Desperate CNN: Hey, those Tea Party nuts aren’t so bad after all. Please, please tune in!

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 7, 2010 12:49 PM

They’re more than a year late and a dollar short. After incessant mockery, vulgar epithets, and condescension, desperate, ratings-starved CNN is now sending me e-mails touting the fact that one of their producers is saying nice things about Tea Party activists. From CNN’s publicity department:

Hi there,

I thought this might be an interesting post for you– a behind-the-scenes piece about the Tea Party and how the stereotypes don’t tell the full story. Let me know if you need anything else!

Reporter’s notebook: What really happens at Tea Party rallies

“Let me know if you need anything else!”

Yeah, I need an airsickness bag.

Don’t bother clicking on the link. The last place anyone should go to find out “what really happens at Tea Party rallies” is the network that sent out hysterical Susan Roesgen out last April to sneer at Tea Party activists in Chicago. Remember? Who can forget:

That is CNN.

    If Democrats would allow the blacks off of the plantation, they’d realize how conservative most of them are.

    Seriously. If you look at the general attitudes of blacks, you’d find they are anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, pro military (so many of our nation’s finest are black), anti-amnesty, and they love God like no other ethnic group.

    The D’s think all they have to do is tell blacks that they are ‘giving them’ something from the government and the R’s don’t want to ‘give it to them’ and blacks will be liberal.

    Wait until the immigration debate comes up and the leading African American race baiters realize that there will be more Mexicans than blacks to compete for all the government handouts. And while Mexicans haven’t been here as long as the blacks, many have found success instead of victimhood.

    Come to think of it, I’d rather watch a re-run of “Sanford and Son” than Olbertard or Rachel Madcow anytime.

    Hearing Redd Foxx call that one cop a “honkey” makes me laugh. And when he tells Julio to get his Puerto Rican goat out of his living room? Ha! Comedy gold!

I’m glad Glen Beck got the hell away when he did. I’ve noticed the Fox is picking more former CNN people as they jump ship.

    It may take a while but being right matters. If we stick to the facts and refrain from embellishing our arguments with over-the-top rhetoric, the majority eventually comes around to our way of seeing things.

    Our message resonates with the majority of Americans because we are stating our case clearly and consistently and they realize that we are just like them.

    Our opponents (one-party elitist government) are selling cancel while we are selling the cure. It takes a smaller marketing budget to sell the cure.

    Good thing I am here to set you free from mere facts and set you on the course of Hispanic PC-even for those of us who reject it:

    Yes DUI, spousal abuse and gangbanging are generally disapproved of BUT those are Gringo/Imperialist/racist/jingoist values which you must not force on the Hispanic male. The Macho is not a lesser value and must not be denigrated.”

    I tried that line with my father once. Being a ” Gringo/Imperialist/racist/jingoist” wannbe he slapped that attitude right out of me. Coconuts are hard shelled they is, oh yea. Susan Roesgen and the CNN clowns could use a bar of soap across the teeth-not as punishment but as a reminder we were told. Even mother coconuts are hard shelled.

    Maybe, but consider that a relentless and strident partisan approach just attracts enemy fire. Two can play the political camoflage game.

    But I agree guys like Armey and Graham are no asset in the press for real conservative change.

    This is far too little, too late and I have to note the link provided still reports the lies about the supposed racist slurs as fact. The only time I ever see CNN is when I am at the airport and I have to divert my eyes to avoid having my IQ lowered 10 points. They should just officially join Organizing for America so they can more openly root for the Dems and receive some of that Obama stash to bail them out.

    Well, being the kind of guy who never takes anyone’s advice to not read something, I clicked the link to the CNN piece. Wish I really hadn’t because the guy spent the first two paragraphs reiterating the charges of racial epithets being hurled as the congressmen went in to vote on obamacare before he started on the “well, maybe they’re not so bad afterall” bit. He was, in my opinion, completely missing the point rather pathetically.

    Yeah, CNN is wonderful to watch. It was a joy to see Hughley claim that the Republican party consisted of Nazis, and Steele just sit there and nod his head almost in agreement. –sarc.

    Rosegun is not the only dogmatic leftist at CNN. CNN is a ferociously antiIsrael network. Christine Amanpour was interviewing a guest when the subject of waterboarding came up. Amanpour became apoplectic. She yelled at the guest: “Waterboarding! That’s what the Israelis do”. The interview had nothing to do with Israel but in Amanpour’s disturbed and fevered brain, torture and Israel are the same. Then there is Rick Sanchez, who has his own victims in Miami to atone for. Sanchez was interviewing an antiIsrael zealot last week when it turned into a lovefest of antiIsrael venom. CNN is just a basket case. It ratings are beneath the toilet and it has to rely on the superannuated Larry King to beat out Cspan 2 in the ratings.

    They are NOT speaking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

    I am not giving them a pass on this:

    There were a few signs that could be seen as offensive to African-Americans.

