The Clintons Play Dirty -- And The Media Lets Them

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


“They’ll take him out back to the alley and lynch him.” The Golf Channel’s response? She was promptly suspended without pay for two weeks.

The reaction to Hillary using a double entendre which means both a gardening tool and a racial epithet for Barack Obama on The Today Show?

Crickets chirping. Silence. Nothing. Nada. Not one word from Al Sharpton, not a peep out of NBC.

Once again, the double standard is laughable. The righteous indignation from the left (and left-leaning media) usually reserved for any and all Republicans is always absent when it comes to liberal Democrats.

Picture Rudy Giuliani being asked about Obama’s candidacy and saying, “Let’s just call a spade a spade here. He can’t win.”

I can hear the boiling tar and feather-gathering already. We all know that “calling a spade a spade” isn’t any more racial than a gardening tool. But if a Republican, any Republican, were to use that phrase in any context for a black opponent it would be all over for that candidate. The media would come unhinged.

Hillary says that Barack Obama “hasn’t done the spade work” in front of millions of viewers?

Not a single, solitary word. And she goes on to post the upset victory over Obama in New Hampshire later in the week.

Dick Morris is a political genius.

Thanks for you comments you rock!

Thanks Mike Gallagher
If Dick Morris is sooooo smart why isn't he doing something about this plague on our nation? If he can predict what they are going to do, (or is he telling them what to do) Then let him do a favor for all of us by running ahead of them, set a trap for them and then send them to our enemies so they can work their demoralizing ways there. Clintons turn Americans against fellow Americans. Democrats agains Republicans. The last time I looked both Democrats and Republicans were Americans. Hillary made a statement in one of her speeches lately that is so telling, she said,"I have fought Republicans all of my life." Please give us a break and lets get on with real life and get rid of the Soap Opera duo we don't need them in the White House or anywhere else in the United States.
