Mary Katharine Ham: Media Not Telling Whole Story (videos)

Popular FoxNews contributor, Town Hall guru, and North Carolina native, Mary Katharine Ham (left, with Dallas Woodhouse, state President of the NC Americans for Prosperity chapter) spoke at the Saturday evening reception of the Defending the American Dream Summit.  

Ham told the crowd that conservatives are NOT racists, astroturf angry mobs, domestic terrorists,or hate mongers.  

Our group of Tea Partiers, she said, are simply a group of unsatified, patroitic Americans who are exercising  free speech according to  first amendment rights.

She compared our protests to the protests of the anarchists at the recent Pittsburgh G20 Summit. 

 In all of the Right's Tea Party protests combined, only 11 people were arrested, most of which were for minor infractions, such as pulling down signs.  Only two of those were for actual assaults.

Seven of the 11 acts were commited by liberal counter-protesters.

At the Pittsburgh G20 Summit, the anarchists were in a completely different league, Ham said.  They vandalized cars, smashed shop windows, threw rocks at law enforcement, and 65 were arrested.

Naturally, according to Ham, the press ignored the anarchists, and chose only to focus on the few bad apples in the conservative "mobs" at the tea parties and further tried to whip up  fear and hysteria among the general public.  

Ham admitted that she was tired of the "mainstream press" trying to demonize conservatives.

This North Carolina blogger apprecites the excellent work being done by Miss Ham, part of the new leadership of the conservative movement.  

Thank goodness we have people like her, who are witty, sarcastic, and extremely bright.  She can out debate any liberal on virtually any topic, simply by using common sense.  Common sense is something we need more of, in our North Carolina state government,  in Congress and in the White House.