    Show us pictures of the signs, and let us judge for ourselves. I’m not taking their word for it. Sorry, but they have cried wolf too many times.

    Here’s what you often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: offensive posters blasting President Obama and Democratic leaders; racist rhetoric spewed from what seems to be a largely white, male audience; and angry protesters rallying around the Constitution.

    Case in point: During the health care debate last month, opponents shouted racial slurs at civil rights icon Georgia Rep. John Lewis and one person spit on Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. The incidents made national headlines, and they provided Tea Party opponents with fodder to question the movement.

    That is not truth, that is B.S.

    Andrew Breitbart offered up $10,000 to anyone who could show proof of the claims that racial slurs were hurled at Democrats on their way to vote for Obamacare. No proof was ever presented, but yet CNN repeats the lie as if it were fact.

    This CNN piece has a little bit of truth in it, and that is at least a step in the right direction, but the lies it continues to spread as truth negate any redeeming value in this piece.

    It’s time for the MSM to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Otherwise, they absolutely deserve to go bankrupt.

    Exactly.

    The Tea Parties are real, grassroots America.

    False charges of racism by whites, along with real racism by blacks, helped Obama get elected. Prior posts I wrote about this:

    Obama Nation:
    Using Racism In Order To Form A More Socialist Union

    Who’s Racist?

    While the real racism of blacks strongly supporting Obama has continued (as Rasmussen demographics have shown), the false charges of racism by whites don’t stick anymore.

    Hi there,

    I thought this might be an interesting post for you– a behind-the-scenes piece about the Tea Party and how the stereotypes don’t tell the full story. Let me know if you need anything else!

    Shhhh. Don’t saying anything, but we were instrumental in creating and spreading those stereotypes. – CNN

    I check out MSNBC, especially on election nights, just for the pure comedy of having Olby and Chrissy sit next to each other and try to be civil. I can’t find a reason to look at CNN.

    The last time I watched either was in the middle of the 2000 election recount.

    I was tuning back and forth between Fox and MessNBC to see how differently MessNBC reported things, and tuned over to CNN once. In the middle of some major announcement on the other channels, CNN had some typical, pseudo-intellectual talk show on some crap.

    Haven’t watched either since.

    Didn’t Ted Fonda have something to do with CNN originally? That right there would be reason enough to never tune in. For how ever many days this Crap News Network has been on the air is how many days I haven’t watched it. I don’t see any reason not to extend that for another day. It’s highly likely I’ll make the same decision again tomorrow.

    Well, this senior won’t dance to some rapper, but put on some disco and this guy (with a good partner) will entertain his 2 teen grandkids with some good latin disco moves. Go farther back and watch some boogaloo, skate, jerk, mashed potato and twist. :) Go even farther back and I can still do the moves to some big band music, though it was before my time.

    CNN earned a nickname among troops in Iraq as the “Communist News Network”. It was famous (infamous?) for several things but none of it having to do with reporting the truth from Iraq. They could have, they had the personnel, the equipment, their forted up private villa they had access to the stories that they didn’t tell you. The ones where US troops engaged in random acts of being Americans helped ordinary people in Iraq. The ones that might have helped save an American life or two had they been reported and if nothing else would have told you how really and truly amazing our troops really are. They could have told you about what really was going on in Iraq but didn’t. They didn’t tell you how Al Qaeda in Iraq kept its hold on sections of the country through terror and acts so terrible they seem like works of fiction. They never explained the byzantine politics of Afghanistan or that Hamid Karzai is the problem there and not the US or that ISAF has a very convoluted structure where there is no unity of command and where if a unit gets into trouble it may or may not receive help from a nearby allied unit because that unit has to wait for a decision from its own national commander and his government before lifting a finger. It has the resources to tell you that we’re using contractors who make tactical decisions they’re not qualified to make like where an FOB will be located because we lack the capacity (equipment, personnel) in logistics and engineering to locate our bases where we need them and not where a contractor can do so and still turn a profit. They haven’t ever explained that the Taliban isn’t a monolithic structure but rather a loose not quite confederacy of charismatic warlords armed with far better equipment than they ought to have access to. I wonder has CNN ever looked at where the money came from?

    Reporter’s notebook: What really happens at Tea Party rallies
    By Shannon Travis, CNN Political Producer

    … a largely white, male audience…

    Blacks don’t just attend Tea Party rallies, they speak at them and are running for office. A great example:

    Bill Randall

    Here is YouTube video of Bill Randall speaking at the July 4, 2009 Tea Party in Raleigh, NC.

    A “Tea Party Candidate” is not a candidate who is endorsed by the Tea Party movement…

    A “Tea Party Candidate” is a candidate who has personally endorsed, supported and contributed to the Tea Party movement, long before it became “mainstream”.

    CNN has already burned their bridges with me. As long as Fox remains on the air (Duh Won hasn’t shut them down, yet, a la his buddy Hugo), I’m covered.
