It’s lights, camera... and
drool all over Obama

Boston Herald, by Howie Carr

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 10/3/2012 5:46:17 AM

The only place to watch tonight’s presidential debate is on C-SPAN. You know what everyone on every network except Fox is going to say. Comrade Chris Matthews’ leg is going to be tingling out of control. Sgt. Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow will be breathlessly reading phony stories from the Internet about dissension in the GOP ranks. On CNN, “Republicans” Alex Castellanos and David Gergen will compare Barack’s closing statement to the Gettysburg Address and the Sermon on the Mount. David Brooks will swoon as he notes the perfect crease in Obama’s trousers. All of these trust-funded parrots —

The lies concocted by and spewing forth from the Court Eunuchs before, during and after the Court Eunuch moderated debate (sponsored by the Court Eunuchs) will be both uncountable and unaccountable.

Every "uh" and "duh" from Obama will be heralded as a new Gettysburg Address, and Romney will be condemned as racist for merely showing up. I can't wait.

Knowing I just have to watch the debate, trying to decide whether to have some wine or take a tranquilizer so that my blood pressure will not get too high! Definitely not watching anything but Fox or C-span. C-span, if Fox has an irritating Juan or other Democrat to lie about what we are seeing. To be "fair and balanced" you know.

I have a mute button on my keyboard, now when I turn on the debate on C-Span I can mute The Won and play solitaire when they show is arrogant face. I won't have to hear one single lisp of his if I'm quick enough.

The liberal media will declare Obama the 'winner' midway through the debate. The so-called conservative commentators on Fox will dutifully throw Mitt under the bus to prove their 'fairness'. Count on it. These are not debates. They are joint press conferences run by left wing media freaks. I don't know if I have the stomach to watch.

After the liberation of Paris, the French populace spontaneously rounded up the women (and in some cases "men") who had collaborated and cohabited with the occupying oppressors and submitted them to public humiliation and contempt by shaving their heads in the streets.

If we succeed in liberating our people from our own crowd of neo national socialists, we should have an analogous virtual head-shaving of our most flagrant media trollops.

Can't you just imaging Chris Matthews in blue dress drag with his combover hairdo missing? [Photoshop is your friend}

I don't envy Mr. Romney as he has to challenge Obama without disrespecting the office of the president - as though Obama has shown any respect for it. But since whatever Romney says that even remotely challenges Obama will be attacked - just go for broke.

I don't believe Romney has ever had to deal with someone like Obama his entire life, persona;l and professinally. The Romneys are good and decent people who associate with good and decent people. Romney hired and worked with and over good and decent people - not a punk like Obama

I just prayed for Mitt to have clear thoughts tonight and to destroy Obama in this debate.

I am glad he has the courage to take on this most dangerous of presidents we've ever had.

He is putting it all on the line for our country and I for one appreciate it. He has children and grandchildren and knows and loves the America we know. The great America. The "Sweet Land of Liberty, of Thee I Sing" America.

We sang My Country 'Tis of Thee every day in second grade in west Texas where I grew up in the 50s and 60s. We don't hear it much anymore if at all. Think of the first verse tonight as Mr. Romney speaks. I chokes me up when I think on it myself.

Mitt's mother once said that Mitt was her "miracle baby" as she brought him into this world at an unlikely stage in her later life. He might just be our country's miracle at this time in our lives, as he steps into the breech tonight.

This is serious business now. Go get 'em sir.

C-SPAN's numbers will be off the board tonight, and FOX will doubtless enjoy higher numbers than the dishonest, biased, number-distorting Old Media. It will be interesting to learn about the decreased viewing audience at CNNABCCBSNBCMSNBCPBS, and the audience reaction to moderator, Jim Lehrer.
.... Lehrer was once considered to be a fair type, but if I remember correctly, his liberalism was exposed during the last debate he moderated. Can't remember which debate it was, but I do remember being disappointed.

I look for him to be biased again. He is Old Media, and I trust none of them. Not one.

