'The Worst Visual Metaphor': CNN Panel Blasts Hillary's Reporter Rope Line
[DAILYCALLER] CNN's "State of the Union" panel ripped former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John Jay ...
and her campaign Sunday one day after staffers corralled the press behind a rope as Clinton walked in a Fourth of July parade in New Hampshire.

The panel consisting of CNN contributors S.E. Cupp and Van Jones, The Wall Street Journal's Carol Lee, and CNN political news hound Jeff Zeleny roasted Clinton's rope line, with Jones calling it "the worst visual metaphor" for her campaign.

"This is humiliating for news hounds who have to abide by Hillary Clinton's rules of journalism," Cupp told host Jake Tapper. "And it's not just this. I mean, the entire campaign, she has kept them at a distance, she barely answers questions, there's all these rules. And actually I don't blame her, I blame news hounds who put up with this. The second they decide we're not doing this anymore, we're not going to cover your glossy events the way you want it, then she'll be forced to change this behavior."

Zeleny pushed back against Cupp laying the blame at the feet of news hounds, saying the campaign is to fault for "trying to wrap her in bubble wrap" in her campaign.

"To a point, you're right. But she also has Secret Service protection, so it's very common for news hounds to follow the rules," Zeleny said. "I think this, though -- the criticism is directed at the Clinton campaign on this for trying to wrap her in bubble wrap this entire campaign and not let her actually associate with real people. That's where the criticism on this, I think, goes. Not to the news hounds."

#2  None of them actually blamed Hillery. They blamed the victims (reporters), her staff, the Secret Service.

#5  Only when Trump tries to lasso in the media will they then magically and bravely turn back into news hounds.

Worthless political sluts.

#9  Hey! At least with sluts you might get some enjoyment out of it. These 'reporters' don't even expect a reach-around.

WaPo mocks Bobby Jindal's ethnic authenticity
[LEGALINSURRECTION] Money quote used to promote post: “There’s not much Indian left in Bobby Jindal.”

#1  Jindal’s status as a conservative of color helped propel his meteoric rise in the Republican Party

Funny. I thought it was because he was a child prodigy and an insanely intelligent and capable politician. But silly me.

#2  All leftists are disgusting racists.
Case in point: Barak Hussein Obama.
It matters not his lack of merit, horrible judgement, but the bigotry of low expectation for him and the fact that they took the scum of the earth and elevated it into the highest positions in the land. No one holds HIM accountable for anything .... because he is black?

Nasty fuckers.

#3  Given the demographics and the politics in Lousyana, Jindal would have never been elected dog catcher if he had not been very smart and a lights out politician.

The WaPo is just doing Hillary's bidding trying to character assassinate every potential threat to her becoming queen.

#4  Bobby Jindal Loves America and Loves his state.
He made some bad moves, but to me he made more right ones.
He recovered them from the Hurricane, He was johnny on the spot with the oil rig blow out.

Jindal earned his voice, he is worth more than any democrat in America to me right now.
REALLY.

#5  And not much Black in Obama who is 50% Caucasiain, 12,5% Blacks and 37,5%... Arab.

Though my lyin' shineboys knock you,

Hildebeest Campaign Ropes Reporters Behind Line At Parade
[Huffpoo] AMHERST, N.H. (AP) -- Clinton marched in a Fourth of July parade in Gorham, New Hampshire, trailed by a band of supporters waving signs and separated by a long rope from the pack of journalists that followed.

"I'll tell you what -- we need to get a Democratic president," Clinton told one woman along the parade route, who asked about the health care overhaul. "I'm going to not only defend it, I'm going to make it even better."

One man who carried a sign that read, "Benghazi" also followed the candidate. Alluding to her time representing New York in the Senate, he screamed repeatedly, "Carpetbagger!"
Another man on the route yelled, "What about Benghazi? What about the emails?"

Clinton smiled broadly, shaking hands and stopping for quick photos. At one point, she posed for a photo with two New Hampshire beauty pageant contestants, who playfully flexed their biceps.

#1  And the roped in 'journalists' just went along with it. When a few were finally able to ask some pre-screened questions one asked what was her favorite flavor of Ice Cream.

Only afterwards, when they found that they were being held up for well-deserved ridicule did they blame - the reporters, the aids; everyone but Hillary.

Pressitutes (with apologies to any prositutes out there for the bad comparison).

#2  The press behaves like battered wives in front of the Donks. The Conservatives not so much.

#3  They didn't mind the roping, it was the branding that made them bridle.

#4  already gelded
Posted by: Frank G || 07/06/2015 15:23 Comments || Top||

#5  Oh I think they might be the kind that enjoys the branding.... almost as much as they enjoyed the gelding.
