Dirty Democrat Pool

Excerpt:

It's Rathergate all over again, and the same vigilant entities that brought about to the collapse of CBS News could now also cause heads to roll among Democratic Senate leadership staffers and further shame multiple news organizations that would appear to have fallen for another document hoax.

Very quietly, Senate Republican leadership aides to both Sen. Rick Santorum and Sen. Mitch McConnell, as well as the Senate Republican Policy Committee, have been using the Senate recess break to reconstruct the purported distribution of a document that media outlets, including ABC News, the New York Times and a number of regional newspapers, identified as Senate "GOP talking points" on the Terri Schiavo fight that unfolded over the weekend.

"There is a process here for documents like this that are passed around down on the Senate floor, which is where the media claimed that the 'talking points' were being distributed last Thursday," says a Republican policy committee staffer. "There was a lot of stuff going on Thursday, but a document like this one was not being distributed. As far as we know, the only documents being handed out related to votes on a series of amendments being pushed through before the recess. Schiavo wasn't part of that package."

The document, which was posted online by ABC News, as well as several Democratic-leaning websites, was unsigned, bore no Senate office letterhead, and was rife with errors, including the incorrect Senate bill number and the misspelling of Schiavo's name. For days, Republicans denied any knowledge of the document, and a number of Republican Senators claimed they had never seen it.

Beginning over the weekend, when doubts about the document first appeared on the blogosphere, the document's provenance began to unspool. Conservative blogs Powerline, In the Agora, and Fishkite all have been out front on the story. A number of blogs found language almost identical to the "talking points" on a post at the Traditional Values Coalition website. ABC News then posted the language of the purported document but not the actual document itself.

Dems lie. Amd the press amplifies for them.

If conservatives put out phony "talking points" and tried to attribute it to dems, the press would catch it.

The MSM isn't going to trumpet something that makes dems look silly, or selfish, or base. Nope, that they would stop. But us? We're the "other". And it's easy to do it do the "other".

The MSM wants sooooooo bad for us act like the crazy stereotype of us that they can so easily hate. And why? What's in it for them? If the stereotype's not true, then they would be jerks. They have a lot to defend. And their subconscious knows it.

The MSM will do whatever it takes to make us "deserve" the unfairness they hand out. The alternative -- that they're (the MSM) narrow minded, biased, jerks is worth every defense mechanism they can muster. So, if presented with information that feeds their serf serving image, they jump on it. It's why all the stories that trash a political group and later turn out to be lies are against us. Germans did the same thing to Jews before WWII. You can't trash a group without trying to make it look like they deserve it. It's a creepy tradition. One the New York Times and others should avoid.
