If there was any doubt before last night, it is now entirely clear that under either Obama or Clinton, virtually no fence would be built and certainly the Secure Fence Act would be at best ignored altogether. Clinton: I think when both of us voted for this, we were voting for the possibility that where it was appropriate and made sense, it would be considered," said Clinton. "But as with so much, the Bush administration has gone off the deep end, and they are unfortunately coming up with a plan that I think is counterproductive. "So I would have a review," she said. "I would listen to the people who live along the border, who understand what it is we need to be doing to protect our country."   Obama: "Well, this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree," he said. "I think that the key is to consult with local communities, whether ...

Thursday 2.21 Morning Briefing

FireSociety.com - Steve Elliott - Sun, 2024-05-05 23:21
02.21.08 Morning Briefing From the Desk of Steve Elliott Liberal Media Anoints McCain, Then Goes On Attack Today, the NYTimes formally launched its attack campaign on John McCain with an unsubstantiated near-allegation of an adulterous relationship with a lobbyist from eight years ago. This comes after nearly constant promotion of McCain as the "most electable maverick" by the liberal media elites. After anointing McCain, the liberal media are now turning on him as we make the turn toward the general election. Considering there is no new evidence here in an eight-year-old story, the NYTimes' actions today are perhaps the clearest example of that paper's bias since the paper published MoveOn.org's "General Betray Us" ad. The Times obviously had the story in its back pocket when its editors endorsed McCain a few weeks ago. Why wasn't this story published moths ago, or at least when McCain began his serious run up the polls? Clearly, the Times propped up McCain to serve its interests in having him win the Republican nomination. Media-Anointed Candidates Winning Ann Coulter makes an interestering argument that it is no accident that the media-anointed candidates are winning. Coulter says the McCain-Feingold laws have created a climate which strongly ...
