The moonbat left-wing of the Democratic Party is a master of creating problems and then successfully shifting the blame onto others.  For example, create a welfare state that destroys families and economic prosperity in minority communities then, with the complicity of their “liberal sleeper cells” in the mass media, fill the airwaves, op-ed pages and left-leaning cable news channels with constant disinformation that will shift the blame to the Right — then vilify and marginalize those who disagree with the “party line.”   It is a formula that has served the Left well for decades and has been very well documented in Bamboozled.

That’s why we weren’t surprised to read a little missive on News Hounds (“We watch Fox so you don’t have to.”) that talked about the coverage of last week’s Presidential Candidate debates, both Democratic and Republican.  It bemoans that Fox News Studio B had three segments (in which Angela was a guest) on the Republican debates the day after they occurred, while having less coverage following the previous Democratic debates.  On the surface, that does not seem “fair and balanced.”  However, there’s nary a mention of the fact that the Democrats first committed to a previous Fox News debate with the Congressional Black Caucus, then choked, after the Lefties started whining — leading to the withdrawal of the three leading contenders Clinton, Obama, and Edwards, thus rendering the debate irrelevant.  Interestingly, this happened after Rupert Murdoch had held a fund-raiser for Hillary during her last Senate campaign.  What was he thinking?  Hadn’t he studied enough about Hillary to realize that she’s got all the loyalty of a drunken coed at Mardi Gras?  She’s loyal to whomever tossed the last beaded necklace.

So, while the News Hounds piece is “technically” true, it’s the equivalent of quoting someone “out of context.”  By not reporting the “whole story,” the reader is left with a false impression.  In this case, a news organization was ”shunned” by a political party in a way that ended up costing it “big bucks.”  Now, don’t you imagine that the same news organization would think long and hard before committing major resorces for coverage of that political party’s events in the future?  Of course it would.

Here are some background sources for this.  (International Herald Tribune, “Fox News debate drives wedge between Democrats,” May 27, 2007.  CBS News, “Democrats Dismiss Fox News Debate,” May 31, 2007.)

The following is the text of a press release by Angela McGlowan, calling on 2008 presidential candidates Senators Clinton and Obama to return money from “Gangsta Rap” sources.

Author Angela McGlowan Calls On Hillary And Obama To Give Back Gangsta Rap Money

The controversy with Don Imus has sparked a national debate about the impact and accountability of the language used by those holding the media’s spotlight, and particularly is zeroing in on the language used by hip-hop and ‘gangsta’ rap artists today.  Angela McGlowan, black Republican strategist, calls on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to give back ‘gangsta’ rap campaign dollars raised for their Presidential bids.  “If Hillary, Obama and Edwards claim to represent the voices of women and minorities they will stand firm and denounce the vulgar propaganda that is on our airwaves,”  says McGlowan.  “The hypocrisy that has been shown by all three candidates with Hillary having Timbaland host a rap fundraiser for her, Obama raising money for his campaign alongside Ludacris, and Edwards doing yoga with Russell Simmons is a travesty, and these politicians should come clean and do what’s right, instead of bamboozling us all again.”

McGlowan’s strong message towards extends into her new book Bamboozled: How Americans are being Exploited by the Lies of the Liberal Agenda.  In this, Angela McGlowan offers a wake-up call that exposes liberals’ continuing scheme to manipulate blacks, Latinos and women into supporting a political party that continues to sell them out and mislead them.  Bamboozled tells the real story of which political party has historically fought for the rights of blacks, Latinos and women, and why it is so essential that voters understand the Republican Party’s role in advancing civil rights before they elect our next president.Angela McGlowan, founder and president of Political Strategies and Insights, a Washington D.C. based consulting firm, interviews some of America’s biggest political players and insiders within Bamboozled , shedding a light on the baffling phenomenon as to why in the world blacks, Latinos and women vote for an ultra-liberal agenda – one that oppresses them and has a legacy that includes generational welfare dependence, a near-fatherless generation, soaring criminal delinquency, rampant drug addiction, and a disastrous educational system.   Interviews in Bamboozled include Rev. Al Sharpton, Bill O’Reilly, NOW president Kim Gandy, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, Bonnie Erbe, host of PBS’ “To The Contrary”, Judge Joe Brown, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson, former Secretary of Education Rod Paige, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., Robert Deposada, former president of the Latino Coalition, Center for Equal Opportunity Chair Linda Chavez, New York Times Best Selling author John McWhorter, and many more.Bamboozled exposes:

-How the GOP and its conservative policy prescriptions better represent the true values and interests of blacks, Latinos and women, and provide the best economic opportunities for these voters and their families. Today, for instance, blacks and Latinos enjoy explosive economic and entrepreneurial success and opportunities in America.-How the liberal social policies have led to the decline of the family, yet the Democrats continue to champion a culture of government dependence, exploiting black, Latino and women voters under the guise of compassion. In reality, the erosion of the traditional family is a triumph for liberals.
 
-How “Victimhood Vendors” like Louis Farrakhan, Teddy Kennedy and Reverend Jesse Jackson spew an endless diet of racial paranoia and liberal policies, promoting the image of black misery and failure instead of offering solutions.-How blacks and Latinos hold values of faith and family that should make them far more comfortable with the Republican Party, but they continue to be bamboozled by the Democrats into not voting their values.
 
-How the Democrats have re-written history about their involvement in the civil rights struggle. Most Americans do not know they were the party of the KKK and the Confederacy, or that the longest serving member of the Senate today, Senator Robert Byrd (D), is a former Klansman who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for over 14 hours. The party’s history of oppression, lynching and intimidation has been hidden so well for so long that the mere mention of it today seems conspiratorial rather than factual.
 
-How the liberals pretend to “fight for the little guy,” but all they really are doing is trying to ensure that the little guy stays little. After all, if the little guy prospers, who would the liberals have to fight for?
 
-How the flood of illegal aliens in our country is considered a golden opportunity for Democrats; a two-for-one special that allows liberals to race-bait Latino voters by making Republicans look like bigots, plus giving the liberals the lions’ share of votes from the 12 million illegal aliens with the passage of an amnesty bill.
 
-How liberals like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry are fighting for the voting rights of convicted murderers, rapists, thugs and pedophiles. With 4 million felons in the USA, is this the most sought-after voting bloc by liberals?  Bamboozled will answer that for you.

Says Angela McGlowan, “The liberal agenda’s future success hinges on its ability to create a grievance culture of victimhood and dependency, with a ‘blame America first attitude’. Through the creation of a labyrinth of government programs, bureaucracies, the mainstream media and the ‘Hip Hop’ crew’s glorification of the ‘gangsta life’, liberals have successfully oppressed women, the poor and people of color, essentially sapping their drive for self-reliance by creating a dependency-inducing welfare culture.”  
 
Don’t be Bamboozled any longer!
