A Thought I've Been Pondering...

Don Imus is fired from CBS after calling the Rutgers Women's Basketball team Nappy Headed Hos but it's ok for President Obama to say "It was like the Special Olympics or something." when talking about his score of 129 in bowling and an apology clears that one right up??? Hmmmmmm.........

That sort of double-standard is just the way it is. The moonbat liberal-left controlled media loves Barack Obama so much that if he pulled his penis out on the Tonight Show and waved it in a white woman's face, they wouldn't care.

I took note that his comment was barely mentioned on the evening news. They simply reported he said it, apologized for it, and that was it. Move on. There was a surprising lack of additional coverage, such as reactions and comments from actual kids and families that are part of the Special Olympics. They didn't want to do any more than the minimum, which was to report the incident.

If Sarah Palin had made a remark like that, you'd be seeing nothing but day after day of interviews with kids with Down's Syndrome crying on camera with Katie Couric about how much Palin's "mean" comment hurt them, blah, blah, blah....

Just like Jesse Jackson on the open mike saying he'd like to cut Obama's balls off. That one faded out amazingly quick too. Imagine if Bush had said that???? Yikes!

Yep, a definite inequality when it comes to the news coverage on our politician's gaffs. None of the comments really bother me because I've got a bit thicker skin than that. But the difference in news coverage depending on WHO says the "offensive" remark is what makes my blood boil.
