ELITIST, OUT-OF-TOUCH MEDIA COMPLAIN ROMNEY NOT REGULAR GUY ... Ann Coulter
Ann Coulter Dot Com ^ | 19 Sep 2012 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 09/20/2012 12:34:33 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Only our totally unbiased watchdog media could turn the burning of U.S. embassies in countries where Barack Obama had recently supported mob revolts into Mitt Romney's blunder. Journalists couldn't risk having Obama's campaign slogan "Osama is dead" being amended with "and so is our ambassador."

After our ambassador to Libya was murdered in a preplanned, coordinated attack on our embassy last week, preceded by an attack on our embassy in Egypt (and followed by attacks on our embassies in Yemen, Indonesia, Tunisia and Lebanon), Romney criticized the Obama administration for "sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt."

He was referring to a statement put out by our Cairo embassy before the ambassador's murder, criticizing an American filmmaker whose YouTube trailer was the alleged provocation for the attacks. Attacks that happened to occur on the anniversary of 9/11.

The NFM (Non-Fox Media) uniformly denounced Romney's criticism and pronounced his campaign finished.

The Obama administration insisted that Romney had his "facts" wrong: Obama had absolutely nothing to do with the statement -- the embassy staff was freelancing -- and, even if the White House had approved it, it was a good statement because the riots were caused by the movie trailer, and furthermore, the embassy statement was issued before the riots even began.

...the Obama administration detained the American filmmaker and asked Google to block the allegedly offending video. (Take the week off, First Amendment.)

Absolutely chilling. Where is the outrage from any Republican in the House or the Senate?????

Now, a week later, Romney has said something, again. (Damn him!) This provoked another round of hysterical denunciations from the media.

At a private gathering, Romney told donors that Obama had a lock on the 47 percent of voters "who pay no income tax" and "believe the government has a responsibility to care for them." This was deeply offensive to people who pay no income tax and believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.

LOL!

She hits the nail on the head, but I’d still like to feed her a few cheeseburgers.

Sigh...

Ann can still belt them out of the park. This is as classy of a takedown on the MSM as I have ever heard.

I still have resentments about her supporting Mitt FIRST, when she should have been behind a genuine Conservative, but.... what can I say, she does kick ass when she writes.

POW!!!

The Google thing was chilling and got essentially no coverage. That's the "Party of Free Speech" trying to shut it down. /s

A very popular tech site I visit, no stranger to political topics only covered that Google had decided the video did not violate its Terms of Use. The site did not state the White House had requested the review.

I know with absolute certainty that request would've generated hundreds of comments if it happened under a Republican administration. The site and comments have a strong Leftward bias.

Classic Annie. So glad she's on our side ...

They had to arrest the filmmaker so they could deport him...on November 7 to Egypt.

As one of the 47% who pay no income tax, I’m voting against Obamanation. Ditto for many people I know!
