Paul Begala: 'California, Illinois and New Jersey - Places Where They'd Hunt Romney Down With Dogs'

Imagine the media outrage if a conservative commentator listed states where Barack Obama would be hunted down with dogs.

On CNN's OutFront Friday, liberal contributor Paul Begala said, "When Bush Sr. carried Pennsylvania, he also carried California and Illinois and New Jersey, places where they would hunt Romney down with dogs" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

PAUL BEGALA: It's a tough race. It's a tough year. Come on, [Obama's] not going to win Pennsylvania by ten or eleven or thirteen or whatever he won by last time. You know, Reihan might be right, but he's not. This is a bad move for Romney. It's going to disappoint frankly all those people who were counting on him in places where he actually might have a chance like Iowa, Colorado, Florida. Pennsylvania has not gone for a Republican for president since Reagan and Bush, and when - Bush Sr., not Bush Jr. - when Bush Sr. carried Pennsylvania, he also carried California and Illinois and New Jersey - places where they would hunt Romney down with dogs.

If a conservative commentator said something like this about Obama, that would be the end of his career.

Will Begala take any heat for this disgusting comment?

Stay tuned.

“I am from California, and in most parts of the state (area wise) where people would know how to hunt anything down with dogs they would like Mitt Romney just fine. In the areas where they might not like Mitt Romney, those folks wouldn’t know how to hunt anything down with a dog if their life depended on it.”

I’m a Californian too, and you are spot on. Just show me any large congregation of people(i.e. a city) and I will show you a RAT’s nest. The RAT’s can have LA, but I would like to reclaim the city of my birth (San Francisco) from the queers!

I don’t know about the other state mentioned but the liberals in California won’t know a good hunting dog if they saw it, and wouldn’t know what to do with it if they had one.

"Yes, …tens of millions of good people in Middle America voted Republican. But if you look closely at that map (red marked Bush) you see a more complex picture. You see the state where James Byrd was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart - it’s red. You see the state where Matthew Shepard was crucified on a split-rail fence for the crime of being gay - it’s red. You see the state where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees - it’s red. The state where an Army private who was thought to be gay was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat, and the state where neo-Nazi skinheads murdered two African-Americans because of their skin color, and the state where Bob Jones University spews its anti-Catholic bigotry: they’re all red too."

He looks like a penis with ears..

Begala can always rent his forehead out for advertising after the election.

Somebody please photo-shop “Post No Bills” on his forehead.

Those terrible anti-Catholic bigots and those terrible pro-life Catholics, and they actually agree on most things political! What are we blue bloods gonna do?!

Guess Brent's gotta earn a living, and it sure beats working.

Do you remember 1989, before the Internet, when the alternative media consisted of Rush Limbaugh and Brent Bozell's Media Research Center? Those were lonely days in the wilderness. Nobody did TV-bias "gotcha" video clips of Leftist news-readers but Brent. There wasn't anybody else in the broadcast business. Limbaugh picked up this technique on his (great) TV show the following year. Brent set the strategy for weakening the Lamestreamers and re-establishing reality. Since he started, he's done quite a bit of work.

Hey Forehead: Here's a story from Illinois you should check out. Yes indeed someone was hunted down, but who dun it? Soetoro Campaign of 2008?

[ully2]

The Forehead has never been known for his class.

[Belteshazzar]

That, my friend, is an insult to male organs.

[Holly_P]

Ginormous forehead alert!

[bigbob]

Show up in my part of Illinois and he might get the same treatment.

Fricking Chicago...

[RhodoliteRose]

Good luck with that! The homos own the Dump by the Bay—you’re never getting it back.

Romney is going to win New Jersey. Mark my words. And these comments by Begala are going to make the victory that much sweeter.

[bcsco]

Begala is a scum bag. A desperate scum bag at that. And it’s the desperation that makes me smile over comments like this. Reports like this are music to my ears 4 days before the election. Speak all you want Paul, I consider it a rhapsody for our resurrection...

[tflabo]

Kaleeforneeaa? With poodles, shitzus, maltese and pomeranians? Dont forget the snippy mexican chihuahuas for cultural diversity. Mutts for Mitt.

[Bullish]

Sometimes a guy just needs a fat lip really, really bad.

[xp38]

Paul Begala is a great CNN political analyst....for me to POOP ON!!!!

[gaijin]

really? well I’m in coastal California in a very ritzy, very liberal city. and have been walking around openly with a t-shirt saying, “f*ck Obama”. And I’ve been going into Starbucks for 2 hours daily with that in HUGE letters.

And the reactions have been 80% positive —the only nasty looks are from (liberal?) black people.
