The left-driven media in these final days before the election is making every last ditch effort they can to discredit one of the largest political movements in American history, the Tea Party. Meredith Vieira on the Today Show did her very best to throw Michele Bachmann off of the “you’re a social conservative bigot by association” cliff.  Vieira first tries to get Bachmann to denounce the Tea Party as “losing their way” because they supposedly took a stance on some social issues. Bachmann corrects Vieira so Vieira tries to play the “guilt by association” game with Bachmann. It’s interesting how conservatives are constantly forced to answer for all comments that all conservatives make but no one held Harry Reid accountable for Howard Dean’s view on the mosque. When the liberals disagreed over the Ground Zero Mosque nationally, where were the interviews asking them to denounce the each other’s positions?

Joy Behar later references the Vieira interview and shows total ignorance when it comes to Bachmann. Again, Behar tries to hold Vieira to the same standard that Vieira held Bachmann and it still didn’t take with Behar’s guests. Behar then goes off on Bachmann’s opposition to Obamacare and completely loses all form of sanity. She maniacally proclaims over and over again that Bachmann is against children. Behar really tries to argue that Bachmann, the woman who has had at least 23 foster children as well as children of her own, is anti-children. Behar not only insults her viewers by her lack of research on criticizing a candidate but she also insults and diminishes the children that Bachmann has cared for. I suppose it’s too much to expect a reasonable interview from Behar when on The View Behar shows she isn’t even familiar with one of the most cited CNN polls concerning the Ground Zero Mosque. Not to mention the fact that she stormed off stage in pseudo disgust on national television. (more…)

In June 2007 Castro’s Stalinist regime held a “tourism fair” in Havana to kick-off an ambitious plan to boost the Cuban military’s tourist booty. By some peculiar coincidence NBC’s Today Show decided to broadcast from Havana that very week. Amidst smiling, clapping, dancing tourists, Matt Lauer and Andrea Mitchell advised viewers on how to legally vacation in Cuba.

Don’t look for this from NBC, but Castro’s Soviet-trained and armed military and secret police own most of Cuba’s tourist facilities. Along with providing these inquisitive Cuban officials with certain “insights” regarding visitors to Castro’s fiefdom, this set-up also insures that most of the money that tourists spend in Cuba lands in the pocket of the only people in Cuba with guns.

Yet Castro apologists and/or agents (both on the payroll and off) keep insisting that a flood of rich Western tourists will magically smother Cuban Stalinism whereupon the island nation will quickly mutate into a bigger (and more historic and picturesque) Cozumel. This logic (which Matt and Andrea naturally shared) seems to go something like this: rewarding and enriching the KGB-trained and heavily armed guardians of Cuba’s Stalinist status-quo will magically convert them into instant opponents of that Stalinist status quo.

Amazingly, this line of reasoning fails to convince those with first-hand experience under Cuba’s Stalinist regime. But never mind this insufferable rabble of “Cuban-American right-wing crackpots!” and their congressional allies. And never mind the evidence. (more…)
