Media Hypocrisy Reigns at Beck Rally

The MSM could not resist tainting their reportage of Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally by coloring their description of the crowd's makeup.
As if the media mouthpieces held a meeting to distribute talking points (Journolist?), the stories uniformly described the crowd as "overwhelmingly white" and the rally as "conservative".
When the screamers in the street are protesting the war on terror or a conservative president's increasing the national debt, the press fails to label them as "liberal".
They fail to officially notice that most liberal protests are "overwhelmingly white".

So why do they do these things?
Probably because they are biased elitists who look down their noses at conservatives and savor any chance to demean and demonize them.

One more reason to hate the healthcare law

I doubt Obama and his cronies specifically targeted gold dealers, even though Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are fronting for gold sellers, but the new regulations mandating IRS form 1099s for any transaction over $600 are really going to impact this industry.
Not only will dealers have to fill out a 1099 for almost any transaction they perform, customers that are selling don't want the government to know they are selling and all customers have a reason to fear the information required can be used for identity theft.

Personally, I find the TV pitchmen for gold to be annoying, but that doesn't make me glad that Big Brother is heaping more paperwork on small and medium businesses.
