In Wake of Primaries, Clueless MSM Suffering from Shock and Awe

Now that Christine O’Donnell and other insurgents have won their respective primaries with upset victories in Delaware and elsewhere, it’s absolutely fascinating to watch the dinosaur media’s antics as they drink from the same vat of Kool-Aid and form what’s almost an identical narrative:

“Hooray! The GOP just lost its chances to take the Senate.”

“This proves that moderates have no home in the GOP.”

“Even real Republicans ( whom we normally despise) are joining in characterizing this as an extreme movement.”

What we’re seeing here, of course, is the reaction of the Old Guard – both the GOP and the media - to a revolution in the making. And they don’t like it

King George thought the revolutionaries were extremists too....yawn. Those who think Liberty is extremist have no place in this country, none whatsover. They should go away, form their own slave state and rot in it.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.

And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

"Now that Christine O’Donnell and other insurgents have won..."

Hey “Journolists”...just wait until we start licensing your ranks and begin the new “McCarthy hearings” on you and your leftist propagandist buddies.

ya, anything that upsets the apple cart is extreme... No, extreme is taking the ruling class out and literally hanging them, like in third world countries. I’m sure some among us would be happy to accommodate that view of extreme, but all are too busy looking for work and caring for their families... Fortunate for the ruling class...

Republican voters are being castigated for electing people with strong ideologies. Meanwhile I have not seen a single editorial or snarky comment from the media about Rangel’s brilliant constituents for renominating him.

I’ve been alive 64 years and I’ve NEVER seen the MSM have a biggest hissy-fit than I’ve seen them have today - not even Watergate. It’s so pathetic, it’s comical.

They are irrelevant, desperate, dying and grasping at straws.
