A reader forwarded me the link to this Michael Barone article from October 11, 2008 (the day before the first post at Legal Insurrection), The Coming Obama Thugocracy:
"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors,” Barack Obama told a crowd in Elko, Nev. “I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican.

These journ0lists have no shame.
When history is written, I hope they're shamed for supporting the Communist demagogue and all his lies.
Years ago I learned a lesso about the media. When they come to you for information, say No comment and walk away.
They are not looking for information,but a way to slant the story their way.
The best way to handle the Media is to walk away.
History is a funny thing written by the winners in the conflict. Things are looking pretty grim.
