Liberal Media’s ‘Racist’ Narrative at RNC: ‘Republican Party is White, Aging, & Dying Off’
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 08/30/2012 5:59:26 PM PDT by chessplayer

The liberal media can’t seem to help themselves. While counter-arguments are occasionally acknowledged, most journalists of the progressive persuasion are not interested in fair and balanced coverage of politics. Facts and figures are seemingly subjective in the whole scheme of things. Severely limited studies and polls seem to provide them with all the information they need. Oh, and almost everything is racist.

The Washington Post has been one of most reliable offenders, as far as daily publications are concerned. For example, Rosalind Helderman, Jon Cohen and Aaron Blake collaborated on a report that was published today suggesting the “Republican Party base is white, aging and dying off.” This is according to an “extensive analysis" by David Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

It doesn’t seem to matter that the speaker lineup in Tampa has included the likes of Artur Davis, Marco Rubio, Mia Love, Condoleezza Rice, Susana Martinez, Luis Fortuno, Ted Cruz and Nimrata “Nikki” Haley (née Randhawa). Herman Cain's rise during primary season bears no significance either.

Speaking of white, aging, and dying off, I don’t watch the alphabet networks anymore, haven’t in a decade. Don’t read Time or Newsweek, haven’t in a decade.

I used to buy multiple newspapers for the purpose of gleaning details and comparing coverage, almost like a sovietologist looking to see whats been airbrushed in or out... don’t bother anymore. Haven’t bought a newspaper in several years.

And I am better informed than ever.

As of last week, I think, “Newsweek” bit the dust.

If that's truly the case, why are they worried about us? Tea Party mortuus.

Yet, they are acting as if they are panicked and frightened. Like they might be losing. Big time.

I wonder what it is that they are so afraid of...

I have spent my entire adult life, to date, rejecting racism and hoping for the same type of colorblind society that Martin Luther King dreamt of. What I've seen instead of racial harmony is the growth of a deep reverse racism that celebrates comments about Mexico ‘taking back the American southwest’, ‘whites will be a minority in the US by year xxxx’, and drives some to make comments like ‘Now you're going to be ruled by the black man’, etc..

In my heart, I know that if tomorrow Caucasians became a minority in the US, this news would not be met with a universal sigh of relief that we were now beyond race. It would most definitely be seen by some as an opportunity for vengeance. Why should anyone who happens to be white not be concerned by the anti-white rhetoric that has become acceptable banter in liberal circles? I want to live in a world that doesn't see skin color. I will not, however, let people to whom I've done nothing punish me for wrongs I did not commit.

My kids and grand kids have been very blessed, I don’t say that lightly....they’ve had every race under the sun as friends. Racism wasn’t an option in my home.

As they grew up they learned the hard way about reverse racism. The DNC is in for a rude awakening.

IMO

From where I sit, the kids who ARE racist tend to be inner city, welfare kids. That’s a shame. That to me IS slavery as the dems want them there.

Yeah, I’m old and white, but I’ve raised five kids to take my place, and they are all Republicans.

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, someone said a long time ago. The problem is that instead of celebrating traditional families as they claim they do, the Republican Party is always touting the “successful” professional or political woman, just as liberals do. If conservatives would have more children and do away with government schools, it would be liberalism that would be dying out, not conservatism.

Unfortunately, the only group that seems to have large families these days are Muslims.

Perhaps I’m a cynic, but the title of the article makes a valid point.

The demographics of the nation are changing, and those who are bein’ born don’t believe the same things as those who are a-dyin’...

Yes, the 2010 elections certainly showed how bad it is for the Republicans. Oh, wait....
