1 No shit?  ABC is such a cesspit of garbage.  Can't they just, you know, continue to embargo facts that are inconvenient to their political beliefs rather than make up news that supports them?

2 I'm sure more people will see this post then will watch ABCNews or PrimeTimeLive

3 I stopped watching ABC "news" shows in prime time.  20/20 was good when they had John Stossel, but he actually dug into things and made fun of the libtard causes like global warming, etc.  So, he's now on Fox, and 20/20 has degenerated into rerunning bad Court TV episodes just like NBC's Dateline.

This John Quinones crap with his "What Would You Do?" was interesting when it started, but they've run out of stuff and now it's just stupid.

4 Stuff like this makes me want to paint a big bulls-eye on the wall with the inscription "BANG HEAD HERE" above it.

5 ABC making the news that's fit to fake.

6 We will win only when we stop being afraid of the word "profiling".

7 Is PrimeTime Live the same show that did the gay baiting sting?

8 Oh, and at least Candid Camera was funny...

9 The State Media's goal is to attack conservatives and conservative positions, so why should this come as a surprise?

10 Journalistic integrity? Never heard of it.

11 I can't watch it.  Were the Mexican-looking people customers or employees of the restaurant?? of course she wouldn't want to bust them. 

12 Yes, the woman is guilty of racial profiling. But the producers are guilty of profiling her as a racist profiler, and profiling the Mexicans as potential illegals. And profiling their audience as potentially having no brains (which actually turns out to be true).

13 The ones who are knee-deep in racial profiling of illegals are groups like La Raza and the leftists.  They immediately call all actions against illegal aliens "anti-hispanic", when illegals come in all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities.  You say anything about illegals to a leftist and they immediately start ranting about hispanics, because they racially profile.  But no one ever really points this out.

That said, the easiest way to detect Americans and possible illegals is through language, which is one of the deepest parts of ones personality.  People who don't speak English as their mother tongue are clearly most likely to not be American.  Sure, naturalized Americans fall into this category, but it's clear from their non-native English that they most likely weren't raised in America. This is why immigrants of old used to be embarrassed by their accents or broken English and proud that their kids spoke like Americans.  But, even given this common sense method of superficial identification, leftists get all up in arms if language is used to measure anything.

All of recorded history and common sense that covers the whole world means nothing to the left.  In fact, they work to try and deny it all.

14 Oh, and thinking about it, the MSM is rather the left's equivalent of the tea party movement.

When the Democrats sort of fell apart in 2002-5 the MSM became the real opposition party. It forced the Democrats back to leftwing basics, and gave them a platform.

15

Political correctness is killing this nation.

16 Fuc'n NASCAR retards.

17 ABC, funny. I have cable. I never watch Network news or entertainment. If I get a need to be lied to I just turn on the Hitler channel and watch for awhile. Never fails to remind me of the Democratic party. The only difference is that the NAZI's had snappy uniforms and were competent. ABC - funny.

18 Between NBC, CBS, and ABC News, ABC News is the news org that does the most the hide their liberalism... and then surprise skull sex you with it...

19

It's a television show, Ace. Viewers are supposed to feel gratified in some way for having watched it.

"People are racist. I saw it on that news show. But I'm not. I would've done the right thing. Thank you, ABCNews, for reaffirming that I'm a good person."

Or something.

6 We will win only when we stop being afraid of the word "profiling".

Better yet, how about we stop being afraid of the word "prejudiced"?  If someone takes the trouble to dress up as a gangbanger, they shouldn't be surprised to be treated like one.  And if someone is obviously lying to me, it's not my problem to prove that they are.  It's their problem to prove that they aren't.

21 About 1/3 of the legal residents of Arizona are Hispanic in origin. We'd hear more about this but of course it doesn't fit the narrative of racist white people rounding up everyone with dark skin and deporting them.

22 IOW, more fake gas tank exploding trucks news. You can not believe a damn thing they have on the news anymore. They are all lying cockholsters.

Remember that when they are reporting on some conservative they want you to hate and trying to push their own favorite candidate.

23 Remember also that it was ABC who cut and paste answers between questions in the infamous Palin interview of 2008.

24 symptom of the liberal psychosis is that the rules don't apply to liberals and the rules will be cruelly manipulated to be harshly applied to conservatives. Thanks to a mixture of white guilt and wink wink nudge nudge that naturally illegal aliens are naturally democrat voters, they get the benefit of no law application. This reminds me of the CNN reporter who, on election day 2008, said that's great to the guy who said he had already voted 3 times.

25 Netflix. I think it's the answer.

Did you know that you can have TV shows and movies streamed instantly to your TV from Netflix? I didn't.

