Kill the president? April 28, 2005
The political left and its zombi-drones become more hateful, ignorant and vile with each passing day. Their ideology has already disappeared down the toilet, but they maintain by force the academy, the media, and the judicial branch of government.
Air(head) America's latest ploy to buy itself another 15 minutes of fame by inciting its remaining three audience members to kill the president is more than just a stunt. It's the way the left really thinks. And in the end – which this is – it's the way the left has always acted. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro – millions upon millions of their own citizens murdered because they were a threat to the left's ism du jour.
Why has the left in America now resorted to the threat of murder? What other course of action do they have remaining?
They are dominant on university campuses only because they have physically vanquished the opposition – not because they overcame conservative ideas. Jews, Christians and conservatives need not apply; rabid feminists, homo-revisionist historians, Palestinian terrorists and phony, demented wannabe American Indians: Sign here, please!
In the media, tilting the news leftward is no longer enough for the mainlining un-American news media. Their "ethics" already allow for the manufacture of phony documents in support of events that "should have happened" to advance the left's agenda – but didn't. The once-great BBC now plants reporters as hecklers in Tory political gatherings – to help create the kind of stories that are designed to deflect coverage of the real news at the event.
Now, Big Media propaganda back home is into phony polls. First, questions are worded to elicit the desired response. If that doesn't yield a headline capable of advancing their leftist agenda in tomorrow's news, the next step is to "adjust" the number of Democrats in the sample upward and the number of Republicans downward. That's the approach used by ABC News and the Washington Post in their filibuster poll this week. As Powerlineblog.com on Tuesday notes:
If you look at page 16 of the poll data, which can be downloaded from the Post's article, it discloses that 35 percent of the poll's respondents were Democrats, while only 28 percent were Republicans. Given that slightly more self-identified Republicans than Democrats voted in last November's election, this represents an egregious, seven-point over-sampling of Democrats. No wonder the poll data are bad for Republicans.
But that was the entire purpose of the poll: It yielded a headline that the Post could use to club Republicans in the Senate over the head with. Polls today are a media-intimidation device directed at Republican Congressmen, Senators, the President and senior officials. The message they send is, "You're out of touch, you're too far to the right, you don't represent the public. Back off."
The correct response to this journalistic malpractice is for the Republicans to put the pedal to the metal and ram the public's agenda right down the front pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the alphabet soup news networks and the Democratic Party (a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros). We'll know the Republicans in Congress have grown a spine when we see the tire treads on Big Media's face, and we hear the squeals over at MoveOn.org. worldnetdaily.com |
