Bozell: Liberal Media Screeching in 'Desperation' As They Fear Obama Loss in November
As the campaign season moves forward, the American people will see more "desperation" by the liberal media and President Obama as the case for his reelection grows harder to justify. "They're not seeing gravitas and they're not seeing presidential statesmanship," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity during last night's "Media Mash" segment.
Bozell was reacting to MSNBC's Ed Schultz, who took to his May 29 radio program The Ed Schultz Show to despondently whine that should Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) survive the union-backed recall effort and should Mitt Romney get elected, there would never be a Democratic president elected in his lifetime again. [watch video below page break]
"Can we spell panic here?" Bozell quipped. "Ed Schultz is to radio what Bill Moyers's daisy ad was to political advertising. It's thermonuclear theatrics. They have been building up Wisconsin as much as possible" and now they're "panicking" as they see a "95 percent chance" that they'll lose this proxy war meant to gin up the liberal base for November.
Also discussed on "Media Mash" was how the media guffawed at a misspelling of "America" on a Romney smartphone app but downplayed Barack Obama's far-more-offensive gaffe in which he accidentally maligned the Poles as having run death camps when under Nazi occupation during World War II. The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, has asked for an apology from President Obama.

What makes anyone think he's going to lose gracefully? Hell, he hasn't acted gracefully in the last 3.5 years, couldn't make an "office of the president elect" seal fast enough, anyone really think he'll just go away quietly?
I don't think so. I got a feeling they will use this as a reason to start some sort of civil war and they got the means and tools/fools to do it with too.

Constitutionally, only congress can postpone or change the election date. It has never been done. Not that the Constitution matters to the O Administration, but can you imagine if they tried that?
I think if that were to happen at the Executive level, that is when the military comes into the picture -- or I would certainly hope so!

Submitted by jon_torlin on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 1:07pm.
I would expect them to try something, ANYTHING, given their actions as of late, nevermind their actions of the last 3.5 years. Each year as they did something, people would think "they wouldn't do that" and yet they did, when it came to health care and judges and the justice department and so on.
Just like the illegal moratorium on offshore drilling, a judge ordered them to back off on that, and how did the O-ministration take it? "Oh, they didn't say we COULDN'T do it" or some insipid nonsense like that.
We'd be fools not to prepare for that possibility.

It wouldn't stop them, look at the Rodney King riots.
And that would be tame compared to what this bogus potus would push should be lose the election. They have their army in the black people who would vote for them regardless of what he does, especially the stuff that would screw them over.

Submitted by John21 on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 11:11am.
The propaganda media has staked everything on their re-election campagn of "The Incompetent One".
They have been the administrations "Public Relations Firms" for the last 4 years.
They cast off any doubt as to their bias, for their hero "Zero"
Their ratings are falling faster than a rock, because of their bias.
Their liberal agenda is in danger, being exposed as the shills they have become.
Their ego are already badly bruised by the incompetent one, but will be destroyed by failure.
The networks are a business and without income, the liberal talking heads will be on a soapbox
They have sold whatever personal or professional intergety for their liberal agenda
Their credibility is only valid with their fellow liberals

running in circles with their dresses pulled up over their heads, screaming like 12 year old girls.
This presidency was their shot at socialist utopia. Liberals have spent the last 50 years infilterating our educational system, indoctrinating us from day 1 in school with liberal ideals, teaching from textbooks rewritten by liberals, from kindergarden to college. The democrats have destroyed the traditional family and successfully reenslaved blacks and the lower class with welfare and social entitlements. They have used the labor unions to finance democratic candidates through union dues and campaign contributions. Their dream of utopia through wealth redistibution is circling the drain. They have alienated their base voters with their lies. Voter fraud legislation is pending in many states as is "right to work" legislation. They will not have another chance for a very long time.
America is coming back, stronger than ever.

When one considers the ratio
Submitted by motherbelt on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 11:43am.
When one considers the ratio of non-taxpayers to taxpayers, with stats moving in the direction of the former, the greater likelihood is of there never being a Republican president again.
It appears that just as Europe is reaping the whirlwind of their out-of-control entitlement societies (look what happened to any candidate who even suggested curbing entitlements or people working a single extra year <gasp!!>), the US is once again arriving late to the party, but doing the same thing.
Oh, but don't worry; it'll be fine here, because the "right" people will be in charge of it.
Way for Obama to Lower Unemployment
Submitted by kwbrownie2003 on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 11:41am.
Obama still has a chance. He can simply take more people out of the job market. And not just those that are not looking for work. Byron York mentioned that they already don't count unemployed people whove given up looking but say they are available to work. How about a new category: "unemployed people looking for work but don't stand a chance in hell of getting a job in this effed up economy". He could reduce unemployment to about 0 percent.
Be prepared
Submitted by Bliggie on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 11:42am.
There will be riots in every city in America from the Dems, people will be screaming cries of racism from coast to coast and the regime will use this to suspend the elections if in any way he can. Even if he bows out, which is doubtful, his constituents will burn, pillage, shoot loot and steal and will justify their behavior on drummed up garbage that isnt real. Romney will win by a landslide, Obama will not go quietly, and there will be riots I'm hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. The media's cries of racism and attacks on Romney are just the beginning.

I was thinking the exact same thing. He talks as if this would be a bad thing. Now, if we can only get every states voter registration purged of necro-Americans and aliens (both legal and illegal) it would be most difficult for a Democrat at any level to be elected. No wonder DOJ has ordered Florida to cease and desist on their efforts to purge aliens from their voting registration records.
