Bozell: Trump Is a 'Shameless Self-Promoter' and 'Huckster'
Newsmax ^ | January 22, 2016 | Sandy Fitzgerald

...

"We have to come to our senses collectively," Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, told Fox News' Martha MacCallum on the "America's Newsroom" program. "There is fury, absolute fury against Washington for years of betrayal, especially from the Republican establishment. I share in that. I don't think there is anybody that has been more furious than I have been, but you just can't tap into that and into that vein and pretend that you are going to do something about it when in fact you have a record, a real record of being the opposite on everything."

Doesn't matter to his supporters. Cruz, Levin, Rush, Sowell and now Bozell are all GOPE hacks now.

Well I like Brent Bozell but he and I are going down different paths on this one.

Dude, the more of this stuff you post, the more you're turning people off. There are 10 or so of you folks who do this non-stop anti-Trump posting. You remind us of spastic cartoon characters.

Here's a little truth for you: these stories are not going to turn Trump supporters against him.

Why is it you won't post any pro-Cruz stories?

Your desperation is crystal clear.


That's something I don't quite understand, either. Anyone who knows something about human nature realizes that you persuade people with positivity, not negativity. Yet we get continue to get these stories - most from the same people - that scream "See?? See?? Trump's terrible!! He's terrible!!" Thinking that this will somehow win people to the Cruz side.

It's just like the posters who insult and mock those who disagree with them, hoping that this will somehow win them over to their side.

Noted collectivist Brent Bozell is clearly NOT a TRUE conservative because he espouses collectivist thinking. I know I sound stupid because I am purposefully doping so. The gang of 22 all sound this stupid. Trumps Juan Peron because the 22 said so - wtf?

I watched Bozell and three other of these NRO yahoos on Megyn Kelly last night and was absolutely stunned at the vapidness and duplicity of their attacks against Trump. Most repeated the mantra over and over again that conservationism was all about “principles and ideas”, but not a single time did they mention anything about ACTING to do anything with those “principles and ideas”.

Much of what they said was simply false or ridiculous, like one comment about Trump destroying “centuries” of conservative “ideas and principles”. Multiple times they indicated that Trump was unfit because he hadn’t spent decades “paying his dues” or “honing” his conservatism. They attacked Trump for positions held decades ago and at the same time dismissed that same issue regarding Reagan’s evolution. The most outrageous accusation was that Trump was a “strong man” who “wanted the trains to run one time”, a not-veiled-at-all reference equating Trump to Mussolini.

These people were truly pathetic and their absolute fear, panic, and hatred of Trump could be practically seen oozing out of very pore.

Clearly, these people are frightened that they and their ilk will become completely irrelevant when Trump is elected President. It was clear that they feared and loathed Trump FAR more than Hillary or any other Democrat. It was also clear that they are totally out of touch with the outrage in the GOP electorate as a consequence of the GOP elite winning both Congressional Houses and not doing a damn thing to stop any portion of Obama’s agenda.

This really looked like a last gasp by the old guard to put on a full court attack one last time before Trump actually starts winning primaries.

As far as I’m concerned these people are traitors and liars and they don’t give a damn about conservatism or our country. They only care about themselves. Personally, I was completely outraged at how these people pretended like they are the great keepers of THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES and pretty much anyone who supports Trump is an uneducated yahoo.

(Also, my impression was that Kelly was actually subtly on Trump’s side as her questions really seemed to be designed to give these Trump-haters substantial amounts of rope to hang themselves with, which they they proceeded to do with great gusto. There’s been a significant shift at Fox News these last few days since Rupert Murdoch made a positive tweet about Donald Trump. Looks like Rupert, like so many others, have concluded that Trump is going to win the Presidency and they’re trying to get on Trump’s good side before it’s too late.)

More importantly, we must not forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

I definitely think these guys are trying to protect their turf.

They do not want trump in their swimming pool, and they never have. I do not buy for even one second this whole establishment is warming up to trump thing people are pushing. I think someone is trying to engage in a little reverse psychology there.

I think that they are trying whatever the Hell they can think of to try and change the direction of this primary, and they can’t.

In fact, at this point I am starting to have suspicions that Cruz is a stealth establishment candidate. Maybe I’m wrong about that, I don’t know, but my suspicions are growing.

They were more than happy when Trump took out the other contenders, but Trump was supposed to sit back and let Ted win and keep up his “I don’t attack meme”.

Trump attacks to your face, Cruz is more sneaky in backrooms with donors and using PACs and some radio heads to do the dirty work.

The Trump phenomenon is indeed straight out of Eric Hoffer's The True Believer; and Cruz's proselytizing religion is one of the main examples of a mass movement Hoffer used throughout the book.

I respect Brent Bozell he’s a pioneer against the liberal media. However, he, like nearly every other right-wing commentator, has had little effect in 20+ years in actually changing the country.

I can guarantee you most of the anti-Trump crowd here and elsewhere are one way or another connected to the government machine. One way or another on the government payroll or connected to someone who is.

What was the outrageous estimate of those employed/connected to government teet at all levels? 15 million? 25 million?

They have no desire to see their gravy train leave the station.
