On a sudden hush in the media
By J.R.Dunn
July 4, 2006
Is it my imagination, or is there a sudden hush in the shrieking media barrage today? Was it only yesterday that the NYT and WaPo were roaring and thundering, month after month, at President Bush and the GOP—- to surprisingly little effect? Have we run out of phony scandals yet?
Where is the Bush = Hitler crowd?
To be sure, the Kossacks are still fussing in a corner of the web. And any moment now the heavy artillery of the Left may resume lobbing shell after exploding shell at the White House, the neocons, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, not to mention Big Oil, Big Business and Big Fatty Food. It's all they know.
My intuition hints at something else. Has an email has gone out from Hillary's campaign? Has somebody run a panic poll? Has Murtha been told to shut it for now?
Maybe the Democrats just got it—- that they have now defined themselves to lose the 2006 elections. The Democrat Party stands for open treason in a time of war.
Their house journal—- the New York Times—- has made it official, by publishing secrets that will surely end up killing US agents, soldiers and allies in the field. The next big terrorist attack will point the finger of blame at our domestic Fifth Column—- the media establishment.
Where will the next terrorist hammer fall? Israel – London – New York City? Wherever it does, the guilty party is now beyond reasonable doubt in the eyes of millions of Americans.
Just to top it off, in a fit of hubris the NYT has published the home addresses of Dick Cheney's and Donald Rumsfeld, complete with a photograph pinpointing a hidden security camera in Rumsfeld's driveway. It is a plain invitation to terrorists and crazies: Go and kill these men. Here is where they live. Just drive a truck bomb past this house, or crash a private plane with half a ton of ammonium nitrate. Go ahead. We're pointing the way.
You know the reasons why—- we've riled you up, day after day, for six whole years. Now you know where they live.
We are protected by the First Amendment. We are above the law.
This administration's greatest gift is its enemies. The Attorney General could appoint a Special Prosecutor to ferret out the New York Times' spies in the CIA, State, the Pentagon, Congress. The precedent has been set by Plame-Wilson, first stoked by the NYT Editorial Page.
Spies can be sent to jail. Journalists can be jailed for hiding their sources.
My guess is that the Attorney General will never do it.
He doesn't need to.
All the administration needs is a thirty-second television ad in late September.

Zoom in on the front page of the New York Times, with a voice-over saying:
"Would you vote for these people to protect your country?"
(Hey you clowns, we know that CHAD trick)
LOL!

One again challenged to respond with facts, you duck the challenge.
Thank you. :-)
I don't see any challenge. The Tancredo folks got their national referendum...and their arses handed to them.
This is usually a sign, at Least In Utah, that you might want to reexamine your positions on certain issues.
1) Cannon is still the candidate and will probably be returning to Congress
2) Tancredo's PAC, bay buchanan and her team poured thousands of dollars and volunteers into the race, they billed it as a national referendum that would set the agenda for the fall election, then had their arses handed to them on a platter.
Yep...a terrible set back for Congressman Cannon.
Yes, they really did. There was a thread here on FR about it the other day, complete with scans of the pages from the NYCrimes.
Yeah, really. I didn't hear about that referendum here in California.
Agreed!
Now is an important time, most likely a defining moment for our nation
Every moment is
In an election where he should have received 65% + of the vote, it was not a good showing, I just bet on the spread. It wasn't a National referendum it was a Cannon referendum, he won and I made some money but it wasn't a win that I would have expected, absent the immigration issue.
I heard that Congresscritter Bawney Fwank had a flight today. En route, the crew sang a song..."You're a grand old fag, you're a high flying fag......"
We'll never get the kind of commercials we want from political candidates or the administration. They are too afraid of turning off or offending those who are undecided.
The only way this commercial could make it would be for a group of like-minded people (us, for example) to band together, raise the money to buy the time and run the spot.
I'll throw in a hundred...after my contribution to Free Republic.
Considering the amount of out-of-state PACs, money and volunteers, it was a good win...and a huge defeat for those who tried to make that primary a referendum.
If Cannon doesn't shape up, he'll be challenged again at the next Republican State Convention in 2008. Without Bush shilling for him, he'll lose big.
