Droopy Phones C-Span to Criticize "Leftist" Media

Another philosophically serious criticism from Droopy:

Why do you think that is, aussieguy?

I know Droopy lives in that part of the country, but besides the general tone, what reason is there to think that was him on the line?

No reason at all.

However, Scratch doesn't let things like lack of evidence or being crazy crazy stand in the way of some good slander.

The NAACP has about 90% of them under their thumb. But this is always the reaction of the left in response to opposition. Declare racism and go home when it is they themselves who are the racists.

It could be that they are just trying to kick the caffeine addiction or else see a potential lynch mob or right-wing death squad right in the making. You have to admit, these teabaggers seem pretty Contra in their global outlook.

Last month I was debating a guy who was heavily into the Tea Party movement. I noted that most of them appear to be middle-aged caucasians and he assured me that he had rubbed elbows in the streets with dozens of blacks and Hispanics.

Funny how you never see any of these minorities in the dozens of google photos of the events. After scrubbing through dozens of photos I think I found one. Down at the bottom right hand corner I circled what appears to be an fluke... maybe she was lost. If not, I just wonder how this person would feel after a Tea Party leader holds up a sign with the "N" word or how she would feel when her cohorts throw out racial slurs towards black politicians.

It truly takes a moron to argue that a group comprised of at least 99.99% caucasians, is not encouraged by any race-based criticisms. They represent only 65% of the country and practically 100% of the anti-Obama movement.

Once you discard all the other reasons they use to justify their existence, all that is left is race. The Tea Party, funded and operated by Koch Industries, suddenly appears the month of Obama's inauguration while claiming they are upset about big government which George Bush gave us? It doesn't add up. Virtually everything they try to claim about Obama is either false or more attributable to Bush.

Limbaugh drones like bcspace want to accuse me of throwing out talking points by throwing out talking points about Soros. I'll see your George Soros and raise you a Koch and Murdoch. Who have dumped more money into indoctrinating Americans than Soros could ever hope to do.

Incidentally, I saw how FOX News has hired Sarah Palin to host a new show called "Real American Stories." The advertisement listed a few names who would be included on the show. Among them was a CEO of General Electric, which really wasn't surprising because FOX and the far Right try to make CEO's appear to be true American patriots and symbols that we should all try to emulate. Redneck country singer Toby Keith was another face on the ad, which again, no surprise there. What caught my attention was that it said "L.L. Cool J" would be included also, and it showed him sitting down in what appeared to be an interview.

Well, as it turns out, FOX lifted that clip from an older interview which had nothing to do with Palin. He was pissed when he found out about this because he was not interviewed for that show but they clearly used his face to appear more inclusive.

This is hilarious because it just goes to show how desperate these efforts are to appear non-racist, by dragging out whatever black man they can to throw on the front page. I mean if there is no racist element, then why bend over backwards to appear non-racist?
