Anti-Big-Obama Tea Parties Sweep America
In a nutshell:
Anyone who wants the real story can get it thanks to the intertubes. Anyone who doesn't can watch CNN or gobble my junk.I know for a fact that when 50 or so professional leftist protesters congregate to protest, say, the Asian Dawn ("I read about them in Time Magazine"), the MSM covers the story, often prominently. CNN's top headlines never fail to include some small potatoes lefty protest. And yet when millions of amateur protesters get together, the MSM deems it unworthy of mention.
While the MSM makes crude, disrespectful jokes about the the protesters being enthusiasts for the deviant sexual act of lowering one's testicles into another's mouth. That's blog type snark -- and fine for blogs. But for CNN?
Let me ask MSNBC and CNN -- if a FoxNews reporter, covering a pro-choice rally, should look at a group of woman and remark, "Well, I guess we know the right place to be if you want to get laid," how would they react?
Would it be termed some harmless joke? Or would it be taken as crude, demeaning, and absurdly unprofessional?
That's okay now that CNN says so, right?
If that's what idiots want for a metaphor, I'm sure we adults can dish it up. Care for a sample?
