Remember when the effeminate liberals got their nylons in a twist when Cheney (appropriately) used the the F-Bomb?
VP Biden: Not in the Presidential Dog House for His Salty Language at Bill Signing
ABC News' Karen Travers reports:
It looks like Vice President Biden is not sharing a dog house with Bo 0bama after the colorful comment he made at yesterday’s health care reform bill signing.
At a DNC fundraiser tonight in Baltimore, Biden told the audience of donors that at this morning’s presidential briefing, Obama said the best thing yesterday was the vice president’s comment that signing health care reform legislation was a “big f---ing deal.”
“’You know what the best thing about yesterday was? Joe’s comment,’” Biden recounted the president saying at the meeting.

Rand Paul Flip Flops
First he opposed The Civil Rights Act of 1964 Now he Supports it
Rather than want to talk about his flip flop he wants to talk about Sen........................wait for it..............................
Byrd's flip flop on it. Wow -- what a weasel.
Which do you consider old news --- Sen. Byrd's flip flop (is Byrd running for office against Paul?) or Rand Paul's flip flop?
Oh, right -- focusing on Paul's flip flop displays media bias.
Focusing on Sen Byrd's flip flop displays top notch coverage of a breaking news story.
He whines he isn't getting a honey moon after achieving a big victory ----- he just won election to one of the highest offices ....................wait .................what did he get elected to? ........................Sorry, I can't remember.

IS,
I can see your still debating whether to vote for him or not so...
He didn't change his viewpoint. He took issue with 1/10 of the act. Rather than be forthright, would you rather have had him say, "I agree with the act, next question."
Obviously some are grilled more by the media than others; there's an obvious bias based on the network and to deny so is dishonest.

EDITORIAL: Rand Paul and racism
Bogus charge is a sign of the left's desperation
Quote
It didn't take long for Kentucky Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul to learn his first lesson in the big-league political spotlight: Never trust a liberal. The libertarian eye surgeon drew fire from the left for his impolitic attempt to hold a rational debate on the nuances of the Civil Rights Act with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday.
In the past, Dr. Paul established a rapport with the left-leaning cable TV hostess on whose show he launched his long-shot campaign against the establishment candidate for the Republican nomination. Back then, it was no surprise that Ms. Maddow would treat the sower of discord within the Grand Old Party with courtesy and respect.
That all changed Tuesday when, by an overwhelming margin, Dr. Paul showed himself as having a credible shot at being the Bluegrass State's next junior senator.

MSNBC Hit Piece Smears Tea Party As Neo-Nazis
Quote
An MSNBC hit piece set to air next week attempts to smear Tea Party activists and average Americans concerned about how the financial crisis is being exploited as neo-nazi Hitler supporters who want to go on killing sprees, highlighting once again the corporate media’s desperation to eviscerate the popularity of anti-establishment political candidates in the run up to the November elections.
“The Rise of the New Right” is an MSNBC special presented by Chris Matthews that will air on June 16 at 7 p.m. ET

Shocking. We conservatives would NEVER have guessed this.
Sarcasm off.
Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright
By Jonathan Strong - The Daily Caller
It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.
The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”
Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”
Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

The Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy
Everyone knew most of the press corps was hoping for Obama in 2008. Newly released emails show that hundreds of them were actively working to promote him.
By FRED BARNES
When I'm talking to people from outside Washington, one question inevitably comes up: Why is the media so liberal? The question often reflects a suspicion that members of the press get together and decide on a story line that favors liberals and Democrats and denigrates conservatives and Republicans.
My response has usually been to say, yes, there's liberal bias in the media, but there's no conspiracy. The liberal tilt is an accident of nature. The media disproportionately attracts people from a liberal arts background who tend, quite innocently, to be politically liberal. If they came from West Point or engineering school, this wouldn't be the case.
Now, after learning I'd been targeted for a smear attack by a member of an online clique of liberal journalists, I'm inclined to amend my response. Not to say there's a media conspiracy, but at least to note that hundreds of journalists have gotten together, on an online listserv called JournoList, to promote liberalism and liberal politicians at the expense of traditional journalism.
My guess is that this and other revelations about JournoList will deepen the distrust of the national press. True, participants in the online clubhouse appear to hail chiefly from the media's self-identified left wing. But its founder, Ezra Klein, is a prominent writer for the Washington Post. Mr. Klein shut down JournoList last month—a wise decision.

