A Glaring Difference

I have heard enough of CNN and MSNBC trying to paint McCain/Palin supporters as dangerous and racist. As has been documented by my colleague Mr. Kowal, Obama supporters are the ones running around screaming, hurling insults and objects, and now violently attacking McCain supporters. This accusation is about the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. A female McCain volunteer was robbed at knife point on Wednesday and as if that wasn’t enough this thug decided to take things a step further. Being an Obama supporter and noticing a McCain bumper sticker on her car he decided to teach her a lesson. He took out his knife and carved a "B" for Barack on her face. There is one problem, she made it up. Now that is a nut job for you.
My focus of this article does not center on her it centers on MSNBC and Barack Obama. Yesterday when this story seemed to be true there was no mention of it by MSNBC. Now that it appears false MSNBC has a link to it on their front page. Quite convenient. Obama supporter carves a "B" into woman’s face for being a McCain supporter; thats not news. Woman makes up claim about being attacked by Obama supporter; that’s news. Anything to make Republicans look like nutjobs. This is why all month MSNBC has been portraying all McCain/Palin supporters as racist KKK members for some random remarks (that were probably plants) yet ignores the video of liberals hurling insults and objects at McCain supporters.
Now onto Obama. When this story looked truthful John McCain and Sarah Palin spoke to the "victim" personally along with her family offering their condolences. Barack Obama as usual just trotted out a spokesman for a one-line "that sucks" statement. When this attack was believed as true you’d think Obama would have made a statement himself condsidering he, his supporters, and MSNBC were constantly calling on McCain to take responsibility for a couple nutjob comments. Despite this story turning out to be false it is apparent what a hypocrite Barack Obama is by judging his behavior when this account looked truthful.
This story has been out all day and as of 10:00pm central time both CNN and MSNBC have failed to report on the story. I have checked their websites and can’t find one mention of it because that would damage the propaganda they have been putting out portraying McCain/Palin supporters as no better than KKK members.
So far I haven’t heard Obama denounce the crime, as usual he trotted out one of his spokesman to comment on the occurrence. MSNBC, CNN, and the Obama campaign go on TV calling for McCain to control his supporters and then they fall glaringly silent when the issue is turned around. What does this say about Obama? One he is a hypocrite, he should have immediately made a statement himself. Secondly what does this portray about his campaign and the dangerous effect he has on people? As I displayed a few days back, the Obama movement has moved to typically communist tactics to brainwash and indoctrinate people, especially children. When a man has this type of effect on people and fails to instantly denounce it, it is time we wake from our blinded stupor and re-examine what he stands for and the danger he poses. I am not saying Barack condones this behavior but it is at the very least one more red flag to add to the list.
