It's been 48 hours since two white, straight TV news people were shot dead at point-blank range during a live-shot, and another woman injured, by a black, homsexual, racial-hate-espousing man who later killed himself, after sending a rambling, 23-page fax of grievances to ABC News.
Strangely, two things have not happened since that incident in Virginia:
- Other than to have his White House spokesman blame the attack on the Second Amendment, Barack Obama hasn't said a word about this crystal clear example of what he would call a "hate crime" – one that is racially motivated and partly motivated by grievances related to "sexual identity" issues.
- Despite the attack overshadowing all other stories in the national media, ABC News has not released the entirety of shooter Vester Lee Flanagan's manifesto sent only to that one news agency.
May I pose a few questions about these omissions:
Why do you suppose Barack Obama was so quick to jump to conclusions about potential racial motivations behind the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, when there were none, and so slow to do so in the case of Vester Lee Flanagan, where they are documented by the attacker himself?
Do I need to explain the difference?
The man who killed Michael Brown was a white police officer acting in self-defense. Any potential for him to continue his career path as a law enforcement officer was doomed by the actions of Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, who sent a legion of investigators to Ferguson to see that justice was done. At the end of the day, Holder was reluctantly forced by the facts on the ground to conclude the white police officer acted justifiably under the circumstances.
Meanwhile, the man who killed reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward was a gay, black man who let the entire world know the motivations for his cold-blooded murders – racial hatred and a vague contention that he had been offended by something his two former colleagues said or did with regard to his identification as "gay."
Here we have two stark contrasts in cases of shootings involving whites and blacks. There are, of course, hundreds of examples like these. But I am first and mainly interested in suggesting that Obama's view of such violence is racist.
He very clearly wants to find examples of white-on-black gun violence to exploit them for political gain.
He very clearly is not interested in finding examples of black-on-white gun violence that is, without question, motivated by racial hatred. It doesn't fit into his political narrative.
What do YOU think? Sound off in today's WND Poll: Why is Obama silent on TV news murders?
Of course, if a straight person murdered in cold blood two homosexuals and put out a manifesto explaining the killings were, in part, motivated by grievances against homosexuals based on their sexual identity, is there any question Obama would be all over the incident – condemning it, using it to make his case for special rights based on sexual identity and new hate-crime laws?
Realistically, everyone must admit in their hearts and minds that Obama has a double-standard here as big as his appetite for demonization of his political adversaries.
It is prima facie evidence that Obama is not interested in equal justice under the law. To Obama, some people are more equal than others – especially if they are black or "gay."
Alison Parker and Adam Ward weren't the right color. They were just gunned down because they were white heterosexuals – not members of protected minority groups. The shooter was, so no comment is needed here.
And what about ABC's notable decision not to release publicly the full text of Vester Lee Flanagan's hate-tinged manifesto?
Why is that? Isn't the fax they received directly from the assailant a news goldmine for the network? Why is ABC holding back?
Could it be there is much, much more in that message that doesn't fit into ABC's worldview and narrative? Are there other connections and admissions Flanagan made in that message that would "hurt the cause of political correctness" that reigns supreme in the newsrooms of the elite establishment media?
I just wonder.
Obama: Do you have nothing to say about the tragic murders in Virginia besides having your government-paid mouthpieces blame guns?
ABC: You've selectively released a few morsels from the manifesto. Where's the beef? What are you hiding?
