The left leaning mainstream media is playing Political Whack-A-Mole with the Republican presidential candidates. As soon as one candidate pops up in the poles, they whack them down with whatever the media can hit them with, just like the arcade game.
The first one up was Michelle Bachmann. How dare a conservative woman win a straw pole? Immediately upon her rise to significance the usual suspects on the left trash her intelligence (despite her level of education and success as a tax attorney) and even trash her husband (dedicated Christians are always open season for secular humanist liberal hate squads). Journalists who saw their opportunity to bash and trash Sarah Palin fading away unloaded their Palin hatred on Bachmann in volumes. Never leaving some low points untried, Matt Lauer even indicated that if she continued to do well, his peers would send muckrakers out to pry into the private lives of all her children and foster children. Considering that foster children often already have had difficulties in life that make them vulnerable, this tactic would be ugly, unfair, and cruel. ***WHACK!!!***
Rick Perry made the “Gotcha” junkies jobs easier with a series of mis-speaks. Interestingly enough, they even bashed his positions on Gardisil vaccines and in-state tuition for illegals despite the fact that the left supports these positions. However, going negative on Republicans is their sport. Thus, they’ll even use statements they support to inflict a wound if they can. ***WHACK!!!***
Up rises Herman Cain. Now the Democrats feel they own the black community and all its votes. How dare a black man reject their party and the promises of dependance upon big government? In Cain the political left and the media left saw the greatest threat to their continued control of poor and minority votes. They need people whom they can make feels like victims of Republicans and Capitalism in order to promote big government Socialism. Due to the stakes at risk, all efforts were made to conduct a “high tech lynching.” Every statement Cain made was monitored, recorded, and twisted to make him seem stupid. (Per haps another stereotype?) The fact that Cain was successful in the private sector and not a career politician was even attacked. Left-wing think tanks and talking-point drones attempt to make his 9-9-9 plan look like a tax on the poor. When none of the previous attacks worked, in the style of Chicago thug politics, the left decided to frame Cain with something that would stick. What better than to accuse a black man of getting too fresh with white women? Two accusers were found in of all places, Chicago, and each had ties to Barack Obama’s political hit man David Axlrod. The media conveniently overlooked these facts and treated the unsubstantiated allegations tied to questionable motives as if they were proven facts. Truth be damned. The damage was done. ***WHACK!!!***
Up steps Newt Gingrich. Republicans recognize his past was less than perfect and Gingrich himself also admitted as much. He has also lived a better way of life and dedicated himself to God and country since leaving that past behind. However, for the lazy left that only forgives liberals, old news is now the latest revelation. All they have to do is pull old stories out of their hard drives and reprint them. Gingrich’s consulting income with unpopular organization is nothing new. What is new is that people have a new interest in Newt. Because of the second chance open-minded people are giving the former speaker, they will also be given ample doses of Newt’s old past as well by the same media that refused to look into Obama’s past in 2008. ***WHACK!!!***
The saddest part of this arcade game is the collateral damage the media left has done to our country. For example, America has put away negative stereotypes about black men and white women. However, the media elites used unsubstantiated allegations against Herman Cain to renew and reinforce this awful belief. Black men have been falsely accused and hung to death over this hate-based issue and Politico, the New York Times, NBC News and countless cosigners on the media left have made a sport of it. What evil minds these pseudo-journalists have that they are willing to perpetuate racism, sexism, and class warfare just to make sport for the sake of socialist victories. They care not whom they hurt, only that they prevail. ***WHACK!!!***
