When's the last time you heard the MSM talk about a Republican being hit by the "Democrat attack machine"? Scratch that. Have you ever heard the MSM talk about a Republican being hit by the "Democrat attack machine"? Neither have I. But fretting about impending Republican "swiftboating" of the Dem presidential candidate is an MSM staple, and we saw a good example of it on this morning, right down to an image of John Kerry in uniform.
Oh, and Hillary Clinton sees herself like a modern-day Ginger Rogers.
Ann Curry had a chance to interview both Dem candidates recently, and Today ran an extended clip during this morning's first half-hour, the two interviews being artfully edited into a back-and-forth. Overall, I'd say Curry gave Hillary the tougher time, but be that as it may, let's focus on two snippets. First, Curry fretting to Obama about those mean Republicans. Check out the screencap. Kerry in uniform, decorations on display. Beneath, the graphic ominously asks: "Can Obama Handle Republican Attacks?" Again I ask: have you ever, EVER, seen the mirror-image graphic in the MSM?

Yeah those Bullies, the Big mean Republicans have the nerve to attack our brave new girly-man messiah...he is the hope of the world. Want a bunch of babies!
“Stolen Valor”
Also, wasn't Hillary "Rocky" a couple of weeks ago? Guess someone pointed out to her that Rocky was beaten by Apollo Creed, the black guy.
That’s because Curry sees “Swiftboating” Republicans, as the legacy domain of her and the rest of the LSM, who have been hactheting Republicans for decades with their smear campaigns.
I’ve seen Hillary dancing with Bill on the beach. She is NOT Ginger Rogers.
This is the fundamental problem posed by the decadence that is the Left. It accepts questionable and untrue axioms and constructs its entire belief system upon them.
This is the main reason that the Left is so dangerous. It is fundamentally mendacious and proscriptive of truth. This prevents the emergence of truth for its own sake and the comprehension of reality, and it promotes delusion and denial, the most dangerous thing there is.
Applying “swift boat” tactics to Hillary makes perfect sense. Why shouldn’t the right expose the truth about her? BO, too, for that matter.
I like swift boating!
“Lemon curry?”
WRONG!
Ginger Rogers didn’t have CANKLES!
...or cottage cheese thighs!
Swiftboating is telling the truth and setting the record straight..Who is afraid of the truth?
Bingo. I would love to see McCain and other Republicans go on the MSM shows and speak of their expectation that McCain will be Rathered this fall......
I said the same thing to my wife. I thought she was going to do a Monica on Obama, and she seemed like a *itch to Hillary
