Steve Sailer points to a Dailer Caller piece which reviews the Journolist reaction (librage x 1000) to the news that Barack Obama's spiritual mentor was a crazed, white-hating racist kook:

Daily Caller:

Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”

Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

They're all class at Journolist. Journolist, by the way, was Juicebox Mafia Don Ezra Klein's racket, a way of elevating himself among liberal media eminences who might scratch his back in the future, and of course a way of playing noise machine politics and keeping independent thinkers from straying too far. You know, vastly independent thinkers like Clinton servant George Stephanopoulos.

And therein likes the depressing reality of the spectrum of views which can be discussed in the media--not just about race, but about anything. George Stephanopoulos has gone too far this time!

Find someone and call them racists, urged Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent (sic). But you already knew that's how it worked. Some stories the media just has no stomach for, and anything suggesting that Obama had some racial issues (which he after all wrote about in his memoirs) was off limits. YOU'RE THE ONE WITH ISSUES, PAL.

Maybe so--but the entire nation has been mentally ill when it comes to this subject--delusional, psychotic, anxiety-ridden, paranoid, persecutorial, crazy.

Daily Caller:

Thomas Schaller, a columnist for the Baltimore Sun as well as a political science professor, upped the ante from there. In a post with the subject header, “why don’t we use the power of this list to do something about the debate?” Schaller proposed coordinating a “smart statement expressing disgust” at the questions Gibson and Stephanopoulos had posed to Obama.

“It would create quite a stir, I bet, and be a warning against future behavior of the sort,” Schaller wrote.

Yes, the familiar "warning against future behavior", the purposeful debate-quashing that you get only from the most deeply disturbed partisan apparatchik--the Party functionary for whom anything is permissible if it is in service to the Party's transient ends (never its principles, which are mostly fake). Just what was so disgusting could not be articulated by the Journolist members, because they were and are in a state of derangement on the subject of race:

Daily Caller:

Hayes urged his colleagues – especially the straight news reporters who were charged with covering the campaign in a neutral way – to bury the Wright scandal. “I’m not saying we should all rush en masse to defend Wright. If you don’t think he’s worthy of defense, don’t defend him! What I’m saying is that there is no earthly reason to use our various platforms to discuss what about Wright we find objectionable,” Hayes said.

And so has the "discussion" about race always been conducted by those on the left. Silence--no snitching--in the face of open hatemongering that emerges from protected minority classes--blacks, Mexicans--with comically over-the-top bully boy threats to enemies of liberal high-mindedness:

Spencer Ackerman:

I do not endorse a Popular Front, nor do I think you need to. It’s not necessary to jump to Wright-qua-Wright’s defense. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically.

The tell is Ackerman's needy obsession with violent metaphor and revenge fantasy. The childish rage of the apparatchik always eclipses whatever offense he claims to be fuming about. It needs to live in a state of constant fear--these are not the words of a well man. Ackerman's roid rage indicates a deeply damaged individual, but cheer up--he's only one of the people in control of this country's discourse.

This is the answer to those who feel that liberals will "wake up" on the subject of race. As the racial spoils system they administer results in more and more outbursts, liberals will only turn to overdose levels of doublethink. Consider the black audience's chuckling reaction at an NAACP event when Shirley Sherrod blithely mentioned sticking it to some white farmer who condescended her, and how the media has worked aggressively to spin it as a bizarre form of racial reconciliation. Expect much more in this vein, particularly as black and Mexican race men become more confident in directly assaulting the shrinking white majority and seizing their property. Obviously I mean this rhetorically.

I kept noticing a pattern in the last names of the journalists on the JournoList, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

In other Jews...

Is there a Jew alive who won't defend Roman Polanski's right to drug and rape young girls? Okay, more seriously of course there are probably many rightish Jews who would not, just as there are plenty of non-Jews in Hollywood who sob at the injustice done to this demented midget, but the only people who seem to care enough to write tons of articles on the subject are Polanski's tribe.

An indigent public defender client with no sex offense record would most likely not have been sent to prison on an underage sex conviction plea in 1978. Need I say that an award-winning Hollywood director—who barely escaped the Holocaust and whose pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was slain in the Hollywood Hills by the Manson family—is far from the profile of a defendant who would have been sent to prison in 1978 for the crime of statutory rape?

lol at the get-out-of-concentration-camp-free card played here...GUYS IT'S NO BIG DEAL HE'S A SURVIVOR

[PLEASUREMAN]

TNR had a piece responding to this that amounted to "LOOK WE SOMETIMES ARGUE OVER HOW HIGH TO SET THE VOLUME ON THE NOISE MACHINE, SHEESH GIVE US A BREAK THERE IS NO LIBERAL CONSPIRACY"

lol I wonder how many emails went back and forth while this piece was written

in fairness there are conservatives who love to recite propaganda, just visit Hot Air or read the Corner, but the difference is that they don't have highly influential positions in news orgs dominated by liberal frames (cue accusations that no one took Ackerman up on his libel strategy, therefore no problem!)

