Pissing and moaning ... again.

Hot Air has a post up about how Sen Tom Coburn is going to block life-saving medical help for NYC firefighters. Of course, the post is written by flaming RINO squish Allahpundit (Town Hall must be operating an affirmative action scheme by keeping that fucktard around), so you can imagine that he's sympathetic to Shep Smith's pathetic whining.

Also notice that Sen Coburn is not interviewed at all for the piece, instead relying on informed speculation as to his motives.

Also notice that Rep Kirsten Gillibrand and Sen Chuckie Schumer claim to now have the votes to pass this pork-laden bill. The fact that the Democrats have had majorities in the House and Senate for the last two years, and up until Ted Kennedy died those majorities were unbeatable, seems to have slipped by the steel trap mind of the fair and balanced Mr Smith.

Also notice that the Dems have waited until the very end of the lame duck session of congress to make these protestations that "ZOMG! We have to pass this for the heros!" while pising away their unassailable majorities ..... sounds like the hero's weren't that big of a priority to the Dems until they could make some political hay over the issue.

So here's what I suggest.

Mitch McConnell should send a letter directly to Fox News telling them in no uncertain terms that unless Sen Coburn gets the opportunity to respond to Shep Smith's irresponsible inferences, no Republicans will be appearing on any Fox network shows. No questions from Fox reporters should be taken a news conferences (and they should be pointedly excluded).

The same ROE should go for all networks. It's pretty obvious that the MSM is antagonistic to conservatives, it's time to start treating them that way ... there are too many other ways for Republicans to get their messages to the public.

And in that thought process, it's high time that Republicans and conservatives started challenging the media on their assumptions. When the MSM mis-characterizes your position, don't be nice ... be nasty and call them out. Make them out to be the liars that they are.

Give no quarter ... the Dems don't.

But then, Republicans aren't known as the Stupid Party for nothing.
