Philadelphia Inquirer Columnist Spreads Hate

Philadelphia Inquirer Columnist Spreads Hate — Annette John-Hall wrote in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer that “words matter” in trying to explain the Tucson shootings and then listed a litany of word crimes committed by opponents of President Obama and the Democrat Party.

Among the examples of hate she used were  calling the President “a liar, a socialist, a racist and an alien”.  It seems this sort of stuff became hate on Jan. 20, 2009. Must have missed that memo. It certainly wasn’t called “hate” before that. Then it was called patriotism.

In the next paragraph, however, she crosses the line from simple ninnyness to become a spreader of hate herself when she writes
It wasn’t Democrats who spit on members of Congress and called them vile names during the health-care debate.

Of the myriad of recording devices on the scene whether the expensive cameras of professional news crews or simple cell phones, not one managed to capture such a thing despite a $10,000 reward offer for each use of said vile name found. 

One wonders why Annette John Hall can’t see the irony of using an unfounded allegation to demean an entire group whose protest did not in the slightest involve a race issue.

Making things up to acquire power and destroy the innocent is certainly not a thing unknown to the self-proclaimed caring progressive .

  2. She’s from Berkley CA. Enough said???
    She’s taking quite a “shellacking” from the Inky readers. Got a kick out of their comments.


  3. In the same edition Left-Wing Liberal propagandist Tony Auth has a cartoon lampooning the tea party with a drawing of a tea pot spouting what he obviously feels are derogatory comments–“Don’t Retreat Reload!” “Where’s His Birth Certificate?!”

    He could have made it better by asking where’s Al Sharpton? Where are all the Hymies?” Where is Hymietown?”

    How about “They bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun.!”
