Curry Treats Dems as Victims, NBC Obsesses Over 'Swift-Boating'

By Brent Baker | April 22, 2008

NewsBusters.org | NBC's Ann CurryOn Tuesday's Today, NBC's Ann Curry treated both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as victims of unfairness -- worrying Obama will be “swift-boated” by Republicans and she asking Clinton if she agreed “the playing field has been not level because you are a woman?” (Mark Finkelstein's posting this morning, “Curry Concerned About GOP 'Swift-boating'; Hillary: I'm Like Ginger Rogers,” highlighted these two questions.) My addition: This was at least the third time an NBC News host or anchor has fretted to Obama about him being “swift-boated” by odious Republican tactics, questions which presumed the criticisms of John Kerry in 2004 were mendacious. Two previous incidents:

Imagine the ultimate anti-Obama Swiftboat ad in the fall, counterposing images of McCain as a POW, and Ayers as a terrorist bomber, then showing Ayers and Obama palling it up, even after Ayers said (on 9-11) that he only regretted not setting more bombs.

I thought it said, "Curry Treats for Dems..." and figured Huma was throwing a party.

I heard a great radio ad today on the Steve Malzberg Show that said how can Obama effectively fight and protect us from terrorism if he has friends and supporters who are terrorists. It was hard hitting and on target. Obama’s gonna get his teeth kicked in. The ads are going to be devastating. There’s so much to work with.

Swift boating will not begin until after the conventions. That is when you will need the pop corn and beer.

The term 'Swiftboating" means telling the truth about a political candidate.

Since most Democrats cannot distinguish the difference between the truth from a lie, the automaticaly use the term "Swiftboating" to mean lying when, in reality, it means telling the truth.

Well big surprise, of course they are being treated as victims. The liberals are the party of victimology...they are all victims...so predictable, so friggin laughable. All of these people are still like spoiled 12 year olds...Whiny immature brats.

McCain keeps those pics alive that are above. He then has a wake for Jummah Carter. He then asks Hillary to have her female amazon squad to come over and vote Pub. He wins by 40 states over the Messiah and NBC, MSNBC, CBS and ABC are bought by Roger Ailes.

Let me ask the reporterette a question: do Republicans ever get “swiftboated”?

I think the Pubs could take Minn., Mich,. N.Mexico, NH, NJ, maybe Pa., Delaware. Obama will not win one Southern state and WVA could go to McCain. Now if Hil gets the nomination, that is another story.
