Outrages and Something Else

Outrages and Something Else

There are outrages and then there are outrages.

If you want outrage, more specifically cause for outrage, then take former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who has been the subject of incessant attacks ever since Sen. John McCain chose her for his VP running mate in 2008.

Demonstrating its gut fear of Palin and what she represents, decency and Christian values, America’s left has been on a media-supported vendetta against her from Day One with charges of ineptitude, stupidity, and worse. Those charges have been led by such proven inept and stupid MSM commentators as Keith Olbermann, Katie Couric, and Chris Matthews and have been supplemented by snide comments from White House operatives.

Eager to let the Left know they’re in the fold, Leno and Letterman also rarely let a night go by without Palin jabs which titillate their audiences into paroxysms of laughter.

Still, sometimes, indeed often, liberals go beyond the pale in their attempts to derogate and demean Sarah Palin.

“30 Rock” actor Tracy Morgan went there on national television. With Alec Baldwin as a co-star on that show, it’s almost understandable that Morgan would be repulsive but he even exceeded that low standard when he said Sarah Palin was “good masturbation material:” http://tiny.cc/8r39f

I wonder how the MSM and the White House would have reacted to that line had it referred to Michelle Obama instead of to Sarah Palin.

On a different note which relates to Tracy Morgan, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding segregation under the separate but equal premise was overturned by the another landmark decision fifty eight years later, Brown v. Board of Education. “Brown” ruled that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” the ruling which launched the civil rights movement in America.

Fifty seven years down the line, McCaskey East High School in Lancaster, PA effectively threw out “Brown” and reinstituted a limited form of racial segregation. . .
