The hatefest in TN really highlights the sham that is the MSM

I really don't need to say much more. The glossing over and even concealment of the racist and xenophobic nature of the event by the MSM really says it all.

He doth protest too much, me thinks

news and happenings. The MSM keeps praising all the outlandish actions and speeches of the right wing nutso and republicans as if it was main stream.The media as far back as 25 years ago would have a field day with the lies and hate the republicans are spewing.

Look at the fact that Shelby has put a blanket hold on all Obama appointees. There is absolutely nothing on the news about it. Who knows they are doing all this stuff. If the government wanted to be real so called socialist, the first thing they would do is take over the media. that's what Chavez did in his country. But this administration isn't doing that. Altho the republicans did in a way. They bought all the media outlets and now they control what the public hears and sees.

And I will tell you one thing, if the democrats in congress don't get off their a** and get something done about the media we will loose and continue to loose and this country will really truly be in a worst mess than what bush left it.

TOTAL DISGRACE.....the cable snooze is
dumbing down of the sheeple continues:crazy: :silly: :eyes:

Anyone else hear that?

ON EDIT: Here's the text of the segment:

The Tea Party convention isn't the only show in town.

Another set of activists is in Nashville this week, marking the 50th anniversary of the civil rights sit-in movement. It helped topple Jim Crow segregation laws in the South.

North Carolina often gets credit for being the site of the first sit-ins at a whites-only lunch counter in downtown Greensboro in February of 1960.

But the Nashville movement that launched a few weeks later had a deep impact, as well. Students from historically black colleges such as Fisk University, American Baptist College, and then-Tennessee A & I State had been studying about the non-violence of Mohandas Ghandi for months. They quickly put the methods to use - not just at lunch counters, but at department stores and bus terminals.

They had a strict code of conduct - of asking politely to be served. Of not responding to insults or violence. Of taking "jail not bail" after their arrests. And their techniques were emulated nationwide.

And young leaders from Nashville were among the founders of one of the most influential activists groups of the period - the Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee, SNCC. Snick, as it was known, went on to help organize the Freedom Rides in 1961 to protest segregation on interstate buses. They were also involved in the Freedom Summers that followed, which focused on voter registration in Mississippi.

This week, Sarah Palin compared the Tea Party movement to the civil rights movement, saying that the same "patriotic indignation" drove both efforts, as well as the American Revolution. It's an interesting comparison. After all, the Civil Rights movement led to two landmark pieces of federal legislation, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The true test of the Tea Party's legacy might not take 50 years to know. It might be the midterm elections in November 2010.
