At the end of panel discussion, just before 7:30 PM EST Tuesday night about conservative opposition to John McCain, CNN analyst Roland Martin recognized his next comment -- about how only “extremists” in the GOP afraid of losing power are opposed to McCain -- might well upset conservatives and so cited NewsBusters in putting a warning up front:
I have something for NewsBusters.org for tomorrow. These are the extremists of the party who want to continue to hold on to their power. The bottom line is you're losing it. Your party is changing. Deal with it.
That was the last word of the segment.
Martin appeared with Republican analysts Leslie Sanchez and Amy Holmes, in a discussion segment moderated by Lou Dobbs since the campaign coverage came during the normal time for Lou Dobbs Tonight.

Immediately before Martin's remark, Amy Holmes asserted:
In fairness to John McCain, his voting record, he get an over 80 percent rating from the American Conservative Union. So in his voting record he is a steady ally of the conservative movement.

February 13, 2008 - 11:56 ET by ChrisMillsCongrats NewsBusters! Martin's mention of you not only proved your point about liberalism in the media (at least for Martin), but it also got you free advertising. Just think of all the libs who were exposed to this reference, typed your address into their web browser and were exposed to all your hard evidence of liberal bias. The evidence might be too overwhelming to ignore, even for people with blinders on...

Roland martin; I wish you
February 12, 2008 - 22:52 ET by ziplinedownRoland martin; I wish you ill. IMO extremist is a term used to define someone with radical beliefs that often are not backed up by facts, kind of like global warming alarmists. To label NB and its readers as extremists is rediculous, people here live on facts, often to a point where it seems petty to point them all out. It is his turn to gloat because McCain is on top right now, but not for long
"give me a break!" - John Stossel
To be fair to Martin

That's the point, Matthew
February 12, 2008 - 23:23 ET by RJIs it any better that Martin called NB posters "extremists" because they dislike McCain?
RJ... Bingo. Thank
February 12, 2008 - 23:26 ET by bigtimerRJ...
Bingo.
Thank you...I was yelling at Roland...as I usually do when he talks anyway.
Umm you "wish him ill"
February 13, 2008 - 16:55 ET by KeithUmm you "wish him ill" simply because he disagrees with you politically? Perhaps that's what he means by EXREMIST! Jeez! I've had a running dialog with Martin going for a while now, where I've criticized everything from his intelligence to his wife's ridiculous claim to be a "minister" contrary to the bible which states that women cannot BE ministers, but I certainly don't "wish him ill". Not that your wishes amount to anything at all in the world, but I do hope you rethink that.
Who cares what McCain's lifetime conservative record is?

John McCain Needs to Make a "Contract with Conservatives"
February 12, 2008 - 23:09 ET by PopularTechI had no idea being anti-Amnesty, anti-Carbon Taxes, anti-Closing Gitmo and being pro-tax cuts was extremist? I always thought it was realistic.
John McCain needs to make a "Contract with Conservatives" and sign the following:
1. I will not raise ANY Taxes and will make the Bush Tax Cuts permanent.
2. I will not sign ANY amnesty legislation or comprehensive immigration reform bills and will Veto all that are brought before me.
3. I will not implement or sign any Carbon Taxes, Cap-and-Trade legislation or any other economic crippling measures based on AGW global warming fantasy.
4. I will not close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp or move any of it's occupants to the United States where they can receive legal defense from groups such as the ACLU.
We need it in writing. Do this John McCan and we can begin to talk.

McCain did say...
February 13, 2008 - 00:44 ET by PopularTechHe would build the goddamn fence if we really wanted it. I believe he can be talked into certain things, it is the other points which I am very concerned about and getting him to sign something would make it incredibly hard to get out of it. He really does want to be president bad enough and you would think making deals with conservatives would be nothing compared to all the BS he sold his soul to with the Democrats. My only other option is to vote libertarian or write-in for President. Which I will do as I voted for Perot in 96.
Conservatives have McCain by the balls if he wants any chance of getting elected.
The Anti 'Man-Made' Global Warming Resource
do you not notice the out,
February 13, 2008 - 01:00 ET by Conservative Voicedo you not notice the out, if we really wanted it. He isn't going to build it. He still is counting on the anti-Democrat vote to carry him. Which is why I hope he doesn't pick a conservative to go down with him, because he is going to lose...so at this point, I hope Hillary is going to win...she is the better choice of the four candidates running.
Obama is an empty suit, but America is in LaLa land where symbolism is more important than substance.
Republicans won't fight againt Huck or McCain when they turn left.
But with Hillary there will be gridlock for her time in office, and that is what I am hoping for. Let there be gridlock until we get a conservative in office!

