Where is the media outrage?

Had a Republican, or even worse, President Bush made that special olympics, there would not be enough minutes in the day to cover the outrage at the obvious republican hatred for the disabled. Every minute of the day would be spent raging against what would be labeled both a hate crime, and a crime against humanity.

Update:

Stephanie - I am not outraged at what Obama said. I thought it was funny. It shows he has a sense of humor.

I am outraged at the media double-standard. Any republican that make that statement would be subject to a long and painful media flensing, protests, boycotts, etc, etc.

    OK, I guess I missed something here, so what is the tempest in the teapot this time?

    Media is in the tank for BO.

    This will see very little coverage.

    Might crank up a little later when Rush and Hannity puond on it.

    Another interesting question is where is the media coverage of the tea parties all over the country. Some of these events are getting thousands of people out there. But nothing on the nightly news.

    I just asked the same thing! You got that right! Now the liberal media is calling it a 'gaffe'!! Can you even imagine if GWB, McCain, Palin, Jindal, even Rush or anyone who doesn't suck up to the Dems did that!!

    OMG!!! You know, I really didn't want to believe that the media was just a bunch of left wing fanatics, but this one is slapping me in the face, so now I know it's true!!!

    I also thought Jay Leno was going to wet himself last night. I bet he was wearing a Depends, just in case.

    Oh my god, who cares? Why does everyone get their little feelings hurt over this nonsense? It is ridiculous what people choose to focus their selective outrage on.

    Hey yeah remember Congress approving trillions in bailouts? Stay focused on that so you'll remember to vote them out next term.

    It would be front page news everywhere and this gaff would become part of his legacy for the rest of his life. Imagine right now how Palin feels.

    you mean where's the mainstream liberal media outrage? Outrage at what? Obama echoing their own sentiments?!! Haha!! Good one!

    Since most of the media is liberal-owned, this is not surprising.
