayvon's death, federal workers from a little-known branch of the Department of Justice labored away behind the scenes, quietly brokering deals between the city officials and residents to help prevent violence and lay the groundwork for peace.

Mein Gott! Start the impeachment trials!

Flaggy I appreciate a good dodge as much as the next guy, but its funny how you will hit GOP talking points in one post and then 5 minutes later fall back on the trite "both parties are the same" mantra. You know, when George Wallace first tried that, maybe it had some resonance, but nowadays you just sound like a goober! No matter which side you agree with, there is a BIG difference between the two parties, perhaps the biggest we've seen since FDR wanted to bail out England in the face of the Nazi assault and isolationist Republicans wanted to leave them on their own.

Another watershed may have been Jim Crow, organized, implemented and enforced by Democrats. Or the Klan, organized by and populated with Democrats. At least some of whom participated in various killings and lynchings--especially of civil rights workers and little girls at church. And let's not forget kamikaze-like opposition to civil rights legislation. Or the fact they gave their vice presidential nomination to two southern racists in the 50s.

Yes, most of us took US History and know how the Democratic Party split over race in the early 20th Century, coming to a head with Strom Thurmond and his run for president as a "Dixiecrat" in 1948. From then on the parties switched places on racial issues. Thurmond led his filibuster against Civil Rights and President Johnson famously said, "We've lost the South for a generation" after the law was passed. Most politicians switched parties after that. West Virginia's Robert Byrd was one who did not.

This service is available to all and not just people who look like B. Hussein Obama's son? In the same way this Justice Department enforces the rules against voter intimidation--if the voters involved are black.

Ah yes, Bobby Byrd. Ex Klan Kleagle (or something) who famously used the phrase "white n-word" in an interview. For some reason which escapes my understanding, the usual libtard chorus was silent on that one. But was in full outraged voice when Republican Trent Lott at an event honoring 100 year old Strom Thurmond said the old boy should have been elected president. And in your typically strained efforts to whitewash (you should pardon the expression) the vicious, violent, frequently lethal Democratic history on race, you've conveniently overlooked that LBJ went to Republican senate leader Ev Dirksen of Illinois to get the '64 civil rights bill passed. Time famously referred to Dirksen as "the wizard of ooz."

The parties may have "switched places" as you say. But you can't airbrush the Democrats' racist history with that observation. No Republicans were involved in lynching Emmett Till, or blowing up the little girls in church or murdering then covering up the murders of Schwerner, Cheney and Goodman, et al. They were all Democrats.

Do you ever get the feeling that Democrats want to pin the blame on Republicans in order to cover up their secret desires?

Is "darkie" capitalized? All of those doing the lynchings were Democrats. With or without the hoods. With or without your pathetic efforts at moral equivalency.
