fox is definitely part of the msm, as a matter of fact its a HUGE part of the msm and has a huge influence on a lot of people, and it's just as biased as other media stations, whats the big deal, fuck em all. thats why the internet exists, for real unbiased news, (depending on the sources of course)
id have to say the socialists probably are supporters of the democrats because they have more in common with democrats. taxes for schools which is kind of socialistic etc, many republicans on the other hand, would rather send their kids to private school and pay the 4000.00 a month fee for their kindergartners education because they have the money to do it and would rather not pay taxes for kids that aren't even theirs.
Because both the media and this forum went nuts over tea parties and like 2 signs and yet you all had nothing to say about this. Its proof your outrage is completely reliant on MSM manufacturing it. Where is the wall to wall coverage of the people and signs at this rally? It was first and foremost in the media when it was Beck's rally or a tea party.
I'm assuming you are the expert on trivia. If a socialist party member is complaining about lack of coverage, that's one thing. When an anti-socialist complains about lack of coverage of a socialist rally, that's a little obsessive. Let us know if the media fail to cover the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert rallies, since they, like Glenn Beck, have media connections. Most socialist party rallies are lucky if the free press shows up, let alone Fox news. And without smilin' Sarah Palin and teary eyed Glenn Becky, well, these socialist signs are a lot less sexy, than the tea party. Plus, those tea partiers always have the bratwurst on the tailgate grill, and a nice RV that they drove there. Socialists are splitting a single bag of chips between them, and all came in one '57 Chevy pick-up...not quite the media magnet, eh? To sum up, the rich, when complaining (tea party), will always get more attention from the media, than the poor (socialist party). Kapish?
I did respond to this in my first post in this thread. I explained a bit why socialists with signs at a progressive rally is hardly newsworthy while racists at a rally about fiscal responsibility is. What the hell are you talking about? So.....because I am not outraged by the same things that you are outraged about that is proof that the MSM is manufacturing my outrage? Condescending much? Should I instead let you "manufacture" my outrage? In truth the MSM is far more responsible for manufacturing your outrage than it is for my own. You are so invested in this idea of media bias that all they have to do is not cover something and you are up in arms. It is kind of funny because despite this media bias you claim and others accept as fact other than your posts and a brief mention on Jon Stewart I would never have even known that this rally took place at all. Yet I can't go a single day without being bashed over the head with tea party coverage. One could certainly come to the conclusion that the media has been far more complicit in giving coverage and helping to build up the tea party than it is in pushing any agenda that the "one nation" rally might have been attempting. The claim of media bias has been a conservative talking point for so damn long that it grows tiresome. The victim card works so well for conservatives in this matter that they actually manage to convince people that any negative publicity is due to that bias and any positive publicity is just an attempt to cover up that same bias. Who exactly is manufacturing your outrage Dronetek? Because it certainly sounds as if you not only buy this idea but have adopted it as some sort of personal crusade. Where was the coverage period? Where was the build up to the rally beforehand? The constant references to it on every newscast? Hell, MSNBC did more promotion of the Glenn Beck rally than they ever did for the One Nation rally. Give me a break.
I think its pretty well established that the racist crap was manufactured. You're proving my point for me. Its not condescending, its a fact. You're outrage is based on whether or not the MSM instructs you to be. We see it again and again. Why isn't anyone outraged over gas prices or wire taps anymore? Same reason. LOL, this "idea" of media bias. I'm not asking you to be outraged at all. Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of both posters here and the media they watch. Its not coverage as much as its smear propaganda meant to discredit them. You wont see the same type of fervor to discredit the one nation rally. Thats my point. No, you couldn't. How could you possibly conclude that when the MSM coverage has been totally negative? Let me know when the MSM covers liberal rallies in the same way they do the tea parties. It wont happen. Right, just like the liberal claims that Fox is an arm of the GOP. Thanks for proving my point again. You're a great example of what the MSM does to people. Look Goodgirl, just show me the negative coverage of this or other left wing rallies. It should be easy. I can easily fill this page with clips and links to articles that trash the tea parties. Its been going on for years now. My outrage is based on my own observations. Observations that have become pretty undeniable at this point, expect by hardcore fanatics like yourself. You cant bring yourself to admit the media's main objective is promoting Democrats, their causes and their rallies. Otherwise, we would see the same critical look at their rallies as we do the tea parties and similar movements. No more so than those of you who constantly whine about Beck or Fox News. There was tons of glowing, positive coverage. You want me to start posting it? You dont really seem to know what you're talking about at all. We'll start with this: ABC Sanitizes Left Wing Rally, Excludes Communist and Socialist Signs The rally was also mostly black people. Where are the charges of racism? Doesn't that mean they're racist? No, they didn't. You're just making shit up at this point. Fucking Ed Schultz was one of the main speakers for fuck sake. Indeed.
of course i'm serious. There is nothing racist about a witch doctor... i don't even understand why one would think it is to be honest. Racists always think everything is racist..
