Tell me again that the press doesn’t have a liberal bias. Tell me that they’re only interested in getting to the bottom of an issue. Whatever the outcome, they only want the truth presented to their listening/reading public.
Now read this question, posed by MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer to Newsweek Paris bureau chief Christopher Dickey as Brewer and Dickey discuss whether Obama is pulling the South together and “freeing them from their histories, or pushing them apart.”
There are probably a lot of families, too, who are wary of that stereotype, that racist stereotype that gets slapped on the South so frequently, but in your travels, you found merchants who are selling what clearly are hurtful symbols of the South’s racist past. And so how does Barack Obama really stand a chance in places where so many people do cling to their Southern, sometimes racist traditions?
For those who missed the irony in that question. Brewer makes it clear that it’s wrong for Southerners to hold prejudicial views about African-Americans. However, she has no difficulties with portraying the actions of a few merchants as representative of the populations of the Southern States. In her world, Southerners are a bunch of inbred, hilly billy, racists. No logical or moral disconnects there.
Clearly in Brewer’s mind the only way the South can move past their history is to vote for Obama. It doesn’t matter if they don’t agree with his socialism, his tax-and-spend policies, his flip-flopping, his elitism, his questionable judgment and associations with anti-American religious leaders and domestic terrorists, as well as his obvious disdain for small town voters. None of that is pertinent. If they don’t vote Obama, they’re racist and Brewer and her palls in the pro-Obama MSM are going to do everything in their power to get Obama elected.
