How MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell distorts a Romney story
IBD Editorials ^ | June 19, 2012 | ANDREW MALCOM

Posted on 06/19/2012 9:40:53 AM PDT by Kaslin

Remember the fun the MSM had with Republican VP Dan Quayle in a school room holding up a mis-spelled word, without mentioning that the class teacher was the one who'd written out the word incorrectly?

Or how they made Republican President George H.W. Bush look stupid at a grocery store photo op making conversation with a checkout clerk about how the scanner worked? The repetitive media meme for Republicans is 'out of touch.'

Well, this may be the best/worst one yet: Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC making fun of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at a rally describing the purchase of a hoagie at a local store. Watch this video and see the impression you get from MSNBC's Romney film clip.

Then scroll down for what Romney really said.

Heh...

Why would anyone care about what romney said about a sandwich?

Im more interested in the fact that hes a socialist.

The media is always gonna go after someone with an “R” after his name. Well, maybe not too hard this time being that romney is, after all, a fellow acolyte of socialism.

Ill not support the GOP’s socialist nominee (almost nominee), even if the media trashes (sort of) him.

I dont do knee jerk, I do carefully thought out.

If the media wants to trash their best chance at beating limited government conservatives then I say more power to em...

I think its kinda ironic that the “team mentality” that drives some conservatives to support their own undoing also drives a lot of socialists to instinctively work against their best chance of finally defeating organized opposition to socialism in this country.

So IF romney actually makes it out of the convention as the nominee, It will be because so many in the GOP are blinded by D -vs- R and cannot see that they are now supporting their own demise. A president romney will still be a socialist and the gop will offer no opposition to his agenda. And any opposition the GOP conservatives do muster will be shutdown by dem socialists coming over to work with their ideological brothers and sisters in the gop. The limited government anti-socialist/statist conservatives will be homeless after this. You cant fight a war, much less win one, without a place to launch your attacks from. This is ALL right there to see. You dont even need a crystal ball. If the dem socialists support romney they will ultimatum win.

The ONLY hope we have is that the idiots on the democrat side are just as blinded by the same “team” mentality that they cannot see romney as their greatest weapon against us. This time around I will take great pleasure in the predictable media attacks on the GOP candidate. I will also take advantage of the fact that folks like me will make a HUGE impact on this election because we can swing (in my case, Wisconsin) away from romney fairly easily. The GOP better not underestimate this, and they better take this seriously. Our fight is NOT against the democrats its against socialism/statism so there will be NO hesitation in working against the GOP candidate should they nominate a socialist.

How do we avoid this? Brokered convention and choose a candidate that’s not a socialist. Take this as a plea for sanity rather than a threat, but know that if the GOP chooses the unthinkable and nominates a socialist there will be no going back. We will part ways for this election. The GOP will be fighting not only the dems to stupid to realize romney and the GOPe are on their side, but folks like me as well, and there are enough of us who are determined enough to make sure some needed states dont go his way.

Not to condone the MSNBC/Andrea Mitchell distortion, but I think it’s safe to say that Mitt Romney does not frequent WAWAs. that said, I’m sure he’s familiar with touch screens.

Talk about body language:
Sarah, awe, isn’t that nice.
Andrea, you b*tch, you don’t deserve the cover!

“Unloved” and “unhappy” go together. (I’d forgotten about Alan Greenspan ... *shudder*.)

It just dawned on me.

Has anybody seen Helen Thomas and Andrea Mitchell in the same room?

I really hate these people.

WaWa's are amazing, clean and scarily efficient. I am always impressed at their efficient turn over of customers that come thru the doors of the one near me. There can be 30 people in the store and there is never a line to wait for or pour a coffee, hardly a line at the register or a line waiting for your sandwich order.

The gubmint could take a lesson or two from whoever it is that run's and manages this chain.

And - Angrier Mitchell? Her hate and bitterness shines thru her work.

The look on Andrea Mitchell’s face as she is looking at Palin is one of loathing.

It reminds me of a line in the movie Titanic, as Rose recounts: "Mother looked at him like he was a bug."

Never heard of Wawa. Is that a sandwich made by Barbara Wawa?

It's not a terrible mistake, but let's not make up stories about it.

Right --->

Dan Quayle's "Potatoe" Incident

"Working from an inaccurate flash card prepared by a teacher..."

Who's making up stories? The fact that the card Quayle was handed had it spelled incorrectly was never ever mentioned in the press's relenless hectoring of Quayle over the silly goof.

I think you may want to rethink who among us is deluded...

Which one of us is supporting a socialist in the belief that he is going to save you from a socialist?

Its a rhetorical question, I know you wont get it. Its more for the benefit of those who do really... As is your inevitable reply, which I eagerly await.
