Daily Gut: It's the Media Ginning Up Racial Hatred

Krugman

Paul Krugman is so adorable when he’s delusional.

Today the bearded boob lays the blame for the Holocaust shooting and the Tiller murder on the conservative media and Republicans in general. Meanwhile, the AP broadens the scope to basically anyone who doesn’t light a candle before a handpainted portrait of Barack Obama. The writer Jesse Washington’s conclusion: “The potential for an increase in violence from whites who feel they are slipping from power is high, people from across the ideological spectrum say.”

“People from across the ideological spectrum?” You mean you, Jesse, you scamp!

And so the lefty media is doing exactly what they’re accusing the rest of us of doing: fomenting hate against people who hold different views from their own.

Does the “far right” do this? I have yet to read anything saying the murder of that American soldier by the American jihadist was the responsibility of Paul Krugman or Keith Olbermann. And it’s been years since the beltway shooter took out a pile of people – and still not a peep about his motivations. From the media’s perspective, only white men can be dangerously angry.

Let’s compare how two different killings were reported: in this Holocaust shooting, it was saddled with sociological musings, obsessing on the motivation, and pronouncements of a national trend of “desperate” white men. Of course, for this to work, the writer has to ignore the Jewish hatred from the far left, including our President’s own preacher. He also has to bypass the fact that the pathetic killer also hated Bush.

And as for the killing of our US soldier? The motivation is ignored.

Forget “white hate,” this is all about politics. And It’s getting Kafka-esque–every time I look at the news, I’m being told I’m a criminal for not buying into universal health care, global warming, higher taxes – in fact, my bedrock conservative beliefs are a sign of a deeper racial hatred. See Janeane Garafalo.

Wait – don’t see her.

My only conclusion – that this is a hate campaign perpetrated by the leftist media to create a violent race war.

The good news is, I think I can take Krugman. I’ve been doing Pilates.

Tonight we have the hilarious Jamie Lissow, the brilliant Andrew Klavan, the delightful S.E. Cupp and the inciteful Ron Geraci!
