Nice Try, Arianna

Written by Sheila Kihne.

In case you missed Bah-Bwa Wa-Wa filling in for George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" today, you missed a "View" like panel with Walters showing her own early-80's Cosmo article in the same issue as Scott Brown's co-ed modeling gig.  You also missed the seldom-seen Roger Ailes, CEO of Fox News,  who tried to use some self-deprecating humor but ended up being attacked by Arianna Huffington.  Huffington decried the language of Fox News, chastising Ailes for Glenn Beck's use of the word "slaughter"(in reference to the likes of Hitler, Stalin and Mao).  Ailes reminds Huffington of the nasty personal attacks (he's a "malignant tumor") on her blog to which she feigns confusion.

Great blog post by "Sarah in Italy:  Who's Inciting Who?" She does all the research about Huffington's weak-attack.  She even catches the Puffington Post pull down their first try at an explanation for the blog Ailes references. 

So typical of the lefties who simply can't take the new wave of conservative push-back on their progressive world-view being shoved at us.  You see they can say any nasty things they want, but they're still the "intellectuals".  How much intellect does it take to come up with "Michelle Bachmann is crazy and Sarah Palin's stupid?"  I mean, really.

This is the way of the elitist snobs on the left.  The same people who claim to be such caring human beings throw the nastiest of barbs.   Of course it's a tactic and simply a way to discredit people.  When you have the majority of New York and Washington media-types subscribing to such methods, they're  efffective.  The only problem is that now they're trying to discredit half the country.  As James Taranto observed in the WSJ last week, Americans were wise and wonderful when Barack Obama was elected!  Now we're a "nation of dodos."

Be careful, mainstream media:  Your disdain is showing.
