Don't get mad at Republicans for their responses to the tragedy in South Carolina

[Yavin4]

Get mad at the fucking media for not calling them out on their bullshit. Republicans have every right to fucking racist, sexist, homophobic..[the list goes on and on] assholes. That's what they want to be and that's who they are. That's their fucking brand like Nike's swoosh.

But in a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-gendered, multi-religious nation and world, being a party of racist jackasses puts you outside the mainstream of humanity, let alone politics. They are fringe party being promoted to the nation as a mainstream party which they are not and can never be.

As a party, they are not far removed from Roof. They dislike African Americans, love guns, and defend police when they kill unarmed African Americans. Are they that different from this shooter?

It's the media's job to call them out on their bullshit, and they are failing miserably.

1. The media's job is to do whatever their paymasters tell them to.

Not failing miserably...business as usual.

2. The corporate media only cares about tax breaks, deregulation, TPP, and other repuke policies

that give them more money and power. They wouldn't call the repuke racists out if 500 people had been killed.

3. And those are the dots that Republicans don't want connected.

Of course we see it. They think just because they say war on Christians and Liberty that we are going to unsee what we have seen. They are ridiculous. I am glad they are the way they are. If they had even one single reasonable position the number of people who call themselves Liberals would not be growing as I type.

4. Absolutely correct.

Media helped GOP bury the Homeland Security report about RW terrorism, too.

5. when they interview people in SC

and the speakers bring up the ugly flag, the hate media like FOX by name, the talking heads get so uncomfortable they find a way out of the conversation. I guess their policy is to respect racism and hate in all its forms - as in just another viewpoint. If they don't make allowances for hate and racism they could be accused of being the liberal media!!!
