NBC's Curry: Santorum About to Go Through 'Meat Grinder;'
Newsbusters ^ | January 05, 2012 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 01/05/2012 9:46:29 PM PST by Mozilla

On Thursday's NBC Today, co-host Ann Curry predicted that following his strong finish in Iowa, Rick Santorum was "about to face the meat grinder of tough scrutiny for the first time." Turning to Meet the Press host David Gregory, she wondered: "So is he going to have to change his conservative message as he's looking...into New Hampshire, which is a much less conservative state, David?"

Gregory suggested some lines of attack: "Well, he's going to be under a very intense scrutiny by the other candidates....you could go back about apparent contradictions between small government conservativism and some of his activism. Some of his attempts to moderate his positions...when he was running for re-election in Pennsylvania in 2006."

Gregory concluded: "So all of this is going to be on the table and Santorum has not gotten a hard look, not by the media, and certainly not by the other candidates." Curry added: "That certainly is about to begin."

She should know; she’s one of the members of the biggest part of the grinder.

I think Santorum knows this and is ready. It happens to every single conservative who gains any prominence because we have a rotten, biased media.

“I’m sure Obama went through the meat grinder /sarcasm”

LOL

LMSM forgets that Rick Santorum won 4 times, out of 5, in a Blue State. He will be ready for them, and conservative radio and so many FReepers, will be watching his back.

Don’t count on attacks by his conservative rivals.

Look to Romney, if he dares, and to the lamestream with snark and “some say” Couric and her ilk.

From my post yesterday, I mean it as much today!:

"I say, any American liberal journalist who in the next few days and weeks takes to writing unsubstantiated stuff on Santorum as a way to get him out of the race, like they did with others, we get the names of those journalists, their records (housing purchases, political donations, Federal taxes, DUIs, arrest records, educational records, incriminating photos from facebook or others from student days, you name it), marriage/divorce proceedings, and we do the same damn thing to them. In fact, we pick only ONE OF THEM as a representative. We freeze that target, focus in on him or her, and give them the asbestos underwear treatment which will humiliate them in their professional and personal life. Just because they are a journalist in one profession, does not give them the right through innuendo and unnamed sources, to ruin those in other professions. If we make an example of one of them, then the others just MIGHT BACK OFF. I am reallly serious about this. Going scorched earth on certain Politico, WaPO, CNN reporters and/or the like, in a heaping round of "payback". Otherwise they will keep it up all season until next November in order to relected their boy Obongo. Let the "Herman Cain Case" serve as a wake up call, Conservatives. Who is in with me on this? Who will help FReeper Research anyone found engaging in this character assassination through the fourth estate of some of our good Conservative choices for President left in the ring? We do know it is coming. It is a given. We ought to have a counter attack strategy in place and they ought to also know in advance we have it constructed." --posted on January 5, 20122012 12:56:14 by AmericanInTokyo (

Sounds good to me. I am with you. The media is the enemy because they want to bring out the knives and attack all conservatives at any cost.

I really love this. I’m all for it, but how do we make what we find public? Aren’t they going to be in “circle the wagons” mode? (I don’t have facebook or twitter. I’m presuming these websites will suffice?)

I like your idea and have thought of it before, the problem is that even if they were exposed, nobody seems to care. A liberal journalist with a criminal history or tax problems or sexual affairs or bastard children? Who cares? Certainly not other liberal journalists. We would have to find information that they were not green or that they made a homosexual joke or that they drove an American car or that they drank Chablis from a Bordeaux glass.

It won't be easy.

Understand something, folks, Santorum’s time is coming, this week.

The Mainstream Media ABSOLUTELY HATES THIS GUY, because of his anti-gay stances. It was noted back in 2008 on FR that 58% of NBC News New York Staffers are GLBTQ. The Village Voice doesn’t call the New York Editorial Board “The Gay Mafia” for nothing, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is gay.

Being gay (Wink,wink) is literally a requirement for employment in many local news outlets now.

MARK MY WORDS, the venomous explosion of hatred you are going to see directed at him now, will make the orgy of media Palin hate PALE in comparison.

We are already seeing it.

I was chatting with my Pubbie precinct chair this afternoon, and we agreed that some precinct, or county chairman, must include language in the local platform requiring the ballot nominees for President, or Vice, to present their constitional credentials to the local governments before being allowed to be listed on the ballot.

What’s scaring the pubbies from directly confronting this poseur??

“”So is he going to have to change his conservative message as he’s looking...into New Hampshire, which is a much less conservative state, David?” “

If he does that then he is done. Hang in their Rick. Rise or fall based on the truth. Don’t let them ware you down. Sticking to your guns is one of your greatest assets. It worked well for Cain until he started to waffle and then the other issues came up.

Is this the same meat grinder that vetted the zero? Yep, thought so. God, these people in the media make me sick. I loathe every one of them.

I'm sure these "honest" brokers in the media will give Rick a fair shake.
