Combine two parts black liberation theology clerics spewing intolerance! With two parts of unrepentant intellectuals committed to the destruction of America. Stir in one cup of militant black wife harboring the overwhelming desire to stick it to whitey and one spoonful of typical white person grandmother mix well. Pour a gallon of anti-patriotism into tall glasses and sprinkle with na&amp;#239;ve foreign policy ideations. Serve on a platter of meaningless oratorical hyperbole with a generous dollop of wealth re-distribution. Sprinkle liberally with zest of white guilt &amp;nbsp; flip it and flop it till it tastes right.top it off with a ounce of anti-semitism &amp;nbsp;and &amp;nbsp; Serve large portions to the undiscerning and spellbound masses convinced that the Second Coming is upon America and now you have a complete recipe for disaster!		&lt;/p&gt;

I however think that the media scutinizes every move and comment that they make just to get some news. As journalists they make a lot of mistakes too. So what I want to say is that the press should give these guys a break. If they misspeak, saying Vietnam instead of Sudan, I can understand. They are human. They get tired. They have lapses. Too much information to assimilate at any time. (This is however different from lying or making up stories. That is not acceptable).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So please let us be reasonable.&lt;/p&gt;
