Oops.
I wonder if the phony scandals about Van Jones, ACORN, the New Black Panther Party (with its 2 or 3 person membership) and Shirley Sherrod had anything to do with it? I mean, we're not all watching BET. :biggrin:
Or Glenn Beck calling the first African-American president racist. Or just flat out lies........
Glenn Beck reported it on August 13th, 2009. He said, quote, “Well, I don‘t know about you, but I‘m sure glad to know that Van Jones, the communist, the radical, the anarchist, the guy, you know, part of the Rodney King riots—I‘m sure glad that he has the ear of the president.”
And on August 11th, the same guy, quote, “Here is Van Jones. This is a convicted felon—a guy who spent, I think, six months in prison after the Rodney King beating. He was a black nationalist that came out, an anarchist and a communist. He then found the green movement was the new red. And now he‘s our green job czar. Why is there so much money from the Green Movement, fund for public interest?”
Van Jones didn‘t spend six months in prison for the Rodney King riots. He‘s not a convicted felon. He never served time in prison. He‘s never been convicted of anything. But who cares? The FOX campaign against him worked.
And white people, remember, they‘re coming for you, violent ex-cons who riot against white people, they‘re coming for you.
The other great FOX News crusade of the past year: More black people are coming for you. ACORN—an almost all minority community-organizing group torn apart day after day after day on FOX News because FOX News said they were thugs, criminal thugs who are stealing taxpayer money and stealing elections.
HANNITY: And this is a FOX News alert: an Obama administration official resigned just a short time ago after a she was caught on tape appearing to tell an audience that she had used her position to racially discriminate against white farmers.
This is a story about political outcomes, about the tried and true political strategy of not targeting black people, but targeting white people.
Targeting white people—white voters or white would-be voters to feel afraid of black people, to feel afraid of African-American people as if they‘re not fellow Americans but rather a threat to what white people have. They‘re coming for you. It‘s a zero-sum game. If they get anything, that means you lose something.
The message is a political one, clear as a 1960 campaign-funded segregationist comic book. Stand up, white people, stand up against the black threat.
For generations, the conservative movement has targeted the white voters on the overwhelming majority of the voting populace with political tactics disguised as stories to scare them—to scare them that voting rights and property rights and educational rights and everything that Americans are supposed to be guaranteed, that those things are a zero-sum game.
Blacks are in the pockets of the Democratic party. Wouldn't make much sense for them to get their news from a conservative media outlet considering their voting record.
Yes I'm sure you're right So smearing black people and making them political roadkill isn't supposed to turn them off to Fox News?
