Let the Sliming Begin

[FishForLunch]

The Democrats have started to slime with the help of their media whores. "The Myth of Liberal Media!!!"

1. Stephanopoulos Delivers Dem Attack Strategy on Schwarzenegger
Good morning, America, here’s the Democratic spin of the day. On today’s Good Morning America, instead of conveying the reaction of both Republicans and Democrats to Arnold Schwarzenegger entering the gubernatorial contest, George Stephanopoulos devoted nearly all of his analysis to how Democrats will undermine Schwarzenegger. Stephanopoulos reported that those he talked to “point to a couple of hopeful signs in this election.” First, that since Schwarzenegger announced “on the same day that Gary Coleman of Diff'rent Strokes got into the race as well, just points up the whole freak show nature” of the race. And second, Democrats “did some focus groups over the last few weeks and they found out when they presented the idea of Arnold to voters, they laughed.” And he cited a supposed Schwarzenegger gaffe that Democrats had attacked.

2. Couric on Schwarzenegger: “He's the Son of a Nazi Party Member”
Journalists normally fret about negative campaigning and condemn attacks that dig out personal baggage in a candidate’s background. Just as long as the candidate doesn’t threaten a Democrat, apparently, since on this morning’s Today Katie Couric didn’t hesitate to beat Democratic operatives to the punch and remind viewers that Schwarzenegger’s father was a Nazi. She began a question: "Let me ask you about his, his baggage, if you will. He's admitted smoking marijuana, using steroids during his body-building career. He's the son of a Nazi Party member...”

3. NY Times Contrasts Nuclear Proliferation with Arnold’s Bikini Wax
From the MRC’s TimesWatch.org: The Times story on California’s recall vote noted Senator Dianne Feinstein is out, while action-hero Arnold and “populist” Arianna are in, and offered its readers snob appeal: “Instead of talking about issues like nuclear proliferation and appropriations, as Ms. Feinstein did, Mr. Schwarzenegger made light of his decision to run...” And is Arianna Huffington really a populist independent or just another left-winger?

And I was hoping it was going to be a thread about the old Nickolodeon TV show "You Can't Do That on Television". That show RULED.

I was thinking the same thing.

Rats, just another political debate.

Gary Coleman was just on CNN and had some pretty intelligent things to say. He talked about healthcare and a flat tax proposal and about luring large companies back to california to boost the economy.

That show was awesome. I liked the part where they would come out of those lockers and tell jokes, and that one guy that played the bus driver. Yep, those were the days.

Wow! I thought I was the only person who remember that show!
I'm always trying to explain it to people...and get nothing but blank stares
back. I loved that show.
Is it true Alanis Morrisette was on it? I heard it somewhere but figured it
could easily be one of those "Marylin Manson was Paul on the Wonder Years" ULs.
I would like to see buckets of slime poured on her head, repeatedly.

Proof
