NAACP report…
One tea bag panicked the NAACP, so you can imagine that the mere thought of hundreds of thousands of people agreeing with Tea Party principles made it easy for the group to publish a “report” linking the Tea Party to various extremist groups.
Lloyd Marcus gives it the short shrift it merits, as does Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin’s site. Not even the WaPo’s Dana Milbank, after an obligatory poke at Ginni Thomas, seems too excited by it.
The report’s authors are very left-wing, and the report is essentially their interpretation of things. For example, the Minutemen are characterized as an “anti-immigrant vigilante” group.
Democrats campaigning…
You must watch Rep. Jim Moran claiming that his opponent’s 24 years in the Army don’t count as public service. You won’t see the video discussed in MSM, which is frantically trying to promote the Democrat’s new meme that any Republican is extreme. Politico.com just flat-out lied about Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin, and getting caught in the lie is what should happen to those using unnamed sources.
Obama is in full cry about the meanness and stupidity of those who disagree with him, and whining about distrust and fear, while Sarah Palin is outed as really smart by no less than liberal rock star John Mellencamp. You know it’s bad when foreign press notes the nasty anti-American tone of Obama and his fellow Dems. Elsewhere, Democrats are using third-party candidates to draw off potential Republican votes.
Scant media attention is being paid to desperate Democrats abandoning their pledges to voters, and no where nearly enough to Democratic candidates accidentally saying what they really think, like Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, or Harry Reid assuming credit for saving us from a world-wide depression. Others are frantically digging for anything which could conceivably be turned into dirt. If all else fails, just demonize, then demoralize. Or you can be Joe Biden and laughably lie.
Union bosses have fired a worker for wearing a George H.W. Bush sweatshirt at an Obama rally, despite the garment referencing the navy ship his son serves on, not the president.
If you don’t think Republicans are likely to take a big number of seats, peruse this ABC News piece pondering whether His Oneness would be better off if Democrats lose Congress. But Dems can rest secure that most media outlets will report so as to put a Republican opp9onent in the worst possible light, as done with Stephen Broden here by inferring he advocates the violent overthrow of the government. He doesn’t, but in speaking of our Founders he accurately said it was the last option for them. Would you be astonished to learn Broden is running against Eddie Bernice Johnson, currently under investigation for giving Congressional Black Caucus scholarship money to her family? Another example is of Fiorina, here. You won’t see many stories lauding Republican candidates unless they’ve done something extraordinary, while stories such as Steny Hoyer punching his opponent in the back never make headlines
