How JournOlism Works: Politico’s Ben Smith Drops Race Card on Donald Trump, NBC Runs With It - Big Journalism
And so it finally happened. Obviously troubled by the fact that Donald Trump’s questions surrounding Barack Obama’s birth certificate are starting to gain some real traction, Ben Smith at the left-wing Politico finally panicked and fired off the Race Card. Hilariously, Smith did so using my favorite brand of agendized journOlism, what I call the “Some Say” tactic. How it works is very simple. In order for Smith to hide behind his dishonest and arrogant veil of objectivity, he simply finds others saying what he wants to say and abuses his position to amplify the charges directly into the narrative. Today, his chosen ”Some Sayers” are those in the Black community accusing Trump of racism. . . ." More: More
The title of this post -- "They'll do it every time" -- is that of a series of cartoons by cartoonist Jimmy Hatlo, who, I'm sure would be laughing his ass off -- between bouts of crying -- at the intricate insanity this country has come to. I'd love to see what he'd make of the Left's current shenanigans. He'd probably put them in his strip "Hatlo's Inferno," where they most certainly belong. And not as the demons tormenting the sinners.
"I’ve never doubted Obama was born in the United States, mainly because there was no way the Ambition Machines we call the Clintons would’ve ever let something like that pass."
Maybe -- but if so, you have to ask what's on that birth certificate that makes Obama so afraid of the public learning about it? Did he have two heads at birth, and had to have one cut off? Is he born of Martians, albeit in this country? Is he the product of a union of two people of the same gender? What? What would possibly be behind his hiding his birth certificate? Something is sure as hell wrong here. What is it? Maybe he has anxiety attacks and this is part of it -- and do you really want somebody with a mental disability in that high office, with his finger on the nuclear trigger? No, I think it's time to keep the issue front and center, not as a "birther" issue, but rather as one questioning Obama's powers of judgment and his competence in office.
