“When will Whitey catch a goddam break?”

You’re despicable Tommy.

Also, why is it that we can vote user comments up or down but not the article itself? Seems like it might be useful for Mediaite to know which of their contributors consistently post well-regarded articles, and which don’t. Guess which list you would find yourself on Tommy?

Holy Crap!
Media/Journ0list corruption, in plain view.
The article above is totally & completely a propaganda piece,
a Lewinsky event for Obama of unimaginable proportions.

TC:”The same people who were scared stiff that uninsured deadbeats might get access to the same government health care that they have are now nearly apoplectic that the Obama Justice Department is somehow sticking it to the White Man. When will Whitey catch a goddam break? ”

Holy crap! R U Kiddin me?
I knew this Site would slowly morh into a Media Matters/Kos type as
elections were closing in, I just never thought it would be so fast & so blatant…

Most of the Mediaite journalists are pretty good and at least try to be fair even though it’s impossible to completely hide your biases. The problem is mainly Tommy Christopher who is just an unabashed progressive cheerleader with absolutely no regard for objectivity.

Kenm,
I don’t have a problem with Jon, but Colby, Frances, and Glynnis are no better than Tommy.

OK… lets get this straight. Tommy is a liberal. He is not ashamed of it and mentions it in a lot of his interviews. He is NOT pulling a Dave W (who let the Wash Po put out that he was a conservative without him correcting the record). He is allowed to be a liberal and write his opinion about the media and how stories are covered.
Geees, we bitch about the MSM/Katie Couric types that lie to our faces that they’re an “unbiased source of facts”, AND bitch about an honest liberal that comes to a story from HIS PERSPECTIVE. Tommy is not hiding his bias… isn’t that what a lot of us were asking for from reporters? He writes good print from his perspective that he is allowed to have and we get to comment on… isn’t that the point? And kinda fun?
I disagree with Tommy on a lot of what he writes. I have liberal views and conservative ones… Penn & Teller are MY hero’s :). But I like to read what he writes (and I like Dave W too, he just should have been more honest when WaPo put him out as a conservative) so I come here. His writing is smart, and he backs up his statements with documentation. Yes the DOJ did release a document explaining that the dropped the NBPP case after a no-show by the defendants got them a conviction… that is a fact. Should they have? Well I don’t think the DOJ would have dropped a no-show conviction of the KKK… but that is my opinion.

Colby has better hair.

Once again, Tommy, the White House Correspondent, shows who it is he is working for, and it ain’t the little people.

Puter, Colby loves to email me and tell me to “check myself”, and then hide under his desk when I respond, which is why I include him. I think he’s a liberal coward. At least Tommy has the guts to confront people who call him out.

Flash ! Hysterical Washington Stenographer Strikes Again !

JUst look at the headlines today.

THE ONLY REASON this Site has gotten some legitimacy,
as to being something other then the usual Left Wing BS Rag, is
the (almost) effort to include some *reality or facts, among
their Left Wing propaganda.
As of today, I see clearly, they have decided to start leaping further Left.

Headline:”NBC And CBS Reject Ground Zero Mosque Ad..FOR GOOD REASON (?)
by Glynnis MacNicol |

I guess we’ll have to wait & see.

Declaring/admitting Political preference & opinions, is commendable.
Lying spinning 7 completely altering facts is not ..It’s just shady

How interesting!
NO…No usual bias here…

I think Tommy is one of those who jumped up and cheered when OJ was acquitted. How’s that search for the “real killer” going Tommy?

I’m guessing that is your E-mail buddy MichelleF..
I guess he lurks :::eye roll::::

Tommy, you really are a putz. I can’t imagine how, when, or why any organization (other than Mediaite) would ever hire you.

R U Kidding?
He would carry water for “Queefy Olberdouche” (not mine but I love it)
or Ed Shultz +any1 @PMSNBC

I must not have gotten the chain e-mail from my old conservative grammy.

As others (http://www.mediaite.com/online/cue-hysterical-town-hall-mob-over-new-black-panther-case/#comment-92108) have pointed out, I don’t make any bones about my point of view. I’ll still stand behind my record of fairness, and when I deliver an opinion, I support it. I’m not a “progressive cheerleader” or water carrier, as even a quick review of my work will indicate. Like me, you’re all entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

I commented to the thread yesterday that there was no reason for the Congressman to know about the controversy because it’s not before either of his committees, there’s no bill before Congress and it has nothing to do with his district.

