Santorum Schools Yet Another MSM Journalist on Obama’s Appeasement – This Time, NBC’s David Gregory

Last month, Sen. Rick Santorum schooled CNN’s Candy Crowley on the subject of President Barack Obama’s appeasement of America’s enemies.

Today, on NBC’s Meet the Press, it was David Gregory’s turn.

Like Crowley, Gregory attempted to “fact-check” Santorum by arguing that it could not possibly be “accurate” or “objective” to describe Obama’s foreign policy as “appeasement.”

In particular, he challenged Santorum to distinguish Obama’s policy on Iran from that of his predecessor, George W. Bush. (For several years, Democrats have tried to defend Obama by pointing out that the Bush administration refused to approve military strikes, either by the U.S. or by Israel.)

Santorum, as usual, delivered the facts on demand:

Astounding isn’t it...the endorsements for Willard. Boggles the mind. The man, IMHO, has absolutely NO message, nothing he says inspires me to want to even consider voting for him. IMHO, he’s been running for president all his life; he’s a phoney, fair-weathered, flip-flopping, egotistical flim-flam man, IMHO, of course. It absolutely boggles the senses as to how he garners the endorsements that he does. Furthermore, what in the world is “conservative” about this guy? What? I just don’t get it. I-just-don’t-get-it-at-all. Speaks volumes about just how far off the mark, how far to the left we have gone as a nation, IMHO of course.

Watched the interview with Gregory...sheesh! Rick’s endorsement of Romney in 2008 was just sickening (to call him a “conservative?” Get real!)...and all because he was against McCain...not because he was truly for Romney. Look, I like Rick Santorum, I wish him well, but what he did there is more of the same old crap from politicians...supporting/endorsing one guy just because you don’t want the other guy. It’s crap like that that encourages crap like Romney to continue hanging around! With that being said, I’d still support Santorum.

Which Czar position does David Gregory hold? It's apparent he's not a journalist because a journalist wouldn't be fighting Obama’s battles for him; they'd be reporting facts. So I ask, which position in Obama’s administration does Gregory hold?

[Erik Latranyi]

IMHO, he’s been running for president all his life;

Romney has been running for some office all of his life. As Newt skewered him, and Romney admitted, he would be a career politician if he had beaten Ted Kennedy (by running to his left).

Santorum was beaten by a similar man, Robert Casey Jr. He is the son of a popular, moderate, pro-life Governor.

Casey kept running for various offices and as soon as he would win, he would not finish the term before running for the next office higher. I think he has aspirations to follow hs father as Governor, but hope the people of Pennsylvania have seen the fake, phony, fraud for who he is, a liberal politician who will say/do anything for a vote.

Gregory sounded legitimately angry at Santorum. What a dick.

“I like Santorum but he’s not gotten much respect in the process to this point, for whatever reason.”.........

Well, with hacks like Gregory and the rest of the lame stream media NOT giving much attention to Santorum, you can bet your bippy he is a GOOD candidate that they are afraid might get the nod if he got good press (what ever that is).

...but hope the people of Pennsylvania have seen the fake, phony, fraud for who he is, a liberal politician who will say/do anything for a vote.

Same for Romney...fit's him to the 'T' ... say/do anything to get elected. As for Romney, most likely has been running for something most of his life...just to boost his self-esteem, a la Sally Fields..."They like me! They really like me!" No thanks!

The people of PA never see or hear from lil’ Bobby Casey. He rarely makes an appearance. It will be very tough for him to get “pro-Casey” momentum when the time comes. It will have to be “anti-whoever”.

[DeaconRed]

"Santorum is looking very attractive at this point."

I think he is the only conservative left in the race with a chance. I also like M. Bachman but I really don't think she has a prayer.
Rick gets my vote. I hope that is not the kiss of death. Every time I pick a candidate they fold like an accordion.
If Rick folds then I will get behind Paul so he will FOLD.

Excellent! I'll tell it and keep you posted as to its progress. :-)

If my toaster ran against obama I’d vote for it.
