Clueless Washington journalist of the day: John Harwood

[DeclinetoState]

I guess this could go in Media Circus, as well, but it is political.

Liberal racism? What liberal racism? How clueless and out-of-touch is CNBC Washington chief correspondent and NYTimes writer John Harwood? This clueless (hat tip -Mark Finkelstein at Newsbusters (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/07/16/john-harwood-has-never-seen-cartoon)):

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Have you seen the political cartoons of Condoleeza Rice as a parrot with huge black lips? Have you seen the racist –

JOHN HARWOOD: There are cartoons of Barack Obama, too!

SCARBOROUGH: Oh really? With lips out to here? Exaggerated lips?

HARWOOD: No, with ears out to here. [Scarborough and Harwood can be seen illustrating their respective points in the screencap.]

SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, exactly. Ears are not seen, racists do not focus on ears when making fun of African-Americans.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: This is a point.

SCARBOROUGH: I will show you, the next time you’re on here, racist cartoons –

HARWOOD: From the left?

SCARBOROUGH: — of Condoleeza Rice. No, from mainstream people. Where nobody even brought it up. Nobody was even concerned. I’ll guarantee you Condoleeza Rice noticed.

HARWOOD: Show me that. I’ll be surprised to see that.

OK, here’s your assignment. John Harwood asked for it. Please help educate him. E-mail him a link to this blog post (or just use the handy ’send to a friend’ feature). His e-mail address is politicalcapital@cnbc.com.

I’m reprinting the images from my “Grow a pair, Obama (http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/14/grow-a-pair-obama/)” post right here–and including links to past posts on liberal racism and liberal racist imagery.

Much more here (http://www.democracy-project.com/archives/000763.html).

Where's he been holed up the last eight years? Good grief.

The left? No, "the left" no longer exists. They're now known as "mainstream people" - you know, "the center" - the majority. Only the small group on the fringe extreme right that doesn't treat the Democratic Party as their Church needs to be labeled in political terms. They're the abnormals.

That's why the Left have renamed themselves "Progressives"... The real Mainstream America learned what Liberals do to a nation, so the word "Liberal" earned a negative reputation...

Now they avoid the word Liberal like a plague, and they call themselves Progressive - What a clever term... The obvious implication being that anyone who doesn't agree with their revisionist, ever-evolving, ever-adjustable, no-fixed-standards philosophy is in fact "Regressive"...

For the Leftist, clever packaging designed to disguise their agenda of enslaving the masses is a key element... That involves re-defining themselves periodically for public consumption...

Yep. Wolf in sheep's clothes, and all that.
