Fox Plays The Race Card Over LAPD Cop-Killing Suspect Dorner

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on February 12, 2013 · Flag

Didn't you just know this was bound to happen? Sunday morning (2/10/13), on Fox & Friends Weekend, the Curvy Couch Crew lamented the internet support for suspected cop-killer Christopher Dorner. Instead of doing any actual investigation into the causes or noting that he's not the only suspected mass murderer to garner internet fans, the hosts waved away his accusations of police brutality and racism and suggested African Americans were using race to justify violence. Co-Host Tucker Carlson even suggested that Rep. Maxine Waters is a likely supporter of Dorner.

As I wrote in my post on Crooks and Liars about this segment, co-host Mike Jerrick used his time in Los Angeles in the 90's as "evidence" that the LAPD now has a "pretty darned good relationship with the public." And we knew who to blame for any disagreements even before Tucker Calrson said:

Who cares (what kind of racism Dorner endured in the LAPD)? You saw this in 1992 during the LA riots. And you saw members of Congress, including Maxine Waters who’s still in the Congress, make the case that this violence against innocent bystanders then and now was justified because it was a reaction against racism. Violence is not justified. Period… I don’t care what happened to Rodney King. You don’t have a right to shoot strangers.

I'm looking forward to Hannity's take on this.

Rush Limbaugh did this yesterday- In fact, he used very similar wording to this… repeating variations of it for something like eight minutes.

I know what RW Media’s game is with Dorner… just not sure what they’re hoping to get out of it. Certainly not more votes in 2014, that’s for sure. Unless there’s something I’m missing here.

Bill: Skipped that, but saw the segment later. While it wasn’t exactly enlightened, it was almost shockingly held back for him.

If Dorner were white, Fux Noise would ignore the entire story. It would not fit into their usual meme of angry, violent criminals with black skin. (For historical perspective, see the Willie Horton case).

I was somewhat surprised by Hannity’s somewhat reserved response to the Dorner defenders. There wasn’t even one “shocked and outraged” in his whole piece last night. I think the piece of crap Hannity is scared he might piss him off too much and get on his list! LOL