Let me give you tomorrows headlines ahead of time:

''Obama masterful in debate, Romney not so much.'' (CNN)

''Polls show Obama with 16% gain after debates.'' (NYT)

''Romney finished, will be impossible to overcome his destruction from the Master.'' (CBS)

''Pundits agree, no need for an election this time around. Four more years of Obama.'' (MSNBC)

''Was Romney really the right choice for Republicans?'' (FoxNews)

And own and own and own....

C-Span is THE place to watch this debate. They have become very adept at camera-use and, thank God, you have no commercials and no nattering ditzes and tingly commentators to endure.

Hooray for C-Span. That's where WE will be watching.

I'm praying for a serious clock-cleaning by Romney.

I watched C-SPAN for most of both the conventions. I hate all the blah-blah from the talking heads. I learned alot from the Democratic one--all abortion all the time. It was sickening. I kept thinking to myself 'THAT is all that is important to the Dems?' Sorry souls.
Will watch C-SPAN as usual.

Great column by Howie Carr! Thanks for posting, OP! I agree with #7 and #8. IMO, the "media" in this Country is every bit as corrupt and dangerous as "Tokyo Rose" during the war, because her intent was to discourage American Troops and the "msm" are spewing lies and fake "polls" to keep the most anti-American "president" EVER in the history of this Country in office! They are despicable, but they will NOT win, Mitt Romney and the American people will!

I can't believe that the news men and women don't realize what contempt we have for them. Just because we are somewhat polite, in contrast to them and the once reputable politicians of the left, doesn't mean that we don't think that they are fools who can't see the looming dictatorship that Obama is signaling. Have they no sense of History at all?

The last paragraph about Coakley and Brown reminds me that in January of 1980 the pundits were already calling the election for Carter - before the primaries even began.

Ignore them. It's much more healthy for all of us.

Yes, watch C-SPAN for the debate, and then turn it off before they start taking calls.

This is what i did for the Convention, and thereby was able to see all the speeches, many great ones, without inane commentary.

Howie is a hoot today.

Come on guys, our job is to ignore the noise and do everything in our power to defeat Obama.
This means pray, donate, volunteer, post winning polite comments all over national and local news sites, talk and write (politely and winningly) to everyone we've ever known about the debt (which IMHO is the most convincing argument we have).

This week, Pat Caddell called the media,
THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. Roger Simon wrote the socialist corrupted media will never be voted out of office. And this writer, long ago labeled them all Traitors to the Truth, all of them, The Mafia Media, the unionized Protection Racket to the current Imposter, his White House comrades and all of greed addicted big spending Congress, and every bureaucrat in Washington. A destructive lot of Beltway thieves topped off by the Orwellian media controllers like Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelley, Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, and sadly, too many socialist imposters on Fox TVNews, too. We are in deep trouble no matter who wins, because, as Roger Simon says, the media stays the same. These same destructive, socialist, communist, fascist driven unionized millionaires will continue to preach their Stalinist, Hitlerian collectivism to all beer drinking Americans no matter who wins. Howie Carr's idea of watching only CNN is bad enough because you will still have to hear enough lies to make you sick.

As a trend spotter, I note the press in this article is being referred to either as "court eunichs" [Steyn] or "castrati" [Ms. Lucianne, Rush]. In the past we have seen no agreement on pejorative usage. Some of us who eschew the use of asterisks, have referred to them as the "gay press,""ass press," "ass hats," "slobberers," "sex workers,""madcows," "Katie Courvas," "MSDNC," "Pravda on the Hudson," "tinglers" "renfields," "crapweasels,""jackwagons," "traitors," "internationalists," enemies of the state," and worse. After what appears to be a "come to Jesus moment" we apparently have the much needed consensus for the Chicago Style Rules Appendix: "'Castrated' shall be the approved epithet for the 4th Estate."

I am one of those who will not bother to watch this dog and pony show. As said previously, it will wind up with numerous proclamations of how Obozo "won" the debate, blah, blah, blah. In my lifetime (67yrs) I have NEVER seen one of these so called debates that was declared to be "won" by the Republican candidate. I suppose that is because all Republicans are clowns, ignorant, buffoons, etc. And by the way, how does one "win" a debate? I've always thought that a debate is a discussion in which opposing views were put forth. I guess I'm to dense to make the connection.