Poor Andrew Breitbart :'( :'(
"The whole key to this story is that Andrew Breitbart was set up. He was sent a tape that, as we now know, was massively out of context. It did look like this woman was saying something racist. When she first said it was taken out of context . . . we've heard that before from politicians telling racist jokes. This is the first time in world history it was literally taken out of context.
"It was a lovely speech. Of course the White House reacted that way -- of course you reacted the way you did. Anyone would have. I think Breitbart ought to reveal his source, because he was set up. This was a fraud. The person who sent the edited tape has to know what the full speech said, and whomever sent only that segment to Andrew Breitbart is the one who should apologize to Shirley Sherrod."

Of the many interesting things we find in the Journolist Scandal, we get confirmation that many of them are limp-wristed metrosexuals. For the love of God, man up!
Although it is now OK to start crying for your country after what you did to it....
From Taranto's Best of the Web:
A collection of excerpts titled "Obama Wins! And Journolisters Rejoice" reveals male journolists to be an unattractively lachrymose bunch:
DAVID ROBERTS, GRIST: It's all I can do not to start bawling.
JOHN BLEVINS, SOUTH TEXAS COLLEGE OF LAW: It's all I can do to hold it together.
HENRY FARRELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: I had to close my office door yesterday because I was watching YouTube videos of elderly African Americans saying what this meant to them and tearing up.
JOSH BEARMAN, LA WEEKLY: 11 months ago I burst into tears by myself on a plane while watching Hardball when my mind wandered to the image of President Obama being sworn in. I've been fighting it ever since.
MICHAEL TOMASKY, THE GUARDIAN: I'm just jelly. Lord!
Hey guys, thanks for sharing. To paraphrase Ella Wheeler Wilcox: Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and the world laughs at you.

Incredible. When twice confronted with the facts, the liberals still held on to the lies. This isn't journalism it is propaganda of the highest order.

What is really incredible is the rush of right wing bloggers, commentators and pundits to try to whitewash the noxious effect of Fox News has on the national discourse. The sequence of events can be seen here. (scroll down and click the links).
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201007200060
Then, we see Newt blaming the White House for his own words. BooHoo the devil made me do it Coward..
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201007250002
The reality is that had the DOA and the White House with held action the right wing (Fox Machine) would have claimed whitewash, cover-up etc. etc. This way the right wing bloggers have been exposed for what they are.

Post Has Watergate Scandal of Its Own
By Cliff Kincaid
The paper’s reporters have a vested interest in ignoring the serious nature of the scandal because the bad news could affect Post profits and their livelihoods, even their jobs.
President Obama’s Big Government socialism is threatening the profits of The Washington Post, and Post reporter Steven Pearlstein can remain silent no more.
Not only does a Post company now stand accused of fraudulent practices, two high-powered law firms are considering lawsuits on behalf of the shareholders of the Post against the company’s directors, including Warren Buffett and Bill Gates’ wife Melinda.
The company, Kaplan, is part of The Washington Post Company and “has provided the handsome profits that have helped to cover this newspaper’s operating losses,” admits Pearlstein in an extraordinary August 11 column. “Although we in the Post newsroom have nothing to do with Kaplan, we’ve all benefited from its financial success.”
Please understand that Kaplan is facing the threat of tough new federal regulations from the Obama Administration.
Isn’t it interesting how profits are now being defended when they benefit liberal journalists?
