McBride Is A Liberal?

In the previous post, it was pointed out how 'entertaining' the frequent commentator John can be. He outdoes himself again with this blurb:

i jeff:
Extremely good question.
The answer:Jim Doyle.Of course the liberal media has completely crawled into bed with Doyle. (not that there's anything wrong with that), but those who seek Media as a career path are generally idealistic liberals who are fed liberal pablum from Journalism 101, upto and through their, senior "internships"
Lines have been drawn before the first skirmish. The reporters and those who "dispatch them" are already liberal. You don't get the job without going through LIB schools and applying before LIB decision makers.
Long story short. Doyle is Governor, even though the media sucks his @#$$, Doyle is the one who uses them and does ANYTHING that keeps himself in power.

So, if one is to interpret these ramblings correctly, it appears that he is inferring that McBride is really a liberal, is in bed with Governor Doyle (we presume figuratively speaking), and kisses Doyle's butt. This is counterintuitive to anyone that has followed McBride's storied career, but since she moderates the comments on her site, she must have read it, not found it to be hateful or abuseful or untrue, and allow it to be posted, it must be true.

Huebschian logic

Jessica McBride, last Friday, derided Gov. Jim Doyle for warning that property taxes will go up if a state budget isn't agreed upon soon by state legislators. Sayeth McBride, in a post titled "Doylian logic:"

Is he kidding me? How can he say this stuff with a straight face?

We'll be anxiously awaiting her attack on the Republican Speaker of the Assembly, after this statement on Wednesday, just five days later:

"Property taxes will go up soon, if we don't act soon," said Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch (R-West Salem). "We know there are deadlines that are looming."

Would that be Huebschian logic?

That liberal MSM again

Here's another example of the kind of liberal bias in the mainstream print media, McBride & Co. argue, that makes people turn to right wing talk radio for balance.

See if you detect any difference between the story and the headline in the LaCrosse Tribune:

Top Doyle donor pleads guilty to making illegal donations

By SCOTT BAUER/The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Millionaire businessman Dennis Troha has always been an equal opportunity giver.

Whether it be to Republican President George Bush or Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, Troha and his family have been frequent, and generous, donors.

But a series of donations between $30,000 and $70,000 to both Bush and the Democratic Party led Troha on Friday to agree to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanors that could land him in prison for two years.

How did Doyle get in that headline? This isn't even the Journal Sentinel.

File under Glass Houses

From my blog on Uppity Wisconsin (Gee, is that racist?)

State Rep. Tamara Grigsby (D-Milwaukee) suggested she might outfit State Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) with a cone hat and a sheet for his opposition to affrirmative action. Which brings Jessica McBride -- who's always big on apologies as long as she's not the one doing it -- to say Grigsby owes an apology to Grothman. Says McBride:

This is a common tactic on the left, and it needs to be called out whenever it's spotted. When a conservative disagrees with a liberal, they often accuse them of being "racist" to shut down debate because they can't win on the merits of their argument.

Oppose illegal immigration? You're a racist. Oppose Michael McGee Jr.? You're a racist. Oppose gangsta rap? You're a racist. Oppose affirmative action? You're a racist. Want to lock up criminals? You're a racist. Criticize Eugene Kane? You're a racist.

Glenn Grothman has every right to express his opinion against affirmative action without being compared to a KKK member.

Spare us the righteous indignation, please.

How would Grigsby's comment compare, do you think, with this radio commercial that McBride's wingman, Charlie Sykes, produced and ran over and over again on his show, comparing Jim Doyle to racist segregationist governors Orville Faubus and George Wallace?

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: Fifty years ago the Supreme Court opened the school house doors. But the fight hasn’t been easy. And the fight isn’t over.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: In 1957 a governor named Orval Faubus stood in the school house door in Little Rock Arkansas to keep nine African American students from getting an education.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: In 1963 a governor named George Wallace stood in the door of the University of Alabama to keep two African American students from going to school.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: Now, in 2006, don’t let a governor named Jim Doyle stand in the schoolhouse door again. This time, blocking hundreds of African American students right here in Milwaukee.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: Students who just want a chance.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: A chance to go to the school of their choice.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT: If Governor Doyle doesn’t lift the cap on school choice, he’ll be standing in schoolhouse door, just as surely as Governor Faubus and Governor Wallace.

Governor Doyle. Let Our People Go.

Governor Doyle: Let Our Children IN.

Governor Doyle. Let Our Children Learn.

Governor Doyle: GET OUT OF THE SCHOOLHOUSE DOOR.

Sykes says: (This spot is not authorized and paid for by anybody -- at least not yet. It's free. Mikel Holt, production genius Jim Gilles, and I put this together with the help of students from Messmer High School.)

Doyle's still awaiting his apology.
