NewsBusters ^ | 9/20/10 | Kyle Drennen

Following a report on Monday's CBS Early Show that slammed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell for comments she made on Bill Maher's 'Politically Incorrect' in the 1990s, co-host Maggie Rodriguez suggested O'Donnell's response: "Well, she could do what Sarah Palin has done and which has worked so beautifully for Sarah Palin, and that is to play media victim." Rodriguez made the comment to political analyst John Dickerson, who added: "That's right. And the victim card is one that Sarah Palin has played, Rand Paul has done the same thing. It's a bit of a time-honored technique and

What she should actually reply is that anybody who takes anything said on Mahar’s show seriously probably should not have the right to vote.

Is she going to play the next victim of the blogosphere? It’s a time honored technique, Dan Rather played it, not to mention Barack(”I can’t walk around with my birth certificate pasted to my forehead”)Obama.

Even then the most the MSM should get from her is a level stare and a silent turn of the head to people worth having discussions with.

Nothing freezes a media-type like being ignored.

attack and put down said person.

said person says knock it off and tell the truth then we say said person playing victim and tell more lies.

That is how the left and the media which are one of the same play .

It is disgusting, it is sick, it is intolerant iwht a lot of hate.

The left will always call people names to take away from what they’re doing. Sadly there are still many dopey idiots out there who still do not understand at how much the Dems and the media are wiht their hate, intolerance, and bigotry

“Well, she could do what Sarah Palin has done and which has worked so beautifully for Sarah Palin, and that is to play media victim.”

What infuriates the MSM more than anything is it’s inability to make Palin a victim. Systematic victimization is how the MSM turns Republicans into RINOs, and Palin doesn’t fall for it.

The idiots in the media would love to keep the focus on a non-issue.
O’Donnell must ignore the media as Palin did and press ahead on the REAL issue. COONS and his record.
The media has had fun for the 72 hour cycle. Now CO must redirect the cameras to Coons record. They will disappear like cockroaches at daylight.

We need a different name for media. They are not journalists. They are no longer necessary. We have other means of getting our message out

Will Rodriguez continue to play Hispanic Victim which is what led to her having a national job in the first place?

On her own abilities she'd be a radio announcer in San Juan and not much else

Just imagine if the media had focused on Obama’s terrorist associations as much as they are focused on Christine O’Donnell..Obama would never have made it out of the primary

the media and the likes of OR are getting pissed off that she is not appearing on their national shows so they can rip her to bits.

Well big crap if she did witch craft at high school for a little time, big deal if she has had money problems.

We the voters don’t live in an elitist bubble, we understand that poeple do stupid tings at school and have had money problems, what we want to know is how she will vote and will she represent us.

I think so , now get a grip media your hate for any beautiful republican woman is getting , no has got out of hand now

Barry O. is STILL playing the victim card. We oppose Obamunism, a new socialist order of big government with much in common with earlier examples of incremental socialist tyranny.

I don't think the Palin comparison flies because Palin did not play the victim card to win an election(she hasn't run for anything since governor) , but Hillary did play victim for Senate against Rick Lazio 2000 and it worked(they wont mention that) .

The victim card is a two edge sword, it can just make a woman candidate look weak if not defended against correctly.

The McCain ‘Lipstick on a Pig’ attempt backfired on him.
