The mango so you don’t have to leave the boat and behold the ugliest place on the web (besides Col. Mustard’s place, maybe):
A reader asks a good question about news coverage of events in Wisconsin:
BTW…in no MSM coverage I have seen is there ANY note that the crowd is “predominantly white”…. Why is that?
Heh. We all remember how liberal news coverage of tea party rallies rarely failed to note that they were “predominantly white.” Somehow, that is no longer a salient fact when the same outlets cover illegal sick-outs by Wisconsin teachers. Why would that be?
Obviously, I’m just kidding, as was our reader. We all know the answer.
The stupid. It hurts.
It burns. Like acid to the face.
Tres elegante, T+U
But the Republicans had Herman Cain!
I am sure he thinks he is being clever.
BADGERS!!
People didn’t call teabaggers racist because most of them were white. They called teabaggers racist because of the way they eagerly blamed minorities and the programs benefiting them for the financial crisis, and because of their obsession with the new president’s identity (He’s a Muslim! He’s a Kenyan! He’s a black nationalist!)
In other words, we called teabaggers racist because they were racist.
AK–Oh, this old thing? 😉
Chris–Calling things as they actually are! In accordance with reality! Imagine that!
Yes, it’s very facist.
