Krauthammer rips the left saying the only story here is the cosmic hypocrisy of the Democrats, especially given Obama’s big speech on civility in January. It’s all about double standards and civil discourse is a one way street if you’re a Democrat:

    …HOFFAS comments will be the SPARK that will set the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS AFIRE towards a landslide VICTORY for a Conservative Presidential Candidate in 2012 !!!!”

    P.S. Sarah Palin is my choice in 2012 !

    • Anonymous

      Have yet to throw my support behind any candidate yet – but I totally agree Hoffa’s comments are backfiring and energizing conservatives (the opposite of what he intended). The more they show their ‘real selves’ the more determined we work to bring major change in Washington DC!

    This is nothing new, the Right has been dealing with this for years and will continue to until a more balanced, professional journalism appears.

    • Anonymous

      There was a brief period when journalism was somewhat “professional.” When even a liberal like Walter Cronkite would hit the Democrats with tough, misery-inducing questions. One of the last of that breed was Sam Donaldson, who always leaned hard left, but still asked embarrassing questions of even the most beloved liberal icons.

      But the press has always been about flogging papers, however you have to do it. Read about James Callender, for example. Once in a while a guy like Major Garret breaks through to represent a more idealistic, professional outlook on “journalism.”

      But the vast majority of journalists are just “people writing and saying stuff.” That’s the full formula. It’s why the new media is kicking the old media’s a$$.

        It was a long, slippery slope from the likes of Edward R. Murrow down to the pit inhabited by Dan Rather.

          If Edward R. Murrow couldn’t see the real issue in the McCarthy hearings about reds in the State Dept and elsewhere, then I don’t see him as any different than a useful idiot, for all his seeming ‘gravitas.’ Sam Donaldson was a puke. And Cronkite has the blood of 1.5 Million Cambodians on his dead hands.

            “Edward R. Murrow was anti-communist, while maintaining his deep rooted passion for civil and political liberties. He felt McCarthy was leading a devastating campaign against innocent citizens, backed by unproven facts.”
            The Cold War Museum, Vint Hill Virginia.
            No question there were communist sympathizers in government, academia, entertainment and other areas of the citizenry but McCarthy wielded too wide a brush and ruined a lot of innocents. This is what Murrow stood against.

        All the left has now is the George Soros controlled hatefest called Media Matters – once again, trying to slam FOX News, saying that they doctored Hoffa’s quotes.

        Mainstream journalism is dead, with a few exceptions (like Jake Tapper today, like Major Garrett) and here we are on the Internet, the last frontier for news – a medium the left is desperately trying to control but is failing on all fronts.

        To paraphrase Marshall McLuhan’s’ famous quote that “the medium is the message” – in the case of the MSM- the medium is no longer the message – it is a tool of personal attacks, threats and vitriol, proven soundly today with Hoffa’s threats toward the Tea Party.

          I think you’re misunderstanding McLuhan’s quote. The medium is the message. You don’t need to look further for the corruption we call our government. They are for all intents and purposes one and the same.

          • Linky1

            I didn’t misunderstand McLuhan’s quote-only pointing out that the medium is no longer carrying the message (i.e. news, opposing points of view) – it has turned into a forum for desperate despots to foist ad hominem attacks on rivals instead of debating policy.

          What did they “doctor” them with? His own words, perhaps.

          Breitbart calls it the Democrat-Media Complex. He’s right on target.

    I don’t really know why we’re surprised or even shocked anymore. After all, it’s ALWAYS been about double standards. Even if the hate is getting more personal and disgusting.

    • Anonymous

      The only thing that shocks me, given the age of the US population, is that the liberals can still get the conservatives to fall for trying to hold liberals to whatever standardard they used last week or last year.

      Just fire back. That fat boy never did an honest day’s work in his whole life. At least his father built a union by actually beating unwilling truck drivers over the head with a club. That may not be honest work either, but at least it’s “work,” sort of.

    What’s more disturbing is how not one liberal has apologized for this nonsense and I can’t figure how Carney kept a straight face when the matter came up.

    They all change the subject –

    Where is the MSM? I guess they are really, really showing their true colors now.

    The silence is deafening.

    I wonder if Jake Tapper will move to Fox, now that he realizes what hypocrites the MSM are. I doubt it – but my hope is that ALL the talent from the MSM joins FOX.

    Civilty ? Not with the libs –

      The mainstream screedia has been out of control for decades. I don’t think the support for Hoffa’s rule exists even in his ranks. They are as oppressed by the need to keep silent as, say, the Iranian secular citizenry.

    How appropriate that a Labor Day event would come to represent Obama’s Waterloo moment for the 2012 presidential re-election bid.

    The fact that the spin seems to be centered around the ever so weak talking point of “Hoffa does not speak for Obama” glaringly demonstrates the incompetance of this WH to deal with the gaffs of its allies. Pathetic. Amateurish. Ineffective.

    Hearing Hoffa say take them out, is pretty funny. To bad the muscle in the Gambino Family, did not take it the way we are supposed to. Otherwise his Dad would not be in a 40 gallon drum, somewhere in a landfill in Jersey.

    How much money is funneled into James Hoffa salary, by hard working union members, that first to they Democrats, then to the union. He does not care about you workers at all . He cares about re-electing BHO and all the free hookers , he gets on every trip to Nevada.
    People wake up, they are stealing from you on every pay cheque.

    You’d think that this thug Hoffa would be sensitive to such language as his own father was “taken out” by the mob, and I don’t mean to lunch, either.

  • Jack Bryan

    Just more BS to keep everybody distracted about what’s really going on. Hoffa (who nobody was talking about beforehand) says something stupid and then everybody has to blow more hot gas about it for a whole day. Meanwhile Europe is imploding, Libya is being taken over by NATO-supported Al-Qaeda, U.S. troops are protecting the poppy fields in Afghanistan, Obama is giving guns to Mexican drug cartels, and toxic banks are about to send us into a depression. But no, let’s waste more time talking about “the discourse” and “double standards”. For myself I have no double-standard. Both Obama and Rick Perry suck, and neither one should be President. There.
