ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC PBS Intimidation of Black Activist, nothing to see here

Well It’s been 20 hours since this first tweet from Ali:

Which was fol­lowed by this post by Stacy McCain

and Ace, The Daily Gator, Amer­i­can Power, Camp of the Saints, The Lonely Con­ser­v­a­tive, Twitchy, The Fel­low­ship of the Per­pet­u­ally Aggrieved, Instapun­dit, Evil Blog­ger Lady, The Con­ser­v­a­tive Hide­out and others.

Well 20 hours is a life­time in the 24 hour news cycle, so I decided to check ABC news to see if there were any results from the past 24 hours on the threats to Ali

Nope how about CBS News

Well what about NBC

Hey that’s not fair NBC news is under MSNBC let’s try there instead

CNN?

Surely PBS will have some­thing

or not.

24 hour news cycle, what 24 hour news cycle?

Now I wouldn’t expect print media to have some­thing pub­lished on this yet, but per­haps the paper of record has some­thing on their website…

…then again maybe they won’t. Well Politico MUST have some­thing, after all they are really known as an online paper and Ali is the head of the National Blog­gers Club:

Now all of these sites are part of the MSM and “lean” left surely some­one on the left must have some­thing to say about the attempt of a Demo­c­rat Oper­a­tives to intim­i­date & silence a Black Polit­i­cal activist:

And this in a nut­shell is the Mod­ern left/​Democrats, not much dif­fer­ence than the old Richard Rus­sell Democ­rats where intim­i­da­tion of a Black polit­i­cal activist and his fam­ily to keep him quiet was not only how things were done, but was not some­thing the media talked about.

It also shows why, with respect to my friend Ace, his idea is for a day of silence is hor­ri­ble!

The goal of the left is to silence us, to keep our voices to break through the media silence on issue after issue. It has been our suc­cess at this that has dri­ven them to try to silence us.

So in order to protest the attempt to keep our voices silent, we are going to…do what they want?

Remem­ber this is the same MSM that ignores the largest march in DC every year, it will be no trou­ble for them to pre­tend blog­gers who chal­lenge their nar­ra­tive don’t exist. For them that’s the good old days.

I think a much bet­ter idea would be along the lines of “Every Blog About Brett Kim­ber­lin day” where the story dom­i­nated Meme­o­ran­dum to the point where it was impos­si­ble to go to Meme­o­ran­dum with­out see­ing it.

I think an even bet­ter plan idea would be 100 blog­gers call­ing each of these media out­lets, and then per­haps more local papers to see if they are going to cover it, I think call­ing the NAACP the con­gres­sional black cau­cus and seek­ing com­ment would be more effec­tive. I think a head­line at Meme­o­ran­dum that says…

“NAACP silent on attempt to intim­i­date black polit­i­cal activist through family”

…just might draw a few eye­balls, then per­haps we can con­tact the British Press and see if THEY will cover it.

Update: Stacy McCain notes that Texas is not Mary­land:

Mary­land courts have been incred­i­bly lenient with the Kimberlin/​Rauhauser axis, but Ali assures me that Texas won’t take too kindly to the pur­pose­ful harass­ment of one of its law-​abiding cit­i­zens. Ali’s mother has harmed no one, and who­ever thought up this sick stunt might find them­selves pros­e­cuted to the fullest extent of the law — Texas law.

For some rea­son his post reminds me of this scene from Casablanca:

Update 2: I can’t stress this enough: All of these tac­tics are not signs of the strength of the left, it’s a sign of their weak­ness and des­per­a­tion These are not things you do when you are win­ning. That means any counter to them should include this sim­ple piece of advice:

Ride Right Through them, they’re demor­al­ized as Hell!

Keep that in mind and we’ll be fine.

Update 3: A new tar­get with the right response and more outrage
