Race-obsessed media cries wolf, Trump gains in polls

From the Washington Examiner (full article here)

The media is helping President Trump’s reelection effort by its constant, obsessive, nearly unhinged determination to tell their audience for the 2,965th time that Trump’s tweets about four radical congresswomen were “racist.”

At least three respected polls, including one just out today, have shown the backlash those tweets — in Trump’s favor. I immediately predicted this would happen if the media persisted in its passionate, unprofessional behavior of affixing the “racist” label to the tweets as if the label were straight news rather than an opinion.

As I explained last week, words matter, and wolf cries eventually cause people to get angry at the crier. The word “racist” in particular has been so overused as a pejorative that plenty of nonracist people at least tune it out and sometimes revolt against it.

In this case, if the observer sees Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar primarily as “women of color,” then the nasty Trump tweet appears aimed at their “color,” which in these “woke” days often is misused as a stand-in for “race.” Yet if the observer doesn’t look at everything first and foremost through a racial or colorized lens, what the women have in common isn’t their supposed pigmentation similarities but their radicalism.

Can’t We Leverage A Little Good Will?

Over at Breitbart there is an article that talks to Talib and Omar’s impending visit to Israel. Looks like they will let the moon-bats into the country, now if we can just leverage our goodwill and have them keep them? I’m guessing that the same propagandist crap we saw at our southern border (mistreatment, cages, and the drinking of toilet water) will shortly follow. The article reads, in part:

“Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel,” Dermer told the Haaretz daily on Friday.

Earlier in the week, the same paper reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be tasked with deciding whether they would be let into the country, due to the sensitivity of the visit and its possible ramifications for Israeli-U.S. relations.

Officials later said that the prime minister would consult with the National Security Council.

Speaking to the Jewish Insider on Wednesday, Omar said that she and Tlaib were planning to visit Israel and the West Bank in “a few weeks.”

“Everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation,” Omar told the paper.

Her comments were made after pushing a pro-BDS resolution in Congress, co-sponsored by Tlaib (D-Michigan) and Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), that seeks to “oppose unconstitutional legislative efforts” against boycotts. While the text does not mention the BDS movement by name, Omar admitted that the bill’s intention was to allow “an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

The text of the resolution cites examples of boycott movements against Nazi Germany, the USSR and apartheid South Africa, and also suggests that the BDS movement is comparable to the Boston Tea Party. “Boycotts have been effectively used in the United States by advocates for equal rights since the Boston Tea Party,”

Dice

There are probably not a lot of folk who remember Andrew Dice Clay. His comedy routine was beyond insulting. Here is what he would probably say if he were still on stage today.

That’s Bold, Your Black Face Unneeded !

Well folks it looks as if the race baiters have grown so frustrated at conservatives because they refuse to give a damn about the lefts constant whining over the imagined wrongs of the white man in general, and the Trumpster in particular, that they have turned their focus on there own. They know within the virtue signalling left their screeches have an audience. I’m not sure that that audience will long have patience for the obvious damage they are doing to their own patrons. Nancy may have to make this problem go away quickly or risk a full collapse of the party . I’ve snatched the narrative below from Breitbart who lifted some of the reporting from the Washington Post. (We who cut and paste also serve ! )

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), a member of the “Squad” that Democrats claim was the target of a racist attack by Trump on Sunday, told left-wing bloggers Sunday afternoon: “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”

Pressley is one of the four left-wing Democrats disparaged out last week by Nancy Pelosi as the “Squad.” The most prominent member, Ocasio-Cortez, called Pelosi’s attack racist. That, in turn, drew criticism from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).  In response, Pressley appeared to blast the members of the CBC according to the Washington Post, saying:

An all-out racially charged fight within the House Democratic Caucus escalated Saturday when an African American freshman lawmaker said the party doesn’t need “any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.” Pressley made those comments during a speech at the liberal Netroots Nation conference where she, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib appeared after a week-long clash with Nancy Pelosi and her allies.

“This is the time to shake that table. . . . We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice,” Pressley said, seemingly taking a stab at the Congressional Black Caucus.  “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”
