A political party controls the United States Congress. That party holds congressional hearings on whether a Vice Presidential candidate sneaked on board an SR-71 Blackbird, flew to Spain to negotiate the delayed release of American hostages, and threw the election.
That conspiracy theory was Gary Sick’s. He postulated that then Vice Presidential candidate George H. W. Bush sneaked on board an SR-71 Blackbird, flew at supersonic speed to Spain, and convinced the Iranians to not release American hostages until after Ronald Reagan was elected. The year was 1980. Bush was not even an elected anything at the time.
Congressional Democrats took this so seriously they actually held hearings on it. They held the hearings over a decade later, when Bush had become President.
But the media doesn’t like to talk about how the Democrat Party has been and is led by a group of crazies. Instead, they want to talk about the GOP. According to the Politico, in what amounts to an opinion piece on the news page, the GOP is led by a bunch of fringe people.
In other words, the White House can create a special position for Van Jones, a 9/11 Truther, but the GOP cannot raise hell about what the Democrats are doing to health care in America.
And who does the Politico solicit from the GOP side for agreement with their premise? A bunch of liberals.
Mark McKinnon, who loves Obama and wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him during the general election, thinks the GOP is led by “crackpots.”
Same with John Weaver who took his marbles home (those he had not lost) because people wouldn’t listen to him. He became a Democrat anyway.
Vin Webber. Good grief.
Brian Jones, formerly of the RNC, who is a McCain loyalist.
About the only person who is not riddled with self-loathing and thus competent to weigh in on the matter is Senator Cornyn, who said, “Anybody can say what they want, they can identify themselves as a Democrat, independent, a Republican, a socialist or whatever they want to call themselves. That doesn’t mean they were representative of a political party or the mainstream of a political party.”
Precisely. The Politico spends its time trying to connect Birthers to the legitimate party apparatus despite everyone from Ann Coulter to me ridiculing them. The Politico never spent its time giving equivalent exposure to the “Impeach Bush” efforts in leftist bastions across the country, the crazy conspiracies that the left treated as mainstream, etc.
This just means we’re winning.

I saw this on Politico...
bkeyser Friday, September 11th at 10:09AM EST (link)and as I’m reading it, I had to scroll back up to see if this was labeled an opinion piece. Once I saw it was on their news section- I clicked away. What a piece of garbage.
I’m not sure why Politico continues to get a pass on their bias- but I think its for that reason that its becoming more and more overt.
It isn't just Politico, it's also ABC
The_Rebel (Diary) Friday, September 11th at 10:19AM EST (link)Remember when Cindy Sheehan camped out in Crawford, TX when President
Bush was on vacation. Well, Charlie Gibson interviewed her and said she was “standing her ground”:

But when Obama went on vacation to Martha’s Vineyard and was going to be protested there by Cindy Sheehan, Gibson in an interview said “enough already”. Quite a contrast from “standing her ground”.
But we won one today. John Stossel announced yesterday that he will be leaving ABC in a month and will be joining FoxNews as a contributor, and will have a weekly one hour prime time show on the Fox Business Channel.
I’m just surprised it took Stossel so long to switch.
Good for John Stossel! He never was a comfortable
janis (Diary) Friday, September 11th at 11:47AM EST (link)fit in a nest of vipers like ABC. I give him kudos for hanging in there as long as he did. Bet he doesn’t get a lot of high-fives after one of his reports around the water-cooler the next day.
The only reason I’ll be sorry to see him leave ABC is that he was such a thorn in their side while he was there. Now there will be no dissenting voices there. Which will make them just exactly as bad as the other liberal media organs.
Kos without the F*
Robert A. Hahn (Diary) Friday, September 11th at 11:21AM EST (link)Politico is nothing more than Daily Kos without the F-word, pretending to be a nest of professional journalists. How they keep up this charade when their content marks them as just another liberal blog is a mystery to me.

IJB Friday, September 11th at 11:24AM EST (link)I treat Politco like I do Salon.com
Richard Mullins (Diary) Friday, September 11th at 11:38AM EST (link)with contempt. I already didn’t like Salon.com for their treatment of Henry Hyde and I don’t like Politco for this. The are an excuse to real journalism(what is that anyway when the Forth estate is run by organizations like Hearst and McClatchy). They are stain on the carpet.

Let’s Bankrupt the Democratic paty. Make spend all the money to defend thier candidates.
I'm more than a little sick of how
Richard Mullins (Diary) Friday, September 11th at 11:32AM EST (link)leaders in the Republican party handling the issue with Joe Wilson’s remark. It was correct and he did apologize for where he did it. Other than that, Joe Wilson was right. We need to send Mr. Boehner and Mr Cantor a lot of emails telling them how appalled with how they tried to distance themselve from the truth. Distancing themselves like that only makes the Dems stronger. It’s just not right to leave our guys in the ditch.
P.S. I think it high time to make a concerted effort to call on the chairwomen of the South Carolina Democratic Party to resign immediately. There was absolutely no reason to call Mr Wilson an Embarrassment to her state. Also, the Democratic candidate for SC-2 needs to give up on his campaign and return all monies raised after the comment. It never right at any time to do so.

Oh well, I don’t to apologize for that. I also noticed that I wasn’t the only one on wordpress that thinks that way.