[HopeAndChange44]

DC has a couple of pieces on this. Who knows how much good stuff is in there, if indeed they have the whole archive. Of course none of this is really surprising to anyone, but it might disrupt the charade of objectivity and cost a few people their jobs or at least their credibility. And as someone wrote at Hot Air, it gives disillusioned Obama voters a great out: "The media tricked me!"

MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I’m looking across the street at my polling place, and the line is wrapped around the block. I nearly burst into tears when I saw it. I’m feeling like today is closing the door on a terrible era, and opening another. I’m glad you started this thread because I was feeling kind of like I was the only one who is deeply emotional today.

ALYSSA ROSENBERG, GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE: A lot of horribly ugly stuff got repudiated tonight. But it doesn’t end here. We need to keep making the case to the folks who disagreed with us, the folks who booed McCain during his concession speech tonight.

HENRY FARRELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: I had to close my office door yesterday because I was watching YouTube videos of elderly African Americans saying what this meant to them and tearing up.

JOSH BEARMAN, LA WEEKLY: 11 months ago I burst into tears by myself on a plane while watching Hardball when my mind wandered to the image of President Obama being sworn in. I’ve been fighting it ever since.

MICHAEL HIRSH, NEWSWEEK: so many of you still seem tied down to your old ideological moorings. on the early evidence obama is not similarly tied down on any level, whether diplomatically or economically (or politically: note his big-tent approach to joe lieberman). a post-ideological presidency — what a novelty, and what a relief! but this new obamian world view, i fear, also puts many of you who are part of this group in danger of imminent irrelevance. cheers, mike hirsh

LAURA ROZEN: People we no longer have to listen to: would it be unwise to start a thread of people we are grateful we no longer have to listen to? If not, I’ll start off: Michael Rubin.

MICHAEL COHEN, NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION: Mark Penn and Bob Shrum. Anyone who uses the expression “Real America.” We should send there ass to Gitmo!

SPENCER ACKERMAN: Let’s just throw Ledeen against a wall. Or, pace Dr. Alterman, throw him through a plate glass window. I’ll bet a little spot of violence would shut him right the fuck up, as with most bullies. (Rhetorically, of course)

ERIC ALTERMAN, AUTHOR, WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA: Fucking Nascar retards…

On Fox News: http://dailycaller.c...-down-fox-news/

Quote

“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.”

“They want a deficit driven militarist/heterosexist(LOL)/herrenvolk state,” Yeselson wrote.

“You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone (anyone else, he no doubt means) starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp. Now that it’s getting violent? (What??) Reminds me of the Beer Hall fracases of the 1920s.”

Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment. In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”

“I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?”

John Judis, a senior editor at the New Republic, came down on Zasloff’s side, the side of censorship. “Pre-Fox,” he wrote, “I’d say Scherer’s questions made sense as a question of principle. Now it is only tactical.”

Some other Jews have apparently resurrected the list. It only has about half as many members, though. I suspect they excluded the goyim this time.

[PLEASUREMAN]

Notice that liberals felt they needed a Journolist because openly discussing liberal ideas seemed like SUCH A BAD IDEA.

[HopeAndChange44]

"herrenvolk"

The master race (German: die Herrenrasse, das Herrenvolk) was a concept adopted as Nazi ideology in which the Nordic peoples, one of the branches of what in the late-19th and early-20th century was called the Aryan race, represent an ideal and "pure race" that was the purest representation of the original racial stock of those who were then called the Proto-Aryans, themselves believed by the Nazis to have prehistorically dwelt on the North German Plain and ultimately to have originated from Atlantis. The Nazis declared that the Nordics were the true Aryans because they were less mixed with other races than other people of what were then called the Aryan peoples (now generally called the Indo-European peoples), such as the Slavic peoples (only the minority who mixed with the Mongols and the Jewish Khazars), the Romance peoples (mixed with the Semites and the Moors), the Iranian peoples (mixed with the Arabs and the Mongols), and the Indo-Aryans (mixed with the Dravidians). Because of their superior leadership qualities, the Nazis declared, the Nordic Aryans were entitled to world domination. This concept is called Nordicism.

[HopeAndChange44]

I don't know what's more amazing, that they think the Tea Parties are Nordicist or that they have somehow come to believe their own lies about Tea Party violence? These people seem to have trouble distinguishing between reality and their paranoid nightmares. Are they just stoking each other up or do they honestly, soberly believe this stuff? Seems there wouldn't be much reason to lie like this on a presumably private mailing list.

This will never happen. Have you seen what liberal men look like? I dont think its a false stereotype that liberal men are typically limp wristed low testosterone pussies irl. I think lacking testosterone actually causes behaviors and beliefs typical of liberals.

Being a leftist means you're fundamentally weak, and OK with it.

You guys should check out some episodes of wife swap. My girl loves that show and tivos them all. The best are the ones where there is an ultra liberal faggot family switched with a super hardcore conservative one. The one with the cowboy rancher family vs the astrology family was so fucking good. Ive learned that every liberal male sounds like snarf from the thundercats.

They sure seem to cry a lot. Also lolling at "Obamian world view"... what's the disillusionment like when you find out you were hero-worshipping a mediocrity?