Of course Megyn Kelly (and possibly others at Fox News) apparently believes that every member of Congress should be aware of every single issue and I’m guessing they think that FNC should be the sole source for all info, but I’m going to assume that after the Town Hall video went viral every Congressperson’s staff prepared a brief for their member.

IOW: I’d be somewhat surprised, if it happens again.

Tommy, I don’t understand the crusade to pooh-pooh the story. As Mediaite has noted, a liberal group has accused Obama of using voter intimidation tactics during the primaries. Who knows if this is true, but, combined with the nbpp story, don’t you think it’s a bit premature to mock the story out of hand?

The knock on the nbpp story is that it’s an isolated thing, two guys who didn’t really intimidate anyone, but on the other hand, and this is the easiest what-if in the world, if anyone thinks that two skinheads under similar circumstances would have had their civil case dropped, is an idiot.

And all of you hating on Tommy right now, remember this. He is the one who sacrificed his job at AOL to report on the Playboy Conservative Women Hatef@#% article and how wrong it was. If his ONLY ethic was to hate on conservative/Republicans he would not have sacrificed in a real monetary way for people he “hated”. How many of you would sacrifice your JOBS and stand up for people on the other side of the isle? Yes he is a liberal and his articles are going to be tinged that way, but you guys obviously like reading him since your here. Notice i didn’t say agree with him, I said reading him. I don’t agree with him… i like his writing. Period.

Again, this is the far-right proving something we already know: they are afraid of black people…. BOO!

That’s kinda funny actually… Seeing as how the naacp talks about the tea party, sounds like they’re a bunch of iddy biddy fraidy cats. :) Oh my gosh, all those old white people might kick my ass! Oh no!!

“Cue Hysterical Town Hall Mob Over New Black Panther Case”

Cue ignorant congressman and Tommy Christopher, leftist hack and apologist.

Wasn’t that case thrown out, before Obama was in office (Yes it was, actually)? Or would that fact conflict too much with the right-wing neo-racism worldview?

That silly reality and its liberal bias.

Seeing a CROWD of ANGRY Right-Thinking Americans HYSTERICALY HECKLE a political candidate to score CHEAP POLITICAL POINTS gives me almost as much of a raging Freedom Chubby as calling a LIB “racist”!!!1 GO TO IT, True Patriots … with every SCREAM and RANT, you make our Movement MORE LEGITIMATE!!!1

No… actually on the facts of this one you are wrong. I don’t know about “morally” wrong, but you are factually wrong. The defendants were found guilty due to not appearing in court… they were actually convicted. The Eric Holder DOJ reviewed the case and felt that had they actually had to try the case they would not have won, so they dropped it against all defendants accept one. TC has linked this document to many of his writings and you should do yourself a favor and read it before making statements that are wrong on the facts. As was said you are entitled to your opinions, not your own facts.

Now would Eric holder have dropped a case against the KKK, White Knights, or other WHITE racist groups. I don’t think they would have. They would have wanted, in my opinion, to make a statement that voters will not be intimidated… or something to that effect. As for FOX “trotting out” the NBPP to perform a “minstrel show”, I’m sure they will stop when Keith Olbermann and eveyrone at MSNBC stops using the word raciest every 5 minutes and “trotting out” that idiot with the ni@@ers sign at a tea party rally.

“When will Whitey catch a goddam break? ”

Classic. :)

Yes he is a liberal and his articles are going to be ****tinged**** that way,
but you guys obviously like reading him since your here.
———–

Just look at the article above!
That’s not **tinged*** that’s lies and spin from drama central.

“Hysterical?” Or:”the “manufactured menace” of a New Black Panther-controlled
election(?) has gripped California’s 27th District.

People at the Town Hall were shocked at the B*lls of Rep Brad Sherman to LIE To
their faces w/the lame “I know nothing a bout this”

I’m sorry, Tommy Christopher may be entitled to his own
flawed Left Wing opinions, but not HIS own facts!

Too bad some panthers weren’t there with clubs. They could have clubbed the crowd into submission.

Good points that I will answer honestly. That “liberal group” thing is bigger bullshit than the NBPP story, and I ought to know. I starred in another documentary about it called “The Audacity of Democracy.” http://www.amazon.com/Audacity-Democracy-Film-Brad-Special/dp/B001POGTMI
These people were abetted by Fox News for months, but couldn’t stand up to real questioning.

