Get Lost, You Palace-Guard Creeps

As the week ended, Obama's palace guard in the American media were demanding that every other Republican candidate distance himself from Donald Trump's failure to correct, among thousands of attendees at his events, one who apparently is under the illusion that the President is a Muslim.

Any candidate who plays this game with the Obamamedia is a fool. Assuming for the sake of argument that the questioner is genuine and not a plant (like, say, the 14-year old all-American schoolboy clockmaker who didn't make a clock at all and is the son of a belligerent Muslim activist and perennial Sudanese presidential candidate whose brother runs a trucking company amusingly called Twin Towers Transportation), putting all of that to one side, there are several entirely reasonable responses one could make to the gentlemen of the press:

...under the illusion that the President is a Muslim.

Well, I have no such illusion.

The pos is...at the very least...a sympathizer to the point of detriment to the United States of America.

So...practicing muslim or not, he's a damned traitor and has publicly stated that he would stand with islam.

So, there it is.

Mark Steyn is as sarcastic as they come.

True, however, he usually makes it quite evident that he is utilizing sarcasm.

Instapundit calls the press “Democratic operatives with a byline.”

I see your point and I didn’t like his choice of words either.

I bet there is a lot more to this non story as other posters believe.

There were a few suspicious looking people in the audience that I noticed and thought were plants.

There have been several people that have brought up that possibility. It, of course, is not beyond the realm of possibility for sure. Question is, who supplied the plant, if indeed he was, the GOPe or the Demorats? Both are certainly capable of such underhandedness.

One thing I don’t recall seeing is the possibility that the press put him there to create this non story.

Think Tomorrow Never Dies when the Carver Media Group drills a hole in the Russian submarine in the South China Sea to create front page news that goes on forever.

Yeah, you’re right, they are a third possibility and it’s not beyond them doing it too. My money is on the GOPe though. I can’t believe how much I distrust them anymore. They have lost all credibility in my eyes.

I don’t trust them either.

People like John McCain, Mitch and Boehner ruined it.

They’ve got blood on their hands.

All over the world.

Sounds like even Styne has had it with the perennially outraged fairies in the news media.

What people don’t credit is that, in Obama’s Stalinist stylebook, “Christian” and “Caucasian” are adjectives in the past tense.

That wasn’t sarcasm. Steyn thinks Obama is an atheist with Muslim sympathies but not an actual Muslim.

Actually, Trump's going to be a relatively easy takedown the way I see it.

Then be prepared for at least TWO parties to knocking at your door to get your expertise!

I’m sorry but until the Establishment media calls to task every Democrat from Harry Reid to Joe Biden for their habitual hate speech directed at the Tea Party and other Conservatives groups, they have no moral standing what so ever to lecture anyone about “inflammatory rhetoric”.
