Media Matters, a creation of Hillary Clinton, according to one of her own off-hand remarks while giving some kind of political speech, has an active campaign to attack Lou Dobbs and others of CNN. This is proper and mandatory for a narrow political organization that specializes in half truths.
This political organization is headed by David Brock, President & CEO of Media Matters for America. We must recall that Brock was the best-selling author of The Real Anita Hill who did a first-rate investigation of her phony attacks on Justice Thomas and her attempts to prevent his appointment to the United States Supreme Court. He later said he was sorry. What he meant was that he was sorry that he attacked a far-left heroine of such a lofty status as Joan DArc or Eleanor Roosevelt. Shame on him.
Media Matters for America is a nit-pickers stew pot boiler that nibbles around details and constantly recycles rubber-stamped conclusions that the right wing is always wrong. They have proof or so they state, for discounting any and all views that are not sanctioned by the far left.
Lou Dobbs has been showcasing reports on the messy immigration issue and has offended those in the far left who see their political future as absolutely dependent on the current and future votes from illegal aliens. A simple analysis of who votes for the far left gives a dismal %41 on average and they have to pick 9 or 10 points up from the independents, the non party political party that is growing every day. The rabid left must get votes somewhere and success in capitalism tends to divert votes against those who are tax mongers, dictators or liberal Senators.
A few tidbits:
In a discussion of a Wall Street Journal editorial on immigration during his December 9, 2005, show, Dobbs announced, "I support the Minuteman Project and the fine Americans who make it up in all they've accomplished, fully, relentlessly, and proudly." As you may know, the Minuteman Project has been touted by conservative outlets, despite controversy over its anti-immigrant rhetoric and vigilante-style tactics.
This is a flat lie. The Minuteman Project does not employ vigilante-style tactics and Brock can find no such incidents. No Hispanic was shot or lynched in the years that his group has been along the border. That group only watches and then contacts the proper authorities when they spot illegal aliens, many of whom are potential terrorists, sneaking across the borders. They are not like the Stasi, KGB, KKK, SDS, Weathermen or Gestapo as Brock would like some to believe. This is a flat lie.
More:
During a CBS News interview with correspondent Lesley Stahl, which aired on the May 6 edition of CBS' 60 Minutes, CNN host and CBS Early Show special contributor Lou Dobbs defended CNN correspondent Christine Romans' citation -- initially made on the April 14, 2005, edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight -- of the false claims that "there were about 900 cases of leprosy [in the United States] for 40 years," and that "[t]here have been 7,000 in the past three years."
Apparently, there is some urgent need to correct the precise number of lepers who transverse our borders and correct CNN for their gross distortions of disease. Note there is no mention of many who enter the US illegally with various other diseases and pose health risks. This is an example of minutia mongering.
Brock then goes on:
The Minuteman Project has been touted by conservative outlets such as Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, which has featured Minuteman organizers and supporters, often without providing an opposing viewpoint.
Okay, let us see what you have:
We can ask David Brock: Where is your forum where I can come on and put up my opposing viewpoint to some of your conclusions?? Do you want to be fair?? Or do you just want to turn the old rusty crank on any and all matters that can be used to attack the opponents of immigration. Is your organization just a propaganda outlet? Do you distort news? Are you biased?
Where is your essay on the Rule of Law, popular with the Clintons who founded and support your organization, that applies to illegal aliens who commit misdemeanors and felonies by:
[1] Entering the US illegally and frequently reenter.
[2] Steal Social Security numbers.
[3] Fail to submit state income tax returns
[4] Fail to submit federal income tax returns.
[5] Fail to buy auto insurance.
[6] Smuggling drugs into the US.
Do you sanction crimes if it leads to votes for liberal Democrats?
Given the grotesque distortions of the rabid left, we might reference a few Saul Alinskys Rules and hold Brock and Media Matters to their own rules and processes that they force upon others. Saul was Hillarys favorite professor.
Suggestions:
Why not open a discussion about illegal aliens committing disgusting crimes and then wasting our tax monies while in prison? Why not put this option on your website?
Quoting Saul Alinsky:
Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.
Rule 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. Its hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
What are your rules David and can you stand some ridicule??
Can Media Matters tell us, using numbers as accurate as they required for the exact numbers of lepers in the US and tell us how many illegal aliens that are Mexican criminals are in jail in the US?? What fraction of crime in the US today is committed by illegal aliens? Can we debate that?
Can we get Media Matters to acknowledge that drug smuggling is a crime and account, in numerical terms, for how much this costs society in terms of medical expenses, social counseling and drug rehabilitation from Mexican and South American drug profits?? Can we debate that?
Is it illegal to grow marijuana in California? Can we debate that?
How many illegal aliens voted in Orange County for Rep. Sanchez? Can we debate that?
Media Matters is hypocritically acting to put out negative information against any right wing organizations or policies and function as a ragzine. They are not objective They cannot accept opposite views or criticism.
Take some ridicule!
