Gov. Mitt Romney visited Poland’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Press attending the visit shouted obnoxious questions at Romney, such as “What about your gaffes?” and “What about the Palestinians?” Romney, aware that he is visiting a site that is sacred to the Polish people and also aware that his had not called a press conference for that moment, ignored the questions. Reporters continue shouting, until Romney aide Rick Gorka tells the reporters to “Kiss my ass” and “Show some respect.”
These reporters regularly demonstrate their ample capabilities in the former, in the way they suggest that Obama’s routine gaffes are either not gaffes or were taken out of context. As for the latter, they don’t respect our own military and its sacrifices to keep us free, so they’re highly unlikely to respect the war dead of any other country.
The whiny reporter’s claim at the end that Romney hasn’t answered press questions during his European tour: As false as Andrea Mitchell’s WaWa attack. As fake as an NBC audio edit. As dishonest as an ABC presentation of video evidence.
I thought my personal opinion of the national media couldn’t get any lower. Turns out, I was wrong.
This election is just as much a referendum on the mendacity of the MSM as it is about Romny and Obama. Somehow the MSM has gone off the rails and unless something radical happens, they may never recover. After all the sea change in media distribution has already been radically changed by the internet and social communications. With their full embrace of the lie that is Barrack Obama,these fools may have reached the tipping point for the public which is increasingly able to see the truth while these tools are spinning their lies. Such is the value of the internet and why it just may put these people out of business. Good!!
The facade is finally lifted completely as media goes all in for radical facsist Dems. No pretense. No charade. Been noticing lately Dem lackey lies have been more brazen and in your face as of late even for them. Interesting times.
I believe we should start a media ad campaign —— against the media. Not by calling them MSM, media and the alphabets, but this way:
George Stephanopoulos
Matt Lauer
Brian Williams
Chris Wragge
David Gregory
By face and name. Splatter their face sand names all over the country and let folks who will start paying attention to the election after Labor Day that if they want information, then don’t go to ABCNBCCBS. A Joe Wilson YOU LIE billboard campaign would bring unwanted attention to these treasonous pompous liars. They would crack like rotten eggs under pressure.
Any way that the particular press representatives could be identified by name? Shaming them by name would be most helpful.

Romney’s people should start a video campaign of every public encounter with the press and take non edited video of them during any event with Romney. Then they could replay the offensive behavior and make it available to the public and proper condemnation of the offender by the public could change some of their offensive behavior. Bryan Ross at abc was treated to this on a national scale and it did have a momentary effect on abc.
I think it’s noteworthy to compare and contrast the behavior of these journalists and their treatment of Mitt Romney with what happened in June when Neil Munro (Daily Caller) shouted a valid question at President Obama near the end of an actual press event.
When Neil Munro “interrupted” the President, a large cohort of reporters were indignent over that “interruption”. Furthermore, they see no problem with being deliberately obnoxious with Mitt Romney at an obviously solemn location and event requiring far more decorum.
Rick Gorka tells the reporters to “Kiss my ass”
A bit touchy, no? Seems that Romney’s staff is ready for the pressures of the presidency.
I’ll bet you intended to put a “not” somewhere in that final sentence, right?
If so, your reasoning is massively faulty if you think Romney is unqualified for the Presidency simply because an aide makes a rude remark.
With reasoning like that you can see how he can be an Obama supporter… not the brightest bulbs on the tree…
I don’t know if Gorka’s expostulations were spontaneous or not, but for winning points he couldn’t have scripted it better. On a day when Newsqueak claims Mitt is a wimp, this serves as a palate cleanser. Can’t imagine this episode loosing any votes, but it might win a few. Especially Polish votes.