The USS John McCain
February 13, 2008 - 09:12 ET by BritcomHe can sign that and I still won't vote for him. This guy is a disaster looking for a place to happen and he can't win the GE because independents don't trust him either. Only the Dems like him because they think he looks like a cooked goose ready to eat. The GOP only comprises one-third of the electorate. There are many Republicans who think McCain has earned his spot at the head of the GOP ticket. There aren't any independents who care what kind of respect McCain gets in the GOP. They are looking for a strong leader. McCain doesn't fit that bill, he looks and sounds like an old battleship ready for the mothballs.

9. I will not pander to those who do not have the legal right to be in this country - especially those who have publically declared the desire to kill us.

February 12, 2008 - 23:10 ET by c5thenIt's the populists/moderates in the Republican party who are trying to hold on to power by putting forth a candidate, John McCain, who they think the media will be OK with. It seems to be working. The true conservatives are the ones talking about not voting or a grass roots write-in campaign so they can maintain their self-respect.

When the liberal uses
February 12, 2008 - 23:48 ET by EdhenryWhen the liberal uses lables (this time "extremists") they do it because they don't have facts or reason. They lose. Oh sure it sounds powerful: a dismissive label. But is rings hollow and eliminates the person from long term dialogue.
This guy on CNN is just not very smart. GOP has gone through cadidates of varying degress of conservatism. Ford, the Reagan. Bush 41, then Dole. Sometimes the right conservative isn't the right candidate.
I feel sorry for those who have to watch these shows. But keep it up, we need to expose the obvious bias and misinformation.
I find it interesting
February 12, 2008 - 23:38 ET by FastEdthat only "conservatives" are changing - there are some changes going on over on the left side of the aisle, so much so, the "lady" needs to have her husband pull the race card, because she was the candidate to be! - Must be sitting well with the fems, having her hubby do the 'hard work', being the frail little woman, while the folks of color are wondering if she should step aside, and do what she's been saying WE should do.
So I guess we should "deal with it", and watch what happens when the REAL questions start being asked.

Let me get this straight ...
February 13, 2008 - 00:00 ET by drillanwrThe conservative branch of the republican party is either opposed to, arguing with, or trying to positively persuade the obvious GOP runner John McCain to giving them a good real reason to vote for him ... and they're extremists ...
However, the BHO followers are acting like doped-up, drunken groupies backstage of a "no hit wonder" media created superstar who isn't any deeper than a shot glass, and all he has to offer them are the songs he sings on stage in front of them ... that somebody else has written for him ... and they're screwed on straight???

Roland, you are correct.
February 13, 2008 - 00:12 ET by R D HelmYour party is changing. Deal with it.
We "extremist" conservatives are dealing with it, Roland. We are not voting for John McCain in droves.
What you, a committed left-wing socialist, do not realize is that we true conservatives are a principled crowd. We cast votes based on our convictions, not on the whims of the "flavor of the month" crowd, of which you and your ilk are clearly members of.
Of course, you are a socialist, and, like most of your socialist brethren, you have no real principles to speak of, other than going with the flow no matter where it might lead, as long as it moves further and further leftward. As such, it is little wonder that you are totally clueless when it comes to understanding what we conservatives are proclaiming by our non-support of a liberal presidential candidate, no matter their party affiliation.
BTW-When Neswcorp eventually up and buys out your employer, the Clinton News Network, lock, stock, and barrel in the not too distant future, if you pucker up just so and plant rather carefully, maybe they will allow you to stick around as the door greeter.

Roland Martin's lips are moving so it must be wrong
February 13, 2008 - 00:17 ET by Lame CherryI was smiling at how high priced Roland Martin's expert advice is when the essence of his input was the party has changed from extremists......but it is the extremist majority which John McCain needs to win with.
I really hope CNN cruises these blogs as someone there really needs to get more bang for their buck..............Martin is so out of touch that he doesn't even get it that NEWSBUSTERS is THEE NAME that everyone recognizes like John Wayne..........you don't need to say John Wayne movie actor.
I do believe though his comments were more fitting for Hamrod Clinton in it is her extremism which the party is rejecting for an Obama who seems to not want to hand out rebates, wants to fight wars in first strike and wants a united America...........
Ooops that sound allot like Republican Conservative positions:)
Perhaps Obama is an extremist too of the vast right wing conspiracy.

February 13, 2008 - 03:23 ET by jcrapes4I was going to say I don't feel like an extremist but if you asked my liberal Democrat friends they might have a different opinion. What I really did not understand one in the group is more conservative Democrat voting Obama so perhaps the tax code will change to better support small business. I still can't wrap my head around that logic.

