Ah - It's the Debates, They're Fair Right?

ABC News Debate a Sham‏

If there ever was a question as to whether the main stream media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democrat party, ABC News has unequivocally answered: “of course we are!” Saturday’s Presidential debate was hosted by ABC hosts (and liberal puppets) Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos, who did not ask questions addressing the issues facing the American people. They asked questions clearly designed to paint the candidates as right wing extremists.

Stephanopoulos raised a question regarding the Constitutionality of a state government ban on contraceptives. The fact that no state is even considering such a ban makes the political agenda of ABC “so called”News very clear. The political bias of the hacks at ABC News is not only absurd, it leaves me to believe that ABC should now be required to file with the Federal Elections Commission as a Democrat Party organization.

ABC “so called” News highlights Stephanopoulos as “the best man to get to the bottom” of the political issues. If our measure is a race to the bottom, George is the man; otherwise it is time to find someone else. I believe in the freedom our Constitution grants to each individual in regards to political affiliation. I also believe that media organizations cannot be allowed to use their status as a news organization to promote the agenda of a political party without proper disclosure.

Our nation is in the worst crisis we have every faced. By the end of the year we will be over $16 trillion in debt and without government changing the way we count unemployment, America’s unemployment rate remains at record post depression levels. All this and ABC “so called” News can only find time to talk about meaningless issues that play to Obama’s base and distract from the real issues facing the greatest country in the history of the world.

Thoughtsjustoffcenter: Thus far, I've like the debates. However, we all can see the commentators slant their questions. Can't we? Mustaches anyone?

Wasn't George Stephanopoulos asked to step down/leave the 'Clinton Administration' after he was reportedly caught sniffing that "fine white powder" stuff at the 'White House'? Of course, that wasn't the reason given when he left, but he left very quickly after it was reported.

I was going to publish this yesterday, yet I got ahead of myself.

GOP Hasn't Been "Black Friendly" for Centuries

In an e-mail from received from "Vision To America," written by Warner Todd Huston
Presidential hopeful Herman Cain made an appearance on ABC’s The View this week and had to deflect staggering ignorance from host Joy Behar. Discussing Cain’s assertion that some blacks are “brainwashed” not to consider any conservative ideas, the very first sentence out of Behar’s mouth was “The Republican Party hasn’t been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.”

Sadly, the coffee klatch program is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV these days. Behar’s blather is ignorant in a million ways and indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country.

First, of course, this county hasn’t even been a country for “many centuries.” We are only about 235 years old as a nation! Most people don’t claim two as “many,” but only as “a couple.”

Second, the Republican Party has also not been around for “many centuries in this country.” The party is only about 155 years old.

Third, when the party itself was started it was derisively called the “Black Republicans” by Behar’s beloved Democrats because it was so friendly to America’s blacks. The party was founded with a pro-black agenda, its primary goal being the abolition all blacks from slavery and assuring them civil rights. In fact, for many decades after the Civil War and on into the 1900s most black Americans were Republicans, not Democrats. The very first blacks elected to Congress ran as Republicans. Blacks being Democrats is a relatively new development in our history.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the Republican Party the Civil Rights Act of 1964 could not have passed. It was GOP votes that pushed that bill into law, not Democrat support. More Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act than Republicans. The truth is that the 1964 Civil Rights Act saw strong Republican support. Of the total number of Republicans then serving in Congress, support never dipped below 70% on any of the final vote counts. The original House version got 80% GOP support, the Senate version got 82% and the final vote in the House was 82% of Republicans in support. On the other hand, Congressional Democrats never saw higher than 69% of its membership in support of civil rights for blacks.

One of the leading voices in favor of the bill’s passage was Illinois Senator Edward Dirksen, a Republican. In comparison, Senator Robert Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia, was a leading voice against civil rights; he filibustered the act for fourteen hours and yet, for years afterward, was celebrated as the Democrat’s best man.
If it were up to Democrats in 1964, the Civil Rights Act would never have passed. Hollywood entertainer Joy Behar reveals her ignorance and defaults to lying about the GOP’s history in a transparent effort to derail the campaign of a beloved black Republican candidate.

ToughtsjustoffCenter comments: Just when is the public going to show a "lick of sense," or intelligence, by turning off television/cable programs like this?
