Hannity, Bozell Pummel Lesley Stahl, Chris Matthews for Media Bias in October 22 'Media Mash'
MSNBC's Chris Matthews and CBS's Lesley Stahl were two of the targets in the latest "Media Mash" segment on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" program.
NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell appeared on the October 22 edition of the program to look at how the media have been denigrating the Tea Party movement.
[Video of the segment available after the page break]
"He [Obama] saves the guy's life – this is our economy...but the guy [the American voter] wakes up and he's got scars all over his face, and that's all he sees, that's all anybody sees," Stahl argued by way of analogy on the October 18 "Morning Joe" on MSNBC.
Bozell's reaction:
Barack Obama, victim. [Lesley Stahl] says that he saved the economy. The reality is just hurting right now because the reality tells you something different. He said it was all about jobs and about doing something about the awful Bush record. Well, since George Bush left office, he's lost 4 million jobs. The unemployment [rate] has gone from 7.7 to 9.6 [percent]. He's added $3 trillion to the national debt. That's more debt than Ronald Reagan and every other president going back to George Washington combined. He hasn't saved the economy, the reality is, he's ruined it.
Earlier in the segment, the Media Research Center president slammed MSNBC's Chris Matthews for saying that the rescued Chilean miners would have killed each other if they had a Tea Party mentality about their survival.
To the contrary, Bozell argued:
Chris Matthews just proved he knows nothing about the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement believes in two things... individual responsibility, individual freedom. If you want to ascribe political definitions to the miners... they had to take care of themselves, they had to be responsible for themselves... they are the ultimate Tea Partiers who were down there.
It just goes to show how irrelevant that network is that they had to take great stories and try to turn them around to attack the Tea Party. That's desperation too.

Post Turtle
Submitted by jdhawk on Mon, 10/25/2010 - 1:15pm.
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his role as our president.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a Post Turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a
country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. '
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."

Why has no one ever done a documentary...

dealing with the effects of liberalism on American Culture? There are plenty of radical left wing documentaries which attempt to belittle ProLifers, Evangelicals, the Catholic Church, Conservatives, and Capitalism ad nauseum.

Yet, I am unaware of a single documentary exposing liberalism and its anti-Americanism including the MSM.

That's what matters!
If failed because they didn't do enough!!!
$30 trillion wasn't enough, but that's all they could manage, what with Republicans wanting people to starve to death, living in their cars.

a black man, has an excellent opinion article in the Journal titled The NAACP's Unhealthy Tea Party Obsession. Here is a sample:
David L. Kirp, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has an article in National Affairs titled: The Widest Achievement Gap regarding why African-American boys and young men lag behind their fellow students. Kirp writes:
The Democrats and black "so-called leaders" have helped to devastate the lives and dreams of the black family, and in particular, young black men.

Poor prez, chickens coming home to roost. Maybe he needs a common man czar to actually advise him on the little people, how to communicate, connect and listen.
