On Fox and Friends, Bill Sammons said that the President called on a reporter from the Huffington Post, "a far left site". He stated that this would be equivalent to George W Bush calling on "Free Republic, a far right site".
(looking around) Far right? I’d be outside if I were any farther right...
When I look to my left, I see Ronald Reagan.
Just so ya know......I am SO stealing this line.
Did Bill Sammon actually use the precise words, "far right"?
When I look to my left, I see Attila the Hun.
There are no reporters at the Huffington Post.
I just rewound. His exact words were: “It would be like George W calling on Free Republic, or some other right-wing blog”. I neglected to mention that he also mentioned that the question before this one, the President called on Helen Thomas. He then stated that this would be like George W calling on Charles Krauthammer, as both are columnists, not reporters. Ari Fleischer, who was in studio, scolded him for comparing Krauthammer to Thomas.
Yes, he did.
Steve Doocy this morning was talking to a middle-aged woman outside the Fox building in NY, obviously a Democrat, who was delighted that Obama had called on Helen Thomas. The only reason I can see for someone admiring that old bag is that he or she liked the way she was rude and hateful to President Bush.
he said “right wing” blog.
And we should scold him for comparing FR to Huff-ugly-shrew Post.
Yet the parallelism is strikingly apt. Krauthammer is sauve, intelligent, honest and handsome in a craggy manly sort of way compared to Helen Thomas who is a bitter, hideously ugly harpy of a shrew with awful manners and style of propaganda writing that is as ugly as she.
I'd say FR has those same attributes as Mr. K. and that the Huff-ugly-shrew Post has the same attributes as the ancient harpy.
He referred to both as “blogs.”
Tony Snow was a member of FreeRepublic - what would Sammons do with that information?
Isn’t Sammons a reporter from that Moonie newspaper?
I noticed Ed Shultz seated to the left of Helen Thomas at Zero’s homily. I don’t remember if W had Hanity, Limbaugh or Liddy in his audience.
I watched that last night. She was trembling in HIS presence and stuttering.
Huh? What? That’s her meds kicking in you say?
Far right? What’s so wrong with far right?
That's what I'm wondering. What's wrong with being far right. I agree with the poster before that said when I look to the left...I see Reagan. Matter of fact...when I talk politics...I frequently tell people that I'm so conservative that I make Rush look like a flaming liberal.
So...nothing wrong with being far right. The Huff is far left...many of us here are far right. Don't think for a moment we are mainstream. Now...we certainly have more in common and are more mainstream than the moon bats over there...we just get censored...but we are right of most of America.
Maybe Ed Shultz is Helen Thomas' new "boy toy"?
