From Brit's Panel, May 12th:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What percentage of the mainstream media is in the tank for Barack Obama?

TERRY MCAULIFFE, CLINTON CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN: Probably 90 percent. From day one, it is what it is. We're not complaining. We have to deal with the hand we're dealt with.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HUME: They don't like it. The Clinton camp thinks that the media is in the tank for Barack Obama, with one exception.

Question -- this is a week in which we have seen a "Newsweek" cover story that portrayed Obama much as he did in that sound byte you just heard as about to go up against a relentless Republican attack machine which has been responsible for a series of presidential victories going back decades, dispensers of fear and even hate, in which "The New York Times" doing some fact checking and finding that Obama did say things he plainly did say.

So back with the panel here on this issue. We're seeing this now. We saw the reaction from the Clinton camp about this. What is this going to be like in the fall, Juan?

WILLIAMS: Well, I think if you stick with the Obama framework, it is that you can't call him any names, you can't challenge him on policy positions, you can't bring up Jeremiah Wright or Tony Rezko, you can't bring up Michelle Obama, and you shouldn't really mention much about the fact that when it comes to battling terrorism, the American people see him as weaker than John McCain, because all of those things would indicate that you're a racist pig.

KRISTOL: And the flipside of that is, of course, the Republican Party has been, as Brit said, scaring voters since 1968. That's what it's been about -- 40 years of American politics. These lower and middle class folks frightened and disturbed by hippies and student radicals and blacks. That's what this is all about.

There were no substantive reasons why you might prefer Nixon or Reagan or President Bush. There were no issues of taxes or defense policy or foreign policy why anyone might have voted Republican over the last 40 years.

It's just wrong. It says Richard Nixon built a silent majority out of lower and middle class folks. I'm sure he did better among wealthier voters. Hubert Humphrey did better among lower and middle class folks.

So it's not even empirically true, but it shows such contempt for the American public.

Little Juan has a problem. He’s against racism but the Democrats are not. What’s he to do? He’s at odds with DNC policy and history, and that’s why he seems on both sides of the race issue so often.

As for Michelle Obama and her husband, Barak Hussein, they are just as racist as anyone. It comes from their church and association with black liberation theology.

Regardless, I cannot envision Aunt Ester in the White House. And, once Obama is elected, if, IF, he reverts back to his pals (Rev Wright, Farrakhan or any of the others), it’s too late. Same thing with Hillary, for that matter. I’m not sure America wants a return of either the Clinton’s or Rodham’s hanging around the White House.
