ABC Tries to Tie Health Care Town Hall Protesters to Hate Groups

Yet another case in point for Dr. Swain's indictment (see previous entry) of the Southern Poverty Law Center as the regime's weapon of choice to delegitimize dissent. And isn't it interesting how the corporate media makes its bias for Big Government painfully clear:

ABC News correspondent Brian Ross tried to connect the health care town hall protesters to hate groups on Friday’s GMA. Ross cited the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose left-wing political affiliation he omitted, and used two sound bites from the SPLC’s Mark Potok, who hyped that President Obama supposedly “triggered fears among...white people...that they are somehow losing their country.”

The ABC News correspondent led his report just after the beginning of the 7 am Eastern hour by underlining how it’s apparently been a “very ugly week as the rhetoric about the President and the threats against him have deeply worried the people who track this country’s hate groups.” After summarizing how police in Los Angeles arrested a man suffering from “mental problems” for making threats against the White House, and how the case is apparently part of a “disturbing pattern,” Ross played his first clip from Potok, who emphasized, “I don’t think that these are simply people who are mentally ill or...you know, kind of off their rockers. I think that...in a very real sense, they represent a genuine reaction- a genuine backlash against Obama.”

See? If you oppose socialism, you're just a racist. Now we in the League of the South have been targeted with that charge for some time. It's nice to have so many of our countrymen sharing the same boat with us.
