Times, Newsweek Hit O'Donnell, Skip Coons Record
American Spectator ^ | 9-30-2010 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 10/01/2010 8:39:23 AM PDT by MarkLevinFan

The Left Wing Media Machinus Maximus once more trundles the old rusty guns into place and starts firing…sort of. These old cannons date back to at least the late 1940s.

Let's run the list.

1966: Ronald Reagan runs for Governor of California.

RESPONSE: Reagan is accused of being an extremist, a nut, a member of the John Birch Society, an idiot, stupid, dumb a Fascist and a racist.

1988: Dan Quayle is nominated for vice president by the GOP.

RESPONSE: Quayle is accused of being not very bright, dumb, an air-head, a fool, a draft-dodger.

2004: Dick Cheney is re-nominated for vice-president.

RESPONSE: Cheney is accused of being a right-wing fanatic who wants to blow up the world, evil, a habitual liar, a Fascist, a Nazi and a racist.

2008: Sarah Palin is nominated for vice president.

RESPONSE: Palin is accused of being dumb, stupid, a right-wing crazy, and idiot and a fool.

2010: Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Joe Miller, and now Christine O'Donnell are all nominated in upsets of conservatives over the GOP Establishment.

RESPONSE: All are accused of being wackos, idiots, extremists, dumb, crazy and more.

Today, the New York Times runs a hit piece on Christine O'Donnell painting her as a "perennial protest candidate" and "provocateur," and slams her for not catering to the national media (hmmm.) Newsweek discusses her "notoriety."

This after a campaign in which Ms. O'Donnell has been pictured as…you guessed it…a nut, a slut, an idiot, dumb, a witch, a fool, crazy as a bedbug etc.

And…oh yes… Bill Maher openly tries to blackmail O'Donnell with a threat to run old clips from a failed TV show unless she does what he wants -- come on his show.

Does anyone notice something peculiar here?

The pattern is transparent and clear. If you’re a conservative running for office, you will be attacked by the Lib media. Christine O’Donnell is learning that up close and personal.

Republicans who deal with the media should openly mock them and treat them as hostile. Gov Christie’s method of dealing with Teachers Union flunkies shows how to turn the tables on biased opponents.

“slams her for not catering to the national media (hmmm.)”

Conservatives need to quit making themselves targets by granting interviews with the big three networks, CNN, etc., and should point out that no one is watching anyway.

Last time I checked, Newsweak had an asking price of $5.95 at newsstands.

A few weeks ago, the entire rag sold for $1.00.

That means the whole operation is worth only about 1/6 of the cover price for just one copy of only one edition.

After reading this article, even an idiot knows why.

Without the onslaught directed at President George W. Bush, "the list" is rather irrelevant.

Pretending that President George W. Bush never existed or that he was the target of the most vile, vicious, malicious and dangerous attacks ever directed at a sitting President -- from both sides of the isle -- is disgusting and is not helpful to the cause. The fact these attacks took place during war time and a sad point in our history, makes it all the more abhorrent.

I think that we can safely say at this point that Liberals are sexist against women who believe in personal strength and the pursuit of Liberty.

If you are a woman who hates yourself and believes in near total Government control then you are A-Ok.

Otherwise... you’re just a stupid slut.

Progressivism: Being open-minded to everything except things that you disagree with.

I’m sure both people who read Time and Newsweek will be pleased.

Ditto to this. Also Conservative should demand a retraction if anything good is ever said about them by the MSM. Rush is right, these new electi will be slaughtered in the press. I urge them to wear it like a medal.

Yes, but that statement alone does not explain all conservatives (Palin, Haley, O’D, Angle, Paul, Angle,.....) taking flak from the ‘right side’.

Plenty on the ‘right side’ also called these stupid sluts.
