Stewart on Ferguson

He hit the nail on the head. Intelligence in the end is sadly a prerequisite to comprehension of the problem. If low intelligent folks continued to be manipulated for political gain.......our future is grim. I however believe that this nation has an inherent sense of fair play. Injustice will be addressed.

Pretty much an air-tight shutdown of the "where's the outrage over black-on-black crime!?!?!?!" argument.

Thanks for posting this, Sal. I tried to watch it earlier but couldn't get it to play on that site.

Seaoat, that sense of fair play you're discussing is being drowned out by a constant barrage of dis- and misinformation. I don't think the majority of people even really understand the issues...just listen to the constant drumbeat of FAUX NEWS and right-wing talk radio...and get their news in sound bites. And the effort is so coordinated that every major and most minor right-wing outlets will carry the same message, with perhaps a minor change in phraseology. For instance, the IRS "scandal"...Markle's latest attempt to revive the horse that's already dogfood...Ms. Lerner was set up from day one to hide the massive corruption and influx of dark money by these supposed public-interest groups, which were nothing more than front groups to hide the origins of their funding. Ms. Lerner was transferred to the IRS in 2001 by George W Bush, from the FEC, where she had initiated and left in place major probes into illegal campaign finance from the 1990's. OK...this belongs on the other thread...but the point I'm making is...I had to go through the swamp of right-wing "news" sites, all parroting the same message, to the 6th page before I could find any counterargument.

It's conservative outrage du jour.

I know, I know...the party of Lincoln. Only now it seems like the party of con-men, grifters, and criminals. Now Markle will do some fast cut & paste full of manufactured scandals against President Obama...which, no matter how "fast & furiously" he spins, most thinking people know are complete hogwash.

You're welcome.

Was there any mention of the young white man killed by a black officer two days after the Fergeson shooting? Did the media cover the non-looting, non-building burning, and quiet protests in Utah?


Don't get me wrong.......the black officer did not know the guy was reaching for a cell phone and not a gun.

About 100 businesses "suffered some sort of damage or loss" from the upheaval, says Rebecca Zoll,president and CEO of North County Inc.,an economic and community development advisory organization. Most of those were in Ferguson and adjoining Dellwood,with a few in nearby Jennings,she says.

"I don' t know that we really know what the economic impact will be (from the rioting and protests)," she says. "I don't think we can measure the long-term impact yet because numbers are still coming in."

Even businesses that weren't directly damaged by rioters or looting have seen their receipts drop precipitously over the past two weeks as police closed streets,protesters clogged the avenues and many customers stayed away. Christopher Deeken,a co-owner of NAPA Auto Care Center on West Florissant,says his business is off by about 35%.

Poor Joani ... you just can't fathom the difference of being white or being black in America, can you? The white guy was gunned because the cop thought he was going for a gun. Black people are harassed by white cops
ALL THE TIME in America. Watch the Stewart tape again ...

The truth is, the cop in Ferguson didn't stop Brown and
Brown's friend because they were jaywalking. He stopped them because they were black and jaywalking. Ca-ching goes the Ferguson city coffer when blacks are ticketed for
ANYTHING in Ferguson.

It wasn't racism that got the white asshole drilled by the black cop. It was stupidity demonstrated by a suspect.

Are you trying to tell us racism against black Americans isn't endemic in good ole America?

When one rhetorical question is no longer effective, just ask another one.

Yes. Let's not ask questions that may be pertinent. Just as we shouldn't mention the knife in the unarmed black youths hands at the time of the shooting. We'll have no legal trickery here.

I never ceased to be amazed. Far left Progressives look wherever they have to for information that bolsters their viewpoint. That just happens to be comedian talk show hosts and the Comedy Channel.

I keep thinking I've heard it all and then my Socialist/Communist friends place all their eggs in the Comedy Channel basket!

Keep up the good work!

Oh this is a hoot!

Yes...I think that's what was being said shortly before President Nixon resigned.

Not much surprise, my Socialist/Communist good friends and his comrades have desperately reached out to the Comedy Channel since they can't even count on their beloved CNN for real, factual news. CNN leaped on a story they ADMITTED they could NOT VERIFY. Because the story was damaging, inflammatory toward the accused police officer. SHAME ON THEM...but what else would we expect. Little wonder the Comrades are so desperate that they are resorting to the Comedy Channel for support!

Mediaite writes about CNN’s morning show questioning the reporting of one of CNN’s evening shows.

Monday night, “CNN Tonight” aired an audiotape purported to capture the shooting of Michael Brown. The tape was brought to CNN by St. Louis attorney Lopa Blumenthal, (at right with anchor Don Lemon) who says a former client gave it to her. Lemon repeatedly said that CNN could not verify the authenticity of the tape.

TVNewser has learned CBS News received the same audio earlier this week from Blumenthal, but chose not to run it because it could not be verified.

This morning on “New Day,” two guests on CNN doubted the veracity of it.

“I’ve told your producers that for all I know this is something one of Howard Stern’s punk people had been doing. I look at this and my first inclination is someone is trying to punk CNN,” said former LAPD officer David Klinger. CNN analyst Tom Fuentes also doubted its authenticity: “When I heard this yesterday, I thought the exact same thing: it’s a hoax.”
