MSM vs. Reality: More Media Bias Concerning the Tea Parties

With all the talk of “threats” and vandalism lately, the MSM has continued to repeat the talking points that the GOP and the Tea Parties and guilty of racial slurs, threatening government officials and breaking windows at Democratic offices (even ones that are 30 stories up!).  Now, there are no videos of this (other than the one that showed that the Congressional Black Caucus was lying).  There have been no arrests, but the MSM keeps going along without evidence, just like they did last summer.

I would also be negligent if I omitted the violence at the 2008 GOP Convention.  The Powerline Blog has a great post on the subject.

I attended the convention and remember the terrorist acts that were carried out by anti-Republican protesters very well. They threw bricks through the windows of buses, sending elderly convention delegates to the hospital. They dropped bags of sand off highway overpasses onto vehicles below. Fortunately, no one was killed.

These were anti-Bush and anti-Republican protesters. Is it a stretch to think that some of them, at least, may have been inspired by over-the-top, hateful attacks on the Bush administration by Democratic Congressmen, DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Michael Moore, who was a guest of honor at the Democrats’ own convention, various show business personalities, and many other leading liberal figures? I don’t think so. We haven’t seen that sort of hate campaign since the Democrats went after Abraham Lincoln. It seems unlikely that none of the “protesters” who tried to commit murder were inspired by those liberal voices.

Didn’t hear about that from MSNBC, did you?

So, we see that there is a proud history of lying about the right, ignoring the actual documented violence of the left, and it’s only getting more blatant and transparent.

Next up, the Tea Party rally in Nevada yesterday.  Here is CNN’s coverage, courtesy of NewsBusters.

Dozens, eh?  Let’s compare “dozens” to reality.  Here is an aerial view of the protest courtesy of Gateway Pundit.

Yup, that’s dozens alright!  That’s about as accurate as the estimated costs of ObamaCare!

Then, to keep on spreading the talking points, the WaPo chimed in as well.

The angry faces at Tea Party rallies are eerily familiar. They resemble faces of protesters lining the street at the University of Alabama in 1956 as Autherine Lucy, the school’s first black student, bravely tried to walk to class.

Those same jeering faces could be seen gathered around the Arkansas National Guard troopers who blocked nine black children from entering Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957.

Again, this is the typical talking point:  The Tea Parties are racists, and will engage in violence at some point.

Considering all the evidence, and looking at the past history of the Democrats, I think that this is the plan:

1.  For over a year now, the government, the Democratic Party, and the MSM have been in lockstep in describing anyone who disagrees with the POTUS as a terrorist in waiting.

2.  Once the Tea Parties started, the same folks in government, the Dems, and the MSM, have been alternately minimizing the size and scope of the movement, as well as simply making up unsubstantiated lies about it.  Note that the lies are meant to craft a public perception that matched the claims that the movement is filled with racists and potential terrorists.

3.  Now that the Health Care bill is done, a distraction is needed.  After all, the party doesn’t want stories about job losses, rising premiums, and the other flaws of the bill making it onto the news, so why not kill two birds with one stone?  Smear the opposition and distract everyone at the same time.  Now, some will say that this is wild speculation, but kindly remember that the Clinton administration would fire off a cruise missile and make some rubble bounce every time one of his civil cases went to court.  How many former Clinton operatives now work for Obama?

4.  So, without evidence of any kind, the administration, Dems, and MSM lapdogs are beating the same drum.  The GOP and Tea Parties are racists that are threatening Dems and vandalizing Dem offices.  Again, there is no evidence, and history clearly indicates that the Dems have done this themselves many times themselves in order to smear their opposition.

5.  If the Dems can cause the GOP to distance themselves from the Tea Parties, they might split the Conservative Vote.  I doubt it will happen, but it makes sense for the Democrats to try.

6.  The Democrats are also blaming talk radio, FOX News, and any other voices that disagree with the administration, of engaging in hate speech.  They are blaming Limbaugh, Beck, and the others for inciting “violence” out there.  And all the while, the left is actually suggesting violence.

7.  Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd, and Henry Waxman have all floated the idea of regulating media content.  Lloyd in particular, being a big fan of Hugo Chavez, has suggested nationalizing all media.  Needless to say, in that situation, the left’s messages would be the only ones allowed on the airwaves, or possibly the Internet.  “Hate speech,” in other words, dissent against the administration, is “hate,” and would be banned in such a scenario.

8.  If they can’t smear and create a crisis by lying, they might just stage their own “Reichstag Fire” in order to create a crisis sufficient to justify banning this “hate speech.”

Kindly consider that everything that I just mentioned has been done before, I covered some of it in my False Flag post.  It’s simply a question of looking at their past behavior, their stated objectives, and their current actions, and we can make some fair estimations as their current intent.  Is it conjecture?  Yes, but conjecture based on previous statements and behavior.  After all, why would we expect those that deal with deception to suddenly become honest?