I bought a Streaming DVD player a few months ago and I haven't watched even 15 minutes of "Television" since. Don't miss it a bit.

The easiest way to shut these fools up is "Just Don't Watch" - and obviously don't write a bunch of posts complaining about them - that just emboldens them as they figure you must be watching.

26 A couple of threads ago we were talking about rounding up journalists. 

27 I didn't even know this show was still on.  Then again, I don't watch tv that much anymore.  Next week I think I'll just cancel the service altogether.

28

Oh, and under Arizona law, the Security Guard did NOT have any legal reason to ask for ID... no probable cause, and it was not during any other type of law enforcement stop.

Police, cannot do this... a private security Guard?? Lawsuit city.

Thus, the whole story is a misrepresentation of the Law.

29

So trying to get average people to support someone in uniform doing something that is against the law, and failing, proves exactly what again?

I think it proves that Assholes Broadcasting Crap needs to brush up on their "DNC Notes" version of Goebbel's "Agitprop 101".  Or ask Barky for a reference to a good consultant - someone who just left his staff perhaps.

30 OT: The amount to be put forward for the CR on the budget is apparently $74bil.


WASHINGTON – House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (WI-01) today announced spending limits for the remainder of the current fiscal year, a significant step forward to cut government spending and help spur economic growth and job creation.  The measure will bring non-security discretionary spending back to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels, as House Republicans called for in their Pledge to America.  For the remainder of the current fiscal year, the measure will save $74 billion relative to President ObamaÂ’s budget request.

31 A year or so back, I had the opportunity to watch CNN in a restaurant with the sound off. What struck me was not the stories there were presenting but the order, the importance and the omitted stories/facts.

It is propaganda for a worldview, and it is quite good. I mean, how good is our propaganda when some 20-25% of the population believes the MBM slants right?

32 Oh, and what do you expect from the All Barack Channel?
Remember, they gave a 1/2 hour to Lord and King to promote his health care and refused to allow any groups opposed to even BUY their own airtime?

33

There was a former "conservative" blogger I used to read that actually claimed in a post that the only reason we were so against illegal immigration is that they were brown skinned and didn't speak english. 

My head toady and dicklicker Killgore has conclusively proved that you wingnuts are all racists by posting racist comments on HotAir in the middle of the night.  So shut up.  And check out my fine selection of trousers and bike seat photos on your way out. 

34 I used to watch DDR-TV / Rundfunk in the 80s  ( in West Berlin )

East German TV and radio .  Their propaganda messages infiltrated all of the programming, including 3-hour boring dramas about life and love, etc

our MFM is essentially the same

35 31 ETA: That's $74bil discretionary, $16bil defense

I watch Robin Meade in the morning with the sound off all the time.  What's unusual about that???

37 No a different former conservative blogger.  If it was little gay footballs I would have said it.

AnkleBitingPundits?  I recall him being something of a squish on immigration.

38 Pretty much everyone on the MFM news is white. Think they use racial profiling when hiring?

39 Your mistake was taking people at their word when they said they objected to profiling per se. Any tool, method, implement, or what have you, which helps to achieve the goal of deporting illegal immigrants, will be challenged and objected to.

40 Jesus wept.  The world is chock-full o' nuts.

41 So ABC didn't learn a fucking thing from their Food Lion adventures when Diane Scruntyer set up a sting by planting union humps to falsify bullshit and got caught.  They got their worthless asses spanked in court initially; moonbats will to to Wiki and claim that ABC won on appeal not realizing that a regional grocery chain has no interest in pursuing this further than an initial verdict after which they just want it to fucking go away.  Scruntyer should've had her bleached skeezer ass canned for that but I'm sure the skills which endeared her to management prior to that episode were employed in earnest.  So fuck those dumbasses.

42 But, um, didn't she just racially profile herself? Her belief was that they were illegals...

You just went right over the producers heads with that sharp, actually just blunt, display of logic.

43 The real racial profiling was of the white cop.

Who's rotten actor, btw.

44 Hasn't ABC done this sting thing several times? And haven't they embarrassed themselves everytime?

45 Isn't impersonating a policeman itself a crime?  I guess we should be happy that they didn't blow up a truck this time.

46 Boy, is that ever stupid. None of them were Moslems praying!

47 I didn't know that the Arizona law had empowered mall cops to determine immigration status and initiate deportation proceedings.  My, the things you can learn from watching tv are ...staggering.

48 I was told that Feb. is Black History Month..I asked my progressive black friend why we do not have a white history month? He said that the other 11 months celebrate white history.

