Boston Globe Refuses to Reference to Bob Parks
New Media Journal ^ | 12/13/06 | Sher Zieve

Posted on 12/13/2006 6:16:07 AM PST by bocopar

After attending a Young Republicans conference at Boston’s Marriott Long Wharf hotel, Boston Globe reporter Tracy Jan spoke with Candidate for the Massachusetts GOP Chairmanship Bob Parks. Parks’ speech at the gathering is said to have been very well received and Ms. Jan even made sure to ask for the correct spelling of Parks’ name for an article she would be writing.

Bob told me that he asked Jan why the Globe had been snubbing his candidacy. He then advised me that Ms. Jan said that she didn’t know. However, when Jan’s article was written and published, Parks name did not even appear! Instead, Jan concentrated on a “moderate” Republican candidate who is also running for the MA GOP chair and referred to “others” as “wannabees”.

It’s beginning to sound as if the Globe is afraid of Parks, doesn’t it?

They probably got him confused with *Jerry* Parks.

The Boston Globe has a blacklist?

All the news that's fit to print for sheep?

Perhaps if you were more sexually ambiguous. Look at Grace Ross. The Globe loved her.

Logical, and the Dem's control that list. Ever wonder why Lynn Cheney is never seen on the news?

A one time explanation...

bo: the first two letters of my oldest son's name.
co: the first tow letters of my youngest son's name
par: the first three letters of my last name.

Parks probably scares the Globe liberals for much the same reason Booker T. Washington would: What if African-Americans don't need the Liberal Plantation patronage, and can achieve by their own merit? Kinda leaves a lot of political pimps and paracites out of a job, eh?

An advocate/candidate like Parks doesn't even need to win a race for office to have a devastating effect on the 'corrupt patronage'/Liberal Plantation. He merely has to reach a considerable general audience, especially in the African-American community, and calmly, pleasantly talk sense. Could start a mass exodus from the plantation.

Meanwhile it is the citizens of our Commonwealth who need Parks to win the GOP Chairmanship. Because the one-party monopoly of the Degenerate Coalition just isn't working out.

Disgusting. The left has deliberately and consciously decided to ignore black conservatives. There is no doubt about their bad will in this matter.
The very existence of a black conservative violates the left's world-view. They want all blacks to be dependent on the left.
Bob Parks should be listened to, not ignored.
You go Bob! and La Shawn Barber, Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Alan Keyes and all others who are snubbed by the biased left.

True, if it's racism that motivates them. It may be that it's more an acknowledgment of his potential threat as a valid Republican contender, exclusive of race.

Don't forget that the Boston Globe and New York Times are virtually one and the same.

Meanwhile, everyone seems to have forgotten that Ed Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly-elected to the U.S. Senate. Brooke, of course, was, and presumably still is, a Republican.
