Washington Post: BUSTED

If anyone has doubted the liberal bias of The Washington Post, those doubts can be put to rest.

For TWO DAYS, The Post has kept George Allen's infamous "Macaca" comment on the
front page.

That's big stuff in The Post's world.

The lib media are still clueless. Their attempt to assassinate Allen's character will fail.

They no longer have a stranglehold on the dissemination of information. There are alternative sources of media to expose the bias.

If the lib media outlets are going to get bent out of shape over Allen's comment, they will have to address the "racist" comments made by others.



HILLARY CLINTON: "I love this quote from Mahatma Gandhi - who ran a gas station down in St. Louis for a couple of years. Mr. Gandhi - do you still go down to the gas station? A lot of wisdom comes out of that gas station."

ROBERT BYRD: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

JOE BIDEN: "You cannot go into a Dunkin Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."

JOHN McCAIN: "I'll call right now my interrogator that tortured me and my friends a gook. You can quote me.

"Anybody that does not believe that these interrogators and these prison guards were not cruel and sadistic people that deserve worse appellations than 'gooks,' they received appellations that were four-letter words."

JESSE JACKSON: In a 1984 private conversation with Milton Coleman and other journalists, Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown."

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: "And the Christian right, with your blindness to that wicked state of Israel ... can that be the holy land, and you have gay parades, and want to permit to have a gay parade in Jerusalem when no prophet ever sanctioned that behavior. How can that be the Israel, how can that be Jerusalem with secular people running the holy land when it should be the holy people running the holy land. That land is gonna be cleansed with blood."

CHRIS MATTHEWS:" Lieberman of course is the schmaltzy ethnic guy, the Uncle Tonoose, you know, the guy that's very much kind of lachrymose in his almost postnasal drip voice of his, but he doesn't look happy."

AL SHARPTON: "Don't just talk about the jeweler [whose store was burned] on Utica. Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here."


These are just a few, let's say "insensitive," remarks uttered by public figures. The list is endless.

If The Post is fair and balanced, it should run these quotes along with Allen's "macaca" comment.

It should run a piece on the pervasiveness of racial, ethnic, and religious slurs, stating that "foot-in-mouth disease" is not just a Republican thing.

In June of this year,
The Post ran a tribute to Robert Byrd.

It made a passing reference to Byrd's Ku Klux Klan days, but quickly dismissed it as a young man's folly with Byrd calling it "the greatest mistake of my life."

Not surprisingly, The Post failed to mention Byrd's March 2001 "white nigger" comment.
