Let's not forget to watch the media's treatment of Conservatives!

Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson

The Pizza Man Moron: More Racial ‘Dog Whistles’ From George Stephanopoulos and ABC News    "According to the MSM’s own standards, there’s a very troubling racial taint to ABC News and George Stephanopoulos taking Mr. Cain out of context, undermining his resume with these pizza cracks, and deceptively using video to turn him into a fool in front of their missions of viewers."

Networks Blame British Riots on Poverty, Ignore Moral, Economic Failure of Welfare State
"Not everyone was as quick as the networks to explain away the violence as a reaction to budget cuts (most of which haven't taken effect yet) or material poverty.
"British journalist Paul Willis blamed the riots on moral cowardice, arguing that "We Brits have ceded our public space to antisocial teenagers. There has been a collective loss of nerve."
"Other commentators went further, linking the riots with the British welfare state mentality."

A Tale of Two Protests: Media Cheer Wall Street Occupiers But Jeered Tea Partiers    "Where the Tea Party was met with skeptical claims of their motivations -- with some reporters claiming they were merely corporate backed puppets and others implying they were spurred on by their racist opposition to the first black president – the Occupy Wall Street crowd was depicted as an almost genial “grassroots” movement.
"While network reporters weren’t hesitant to describe the Tea Party as conservative, only once did a reporter attach even the “liberal” label to the overtly leftist Wall Street protestors."....
In fact, as the MRC’s Business & Media’s Julia Seymour documented, not one network report has called the protesters "radical," "extreme," "left-wing," or "socialist."  Emphasis added.

Is Obama beginning to play the race card?


I wrote last week that Obama is more than likely to play the race card because blame-fixing is in his DNA. Look at the litany of blame-shifting the man has done during his three years as president; he will never accept responsibility for any mistakes- they are all caused by things other than him.
To date, Obama has not blamed racial factors but been content to let others do that for him. To be sure he has never to my knowledge reprimanded those who would blame race, but when the election draws near and he sees his presidency being branded a failure you can count on racial divisions being stoked by him personally.
Case in point; see the following article and tell me if you think the liberal press will call him out on this or join in his attacks on Republicans. TD

Obama: Republicans Don't Want A Place Where People "No Matter What They Look Like" Can Succeed"At a forum on American Latino Heritage, President Obama goes through a litany of ideas that he is for, including his new stimulus, and ends with "none of this matters to Republicans in the Senate." One of those ideas is believing America is "a place where every child, no matter what they look like, where they come from, should have a chance to succeed." "  Also here: A DISGUSTING Barack Obama.


The man puts forth policies and programs that have not one chance of succeeding and then demagogues those who do not vote for them. And the ignorant protesters, media and celebrities continue to worship this president and his bankrupt philosophies.

Jobs Plan Fails, but Obama Doesn’t Get the Message

Heritage  "Take Senator Jim Webb (D-VA), for example. The Hill reports that he opposes raising taxes on ordinary income during a time of recession and that the federal government should encourage people to invest in the economy instead of raising their income taxes. In Webb’s own words:
I strongly believe that the way to bring good jobs back is to improve our economy in the private sector, and that means more capital investment. Winston Churchill once said something to the effect that you can’t tax your way out of an economic downturn any more than you can pick up a bucket if you’re standing in it.
And he called a joint session of Congress for this plan! The man is not only incompetent, he is eccentric and immature. Didn't he have any staff people who could caution him against these silly decisions?
More of Obama's class warfare demagoguery here.
"Rather than heeding to the palatable call from the majority of Americans weary of continued federal spending to grow the economy, including many in his own political party, President Obama is convinced that Hispanics will continue to support his policies by simply employing scare tactics."



Gibson Guitar CEO warns that jobs may be sent overseas in aftermath of DOJ raid 
  "On Wednesday, he told The Daily Caller there could be casualties from the DOJ’s actions, first of which he said may be higher guitar prices.
"“It’s a zero-sum game,” he said. “You don’t create money out of thin air. So a dollar goes to lawyers in Washington, D.C. is a dollar that comes out of our consumers’ pockets, period.”
"But he also cautioned that American jobs could be lost and sent overseas."

Does a resume' and experience matter any more for the presidency?

Progressives occupy Wall Street


The intellect of the occupiers   "The interviewer asks the young man about the sign. Mr. “Pay my Tuition” then comes up with some brilliant lines such as: “I think these billionaires are just getting a lot of money out of greed.” “They are exploiting people.” “We get taxed more than they do.” The interviewer then sets him straight. Then when asked why anyone should pay for his college tuition, the response from this Occutard went something like this: “It’s just my opinion.” “People can say whatever they want.” “Just because it’s what I want.”"  Neal Boortz;  Al Sharpton checks in with his wisdom here.

Yes, Soros Is Helping To Fund Occupy Wall Street Protests…
Soros, 81, is No. 7 on the Forbes 400 list with a fortune of $22 billion, which has ballooned in recent years as he deftly responded to financial market turmoil. He has pledged to give away all his wealth, half of it while he earns it and the rest when he dies.
