Talk about non sequiturs?!?

In Discussion About Bibi, Chris Matthews Attacks GOP For…Racism

Ken Shepherd, Oct. 29, 2014, NewsBusters

For the second night in a row, MSNBC's Chris Matthews gratuitously attacked Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus as someone who is almost singlemindedly devoted to disenfranchising black voters. Matthews made the remarks in the midst of a panel discussion about how Republicans like Priebus had glommed onto a report of a Obama administration official calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "chickenshit" in order to make political hay of the controversy.

As we at NewsBusters have documented, the liberal media have shown no lack of interest in the candidacy of American Idol runner-up turned Democratic politician Clay Aiken.

So it should be interesting to see the coverage, or lack thereof, for Mr. Aiken having tweeted a while back, "Anyone else watching @piersmorgan want to punch Ann Coulter in the face?" What's more, reports blogger Sooper Mexican, Aiken once all but urged fans to call Coulter a c**t. War on women, anyone?

First, Jessica Chasmar of the Washington Times with the Twitter story (emphases mine):
Democratic congressional candidate Clay Aiken has reportedly deleted a tweet in which he fantasized about punching conservative author Ann Coulter “in the face.” 

“Anyone else watching @piersmorgan want to punch Ann Coulter in the face?” the former “American Idol” runner-up tweeted in October 2012, The Daily Caller reported. 

The tweet was first flagged by a blog that found other instances of celebrities re-tweeting Mr. Aiken’s comment, including Arsenio Hall. 

“You and Ann should do a political version of ESPN’s First Take!” he replied.
Mr. Aiken won the North Carolina Democratic nomination last week with a lead of less than 400 votes, just one day after his main contender, Keith Crisco, was found dead in his home. 

Now the Democrat is set to run in November against Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers, who has represented the conservative district for two terms so far.
BuzzFeed reported earlier this year that Mr. Aiken had deleted a number of tweets ahead of his congressional run, but the report didn’t mention the one about Miss Coulter, The Daily Caller said. 

One of the deleted tweets said: “Playing drinking game with my brother now. We drink every time we see a black person on screen at the RNC convention. #soberasamormon.”

And here's the offensive tweet that Sooper Mexican found involving the C-word:

USA Today Distorts, Laments SCOTUS On Campaign Finance Case --While complaining, Dems will use decision to raise $

April 03, 2014 Federal Elections Commission , First Amendment 0 Comments
By Ken Shepherd, Apr. 2, 2014, Newsbusters.org
USA Today's Richard Wolf and Fredreka Schouten wasted no time this morning distorting the Supreme Court's April 2 ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC, which essentially holds that a provision of federal law setting an aggregate limit on an individual's campaign contributions violates the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech.
Wolf and Schouten, however, practically endorsed the lament of liberal detractors, opening their story with a loaded lead paragraph that had nothing to do with the merits of the case and followed up by weaving a narrative focused on the "bitter national debate" about campaign finance rather than strictly adhering to the constitutional merits of the Court's ruling.
