Joan Walsh: 'I Didn’t Think it Was Possible to Get Lower Than Andrew Breitbart But His Spawn Have'
Salon editor Joan Walsh took a truly disgusting cheap shot at the late Andrew Breitbart Friday.
Appearing on MSNBC's Hardball, Walsh said, "I didn’t think it was possible to get lower than Andrew Breitbart, but his spawn have gotten lower than Andrew Breitbart" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MICHAEL SMERCONISH, SUBSTITUTE HOST: Here, by the way, you can see the 1991 literary agency photo and description of President Obama unearthed by the folks as I say at Breitbart. You know, Joan Walsh, I have to make this observation. The folks at Breitbart say, “We don’t buy the birther argument. We’re putting this forward because we think it’s evidence of the shoddy job done by the media four years ago to vet the now president.” What do you make of that?
JOAN WALSH, SALON: They’re bottom feeders. I mean, my God, I didn’t think it was possible to get lower than Andrew Breitbart, but his spawn have gotten lower than Andrew Breitbart.
Does Walsh have absolutely no shame or respect for the dead?
Is nothing sacred when it comes to getting Barack Obama reelected?
With shills like Walsh appearing on this farce of a so-called news network, the answers are clearly "No" and "No!"

"Low" is deciding you're more deserving of an American Indian slot at Harvard.
Bloggers can say what they want, but Elizabeth Warren demonstrated her belief she is superior to an entire race.

Barack Obama started the Birther Movement and now you're all butt-hurt because he got caught at it.
Where do you get the idea that hiding the truth is journalism? Don't tell me, I already know about Stalin.

Pure Leftist Projection
Submitted by HardRightTurn on Fri, 05/25/2012 - 6:50pm.
The Left has no choice but to accuse their opposition of what they themselves do. Recent history is replete with examples of this. It happens every time a Leftist opens their mouth to speak.
To more fully comprehend the Left, one must read “Leftism As Psychopathy” by John Ray, M.A., Ph.D. Caution, it might scare you a little bit.

look good in comparison. Too bad "Tingles" was off. It would have been interesting to see if he could sink even lower than this woman in distorting the truth.
Breitbart rightly asks where was the MSM back in 2008? Why didn't they discover this pamphlett back then?
Most of us believe Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, but we also know at the time the pamphlett was published, he probably thought that it made him seem somewhat exotic to pass himself off as being born in Kenya.
He embellished his background and the truth came out when it was better for him for it to come out.
He hasn't changed a bit.

Here is what Walsh had to say on MSNBC about the Catholic lawsuits against the HHS mandate:
[Catholic institutions] are fighting a losing battle. And they’ve got the idea of religious freedom backwards, frankly. They are imposing on the rest of the country’s religious freedom with this opposition to this mandate. People want this; Catholic people want this..... So, this is so outrageous, and such an overreach by Cardinal Dolan.
And people already get it.
Submitted by The Vet on Sat, 05/26/2012 - 1:38am.
Nine out of ten insurance plans already cover birth control. The mandate was about getting the last one out of ten to do the same. And the religious institutions fall into that one out of ten.

My mother always told me "don't trust a man that says, trust me! My father always told me, "If you play with skunks, pretty soon you smell like skunks." So, I never trusted a man that says, trust me and I never played with skunks! My point being, "someone" is telling out and out lies.

You mean pointing out that Barack Obama's publicist said [which is demonstrably true], that he was born in Kenya is lower than tweeting a Mormon joke about Mitt Romney?
Yeah, that was classy.

He is either a fraud or a liar.

That must mean that Breitbart's people have hit the bulls-eye somewhere. Whenever liberals and their lies and their failures are exposed and humiliated, they start squealing like stuck pigs and saying it's 'low'.
By that definition, Walshie is a pig.

I am not necessarily a birther, but the MSM was soooo worried about how this would turn out that they overplayed their hand. Now they look like they were a part of a cover-up...and they really weren't!
Ironically, if they would have acted like journalists rather than political hacks, they would not be in this mess.
As for Walsh, although admittedly she's not much to look at on the outside, 99 percent of this woman's ugliness is all on the inside. I can't think of anyone more despicable than her...male or female.

There's nothing lower than being a writer for Salon.. the most rabidly mindless left wing lemming hatchery on the net. To be one of them is to be a nasty lying hack with no shame.. no respect and no honesty at all.
I'd rather be a bank robber than a Salon contributor.. it's certainly a much more respectable profession as low at that is.
That rag beats out the Nation and Mother Jones for sheer abject hateful lefty lunacy.
