Shuster Gets Spanked by Kevin Jackson

Democrats are living in perilous times in these days since they passed their legislation to save all humanity. There are stories cropping up by the minute painting a grim portrait of savagery and violence against dainty Democrats who really only wanted to help their fellow-man after all. Curiously absent from these reports, however, is the report of a single arrest associated with crimes. Not a single police report been proffered as proof some dangerous right-winger is responsible for these alleged heinous crimes. Do I detect the familiar odor of manure in the air?

Don't get me wrong, there are fringe elements associated with both sides of the political spectrum, so I won't rule out the possibility that there may be some truth behind some of the reporting. Neither will I rule out that there is fear mongering involved here hoping to cast those who oppose this health care debacle as dangerous radicals. Nothing would squelch the likelihood your average Joe might speak out against the legislation better than creating the wide spread illusion that everyone opposed is a loon.

Despite a severe shortage of evidence, the cheerleading media is running wild with the news radical right-wingers have been terrorizing the villages ever since the bill passed. Ace cheerleader at MSNBC, David Shuster was stopped dead in his tracks, however, by conservative blogger Kevin Jackson, of The Black Sphere. It does my heart good to see someone give Shuster a well-deserved spanking, metaphorically speaking of course.

MSNBC Admits Shuster's Tweets "Inapproriate"

Politico reports though the network appears somewhat obsessed with covering the story of James O'Keefe's arrest, David Shuster has indeed crossed a line when he used his twitter account to attack O'Keefe:

Just before leaving for New Orleans to cover the story, Shuster used a Twitter message to tell conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe — one of the four men arrested by the FBI — that he’s “not a journalist,” that he “intended to tap phones” and that he “will go to prison.”

“The comments were inappropriate,” an MSNBC spokesperson told POLITICO Thursday. “We have talked to David about them.”

Inappropriate isn't exactly the word I would use to describe Shuster or his ridiculous attacks on conservatives on Twitter.  When I first opened a twitter account, Shuster called me a wingnut during one his attacks on people opposed to gay marriage.  I pointed out the President was opposed to gay marriage and asked if he was calling the President a "wingnut."    Shuster responded with, "It's an accurate description of the illogical arguments we sometimes hear from the right wing. So, get used to it. "wing nut."

Shuster has since deleted his response to me though I have saved a copy. I have to wonder how many others he has deleted.  Shuster was suspended from MSNBC in 2008 after characterizing Chelsea Clinton's activities while campaigning for her mother as being "pimped out in a weird sort of way."  As the Washington Post article points out, it is a wonder he has any career at all:

In case there was any doubt, using a prostitution metaphor for the daughter of a presidential candidate is not a good career move.

 Despite his history and inappropriate twitter comments, Shuster is reporting on the O'Keefe arrest from New Orleans.  How seriously should we take his reports on this subject?  The answer lies in Shuster's credibility to report the facts without bias.

Anyone believe Shuster doesn't have a horse in the race?

David Shuster is a Douchebag

Allahpundit has a report from Fox News citing sources close to James O'Keefe who claim the young man who exposed widespread corruption at ACORN is not charged with wiretapping.  Andrew Breitbart asks the media to wait for the facts before pronouncing O'Keefe guilty.

The left wing media and bloggers have been positively joyful since hearing the news of O'Keefe's arrest and have been vigilantly watching the right wing bloggers for signs of hypocrisy:

Can someone tell me how long it took Shuster to report on ACORN? It's no secret the media did everything humanly possible to ignore the ACORN scandal.  Truth be told, nearly every blogger has reported the story and issued some statement condemning the use of illegal means.  That is not good enough for the likes of David Shuster who can't wait to condemn the 25 year old, meanwhile FT Hood shooter Nidal Hassan got the benefit of the doubt.  Here is a selection of Shuster's tweets on O'Keefe:

He flat out admits he is enjoying it.  Whatever O'Keefe ends up being proved guilty of remains to be seen, Shuster, however, just proved himself to be a hypocritical douchebag.  Sorry, douchebag was the nicest term I could think of to describe him.
