Michele Bachmann: 'The 3,400 Mainstream Media Members Are 1% Part of Obummer`s Propaganda Army-

The other 99% is his wife`s big mouth

Another way of putting it is that if the MSM personnel all lived in one town it would be far to the left of Berkeley or Santa Cruz California.

There was no gaffe.

Back in the days of Concord and Lexington, the surveyor that had determined the exact location of the state line between New Hampshire and Massachusetts was a well-connected inebriate and so people weren’t sure if those locations were actually in New Hampshire or in Massachusetts on the exact date of the battles. It’s actually a very murky part of our history and Bachmann’s remarks very accurately reflected the contemporary confusion.

Wonder how many of these ankle biters would like to take a quiz on Revolutionary war battles?

You used the right word - Propaganda.

The enemy is definitely from within and it wants total control.

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dustbin of history.

By the way, this Raymond Aroyo guy is real creepy. When I first heard him I had no idea he was a male stand-in for Laura Ingraham. He sounded identical to her when she had laryngitis. He had exactly the same intonation, turn of phrase, and sense of humour.

Not just members, they are card-carrying charter members!

Hard to believe. Concord, MA is 18 MILES due south of the NH border, and Lexington 22 miles from the border.

Concord and Lexington evolved from the Mass Bay Colony long before there was even a name for ‘New Hampshire’.

Sadly both towns became strongholds of the anti-Trinity Unitarians, including Ralph Emerson and David Thoreau.

Bernard Goldberg laid out the winning strategy in the final chapter of his book about the press and zer0bama “A Slobbering Love Affair.” Goldberg presented it as a potential nightmare scenario, but applied carefully and not directly by the candidate it is a sure way to defeat zer0’s shock troops AKA the media. He quotes Pat Cadell speaking about a possible consequence of the press having destroyed its own credibility.

begin Pat Cadell quote:

...who gets up at the start of his campaign and says “I want you to see the press. They are the enemy of the American people. They will do anything they can to stop me because they want to stop you.” And the American people will believe it. What if this is the most dangerous man that ever came along? Nobody will care what the press says.
