MSM Making It Up as They Go Along

The headline is “Hate Crimes Surge in U.S. after Obama Election”, supposedly according to the experts. Only problem is no facts, nothing specific, yet it’s news.

Barack Obama’s historic election as America’s first black president has led to a surge of racist incidents across the United States, hate-crime monitoring groups and analysts say. Mark Potok, director of the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, said the final weeks of the US election campaign and its immediate aftermath had witnessed “hundreds and hundreds” of hate-related incidents.

“Since the closing weeks of the campaign, we’ve seen a real and significant, white backlash break out and I think it’s getting worse,” Potok told AFP. Potok traced the onset of the incidents to around the time of election rallies by Republican vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin where shouts of “Kill Him!” were reportedly heard from sections of the crowd.

“But what we’re seeing now is everything from cross burnings, to death threats, to Obama effigies hanging in nooses to ugly racial incidents in schoolyards around the country,” Potok said. (Raw Story, hat tip ATS)

Most of the commenters at ATS were sharp enough to point out that the claims of “kill him” etc. in Republican crowd was not true. One commenter said, “I do not trust the Jewish Southern Poverty Law Center, they love racism that is where they make their money.” I don’t personally know about the JSPLC, but I do know there are many out there who make their living on race-baiting and it is to their advantage to keep these lies going. The truth is just the opposite of the JSPLC’s report.

… blacks are taunting, mocking and threatening whites after their “messiah” won the election. Oh but you’ll never hear the MSM say that. If they do, they’ll end up making some ridiculous excuse like “They’re simply expressing their pride in finally having one of their own as president” (continue reading comments at ATS)

Here is discrimination:

A report has found that there was no legitimate business purpose for the head of Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services to order staff to look up the records of Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, a/k/a Joe the Plumber. Eight of the checks were done without any legitimate business purpose, tighter policies on access to confidential information in state computer databases was recommended, and the findings have been forwarded to the Franklin County prosecutor’s office in Columbus.

Here’s racism:

The 18-year old freshman Annie Grossmann was taunted, stalked, called a racist, and beaten by 4 black women for wearing her McCain-Palin campaign button. (American Thinker) There are numerous stories about verbal attacks on people, even children, for wearing Republican t-shirts and supporting the Republicans. Where’s all the peace and harmony. No change here unless you consider the attacks on whites, Christians and Republicans seems to be OK with Obama voters.

Here’s more racism and abuse against Christians:

The gay-rights folks are harassing Christian groups, specifically Mormons, and blacks for having supported Proposition 8 in California and the traditional view that marriage is between one man and one woman.

The vote in favor was higher than that for President-elect Barack Obama, a man whose election is considered a mandate for change. The votes in California and elsewhere on marriage were a vote for change back to the traditional meaning of marriage. [snip]

Secularists believe religious beliefs should not be considered on political issues, particularly those that conflict with their views. This is a radical view, as most of our moral and legal beliefs come from our Judeo-Christian background. (Washington Times)

On second thought, I guess the title of the AP story was correct — Hate Crimes Surge in U.S. after Obama Election. They forgot to say that the hate crimes are being committed by the left, and against whites, Christians, children, Republicans, and blacks… so it must be OK.
