My overall reason for starting this thread, was to point out how that anti-Beck, anti-Tea Party, anti-hate protest, ended up being everything that the left has falsely accused the Tea Party protests of being.
It was an "AstroTurf" protest gathering, organized by Obama and SEIU, where people were bussed in and given signs to hold up that they didn't even understand... It was an attempt to malign and discredit people who attended an opposing political gathering, not to, as they claim, "stop the hate" which they obviously had never actually witnessed before, except on the signs that they themselves were carrying. They claimed they were protesting against racism and bigotry, yet it was one of their people who was caught on tape using a homosexual slur against Mr. Breitbart.
It's obvious from that video that those protesters are were the phonies, the partisans, the haters, the AstroTurfers, the ones who are insincere and have the sinister motives.... not the Tea Party people as they want the public to believe.
It's called delicious irony my friend.
Why is MM brain dead?
Here... This should help get this thread back on the tracks:

Because the site is run by a bunch of biased liberal partisan hacks that dedicate every waking minute to attacking 1 news agency while ignoring virtually ALL other mainstreat media outlets maybe? Maybe the should change their name to "mediaDOESNTmatterbutFoxnewssureashelldoesandthatswhyCNN,MSNBC,comedycentralandthiswebsitealongcountlessotherinternetbloggersaresoobsessedwiththem.com"
See, you have no idea what your talking about. Media Matters is an organization of 70 professionals based in DC who monitor all major media including CNN, MSNBC, Fox and major daily's. Are they liberal/progresssive? You bet your sweet ass they are.
Gee, Hope you're ok. Drink you coffee black minus all the crap (cream and sweetner) and you will be fine.Pete...every day...man...every day you say things that are so inane that it just makes me shoot coffee through my nose it is that laugh out loud funny.
Speaking of being inane, you seem to be the poster boy. You need to go to MRC and Newsbusters for that stuff.Quick...go to their web page. and you tell me...how many of thier articles EVER focus on liberals and progressive commentators and their routine and moronic bull**** that they spew. You wont be able to if your 0 key is broken on your keybboard. Well...I guess you COULD always spell it out...
This is not really a tough concept even for you. When the propaganda arm of the GOP is spewing a lot of misinformation, it gets the most mention. Notice I used the word 'monitor' not 'reporting' in my previous post, so you are being dishonest.As of right now 23 of the 28 stories were about Fox News. the remaining were blog stories ridiculing GOP. For you to suggest that they are viewing and reporting on others honestly...Pete...Pete...just...no...
sad...very very sad...

Rush was hired to be on ESPN not to give brilliant football insight but to add to the program...to give commentary. He didnt CLAIM he was a crappy quarterback. He STATED he was a good investment. And if you look at McNabbs performance in those big games he had a tendency to demonstrate why he was a GOOD quaerterback...even a VERY good quarterback...just not a GREAT quarterback. All Limbaugh stated was that there were external forces invested in him succeeding because of his race. True at the time. Truth recognized by several black players including several of his teammates. Less true today because today there are several very good black quarterbacks in the game. Agree or disagree-fine...but HARDLY a 'racist' comment. If that comment was made by a Steven A Smith would it have even got an honorable mention? No. But it was blown out of proportion because Rush Limbaugh, a political commentator hired to provde a different perspective made it.
He says what the rubes want to hear, and that's all that matters.After all of the bull**** that con artist Breitbart has tried to pull, are some here that seriously messed up that they take anything that man does/says at face value? Please people... get a grip.
I see two problems with Rush's observation. First, it simply entrenches racist thought, and brings it into an arena that should strive to be non-political. There is no reason in this day and age to make authoritative assertions about something as subjective as the credit given to an athlete, specifically in the context of his or her race. Seriously, Rush argued that McNabb had been given too much credit for his abilities because he is black, and being black has nothing to do with his athletic ability. Yet this is the very characteristic that Limbaugh felt must be the source of explanation. What Rush said was just silly. According to this line of thinking, anytime a black person gets more respect than deserved - whether it's getting into law school or being a star quarterback - it's because of skin color.
The second problem is that it perpetuates an over scrutiny of black people specifically. Now every time a black quarterback does well and receives praise for his performance, that very praise and recognition will be questioned by the folks who buy into such racist nonsense. Rather than engage in such behavior, Rush should have realized that his audience in this medium would differ dramatically from his radio show, and include folks from all races with differing political views who tuned in to listen to honest commentary. The bottom line is that he never should have said such a thing, and was punished accordingly.
Rush should have judged McNabb strictly on talent or lack thereof, and left out the commentary on race.
See...I dont necessarily disagree with your point of view with regard to time and place of the comments. I dont think his comments were racist. Maybe unnecessary on ESPN and in that venue.

We can agree to disagree about the racist nature of the comment. On another note, our political leans may differ, and our opinions may vary, but you seem pretty open to fair discussion over our differences.
See you in another debate, Vancemack.
When you're right, you're right.
Breitbart staged that whole thing. They weren't really liberal protesters, they were actors hired to make liberal protesters look like phony, unintelligent, uninformed hate mongers, sent by Obama and the unions to attack that conservative gathering and people like Glenn Beck...
That must be it.
No, not what I was thinking.
I thought this would be easy considering the hack job he's done to Sherrod and ACORN, but I'd say it's fair that creative editing is something that is not beyond Breitbart.
So continue worshipping the man who continues to make his followers look like damn fools.
"hack job" - Posting a video
"creative editing" - An allegation thrown out when a video shows things you'd rather it didn't.
"worshiping" - The posting of someones video.
p.s. there are free spell checkers available on the internet.
Let's not forget he worships Glenn Beck as well.Yes, worship. Crap, look at what you wrote in your OP, Grim. Good Lord... you can be the president of his fan club.
The guy is a liar and cheat, and it's clear that his only motive is to distort, contort and mislead the gullible into believing his agenda.
PS. What did I misspell?
