Libtalker Wallows In Partisan Muck, Tops Them All







Though tracking "progressive" slime is generally a thankless task, sometimes their most outrageous rhetoric can at least offer some amusing entertainment value. It can also be infuriating, especially when clearly part of a partisan smear campaign.

There was a time when most of the craziest rants came from Mike Malloy, but several other libtalkers have since caught up and even surpassed him.

This week, former CNN Crossfire host-turned-lefty-talker Bill Press put Malloy to shame with a tirade equating Herman Cain with Penn State sicko Jerry Sandusky.


Caught first by Tim Graham earlier this week, we've now tracked down the audio of what could be considered the Smear of the Year:

BILL PRESS (TUES 08 NOV 2011 HOUR ONE): I wonder what Rush Limbaugh and Herman Cain's detra -- uh, supporters say about what's happening at Penn State?

Hmmm. Are they blaming that on the media? Is the media wrong by pointing out that Sandusky guy apparently was molesting all these young boys, including a ten year old in the shower, and Joe Paterno doesn't call the cops?

You gonna blame the media for that? Are they gonna defend Sandusky? Or not defending him, just defending Herman Cain because he happens to be a conservative politician running for president. SO you can't touch him, but the media can go after Sandusky.

What's the difference, really? There's no difference, really. I mean, okay, we have maybe sexual assault in the case of Sandusky, but let me tell you something, assuming, and if what Sharon Bialek says is correct, that's a lot more than sexual harassment on Herman Cain's part. That's sexual assault on his part. I think any lawyer would tell you that. So I just get sick of these right-wingers trying to defend this guy when five different women come forward. Five different women come forward! Same story. You're just believe him?

Compare this obvious talking points campaign tactic with state-run media coverage now pointing to Newt Gingrich as a new potential GOP frontrunner. Isn't it clear Republican voters have been manipulated by the Obamist opposition?

For those of you outside California who didn’t know already, Bill Press is a bona fide idiot.

[FrdmLvr]

I could never stand that guy. This is typical of him.

[NYer]

Ping!

[DirtyDawg]

See, it is really stupid comments like that which removes any hint of credibility

[who knows what evil?]

Yoo-hoo...Mr. Wood? Over here...

Anyone who wants to tell this idiot what a moron he is:

[Bullish]

Liberals like Bill Press would send all conservatives to the gas ovens without batting an eye.
He's really a putrid, sickening little partisan weasel.

[Hoodat]

In his own mind, Bill Press is correct. He really does rate conservatives as worse than child rapists.

felling a cain money bomb coming on what say y ‘all???

[Fred]

He is a conservative by CA standards..

[LachlanMinnesota]

Difference one: Evidence.

Difference two: Criminal behavior.

Difference three: Status of alleged victims.

Difference four: Level of harm done.

Difference five: Examination by the press depends on political views.

Difference six: People believe the grand jury/prosecution in Penn State, and do not in the case of Cain’s accusers.

And here I was assuming that by now, Bill Press had had his rabies shots.

[Paperdoll]

I knew that. :o) He does have lovely silver hair like my late husband did. It’s what’s under that hair that would even turn off Sharon Bialek, or whatever her name is.

[Gene Eric]

What a racist pig.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Bill Press officially gets the “Idiot of the Year” award for that comment..he barely beat out Bill Maher

[bray]

The politics of personal destruction. The lynching of Cain.

Pray for America

[Brilliant]

Bill Press is a racist.

[DemforBush]

“What’s the difference, really?”

The difference, Billy, is that an accusation is not the same thing as being presented with credible evidence. At this point, there is not one iota of proof Herman Cain has done *anything* wrong. PSU’s scandal, on the other hand has already had plenty on the record to damn many of those involved and likely will have more coming out in the weeks ahead.

I guess Mr. Press believes in the old KGB motto: “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

Are there really even 5 complainants?
