Last week's DISGUSTING Congressional vote - to CONDEMN, deny funding to, and all but CRIMINALIZE the Black social and voter-activist group "A.C.O.R.N." at the urging of Right-Wing talking points -
- (here's the Right-wing "undercover video" of two ACORN women NOT COMMITTING ANY CRIME, but merely trying to help a self-described "pimp" obtain a mortgage, regardless of the "pimp" and his prostitute girlfriend's stupid story) -
- reveals that LYNCH-MOB POLITICS STILL DOMINATES "official" Washington D.C.
... Despite it being nearly 100 years since blatantly racist, SEGREGATIONIST "Democratic Progressive" President Woodrow Wilson (re-) INSTITUTED SEGREGATION in Washington and in the US government; despite it being nearly 45 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson BROKE the white-supremacist SOUTHERN SEGREGATIONIST FILIBUSTER in Congress (to enact the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Acts in 1964 and 1965, respetively); and despite there being a Black, "Democratic," nominally "progressive" president in the White House.
Fortunately for this rant, it is EASY to EXPOSE the Congressional Vote as the TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE of COWARDICE and LYNCH-MOB POLITICS that it is... for the very week that the NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, CNN, FOX 'news,' and other media outlets were WORKING FULL-TIME to CASTIGATE _all_ of ACORN as a minority-run FRAUDULENT, if not CRIMINAL SCUM enterprise, was the very week that new details emerged about an US (federal) Census worker's death, the probable victim of a LYNCH-MOB HANGING and domestic TERRORIST MURDER.
(Here, here, and here.)
WHERE is the Congressional Resolution CONDEMNING the HATE-MONGERING of those who incite FEAR of, and hate for, US Census workers - INCLUDING Republican Representative MICHELLE BACHMAN and Right-Wing hate-radio demagogue RUSH LIMBAUGH?
The US Census, btw, was ENSHRINED by the "Founding Fathers" - right there in paragraph 3, Section 2, Article 1 of the US Constitution!
THE MOMENT that MICHELLE BACHMAN, or ANY other Right-Wing would-be demagogue DEMEANS the census, they are trying to UNDERCUT the very essence of the US Constitution, the very essence of American democracy - the notion that ONE PERSON equals ONE VOTE.
(Right-Wing hate-mongers and demagogues prefers that other "original intent" of the US Constitution, (ironically, the very sentence prior to that sentence in Article 1, Section 2, that establishes the US census) the so-called "Three-Fifths compromise" that allowed SLAVE-OWNERS to OWN all the slaves they could possibly have, without a single such enslaved person having ANY human rights, much less a vote.)
THIS IS the Washington Post and NY Times STOCK-in-TRADE:
ECHO Fox "news" HATE-MONGERING and RACE-BAITING talking points, polished with that oh-so-sneering NY/DC "establishment" condescending spin, while PRETENDING to be "centrist," objective, "bipartisan," and above-the-fray; and while PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE HATE-mongering and RACE-BAITING Right-Wing talking points... even those coming out of corporate-media heavy-hitters like Rush Limbaugh and Fox 'news,' even those HATE and RACE-BAITING TALKING POINTS coming from REPUBLICAN Congressional Representatives and leaders.
As our previous posts at DemNationUSA have pointed out, the probable murder of a Census worker FOLLOWS at least FOUR PREVIOUS MURDERS by Right-Wing GUNMEN in America in the past 15 months, starting with,
#1. a deranged Right-Wing Tennessee gunman trying to shoot-up and ENTIRE "liberal" church in Knoxville, a gunman widely reported by several sources to have "been motivated by hatred" of the "liberal movement" (cross-posted here) and to have been a fan, reader, and viewer of HATE- and RACE-BAITING Fox "news" right-wing Demagogues, including BILL O'REILLY, SEAN HANNITY, and BERNARD GOLDBERG.
(note how Time/Warner owned CNN has "scrubbed," or CENSORED, this story from their archives.)
#2. Just TWO SHORT WEEKS later, August 13, 2008, an Arkansas Right-Wing gunman walked in to the Little Rock Democratic Party Campaign offices, and shot and killed Dem. Party statewide Chairman Bill Gwatney.
#3. On May 31st of 2009, yet another RIGHT-WING GUNMAN shot and killed Dr. George Tiller in his Kansas Church, followed two weeks later by
#4. yet another Right-Wing gunman walked into the Holocaust Memorial museum, in the Washington Post's home city of Washington DC, intending to shoot and kill as many museum goers as he could.
(Even Time/Warner-owned CNN has that story.)
Despite THIS CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER of RIGHT-WING GUNMEN prodded to paranoia and MURDER by oh-so "mainstream" Right-Wing media, WHAT do the NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, and COWERING DC "Democrats" chose to look at and condemn???
-answer: Several LOW-LEVEL mortgage-assistance activists at ACORN, accused of "CORRUPTION!" for falling for an amateur undercover sting portraying a (Starsky-and-Hutch Hollywood-esque) "pimp" and prostitute trying to obtain A LEGAL HOME MORTGAGE!
Right there in black and white, for the whole world and all eternity to witness... in the VERY WEEK that at least a FIFTH Right-Wing HATE INSPIRED MURDER came to light in Washington, the COWARDLY "Democrats" of the US Congress - including the many Jewish Senators and Congressmen who _should_know-better_ (having spent the past 6 decades reminding other Americans of the Nazi's brutal, brown-shirt intimidation and domestic-terrorism tactics in the Nazi's rise to power in Germany in the 1930s) - JOINED the Republicans and their RIGHT-WING HATE-MONGERING,
RACE-BAITING MEDIA ALLIES, in POURING SCORN and CONDEMNATION on A.C.O.R.N., while IGNORING the tendencies of FOX 'news' and other media outlets, to WHIP UP HATRED, PARANOIA, and LUST for GUN-VIOLENCE and MURDER, even against workers carrying out their federal census duties specifically authorized in the Consitution.
This awful, disgusting tendency of course FOLLOWS the 2000 Senate "Democrats" REFUSAL to SIGN ON TO the Black Congressional Caucus demand for a SIMPLE Congressional investigation in to what we know was MASSIVE VOTER DISENFRANCHSEMENT - the old "Jim Crow" tactics of the 20th Century, brought forward into the first election of the 21st century - by Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush's BROTHER, Jeb Bush, and his Republican administration (led by Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris) in the Florida presidential election vote-count in 2000.
The DC "Democrats" - and the WASHINGTON POST, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, and other "major media" outlets STOCK IN TRADE: - KEEP PLAYING THE SAME OLD PLAY: CRIMINALIZE Black and minority voters and organizations for barely illegal activities with RELENTLESSLY NEGATIVE COVERAGE, spouting Right-Wing and Republican inspired talking points CODEMNING Democratic and minority groups, while IGNORING and/or giving a HUGE FREE PASS to other, TERRORISM INCITING Right-Wing talking points, much less vast fraud and corruption throughout entire swaths of the American banks and finanical markets; vast fraud, corruption, "kickbacks," and even murder by war-contractors; much less does the "major media" focus on the _legal bribery_ of senators representing a tiny portion of America's population, having virtual DICTATORIAL, veto, sabotage control over the American public's desire to have health-care that can NOT BE CANCELLED AT WHIM by insurance companies.
Needless to say, playing along with this game is REPEAT, "stab minority voters and Democratic campaign activists in back" COWARDICE on the part of Washington DC's so-called "Democratic" leaders;
and - WHITEWASHING if not ENCOURAGING DOMESTIC TERRORISM - would be TREASON on the part of the Sulzberger-family owned New York Times, and the Meyer/Graham family owned Washington Post.
