Bernie Goldberg: I Bet Couric Wouldn't Trust MJ With Her Kids

I guess that would mean any other entertainer would be a safe bet to leave your 8, 9, 10, 12 year old boy or girl with.  These guys are spewing a lot of hate.  Or is it just plain ol jealously.  Actually fear is the matrix that produces anger, jealously, hate in the envelope of racism.  O'Reilly comes down on the media's coverage of Michael Jackson as if it is excessive. You would think he wouldnt to cast the first stone in haste. Why? Because same said media allows him to excessively voice his catering to bigots, his slanted media coverage of gays, blacks, women, democrats and others who dont share the same "Good Ole boy" sentiment.

Conversely, there are those who share these sentiments: “Racist, fascist, anti-gay, right-wing bigot go away.” Furthermore, extreme bigoted republican types are going the way of the dodo. Why? Because of the power of bloggers and hackers. Remember those famous quotes from Jesus: "Dont throw your pearls before swine." Well that was only part of the entire quote. The other part goes like this "because they will use them to rip you open with." Well how about this pearl: "The pen is mightier than the sword."  That pearl was made famous by politician Benjamin Franklin.  That exact concept is now being used by this generation to unseat the abusers of power and elect those they see as "pearls."  I'm predicting we will see and hear more about elections being thwarted by bloggers and those using the internet to get the word out about bigot types.

"By choosing a racist, sexist, hate spewing entertainer over a respected, fair ex-general, Cheney is illustrating the new ugly face of the Republican party. A party with no ideas, a party that caters to racists and bigots and a party that wants America to fail." 

The above partial quotation from the Huffington Post illustrates the sentimentalities of Bill O'Reilly.  In the same breath say:  O'Reilly, Limbaugh and King.  Congressman Rep. Peter King exhaled his racist anger and jealous sentiments concerning the media coverage of Michael Jackson's furneral.  I feel for the good ole boys.  Try to put yourself in their position.  Imagine having a Black President with Muslim roots, who has an Arabic sir name a Jewish first name, raised by a white grandmother and  who has an African father!  If I was a republican bigot I'd be meaner than a wounded mother elephant.

How insensitive!  How stupid can you be.  Anybody that stupid does not deserve to be an elected official.  I guess he never realized that everyone that loves Michael Jackson is now going to hate him.  There are millions of bloggers who cut their teeth and took their first computer literate steps to the sounds of the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson's songs.  I'll bet that they wont be voting for Peter King.  Furthermore, they will  probably be doing blogs and email to keep him from being elected or re-elected.  How bout that?  His political blood be on his own head.  He has really put his foot in his mouth this time.  His time  and the era of the big mouthed bigot has passed.  We have an internet savvy President who understands and respect the power of blogger and internet article writers.  There are also a few senators and congressman whove lost seats and elections due to the same.
