Pot meet kettle.

Should she have repeated what was said? No. She could have described the post w/out quoting from it.
As I said in another thread. "Its sad that humans can do this to eachother." We are all human yet we have a problem treating eachother as such. I am not trying to start a race war. But I do hate that word. And yes I think Media Matters is a waste of space. The poster that I was commenting on it loves to bash the Blaze for being "unreliable" yet she uses an unreliable source that is actually unreliable.

So you seriously believe that President Obama is trying to stir up a race war?

He's trying to stir up his base and get them excited since his record isn't quite doing that for him. He needs to remind all of his caged black Democrat voters that they're the victims of constant racism otherwise they might actually get off the Dem. plantation and enjoy their freedom.

They're every bit as reliable as the Blaze, probably moreso. They were the first links that popped up about that particulary story, other than youtube videos which I refuse to consider news sources no matter who does them. The last two links are not from MM.

She was quoting the killer.
She wasn't just going to say "The shooter used a racial slur".
When she says the actual racial slur it gets more people riled up. That's what CNN wants.

How does one inflame the "rase issue" when the issue is about race to begin with? Which is more inflammatory two men of one race targeting members of another race, or a report reporting on the motive of the shooters?

Thank you! When they report that someone said "the n-word" what the hell do they think we are thinking what the "n-word" is supposed to stand for? Say the damn word and move on!
