Thanks much for the ping. Just curious... Any connections between Tapper and Hillary? I’m guessing that Hillary is going to primary against Obama, but I could be wrong. This might be part of the opening salvo against his re-election.

Regardless, I’m glad SOMEONE is pointing out the hypocrisy of Obama’s administration and his friends...

It seems like the MSM could be turning on 0bama and the White House!!!

Yep, quite liberal as they are, it's getting to them. The "shut-up kid, just listen" manhandling of the press is paying dividend!!

It's about time.

Yeah Obama didn’t hear it..sure he didn’t..and he also didn’t hear anything Reverend Wright was saying in that church for 20 years..poor guy..maybe Obama needs a hearing aid, he keeps on missing things.

With ears as big as his you would think he would hear everything within 100 yards.

Hoffa is head of the Teamsters.
It was Trumpka, head of the AFLCIO, who said that.

Okay, well, some of us covered the campaign, and recall a time when somebody made some harsh comments about then-Senator Obama during the introduction at a McCain rally, and the Obama campaign was offended, and expected an apology, Senator McCain came out and did so.

Good thing somebody has a memory. LOL

During the interview Tapper mentions McCain apologizing for “harsh rhetoric” towards Obama by a speaker preceding him at a rally in 2008. The person speaking the “harsh rhetoric” was conservative talk show host Bill Cunningham. His “harsh words” towards Obama consisted of calling Obama by his full name including his middle name Hussein. Boy, that sure was on par with “taking out those sobs” wasn’t it? (smirk)

“Is that the standard now?

Jay Carney: (inaudible)

Jake Tapper: I’d rather not have to do this Washington kabuki every time something happens, but if that’s the standard, if that’s the standard…

Jay Carney: The standard is we should focus on the actions we can take to grow the economy and create jobs, instead of focusing on kabuki theater.

Fred Lucas: Does the President find the comments appropriate?

Jay Carney: Can we move on?”

Non-answer. The President finds the comments appropriate. Take Lucas out, that son-of-a-b@#$.

So the clear requirement for all introductions of GOP candidates going forward must include, “Focus on the Democrats, and let’s take the sons of a bitches out!” I think it should even go into every flyer. The sooner the better.

If we tried it, the MSM would remember the 'civility' thing and quickly condemn us... Actually, it WOULD be a good idea... show them for the double standard, biased $*&#@$%^ they really are...

if that’s the standard, then

Nope, the standard is, and will perpetually be, a double one.
Conservatives' statements will be twisted and called "racist code language", and 'rats will be able to call for extermination camps for conservatives with impunity.

Any connections between Tapper and Hillary?

Here's a little anecdote from a column about Tapper written by Howard Kurtz in the WaPo dated March 2, 2009:

When Tapper bumped into HRC recently, he asked which of the titles that she's had over the years she would prefer. She replied, "I would prefer any of them to what we call you when you're not around."

One would suppose that Tapper isn't among HRC's best friends. He also happens to be Jewish (HRC has been known to have antisemitic tendencies) and he also once dated Monica Lewinsky.

Wow... OK, that would blow my theory out of the water! lol

I didn’t know Tapper was Jewish, and I didn’t know he dated Lewinsky either (who incidentally is in the news today too).

“Did he mean that?”

Yes. Yes, he did. Every syllable. I hope they do it.
