Where Are the White Women At?
Caught this on Twitter from FreedomWorks’ Kemberlee Kaye:
Hi @nbcpolitics, why did you selectively edit out the speeches of Mia Love, Artur Davis, Ted Cruz and Luce Fortuno? Hmm?
Hmm, indeed. And that’s not just the part-time coverage from NBC, but also the supposedly full-time coverage from the vile progs at MSNBC.
We have a black, female mayor and GOP candidate for Congress. A black former Democrat congressman who changed to a Republican — who had also served as one of Obama’s co-national chairmen in 2008. We have the Hispanic GOP candidate for the US Senate from Texas, who earned his nomination from out of nowhere on a wave of Tea Party, grassroots, and new media support. And we have the First Lady of Puerto Rico, whose husband is also a member of the Republican National Committee.
So who did NBC bother to show us last night?
I dunno. I wasn’t watching. I tuned in to some other network. But NBC has been getting a lot of that the last few years.
ASIDE: After watching not-NBC last night, I tweeted, “I don’t toss around the word Reaganesque lightly, if at all. But @MiaBLove? Reaganesque.” Her performance last night — and the way the MSM ignored her — might go some small way toward explaining this:
Tuesday night after rising GOP star Mia Love brought down the house with her inspiring convention speech, the stomach-turning Left labeled the black conservative a “token” and an “Aunt Tom.”
Meanwhile, revoltingly racist, woman-hating Wikipedia vandals were hard at work updating her entry with disgusting slurs like “House Nigger” and “dirty, worthless whore.” The page called her a “total sell-out to the Right Wing Hate machine and the greedy bigots who control the GOP.”
The vile progs have never acted so desperately in my lifetime. If you missed her speech, here’s why.
“When tough times came, [my parents] didn’t look to Washington. They looked within.”
She’s one amazing lady.
I like her a lot. After that speech. I’ll be willing to lose Paul Ryan in the House if we could get a good 20+ yrs of Rep. Love.
Mia Love is going places. Remarkable woman. No wonder the left despises her so.
She has that “it” that might take her a lot higher and farther than just Congress.
I thought the same thing. But lets not get ahead of ourselves.
I shouldn’t be, but I am still amazed at the epithets lefties hurl at black conservatives. At the misogyny they unleash toward women who deviate even fractionally from their line. This is the same left that reflexively calls us racists and accuses us of a war on women.
I’m amazed at the hate they unleash once they’ve told themselves it’s OK, it doesn’t count in this case – all the while telling themselves that it’s the other side that’s full of hate, and if their own side has a flaw, it’s that they’re too damn good-hearted to get down in the mud and fight like they mean it.
I didn’t watch it on the networks at all. I tuned into C-SPAN and enjoyed hearing the speeches without the overtalk of media bobbleheads.
It’s amazing just how partisan the networks have become. During the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and even early 2000s, there was at least a fig leaf of neutrality, but with the various 911 tape editings and now the selective coverage, they are truly left-wing propaganda organs. Why did they decide to show their true colors?
“Mask on,” they failed twice to stop W. “Mask off” got them Obama, the House, and 60 votes in the Senate.
They think they can do it again.
They’re wrong.
For the MSM, 2008 was a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Projecting the rate of decline of their audience into the future, it was obvious that they would not ever again have enough influence to be the sole kingmaker–that they would never again be worth 15% to their chosen nominee. They had to know this. It was their last hand, so they went all-in and won everything they could have dreamed of. Too bad for them that governing is more difficult than campaigning.
This year they’re doing the same thing, but have less influence on the process and have to work with a President who is damaged goods.
That the media did not run this speaks louder than anything imaginable. And it really pisses me off that it has come to such a state.
This woman is both amazing in her own right and just like us all at the same time. I got teary at the end. Goddammit, it is our time and we are who she says we are!
You’re damn right, Stephen–she does have “it”. And I really like how she makes me confident we do too.
That’s so refreshing. God bless her.
C’mon Mitt, run with it! Hit the road, Obama!
Gave up on the networks long ago. They are now superfluous.
Just stream it
