Which Is Melting Faster: America's Position in Middle East or MSM's Position in America?
Townhall ^ | 9-14-12 | Hugh Hewitt

If an American consulate had been attacked and four Americans including the ambassador slaughtered on George W. Bush's watch --on 9/11, no less-- the outrage broadcast over the nation's elite media would have been intense and round-the-clock.

Had George W. Bush then responded to those events by jetting to Vegas for a fundraiser and campaign rally marked by a rote and emotion-less nod towards the victims and a callous transition to the difficulty of campaign life for political volunteers, well, the hysteria that would have followed would have melted wires.

Because Barack Obama is the MSM's favorite president ever; however, when these events followed that outrageous attack on Wednesday, the Manhattan-Beltway media did not even pause from their unremitting attack on...Mitt Romney, of course.

When the President compounded the day's fiasco by announcing to a stunned foreign policy elite via Telemundo that Egypt was not an "ally," much of the MSM didn't even bother to note the pratfall, nor the fact that it was juxtaposed with the President's chest thumping dismissal of Mitt Romney as as "shoot-first, aim later" candidate.

“There is a Washington Post article going around the net that takes the paint off the walls about Obama.”

Could you give us a link, luv?

On a related note, I just called the NY Times night desk (or whatever) and strenuously questioned the young fellow who answered if he, or anyone there, got why this “interrogation” of this filmmaker is so bad.

He was a very nice young man and he strongly said HE at least did get it. We talked for a few minutes and finally I said “well, good luck with your co-workers” to which he replied “that’s what my family tells me”.

So, I take this as a sign of hope.

Our government is acquitting itself with nothing but disgrace over the last few days. I hope Romney comes out with a statement against this fascistic behavior.

Where is Larry Flynt when we need him?

The e-mail I got was entitled I Too Have Grown Disillusioned, by Matt Patterson - Washington Post, New York Post and San Francisco Examiner. I don’t know how to do a link. So many things that come out about Obama get immediately debunked by “fact check” places; but this looked legitimate, the article was SO good and SO true.
