“I’m frankly, fed up, with the one-sided bias”

“I’m frankly, fed up, with the one-sided bias.” Newt Gingrich calls out the media lapdogs on “Meet the Press.” Newt, don’t forget their heads-up-their-butts smug stupidity….

  • I was outside last night and whistled for my dog. My communist neighbor (the one that alway has commie signs in his yard and has 14 commie bumper stickers on his VW Beetle) yelled "raccissssstttt" at me. So I stopped whistling and yelled, "Here Peaches!" Neighbor yelled , "Raccisssttt." Peaches is a code word for black servants.
    NOt really, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    • I had a black lab puppy once, he got away one day and I was walking through the neighborhood calling "Here Blackie".
      In retrospect, I should have named him something else, considering where I lived at the time.

  • A new entry on this tired subject:
    I don't recall ever being called a racist before 2008. I really honestly don't. After that I don't remember that term pointed at me nor had I heard it really so often as I have in the last couple of years. It is a very dangerous word! That link below points to an article I just read on one of my favorite blogs, "Maggie's Notebook". She writes that Obama actually did have a job for a little while representing 186 clients in a lawsuit he filed in 1995 against Citibank for mortgage discrimination. The beginnings of the end of our great country using that devastating weapon the "Racist Bomb". Only 19 of the 186 people he represented still have a decent credit rating, and still own their homes.

    "Some of his clients are speaking out and their message: "there should be a regulation against giving loans to people who can’t afford them!" Obama pushed the Community Reinvestment Act, right along with Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters. Democrats forced banks to give mortgages to Blacks who had no credit rating, no down payment, sometimes no job. The Bush administration tried 17 times to force Democrats to moderate the risks of these through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."
    This next bit was taken right from the original papers: “If you see some people don’t make enough money to afford the mortgage, why would you give them a loan?” asked Obama client John Buchanan. “There should be some type of regulation against giving people loans they can’t afford.”…
    THE F**KING BALLS OF THESE PEOPLE!!
    My point being the bandying of that foul term has bullied powerful people into submission and the abuse that ensued was enough to be instrumental in bringing one of the most powerful nations to its knees.

    FUCK WHITE GUILT, I DIDN'T DO IT AND YOU DON'T GET TO OWN ME!
    I hope some will take five and read the article and follow the links there.

    • KW Willy, you are exactly correct!
      Many years ago, after a particularly hard financial time, I had to file for bankruptcy. 3 years later, when I was better off financially, I had a chance to buy a small starter home, but no bank would give me the mortgage because of the BK. I had to get my parents to cosign the loan! I had the money to pay the mortgage, I had the downpayment, I had a good job, but I had to have someone else to back me up, even though I was eligible for a mortgage through the VA!
      I have to wonder if I would have had such a hard time getting a mortgage if I were an unemployed black man.

  • "I'm a journalist ..."

    Pants on fire Tom! Friedman is nothing but a Democrat press agent, a shameless advocate for big government and centralized planning who admires Chinese "effciency". Had he been around in 1933, he would have sung the praises of Stalin and Mussolini. What a fraud!

    • Most American leftists did praise Mussolini and Stalin. No question Friedman would have and his grandparents probably did.

  • Friedman at first: "I'm a Planned Parenthod Democrat."

    Friedman at the end: "...I'm here as a journalist, I'll let the Democtratic Party decide." (about tax payer funded partial birth abortion)

    Retarded weasel of the highest order. No guts when forced to confront what he actually advocates.

    • I couldn't agree more, Sidekick. Watching the clip I couldn't help but notice how Friedman and even Gregory wanted to change the subject when faced with the miltantly Pro-Life/Anti-Media Bias Gingrich. Friedman seemed ashamed to have to be defending even partial-birth abortion, his head going down and his voice trailing off.

      • What is disseminated about abortion, particularly late term abortion is murder in anyone's book, even their's. I mean the child at that point is viable outside the womb, so their reference to the baby as a [arasite doesn'y hold water at that point. But they don't want people to know that a 5th month abortion is a fully formed human being, with fingernails,and eye lashes, let alone major organs. It LOOKS like a baby. Not a blob of cells. They really don't want that to get out.

        • It's the language they use that is offensive. A woman who wants her child is carrying a baby. She doesn't attend a fetus shower. People don't ask her what sex her fetus is. Of course when a woman aborts the word "baby" is never ever used.

  • Lets hope Newt continues to visit the Lame Stream media talking heads on a regular basis. Nothing like watching a liberal's head implode, makes my day.

