Thugocracy: FL Reporter Asks Tough Questions & 'The One' Strikes Back
By Dirty Harry on General
Someone finally asks the Obama campaign some tough questions and the campaign responds in a way designed to put all of the media on notice – not that the media would ever ask Obama the kind of questions that would put them in line for this kind of retribution – not when Joe the Plumber's tax liens are at issue.
>>>>>>>>>>>> WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?
West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.
"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said.
West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.
Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.
"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.
McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
An honest, non-corrupted media would rally around WFTV – would push back in unison to make clear to Lightworker and his surrogates that this type of payback is unacceptable in response to nothing more than a few tough questions. The reporter wasn't even all that aggressive. She asked her question, got an answer, and moved on… Personally, I'd have hammered on the Obama camps' lies about Ayers and Wright and taxes and public financing and tax cuts and Rezko and his shady home deal and who his drug dealer was and…
Dear Obama-Tank Media: Should Obama win, this is just the beginning and you will find it difficult to control the monster you've created; and a public already furious with you will not be terribly sympathetic.
So's ya' know. |
