The best thing about this election cycle is seeing the return of the classic political machine...Chicago Style. And no it does not make pizza.
Here is the process:
Opposition POV is scheduled to be expressed on some media outlet:
Media outlet (75% of the time) invites target of opposition on to counter or at least put the criticism in context.
Target's representatives decline to show up
Target uses its network to get the rabble out.
Rabble attempts to shutdown opposition via mob tactics and to stifle debate.
Opposition (for the time being) tells them to go fark themselves. the Rabble does not see how fascist they are being instead relying on ad hominem attacks.
Repeat cycle until the Democrat Party gains enough power and influence to bring back the "fairness doctrine" which while sounding nice effectively shuts down free speech...all the while claiming to uphold...rather regulate it making it...not free.
Stanley Kurtz on the x720 program in Chicago last night began to feel this macine at work.
Multiple articles proclaiming him a slimy character assassin and the like as well as a deluge of phone calls and angry emails flooded the show.
This was in response to an "action call" by the Obama campaign and a great deal of misinformation...including their lack of knowledge that the Obama campaign was in fact invited to be on the program.
Not only did they decline to be on the program but they hung up not even really giving the show's producer a fair hearing.
The results of the show were as follows:
Proof by both the foundation and external observers that they ~110 Million Dollar grant and matching funds FAILED to improve public education in any meaningful way.
At no time did Kurtz ever call Obama a terrorist nor did he ever say that he and Ayers shared every single point of view.
He reported the facts that he had uncovered and aside from the waste of about 50 million tax payer dollars (no one gives a crap about the other ~$60M matched by local business owners and philanthropists except for the fact they got bilked).
The host did challenge Kurtz while on air in a very good and intelligent manner. He allowed Kurtz to respond and it was a very good program.
Callers were frequently uninformed as to the offer Barack's campaign. And they were unsatisfied with the efforts of the station to get a challenger on. The truth is that the station made a good faith effort and Obama's supporters just wanted to silence citicism.
a bunch of numb nuts.
