With friends like these, who needs Keith Olbermann?
While engaging in astonishing viciousness, vulgarity and violence toward Republicans, liberals accuse cheerful, law-abiding tea-party activists of being violent racists.
Responding to these vile charges, conservative television pundits think it’s a great comeback to say: “There is the fringe on both sides.”
Both sides? Really? How about: “That’s a complete lie”? Did that occur to you simpering morons as a possible reply to the slanderous claim that conservatives are fiery racists?
The most notorious accusations of “racism” at anti-Obama rallies so far has consisted of the allegation that one black congressman was spat on and another called the N-word 15 times at an anti-Obamacare rally on Capitol Hill last March.
The particularly sensitive Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., perhaps walking too closely to a protester chanting “Kill the Bill,” was hit with some spittle – and briefly thought he was a Freedom Rider! When observers contested Cleaver’s account – with massive video evidence – he walked back from his claim of being spat upon.
The slanderous claim that a protester called the civil-rights hero John Lewis the N-word 15 times was an outrageous lie – never made by Lewis himself – but promoted endlessly by teary-eyed reporters, most of whom cannot count to 15.
The media never retracted it, even after the N-word allegation was proved false with a still-uncollected $100,000 reward for two seconds of video proof taken from a protest crawling with video cameras and reporters hungry for an act of racism.