Carry on Dronetek. Clearly you are fighting the good fight while those that disagree with you are merely sheep under the thrall of the "MSM". Nothing racist about portraying the President of the United States in African tribal garb with a bone through his nose? WOW! Just......wow! So now I am racist because I can call a clearly racist image racist? I suppose now I have no choice but to never point out blatant racism when I see it so that I don't risk being labeled a racist. Something to ponder.
ok hypothetical: GW Bush puts out the same healthcare bill... and Steven Colbert compares him with a witch doctor... with pictures and everything. is that racist, or is that satire? and yes.. if you sit around and find racism in every little thing, then you are a racist.
What exactly do you disagree with and whats you're evidence that I'm wrong? Show me the MSM equivalent to what we've seen over the last 2 years in respect to negative tea party coverage. Even if it is racist, its one freaking poster that has been used to bash the entire tea party by the media. Here seen we dozens of socialist and communist signs at a left wing democrat rally and the media IGNORES it! In fact they've been moaning on and on for months that Democrats aren't socialists!
I believe the person who had it said it was meant to represent the wacky witch doctor like approach Obama is taking and that it would actually diminish the quality of health care. If you're constantly accusing one type of person a racist and its based mostly on the fact they're white, then yes it does start to get pretty racist. I'm reminded of this clip: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdf1TC178gI]YouTube - MSNBC Cynthia Tucker: 45-65% Of Townhall Protesters Are Racists[/ame] What are these people basing their fear mongering on? White skin. Its straight up racism. It would be like Sean Hannity looking at a video of an NAACP rally and concluding that 60% were racists.
i think the comparisons between obamacare and tribal medicine flew completely over her head dey both black it must be racist yo!
You obviously don't get PR, the first rule of which is any publicity is good publicity. I literally can't turn on the TV without hearing about the tea party. Even on shit that has nothing to do with politics. It' become a part of our lexicon. Good or bad, their message is vastly being represented on the media so as always I fail to see how they're trying to destroy "conservatives."
They didn't though. It's South American. Clearly. I've never got why people assume its some African witch doctor. Look at the skin tone and the garb. Clearly South American.
The 'MSM' is dedicated to the Democratic party, with the exception of FOX, for the most part. (Althought FOX has been leaning farther and farther left daily, while CNN moves closer to the right ) And goodgirl, stop being a Democrat shill
No, it wouldn't be racist (it would still be ridiculously unfunny though). You know GW was white right? The stereotype of the primitive African wouldn't be reinforced if it were a white person in the picture...although quite frankly insulting someone by associating them with another group of people is rather insulting to the group being mocked as well. It is the negative divisive stereotype that is racist. The attempt to portray him as worthy of mocking because of his skin color or African roots. Sure....the afterthought justification could be the case. Perhaps those that held the sign or forwarded the image to their friends were truly just making a reference to health care and were completely unaware of the racial overtones to the image.....sorry....I couldn't keep a straight face. I believe that you are confusing racism with the "whoever smelt it dealt it" school of thought. Except that I wasn't accusing anyone of being racist and have no idea what color the person was that carried the sign. I certainly did not accuse anyone of being a racist based on their skin color. Get a grip. I understand that next to exposing MSM as puppets of the Democratic party that defending the powerless white majority from the constant threat of racism is a pet project of yours; but perhaps you should at least wait until it actually applies. I had read in some snippet in a comments section of a blog that it wasn't African but I have no way of confirming that. All I know for sure is that those that defend the poster have called it an "African witch doctor" and since their use of the image is supposedly "okay" based on that assumption I went with it.
So, comparing white people to primitive people is ok? Does it have to be done for a certain amount of time before it becomes bad? Thats the problem with people like you who like to accuse others of racism. You have all these special rules that allow you to be racist yourself (in your own head). Arent we all from Africa? Why is comparing people with white skin to primitive people or even animals ok? Can you please explain that? Do you not see the contradiction in your little philosophy? Can you not accept that fact that not everyone sees everything through the prism of race? Yes, but its making fun of a black man on the poster so it must be racist. I'm all about equal rights for everyone. Not just a select few like you want it to be. Also, another one of my threads completely derailed.
So true. People need to start holding themselves responsible for taking things out of context rather than waving the racist flag like the demagogues they are. The ObamaCare-Witch-Doctor has nothing at all to do with race, ethnicity, or nationality. It's a jab at the quality of care one should expect from ObamaCare. Anyone who fails to realize this is likely lacking in their capacity to critically think.
