Those "Tolerant" Liberals

"[Pittsburgh, PA Police Spokeswoman Diane] Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said."

"B" for Barack Obama. I found that on the Drudge Report.

Another link that deals with the same attack: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/breaking/s_594853.html

" "He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain," said police Chief Nate Harper." (emphasis added)

Yes, those tolerant liberals.

Now let's play pretend. In our new case, the tables are turned. In plainer words - let's assume the attacker was white and the victim black and the attacker carved a "M" into the victim's face.

You and I know that in .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds would come the screams of "RAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!!"

To his credit, Obama did comment on the attack: ""Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice." "

But you'll notice that he didn't condemn the attack. Here's how it should have been written, in my opinion "Our thoughts and prayers are with this young woman for her to make a speedy recovery. We strongly condemn any such attack made for any purpose and pray that the person(s) who perpetrated this heinous, vicious, crime are swiftly apprehended and punished to the furthest extent of the law."

Now let's take my scenario (attacker white, victim black, and "M" carved into victim's face.) You know as well as I do that the following would happen in swift order:

1) The MSM (Mainstream Media) would be on-air pontificating about racism in the United States. They would say that that is why Barack Obama should be elected, to "...help the American people deal with their inbred racist views."

2) Rev. Jackson would immediately be on the airwaves denouncing the attack (he should be anyway, in my opinion.) He would liken the case to the Tawana Brawley case.*

3) Rev. Al Sharpton would join Rev. Jackson in denouncing the attack (again, he should denounce this one as well in my opinion.) He also would liken the case to the aforementioned incident(*) and proclaim that only Barack Obama could help the American people deal with "...their inbred racist views."

However, in this case, our victim was white and her attacker black. He carved her face with the letter "B". The MSM won't dare touch this one.

And now for the attacker: You're a damned coward. If you were so proud of what you'd done, why didn't you stay there and wait for the cops to show up? If you were so proud of Barack Obama, why didn't you wait till the cops arrived and say to them "Yup. I done teached her her lesson."

Don't have the cojones for a real fight, do you?

Can we say "double-standard in the media?" SUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE you can!
