I’m going to start a thread today, based on AtheoLeftist hypocrisy. There is so much to choose from that the task would be daunting, so I decided to take it one instance per day… or so.
Today’s offering is this: The Left Cheats Black Employees By Paying 30% Less.
”Campaign staffers who are people of color routinely get paid less than their white counterparts, and are often given less glamorous jobs. How an antiquated understanding of race relations results in minority staffers getting the short shrift.Straight up racism? Yep:
“If you’re a person of color hoping to get hired by a political campaign, here’s the ugly truth: You’ll probably get paid less than your white counterparts, if you’re even hired at all.
“On both sides of the aisle, there is a racial pay gap in campaign politics. Asian, Black and Latino staffers are paid less than their white counterparts, according to an analysis by the New Organizing Institute.
For example, African-American staffers on Democratic campaigns were paid 70 cents for each dollar their white counterparts made. For Hispanic staffers in Democratic campaigns, the figure was 68 cents on the dollar.
“And a recent study by PowerPAC+, funded by a major Democratic donor, revealed that less than 2 percent of spending by Democratic campaign committees during the past two election cycles went to firms owned by minorities.
“Political operative Michael Gomez Daly worked on two congressional campaigns in 2012 with similar budgets. On one campaign, Daly, who describes himself as “a very light-skinned Hispanic,” was brought in as a field director, primarily for his skills as a Latino operative who could reach out to the Hispanic community. On the second campaign, where they did not know he was Hispanic, “I just came in as ‘Michael Daly,’ instead of ‘that Latino operative,’” he said. “Right off the bat they offered me twice the amount for the same job.”
”The NOI statistics on the campaign race pay gap compare all staffers of each race, and average out the salaries. One of the explanations for lower minority wages could be that they tend to be represented in lower-paying campaign roles.This is not racism nor is it hypocrisy, because: neither decency nor law apply to the Left, because they fundamentally don't believe in either. It would be hypocrisy only if conservatives did it, because conservatives do believe that both decency and law apply to everyone.
“Most minority staffers get hired in campaigns in field jobs, and field jobs pay less,” explained Jamal Simmons, a Democratic political operative. “The problem is: they don’t hire African Americans, Latinos in the parts of the campaigns where they spend the most money. The most money in campaigns is spent in communications, polling and data. In those parts of the campaign, it’s very much mostly white.”

Liberals pride themselves on being committed and selfless. In short Liberals pose as our moral superiors, more altruistic, more sensitive to the needs of the oppressed, and less concerned with money and self-interest than anyone else."
Comes has always been as disingenuous and pompous as they come. Let's break down Combs' assertions.
"Hypocrisy is essentially a conservative disease, because leftists can't catch it."
This is absolutely accurate. The Atheo-Left is certainly immune to any cognitive dissonance associated with hypocrisy. They simply think they are always doing right, whatever they are doing.
"Liberals pride themselves on being committed and selfless." They do indeed, no matter how untrue that assertion might be in practice.
"In short Liberals pose as our moral superiors..."
A truly ironic sentence. They do pose as our moral superiors, though they are anything but. They are the champions of abortion, euthanasia, eugenics, and ends justify the means politics. Oh, but they are against capital punishment, so that equates in their illogical minds as "morally superiority."
"more altruistic, more sensitive to the needs of the oppressed, and less concerned with money and self-interest than anyone else."
The more altruistic has already been thoroughly debunked year after year; unless altruism means giving politicians more at a plate dinner than most Americans make annually. More sensitive. Yes, they are more sensitive, but the sensitivity leads to nothing but platitudes. Less concerned about money and self-interest? That certainly is the media narrative the Alan Combs helps sell to the low information voters they keep in poverty, isn't it.
His overall premise is accurate though. Liberals are not hypocrites in their own subjective, delusion, shifting morality world-view.
