All Lives Matter


Former governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, was interviewed by Shepard Smith on Fox News this afternoon about his reaction to the killing of three policemen in Baton Rouge this morning. In the course of his facile remarks, Governor Jindal said, "all lives matter," at which point Shepard Smith blanched and  took him to task because this phase had been denounced as racists ... by racists.

What in heaven's name is wrong with saying, "all lives matter?" Has its form been copywritten by the Black Panthers? As Jindal expanded on this phrase saying, "black lives matter ... brown lives matter ... white lives matter ... red lives matter ... all lives matter," Smith was still playing his PC violin. He then went on and on taking Jindal to task to the point I was shouting at the television (I'm over 70 and am allowed). It got so bad I had to turn the TV off in order to shut Shepard Smith up. Are we so conditioned by our liberal media (even on Fox) that we can't say something innocently appropriate like "all lives matter?"

What a perfect sphincter that pompous Smith is!
