Dissent Isn't Racism

On Politico.com, Ben Smith has posted a story on the "conversation on race".  But it's very difficult to have that conversation when anyone who opposes your agenda is labeled as a racist.  Here is my comment, number 412.

THere is a "conversation on race" going on, but it consists of the leftist media, and their NGO supporters labelling anyone who opposes Obama as a racist. After that, it's rather difficult to actually have any sort of conversation at all. Once you scream that, you just sort of end any ability to discuss things rationally. NAACP membership, in the Sherrod video, shows that they fully support NOT giving any assistance to someone because they are white...thus ends the conversation.


During the 2008 campaign, the media began to paint anyone who opposed Obama as a racist. They did it, first to Bill Clinton, then to supporters of Hillary C., then to anyone who opposed the One. Last year, during the summer recess, when the Tea Party began to rise, everyone associated with it was labeled a racist. This has continued into this year...when the NAACP passed a resolution labeling the Tea Party Movement as racists. Thus ends the conversation...it's merely a tactic that attempts to marginalize ANYONE who opposes the agenda of Barack Obama and the Democratic Leadership in Congress.

One party media (as opposed to government supported media) that continually pushes a far left socialist agenda, has attempted to destroy anyone who opposes their narrative. It's anti-democratic and will only end up eliminating their "moral authority" to control the narrative. THis is why most (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC & CNN) new organizations are losing their audience in droves. For much the same reason, print media has been losing subsribers. People won't watch, or buy, media sources that constantly assault their intelligence and that means roughly half of their readership/viewers...

In the present atmosphere in the national, one party media, it's just not possible to have that conversation.  Especially so, when anyone who has legitimate objections to the liberal agenda being rammed through now, is smeared as a racist.  End conversation...
