Pundits and politicians on the Left always telegraph which conservatives frighten them the most, and clearly Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, an early and surprising frontrunner in the 2016 GOP presidential sweepstakes, frightens – and angers – the Left.
Nowhere is that vitriol more on display than in a recent screed by the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, who is upset that Walker refuses to engage in the mainstream (liberal) media’s standard game of “gotcha,” a game that is played only against Republican politicians.

Good.
Constantly attack. Ridicule. Don’t answer the gotchas.
And, if they insist on an answer about Rudy’s remarks,
say “I think the president’s words and actions should speak for themselves. I don’t have to comment.”
Do you think Obama Cheats at Golf ?
I have a reverse gotcha for the lamestreams (and it’s a lot like the style Jesus used).
Reporter: So, Walker, do you believe in Creationism?
Walker: Answer me this, and I’ll answer about Creationism. Reporter, do you believe that rocks can turn into people, all by themselves, if you leave them alone long enough?
Reporter: It’s not quite that simple; it would take me hours to make it more complicated, more reasonable, than that; so I can’t really answer “yes” or “no”.
Walker: So, you believe rocks can turn into people, but it’s a complicated process and you haven’t time enough to explain how it works?
Reporter: Yes.
Walker: Since you won’t answer my question, then I don’t have time to answer yours, either. Bye.
If Todd Aikin and Murdock had used that on the abortion rape question, they might now be the junior senators from Missouri and Indiana.
I hear that 0bama, like Hairy Reed, cheats on his taxes.
Soros and the DailyKos/NBC drones spent MILLIONS trying to ridicule Walker after he was elected, only to have those efforts throw mud on their faces.
To the Liberals-in-Media set, he is THE GREAT SATAN.
I think that’s the perfect response but personally I wouldn’t be able to hold back on adding “People don’t seek to “fundamentally transform” things they love and patriots don’t deliberately damage their own country”.
No more than I do...HCP 12...on a good day...maybe.
The other might be: Can you give evidence that a fully functional Toyota Prius evolved from an automotive scrap yard outside of Little Rock, Arkansas?
The MSM are a bunch of stupid morons... they’d more likely ask him ‘What are you wearing?’ ... rather than actually address pertinent issues!
They have NO grasp of issues and are NO LONGER objective, so they are no longer relevant.
Every time a Republican politician answers a question, he should:
1. ridicule the reporter personally
2. ridicule his network
3. ridicule the media in general
4. itemize some crime of the Obama regime against the Constitution
5. remark about some principle of liberty
6. perhaps comment on the merits of the question
And, if they insist on an answer about Rudy’s remarks,
say “I think the president’s words and actions should speak for themselves. I don’t have to comment.”

Walker handled it well, but Rudy’s refusal to back-down is sorely needed by Republicans.
I guess Rudy got past the “givadam” about what the press and the left says about him.
Good on ‘im.
Well the thing is Jesus could pull off such a ploy. Because he's Jesus. But when politicians try the press would just say "It's not about me. Answer the question." Then they lead the 6pm news with a headline "Walker suggests belief that rocks can turn into people"
Mr. Reporter, I heard that Obama eats puppies for supper. Do you believe that?
But are they going to have debates moderated by the usual gotcha lib journalists? I wait with bated breath...
This is silliness. Scott Walker doesn’t need us to tell him how to handle the media.
A simple answer by all republicans should be,mObamas actions speak louder than his words.
