Reflections From a Murky Pond

With the LSM either taking their clues from the White House or providing them to Obama’s handlers, it’s still the odds on bet that Mitt Romney will be the GOP Nominee in the 2012 elections. That has been well proven by the ongoing attacks thinly veiled as debate questions posed to more Conservative candidates – when they’re allowed to speak at all.

Really, they should just have debates with only Mitt Romney in them. There’d still be all sides of every issue represented.

30 Seconds! What Do They Do With The Other 27?

Still, as the LSM’s and Obama’s presumptive GOP nominee Romney does make an interesting comparison against Obama.

Obama was raised as a Muslim and may share in all or part of their ideology and Romney has changed political positions so often he looks like a Whirling Dervish. Romney has held every position on every issue during his political tenure and Obama has done his best to hold none.

This is going to give a whole new and sad meaning to “All or Nothing.”

According to Fox News’ commentator Juan Williams, Americans and American values are just racist and every single one of the GOP candidates is using dog-whistle for racist epithets.

Race Is Always A Trigger In Politics

This is an odd attitude for a man who lost his job for speaking honestly when that honesty didn’t align with his previous Liberal masters’ anti-American agenda.

It’s an even odder attitude for the man who authored Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America–and What We Can Do About It

In Enough he wrote that too many black Americans are in crisis – caught in a twisted hip-hop culture, dropping out of school, ending up in jail, having babies when they are not ready to be parents, and falling to the bottom in twenty-first-century global economic competition.

Yet, despite his previous run in with political correctness and his previous written work, Williams’ response to Americans’ indignation at how he misconducted the Fox News/Wall Street Journal GOP Primary debate in Myrtle Beach, SC was:

Race is always a trigger in politics, but now a third of the nation are people of color — and their numbers are growing. With those minorities solidly in the Democratic camp and behind the first black president, the scene is set for a bonanza of racial politics.

The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message. The code words in this game are “entitlement society” — as used by Mitt Romney — and “poor work ethic” and “food stamp president” — as used by Newt Gingrich. References to a lack of respect for the “Founding Fathers” and the “Constitution” also make certain ears perk up by demonizing anyone supposedly threatening core “old-fashioned American values.”

– Juan Williams

This from a man who spent 233 pages in Enough bluntly and forthrightly – not a dog-whistle to be heard – lambasting and execrating Black Leaders and the entirety of the “Black Community” as being perversions and debasements of Black Culture and as having squandered every civil rights gain since the Civil War?

Then again, perhaps Williams’ attitude isn’t odd at all. Williams is one of those “people of color” and, if he’s also one of the majority of them who is “behind the first black president,” what  better way to undermine the entire opposition to his boy, Obama getting handed a second term as POTUS than to decry anything and everything they say as somehow being “code words” or “dog-whistles” for racist sentiments.

Or maybe Williams is just trying to get his old job at NPR back, who knows?

For the most part the lamestream has industriously avoided providing any coverage of Ron Paul’s campaign in the 2012 Republican Primaries. Acknowledging Ron Paul as a statistically meaningful candidate was not something the MSM was willing to do. They barely even allowed him any time during the debates.

Lamestream Media Coverage Of GOP Primaries

Consistently poor polling by the Lamestream Media’s two “acceptable” GOP candidates, Mitt Romney and John Huntsman, and solid polling by Ron Paul eventually forced the Lamestream Media to acknowledge Ron Paul’s existence and his campaign. They finally has to take him seriously.

Of course the Leftists’ media outlets which make up the vast bulk of the MSM responded to Ron Paul’s refusal to disapear was much like their response to similar Conservative candidates who the MSM felt were a threat to their kingmaking agenda.

Unlike Herman Cain, the MSM didn’t drag up and sensationalize complaints of sexual misconduct from women of dubious credibility and less virtue. They dredged up cherry-picked sentences from decades of Ron Paul’s newsletters instead.

It’d be funny if the lamestream media’s continued existence wasn’t such a threat to America. Even with the clear and present danger they pose to America it’s still ironic that they rant and whine about bigotry when their political mantra is clearly, “Conservatives Need Not Apply.”
