HuffPo swings the anti-Trump hatchet

The Huffington Post shares with most mainstream media a knee-jerk negativity about Donald Trump's wildly popular campaign. Daily we see evidence of the political chasm between news media and the public. 

Ideology dictates that the MSM regularly churn out anti-Trump articles. And, utterly unencumbered by anything even approximating respectable journalistic ethics, dodgy scribes hie with slavering glee to their appointed dirty work.

This morning (12/15) brought the latest rickety example. Igor Bobic is the Huffington Post's Associate Politics Editor. His day's attempted hit on Trump was titled, "Donald Trump Rally Turns Ugly: 'Light the Motherf**ker On Fire!'

It followed the by-now tiresomely familiar MSM path: Ignore the thousands of banner-waving Trump supporters and focus only on the isolated troublemaker -- as if he were the entire proceeding.

Bobic's ill-carpentered slur-volley was subtitled, "A pattern emerges." And in that he is right, though not in the manner he intended.

The pattern?

1) A raggedy local oddball attaches himself to a throng-suffused Trump event. It's where the cameras are, after all, and said oddballs are likely not able to attract much notice otherwise. 

2) Disrupt the event (respecting others' free speech rights is not at all a concern). Flop onto the floor, claiming to have been mysteriously "shoved." Wail bumper sticker slogans. 

3) Shifty ink-stained wretches, or the laptop-era equivalent, will rush to proclaim as gospel any unverified charge the social justice misfit bellows, especially if it involves alleged violence or bigotry. (Long gone are the days in which journalists secured independent confirmation for stories before printing them.)

Smear cobbler Igor Bobic's Huffington Post bio notes that he was once in the employ of donkey billboard Talking Points Memo. For most lucid onlookers, that would be a manifest red flag. But Huffington Post muckety-mucks doubtless fancy it a sterling recommendation.

Josh Earnest's donkey-hoof-in-mouth moment

Jabs at Trump, but exposes Dems

Obama White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest on 12/8 snickered that Donald Trump's campaign "has had a dustbin-of-history quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair..."

The "fake hair" charge was long ago disproved, though that obviously matters not to small-charactered political axe-hefters.

In other circumstances, of course, liberals like Earnest decry observations about candidates' appearance. How many times have we heard commentators fulminate over judgements offered on women politicians' hairstyles and attire?

But when the subject is a member of the 'other team,' appearance derision is gleefully ladled. And the stunning ease with which someone like Earnest deploys otherwise condemned personal remarks indicates that such do not truly ever bother them, but are instead decried or availed depending on political need.

Besides, to be consistent, Democrats would now have to reject the support of any and all Americans wearing toupees, wigs, weaves, extensions, or dyes. (And to be painfully technical, isn't hair cutting and styling "fake?")

Does anyone recall Democrats ridiculing Joe Biden's hair plugs?

At a loss of words, Josh?

Two-faced Bernie astride the separatist donkey

Democrat Bernie Sanders, in recent criticism of Republican Donald Trump, said, "[D]emagogues throughout our history have attempted to divide us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or country of origin."

The Democrat National Committee website, Democrats.org,  lists 17 'identity' groups into which members are to segregate themselves: "African Americans, Americans with Disabilities, American Jewish Community, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Democrats Abroad, Ethnic Americans, Faith Community, Hispanics, LGBT Community, Native Americans, Rural Americans, Seniors and Retirees, Small Business Community, Union Members and Families, Veterans and Military Families, Women, Young People and Students."
