Highlights, lowlights, links, and slight incredulity at what race issues the media deems worthy of followup, from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream:
Seth Mandel goes for the layup on WaPo’s desperate excuses for their desperate “Perry is racist” campaign http://t.co/4mtsjjn
In fairness, given bipartisan unanimity in Texas that Perry doesn’t associate with racists, robust multi-day WaPo followup very reasonable
Half a decade of “vetting” Obama yet MSM never got wind of Shabazz march? http://t.co/WkMaAxl7 But lets find that racist Perry rock!
Has Perry considered telling ppl that he attended sermons for 20 years next to painted-over racist rock? That should get MSM off his back.
They’re reporting these as in-kind contributions right? | RT @ByronYork: WaPo runs third-day Perry ‘N-head’ story http://ow.ly/6MwKB
AP factcheck corrects Perry on “Errors by admin encouraged Pal’s to take backward steps from peace.” Pretty sure that’s consensus
RT @thegoldfarb: Says guy who’d expel all Jews and gays from Palestinian state | RT @joshrogin: PLO official: Perry is a “racist” http://t.co/6vjcbGDw
Good thing WaPo is investigating Perry racism story. Otherwise candidate with shady race-baiting associates might slip thru MSM unvetted.
