The timid souls of the Beltway right

This past Saturday syndicated radio host Neal Boortz presented the Media Research Center's annual Obamagasm award at the MRC's annual awards gala in Washington.

After watching a clip of ABC's Terry Moran gush about how Barack Obama, not unlike George Washington, had to take "a step down into the Oval Office," Boortz let fly.

Boortz zeroed in specifically on Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, "a convicted American domestic terrorist who, by God, wrote that book 'Dreams from My Father.'"

For a second, the Atlanta-based Boortz paused as through waiting for some sign of affirmation from this crowd of Beltway conservatives, many of them prominent.

Save, finally, for some scattered applause from the cheap seats, the affirmation was not forthcoming. "So hold me responsible," Boortz added, conceding the faux pas but not caring he made one.

Had I known, I could have warned Boortz. Since September 2008, when I first introduced the thesis on these pages that Bill Ayers was the primary craftsman of Obama's "Dreams," I have gotten the coldest of cold shoulders from our Beltway brethren.

In March 2009, when Grover Norquist graciously allowed me to present my argument at his famous Wednesday morning meeting, I actually got a few boos from the peanut gallery. Boos? What was that about?

Unlike Monica's dress, my thesis has no embedded DNA. Those who read my book "Deconstructing Obama" can only be 99 percent confident that I am right, and for the timid souls of the Beltway right, 99 percent is not nearly percent enough.....

Whoever our candidate is, he or she will be at a disadvantage with the media 98.7% on the side of Mr. Obama, not to mention academia, cable TV, Hollywood, hip-hop, the black press, left-wing radio, the nutroots, Broadway, network TV, the literary world, the Lavendar Mafia, the foreign press, many scientists and scores of others.

I call them “Stockholm Syndrome Conservatives”.

If it’s NOT the GOP’s favorite RINO or the Beltway’s pet Poodle, the so-called conservative press will also tear *her* into shreds.

I call them “Stockholm Syndrome Conservatives”.

But what's the threat that made them cave?

It will take a Braveheart indeed. Thanks for posting this - I just watched MRC’s DisHonor Awards earlier tonight, before I saw this thread. And yes, I also wondered about the lack of affirmation/applause when Boortz boldly pointed out what Ayers himself recently said - that BHO didn’t write the “autobiography” that helped him win the election.

One convert at a time !

I’ve gotten through to my daughter (now that she’s paying taxes :)).

Since the wife is “never” wrong, it may take until Nov 2012...

I met Mr. Cashill 12 years ago. What a fine and courageous man!! The fear of being labeled a kook prevents “consevative” Beltway “reporters” from saying what the know to be true. I’m sure that the pressure is relentless.
BUT, why columnists can’t peg a story off a comment such as Newt Gingrich’s “You have to be brain dead to believe that Vince Foster died at Fort Marcy Park” is unfathomable. Rapists and Communists like Clinton and Obama can only become President b/c OUR people are afraid to risk their cushy positions. Bob

Put simply, the enemy IS the Beltway and whomever is chosen to run can only win if the take on that establishment (both Left and Right) and take on the Media.

They’re held hostage by Saul Alinsky.
