Where Hate Speech REALLY Lives

Apr 03 2010 Published by under Ed Schultz, MSNBC

Let’s see where we stand at the end of a looooong couple of weeks of liberal hysteria. Despite $100,000 offer for proof from any one of the 40,000 people clearly seen in the crowd holding up cell phones and video cameras recording the entire proceeding, absolutely ZERO proof emerged for the allegation that the n-world was hurled, the f-word was hurled and just yesterday, the allegations from the congressmen themselves were withdrawn. Case closed on all of it, including the childish spitting charge. It was desperately irresponsible for MSNBC, et.al. to go 24/7 certain they had Tea Party violence.

Then there’s the inanity of a politician posting a map of battleground states with crosshairs on it as targeted opponents in an electoral race as somehow violent. This is the vernacular of campaigns and grown-ups know it. To suggest that it is somehow an incitement to violence is beyond the pale.

Then there’s the obvious absence of what wasn’t looped 24/7 that would have settled the whole matter: A Tea Party member bashing the crap out of someone with their sign… Or some such thing. Don’t you think if they had it they’d show it non-stop? If they had proof, you’d see it looped on it’s own cable channel for God’s sake.

So let’s see where actual hate speech really lives. Where identity politics really lives. You’ll notice that conservatives, who are routinely accuses of being jack-booted racists, register policy complaints, not race complaints, as it routinely alleged. There are fringe lunatic exceptions, of course, but that’s not who we are talking about. I’m talking about mainstream talking heads, like this one:

"She’s RADIOACTIVE"

Feb 09 2010 Published by under Ed Schultz, Lionel, MNBC, Palin, radioactive, tea party

A guest of Ed Schultz tells him that “If someone else had said what she (Palin) said you’d agree with her, Ed.” It’s at about 2:00 on the clip below.

Ed Schultz and MSNBC have thus far NOT posted this tasty little bit on their websites, nor had I been able to find it myself though I had searched and searched, but thanks to LiberalWhoppers.com, it can now be seen.  The really good part comes at about 2:00, when they’re (almost) done being pompous and distorting the truth, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone disagree with Ed even a little.  He clearly lacks the courage of his convictions because if he were sure of his facts and positions, he would have conservative after conservative on and just bludgeon them with facts one after the other, but he doesn’t…at least not that I’ve seen lately and those are hours of my life I’ll never get back.  Now, that’s not to suggest that conservatives on Fox or other media invite dissent day after day but they DO invite it ENOUGH of the time, but it gets boring after a while kicking these people, doesn’t it?  Seriously?  Much more fun to keep reading and discussing history and constitution and let them continue to sneer that we are all from, as one commentator said this morning my local Fox affiliate the “trailer park.”  Once again, beating a dead horse, but if a CONSERVATIVE had EVER referred to a group of voters as “trailer park” CAN YOU IMAGINE the uproar????
