At least she didn’t ogle

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 5, 2008 05:04 PM

When female journalists aren’t staring at Barack Obama’s jeans, they’re bawling their eyes out. Via Eric Gargiulo, here’s MSNBC anchor Mika Brezinski talking about how her producer gal pal broke down and shed tears of joy upon learning that their savior had clinched the Democrat presidential nomination.

    This is such a disingenuous post. That producer wasn’t crying because she thinks Obama’s the messiah — and no one implied that on the footage you link — she was crying because of the significance of the nomination and what a monumental moment it was in our history. She, like most people I know, had likely always assumed something like this couldn’t possibly happen in her lifetime. Being moved by how far America has come isn’t the same as being on Obama-bot, although leave it to conservatives to see it that way.

    Sigh.

    Unfortunately, for all us hard realists, the American Idol generation will not wake up and see the truth until some months after Obama’s inauguration. Instead of the Promised Land, they will finally get to see what a real recession looks like (as opposed to current media hyped recession). It will be a hell of a lot worse than anything they have allegedly suffered under George Bush.

    What has happened to GE? First, they conduct immoral and outrageous deals with Iran, deals that are responsible for the deaths of numerous American soldiers, and now this! Don’t they care that a relatively minuscule communications operation like nbc, with it’s overt leftist bias, is about to bring down one of the largest conglomerates the world has ever known?!

    I pity anyone who still owns stock in GE, a once well respected company that cared for its investors, and find it sad that they would sit idly by and allow nbc/msnbc (same diff) – a lackluster liability among GE’s corporate holdings – to bring their stock and investors to the verge of financial ruin!

    But then again, the deals with Iran have already set GE on that course, so I guess they’re just playin’ through to the end.

    nyk

    You have illustrated very candidly, without even knowing, the reason Obama is the Democrat nominee. This is the nth degree of affirmative action. What really burns me is the insistence the left have for this being such a momentous occasion. A black man being nominated for President in 2008 is no surprise to me, when we have a Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Colin Powell, I haven’t the time or space to list the many African Americans who are mayors, and of course who are in Washington, why should this be so monumental? This isn’t 1968. The problem with Obama is he isn’t where he is because of his accomplishments, he there because of people like you, who are so pleased with yourselves for being so ‘progressive’, that you’d pick the first glib-tongued African American, no matter what. This is exactly what William Ayers was banking on when he kick-started Obama’s political career, being in academia, he knew how easy it is to lead the sheeple.

    Significance? It’s only significant because of identity politics. If people paid more attention to his policies (or lack thereof when it comes to detail), experience (or rather, lack thereof), etc. etc, the only significance of this nomination would be that it’s the least qualified most naiive candidate to gain a presidential election since Jimmy Carter.

    Monumental moment perhaps, but it will be remembered decades from now as a monumentally bad one if he indeed gets elected. It’s significance will be remembered not for signalling some great progress on race issues, but rather as a symptom that they still existed, an occasion where the progressiveness of nominating a black candidate mattered more to many of his star-struck voters than any substance his platform might have.

    If the roles were reversed, and Obama was the Republican candidate and McCain the Democratic candidate, this hoopla and starry-eyed behavior wouldn’t exist.

    Today’s MSM: Giving women’s suffrage a bad name.

    Ha, women don’t need MSM to give women’s suffrage a bad name; women do it all by themselves.

    Ever since Bill Clinton won in 1992 and I saw some Hollywood bimbo fawning over how “cute” he was and how she had to vote for him, I began to realize that women’s suffrage may not have been such a great thing.

    Face it. Since the 20th century, and women have entered the political arena, things have been going downhill.

    Feminism has destroyed the family, hence the downslide of Western civilization.

    Political correctness, or “feminine sensitivity writ large”, as Florence King described it, is destroying this country in its every social and political aspect. It has feminized men (i.e. lgm, rusty, et al), demonized masculine initiative, and destroyed the martial spirit necessary to fight enemies.

    Multiculturalism, which is an extension of PCness, is also destroying Western civilization by its moral equivalency and permissiveness. It dilutes American character, and equalizes the bad with the good.

    No good has come from these movements, which owes their incubation and spread from feminism and are maintained by stupid women (and girly men).

