The "party of peace" is out in force again, with one unifying theme: Hatred. I'm loving the protest coverage. Shall we play spot-the-spin? It's almost too easy: Even a game of tic-tac-toe with a two move handicap is more challenging. Let's see how WABC-TV reports the brutal assault of NYPD plainclothes detective, and peacemaker, Lt. William Sample. I picked this example of bias in the following manner: I went to Google News and clicked on the very first match which came up. So you can see I'm really rigging this game.
Two sides? Which two sides? A solo, unidentified detective and group of protestors? Give me a break. Perhaps his crime was wearing a suit and thus looking like a Republican ripe for for a good face-stomping and kicking. Read this sentence, cleverly buried at the bottom of the article, away from this text, and see how much sense the "two sides clash" narrative makes:
So, Sample was driving by. How provacative! Which other side again? Perhaps the reporter wants to make it look like conservatives had something to do with this. In fact, we'll need to look to an entirely different article to discover who the "other side" really was:
Ah, protestors ran into protestors, and a cop gets caught in the crush, and the scooter "fell onto someone's leg", said the witness. Certainly warrants a good stomping, I'd say. And what horrible acts of police aggression set the mood for this "reaction"?
Yeah, how dare those officer put down barriers for emergency vehicles. Meanwhile, back to the KABC-TV article:
I love that. "Most" are peaceful. Good to know they didn't quite hit the 50% mark. Now the weather: "Despite scattered tornado devastation, most cities are still left standing." So they were thwarted as they tried to cross barriers: How dare they be denied the ability to do to delegates what they did to Detective Sample? Again, notice how they react when they don't get what they want: Violence is their first reflex.
Really? Which policies? Are the poor really affected? This rendering forces you to accept the proposition. Let's see how it should have been worded:
Question: Do you think if veterans marched against John Kerry's "duplicity", they wouldn't get an "alleged" before that word? You bet! -- they'd get all kinds of disqualifiers -- "alleged, claimed, supposedly" -- if they got any ink at all. And here's another omitted detail about these left-leaning, morally superior protestors:
Tactics 101: Leftists love to pick some sympathetic group of people, often people who can't speak for themselves, and then pretend to represent those people's views, putting leftist words into their mouths. In this case, the fine folks who attacked the plainclothes detective were the "Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign." Want to guess how many of these marchers were poor?
So, the "mostly peaceful" protestors actually attacked two policemen? I'm sure this is of great help to the poor. Hey, but let's all remember that the Republicans did similar things during the DNC's conference. Right? .... Oh.
Bringing the running total to about 550 arrests. Repeat this until you believe it: Mostly peaceful. Mostly peaceful...
A white male has the audacity to tell a black woman that she is not authentically black. Behold the irony. Only among leftists. Also note that God, or whatever, is certainly on Zack's side: God shouldn't be talked about too much, except he's when working for leftists, sending conservatives (or cops, should no actual conservatives be available) to hell for failing to do whatever leftists want them to at that moment. This characteristic low tolerance for "disobedience" (of others to them) is why I'm convinced "totalitarians" is the more accurate label. They are not anarchists at all: They want a very strong government, but they simply want to be the ones in charge. They certainly don't want everyone to do whatever they want (such as speak opposing ideas). Just them. They only reason they want to create a power vacuum is so they can then fill it with themselves.
Yes, just like Ghandi and Reverend Martin Luther King.
Spot on.
I love that last one. We report on incident after incident of violence, each time saying, assuringly, that except for this one, things have been mostly peaceful. Yes, I'm sure the fire marred things. So did stomping detective Sample. So did the brawl over their inability to attack delegates. And countless obscenities and threats of bodily harm, which I guess are "peaceful".
A few of the protestors said Kerry was just as bad as Bush -- he's "Bush lite". Really? Then where were the protests at the DNC convention? They say Kerry isn't sufficiently far to the left. Yet recall that Kerry is the Senate's most liberal member, and you can get an idea in which direction these people want to take our country. Stalingrad, I think.
Don't tell me the gospel isn't radical. What can I say? The web is a moving target, and I never got around to finishing that caching utility. Posted by: Tim (Random Observations) on December 31, 2007 12:34 AM Add your two cents...

Now go read this about how delegates are being harrassed.
Delegate #404, I presume? ;-)
