John Lewis, Lazy Media and Their Race Cards
The only question I have for Congressman John Lewis is, "What took you so long?" The McCain campaign was apparently caught off guard by the the race card salvo, while many of us knew this day would officially come.
For Immediate Release
Saturday, October 11, 2008
ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement:
"Congressman John Lewis' comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale. The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama's record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign. I am saddened that John Lewis, a man I've always admired, would make such a brazen and baseless attack on my character and the character of the thousands of hardworking Americans who come to our events to cheer for the kind of reform that will put America on the right track.
"I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election. Our country must return to the important debate about the path forward for America ."
Okay, let's take off the gloves.
While Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have to show some public civility, those of us often on the receiving end of liberal racist hate do not.
What set this off? Reports from a biased mainstream media of hate speech directed at Barack Obama. As I know the rules of journalism; something some in the mainstream may learn once they achieve first grade industry status, one should not report stories they can't back up. So far innuendo has been reported as fact to further a rumor they've failed to substantiate.
