is the MSM pissing anybody else off with the "all black all the time"
I can't ever remember seeing so many black commentators, black delegate 'candid' reaction shots, black eveything, everywhere.

4. Y'know, I bet Black folks used to feel the same way -- in reverse
Use the experience to broaden your mind.

7. you assume too much
24% of convention goers is about the right ratio for registered dems so that's good, I just question the MSM's focus

they always have an agenda.

20. I just read what you wrote.
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 02:37 PM by bean fidhleir
I made no assumptions other than that you were writing what you meant to write, and that it should be taken at face value.

5. Whatever their intent, it will contrast remarkably with all the
pasty white faces at the Republican convention next week. Considering that we are racially a really diverse nation these days, it will backfire on them. They will probably go scrambling to find the few black faces at that convention to put them on camera so they don't look so homogenous

bad Bill Clinton was for lying and obstructing justice when they were trying to impeach him..... :puke: :puke: :puke:

6. You mean the "Republican Black Talking Guests"
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 01:48 PM by goclark
The ones that talk the talking points?

Roland Martin is one of the few that speaks up and don't see him much.

Wonder why.:sarcasm:

15. I saw her last night and they must have
searched all day to find her until one of ROVEr's thugs introduced her to them.

Bingo! We got a real winner here~


I am African American and if I could have had a little talk with that Sister for about 5 minutes, I would have given her a piece of my goclark mind!

What a PLANT she was ~ :mad:

They are out to do everything to make McCan't look like a winner.

I am furious.

24. Same here
I heard a popular radio commentator in Jamaica saying that her husband had to pull her from the TV because she was trying to jump in to drag that lunatic from the cameras. She was visibly on meds. M$M knows exactly what it was trying to do last night.

32. What I've also heard....
in addition to what you've said, I've also heard that "if we put in a black president, we'll never be able to have a white president again because all the blacks will riot and call racism if we don't elect *another* black president".

Anyone who thinks racism is a thing of the past is sadly mistaken (and naive)!

18. sad very sad, ignorance is bliss.
this election is no ordinary election, we cannot sit back on this one, or live with the consequences with the choice you have made. God, this is so disturbing. There are those who want to throw everything away. Makes me want to do this :puke:

21. And all we are doing about the Media is turning them off and
believing that that will make them change.

They are NOT changing ~ the Media is bolder now than they were in 2004.
They have built up to have all their thugs in place and have given them Marching Order ----

Mica: You try to raise your baby finger in protest but don't raise it very high and let JOEY batter you with talk and put downs of all the Democrats. We may give you your own shoe AFTER McCain gets in office.

Joey: You just keep up the "bad cop" routine, we won't fire you at all. We'll hire Rachael and make the stupid Democrats think that Rachael and Keith are in charge of something. They are NOT in charge of anything.

Joey, whatever they say doesn't matter because PAT B. will talk all over whatever they are trying to say and bat down and confuse all the stupid listeners.

We can turn them off or we can take them on -- I say take them on.

36. My sentiments precisely.
I'm just hoping there will be a large and highly visible "Moderate Muslims for McCain" contingent in Minneapolis, so the camerapeople can focus on them.

28. Oh, it's true. Here's a linky:
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2007/9/16/fox-gets-denver-will-dems-bail.html

It's the proverbial boxed-into-a-corner situation. Fox News Channel, the cable network boycotted by Democrats running for president, has been handed the duty of televising the Democratic National Convention in Denver next summer.

31. this has been covered a dozen times. They "control" very little
The networks drew lots to see who would provide pool cameras for the conventions. Fox "won" the DNC; NBC "won" the RNC. The pool cameras are mostly stationary cameras aimed at the podium and some cameras panning the audience. Each network can and does have its own "roving" cameras on the floor. More importantly, each network has its own directors/producers and can choose when to take the pool feed and which camera shot they want.

Its amusing how many people have been praising the C-SPAN coverage when in fact their floor coverage is 100 percent fed by the pool cameras.

23. White folks commonly do that to try to convince people that something racist isn't happening...
"See? Even a black guy agrees!"

Just the smallest shred of plausibility.

27. Exactly and they know the images that they use


are not truly representing us.

They would never get someone from the back woods with a corn pipe and gun to put up there.

It is racist to the core.
