Mel Gibson spewed forth anti-semitic puke a few years ago and the media went nuts. Now, Oliver Stone has done the same thing without so much as a peep. Double Standard? You betcha.
Like Gibson blaming Jews for the
planet’s wars, Stone’s lament about Jewish control of the media is
classic anti-Semitism, straight out of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’’ and Henry Ford’s “The International Jew.’’ Unlike Gibson, however, Stone gave vent to his bigotry while perfectly sober.
Yet far from triggering a media storm, Stone’s anti-Semitic conspiracy-mongering barely stirred a breeze.
It's everywhere today; T-shirts with the words "Yup-I'm A Racist" were being sold in Kentucky which of course to the liberal elite means that a bunch of nose picking, knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, inbred hillbillies have embraced racism. They just can't seem to grasp the concept of sardonic wit among TEA partiers.
Listen to the thick headed questions being asked by the guy with the camera. It takes him a long time to get the joke. In fact I'm not sure, based upon his article, that he ever gets the joke.
So let me break it down for you. These guys don't like being called "racists" when their beliefs have nothing to do with race. Instead, they created a T-shirt to do just what Obama advocated:
"If you want the next four years lookin' like the last eight, then I'm not your candidate....But if you want real change...if you want an economy that rewards work...if you want tax relief for the middle class, and millions of new jobs..I need you to go out and talk to your friends, and talk to your neighbors, I want you to talk to them whether they're Independent, or whether they are Republican, ...I want you to argue with them and get in their face"
In fact, some bloggers have even pointed out the guy in the background wearing a FUBU shirt. While I'm certain that in the heat this weekend the wearer was perhaps dripping with sweat, the whole situation is dripping with irony.
