and would be if he were a liberal. Last week a Black Conservative Kenneth Gladney attended a town-hall meeting hosted by Rep Russ Carnahan, a Missouri Democrat. Kenneth was handing out "Don't Tread on my Flags" when he was viciously attacked by SEIU thugs. One called him a n***er and he was beaten up by several of these goons. The video was posted on a previous COMMON CENTS blog post. If Kenneth Gladney were a liberal he would become instantly famous, instead of nearly universally ignored. Remember Rodney King - remember Matthew Shepherd. But since he was protesting Obamacare he is largely ignored by the media. In Monday's Washington Times Andrew Breitbart posted a fantastic column titled "I am Kenneth Gladney". It is superlative:
The first round of protests against the Obama administration's chaotic and rapid-fire expansion of government came in the form of grass-roots "tea parties," which were predictably met with scorn by the Democrat-Media Complex (the natural coalition of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media.) CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow led the charge, declaring concerned Americans "tea baggers," an allusion to an absurd sexual fetish beneath describing in a family newspaper. This attack on hundreds of thousands of people practicing their constitutional right to protest speaks volumes not just about the hardened sociopolitical leanings of America's journalistic elite, but about the brazenness with which they are now wielding their unprofessionalism. Last week on the grounds of the once-venerated White House, Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, taking his cues from his allies in the media, referred to last week's health care town-hall protesters as "tea baggers." How far we have fallen. Stepping up the rhetoric from mockery to pure hatred, and absent any evidence, Mr. Olbermann has called the president's public protesters "worse than racists." Political activist and comedian Janeane Garofalo colored them "racist rednecks who hate blacks." And at the somewhat higher end of the food chain, liberal economist Paul Krugman in the New York Times wrote last week that they were motivated by "cultural and racial fear."
