LET’S HOPE MATTHEWS NEVER INTERVIEWS DAVE CHAPPELLE
Hitchens silenced:
Asked by Chris Matthews on his Hardball TV show why many liberals think that Republicans are dumb, I try to explain that it goes back to John Stuart Mill describing the Tories as ‘the stupid party’. I add that the Tories used ironically to borrow this description of themselves, as indeed they did the word ‘Tory’, which was originally an insult. Warming to my theme, I list the other slanders that have been reversed by their original targets - from ‘Impressionist’ to ‘suffragette’.
I also mention a famous rude word for black people that begins with ‘N’ but has been annexed back by its victims. Suddenly, there is a break and the studio fills with grim-faced executives who tell me that I’m cut from the rest of the show.
Hardball should really change its name if it can’t face non-supportive discussion of a word that even Oprah doesn’t shy away from.
What can you expect from a former aide to Tip O’Neil, a diehard New Deal Democrat from Boston and former Speaker of the House?
But really, does it make a difference whether they were former Democratic Party operatives or seemingly objective journalists? Dan Rather was just as biased and subjective as Matthews.
The whole MSM needs diversity of thought and backgrounds.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 11 06 at 12:26 PM • permalinkI once heard a black woman give a speech that said “The object of the Democrat party is to keep black Americans dumb, dependant and Democrat.”
The way I see it, modern liberalism is nothing more than blatant racism and “soft” slavery. Minorities are too stupid to fend for themselves. They are too “low born” to be required to behave according to any standard other than the very lowest.
They are too feeble to be required to learn or perform except at a specially designated low minimum.Therefore we must care for them, since they can not care for themselves.
Any minority attempting to rise above the lowest of levels will be beaten down into submission or ostracised.
This whole discussion seems niggardly to me.

Up next on Jackass with Chris Matthews…
LOL!
But isn’t that a bit redundant?
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2006 11 06 at 03:18 PM • permalinkSpeaking of Black Freedom, the ABC’s celebration of its 50 years of TV broadcasting did a few funny things with chronology.
The most obvious was the 1972 Triumphant Election of Whitlam, followed immediately by the historic referendum on Federal laws for Aborigines.
Rather odd, since that was in 1967 under the Liberal Coalition.#16, Unfortunately I believe there already is a show by the name of Jackass, however by comparison, the existing show is far more intelligent and entertaining to watch…

Quick! Cut to commercial! Get the Klansman outta here! Quit saying the Klan’s roots are in the Democrats! Mooooom!
Posted by Brian Tiemann on 2006 11 06 at 10:33 PM • permalinkNo, no, no,
blacknegroAfricanour melanin-enhanced brethren don’t say ‘nigger’ they say ‘niggah.’ It’s a whole different thing, you see.(I kid you not, btw. I once listened to a parent trying—with a totally straight face—to make that argument to the assistant principal after her foul-mouthed spawn got kicked out of class.)
I, personally, am getting ticked off about being called ‘old’. From now on I want to referred to as a ‘person of wrinkle.’

Woohoo, nice to see my alma mater getting mentioned in the article.
As for silencing Hitchens, it is just another example of the fascist tendencies of the Bushilter regime.
Er, wait, it wasn’t them who was silencing someone?
