Media Matters for America, George Soros’ attack dog organization, was outraged… Outraged, I tell you, that “right wing bloggers” were upset at the absolute idiocy of the questions being asked at the New Hampshire Debate hosted by CNN. Apparently, chicken wings, Elvis or Johnny Cash, and other questions are very important merely by virtue of being asked by some toolbag in New Hampshire.
How badly do right-wing bloggers want to live in a hermetically sealed bubble where they and their favorite political leaders never have to leave the cozy environment? So badly that in the wake of CNN’s GOP presidential debate this week, bloggers were furious with the format and announced the gotcha questions posed to the candidates were a waste of time, and worse, designed to make Republicans look bad.
Now where ever would they get an idea like that? I mean, where would these right wing bloggers get the idea that despite answering the questions asked of them, Democrats and other liberal tools would cut those answers out of context to smear them? After all, why would the Democrats do that? What would they have to gain?
Straight from the DNC.
More from Media Matters:
Morrissey and the Breitbart blogger forgot to mention that nearly one-third of the debate questions weren’t asked by sneaky liberal journalists. They were asked by New Hampshire voters, many of whom identified themselves as Republicans. And yes, it was New Hampshire voters (not CNN anchors) who asked about the economy, immigration, health care reform, job creation, Medicare, the separation of church and state, Afghanistan, and military spending. In other words, actual voter priorities.
But apparently, citizens asking presidential candidates questions about the topics of the day is no longer considered permissible. Instead, GOP candidates, argues one blogger, should sit for questions only in forums hosted by friendly sources such as Rush Limbaugh, Jonah Goldberg, or Hugh Hewitt.
Yeah, where would they get the crazy ideas that CNN would pick ridiculous questions that would make the candidates look bad so that the Democrats could cut them up and use them in a rapid response attack ad?
They’re so paranoid.
