Playing the Post-Katrina Race Card (VIDEO)

January 22nd, 2006 at 05:44 by MsUnderestimated

I always make a point to watch Fox News Watch on Saturdays, because the resident liberal bed-wetter, Neal Gabler, is a sure bet to never let me down in his “shift-the-blame” tactics for the current issue du jour, which always makes for good entertainment. From Neal’s rantings, it appears he feels intellectually and morally superior to Cal Thomas, Jim Pinkerton, Eric Burns, and Jane Skinner. But on today’s hot topic of the recent race-baiting comments by the Hildabeast and Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin, Neal even outdid himself.

Eric: You can’t say that what Mayor Nagin said was a Republican spin point.

Neal: Oh, I think… to attack him…to attack him? That’s what I’m saying that was a Republican spin point. To take whatever a Democratic politician says, and to put it in the context of saying “he’s crazy…”

(cross-talk)

Jim: Look… Hillary Clinton and Ray Nagin both tried to play the race card. Hillary Clinton kinda got away with it; Nagin didn’t. He had 1/10th the heat that Pat Robertson got for equivalent statements that Robertson (for which) was subjected to the Daily Show and comedies forever. Nagin didn’t apologize. Nagin overtly tried to play the race card in the most racially-charged situation in America now, which is New Orleans, post-Katrina, and I’m glad to see the media were grabbing their hind legs for once and bending back, because this has been going on in the Black Power movement the last 35 years, and they’ve gotten away with it. Maybe things are changed now.

(more cross-talk)

Neal: Look there is a story here, and the story is what Hillary Clinton said. The story is that there has been a tectonic change in the way that our political environment operates. Democrats are not invited to conference now in Congress. Democrats are not consulted or even permitted to make additions to bills in Congress now. The only place that I’ve seen this covered, because it’s a tectonic change, is in Rolling Stone. And Rolling Stone is becoming, oddly enough, one of the best political magazines on the earth.

They got into a bit of a verbal fisticuffs when they tried to pin Neal down on his stance of Shrillary’s latest “plantation” remarks, as well as Nagin’s expressed desires for New Orleans to be a “Chocolate City” again, like it was before Katrina. If Neal tried really hard, I bet he could get a writer’s spot on Law & Order.

Oh, and what about ” Democrats are not invited to conference now in Congress. Democrats are not consulted or even permitted to make additions to bills in Congress now”? What? Where in the hell is his proof of this? If he wants more permission and participation by his party, then he should do whatever it takes to make sure a Democrap gets elected. I hate to break it to you Neal, but elections have consequences, so it doesn’t matter what kind of tantrum you throw, or how long you hold your breath, the Republicans ARE the party in power. Now GET OVER IT, already!

And Rolling Stone? Rolling Stone is becoming the best political magazine out there? Somebody PLEASE help Neal out. He’s obviously been hanging out with Marion Barry too much. Barry is a bad influence on ANYBODY! Especially if you’re already apparently unstable.

What a pathetic loser he is! I know Fox likes to be fair and balanced, but sometimes it goes over the edge. However, from a different perspective, it is OUTSTANDINGLY brilliant (and helpful to the Republican party) to have the likes of Neal Gabler, Babs Streisand, Franken, Sharpton, Jesse “I ain’t yo baby daddy” Jackson, Cindy Sheehan, and Louie “the mother-wheel awaits” Farrakhan, constantly out in the forefront of the media’s attention.

Some conspiracy theorists from the left might say that Karl Rove is behind this; he is, after all, “Bush’s brain.” Well, that’s really not much of a stretch, since everything that goes wrong on this planet is somehow or another George Bush’s fault. Gee, must be nice to have that much power, especially when you think about all the times when the myrmidons on the left talk about how dumb GW is. Kinda makes you wonder about their reasoning….If he were as dumb as they say he is, do they really believe he could have caused the hurricane to hit only poor black people in New Orleans? I could go on and on about everything the libs blame Bush for, but there’s not enough space on the internet for that. It’s that good ol’ media double standard - if it’s good for Bush, it goes on page F25; if it’s bad for Bush, it’s FRONT PAGE NEWS, baby!

Tribute to the West Virginia Miners (VIDEO)

Folks, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. I’ve got a few to share with you (pictures, not words). As I sit here typing through blurred eyes and with tear-stained cheeks, I watched this video someone shared with me today. In light of the recent tragedies in West Virginia coal mines, I am sharing this tribute done by the Laurel Mountain Baptist Church, which you can view here.
