An ugly start to Rick Perry’s campaign (WaPo resorts to Tucson Shooting admonitions)

Washington Post ^ | August 16, 2011 | Editorial Board

[RightGeek]

Maybe the swells on the WaPo editorial board would like some cheese with their whine?

[Nervous Tick]

>> he should apologize.

I happen to agree.

“Dear Washington Post,

I’m really sorry Ben Bernanke is a treasonous SOB. America deserves better!

Yours,
Rick”

[ClearCase_guy]

But there has never been a whisper, let alone any evidence, that Mr. Bernanke’s actions have been motivated by anything but patriotism and determination to see the U.S. economy regain its footing.

The Obama Administration is trying to destroy this country, and they are having a lot of success at this task.

I haven't whispered this. I've said it pretty loudly. Lots of times.

I guess Perry is THE real Straight Talk Express! But the MSM won't see it that way!

Slide to 9:20 into the broadcast (Rick Perry cold glass of water GOP has been crawling over sand to drink -- Perry expressing what a large swath of Republican's believe about Obama and how he feels about America).

"If Mr. Perry has evidence to the contrary, he should present it. If not, he should apologize."

And if Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden have no evidence that the tea party is made up of terrorists, they should apologize Washington Post.

" ....In the days after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in Tucson, there was widespread revulsion at the nastiness of much political rhetoric, and widespread commitment to argue about issues without questioning opponents’ motivations or character. Mr. Perry’s presidential campaign, not yet a week old, has reminded us of why the revulsion was so warranted. "

I must have missed the Post's article on their outrage over Obama cusing the hostage takers analogy with TP members, over Biden calling them 'terrorists' and Chuck Schumer saying (and demonstrating) that the tea party had a gun to the head of their opponents.

...if you watch the video, you’ll hear a few nervous laughs from the small crowd ...

Because to most, this is not a laughing matter. I didn't take Perry's comments as a one liner. He meant what he said. We all know the Regime is going to try and do this and it is about time they get called out on this Treason.

As for small crowds, how about the paltry 500 people showing up to see a sitting President yesterday? I notice very few pictures coming out of all the adoring fans showing up for Obummer.

This actually is Rick Perry's first real test... if after having said the TRUTH, he backs down and apologizes.... then we will know that he is weak. If however when challenged on this... he doubles down! then we will know we have a real fighter and a real winner!

Lets hope he turns out to be a fighter, because we already have enough girly men in Washington.

Did he also say, they would treat all those anti illegal racists in Arizona the same way.

But there has never been a whisper, let alone any evidence, that Mr. Bernanke’s actions have been motivated by anything but patriotism

LOL. Is this the new standard the Post is going to adhere to? What about back in 2008 when Bernanke was accused of deliberately hurting the poor to prop up his rich Goldman Sachs buddies? Did the Post faint over that? We all know the double standard so railing against it isn't much use. But I don't think I've seen it used so blatantly before.

And besides, if Bernanke inflates the currency to help Obama get elected, what else would you call that?

[Chaguito]

But then again the WaPo has always championed the cause of people who act in ways that destroy our country (Just finished “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers - no. 1 supporter of Alger Hiss: WaPo).

I didn’t see anything in Perry’s statement that challenged Bernanke’s “good faith”. Just the destructiveness of his actions.

[RoosterRedux]

Hey WAPO, politics ain't beanbag.

My guess is Perry is just getting started...so if you are easily offended, you might want to cover your ears.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....."He is an extremely astute politician with a keen sense of where voters are, and he has great instincts on message. Perry has ruthless discipline and communication. They say in politics, “Don’t let your boot off an opponent’s neck till Election Day.” Perry doesn’t take his boot off till a year after the votes have been counted and the opponent has faded into oblivion."..... source

If our eventual nominee isn’t causing daily heartburn for the Washington Post’s editorial board...they need to step it up.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Just the media seeking to insulate their little baby Barack again.

[Flintlock]

Hoooooray for Rick!
After all, anybody who LOVES Muslims and Illegal aliens—and wants more of them—can’t be all bad!

Or, can he?

[Noumenon]

Oh, boo-freakin’-hoo. Where was this bozo during the Bush presidency?
