Ed Rollins is my new hero. It was nice to see him turn the tables on Chris Wallace and put that pompous man in his place.
The treatment Fox News and "conservative" celebrities like Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham & Sean Hannity have given to Mike Huckabee is deserving of shame and infamy. Britt Hume is the one who truly disappoints me. I truly thought he would be above joining in the subtle mockery, condescension and propagation of distorted “facts” on this honorable man.
Frankly, I would not at all be surprised if this so-called “blogger” whom Chris Wall claims “overheard” him in a diner talking about Giuliani was nothing other than a free-lance reporter bought and paid for by the news media or a private investigator paid for by a desperate candidate. That is more likely the REAL story. I float my conjecture, “YOU DECIDE”.
Let's reflect as a nation about WHO may have been the real impetus for this SLEAZY tactic. The establishment media pundits have insulted our intelligence from the moment Huckabee climbed to the top of the polls.
The slogan of “we report, you decide” has been undermined beyond repair. Fox News has stooped to using all of the underhanded tactics perfected by the left-wing media to bring down Mike Huckabee to the point they have sounded more juvenile than a convention of playground bullys.
I fully expect to bombard us with talking points to palliate the magnitude of this decisive victory over the next week. I fully expect for them to spend the next few weeks looking for ways to distort the record of Mike Huckabee. I fully expect them to spend the next few weeks to carefully assassinate the character and question the MOTIVES of Governor Mike Huckabee. I expect them to sum this up as only being a victory for "the Christian right".
To that end I say as I said before on my youtube blogs under the pseudynom “DrArbitrage”, the more they insult our intelligence with this nonsense, the more people will look at Huckabee themselves and see that the slander and libel don't ring true. The TRUTH will win.
I am offended and will never view this network in the same light. I don't think Fox understands the number of viewers they have deeply offended. Fox News is biting the hand that feeds it. Do they think that they made it to the top of cable news because they TAUGHT US what to think? Roger Ailes needs to make some serious changes to these panels.
I am deeply disappointed in them and I cling to the hope that if the venerable Tony Snow were still there that he would not have resorted to the despicable character assassination we have witnessed.
The people are speaking. Let's continue to make history.

I just hope Iowa doesn’t reflect the rest of the nation. If it does, we’re screwed.
This is what they call here a “vanity” thread, right?
The New Media has made information available at the snap of your fingers - it will be more gossipy because of that. It’s just a fact that someone as experienced as Rollins should be able to deal with.
Amen, and they continually put down Fred Thompson, who came from no where and finished or tied 3rd. Dismissed Thompson but gave McCain credit for the same finish.
I respect your opinion, but calling Huck an “honorable man” is rediculous. He is a lying, smarmy politician. Honorable men are currently serving our country right now though. Get new heroes please.
Considering that Huckabee isn't a conservative and those three are, how should they have treated him? They probably treat Hillary Clinton about the same.
Actually, come to think of it, I've heard Hannity say some very nice things about Huckabee.
You forgot Bill Kristol?
“HUCK EQUALS JIMMY CARTER, THEY COME BY ALONG EVERY 30 YEARS”
Rollins,the jack ass that bashed Rush Limbaugh to score MSM points? Nice try.
Your not kidding! I saw that interview, and was totally disgusted with Brit’s remarks about “so much for a happy victor” comment, after Wallace totally ambushed him with a bunch of personal questions that had nothing to do with the issues, or Mike’s victory.
I voted for Rollin’s man, and got Clinton. Not about to do this again and get Clinton Redux. If there was a watershed moment in deciding whom to never vote for, it would be whomever Rollins said to go with.
He is one of the worst snakes out there, and his ‘credit’ of Reagan taking 49 states — Reagan was running against /Mondale/ of all people. My grandmother could have beat him. He knows how to manipulate voters, and he manipulated me with Perot.
Great. So now someone who goes around saying he wants to knock Romney’s teeth out is a “hero” to Republicans. What the heck is wrong with you people out there in Iowa? Shame on you for engaging in identity politics and voting solely on the basis of religion. You’re as bad as Hillary and her all-female ads. Sheesh. So much for the conservative coalition and movement in this country.
It may be time to start stockpiling lots of alcohol to get through the Dim/Hickabee years.
” Ed Rollings is an arrogant, rude, vile man. Qualities adored in the Democratic party. ———Not welcome in the GOP-—”
Ronald Reagan’s CAMPAIGN MANAGER - is not welcome in the Republican party. Shows how much you Huckabee haters do your homework.
Keep drinking Drudge and Hannity’s Kool-Aid.
Iowa is trying to Skullhuck the country.
"Infamy"?
No more Dopes from Hope.
If you have something to say that you don’t want publicized, don’t say it in public.
Loose lips sink ships.
