Time for the daily beat down of Freeptardland...(their responses to Dick Meyers ed.)

[Aviation Pro]

Once again, these paragons of moronhood amaze me. Is there anything they won't blame Bill Clinton (and by proxy his penis) on? For the full text of Meyer's excellent and angry piece go to: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/15/opinion/meyer/printable2182755.shtml

Good Riddance To The Gingrichites

Really, it's just a simple thesis: The men who ran the Republican Party in the House of Representatives for the past 12 years were a group of weirdos. Together, they comprised one of the oddest legislative power cliques in our history. And for 12 years, the media didn't call a duck a duck, because that's not something we're supposed to do.

I'm not talking about the policies of the Contract for America crowd, but the character. I'm confident that 99 percent of the population — if they could see these politicians up close, if they watched their speeches and looked at their biographies — would agree, no matter what their politics or predilections.

This is from CBS's fair and balanced Dick Meyers. You know, he is supposed to be a middle of the road, straight shooter. Yet he always writes articles slamming anything GOP. And I cannot find anything too harsh dealing with the RATS.

I especially like this line: "And for 12 years, the media didn't call a duck a duck, because that's not something we're supposed to do."

And yet.. he has said zip about Bubba Clinton, Hillary and her "security is for the little people" attitude, Byrd, and the rest of the Dem purveyors of moronicville.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it's unbelievable to see in print.

Media always lobs softballs to Dems and hammers Republicans.. I guess it comes with the territory...

I am still waiting to read about the 50,000 U.S. citizens that were killed in Times Square on New Years Eve 2005.... Oh thats right sorry Bush unlike Clinton acted and took out the Madman Saddam before he could get the (pick your poison) material to the terrorists for them to (pick your delivery method) use.

How can you take anyone seriously who writes things like, "99% of the population" would feel his way or that?"

Yes, and thank God that the Internet will eventually do such men in. Liars can now be exposed as such and it is only a matter of time before Liberalism is dead altogether. Thank God.

There is a message board at the bottom of the article. Some of the posts are really laughable.

Hmmm CBS editorial about "good riddence" to the class of reps elected to change the Tip O'Neil "business as usual" crowd. That's a surprise... /s

Long live the Blue Burqa DemocRATS! Cutting and Running from the Islamofascists is the "brave" and "courageous" thing to do.

Here is another great snippet from one of his thought provoking and fair articles:

"Don't be misled; there will be much more than $160 million spent assassinating characters this year; that's just the party money and doesn't include the cash laid out by the candidates themselves and various independent groups.

I have probably screened 60 negative ads this year and it's clear to me that this year's crop is the most scurrilous ever. The race-baiting ad run against Harold Ford in Tennessee is the most infamous example, but it is no sleazier than a dozen others I have seen.

One skuzzy ad accuses Democratic House candidate Michael Arcuri in New York of using taxpayer dollars to call a phone sex line. It turns out someone misdialed the state Division of Criminal Justice, which has an almost identical number. Ads run against Bob Casey in Pennsylvania misleadingly use actors to portray people who are supposedly Casey's cronies.

It seems there's very little that desperate candidates can't get away with anymore. And I mean that: this year's ads are simply full of lies and creepy insinuations. A good place to get a feel for the sleaze out there is at factcheck.org, a non-partisan group that monitors political ads for - get this - accuracy. By the way, factcheck.org found that while both parties have behaved poorly, the Republicans have been more outrageous. No surprise there, since they're the ones who are running behind. "

BARF

Middle of the Road at CBS is somewhere between Chavez and Schumer.

If Gingrich would run for Pres, I would pick him first, at least right now. Can someone dissuade me?

I am liking initially what I am hearing about concerning Duncan Hunter.
But I will investigate his history thoroughly over the next few months.

Funny, no mention of the ethical problems of John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Alcee Hastings, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Gerry Studds, Barney Frank and a thousand other democrats past and present. I await his exposes on the moral, criminal, and ethical failings of the above.
