Crying "foul" over questioning Dean's inane statements?
Kit over at euphoricreality pointed me towards the latest buzz the left is attempting to stir up over Fox Anchor Brian Wilson's questioning of "dizzy" Dean over within the comforting "home field" confines of Harry Reid's office the other day. I think ol' Kit went yard on this one:
Paranoid Much?
Brian Wilson, a reporter for FOX News, had the audacity to break the “rules” yesterday at a cozy photo-op held in Sen. Harry Reid’s private office.
What rules, you ask? Michelle Malkin gives a hint: “Only incredibly inspid[sic] and dull questions for Dems allowed!” I mean, God forbid they actually get asked a question they’d have to stop and think about.
At any rate, naughty Brian raises his voice, he talks over people, and asks Dean the same question, three different times, in three different ways. I like this one best:
[Wilson] asked Dean “if people are focused on the other things that you’ve said about hating Republicans, about Republicans being dishonest and then this latest comment about the Republican Party is full of white Christians. You say you hate Republicans — does that mean you also” hate white Christians?
Nice one, Brian. No wonder His Screechness didn’t answer. Later, horrified Hill staffers poured their hearts out in an email to Wonkette (who redefines the word “trashy”, but don’t get me started). Reading their email reminds me of how much I hate whiners. They actually wondered whether Wilson was a “rogue Republican staffer” because *gasp* he didn’t have his press credentials on and he asked “incredibly pointed questions”. [You mean, questions that require honesty, intelligent forethought, and/or a sense of personal responsibility.]
Bottom line is, [Dean should think before opening his mouth..., er, strike that] Dean should talk, all the time, at every opportunity. In fact, everyone needs to email Dean and ask for an interview. Make sure you tell him you’re white and Christian. Oh yeah - tell him you drive a truck with a Confederate flag in the back too, just to confuse him. If you really want to have some fun, finish it all up by saying you’re gay.
Preach on, Howard. We love you. I’m singing Welcome to Dean’s Jungle right now in solidarity.
Political Teen has the video, which is amusing if you like to see key Democrats looking rather like a deer just before being hit by a car. Then again, you could just turn on FOX for that. Captain Ed has something to say too, as well as Polipundit, who reports that Brian Wilson is not a “big moose”, as some have called him. He is, in fact, a gazelle.
UPDATE: So, um, if Howard Dean and Dr. Phil were in a fight, who would win? AYC has the answer.
So, let me summarize: the Democrats are outraged, outraged I say, over the fact that a reporter was permitted to ask a non-liberal leaning "unfriendly" question of the controversial DNC chairman? The only explanation I can think of of this is that Brian must not have seen the neon flashing "Softballs Only" sign over the front door or Reid's office.
And when you really think about it, this in itself is the height of hypocrisy: based on the mind boggling number of anti-Republican and anti-US victory stories that hit the msm on a daily basis, coupled with the fact that virtually any and all questions EVER asked of a Republican by the msm registers about an "11" on a 10-point hostility meter--the fact that the Democrats are whining like infants and trying to get mileage out of this one question by one Fox News reporter is pretty telling about the desperate mindset of the "party of Jefferson". (Sorry Tom, didn't mean to disturb your eternal rest there...).
Still I'd love to see Dean weather this latest storm: he is too valuable a member of the Republican team. I mean, this guy is the David Duke of the Democrat Party, except with more coverage. But alas I think the few wiser heads left in this anachronism of a party will eventually jettison him. [sigh...]. Maybe I need to stop my "ridicule Howie" posts and encourage my fellow conservatives to do the same--but I can hardly help myself; he is a conservative pundit's wet dream...
Heh.
