We Just Witnessed The Media’s Test Run To Re-Elect Barack Obama
Legal Insurrection ^ | 1/20/2011 | William Jacobson

Posted on 11/30/2011 8:11:58 AM PST by Lakeshark

If Republicans want to know exactly what not to do to win in 2012, then follow advice similar to that offered by David Frum as to why Sarah Palin should “stop talking now” about the false accusations that she was responsible for the Tucson shooting:
**snip**
It does not matter whether you support Palin for President, whether you think she is electable, or even whether you like her. This is not about Palin, it is about the mainstream media’s desire to have Barack Obama re-elected at any cost and to take down any Republican candidate who stands in the way.

I am reposting this for the following reason: This article was written to warn or remind all conservatives and TEA party patriots of how the MSM works. Slander, lie, innuendo against any of our candidates that might take down Obama in 2012. Yes, it's about Sarah Palin, but it's also about Hermann Cain, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann and every other conservative candidate we have. Whoever is the front runner or whoever wins will get this treatment, no one will be immune from this kind of attack. Rush reads the article very well, and gives us the warning we all need to heed.

We need to remember this. It's how liberals operate to destroy us. And that's what they want to do, destroy us and our hopes.

Your list was of conservatives. So I removed Newt Mexico.

And I do tend to take everything David Frum says with more than one grain of salt, as do a large number of people in this forum.

Too, liberals aren't the only ones trying to destroy our hopes. Beltway Republicans and GOP "insiders" are trying to do the same thing, to put the Tea Party at the back of the bus where they think we belong.

The media does this during the primary to shape the
opposition into something that can be defeated during
the main event. This is the Chicago way applied to
national politics. Obama has a history of doing this,
destroy your opponent before the race even begins.

this is why of those still running, Gingrich may give us the best chance- he will think nothing of calling out the bias in the criminal liberal media and doing it in a way the independents who voted obozo into office can understand it...

The article explains that very well, Rush amplifies the same thought at the end of his rant.

If Obama's MO remains consistant, Gingrich can look forward to having his divorce records unsealed by a friendly judge and raw unsworn testimony splayed out before the nation.

Obama and his team are dog squeeze on the sole of the nation.

It’s not written by Frum and he gets slammed. BTW, Newt Gingrich was the first Conservative lied about and smeared by the demonic-rats and lamestream or perhaps you’ve forgotten about the Gingrich who Stold Christmas?

Well sh!t. Let's not take this lying down.

Let's organize our Tea Parties and storm the major media headquarters.

Camp on their sidewalks. Beat drums. Play loud music.

It's our right to assemble. Let's exercise it!

The leftists/Marxists/Communists/Islamists have gotten control of the US and do not intend to relinquish it. They will do anything to retain power. If the smears, innuendo, unsealed court records, false witnesses don't get the job done, they will move on to even more dirty and radical tactics. I expect that absolutely nothing is off the table in Obama strategy sessions.

I have yet to see any slander, lie or innuendo beign brought against (a-hem) Romney.

And gee, I wonder why?

I’m still on the Cain Train myself. F the MSM!

LOL.

Unfortunately most of us on this side work and have responsibilities......

But I love the concept. Maybe we can fool some of the cretins from OWS to move in front of the media centers and give them our signs to hold up.

Thanks for re-posting. Two comments: 1. One only has to review the now saga of Herman Cain, in addition to the irresponsible demonization of Palin following the Tucson shooting, to see that not one other GOP candidate rose to his defense, so the message is stark, loud and clear that the RNC and the right are weaker than ever and blood is in the water.

And 2. Professor William Jacobson who authored the piece was called on recently to comment on the purposeful removal of Supreme Court case law on who is a natural born citizen from the Internet site Justia.com before the 2008 election. The professor who is an expert on case law authentication, all of a sudden has been quieted on virtually all such matters. Reminiscent of turnabouts by Judges Carter and Lamberth. They will stop at nothing.

Ever so, ever so weird! I NEVER see any criticism of the intellectual dishonesty of the LibMSM in any place except Right-of-Center web sites and sometimes Fox: preaching to the converted! Since the LibMSM WILL NOT carry honest reporting, why does the GOP just sit back and do nothing? Advertising? Commercials? Talking Heads broadcast live? Something? Anything? Crickets.
