HATE Inc.

The hypocrisy of the American press has hit a new strata.

In the wake of the Arizona shooting the traditional print and television press mined the shooter's past, his associations, writings, affiliations, and every other aspect of his life from birth to arrest looking for any nugget, any kernel of a link between he and conservatives in general, talk radio and the Tea Party in specific. In fact some were so eager to provide proof that the Tea Party was a violent group of racists they attributed the assassins motives to specific commentators within the first hours of the tragedy.

Add to this the vast searches, hours of video, and in depth analysis of every second of of every Tea Party with 2 or more attendees, looking for any sign of racism, violence, or otherwise anti social behavior.

Bottom line, if the AZ killer would have sipped Earl Grey the morning of, it would of been evidence enough to indict every candidate bearing a Tea Party endorsement.

Yet, YET the following video, a Code Pink sponsored protest outside of a Kotch brothers (well known wealthy GOP contributors) fund raiser in Palm Springs, CA provides incontrovertible evidence of hate, violence, and the most detestable notions on behavior since Charles Manson, and you wont se ONE SECOND of it on GMA, ABC, in the NY Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, etc: WARNING: graphic and violent language

Once you view it, I want you to imagine what would occur if this video were taken from a Tea Party rally, and there existed film of a participant saying "we should cut off his toes and fingers, and feed them to him", as one person suggested should be done with Justice Clarence Thomas.

The main stream press hasn't a shred of legitimacy left ... not a shred.
