From his column (I think it’s only in the Sun this time):
“the voters will not get those facts if Obama has his way and undermines the free press—a.k.a. Fox News and talk radio. His administration has declared war on Fox News, the only organization left on TV which will take Obama to task and report the truth. ”
How exactly is saying Fox News is biased and not giving them interviews a war on the free press? The Bush administration and its dutiful pundits screamed about how everyone was biased all through W’s White House tenure (and still do); they’ve also cut journalists out of the loop for not taking the appropriate position.
Yes, I know, Fox is a Republican organ and as a loyal Republican, Hart is obligated to take its side. But it’s still nonsense.
“Not until his henchmen, or -women, who do his daily dirty work while he smiles and strokes people just like they wrote it for him on his teleprompter, come after you do you realize how dangerous they are. ”
Like say, the military accidentally shooting journalists in Iraq? Or holding them without trial or charges? Funny, don’t remember a peep out of Hart about that.
Hart: “Emanuel revealed himself early by saying that Democrats “should never let a good crisis go to waste.” Translation: take any advantage you can to push your spending bills and agenda, and never mind that they are not related to the “crisis.” And if there is one thing that politicians produce well, it is a crisis. ”
As opposed to say, Bush, who said in 1999 that if he got into a war, he was going to milk it for political capital to push his domestic agenda?
“Obama’s administration even told federal law enforcement not to go after California’s marijuana sales. I guess his new motto is “Yes we cannabis.” It will be easier to pass their agenda if the country is stoned. ”
And Hart thinks this is a bad thing? We will have to disagree on that.
“In another assault on free enterprise, Obama overreached and cut salaries of some executives 90 percent (no word on cutting his own administration’s salaries based on performance). This came after passing a bill that purchased more personal jet aircraft for the government. To be sure, our elected officials should fly in style since they are now auto executives and bank presidents. ”
Let’s be clear: He cut the salaries of executives in companies taking bail-out money. They had the option to refuse the government money and be true to their free-market principles; when they didn’t, they accepted the government yoke.
Come on, if the automakers had announced they were using their bail out funds to give huge bonuses to all the union workers, Hart would have a complete meltdown; so what’s the difference? Especially given that many of these executives are the same ones who led their company into the gutter of red ink.
As usual, Mr. Hart is a world of FAIL.
