“You can’t blame it on just the MSM.”

I don’t blame them solely; only 99%. Look at how much attention is given to a Repub criticizing another Repub versus how much is given to the majority of Repubs who criticize Obama. The media alone is the reason Republicans are branded “racist”; Dems have kept blacks (and increasingly Hispanics) in absolute squalor for their own political gains, and are never called out about it. The GOP’s worst enemy will always be the communists in this country and their media.

If Republicans found a way to eliminate all taxes without cutting a cent from the budget, the media would never report it (and you know it).

Nonsense. You ascribe too much power and control to the MSM.

Look at how much attention is given to a Repub criticizing another Repub versus how much is given to the majority of Repubs who criticize Obama.

How many Dems criticize other Dems, particularly on the floor of the House and Senate? Reps criticizing Obama is just another "dog bites man" non-story. When Reps go after other Reps, that is a story.

The media alone is the reason Republicans are branded “racist”

Meanwhile, Manhattan Institute fellow Heather Mac Donald notes the White House continues to attack opponents of the Bush-Kennedy amnesty package as “nativists.” Conservative columnist Linda Chavez accused amnesty critics of “not liking Mexicans.” Homeland Security Department Secretary Michael Chertoff suggested enforcement advocates wanted to “execute” illegal aliens. Sen. Lindsay Graham, South Carolina Republican, trashed immigration enforcement proponents as “bigots” in front of the ethnocentric, open-borders group La Raza. Yeah, we’re the nativists.

An employee of Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), together with a political ally of “Gang of Eight” member Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), will argue Friday that groups opposed to the immigration bill pending in the U.S. Senate are “nativists,” Breitbart News has learned.

Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan cites other attacks by Bush surrogates on the conservative base: "Sen. Lindsey Graham has said, 'We're gonna tell the bigots to shut up.' ... Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff suggested opponents would prefer illegal immigrants be killed; Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said those who oppose the bill want 'mass deportation.' Former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson said those who oppose the bill are 'anti-immigrant' and suggested they suffer from 'rage' and 'national chauvinism.'

"Why would they speak so insultingly, with such hostility, of opponents who are concerned citizens? And often, though not exclusively, concerned conservatives?" asks Noonan.

Because, Peggy, down deep where they live, they don't like the right, never did and have always sought to be seen by the Big Media as the progressive children of a dysfunctional and retarded family.

In the new book Game Change there are a number of revelations, gossip and innuendo that are attributed to those who were running for president in 2008. There are two quotes in the book though that I have no doubt were actually made. Both are from Senator John McCain.

The first is where McCain said that those who oppose amnesty for illegal aliens are "going to destroy the fu*king party”.

The second is in a call with Senator Lindsey Graham where McCain said in frustration at the rebuke he was getting, "Listen to these people ... Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such assholes?"

If Republicans found a way to eliminate all taxes without cutting a cent from the budget, the media would never report it (and you know it).

If the Reps would stop forming their circular firing squads they would be much better off. The way they treated Akin and Mourdock was uncalled for. The Dems stick together. We don't. When the leadership of the party including a Presidential nominee, senators, WH advisors, cabinet members, etc. label fellow members of the party as racists and bigots and nativists, it destroys the brand. Who wants to be a member of such a party? It just reinforces the Dems who label the GOP as a bunch of racist, old white men. It is the most destructive thing we can do. Don't blame the MSM for reporting it. Blame the a$$holes who are saying it.
