It Begins… Liberal Media Now Going After Bachmann’s Foster Children?
Campaign Trail Report.com ^ | 6/28/11 | Eric Odom

Good grief, we knew the leftists media would go after her once she found her footing in the campaign, but I don’t know if we ever expected it to come in this fast and furious. ABC News’ George Stephanopoulo unloaded both barrels and unleashed a scathing, ugly barrage of gotcha style questions upon Michele Bachmann.

Watch the interview below.

The media's obsession with Palin and Bachmanns family and bent on their harm is reminiscent of when Geraldine Ferraro ran for VP, right? (not)

” they need to be reminded that Obama got a pass on every aspect of his past.” .....

Every answer, every time, all the time, in every venue, should be just as you said exactly! Especially of, about and directly to George Steponallofus, who dared to suggest such an unconscienable idea!

Chances are such a dirty trick will backfire entirely on the media meanies and boost Michele Bachman into the stratisphere.

But how do you square that with her and her husband raising 23 foster kids? How many foster kids has Joy Behar or Whoopi ever raised? I’m sure that millionaires such as Joy or Whoopi have given money to causes, but, have they ever done hands-on work such as raising foster kids??????

It was using that description of 'raising 23 foster kids', that caused all this ruckus, you do not want to continue using that description.

They tried to go after the adoption of John Roberts’ children too. Trig Palin. People who would trash and ridicule a baby with down syndrome would obviously do anything.

The problem with Bachman is she doesn’t have the political savvy to avoid making statements that while correct, will be feasted upon by the leftist media. Minimum wage is a good example. Sure, eliminating the minimum wage would lead to more employment, but it isn’t worth pursuing because the MSM will beat you to death with it (as they are doing),

“....the media may well have to defend their total lack of interest in the criminal and traitorous associations of one Barack Husein Obama (aka/Soerto, et. al.)”

.
Only if Bachmann is willing to get into a fight with the MSM and draws attention to their blatant bias and prejudice.

So far, Republicans are known for their meekness and not agressiveness.

I’m a little worried too. She got her US History wrong this morning with ABC, mixing up John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

I think our conservative candidates need to stop trying so hard to impress the liberal media and the liberal interviewers.

Seriously, when she gets off her talking points, all she does is feed the developing media narrative.

The problem with everyone alive is that they don’t have the political savvy to avoid making statements that while correct, will be feasted upon by the leftist media. We can't blame every decent conservative for the insane, rabid attacks of the far left fringe and then complain when all we have left is Bob Dole, John McCain, and (heaven forbid) Mitt Romney. What we need to do is accept that imperfect display of "media savvy" and reject the bigotry and venom of the media. I'm okay with Bachmann's imperfections, as I am with DeMint's, Palin's, and Cain's. I'll take a basically good person with detectable flaws blown out of proportion by a sexist and anti-American media over an evil thug like Obama any day, regardless of how enthusiastically the media fawn over the community organizer's savvy.

they will be old news by the time 2012 really kicks into gear..... that depends on what the news was.

Out of 23 fosters, likely at least one of them have something negative to say. Often Foster kids are not well adjusted and conjur up all sorts of “incidents” to pay the foster parent back.

Feel sorry for Bachmanns. Watch this get real dirty!
