Media Bias Roundup - 06/11/08
Jun 11th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Let them eat cake!
Looks like The Anchoress’ hunch was right on the mark: Go ahead, impeach Bush; try him. You know it’s easy to blame the brave ones when you won’t look in the mirror or take any responsibility. The Democrat’s chickens are coming home to roost so-to-speak…
AQ on the run and The Strata-Sphere gives the scoop: Another AQ Leader Targeted In Pakistan Tribal Areas - Updated! Also, from AJ:
First, credit where it is due - Rusty Shackleford is hearing rumors there may have been a big AQ fish targeted.

I have a link to his post and many other conflicting stories that show this activity is not as it seems or as it is being reported. I can tell right now this story is going to be misreported by the biased news media just like Iraq’s actions against the Mahdi Army were misreported.
From the Democracy Project: Democratizing Drones. Look to the skies…
From Friends of Mark Fuhrman, we have the next installment concerning the Lewis Documents: UPDATE - Challenge to S-R Brunt for follow-up story on Lewis documents. This is an update and for those of you following this, it is a great read…
Not only do words matter, gestures matter and Obama really is good at the latter… From Old War Dogs: Doin’ the Dap. Great piece… Excerpt:
Has anyone noticed that Barack Obama and his wife seemingly have no compunction about performing an African-American solidarity hand ritual [video here, for instance] when they are on stage and in the public eye? What I’m referring to is the Dap, a ritual handshake that I came to know as an Army NCO back in the 60’s as a sign of black solidarity and defiance of the military system.
A great, great post - from Bookworm Room: Say it loud, say it proud: I am a racist! And on the same topic from Brutally Honest: Redefining racism. A great observation from Confederate Yankee: Get Your Racist Checklist Here. Haters unite… The Anchoress asks: Mama, we’re all racists, now? Last, but far from least, from the American Thinker: Apparently I’m a ‘racist’. Whew! All racism, all the time…
From The Radio Patriot: THEY WANT US TO SHUT UP. The Fairness Doctrine rears it’s ugly head once again - trying to shut those up who would tell the truth and expose lies in the media…
From Tom Elia at The New Editor:
As I’ve said before, the more I watch this presidential campaign unfold, the more I am convinced that the Dems are not a political party as much as they are a public relations firm whose primary target audience is that of a remedial civics class.
If you think this description is over-the-top, just listen to the words today from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, 2004 Dem presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, or Chicago Democrat Rep. Rahm Emanuel regarding Repub presidential candidate John McCain’s comments about Iraq in a television interview.
These people are an embarrassment to thought and thinking…
Who do the Dems Thinks They’re Kidding?
