John Murtagh stoops to LoWeST form of Race Baiting in outrageous ACT of DeSPeRaTiON…
this came in the mail today…
While we should all feel sorry for what happened to Mr Murtagh’s family back in 1970…
this needs some serious explaining…
what is he saying here?
is he saying, like McSaMe… vote for me because i’m a victim of something…
that happened nearly 40 yrs ago?
or… is he saying that he’s still afraid of a non-existant black panther party?
or is he insinuating that his opponent Andrea Stewart-Cousins…
who happens to be African-American is someone that…
the ‘good white people’ should perhaps link together…
with the black panthers & full circle paranoia… to 9/11…
as a white liberal who is in a bi-racial marriage for 12+ years…
( fer both of us this is our furst & only marriage )
i have to say…
this is really LOW brow DiSGuSTiNG stuff…
UPdaTe: i’ve emailed News12 WC about their ‘puff piece’…
‘WC pol pulls on voters’ heart string with terror tale’
http://www.news12.com/WC/topstories/article?id=217802
http://news12.cv.net/video/EW0918MT.wmv
and their reply was to say that they asked Ms Stewart-Cousins for her response…
i had then called up News12 WC Assignment desk (914) 378-8916 ( press 1 )
to ask that they either have…
an independent media analyst talk about the brochure…
or open it up to public discourse /w/ some sort of questionnaire…
because there is MUCh MoRe to this than merely setting up Ms Stewart-Cousins…
that she needs t’ stoop down to Mr Murtagh’s level to answer a Race Baiting brochure…
it’s obvious that Mr Murtagh believes that he cannot win on the merits or issues…
so he has to play on peoples sympathies…
whilst also simultaneously playing on ‘white fear’…
essentially…
this is NOT about ‘opposition fair-game politics’…
this is about the media…
specifically News12…
being used by the Murtagh campaign…
Mr Murtagh created a ’stinkbomb’…
handed it off to News12…
who he then expects to hand it off to Ms Stewart-Cousins…
i have to thank Thomas Frank for the definition of this…
on page 266 of his latest book ‘The Wrecking Crew’…
which is ‘Vandalism’
( tho t’ give miself sum credit i had come up /w/ th’ stinkbomb analogy earlier in the day )
if we look at the last several electoral cycles…
and the Right’s ‘inventive’ tactics…
this is analagous to ‘Swift Boating’ or the Viral ‘Obama is a Secret Muslim’ e-mails…
this isn’t about ‘fair play’…
it’s about a compliant media…
so again…
i am calling on News12 to answer for their role in this…
to remain silent…
is to admit that at best they’ve been ‘used’…
at worst they are complicit…
