Town Hall Outrage? Media cooperated in disruptions at GOP events

A special spot in hell is reserved for the media whose shameless hypocrisy has sunk to new lows with their feigned indignation over health care town hall protests. Even as they currently bluster about 'astroturf' and shout down guests about shouting people down, these same Obama sycophants refused to condemn orchestrated disruptions aimed at the Bush administration, and, in some cases, may actually have conspired to execute them.

According to Dante, the eighth circle of hell holds those who have committed conscious fraud or treachery -- such as the Media wing of the Democratic Party has been perpetrating. Perhaps most egregious among them have been the Obama sycophants at MSNBC.
'The Place for Propaganda' has been plucking individual protesters who went to health care town halls and confronting them on-air with irrelevant questions, or intentional misquotes, in order to rattle them and make them appear to be loons.

Case in point: Chris "I felt this thrill going up my leg" Matthews accusing protester William Kostric of "carrying a God damned gun" at Obama's New Hampshire town hall, even though Kostric was outside, not inside the event, and was carrying his handgun legally, holstered safely on his leg. Ironically, one of the points Kostric was trying to make, and that Matthews refused to hear, was about the erosion of individuals' rights. The Second Amendment apparently doesn't count for much at MSNBC.

The media has all but ignored that the current shouting-down speakers at health care meetings started with leftist activists in May. "(A)ctivists disrupted a Senate Finance Committee hearing Tuesday, standing up one after the other as Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) tried to restore order," according to Politico, noting that the protest was organized by three groups, "all of whom support a single-payer, government-run health care system."

This follows years of kid glove treatment of left-wing disruptions at Republican events.

Of course, comparing the current town hall protests to these previous disruptions of events is somewhat akin to comparing apples and hand grenades.

The current town hall outbursts are coming from tens of thousands of folks at events at which they are supposed to exercise their First Amendment rights and speak out. The manufactured disruptions organized by Code Pink and their radical-left comrades were attempts by a handful of people to interrupt, even stop, lawful gatherings and to deny thousands of other folks those same First Amendment rights.

The leftist disruptions of Republican events back then were often reported -- if given any coverage at all -- with bemused admiration, as in, 'Gee, how did they manage to pull that off?'
Well, the answer is, Left wing protesters often pulled off their stunts with the cooperation -- intentional or not -- of the media.

NOTE: The large newspapers and broadcast media around the Country wonder why they are losing subscriptions and viewers? This is a perfect example of when they decided they were an arm of the DNC instead non-partisan journalist. It is more obvious by the day that this crop of journalist for the most part wouldn't know what the SPJ Code of Ethics says and if they did, they have ignored what a Journalist is all about in order to carry the water of the DNC and elected Democrats. From their point of view, Freedom of Speech only pertains to those with the liberal agenda if you read this carefully which hits every point of what is wrong with today's media especially those inside the beltway and NYC.
