Remember when Dr. Laura repeatedly said the “n-word” on-air and was forced to quit? The media howled, the NAACP howled, Al Sharpton howled. The entire democrat media complex was up in arms. It’s simply unacceptable to use that kind of language if you’re white.

Or is it?

Here’s Bill Maher on Larry King dropping the word as casually as Jay-Z. If you start hearing a loud roar after the clip it’s the deafening sound of silence from the media.

To be honest, I wouldn’t even be highlighting this under normal circumstances because I don’t think it really matters. I’m not trying to be the word police. But what makes this story important is the blatant double standard. A leftist can say racially insensitive things all day long and nobody says a word. Meanwhile, a conservative can something completely innocuous and he/she is accused of using “code words” — which is the accusation Maher is making.

N-Words aside, it’s laughable that the far left is still trotting out this code word bullshit. Nobody is buying into it. If they were Tea Party candidates wouldn’t be kicking ass all over America.

The only people who are obsessed with Barack Obama’s race are Democrats. They can’t stop thinking about it and talking about it. When I look at Barack Obama I see our president. When Democrats look at him they see the first black president.

Speaking of race, this seems like a fine opportunity to plug the article I just wrote for Examiner.com about the “Diverse Tea” campaign that FreedomWorks recently launched.

The media’s reaction to the health care protests has been so hypocritical at times, I actually get light headed. The putrid stench of hypocrisy is hanging like a thick cloud over every newsroom in America — with the exception of Fox and a few others.

Besides 9/11, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the Bush years is protests. You couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing some hippie puke bellowing about the Iraq war or calling Bush a terrorist or war criminal. In fact, I can remember violent, ugly demonstrations that went light years beyond anything we’ve seen thus far over health care.

Bill Sammon has a great piece on FoxNews.com that should help jog the memory about just how scary things actually got during the Bush years — and what the media didn’t say about it:

News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama’s town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric — and even violence — of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.

When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.

One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush’s assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.

"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."

Another poster showed Bush’s face with the words: "F— YOU, MOTHERF—ER!"

A third sign urged motorists to "HONK IF YOU HATE BUSH." A fourth declared: "CHRISTIAN FASCISM," with a swastika in place of the letter S in each word.

Although reporters from numerous national news organizations were traveling with Bush and witnessed the protest, none reported that protesters were shrieking at Republican donors epithets like "Slut!" "Whore!" and "Fascists!"

Frank Dulcich, president and CEO of Pacific Seafood Group, had a cup of liquid thrown into his face, and then was surrounded by a group of menacing protesters, including several who wore masks. Donald Tykeson, 75, who had multiple sclerosis and was confined to a wheelchair, was blocked by a thug who threatened him.

No matter how dangerous or extreme the protests got, the media either didn’t report it or downplayed it. You never read headlines about “Angry Mobs” or “Political Terrorists” or anything even remotely close. The media preferred to call them “Activists.”

We all know the mainstream media is liberal as hell and didn’t report honestly on the Bush protests because they agreed with them. I get that, it’s no surprise.

What really chaps my ass is how the media treats the public like a bunch of brain dead jerks who can’t remember from one year to the next.

It’s just so sickeningly phony for the media to feign shock and horror over a few cranky senior citizens upset over health care, when they sat back and said nothing during eight years of the most extreme protesting since the Vietnam war.

I’m not even asking for the media to change, I’m just asking for an acknowledgement of the hypocrisy.