Is there a football game on tonight?

#9, good plan to head to church instead of having the blood pressure spike and headache. #14, you are exactly right, the media is our new Tokyo Roses wanting us to just fold before the election. As if we have no evidence that this man is incompetent to get this nation on track but keeps his promise to FUNDAMENTALLY transform the nation. Hmmm, we see that.

I too,shall be watching on c-span for the uninterrupted debate. However, perhaps you should remember that the c-span programming has taken a major left turn. They no longer make available "live" coverage of the WH briefings and if one checks, you will see much more programming featuring those we know are from Politico and their like.

Absolutely right about C-SPAN. FOX commentators are less in Obama's pocket but they too, like all commentators, blabber on and on about inane stuff like "his body language indicated confidence" and "his retort seemed to fall flat" like it's all just a stupid beauty contest.

I'd give anything for commentators to actually help us out -- point out what is being said, and not being said, about actual policies that affect the American people. Obama would carry entitlements right over a cliff, which is something that needs to be pointed out to younger voters: voting Obama is the same thing as eviscerating your own future social security. Why Romney doesn't point this out more bluntly, I don't know, but commentators sure don't pick up the slack. "Nice tie" is the level of it, from them.

This has been the most low key election I can remember. No rallies, signs or bumper stickers where I live. However, we Conservatives are burning beneath the surface. We are chomping at the bit to get to the polls and remove this existential threat to our nation. It will finally be our day of reckoning.

As for the debates? The response to the debates will be typical. Both sides will claim victory. Hopefully Mitt can convince women he's not coming after their body parts. Hurry Nov.

FOX has become unwatchable , MSNBC lite.
Just like Laura Ingraham and the Weekly Standard.
Romney has already won the debate as far as I'm concerned.
He's the polar opposite of that Marxist ,
America hating bum.
On stage , Obama could lose control of a major bodily function
and Brian Williams , Chuck Todd,
Dana Milbank, Scott Pelley , Joe Scarborough, et.al would
gush about how Obama emphasized
his point in such a unique way.
C-SPAN it is.

Speaking of drooling. Hannity played a tape on his radio show yesterday of a montage of girly man Stephanopoulos saying as far back as the GWB and Al Gorbot debates that the democrat won hands down. The way he gushed that Odumbo won all three debates against McCain was so laughable that I bet he got the vapors while he said it. Expect this nitwit and others in the MSM to go all gaga with praise for the Ogungan while hurling critism on Romeny's performance.

Nothing 0bama could say would swing me his way and no 'gaffe' by Romney could ever make me NOT vote for him.

I watch C-Span for events that might be edited or interrupted for commercial breaks on the other outlets, including FNC. However, the debate format accommodates commercial breaks, and this is not an issue tonight. Yes, FNC has Juan and Beckel and other liberal voices to prop up the "fair and balanced" thing. However, C-Span has their poorly-screened viewer comments (are those really all conservatives on the "Republican" line?) during breaks and after the event, which can be just as irritating to me. I'll watch FNC tonight to hear the take of a few people whose opinion I respect. My brain can filter out the others. Bottom line: it's a wash between C-Span and FNC on this particular event - take your pick.

DHAKA, Bangladesh - A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000. Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her. She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.

WASHINGTON — Five days before two bombs tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon, an intelligence report identified the finish line as an "area of increased vulnerability" and warned Boston police that homegrown extremists could use "small-scale bombings" to attack spectators and runners at the event. The 18-page report, similar to others sent to police and first responders before major events in the Boston area, was written by the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, which is funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security and helps disseminate intelligence information to local police and first responders.

