Thread: Why Isn't The Obamaniacs' Rage On Front Page Too?

While I am an independent. I do have a conservative bent. I don't think the media has been as fair to denounce the left's rage. There seems to be much more violent rhetoric coming from the left in the country. Where is the concern for McCain and Palin from the media?????

Why Isn’t The Obamaniacs’ Rage On Your Front Page Too?By Michelle Malkin

When a few unruly McCain-Palin supporters show their anger at campaign rallies, it's national news.

It's an epidemic of "Weimar-like rage" and "violent escalation of rhetoric," according to New York Times columnist Frank Rich. It's the "re-emergence of the far right as a power in American politics," according to Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne. It's a mass movement of GOP crowds "gripped by insane rage," according to newly minted Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman.

Too bad they don't give out global awards for the Blindest Eyes in Punditocracy. We've just hit a trifecta.

Are a few activists on the right getting out of hand? Probably. Between massive ACORN voter fraud, Bill Ayers' and Jeremiah Wright's unrepentant hatred of America, and John McCain's inability to nail Barack Obama on his longtime alliances with all of the above, conservatives have plenty to shout about these days.

BBut a couple of random catcallers do not a mob make. And there's an overflowing abundance of electoral rage on the left that won't make it onto your newspaper's front page.

Last month on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a small, brave contingent of McCain supporters marched through the streets with campaign signs. They were met by a menacing horde of New Yorkers who displayed their disapproval with a barrage of jeers and vulgar gestures. ("The number of middle fingers in the 'progressive crowd' is directly proportional to the number of Ph.D. degrees in the 10-block radius," one of the witnesses wryly observed.) A YouTube video of the confrontation now has nearly half a million views (www.youtube.com and search "Pro-McCain March in Manhattan").

But don't expect to find it on the nightly news. It doesn't fit the Angry Right narrative.

Neither does the near-riotous reaction of Obama supporters to a McCain-Palin sign in Democrat-dominated Prince George's County, Md. Buried in a back local section, The Washington Post reported this week that "pandemonium" broke loose when an unsuspecting businessman erected a "Country First. McCain/Palin." message on the marquee at his Colony South Hotel & Conference Center.

"Operators of neighborhood e-mail group lists cried foul to their memberships. The NAACP logged calls. Community leaders demanded boycotts of the hotel, a common venue for Democratic events," the little-noticed article reported. A black professor called the sign "a stink bomb in the middle of the living room" of Obama land. The poor hotel manager, Alan Vahabzadeh, surrendered. "I didn't even realize it was going to be like this."[ Candidate Banners Can Leave Clients, Businesses Bruised, By Avis Thomas-Lester, Washington Post, October 12, 2008]

Can't blame him for missing the fiery hint from Portland, Ore.—where two deranged vandals were arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a McCain yard sign in the middle of the night.

Nope, that didn't make it into the columns of Rich, Dionne or Krugman. Doesn't fit the Angry Right narrative.

Speaking of "violent escalation of rhetoric" you never hear about:

Obama supporters in Philadelphia sported "Sarah Palin is a [disgusting vulgarism referring to female genitalia]" T-shirts and yelled, "Let's stone her, old school" over the weekend.

An Internet artist has designated Palin an "M.I.L.P."—"Mother I'd Like to Punch"—and published a drawing of a man's fist knocking a tooth out of the Alaska governor's mouth and the glasses off her face.

"ABORT Palin" graffiti has sprouted on the sidewalks of Seattle, and "Abort Sarah Palin" bumper stickers are spreading in Web stores.

Palin-bashing Madonna performs before an audience of thousands, screeching and threatening to "kick her a**."

Getty Images publishes a photo of a man pointing a fake gun at the head of a cardboard cutout of Palin on display at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition building.
And no one blinks. Not a peep from the Obamedia.

But when Palin simply spotlights Obama's longtime relationship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill "We Didn't Do Enough" Ayers?

"Inciting violence," frets NBC reporter Ron Allen.

"Concerned … for Sen. Obama's safety," agonizes ABC reporter Terry Moran.

"Beyond the pale," cries Obama campaign manager David Plouffe. As if the no-holds-barred Obama campaign has ever had a rhetorical pale to stake.

All the world's a Kabuki stage for the selectively outraged over rage.

Where are the disgruntled Democrats in the media. The media makes no attempts to hide the disgruntled Republican voters.

Am I to believe that there is no such animal as a disgruntled Democrat?

More left wing, commie influenced media bias at work.

Where are you disgruntled Democrats? Has the media hidden you amongst the Independents? Speak up!

Surely not all Democrats are drunk on the dribble of communism!

Has our educational (?) - indoctrinational system, combined with the MSM's dribble worked so well that the sheep are drunk and cannot smell the blood from the butcher's shop which is busy working overtime and paying double-time rates to those who weild the knives?

The pigs have taken control of the farm house. What will they eat next?

Their own?

Pigs have a voracious appetite, discernment is thrown to the wind when pigs are at the trough. They will eat their own!

Oh, no....they don't mention a word. It is disgusting here with some black columnists demanding McCain make all these apologies.....but many have no back-up on the cases they report....or any acknowledgement of crazier stuff comming from their supporters.

In yesterdays paper, paper.....not internet version, or I couldn't find it....was an article about Chicago Police being ready with riot and crowd control gear in Chicago. Whether he wins or looses, but they have promised riots in the streets if he doesn't. Either way.....expect chaos.

Maybe I'm just not with the right crowd, but I don't think I've taken it to the streets in excitement or rioted if I was angry because of an election. I mean complete with riot gear?.......

I'm independent also. I certainly wouldn't support any party that sticks up for drug addicts, child pornographers, molesters, cop killers, etc. But I don't want to lose my money in a stock market scam, either!

The Democratic party has ceased to be the Party of hard working, productive Americans; it now seems to be overladen with lawyers, analysts, commentators, philosophers, media. The Talking Head bunch. Always trying to figure out what is wrong but not doing anything to fix it.

I am appalled at the way the MSM ha covered the presidential election, especially starting with the dems/repubs party nomination. The way the media treated Clinton and how they allowed the other democratic presidential candidates gang up on her when she was clearly ahead and about to claim the nomination. Then for the MSM to push forward Mccain knowing he couldn't probably win against Obama instead of having Mitt Romney as the nominee. I think if Huckabee had dropped out and it was head to head Romney would have won. This isn't democracy, this is the media making the winners and picking for us along with groups like ACORN. I am no longer a democrat because the only thing they stand for is corruption and they blame the republicans for everything. Soon Bush will be out of office but still they'll cry it's the mess he left behind.

The liberal media is going all out to elect the first black President, they don't care if we turn into the USSR in the process.
