More Liberal Media Babble

Tim Graham, the Director of Media Analysis at the Media Research Center, has a very interesting column today in Media Research Center titled: Newsweek's Fineman Disdains Branding Obama a 'Socialist'.

Apparently Newsweek senior Washington correspondent Howard Fineman was dissing Newt Gingrich yet again in a new piece for the magazine, titled: How lost are the Republicans? They're looking to Newt for answers. As Fineman rambles:

At the dawn of the Obama era, Gingrich has remade himself as the anti-Obama. He is arguably the GOP's most influential strategist and cheerleader, and a provocative scold of the administration. Where Obama exudes the new Washington equanimity, Gingrich exalts in the old-school insult. He is ruthless in caricaturing anyone who gets in his way as a "pagan" or "statist" or "socialist" or "racist" -- all words Newt has hurled in recent days.

Yeah, it’s true that Newt in “one of the GOP’s most influential strategists and cheerleaders.” But, since he has a doctorate and decades of experience on the topic, we might expect that Newt could have a few good ideas to toss out there for our consideration. However, Newt as the “anti-Obama”? Not hardly! Gingrich is a conservative who is against socialism. What’s wrong with that? Aren’t most of us?

Oh, sorry . . . the topic here is Howard Fineman, isn’t it. And Fineman seems to be a cheerleader for socialism. . . .

Graham wound up the article with a paragraph that rings true and clear to real conservatives and Republicans nationwide:

You can read between the lines of columns like these and find journalists counseling Republicans to go along and get along, that the road to recovery is in being an echo of liberalism, not a conservative alternative. A few weeks ago, Fineman thought the tea parties were too "apocalyptic" to help. I always think of Fineman back in 1995 pining for Colin Powell for President: "a lot of my colleagues are trying to accept the fact that the Republican Party has the upper hand, and they want a Republican Party they can live with, and Powell is a guy they could live with."

Don’t you just love it when the far left scribblers like Fineman try to instruct real conservatives and constitutionalists that we must “settle” on just any moderate (or liberal) just because they happen to call themselves a Republican! There will be no more “go along to get along” or RINO’s supported by conservatives. Newt Gingrich has many great conservative ideas. Exactly who we support to implement some of those ideas is yet to be determined.
