Questions that are never asked
January 27, 2012admin No Comments »
The first sentence in Kathleen Parker’s column today (Jan. 22, “The perils of projection”) tells us more about her than the subject, Newt Gingrich.
She expounds irately about Gingrich’s retort to a question in last Thursday’s debate from John King. she describes Gingrich’s response to that question as an attack on King. really? What selective distortion! What the speaker did, of course, was to respond and defend himself against a vicious ultra-liberal inside-the-Beltway propagandist, pretending to be a reporter.
That response (as we all saw) prompted an extraordinary reaction from the audience – a graphic example of the feeling of millions of people in the country, yearning to see someone finally deal with the leftist press effectively. It’s about time. Millions of us still wonder why Mr. King’s so-called reporting techniques were not in play with other recent presidents and presidential candidates by the media elitists.
For example, some questions that were never asked – and some still could and should be asked:
JFK: “Mr. President, the press corps is aware that Marilyn Monroe has often been seen sneaking into the White House late at night during times that Mrs. Kennedy has been out of town. would you care to comment about this?”
Sen. Barack Obama: “Senator, it’s a well-documented fact, even in your own writings, that you are not just an admirer, but actually a disciple of Saul Alinsky, an extreme left-wing radical statist. Comments?”
President Barack Obama: “Mr. President, if you are re-elected to a second term will you continue to bow down to royalty from the Middle East when you meet with them, and prostrate yourself in from of other world leaders?
“Also, what is the big secret about your education records and writings? You’ve kept them hidden from the public. Why? What are you hiding from the American people? What happened to transparency?”
Michelle Obama: “Mrs. Obama, many of our readers are interested in hearing your comments about the infamous `patient dumping’ that occurred when you and Valerie Jarrett were in business together in Chicago. Comments?”
Ad infinitum.
