Further expositions of the double standard
The double standard of who is responsible for language, that is.
For instance, when an ACORN-affiliated group gathers up a bunch of disaffected citizens to take them on a tour of wealthy financiers houses, there’s no concern from the media (like Don Wright) that someone might do something bad. In fact, I think Don Wright might be responsible if someone from AIG gets hurt by one of these people.
How about when Obama says to a meeting of the bank executives “This administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.” Hell, that almost sounds like a threat.
So, Don, will you or any of your compadres in Obama’s sycophant corps call him out on his “irresponsible” language if some bank executive ends up with a pitchfork in his belly? Didn’t think so.
Of course, cops get shot all the time. Sometimes they get shot by people who can’t be painted with the “dread conservative brush”. Like Lovelle Mixon. Suspected in the sexual assault of a 12 year old girl, he was pulled over by Oakland police. He proceeded to kill both of them, and kill two more before being killed. Media reaction? Sympathy. Indymedia – disgusting shows of “the cops had it coming” and worse. Marches in support of a murderer, rapist, and thief. But we’re not allowed to say that media glorifying such behavior influences children.
Nope. Only Rush Limbaugh can do that.
