vetting Rush Limbaugh?

what?

Media Matters follows Rush's every utterance, then disseminates it to the MSM, which dutifully reports it. Media Matters recently bragged that they're responsible for about half of MSNBC's content these days.

The issue is not whether public figures should be vetted, but that there is a gross inadequacy in the vetting of liberal politicians, commentators, etc. Conservative bloggers are trying to pick up the slack. That's really all there is to it.

MSM is just conservative parlance for liberal establishment media, such as the major networks, newspapers, and periodicals. It's just easier to say MSM. You know this.

It seems we have come to the point that entertainers/actors and the press/news have become one in the same.

We reached that point over a decade ago.

I've watched the first video (apparently, there are more on the way). It's a video of Obama as a Harvard law student leading a "strike" in favor of Derrick Bell, a black radical and former Harvard professor. Obama praised Bell for "speaking the truth" and encouraged the protesters to "open their hearts and minds" to Bell's teachings, which include:
- America is a "racist nation" carrying out a "quasi-genocide in the inner cities"
- Socialism. "The whole (classical) liberal worldview of private rights and public sovereignty mediated by the rule of law needed to be exploded."
- Marxism.
- "Black people are the magical faces at the bottom of society's well.  Even the poorest whites, those who must live their lives only a few levels above, gain their self-esteem by gazing down on us.  Surely, they must know that their deliverance depends on letting down their ropes.  Only by working together is escape possible.  Over time, many reach out, but most simply watch, mesmerized into maintaining their unspoken commitment to keeping us where we are, at whatever cost to them or to us."
- "Space Traders" Not making this up.

At the end of the day, this is hardly something that will derail Obama's candidacy. Just another radical friend and mentor of our President, along with Wright, Ayers, etc. The pattern continues.

[LickNeckey]

Good Lord I see it now,

Obama was also fighting for equal opportunities for Blacks and Women at the same time.  This completes the pattern and cements him as the anti-christ of the conservative movement.

It all makes sense now.  It all makes sense.


"Bell was the first black tenured professor at the school, and a pioneer of "critical race theory," which insisted, controversially, on reading issues of race and power into legal scholarship. His protest that spring was occasioned by Harvard's denial of tenure to a black woman professor, Regina Austin, at a time when only three of the law school's professors were black and only five women. He told Harvard he would take a leave of absence — a kind of academic strike — "until a woman of color is offered and accepted a tenured position on this faculty," and he launched a hunger strike to dramatize his point."

Soooo, the administration at Harvard was racist AND sexist. Cool... Thanks!

[LickNeckey]

were the protests about something other than equal opportunities for african americans and women?

 

[ChiComCat]

This crap is so stupid.  Obama defended a guy so instantly, he was defending the most radical things the guy ever said.  I've said stupid crap in my day, and if someone says I am a good guy, they are not necessarily agreeing with everything I've ever said.

Also, Obama has not been giving the country a false sense of security for 4 years to put radicals in charge after reelection.  He has, in fact, put together one of the most bi-partisan staffs.

Debate about his politics and policies.  Debating this crap just ruins political discourse.  Likewise, I don't give a crap about what Rush says.  I don't give a crap if Republicans like Rush.  As long as they don't explicitly endorse his stupidest statements, I have enough faith that they know where the line is.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Yes. It was actually a "strike" in support of Bell himself. The "professor" went on unpaid leave to, ironically, protest the lack of affirmative-action hiring at Harvard. Bell did this in response to being summoned to the university president's office to explain why he had sent the president "a letter filled with violent fantasies — including their own death from a bomb planted in his office by white racists. Bell explained that such extremism is what it would take to get the administration to agree to grant more affirmative-action programs."

You can spin Bell all you want as nothing more than a "legal scholar" and "a pioneer of critical race theory." The man was a radical and a nut, just like Jeremiah Wright. This is the diseased mind that spawned "Space Traders." And yet, again and again, Obama is proven to have cozied up to these lunatics. I look forward to the next tape. Who knows what other nut job "friends of Barack" will be revealed?

so is the point proven that the video is nothing, and only extremists like you will read anything into it?

ChiCat restores my faith in discourse on this board.

The K-S-U guy seems like most of the dudes on the weird neo-con conspiracy board over at GPC.

[MakeItRain]

Still no rough ridin' video.  I guess the fat homeless looking crap stain didn't have a chance to Shirley Sherrod the video before he ate himself to death.  I guess we'll never see whatever boring ass raw video Andrew attempted to alter.

[LickNeckey]

Obama probably used his heart attack ray on the videos.

I'm with you on most of what you say, but this is perplexing. His staff seems to be mostly radical far left wingnuts. Can you name off some conservatives on his staff, cabinet, and czars? And what about his supreme court noms? Seem pretty radical.

Robert Gates and Ray LaHood are both republicans.

Obama must like federal highways more than you. 

[Dugout DickStone]

Still really curious about this damning video.  What is the timeline for its release?

[ChiComCat]

Robert Gates and Ray LaHood are both republicans.

Obama must like federal highways more than you. 

Huntsman was the ambassador to China.  Thats a pretty big role.

I'd say speaking Mandarin was probably a bigger factor than party affiliation, but good start, guys.
