Desperate Democrats call for "desperate Republican" press coverage

"Gee, liberals — have you stopped to wonder if maybe it's not us, but you? Perhaps if you stopped running candidates who show contempt for America every election, we might stop noticing your candidates' contempt for America every election! Republicans questioning Democrats' patriotism is not a manifestation of 'desperation' — it is a manifestation of basic observational skills."

"While Republicans have to depend on bloggers to invalidate liberal lies about them (i.e. the 2004 CBS 'Rathergate' scandal), Democrats have major media outlets like CNN at their disposal ready at the whim to pounce on any charges made against them within a heartbeat. The Smear-Free Democrats need not bother getting their own hands dirty and can rely on the mainstream media to malign their opponents — i.e. Keith Olbermann at MSNBC carping about John McCain's 'continuing association with radicals from the 1970s' on the basis of a "public conversation" McCain had with G. Gordon Liddy in November 2007 — thereby resting his case that McCain 'hates the constitution.'

"Meanwhile, Republican candidates like Sarah Palin don't have a mass-media propaganda machine to depend on, thus they are left to their own devices to illuminate questionable associations their opponents have had with, well, questionable individuals. And the moment they do — they are instantaneously gang-raped for it and subsequently laughed off as 'desperate.' If only the Nuremberg defendants had the American media behind them to call their prosecutors "desperate" they may have just walked."
