Two Liberal Thumbs Up

Barbara Walters, who sometimes plays an objective journalist on TV, chose this week to endorse "Sicko," Michael Moore’s left-wing screed about the health care industry. The veteran news anchor enthused, "Everyone should see it." Conservatives shouldn’t be surprised by this type of propagandizing, however. Last year, Walters endorsed Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth." (See blog for link.)

NBC: Nobody’s Better (than) Clinton

Speaking of the "The View," an ex-host from that program, Meredith Vieira, gushed on Monday’s edition of "Today" that Hillary Clinton is "unbeatable" and a "teflon candidate." Later in the week, Matt Lauer, a co-anchor on the NBC program, touted Mrs. Clinton’s "Sopranos" parody. He declared it "a hit" and "clever." The other network morning shows were similarly impressed.

Considered?

This week, ABC continued a long standing tradition of referring to Hamas as a organization that is "considered" a terrorist group by the U.S. government.

Full of Good Ideas

Because you can never get enough "Today" show bias, it must be pointed out that Meredith Vieira also hosted a segment on gas prices where she wondered if Americans would be better off if the prices "were even higher."

Just Like Swaziland

Not to be out done, ABC’s "Good Morning America," for the third time this year, featured a segment that compared America’s paid leave program to Third World countries such as Swaziland. On the other hand, we do have a slight advantage over that country in that 70 percent of America’s population is not living in poverty.

Isn’t Soros Super?

Finally, perhaps in a bid to perpetuate the liberal label of PBS, host Charlie Rose threw softballs and praised the pro-democracy George Soros. He also asked Carl Bernstein if the "vast right wing conspiracy" existed.

RE: NBC: Nobody’s Better (than) Clinton

These guys make me want to puke.  She would never stand up to any serious debate, or tough questions from the media.  She is being sheltered by her staff and picks and chooses her interviews and debates.  Unless she stops being sheltered, she won't be taken seriously, ( I hope).  The blathering from the MSM will help a bit, but it wont be enough, besides, her negatives are higher than her positives.  If the american people saw the REAL Hitlary, they would be repulsed.  She is a power hungry liar that has remaind in a farce of a marriage strickly for power.  How many times has she covered up Bill's infidelities?  And dont even get me started on Vince Foster, the Rose Law firm billing records......etc., etc., etc. 

Hillary Clinton the Blackmail Candidate

A few facts have to slap upside the head of the Meredith Viera deprived of gushing facts on Hillary Clinton.

First Hillary Clinton is no Ronald Reagan. The reason Reagan was and is the ultimate Teflon President is he had God and Truth on his vesture. The press, democrats and communists (which are all the same ilk) lied about Reagan continually and the public was intelligent enough to know propaganda when they hear it.

Hillary Clinton though is the blackmail candidate in if you remember the Clinton's stole all those FBI background files on everyone in Congress and the media. You will also recall in Ron Brown he as a Clinton team member would not talk on the phone, because he knew the Clinton's had tapped every phone and would use it against people.

See the Clinton's got what they wanted by blackmailing Congress and is why the Senate did not carry through with the impeachment trial as key Senators were being blackmailed.

Hillary Clinton to this day with cronies in justice and state "influences" people to do her bidding. Why do you think Sandy Berger got muscled into stealing and destroying documents about bin Laden and then got away with a slap on the wrist? It is because the apparatus of blackmail is in place.......is why Scooter Libby was hijacked and the Bush people didn't bite on a cover up as was intended. The Clintons are blackmailing people yet.

This is Meredith Vieira's endorsement which most likely means she is being blackmailed too. In this town of media whores, one just does not get chosen by the big stooges unless they have something on you to control you. So a gushing Hillary endorsement of knowing all the criminal activity and none of it sticks.

If you want to know the wicked truth, President Bush knew all most of what was going on with the Clintons because Louis Freeh was feeding the Bush family information. Bush 43 directed DOJ not to investigate it though, because he knew the scandals from the Marc Rich money laundering for oil and bribes would have put all the Clintons and a great deal of their people in prison, most of the UN and the leadership of France and Germany joining them which would have left an easy world possession for the Russians and the Chinese.

There are cracks in the Clinton blackmail network though, but enough key people behind her.....but WATCH the banking cartels as a deal has been worked out with Al Gore to get him to run. Hints are coming in that "if a candidate stumbles" he will swoop in. That means Hillary just might stumble as in the case in New York filed exposing her criminal money laundering for campaign funds might be the tool to replace her with "sell yer soul " GlobAL Gore.

Hillary though blackmails people and that is why along with all those dead bodies that became legendary scares allot of like minded comrades to not ask her the real questions about Marc Rich, Saddam oil, Saddam finding out about American CIA assets and murdering them, Ron Brown, Vince Foster in being a bag man and a host of Chinese bribes, blackmail and just how that nuclear football and nuclear plans all happened to end up in the Chinese hands.

If the press asks then all their dirty pedophile secrets start coming out along with all the other criminal situations they are in. The lofty get that way because they can be blackmailed. That is what is going on with Hillary Clinton, an intelligence asset who rose to power laundering CIA covert funds using the PROMIS software. That is the real Hillary and she is twice the man Bill ever was in putting the hammer on the sheep.
