While the residents were thankful for the overhaul — well over 100 volunteers came together to remove 12 tons of trash, according to Presler — the liberal media were, uh, irritated. The media attacked the activist as an “extremist,” questioned his motives, and scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”
They can take care of the garbage, but just choose not to?
” …….. scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”
It they can, or would, or wanted to, then why the problem in the first place?
Something I don’t think will be in the public discussion on the MSM.
The Leftists love their filthy areas of the cities and use the poor and minorities to create them, it furthers their cause.
Proof positive liberals never intend to solve any issues. They need the issues to grow larger in order to push their big gov agenda and demand ever increasing amounts of taxpayer dollars.
@Anon – exactly – and the same reason the moslems don’t want the “palestinian” situation solved (and was created in the first place).
Baltimore Sun Editorial:
“Amazingly enough, Mr. Presler is not the first one to come up with the bright idea of a neighborhood cleanup. It is not really that remarkable of a concept. In fact, they happen all the time. Sadly, it doesn’t take long for people (frequently from outside the community) to refill the alleyways with illegal dumping and for grass to grow again in front of vacant buildings with no resident available to tend the lawn”.
Right-o. Of course, doesn’t everyone drive thousands of miles to inner city Baltimore to dump their trash? I know I do!
Comcast owns MSNBC. Time Warner owns CNN. Dump them. Lets see what their stock looks like after they lose millions of subscribers….
Conservative campaigns, action groups, etc. should do this closer to the election. “Make America clean again” or something like that. What a boon for Trump supporters and the liberals would go berserk.
Bwahahahahaha… leftist if anything are so fucking cheap and lazy. Don’t expect them to ever sweat or bleed or spend a dime of their OWN money on anything. Why do you think they get shit rubbed in their faces when it comes to charitable donations? Remember when the Clinton’s donated their used underwear?? Classic libs, so free with other people’s money.
“We don’t want to live in a better place, especially if it’s you racists making it better.”
Is that what the media is quoting here?
Billy Fuster, great idea. Groups in MAGA hats doing great community deads to help impoverished neighborhoods. Who has done more for you? 50-years of democrat rule? Or a bunch of kind people you have been told are the enemy?
RACISM!!! 🙄
Truth of the matter- private citizens fixing the problem is the worst possible news story because …. wait for it …. only the government can fix that problem.
So it must be reported that private people fixing the problem are racists.
If I had the means I would burn CNN, MSMBC and the rest to the ground and that is metaphorically speaking.
Uncle Tom Cummings of the democrat plantation is very upset. So is Uncle Tom sharpton, and Uncle Tom obama.
How are they supposed to create a thoroughbred bloodline of rats if you people destroy their habitat?
” …….. scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”
Hit the brakes! Throw the anchor out and stop right here, Lefties!
Now do Affirmative Action, if you want to talk about help that hurts.
Trash and liberal…same diff
” …….. scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”
Sounds like someone who’s pissed his Mommy cleaned his room….
Dadof4, how right you are. I read that the organizer, Scott, was getting hate from the left and his response to them was to invite them to help. Never heard a peep from them. But he did have help from some in the neighborhoods; even those who told him that they didn’t agree with his politics, but wanted to help anyway.
The left can’t stand someone actually doing something productive instead of something like Affirmative Action, which really does hurt those the left pretend to care about.
