Hollywood, and other Liberal Projectionists*
A commenter to our previous post, Falcon, had this to say about Thomas Sowell and the state of things in general:
I just listened to Thomas Sowell talk about his article on the Laura Ingraham Show. You're right, he's simply brilliant.I followed your link, and you're absolutely right Falcon, Oliver Stone did miss an important detail. (and I am just as incensed that he dissed a fellow hometown Buckeye!) But sadly I have come to expect things like this from the liberal party (and people) of this country. They claim to be the most tolerant party, and yet kick the likes of Joe Lieberman to the curb and castigate Michael Steele and Ken Blackwell for not toeing the party line. They claim to be diverse and yet it takes a Republican president before we have a Black Secretary of State or an Hispanic Attorney General - not to mention the dearth of minority candidates the liberals see fit to promote nationwide. They claim to be the generous and compassionate ones and yet constantly promote ways for the Government to take money out of the hands of a large number working people only to give it to the few they think should have it (and - shock - who then vote for them!). And yet all the while claiming that we conservatives and Republicans are the racists when Hollywood - the great gleaming jewel of their liberal universe - overlooks things such as the one you point out. And when a segment of that Hollywood elite does find enough courage and good sense to break from the liberal orthodoxy and dare to speak out against an obvious evil, what happens? They are assailed by the true power of the left - the curs and vipers who make comments like these.Off topic - Here's another article that may interest you. Let me know what you think.
I dare anyone, of any political persuasion, to peruse the liberal and conservative blogs (or, to use Ace's terms, the sinistrosphere and dextrosphere) and see which of those sites have more snarling hatred, more venom, more intolerance, segregation, divisiveness, and racism. See which site has commenters and supporters (and even posters) that actually use terms like Hymie, compare people to Hitler, Nazis and Ava Braun, pillory their own candidates who dare to think for themselves or stray from the script, photoshop people to be in Minstrel blackface, or call a Black political candidate an Oreo or Uncle Tom.
They scream that we on the right are intolerant, divisive, and racist. But, to paraphrase William Shakespeare's Hamlet, "The liberal protests too much, methinks."
* Projection: Projection is one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud and still acknowledged today. According to Freud, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else. For example, a person in psychoanalysis may insist to the therapist that he knows the therapist wants to rape some women, when in fact the client has these awful feelings to rape the woman.
Comments
I'd like to point out that our esteemed MSM friends at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette show a slightly less egregious and more, um... nuanced flaw in their character.
Is it once again only feasible that this story would "draw flak from African-Americans"? Do European-Americans and Asian-Americans not have an interest in how a brave American is maligned, regardless of hypenation?

Thanks for the notable, Steve. BTW, how did they get the race of a major character in a biographical film wrong? It's just so incredibly Hollywood, isn't it?

hey,the fact that you have honest abe on the website , to emphisize your meaning of the republican party to blacks is as dispicable as blacks claiming clinton as one of thier own , lincoln made a political decision to free the slaves which ultimultly translated into him being our deliverer but abe was honest to himself when he stated the we (blacks ) wer not fit to politic with the whites , so you black gop members are as lost as the black caucus in congress with your lame devisive politics , we need our own party to handle our own priorities ,not liberal ideas with no basis in common society and definately not some uppity black american who slipped through the cracks of the system to cuddle up to some one who uses you as a pawn to attract votes we should be democratic in our choices of leadership and do 1man 1vote to give everyone who cast a vote aa legitimate voice in the choice of leaders and conservative in how we judge our fellow citizens and not be so quick to condem each others way of life find me a rich black liberal and I'll resign as president of black america
