RW talk radio blames liberal media for GOP controversies

I was listening to RW talk radio off and on today that is constantly on local radio here. They blame the liberal media for all the GOP candidates problems. They claim they exaggerate the GOP's controversies but ignored Obama's during the 2008 campaign. Huh?.. dont they remember the Rev Wright pile on??

They assume Gingrich ex-wife was paid to do her interview and that Cayman is no big deal but its just the media that makes it sound bad. Its funny to listen to them desperately try to play this down and shift the blame.

What a bunch of lying losers!

They are like contortionists in the circus whenever they come against hard, cold facts.

They are at fault for everything that ever happens and is reported. Us liberals are just plain evil liars. And the media---oh yes, it is so liberal!!! I am always baffled that so many people eat up what these RW blowhards say.

AS a matter of fact, that idiot said that this new controversy will backfire on the Libs or Progressives (can't just say Democrats??) because Hollywood will now support Newt. He's more like them. Where do these people come from?? Another planet??

They're tearing themselves apart quite nicely all on their own...........

Their claims of being the "party of responsibility" are insane and delusional to the max. They can't even take responsibility for their own disorder and chaos!

Things like rules and responsiblity are only intended for everyone else, to keep them out of Republicans' way.

They want poor kids born to poor parents in poor communities to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Meanwhile, the GOPers want all the tax write-offs and bailouts that the Government can offer.

These GOP candidates have it made, they can get as nasty and dirty as they want in the race for the nomination afterwards they can just blame it one The Liberal Media.

It flies pretty well amongst the Righties, but wont fly in the general election.

Keep complaining about the liberal media - it just exposes the lies that the conservative media is built on.