    • Yes, Newt's a racist. Chris Matthews' secret racist decoder ring has proven it. Saying he's fed up with media bias is proof that Newt is racist since charges of media bias are racist dog whistles. This blog hates the media so it's racist. You and I post to IHTM so we are racist too.

      • Does this mean I have to tell my black, hispanic, and Asian friends, my Filipina wife and family, I am a racist? LOL. :-D)))

        • Like MY mix-breed family, they already know. All the lib info out there, they are all way too well informed, just ask them. That last statement even sounds racist, I don't know....the only person in my family convinced I am not a racist is my black son in law. He just calls me a republican with a little venom in his voice.

          • You got it KW, per the media and the Democrats "racist" and "Republican" are interchangeable words. The fact you're posting at IHTM proves your racism, can you prove you not one?
            Remember once the accusation of racism (or sexism or homophobia or Islamophobia) is made the burden of proving we're not bigot is on us.

          • Not that many years ago (20-30) I would tell of my grandfather, a democrat congressman from Colorado who was, in his off hours, a Grand Dragon, or something like that, in the KKK. Back then nobody could believe that that was in my lineage, as I was most definitely not a prejudiced person by any man's definition. Now I hide that story since the simply fact that I vote a conservative ticket makes me a racist. When I tell these well informed folks of the origins of the Klan they absolutely will not believe me then when I show them printed history as proof they leave the room angry and say I'm a liar. I quit the argument completely, this is what I find so scary on the whole subject, the fact that the facts are called errant. Whatta ya gonna do???

          • The ignorance (stupidity?)of the left is leendaty. They all went to school for a zillion years (and will be happy to boast of it for you) but they apparently learned NOTHING! They don't know history, politics, blatant racism in their own ranks. And as you found, if your try to give them documentable facts, they get confused, then angry, then hostile.

          • As we find out today, the democrats are espousing their 200 years of support of the civil rights of all Americans, while they take down any reference of Christianity at the convention and erect shrines to allahaha and islam. Literally rewriting history at a presidential convention, that takes a certain truckload of "cajones", I'll tell ya!

            A man whose blog is going to come down in frustration if obama wins is testament to what I am saying, we are in for a mountain of diligent work if we sincerely want to take back this country because we will be needing to reeducate all these children who truly believe all this crap they have been told and they are going to need to learn to trust a teacher they have been brainwashed into believing is evil incarnate. Wow! Piece 'a cake, 'eh? After all the education that Rose speaks of, or all the lack of education, they were all reassured of their superior knowledge through a program of diligent self-esteem reinforcement or more accurately a nasty excess of narcissism. Now more than a few generations of very ignorant children and adults who believe themselves "experts at everything", and my generation are the stupid ones. This will be a test to say the least and I pray we are the strong ones.

            BTW: could as many as possible please visit and comment on this blog, we need to save the good ones, let him know Ken sent you....he is at

  • I've not always been a fan of Newt as a politician. But I'm always a fan of him leveling that intellect against the unsuspecting and the stupid. He has a way of sweeping through and laying to waste their hypocrisy that is nothing short of amazing.

    As for Thomas L. Friedman . . . no wonder he's in love with the Chinese system. Forced abortions funded by citizen confiscated property and administered by a selection process that begins and ends in gender . . . the Chi Com war against women and life is this guys wet dream.

    • OK, how about Newt as WH Director of Communications under President Romney? Unless a cabinet post would be better.

    • I actually voted for him in the Republican primary. I, now, realize that the media, politicians, and any other opposition would have torn him apart in a more personal way rather if the issues mattered anymore or not. I believe he would have made a great president. As always, we're playing the political game and nominating the one who's more likely to be able to defeat the opposition rather if we really like him or not. I'm going to maintain a positive outlook now; and hope Romney will surprise everyone and prove those of us who saw him as a flip-flopping moderate wrong. By the way, Paul Ryan was an awesome choice! :-D

    • Newt does wield his verbal hammer with the skill of a most experienced tradesman. When he gets a little heated, being on the receiving end of it must hurt. Of course, when you're a die hard liberal buffoon like friedman standing there repeating the same programmed response, with some smattering of um and bu-bu it there is no feeling it because he has no soul. Communists must all be exposed and the realities of communism need to be brought back into view. There are far too many people now who think its probably a fine system, as good as any democratic system available because the evils of it are no longer taught to our people. They're being misled to believe freedom and liberty exist in that realm somehow. Fools!

      • What Kip and Def said!! Thanks. As far as the subject, "One sided bias", maybe if a one or two or a hundred million more people felt like Newt this BS might change for a change. I for one would love to see it, and would love to see Newt do that a whole lot more, I love it when he takes their knees out from under them.
