Surrounded?

Saturday 22 May 2010 - Filed under Dumbassery + Journalism

Some Douchebag at Salon:

Organizers surround Kentucky’s GOP office and decry Rand Paul’s criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

. . .

About 20 protesters gathered outside, some with signs accusing Paul of racism.

I’m wondering a couple of things about Salon’s commentary here.  Some things just don’t add up.  1)  His stance on race is no different than most normal people.  He abhors racism and wants nothing to do with it.  And, because you libertards are incapable of seeing anything other than race and only wish to obfuscate the real issues under a false cloud of racism (especially when you have no other talking points), you appear not to be adequately equipped to acknowledge the difference between an argument concerning race, and one concerning private property.  2)  How the fuck do you guys come up with “surround” from what you later describe as “20 protesters gathered outside?”  You wrote this article as if to show a throng of hundreds or even thousands of people demonstrating against Paul’s “racism”, but in reality it was a few people bored on a Saturday, many of whom did not even carry a sign.  In fact, the title and subtitle of your post has more words than said “demonstration” had demonstraters.  In fact, there were more people at the local Applebees in Lexington’s Nurse-Out protest last year.

Nice spin job guys.  I guess you have to keep Paul’s “racism” in front of your readers as long as you can milk it, right?
