Due to circumstances beyond ML's control, I woke up before she did and posted this. Because, you see, I believe she was hinting in that pos from yesterday (her acronym, not mine) that since she posted that pos that I should likely feel the need to post this one today.
So, I'll try my best to keep up the integrity of the pos posts here in order to make everyone happy.
HEH!!!!
Thanks again hon! |
| oh, Christ! Lucianne's little boy, er, large dough pants boy, Jonah is in a tizzy because the "liberal media"
hold a minute while I piss myself laughing
okay, where was I? Oh yes....
the "liberal media" is biased against right wing fuckhead types. Which those of us that live in the real world know is complete bullshit, but being a konservative, Jonah must play the victim at every opportunity, so here he is in all his ignorance in an article entitled To Hell With You People:
Look, I am past exhausted talking about liberal media bias. It's real, we all know it, and people who deny it aren't even fooling themselves. But some things just have to be pointed out. This morning I watched the first 15 minutes of the Today Show. I don't particularly love or even like the program, but I find it useful to see what the producers think is the big news of the day. And sometimes Chuck Todd is on, and I like him. If I sound defensive about watching the show it's only because I am.
Anyway, the first ten minutes was about Gabby Giffords' return to the House yesterday. I'm not sure it merited the full ten minutes or trumped the hard news that later followed, but it's a great story and everyone is rooting for the lady, so I'm fine with it.
But think about this for a second. The Giffords shooting sent the media elite in this country into a bout of St. Vitus's dance that would have warranted an army of exorcists in previous ages. Sarah Palin's Facebook map was an evil totem that forced some guy to go on a shooting spree. The New York Times, the Washington Post, all three broadcast networks - particularly NBC whose senior foreign-affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, devotes, by my rough reckoning, ten times as much air time to whining about Sarah Palin as she does about anything having to do with foreign affairs - flooded the zone with "Have you no shame" finger wagging. A memo went forth demanding that everyone at MSNBC get their dresses over their heads about the evil "tone" from the right. Media Matters went into overdrive working the interns 24/7 to "prove" that Republicans deliberately foment violence with their evil targets on their evil congressional maps.
Now this is just a start. You really should go read the whole thing, but I'll bring you just a small bit more to give you something to help you decide whether you wish to sully your screen with the likes of National Review.

So flashforward to this week. Tom Friedman - who knows a bit about Hezbollah - calls the tea partiers the "Hezbollah faction" of the GOP bent on taking the country on a "suicide mission." All over the place, conservative Republicans are "hostage takers" and "terrorists," "terrorists" and "traitors." They want to "end life as we know it on this planet," says Nancy Pelosi. They are betraying the Founders, too. Chris Matthews all but signs up for the "Make an Ass of Yourself" contest at the State Fair. Joe Nocera writes today that "the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests." Lord knows what Krugman and Olbermann have said.
Then last night, on the very day Gabby Giffords heroically returns to cast her first vote since that tragic attack seven months ago, the vice president of the United States calls the Republican party a bunch of terrorists.
No one cares. I hate the "if this were Bush" game so we're in luck. Instead imagine if this was Dick Cheney calling the Progressive Caucus (or whatever they're called) a "bunch of terrorists" on the day Giffords returned to the Congress. Would the mainstream media notice or care? Would Meet the Press debate whether this raises "troubling questions" about the White House's sensitivity? Would Andrea Mitchell find some way to blame Sarah Palin for Dick Cheney's viciousness? Would Keith Olbermann explode like a mouse subjected to the Ramone's music in Rock and Roll High School? Something inside me hidden away shouts, "Hell yes they would!"
I'm going to put the link here, because I really believe everyone should read this shit to get a true look at what konservatives really think is happening to them. They have played the victim for so long and so hard that they can't help themselves anymore. I only saw this because the whack-a-loons at RedHate were all up in arms and agreeing with this complete and utter upside down, bizarro world description of irrationality and pure ignorance.
Here is the link if you so choose:

If you did chose to read it all, tell me this. Could anyone be more less self aware than these kooks? |
