What about this incident was racist ? The egg throwing incident had to do with his politics, not his race ...

Eggs are white and their candidate is black therefore this must be racism!

Conservatives seem to have a problem recognizing and evaluating nuance. Issues are only black and white. i.e. If they have a black friend it means they can't be racist or if a black cop shoots and unarmed black person it can't have anything to do with systemic racism. They don't seem to understand that subtlety, nuance and context make a difference.

Do you think that maybe the gorilla mask the attacker had on might be a clue or maybe the words she was using might make it more clear.

I don't understand the connection between racism and a white woman wearing a gorilla mask.

And what words, in particular, did she use ???

To what extent should right wing media cover and report the truth? It seems some people would like all media to echo their own preferred narrative....regardless of its relationship with reality.

It goes back to the idea that black people where closer to gorillas than white people and has been considered racist for a very long time.

"Should," you say? Yes, of course the media should cover such news, particularly given all the attention otherwise directed at race relations, and because this incident occurred within days of an election that the whole nation has been paying attention to.

But "Will" the media?

Would it benefit the Democratic candidate to do so...or not?

Any more questions?

Perhaps the store was out of Guy Fawkes masks?

Halloween in coming up, after all -- there's a lot of demand out there...

Msn and Yahoo will usually pick stuff up, as they just repost stuff. But you are right. None of the usual suspects wanted to cover it.

Someone attacks a leading candidate at a public gathering but, because that candidate is a Republican, it's not interesting enough that the media might report on the specifics??

There is no doubt, however, if that had happened to Newsom, the analysts from top to bottom would have been beating their breasts and shouting about QAnon (however that's supposed to be spelled), white supremacy, "insurrection," attacks upon "democracy," and "domestic terrorism."

We all know the mythical enemies that would be cited as being close to taking over the world because an egg was thrown.