As for whether Holder would have dropped cases against the Knights Party, for example, I’m positive he would have. As I told Malik during our interview, the Knights are very practiced at staying on the right side of the law, rhetoric-wise. A bad case is a bad case.

Mission: Accomplished. In a search for a sequel to last year’s Summer of Angst over health care reform, the “manufactured menace” of a New Black Panther-controlled election has gripped California’s 27th District. In a video featured on Fox News earlier yesterday, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca) was asked about the case, to wild applause. The applause, however, turned to jeers at his assurance that the DOJ is not anti-white, and hysterical jeering when he said he didn’t know about the NBPP case. It’s gonna be a long summer.

Yeah. And it looks like the US Commission on Civil Rights is watching stupid Faux Nooz. July 14, 2010:

Given the extraordinary testimony of Mr. Adams, we request that the Department reconsider
its unwillingness to allow Mr. Coates to testify before the Commission. Mr. Coates’ testimony is
vital to our investigation because he is in the best position to corroborate, deny, or provide
additional information regarding the matters described by Mr. Adams. As far back as November
2009, the Commission served a subpoena on Mr. Coates, who in his capacity as former Chief of the
Voting Section and member of the New Black Panther Party trial team, appears to be a primary
witness on the matters addressed by our investigation. In fact, the Department has previously
allowed Mr. Coates to appear before the Commission in June 2008 regarding the Department’s
enforcement of laws against voter intimidation and voter fraud. We renew our request that the
Department cooperate with the Commission’s lawful subpoena and make Mr. Coates available to
testify. Please contact our General Counsel, David Blackwood, as to Mr. Coates’ availability by
July 21, 2010.

It is with great regret that I must alert you to evidence of the possible unequal administration
of justice in the Civil Rights Division. However, the Commission is charged under 42 U.S.C.
§1975a(a)(2) with pursuing such claims. It is a statutory responsibility the agency does not
undertake lightly. I sincerely hope you will pursue and investigate these charges and provide the
Commission with the witnesses it needs to complete its important work.

Buncha wingnuts, huh?

He claims he hadn’t seen it in any of the media sources he normally consumes. I believe him.

@Pablo: He really doesn’t look like a guy who gets a lot of television.
Based on nothing but superficiality, he strikes me as a reader.

Why isn’t Fox reporting this to the old Baggers??

On Election Day, Nov. 6, 2006 a posse of three men in Tucson, Ariz., proved that the Wild West still lives.A group, which was three strong, and allegedly composed of two anti-immigration activists, Russ Dove and Roy Warden, carried a camcorder, a clipboard — on which, they said, was information about a proposed law to…… make English the state’s official language — one with an Armed 9mm Glock automatic strapped to his side. While one man would approach a voter, holding the clipboard, another would follow, pointing the video camera at them. The third would stand behind, holding his hand to the gun at his hip in what activists on the other side called classic voter intimidation tactics in a precinct one local paper had previously declared the bellwether of the area’s Hispanic vote.
In that instance, the DOJ declined to bring any action for alleged voter intimidation, notwithstanding the requests of the complaining parties.

So are their CONSERVATIVE writers for Mediaite? You know to TRY to be balanaced?

Sure Tommy, I don’t understand why a grown man would use the name “tommy”, states he is Liberal…but are there any CONSERVATIVE writers at Mediaite?

If you believe in FAIRNESS.

Considering the U.S. population is 40% Conservative, and only 20% Liberal…so where are the Conservative writers for Mediaite? Also Independents make up 40% and are leaving Obama behind…so where is the balance? There should be 40% stories written by Conservatives and only 20% of the stories written by Liberals according to the U.S. population

Why is the MSM reporting that the Black Panther Party member who was standing in front of the voting place a CREDENTIALED DEMOCRATIC ward poll watcher?

I meant to write Why ISN’T the MSM reporting that Jerry Jackson, the New Black Panther Party member was a CREDENTIALED Democratic poll watcher?

Meaning that the New Black Panther party member was a SANCTIONED Democratic ward poll watcher.

Let’s see. It’s a 4 year old story, there’s apparently no video evidence and it’s missing the DOJ whistleblower. You should go over there and give ‘em what for, though. Stomp your feet and stuff.

Cue Hysterical so called “reporter Tommy Christopher to slander citizens with Leftist smears & outright bias!
