Soft soap

Mark Steyn points out that “Obamaism” is now, and always has been, a conspiracy to commit fraud by the media and the political elites. I particularly like Mark’s take on the Fast and Furious scandal:
But sometimes Obama cronyism is murderous: Eric Holder, a man unfit to be attorney general of the United States, continues to stonewall the “Fast and Furious” investigation into taxpayer-funded government gun-running to Mexican drug cartels. It is alleged that the administration chose to facilitate the sale of American weapons to crime kingpins south of the border in order to support a case for gun control north of the border. Evidence keeps piling up: The other day, a letter emerged from ATF supervisor David Voth authorizing Special Agent John Dodson to buy Draco pistols to sell directly to known criminals. Over 200 Mexicans are believed to have been killed by “Fast and Furious” weapons — that’s to say, they were killed by a U.S.-government program.

Doesn’t the New York Times care about dead Mexicans? Doesn’t Newsweek or CBS News? Isn’t Obamaism with a body count sufficiently eye-catching even for the U.S. press? Or, three years in, are the enablers of Obama still so cynical that they accept it as a necessary price to pay for “change you can believe in”? You can’t make a hopenchange omelette without breaking a couple hundred Mexican eggs?

Oops. There goes the Hispanic vote.

Steyn is spot on about the conspiracy by the Lame Stream Media. This is no different than Journolist, although I don't doubt that they use a different technique to coordinate their talking points.

And a better vetted one, for sure.

Rebecca, the problem is that people from the 3rd world are so used to their leaders and even their own family members being hyocrites that they may be totally unfazed.
