Brent Bozell writes a good piece about the former Attorney General (under Democrat L.B.J.) Ramsey Clarke and the conspicuous absence of media attention he’s getting now that he’s representing Saddam Hussein and was at an anti-Bush rally during Bush’s inauguration.
Turning reality upside down is easy when you live in the world of people like actress Janeane Garofalo, who proclaimed on MSNBC just hours after the inauguration festivities: “George W. Bush is unelectable, in my opinion.” This isn’t dissent. It’s beyond denial. Welcome to liberal dementia.
Like so many other journalists in the pre-inauguration buildup, Washington Post reporter Manny Fernandez filed several stories on bitter inauguration protesters. And like the vast majority of his colleagues, Fernandez chose not to give his readers the slightest clue just how kooky the “protest community” was. (Perhaps because these paragons of journalism don’t find these nuts to be that strange after all.) In one story, it took until paragraph 16 for Fernandez to admit any ideology: “Bush has been a popular target for left-leaning activists since he took office.”
“Left-leaning” is hardly an accurate description for the exotic socialists like International ANSWER, described by the Post as simply “an anti-war, anti-racism coalition.” Their call to protest the inauguration wildly stated our president “is determined to maintain U.S. occupation and aggression against Cuba, Haiti, Afghanistan, Korea, the Philippines, Sudan, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries.” (Somehow, at least on Planet ANSWER, we have ruthlessly ousted Fidel Castro and taken over Cuba.) The Post story excluded the itty-bitty fact that the coalition’s leader, Ramsey Clark, signed up on Dec. 29 as part of the legal defense team for Saddam Hussein.
