Today Fox News promoted the Tea Party rally in Searchlight Nevada, where Sarah (I truly have nothing to say) Palin, was one of the main speakers. The Tea Party crowed gathered in Searchlight the senatorial district of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ( D) with hopes to intimidate the senator who is in a struggle to hold on to his senatorial seat in the fall.
Fox News promoted this event with glee assuring that Sarah Palin is a celebrity who's appearance is more valuable to Fox then the President of the United States. One blogger on Media Matters for America wrote ...
"I'd like to know how Fox reconciles their assertion that they're an authentic news outlet with their practice of selectively covering events. For instance, President Obama gave several speeches on the health care legislation that was under debate at the time, and Fox was the only cable news outlet that didn't carry any of them. Yet they'll cover Sarah Palin? A half-term Republican governor rates more airtime than the President of the United States? How do Fox fans keep their gazes so firmly averted to the unsubtle bias in such practices? "

I personally observed how the Fake and Biased Network snubbed the President when all other cable news channels covered his speeches. When former president George W. Bush spoke they were there 24/7 but for some reason since the election of President Obama Fox finds something else to report on when the President speaks the only attention the president receives from Fox is constant attacks on his administration 24/7.
One reason to give her this type of promotion is she is part of the Fox misinformation team she has been hired by Fox to represent the less educated, angry, fearful, racist, extremist, violent, Fox News watcher and keeping in the Fox News tradition she is a good looking woman.

The Tea Party'ers the Republicans Black Eye

They're at it Again
The racist , the homophobic religious zealots, and the down right ignorant have come out to attack all of the democratic congressional leaders who are voting today on the most historical bill since Lyndon Johnson's administration. Since the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt over 100 yrs ago health care for the American people has been a serious issue that 18 previous presidential administrations have not been able to tackle fully until today.
It is unfortunate that the current Republican Party is void of true intellectual leadership and has little to offer in their supposed counter argument except for appealing to the abased ideological attacks on ones race or sexual orientation. The frustrated Tea Party movement made ugly remarks yesterday towards Representative John Lewis one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.
According to Sam Stein at the Huffington Post
A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) had been spat on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a 'ni--er.' And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "faggot," as protesters shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president's speech, shrugged off the incident.
Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
The unfortunate response by the Republican leaders is that this is an isolated incident and it does not represent the so called tea party movement, yet when one examines the so called movement it has been latent with those who use racist placards or comments that speak negatively towards the president based on his race.
As of the time of this posting it appears that the vote in favor of Health Care reform is going to take place favorably for those Americans who feel the need for true reform. The republican party will have to wake up tomorrow wondering why the Apocalypse did not take place.
They are still trying to explain how a black president has not destroyed the country, yet most of these angry people are still going to work , paying their bills, enjoying life to the best of their idiotic ability. They will have to face the facts that our nation is at a pinnacle of change and
even though they continue to use the tactics of fear and bigotry this momentous vote will start a greater movement of true governmental change that will finally work for the benefits of the people, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it.