    Frankly, I’m willing to give up my vote and give it to 30+ year old landowning men who have a better grasp of reality than bimbos who moan for Obama.

    Oh, yeah. Conservatism is known for its innovative, creative and independent thinking. I guess that’s why its opposite is called “progressivism” (that’s sarcasm, btw, since you guys seem to need a tag to alert you to it). And unfortunately, as most of you loudly complain here all the time, little by little, progressivism always wins. Wish as you might, the ’50s aren’t coming back.

    And if you have such a problem with the way things are going in America — if you don’t love it, that is — then you know exactly what you can do.

    Actually his policies contain much more detail than McCain’s (at least in what has been made publicly available). And what specific details did GWB have in 2000? As for experience, I guess you’d have to go back to Lincoln to find someone with a similar “lack of experience”. As far as experience, GWB is much more on par with Carter than Obama.

    If the roles were reversed, and Obama was the Republican candidate and McCain the Democratic candidate, this hoopla and starry-eyed behavior wouldn’t exist.

    Following along with your hypothetic, if GWB were a Democrat, I think the “starry-eyed behavior” would still exist.

    If you did a “Jay walk” (as in Leno) and randomly asked women on the street if they think government should solve all our woes, what do you think would be the percentage who say a resounding “YES”? I would bet my bottom dollar that it would be well over 50%.

    Was the “progressive” idea to put a cap on gas prices recently an example of this? It was tried once in the 70’s to disastrous results. Maybe they forgot and had to re-innovate it. heh.

    Well, the conservative Republican party WAS the one that pushed for racial equality in the 60’s, against marked resistance from the “progressive” Democrats in Congress. Generalizing cuts both ways nyk.

    Conservatives also pushed for Capital Gains tax reduction. When those were in effect, our federal government saw increased tax revenues available to use on social programs. As soon as they were repealed, a “progressive” move, tax revenues decreased. Less money for social programs. Good job on THAT one progressives.

    Conservatives don’t stand against progress. We do, however, stand against a candidate like Obama, whose policies are likely to damage, perhaps severely, the future of our nation. All the generations of Americans have built one hell of a country here, and damaging its future is not progress. If handing more power over my life’s decisions to the government is what qualifies as “progressive” (and it seems to be nowadays), I am indeed happy to call myself a conservative and fight against progressives.

    Absolute disagreement. I cannot believe this is true when I have yet to meet any one of his supporters who can cite any details of his policies. . .except of course his incredibly naiive ideas about foreign policy. Obama’s policy there is indeed known, and is totally bereft of acknowledgement of history.

    And what specific details did GWB have in 2000?

    I’m sorry, what does that have to do with the here and now? Is that equivalence I hear being drawn?

    As for experience, I guess you’d have to go back to Lincoln to find someone with a similar “lack of experience”. As far as experience, GWB is much more on par with Carter than Obama.

    Yeah, the difference is, Lincoln actually had GOOD ideas, and wasn’t saddled with (seemingly) endless quantities of shady/racist supporters.

    They don’t teach logic in school anymore. Just good ole marxism and political correctness. These little darlings come out of those poison ivy league schools with less rationality than a 7 year old. Their critical thinking skills are non existent.

    All they can do is parrot the party line while they walk in lockstep with the leftist mantra a la Hitler Youth.

    Atheling, you can’t throw all of us out. I was one of the rare birds who was not a starry eyed liberal in college or anytime in my life (having had to bag the groceries of food stamp recipients who bought filet while my parents who both worked got sirloin once or twice a month opened my eyes) and paid the consequences in being failed in a poli sci class by a liberal turd prof who didn’t like that I said Reagan would be one of our greatest presidents.
    Yes, there are plenty of stupid people out there but I blame Sesame Street and the public schools for this problem. I spent some time teaching in the public schools and got in trouble many times from not towing the “party line”. However, have to say that I didn’t care and I still keep in touch with some of my former students who said I helped them to think and look at different issues and when they did get to college they challenged their teachers on some of this garbage they were throwing at them. One was a pretty liberal student and she worked on Mark Warner’s first senate run but she said she soon saw the light and by 22 was a registered republican. However, I just can’t fight the fight anymore in the public schools for a lot of reasons but mainly it’s my daughter with special needs. I can promise you my son will go to private school and perhaps may even be home schooled (I still have my teaching credentials) and West Point took about 6 or 7 home schoolers this year into their plebe class.
    Unfortunately, these liberal women are usually pampered pigs who haven’t had to do much or they’ve been on welfare their entire lives and feel it’s owed to them. I have generally found most of the women I know when they get their first out of college paycheck suddenly have a lighting strike and see the light.