49 He said that the other 11 months celebrate white history.

Posted by: Meg Mass at February 03, 2011 01:59 PM (f4Ndo)

"Celebrate"?  I don't think that word means what he thinks it means.

50

You know what bothers me?  Why don't we generally know the name of the first American slave?

Wouldn't that be important to the Black History Month people?

His name was John Casor.  I mean, wouldn't this be an important person's name to know what with the legacy of slavery and all?

51 "Harry's Law" is the latest spew from NBC. Kathy Bates stars in a show whose main purpose is actually to bash conservatives dressed up as entertainment... and to pretend there's a such thing as a liberal "moderate" - she's a pistol packin' defense attorney who cares about "the little people" (read: poor people who are driven by evil society to commit crimes).

The producers David E. Kelley says the show (paraphrased) is about "the disparity of wealth in this country between the haves and the have nots". Last week there was a lecture about all the rotten people (60%) who don't like "healthcare".

Funny thing: lawyers seem to get pretty rich off of advocating for the have nots.

53

Prime Time Live is still on?

I remember when SNL (Jon Lovitz playing Sam Donaldson) made fun of it when it first appeared in the '80s.

54 I made it through one episode of "Harry's Law" and said fuck that shit.

David Kelley and Kathy Bates don't seem to be so hot to give away much of their money.  They could live well on $100,000/year and give the rest (and all of their wealth) to some of the little people.  But they would never even think to give a modest amount of charity, let alone serious stripping themselves of their wealth (which they could make back in a second, anyway).  Selfish liberals project and assume that everyone else is as selfish and self-absorbed as they are.

Liberals only give charity when there's a camera recording it.  They think that singing "We Are The World" (which was a crappy song, anyway) constitutes some sort of charitable action - they're giving their time and talent ... LOL.

This is why the left are nothing but despicable, lying scumbags who set out to destroy any society unlucky enough to be burdened with their existence.

56 His name was John Casor.

We know him today as John Casor Mellencamp.

57 NBC tried something like this once with Arab looking people at a NASCAR race. I think they were rather disappointed, no one seemed to notice them at all. "The idea was to let loose some Middle Eastern-looking people dressed up like Arabs at a race, then secretly film as the bigoted gap-toothed Neanderthals MSM elitists regard normal Americans to be act rudely toward them." http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2006/04/nbcs_nascar_sti.html

I think Weird Al skewered that (albeit years later) with "Don't Download This Song"

A couple of threads ago we were talking about rounding up journalists.

Good idea.  Rather than saying 57 ABC journalists took part in this TV expose' we'll say *100 ABC journalists produced this sizzling expose'.

The first person in the colonies to be legally considered to be the permanent personal property of another person.  There was indentured servitude, but that expired after a few years.

So I'm guessing that the first slaves' name is known, but somehow his owner isn't quite recognized during Black History Month.

That about right?

Not the first slave, but the first one ruled as a "permanent slave".

Neither of them is mentioned much.  The owner was Anthony Johnson.  He was brought to Virginia via the slave trade but there was no slavery in Virginia so he was an indentured servant.  Johnson got his freedom, started his own farm and brought his own indentured servant, Casor.

When Casor wanted to be free after a few years to work for a white farmer, arguing that his indenture was up, Johnson said no and argued in court that Virginia had no right to tell Johnson, an Angolan, that he couldn't have a slave because slavery was part of his cultural heritage.  (I'm strongly paraphrasing here.)  The court agreed and Virginia had its first slave.

74 Not the first slave, but the first one ruled as a "permanent slave".

Posted by: Vic at February 03, 2011 02:55 PM (M9Ie6)

Yes.  Indentured servants were sometimes brought by the slave trade and were sometimes Europeans who used it to pay for passage to the new world.

There is a real gulf between temporary "slavery" and permanent slavery, though.  One, your children were free and two, you weren't likely to be abused because in a few years, you'd be a free person.

75

But still...The first real, or perpetual slave in the Colonies, was owned by a black man?

Guys...

I don't have the words.

 

76

If ABC doesn't run made up stories to promote the liberal agenda, who will? Oh yeah, all the rest of the MFM

77

I like legal drama TV shows most of the time. It's sad that several of those that had the potential to be among the best were bastardized by their producers so as to produce left wing propaganda again and again. As a conservative you find yourself dreading the moment in the show when the characters devolve into liberal hacks. I had to give up The Practice and Boston Legal as two examples because I could not stand having the most sophmoric liberal talking points hammered at me, episode after episode.

I was going to try Harry's Law, but after hearing the reviews here and elsewhere, I refuse to even go there.