February 13, 2008 - 07:49 ET by NavyBuckeyewe are few in numbers as compared to the mainstream American. We do our research, we study on the issues, and we base our ideals on our own morals and rationale thought. The mainstream American, wich makes up about 60% of this country are mindless sheeple who follow the MSM shepherd blindlessly into the abyss. This is why BHO is gaining a mass following without even discussing an issue. He just has to utter the word change and people start looking like the creatures from "Night Of The Living Dead". Mouths open and arms out they follow and like the plague they gain in numbers as they engulf thoses around them.
I voted yesterday in Virginia. In the last three elections I have never seen so many black Americans in line to vote. My wife is an Obam supporter and she is one of those creatures. She said it is a good thing that the minorities are voting. I agreed but added they are voting for BHO for the wrong reason. They are voting based on his skin color and not on his political standpoints. She agreed but said that doesn't matter. The clueless are gaining in numbers as the educated dwindle.......oh this poor nation.

February 13, 2008 - 11:42 ET by NavyBuckeyeInteresting is not the word. Lately we have had many heated arguments on issues. Funny thing is they usually end in her saying the same punch lines. The punch lines are ones I once thougth were only rabble barked out by Limbaugh and such..
"Those are your truths, there are two truths to everything"
"You are being brainwashed by the radio and your conspiracies are off base"
"Those are your "facts", I can easily find facts of my own."
"You are looking at things through blinders you need to open your mind"
and my favorite
the yelling of how big of an idiot I am, while she slams down anything in arms reach and runs off, goes through a door slams that and then yells how ignorant I am.
These are all sounds of victory in my book. Because everytime I ask to provide proof or facts behind her opinions she respons with those statements and as I prod her more my favorite thing usually occurs.
It is rather interesting in our marriage. We get along in everything but politics.

February 13, 2008 - 09:41 ET by Cortillaen"The bottom line is you're losing it. Your party is changing. Deal with it." -Roland Martin, to conservatives in the GOP
Amusingly, he just blurted out the entire left-wing's and, by extension, MSM's objective this election cycle. Alternately pound or ignore Republican candidates from the most conservative on down, trying to force conservative voters, through shear force of repition, to accept a political shift in the party towards the left. The end intent here is to deprive conservatives of any real political voice by turning the Republican party into the Dem-lite party. Of course, this can only happen if we concede and go along with it...

Agreed, his tactic is
February 13, 2008 - 10:28 ET by dscottAgreed, his tactic is transparent. This is building on the MSM plan to get McCain to believe neither Rush or Ann have valid concerns about McCain's intentions. They want McCain to believe he doesn't need the conservative vote to win. By calling all of us extremists, they are attempting to paint McCain as an extremist if he embraces us. McCain has a weakness and that's his long history of avoiding being labeled an extremist, hence his tendency to run to the middle ground of any argument. Just one more example of MSM liberal bias. Tell us if the MSM is treating the Daily Kos or Moveon.org the same way, NOT!
Actually we all should be proud of our accomplishments, the MSM sees us as a threat to their plans for the 2008 election. Only those who fear what they can't combat intellectually engage in demonizing their opponents. I smell fear from the MSM, and Roland Martin reeks of it. Bring it on Martin, the scent of your terror is motivating.

I guess we should be flattered with receiving such "bouquets" from the msm - I never hear a word about DK, MO or MM ;-)
What is the old saying? "don't care what you say as long as you spell the name right" seems to apply here - a BIG WELCOME to all you new visitors to Newsbusters.org - now come back real soon, y'hear?
Actually, I think you
February 13, 2008 - 15:04 ET by CortillaenActually, I think you missed my point here. I don't believe the actual outcome of this election is all that important to them. Either way they get a president who leans towards their ideals; it's just a matter of degrees there. The bigger issue is them trying to drag the Republican party further towards the left, something they hope to achieve by not allowing any but the most liberal candidates to have the airtime and fair coverage they need to have (something resembling) a fair shot. If they do this well enough to convince conservatives that their only choice is between voting for the non-conservative members of the GOP or the Dems, then they win. Conservatism really will die, because it will have neither a party giving it voice nor a people willing to stand up for it when the party strays. That's what I believe the agenda is here.

February 13, 2008 - 18:06 ET by mattmIf the GOP is a conservative party and liberals come in and try to move it to the left, who are the extremists? I contend it's the RINOs who are extremists for being out of step with their own party's platform.
If the GOP wants this leftward trend to continue, fine. We conservative can go elsewhere.
With no choice for conservatives among the major party candidates, '08 could be the year for a third party candidate...