Bad Faith and Benghazi

‘Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?” That was how then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton famously brushed off the question of when she knew that the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were, in fact, a terrorist assault and not a “protest” of an anti-Islam video that got out of hand. Clinton’s fans, in and out of the press,

Republicans on Thursday boycotted a congressional hearing for President Obama´s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, putting the nomination in doubt and enraging White House officials who dismissed the act as the most blatant case yet of GOP obstructionism. The boycott was a major blow to Gina McCarthy´s chances of winning a filibuster-proof confirmation vote in the Senate, given that, without the Republicans, progressives can´t even get McCarthy through committee. Republicans said they refused to move ahead on McCarthy until the EPA adequately responds to their questions about her,

CLEVELAND — The twin brother of kidnap victim Michelle Knight yesterday recalled his shock at seeing her alive for the first time in more than a decade. “When I saw her, she was white as a ghost,” Freddie Knight, 32, told The Post. “But she told me, ‘Come over here and give me a hug. It’s been ages!’ ” “She was happy to see me. It was emotional. She even recognized me — even though it had been 11 years.” Freddie, who is estranged from their mom, Barbara, was the first family member to see Michelle after her escape.

She weathered Whitewater. She made it past Monica ?Lewinsky. Now Hillary Clinton is hoping to beat the rap on Benghazi and make it to the White House. The Clinton political machine is in full campaign mode already, preparing for 2016 and hoping voters forget by then that she had a key role in the Obama administration’s handling of the terror attack. But that’s becoming more difficult as the GOP appears to be laying the groundwork for tying Clinton to Benghazi and making sure it stays front and center in the next campaign.Some of the testimony from State Department whistleblowers

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula deserves a place in American history. He is the first person in this country jailed for violating Islamic anti-blasphemy laws. You won’t find that anywhere in the charges against him, of course. As a practical matter, though, everyone knows that Nakoula wouldn’t be in jail today if he hadn’t produced a video crudely lampooning the prophet Muhammad. In the weeks after the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, the Obama administration claimed the terrorist assault had been the outgrowth of a demonstration against the Nakoula video.

The secretary of state was back in Washington on Thursday, begging the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to take it easy on the poor Iranians. Enough with the sanctions, he said. Secretary Kerry has joined decades of his predecessors, buying into the latest version of the 30-year old illusion that we can make a deal with the Tehran regime if only we deal properly and humbly with them. He said there was a “window of opportunity” for a couple of months. It doesn’t much matter if he really believes this legend,

One question left mainly unaddressed by yesterday’s hearing on Benghazi — and by others, as well — is the lack of preparation by the Obama administration and the US military for the potential for attack in Benghazi. After all, terrorist attacks had been increasing steadily since the fall of the Qaddafi regime in 2011. Other Western nations had already withdrawn from Benghazi due to the security risks in the region, specifically from the radical Islamist terror networks able to operate freely in eastern Libya because of the removal of Qaddafi.

U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford briefly crossed into northern Syria on Thursday to meet with Syrian opposition leaders. It is Ford’s first visit back to Syria since he left in February, 2012, when the U.S. embassy suspended operations in Damascus as the opposition effort to oust Syrian President Bashar al Assad developed into a full-blown civil war. Since then, Ford has become the Obama administration’s point man on Syria and point of contact with the Syrian opposition. A U.S. official confirmed Ford’s secret visit, which occurred along the Turkey-Syria border. He briefly crossed into Syria

As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents rarely speak off-the-cuff, and their every word is carefully chosen for exactly the message the White House wants to convey to the public. Their graduation speeches, like all presidential addresses, go through many drafts and are reviewed by high-level administration officials

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the document were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensive edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington. Many conservative groups complained during the election

A new deadly “sex superbug” has been found in two individuals in Hawaii, after surfacing in Japan in 2011. H041, a form of gonorrhea that is resistant to all antibiotics presently available, is considered as deadly as AIDS, and is much faster at killing people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants upward of $50 million from Congress to find an antibiotic that will kill the virus, which has also been found in California and Norway.

Paper Tiger definition: n, nation, etc., that has the appearance of power but is actually weak and ineffectual. That description perfectly describes our country today. Global chaos reigns today, Nations are crumbling, others are going bankrupt, radical Islamists are waging deadly battles and instead of facing these dire developments, this administration, that represents the world´s remaining super power, blusters and throws out empty threats to hostile forces. It first establishes a red line that Syria must cross before we take action and when that line was crossed, it simply redefined the red line.
