By now, you've certainly read about Susan Roesgen and seen the video of her pathetic, biased, despicable farce masquerading as tea party coverage.
PJTV has an excellent video
available here which takes Roesgen and her terrible performance to pieces. One of the most illuminating moments is a segment she ran a few years back at a liberal protest. In her tea party segment, Roesgen is indignantly offended by a sign depicting Obama as Hitler. She considers it not family viewing. Her distaste is written on her face, expressed by her demeanor, and explictly discussed in her own words. Roesgen defends Obama against the sign, because she finds the very notion of such mockery of the President loathsome to her core, we are to understand.
Well a few years back, Roesgen was at another protest. This one was left wing in nature and, as they so often are, the left protest was focused less on an idealogical issue than on pure, unadulterated Bush-hatred. In the segment at PJTV, Roesgen is doing voice-over narration. Her camera zeroes in on a Bush mask worn by a protester, featuring Hitler mustache and devil horns, and Roesgen refers to him as a "look-alike". Yes. When it's Obama as Hitler it's horror, but Bush as Hitler is just plain imitation.
Mainstream media and left-wing outrage at, or contempt for, the tea parties is at once hypocritical and hysterical. It is hypocritical to now be so prudish about Presidential criticism after
8 years of protests featuring calls for the USA "Off the Planet", depicting Bush as Satan, Hitler, a baby-killer and worse, as well as the SAME innuendo from left-wing political activists, writers and political cartoonists. There was a left-wing masturbatory fantasy film featuring Bush's assassination. But
now the left is suddenly concerned with decorum? Please.
You should
watch the video. Roesgen may be the most visible and blatant example of this disturbing bias, but she is manifestly
not the
only example. This is leftist
hypocrisy on full display. Drink it in.
