Kinda overblown

Posted in:

Illinois
YouTube

* ZOMG…

* The perpetually hyper master of the Internet hyperlinks to a YouTube video as proof…

* OK, one of the main participants in that video is Paul McKinley, who got 4 percent of the vote in Chicago running as a Republican against Robin Kelley during the 2013 special election.

Another is Harold “Noonie” Ward, who ran unsuccessfully for MWRD in 2012 and once claimed that the city and state governments “allow” Mexican drug cartels to distribute drugs in Chicago.

Another is Mark Carter, who appeared in yet another of these “Rebel Pundit” videos last January saying the president should resign.

In other words, this isn’t new. Many of the same folks did mainly the same video back in January. Why this is all of a sudden “news” is known only to the meltdown king and, perhaps, CBS 2…

Long considered stalwarts for Democratic candidates in Illinois, are African Americans now turning on the party?

GOP Governor candidate Bruce Rauner is touting his support among influential black pastors in Chicago–including Corey Brooks and James Meeks–against Democrat Pat Quinn.

Now a video on You Tube appears to illustrate growing anger with Democrats at the state, local and national levels.

What is what they are saying NOT true?

I used to think Drudge was merely a closet racist, now he is in the great wide open.

Why would anyone take this seriously? Oh yah, its Drudge. Sensationalism at its best…

Race is so hilariously sad in this country. Four African Americans saying something must mean all African Americans think that way, right?? LOL. Please.

Rush did a rant about this today as if these were someone other than paid endorsers
The air head filling the Roe & Roper time slot did the same

Drudge? Yeah, that’s who I get all of my information from. It’s the hyper-partisan speaking to the hyper-partisan.

Dear CBS:

The existence of a YouTube video is NOT NEWS. Period. Please try again.

CBS 2’s “journalism” is appalling. By all means take what some political hack sends your way and report it as the gospel truth. It seems that is what too many of our so called journalists do today. I am thankful to have found Capitol Fax and some independent thought.

The nay-sayers who are dismissing this are whistling as they pass the grave yard. Dissing the messengers (Drudge, Rush) is typical. Saying that the men in the video are not credible? Why? Cause they ran as outsiders for elected office? I dunno, but I’d keep an eye on this trend.

I got a mailer today (didn’t even make it into my house before being pitched)saying Pat Quinn has a NEW plan to raise my taxes. Sigh.

These men allege that “black on black” crime in Detroit caused the water shutoffs. Detroit has a white mayor who has a white exec. dir. running Dept of Water. They say blacks are worse off and other groups are better off. Black to white unemployment ratio is at 2:1 lower than Reagan, Clinton or Bush.

Kinda???

Living in Machiaville @ 3:55: Thanks for the laugh! I saw your comment just after you posted and only now caught my breath from all the guffawing.

The only “trend” to this “story” is Drudge to Limbaugh to Fox “News” to the rest of the Washington press corps. In other words, the right wing noise machine at work.

That Channel 2 fell for this is a sad commentary on how far that newsroom has fallen.

Desperate last gasp effort by Republicons. We’ll see after Tuesday.

Charles Thomas will interview Maze Jackson in 3,2,1…

Comment by Mazejack Tuesday, Oct 28, 14 @ 10:54 pm
The story is posted on Drudge because Rauner is buying up blanket ad space on the site and this black/voter fraud story teaming supports his narrative.
