The Media’s Republican Latinophobia

Marco Rubio Official SC The Medias Republican Latinophobia

At what point will the public tire of liberal journalists lamenting that the Republican Party is overwhelmingly white and thrilled about it? They’ve been drawing that cartoon so long surely they’ll eventually run out of ink. They love their 2012 narrative that every non-white group is rushing to Obama and the Left, and they want to keep it that way.

So what do you do when the GOP elects or nominates a black, or Hispanic (as they’ve done constantly)? You rip them personally, mercilessly. Ask Justice Thomas.

This is why everyone should have expected something absurd from the media when Sen. Marco Rubio was picked to give the response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. But this year perhaps they went too far. They made utter, complete fools — of themselves.

Few happenings in politics have been more overhyped than Sen. Marco Rubio taking a swig of water in mid-response, and few reporters have looked more ridiculous on that trivial subject than CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “So can a drink of water make or break a political career? U.S. Senator, possible presidential candidate. We’re going to find out, whether he likes it or not.”

On screen were the words “CAREER ENDER?” The befuddled masses at CNN tried to claim they were joking, but you never send personality-challenged Wolf Blitzer on a comedy mission.

Buckley Rule — According To Bill, Not Karl

William F. Buckley Buckley Rule — According to Bill, not Karl

The Buckley Rule has been much invoked in recent weeks, in this space and elsewhere, and on almost every occasion it has been both misquoted and misapplied. As one who was present at the formulation, I feel obliged to record the “originalist” intention.

It was the winter of 1964 and the unresolved question at NR editorial meetings, week to week, was this: Whom should the magazine support for the Republican presidential nomination? To outsiders, the question would have seemed all but settled. Issue by issue, NR gave every appearance of being all in for Barry Goldwater.

Heck, there were those who thought Bill Buckley’s merry band had invented the Goldwater candidacy. Our publisher, Bill Rusher, was a prime mover in the Draft Goldwater committee, which had propelled Goldwater to an early lead in the delegate count. Senior editor Bill Rickenbacker, a polymath, amused himself by ghosting remarks for Goldwater and then hailing them in the magazine as “brilliantly insightful.” (NR was not in those days a conflict-of-interest-free zone.) I was the Washington correspondent, and my own weekly reporting files were more than occasionally one long leak from the Goldwater campaign. Beyond the editorial staff, WFB’s brother-in-law Brent Bozell had written The Conscience of a Conservative, Goldwater’s bestselling book that had consolidated his leadership of our fledgling political movement. Team Goldwater was well represented at the editorial meetings.

And it was not outnumbered — if, that is, you counted James Burnham’s as only a single voice. Facing Rusher, Rick, and me across the conference table was Team Rockefeller. In the first chair sat Jim Burnham, a senior editor and the most potent intellectual force at the magazine. Next to him was Priscilla Buckley — Bill’s older sister, Burnham’s soulmate, and the magazine’s managing editor. And next to her was Arlene Croce, a fine writer who went on, somewhat implausibly, to become the nation’s premier dance critic at The New Yorker.

I will not do justice to Burnham’s argument. Nobody could. His was a superbly analytical mind, powered by a mesmerizing boardroom presence. (It was the common judgment of the staff that if you were ever caught standing over a lifeless body, with smoke still wafting from the gun in your hand, you should bypass the defense bar and call Jim Burnham. He would get you off, the presumption held, with an abject note of apology from the arresting officer.)

Conservative Fury At Rove Erupts

Karl Rove SC Conservative Fury at Rove Erupts

Yow.

Talk about a political disaster.

The other day I closed a piece on Karl Rove by saying that in launching what he called the “Conservative Victory Project” Mr. Rove had made a big mistake.

A really big mistake.

The group, described here in the New York Times as “intended to counter other organizations that have helped defeat establishment Republican candidates over the last two election cycles,” has had a horrific reception among conservatives

Now?

Yesterday the big mistake became bigger. Much bigger. A thunderstorm became Katrina.

Yesterday, American Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio went on Washington, D.C. radio station WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall show hosted by Brian Wilson and Larry O’Connor.

And among other things casually dismissed Brent Bozell, the president of the Media Research Center as a “hater” — and worse.

Brent Bozell For RNC Chair

Brent Bozell SC Brent Bozell For RNC Chair

A radical notion is sweeping through Republican ranks- so radical that I almost dare not type it… but here goes:

Brent Bozell for Republican National Committee chairman!

