MSNBC"S Racial McCarthyism
Any student of history knows that every propaganda machine needs effective smear merchants. No one does it better than MSNBC. Its foot soldiers in their race war against the right spew relentless race baiting insults, baseless accusations and character assassinations of their political opponents daily without repudiation. Leading the way is Hardball host Chris Matthews and his underboss Toure', host of The Cycle. Their common tactic is to take otherwise mundane terms such as Urban, Chicago and re-distribution and re-brand them as "Dog whistle" code words heard only by racist right wingers. These irresponsible assaults have become a staple of the network and fit perfectly into the race obsessed mindset of the left. MSNBC holds the dubious distinction of having some of the least impressive host on cable television. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz and the aforementioned Toure' represent a "B" list of intellectual thinkers who's only currency is their over the top language and bomb throwing.
Admittedly, these methods have proven effective in the demonetisation of the right. The constant chants of racist, sexist, bigot and homophobic from the left have been successful in defining every position held by the right as one of the above-essentially shutting down debate. Even more disturbing are the weak conservatives the network exploits such as former RNC head Michael Steele and Joe Scarborough, the former Florida congressman who have become co-conspirators in their own murders.This blogger doesn't plan to take these bombs without returning fire. For the next several years, the bomb throwers should prepare for an intellectual counter assault-a fight in which they will be clearly out gunned.
