Left Wing Media Distorts Conservative Rally
In the days leading up to and on the morning of the “Restoring Honor” rally it was ring-around the liberal networks as every left-leaning news outlet from CBS to MSNBC attempted to paint Glenn Beck’s gathering as, “controversial and political”.
On Friday, ABC ran a headline that read, “Glenn Beck’s Non Political Rally Turns Political” while some blogs and Internet news sources actually pondered if “Beck’s rally would start a race war”?
That same morning also featured a bizarre and baseless attack on Beck from ABC’s Good Morning America, in which editors felt it necessary to piece together comments out of context in order to prove a very fictional point.
In fact, the far-left media spent an entire week ramping up the idea that Beck’s rally was too divisive during a period of racial sensitivity and growing concerns over the nation’s overall direction.
Of course it would have helped if these networks had actually provided evidence to back up their erroneous claims.
And here comes the big shocker. Not one single member of the mainstream networks, or their affiliates, took the same approach towards Al Sharpton’s “Reclaim the Dream” rally, even though the lineup of speakers for that event included NAACP leader Ben Jealous and MSNBC bomb-thrower Ed Schultz.
We all know Mr. Jealous or Mr. Schultz has never made any contentious comments publicly.
So let’s recap here. Glenn Beck is controversial for organizing a Christian-themed peace rally for our troops but Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton have never deliberately uttered a single word that may be deemed political or divisive.
That mentality ranks right up there with installing a screen door on a submarine.
Unfortunately, the media has spent the better part of a week portraying Sharpton’s event as a civil-rights gathering of Americans, as if that other evil rally was a mob of angry white people aimed at overthrowing the government by any means necessary.
At the end of the day, the predictability of the media’s fabricated stories and canned talking points has become laughable.
However, the question everyone in the media should be asking is which rally was proven to actually be more political and racially driven. Here is a look at some play-by-play updates from Sharpton’s rally as blogged by Washington Post reporters.
“Shame on them. We still have a dream. We are here to let those folks on the Mall know that they don’t represent the dream. They sure as hell don’t represent me. They represent hate-mongering and angry white people. The happy white people are here today. We will not let them stand in the way of the change we voted for!”
That excerpt was taken from SEIU-32BJ president Jamie Contreras’s greatest hits.
“If we hadn’t elected a black president, do you think they would be doing this today?” asked Joyce White.
And of course, the obligatory “those tea-baggers” was thrown in the mix.
“Glen Beck, we’re going to show you. We ain’t going to let Glenn Beck turn us around,” one man shouted into a mega phone. The crowd followed him. A few people took photos as they chanted and walked down Constitution Avenue. “We need to be shouting ‘we are America,'” said one woman in Sharpton’s rally. “See all those tea baggers.”
“Don’t let anyone tell you that they have the right to take their country back,” Avis Jones DeWeever, executive director of the National Council of Negro Women told the crowd at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s rally. “It’s our country, too. We will reclaim the dream. It was ours from the beginning.”
It was ours from the beginning? What does that even mean?
Remember when “take back our country” was strategically used by Democrats during the 2004 election cycle? Isn’t it odd how the media can reshape a single phrase to advance a certain political agenda?
Now these same media kooks are making it a point to let everyone know that Beck’s rally was overwhelmingly white providing yet another insinuation that Americans, who are concerned over our nation’s trend away from moral values and into deeper financial debt, are actually closet Klan members.
Imagine if today’s major headlines read, “Reclaim the Dream” rally overwhelmingly black”
The fact of the matter is the media’s blatant attempt to label the majority of Americans as extremist fringe elements of society, while far-left race baiters who have no qualms about stirring controversy all on the grounds of so-called “equality” get a free pass.
But the good news is this is all Bush’s fault.
