Media Strikes Again

There is a deliberate attempt to stifle normal political discourse by Obama's media foot soldiers, bolstered by the slime at the Southern Poverty Law Center, and originated in the notorious Department of Homeland Security report that characterized those with principled opposition to where Obama wants to take us as a cabal of dangerous right-wing extremists who needed great government scrutiny as they attempt to conflate the tea party movement and other legitimate resistance to Obamaism with its unchecked intrusiveness of government and unprecedented levels of spending with acts of violence perpetrated by unstable leftists. Continuing this trend of broad brushing the right with acts of madness was today's ABC Good Morning America where Bill Weir interviewed a former FBI agent and conveyed the sense that violence is just a step away in any legitimate dissent against Obama. This is an insult to those who demur from the Obama line in general and rightists in particular. I find it amazing that so little dinosaur media time and attention has been devoted to the motivation for the Fort Hood and Arkansas recruiting post attacks both committed by Muslims while so much focus has been devoted to the IRS Texas kamikaze, the Holocaust Museum attack, and the recent Pentagon assault. While acts of jihad in America are minimized and mischaracterized deliberately to separate them from their religious context, the three attacks carried out by white males and their bizarre action (as leftists) is being used to tar all those who would dare just say no to Obama.