    Well, the conservative Republican party WAS the one that pushed for racial equality in the 60’s, against marked resistance from the “progressive” Democrats in Congress.

    You’re conveniently forgetting how conservatives left the Democratic party (for the Republican party — which has become a safe haven) after the CRA was passed. The parties have been defined by that exodus since.

    Wow, great answer! You just proved my point. Your parents must be so proud of you! /sarc.

    I have two women senators. When I write to them and tell them how gas prices are destroying the economy, and creating a new class of poverty from the middle class, their response is to raise taxes on oil corporations.

    Now, do you think that these two women actually used any “critical thinking skills” to come to that solution? Who do you think will end up paying those higher taxes? Has it ever occurred to these two women that perhaps the oil corporations will simply raise the price of gas even further?

    Do you think their “critical thinking skills” have ever entertained the laws of simple economics? Perhaps that if supply exceeds demand, the prices go down, and if demand exceeds supply, the prices go up?

    Try not to let your head explode when it attempts to wrap around that alien concept.

    Joy,

    It does get frustrating and I don’t know why I bother. Several times I have offered to discuss Obama’s so-called new ideas both here and real world and have yet to get a coherent thought.

    I will concede that conservatives can be vague about their ideas and solutions to problems, but not nearly to the extent of progressives. However, conservatives (at least this one)don’t necessarily want a government with big, sweeping ideas. What we want is a government that does the basics and does them well. Administer justice, defend the borders, pave the roads, run good schools, provide a minimum basic safety net etc… So any big conservative ideas should mostly involve reducing the role of government but increasing its efficency.

    Since by definition progressive ideas involve more government they should be better at being able to explain and defend them. I still have “hope” for this “change”.

    I have. I see lots of generalities. Powerlineblog.com, Belmont Club, and a variety of other conservative/center blogs regularly post details of McCain’s policies, and the news reports them fairly faithfully. I’ve seen the media report that Obama has a plan for this or that, but generalities abound with few details. In fact, the only details I’ve managed to dig up on Obama’s policies have been from conservative ‘blogs as well. Most liberal ‘blogs I visit seem satisified to chant the mantra of change, and disparage those who oppose Obama as racist, rather than consider the impact of his planned programs.

    I don’t imagine you’d see alot on McCain’s policies here though. . this site is fairly biased against the man.

    Comparing the push for Obama to the rise of Hitler strikes me as inappropriate, since Nazis marched in brown shirts and threatened the opposition.

    A more pertinent analogy, since as a New Yorker I witnessed it up close, was the elevation of Eliot Spitzer to the governor’s mansion. As with Obama, the media jumped on the bandwagon to beat the drums without the slightest question being raised about Spitzer’s character or how he conducted his office as attorney general. And so the media later became shocked, shocked that he would use the state police to smear his chief Republican rival and have them look the other way when he patronized expensive escorts.

    I have a feeling that we haven’t seen the last skeleton to emerge from Obama’s closet.

    What kind of experience? Carter went into real estate when he was about 8 years old, and still owned the buildings when he went to the Naval Academy, then served in the Navy. When his father died he resigned and took over the family business which he ran successfully. Then to the Georgia Senate, Governor of Georgia and President.

    So he was successful in business, the military and state poltics before he was President. And Obama is more successful how?

    If the roles were reversed, and Obama was the Republican candidate and McCain the Democratic candidate, this hoopla and starry-eyed behavior wouldn’t exist.

    Following along with your hypothetic, if GWB were a Democrat, I think the “starry-eyed behavior” would still exist.

    I, a Gingrichian Conservative, agree with this post. Black folk have gone through much in America. The smart ones, as a producer at MSNBC is likely to be, feel it weighing on them. I understand the welling up.

    And if you think Justice Thomas and Secretary Rice and Thomas Sowell haven’t felt the emotion of it, you are kidding yourself. This is landmark. I’d have preferred someone smarter, but it still is landmark.