There, I typed it. Should I seek cover from inevitable liberal tempests stirred in tea pot boiling between their ears?

It’s highly unlikely I’ll ever run from what those loons say or do.

The second Obama victory has establishment Republicans frantic over how to re-brand themselves to woo socialist sympathetic voters.

US Senator Ted Cruz’s recent op-ed on “opportunity conservatism” is a welcome alternative to growing “Me Too! Republicanism 2.0.”

Free market advocacy centered upon upward mobility for average Americans parallels calling for Bozell to be RNC chairman.

The GOP is America’s conservative political party- at least theoretically, though some senators’ fiscal cliff votes make one wonder.

A Republican Party led by Brent Bozell could in no way, shape, or form be accused of being Democrat Lite. This alone terrorizes an active appeasement lobby.

Republicans of the hand-wringing variety want liberals to like them. They fret over how to be more appealing to Americans whose vision will destroy America if fulfilled from both sides of the aisle.

Brent Bozell has built a cottage industry exposing liberal schemes. This candor is sorely needed as some seek to make the GOP elephant a burden bearer for even bigger, more costly government.

His unquestioned credentials as a champion of traditional values are also sorely needed in this perilous hour.

The same man who founded the Parents Television Council in 1996 is someone well suited to counterattack the mainstreaming of endless liberal deviancy.

His 65,000 strong FCC complaints filed against Janet Jackson’s half time show wardrobe “malfunction” in 2004 was a rare event in today’s co-opted culture: an appeal for public decency.

Children watch the Super Bowl and shouldn’t be subjected to rated R-level adult content. When was the last time you heard a public figure take such a principled stand?

America has shifted left-ward and cast her lot once again with those whom conservatives feel are intent upon making her a third-world country to satisfy some 60s notion of social justice.

Brent Bozell as GOP chair would send a clear message that Republicans have at long last found their backbone and will defend free markets and the values that create them without apology.

I grew up in a failed Soviet client state, Black America, that outlived the old Soviet Union. I’d hate to see the rest of the Republic suffer a horrible fate.

Brent Bozell has my vote for RNC chair.

Don’t Let Obama’s “Fiscal Cliff” Become America’s Slippery Slope

President Obama face WH photo SC Dont Let Obamas Fiscal Cliff become Americas Slippery Slope

(Editor’s note: We here at the Western Center for Journalism are proud to be a signing participant.)

CONSERVATIVE ACTION PROJECT

MEMO FOR THE MOVEMENT

ANY “GRAND BARGAIN” MUST INCLUDE:

1. NO NET TAX INCREASE

2. NO DE-COUPLING OF TAX RATES

3. NO SEQUESTER WITHOUT REAL SPENDING REDUCTIONS

4. NO TWO-STEP PROCESS THAT KICKS THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD

5. NO INCREASE TO THE DEBT LIMIT WITHOUT BUDGET CUTS and SPENDING CAPS

PLEDGES MADE SHOULD BE PLEDGES KEPT!!!

RE: Averting the “Fiscal Cliff” through significant spending cuts, entitlement reform, and tax reform with lower rates for individuals. The Federal government clearly has a problem with spending money it doesn’t have—see $16 trillion debt.

ISSUE IN BRIEF: The term “Fiscal Cliff” is the name given to the possible effect if a number of laws–due to expire–are not extended or modified. The result would be tax increases and spending cuts. These are all coming to a head at the same time because Congress passed and the President signed the Budget Control Act of 2011 enacting automatic spending cuts to begin on January 2, 2013.

ACTION: Conservatives should insist that negotiations on any “Grand Bargain” be an open process for the citizens to observe for themselves and President Obama should submit a plan in the form of actual legislation so all will have time to read it and express their opinions to their elected representatives.

Fiscal Cliffhanger

Financial cliff SC Fiscal Cliffhanger

“Read my lips: no-new-taxes”, famously said George H W Bush, one of my favorite presidents. He raised them, and it’s argued that this action cost himself conservative votes during his unsuccessful reelection bid.

Tax hikes are a Republican no-no. At least theoretically.

Conservative icon Ronald Reagan is accused of signing the biggest tax increase in American history: $85.3 billion! This 1982 move isn’t usually associated with his great legacy.

