In another example of journalistic liberal bias, CNN’s Jack Cafferty offered up some condescending comments about supporters of Republican candidates, wondering why the supporters seem to be “allergic to brains.”
This is just a continuation of the network media’s war on conservatism and economic freedom.
Here is a partial transcript of the video with the video below:
In an election where the Republican candidate actually stands a chance against a weakened incumbent president, so far it is a couple of intellectual lightweights who are stealing the show.
Since Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll and Rick Perry entered the race, these two have been sucking up most of the media’s attention, mostly for saying stupid stuff. Like Bachmann‘s claim that as president she’ll bring gasoline down to $2 a gallon. Or Perry’s highly inappropriate shot at Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke saying that his actions could be “treasonous.”
Meanwhile, some Republicans, including Karl Rove, are suggesting that the former half-term dropout governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is going to join the race as well. Swell. Palin’s people are pushing back against the speculation, saying that anyone who claims to know about her plans is misleading the American people. But Palin has certainly been acting like a candidate, now hasn’t she? Showing up in Iowa during the straw poll voting, and…Iowa-themed political video released ahead of her Labor Day speech which is also scheduled to take place in Iowa. If Palin runs, we’ll have yet another MENSA candidate to join Bachmann and Perry. There is no doubt this three-some would consume the lion’s share of the media coverage.
At the other end of the intellectual spectrum, there’s Ron Paul, who placed a very close second in the Iowa straw poll. He continues to talk sense – whether or not enough people are listening. There’s Newt Gingrich – love him or hate him, he’s a very bright man. There’s also Jon Huntsman, who says candidates like Bachmann and Perry are too far to the right and have “zero substance.” Testimony to his intellect right there.
He may be right, but I venture to say none of the three has a prayer against Curly, Moe and Larry. And that’s a sad commentary on the state of our politics, isn’t it?
Here’s the question: When it comes to presidential politics, why does America seem to be allergic to brains?

He's right after all we did elect obama.
THE BEST THING TO BE SAID ABOUT CAFFERTY HE IS A COMPLETE PACKAGE HE IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE, SCUMBAG THAT WILL SAY ANYTHING TO KEEP HIS JOB BECAUSE CNN COMES OUT OF THE SAME S— HOLE THAT HE DOES. HE HAS ZERO CREDIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE ZEROS HE WORKS FOR. HE HAS TO SAY STUPID THINGS TO KEEP WHAT FEW SCUMBAGS HE HAS LEFT THAT IS STUPID ENOUGH TO TURN ON CNN ITS SAD WHEN YOU HAVE TO PLAY TO SCUMBAGS TO KEEP LISTENERS
WHAT,S THE PROBLEM I HAVEN'T SAID NOTHING THAT ISN'T TRUE
I DIDN'T THINK WESTERN JOURNALISM WAS IN BED WITH CAFFERTY AND CNN
Personally, I agree with Cafferty for a change; and he is correct on Ron Paul, who is the only Republican candidate to can win from both major parties. The top candidates listed are all supporters of the Patriot Act, an act which destroyed our Constitution. Dr. Paul is the only consistent candidate, and he has preached our Constitution for decades. Dr. Paul is my only choice this year, or the Republicans can just give another term to Obama. It is their choice, and perhaps precisely what they intend to do.
The One Problem With Ron Paul Is His Age And The Maybe Starting Of Alzheimers Disease Because He Seems To Forget Why The USA Is Still Number One (Even With The Last Three Years Of Turning The Other Cheek) Yikeess, God Bless America And The Real Heros The Tea Party Patriots With Sarah Palin.
How can these supposedly newsmen even take a check from their networks.Talk about brain dead, they sure are. They can't even give responsible news. They are so brain dead that they can't even think for themselves.They keep pranting the same old junk that it would be a miracle if they come up with the truth.
Your losing if you didn't know it. we are taking this country back , and you and your cronies will be out of a job.
Jack Cafferty definitely has no brains for him to questions whether Republicans support Sara Palin. Supporting her is far better than supporting Socialist Demorats which is what Mr. Cafferty does. It is very apparent he is a bird-brain like his President and other liberals.
Very crude, and improper usage of the English language.
Liberals truly are stupid beyond belief. Caferty proves that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
At least they have brains. Cafferty has none.
Gee, I must be reply dumb. I'm just a poor Mensa member and I still have the highest score on my military entrance exam in my Naval reserve center. I wonder how I could be so dumb to be a Republican?
No I think he was talking about those that voted in 2008
Your missing something here Jack. It's the Tea Party message that Ron Paul, Sarah and Michelle represent. They are not the same as Perry, they are 100% for the Constitution.
You seem to have a problem with that Jack. That's the sad state of our journalism today.
Balance the budget Jack, bring the troops home and end these unconstitutional wars Jack and audit the Fed. You would think you would write about their positions on issues instead of side-stepping them Jack. Get a real job Jack.
He doesn't know Jack.
He's not allergic to brains, he is just abstaining from using his own.
Jack's a jerk.
Those on NMBC, CNN and MSMBC should talk about brains. It takes none to get to work on then stations.
One Thing Is For Sure Our "Smart Fart" Imposter Muslin Pres Obama Must Have Thought They Said "Pains" When They Were Handing Out Brains Because He Did Not Get Any, Yikeess, Plus The Village-Idiot Is Still Looking For The "Seven States" He Seems To Have Lost In The Last Election. So When The Soros-Lover CNN Cafferty Loser Is Looking For Liberal Politicans "Allergic To Brains" Start With Buckwheat. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots With Postive-ly Palin POTUS.
