Name That Party!

The New York Times writes a full-length article on the bribery conviction of former Charlotte mayor Patrick Cannon, without noting anywhere in the article that he is a Democrat.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...

The Obama Justice Department Finally Notices the Knockout Game

They finally noticed it because it was finally committed by a white criminal against a black victim.

*cough*(double standard)*cough*

Shut Up, Peasant!

See the violence inherent in the system.

Not To Put Too Fine a Point On It...

...but when Democrats go on The View, the resident hags wear kneepads; when Republicans go on, the hags switch to boxing gloves.

And Mitt Romney should just come right out and say it on the record, but he's too much of a gentleman to do so.

Not To Put Too Fine a Point On It...

Vice President Joseph Biden, to a mostly black audience: They want to put y'all back in chains!

MSM: heh heh heh.

Mitt Romney: “No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where both of us were born and raised.”

MSM: rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb.

Meanwhile, In Seneca, SC...

...we see the MSM's preferred outcome in black/white encounters:

Police have charged six black men with beating a white man outside a Seneca restaurant and have sent information about the attack to the FBI to determine if hate crime charges should also be filed.

Authorities say the victim told investigators that a group of men called him racially charged names as he walked to his vehicle in the parking lot March 17.

The man told police he was hit, and when he tried to fight back, the group attacked him.

But hey, at least he didn't pull out a gun and shoot those animals. Gotta look on the bright side, right?

If It Had Been Detroit and the Cop Shot a George W. Bush Target...

...he'd have been promoted.

Just sayin'.

One Man's Hike Is Another Man's Cut

"Obama: A payroll tax hike will damage recovery."

What it actually is, is the end of a payroll tax "holiday" that was passed earlier in Obama's term of office. Sort of like the "tax cut for the rich" that was passed by President Bush way back in the early 2000's. Why is it that ending a tax cut that Democrats approve of is referred to as a "tax hike" but the ending of a tax that Democrats disapprove of is "letting the Bush tax cuts expire?"

Never mind, we know the answer to that.

When the Story Is Incomplete

"Former CMS bus driver accused of murder in bar fight," reads the headline in The Charlotte Observer, which perhaps gives the impression of working-class women getting involved in a fight that involves more than scratching and hair-pulling. One of 'em probably stole the other girl's boyfriend, you might think to yourself.

You'd be wrong. Tara Servatius, Charlotte's own (and best) muck-raking reporter, supplies the facts that The Charlotte Observer didn't want to share with you: that the bar in question, Hartigan's Irish Pub, is frequented by "butch" lesbians, and the death was probably a gay-on-gay killing. The Observer wouldn't report that because it's not politically correct and doesn't fit their narrative.

MSM bias often is not what is reported, but what is omitted. Much of the 2008 presidential campaign was like that, with every salacious/embarrassing detail involving Republicans trotted out for inspection, while details about Barack Obama were curiously left unmentioned. The same is happening now in the 2012 presidential race, with the MSM so far successful in sliming vetting Michele Bachman, Rick Perry, and Herman Cain. They're also starting on Newt Gingrich. Sarah Palin and other qualified candidates (well, qualified in the sense that Barack Obama was qualified) have also been discouraged from even running by the prospect of the savage "vetting" that Republicans receive and Democrats don't.

The double standard is what it is. It won't change, and Republicans/conservatives/Christians have to get used to it. Having said that, Republicans need to mention it more in interviews; take a page from Hillary Clinton and begin talking of a vast, media conspiracy to slime everyone with an (R) after their name. We've seen Newt Gingrich be successful with such a policy so far this election season. The MSM needs to have their feet held in the fire and called on their double standard.

Rick Perry's Camp Niggerhead

The MSM does the vetting it never does on Democrat candidates, finding a troubling story from all the way back in the 80's to throw at Rick Perry.

When Sarah Palin Does It, Banner Headlines...

...When Barack Obama does it...

Shhh. Don't say anything, maybe the wingers won't notice.

h/t Instapundit.

It's A Funny Old World

It's a funny old world, ain't it, where the Constitution is in dreadful danger if we don't allow Muslims to build a mosque near Ground Zero, but the Constitution is perfectly safe if we forbid Christians from burning books that they purchased with their own money?

Wow.

Our President, a constitutional lawyer and senior lecturer teaching that subject, apparently can't distinguish between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Damn, if Bush had made a mistake like that...or Sarah Palin...

But you know how that goes, right?

A Shiny Gold Tooth

Blacks in Memphis, Tennessee, led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, got up in arms over a mural depicting a black woman with a gold tooth, not realizing that the mural depicted a living person.

From Bob's Lexicon of Sardonic Invective:

stereotyping: v. to draw conclusions based on observed behavior, usually by an individual without a college degree. When a person with a B.S. degree draws conclusions based on observed behavior, the act is known as anthropology.

NY Times Public Editor On Edwards Affair

Liberal bias? Nothing of the kind. Double standard? Don't be silly.


How can Clark Hoyt survive on the diet of pure, unadulterated bullshit that Bill Keller feeds him on a regular basis?

I Doubt They'd Publish A "Crucified Mohammad" Photo

The London Times publishes a photo of a crucified frog that is on display at a museum near where the Pope is enjoying his summer vacation:

Here's the frog, rather grotesque-looking:



Anyway, the local populace is up in arms about the frog, and want it moved/removed from the museum. Same old story of an artist desiring to offend, but choosing his targets wisely; same with the media.
