[...] And for those of you who think that I’m disparaging fellow conservatives and/or other bloggers – I’ll point recent example of how New Media outmanuvers traditional media to get a good story. Local Blogger “Sister Toldjah” (not her real name – but high on my list for possible girl names for the newest Thibault) posted an article titled: “BondÃ‚Â’s GOP/swastika comparison still gets no MSM coverage“. A very good read on NAACP’s Julian Bond behaving badly. You won’t read it in any paper; but it’s better cooberated and researched than anything you’ll find in the paper or on TV. [...]

Hey, that’s Forrest Gump’s formula too! “When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know, I went.”

“Proof”. What is truth? Or propaganda, for that matter? You’ll know it when you see it, right? Here is reality, “When I eat, I eat. When I sleep, I sleep”….Zen Buddhist formula. Peace

See my comment on the Moslems at the above address. I think these demonstrations are the tip of an historical event, much like Hitler’s invasion of the Rhineland was the beginning of an historical event. We are heading for hard times.

Ya gotta admit, if Steve is a troll he’s not your garden variety drive by troll. He keeps up with the discussion and has a degree of comedic value at the thought he really believes the nonsense he speaks and verifies his statements with such proof as, “just look at them”.

I think Robertson gets a little lonely with his 6 viewers on the 700 club, and just needs to be back in the spotlight now and then, says something really dumb, and then goes “oopsie”….

And a few days later Robertson always apologizes for them. I wish he, and Steve, would think before they yak. But then I suppose that I could wish I was living with a very hot blonde in a new town home in North Carolina, before either of those two start to think before they yak. – Lorica

More Big MSM Bias Exposed

Sister Toldjah has another example of big media’s liberal double-standard bias in regards to reporting. This time: NAACP chairman Julian Bond’s comparison of the GOP with Nazis gets almost zero coverage but Rumsfeld’s comparison of Venuzuelan dictat…

It’s frontpage news because the liberals like to link him as the direct direct source and holder of all the republican values.

Pat Robertson does not speak for me, and probably a majority don’t agree with the majority of his statements.

But as I said, the Liebral media likes to make it seem like Pat Robertson speaks about the ideals and ideas of the republican party which is just not true. For myself, I just ignore him.

Meanwhile every time Pat Robertson opens his mouth something stupid falls out, and despite the guy’s total lack of relevance, it’s front-page news.

Because bush being a nazi is old news to everyone but you Fascists, and therefore not newsworthy any longer. It’s like calling the religious right Fascists or rightwing Socialists, everyone knows that’s what you all are so it’s like saying Republican or corrupt crony or greedy warmonger. See? Peace

Once, at a sensitivity training session, a speaker asked “what do you people want?” The audience, largely male, white, New York City Police Officers, immediately took offense. – What do you mean by ‘you people’?
When a speaker (or writer) assumes the audience is different, has different needs, different dreams, or different values, they expose their own bias. They start their discussion from a different paradigm, rather than from common ground. The speaker says apples, the audience hears oranges, and the advancement of ideas fails. Neither side talks to the other and the discourse is reduced to name calling.
In the political arena, some people pander to an audience and play on their fears hoping to divide people into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ They do not want to reach common ground. Such speakers often have prepared texts, one for each special interest group. Lacking ideals, the speaker can only drum up hatred of an opponent. When it is ‘us’ against ‘them’ winning is more important than improving conditions.
Communications between adults are facilitated when the speaker and listener start from the same page. The media in attendance at an event will select which portion of the speaker’s text to report in headlines, and which to ignore. Without accurate reporting the general public is surprised to learn that we are a deeply divided nation.

I think Bond gets away with this stuff for three reasons:

1) Everyone is uses to it . Old news

2) MSM elitees, mostly white folks, are scared to death of being called “racist”

3) Black folks are scared of disunity, of splitting their vote, and see power in unity. they don’t want to criticise etheir leaders because they believe it plays into the hands of the dreaded conservatives.
