Obama’s First 100 Days – Conservative Media’s Greatest Hits

Media Matters says these are the worst “unhinged and outrageous media moments” of Obama’s first 100 days. Well, their mileage evidently varies. I think this sort of thing is a good deal worse. Of course, our “worst moments” are generated by pundits, commentators, and entertainers. Theirs are generated by allegedly unbiased reporters.
I’m seeing a lot of this for the first time – I don’t even have cable TV, though if I’m in the car I’ll sometimes catch Beck or Rush on the radio. But none of it bothered me. So… should conservatives be hanging our heads in shame over any of these? Anybody you’d like to throw under the bus? Or does it make you want to tune in?

Lagniappe: In a new, bipartisan move, the DNC has started producing Republican campaign spots guaranteed to fire up the base. Thoughtful of them. In any event, it makes me want to vote GOP! And the Party of No? I’m way okay with that. For conservatives, it’s not exactly a mark of shame to have voted against this stuff. More, please! In fact, I just might throw a few bucks John Boehner’s way because of this ad. It would be nice if the GOP did a better job articulating WHY it was important to vote against this stuff. But just saying no was a good start.

In my view the GOP is absolutely clueless regarding what Mom and Pop Middle America is wanting to hear. All they seem to be able to talk about is spending. Meanwhile we’re approaching 9% unemployment. Our Constitution is diminishing and the influence of world governing bodies is increasing to take its place. And who seems to be emerging as a leader of the GOP? Meghan McCain!! This all spells disaster for the GOP again on 11/2/10, I fear. Darvin Dowdy

Did Dick Morris say that killing ATF agents might be justified?!
Other than that, nope, nothing objectionable, and good point about pundits vs. reporters.

I think Dick Morris just meant that the UN is ascending to a throne, or that the argument is more plausible.
I can see how LibDems see these as “unhinged,” as they really don’t spend a lot of time worrying about silly fiscal/economic issues.
Conservatives are becoming a bit “unhinged.” Not totally, but a bit unhinged… it’s an appropriate response to insane fiscal policy.
Like AllahPundit said about Iran: It’s time to offically freak out about Iran.
Well: It’s time to officially freak out about a multi-trillion dollar spending binge.
