Who Would Jesus Vote For? » Mainstream Media http://wwjv4.com A liberal political/religious blog calling attention to the rampant hypocrisy of the far right Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:39:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 McHenry Calls Soldier a Two-Bit Security Guard http://wwjv4.com/republicans/mchenry-calls-soldier-a-two-bit-security-guard-231 http://wwjv4.com/republicans/mchenry-calls-soldier-a-two-bit-security-guard-231#comments Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:30:56 +0000 Bill Ludwig http://wwjv4.com/?p=231 Seriously, what the hell do Republicans have to do before our mainstream media starts doing its job? Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) belittled a U.S. Soldier serving in Iraq for following orders and not allowing him access to a restricted area that McHenry was not authorized entry to. “I was not very happy with this two-bit security guard. So you know, I said, “I want to see your supervisor.” Watch it here.

McHenry recently got over feeling sick about a McCain presidency and is now a supporter. Think there will be any outrage from the conservatives for John McCain to disavow his Troop Hating comments? Me neither.

Can you imagine the outrage if a Democrat had said the same thing? The right wingers would be all over it. Instead since its a Republican were just now hearing about it from the liberal blogs while the mainstream media has remained silent. I’ll be updating this story in case the mainstream media covers this but there are a few networks I’m particularly interested in.

News Network Coverage:

  • CBS – No Coverage So Far
  • CNN – No Coverage So Far
  • Fox – No Coverage So Far
  • MSNBC – No Coverage So Far

Note that this is my first time trying out Google Alerts so I may miss something. If I do please post it in the comments. I may also be way off base and the mainstream media may jump on it now that the story has broken. I would be surprised but you never know.

UPDATE: Apparently McHenry was referring to a foreign contractor and not a US Soldier.  I don’t think this makes any difference though.  It’s not like the guy wasn’t following orders and risking his life just like our soldiers.

While there this morning; however, I ran across this gem by Jon Lajoie. It’s a great commercial for the MSM. Have a great day!