Raising taxes usually means job producers horde assets, hide them overseas, and fire employees- a lot of them! Some businesses simply close their doors, bid workers farewell, and morph into new enterprises.

Congressional Republicans anxious to look good after the Obama reelection victory seem poised to ignore dire consequences and raise taxes to benefit themselves- not Americans with big legislative salaries and astronomical perks.

Caught in the crossfire are a (barely) working class and (almost out of) business owners crushed in a vice grip squeezing economic lifeblood out with no regard for their survival.

Big name Republicans on Capitol Hill are talking compromise with Obama, from Speaker of the House Boehner on down.

Brent Bozell, Media Research Center founder and premiere organizer of conservative fund raisers, has threatened to have donors stop funding congressmen who support this tax increase and the GOP itself.

Very ominous.

I’m interested to see how this fiscal cliffhanger turns out.

Will Republicans push conservatives and the country off the fiscal cliff to save themselves when the 2014 mid term elections roll around?

Stay tuned, broke fans- same broke time; same broke channel.

Liberal Dream Team To Host Presidential Debates

Jim Lehrer SC Liberal Dream Team to Host Presidential Debates

Conservative media watchdog Brent Bozell slammed the choice of only mainstream-media correspondents to moderate this year’s presidential debates, which could determine the outcome of the election. And he blames the Republican establishment for letting it happen.

“I scratch my head and ask myself the same question: How are they so dense?” Bozell says. “Here you’ve got Bob Schieffer, who’s been just slamming Paul Ryan all weekend long, and he’s going to moderate a debate.

“And all you’ve got to is look at the footage of his past debates,” said Bozell. “He’s terrible.”

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced the schedule for this year’s all-important presidential debates on Monday. No conservative journalists were named.

The first debate will be held in Denver on Oct. 3. It will be moderated by longtime newsman Jim Lehrer of PBS.

Bozell: CBS – Still Lazy With Obama After All These Years

Barack Obama 11 SC Bozell: CBS   Still Lazy With Obama After All These Years

Back in 2007 and 2008, it was remarkable watching Barack Obama treated to one puffball interview after another, courtesy of Steve Kroft on “60 Minutes.” Kroft compared him to Abe Lincoln and oozed about his “political poetry.” But it’s simply irresponsible, after three and a half years of President Obama wrecking the economy, that CBS — now with anchor Charlie Rose — is still in puffery mode.

There’s a certain level of contempt on the part of CBS. It could and should focus its attention on the plight of every family struggling with unemployment or a house that’s underwater financially or facing its loss of religious liberties with a federal government drunk with power. CBS chose instead to waste most of the interview asking the Obamas about summer vacations, where they’d like to travel in the world and whether there’s still mystery in their marriage.

This was not what they call in the business a “newsmaker interview,” even though there is no greater newsmaker in this country than the president. This must have reminded Obama of his teenage years at Baskin-Robbins, because Rose seemed to be making him a triple-scoop sundae, with chocolate and sprinkles on top.

Anyone who tuned in to “Sunday Morning” for the hard news would have “questions” like these:

– “It’s not a bad place to live.” (the White House) “Well, you got a basketball court; you got a tennis court. You have a fountain. You can see the Washington Monument.”

– “How are you going to spend your summer? … What is summer vacation?”

Bozell Rejects NBC’s False Apology

bozellbio Bozell Rejects NBCs False Apology

April 4, 2012 – Last week, NBC’s “Today Show” doctored George Zimmerman’s 9-1-1 call so that his motive for shooting Trayvon Martin appeared racial.  Over the weekend, NBC reported to The Washington Post that an investigation would be forthcoming after the Media Research Center exposed their fraud.  It appears NBC’s investigation has been completed.  Last night, NBC issued a two sentence explanation on it.  Media Research President Brent Bozell says that this is as dishonest as the original piece.

“We reject this fraudulent apology,” said Bozell.  “We’re not surprised. After all, NBC ‘investigated’ itself. We again call on Comcast, not NBC, to investigate this matter — thoroughly, honestly, and professionally.”

In NBC’s apology, they stated that an “error” was made and that they “deeply regret” it.  “There was no ‘error,’ as if a ‘mistake’ was made. This was a willful distortion, deliberately taking the quotes out of context in order to twist their meaning and feed the narrative of a racist assault. The level of dishonesty and journalistic abuse of the public trust is astonishing,” contends Bozell.
