Obama's Digital Brownshirts Turned Loose On Barbara West

Up

You know those organized mobs of digital brownshirts that the Obama campaign brags about? The ones that they activate to "take on" and "get in the face" of their political opponents? Digital brownshirts, meet Barbara West. Barbara West, digital brownshirts:

ACTION ITEM: Tell WFTV Orlando And Barbara West To Apologize For Biden Hatchet Job. Here's Orlando wingnut TV personality Barbara West "interviewing" Joe Biden. My favorite part is when she implies that a return to Clinton-era tax levels is akin to Marxism. Local news is an advertising-driven business. It's all about eyeballs, and station managers really, really hate it when they lose them over stupid shit like this. And WFTV deserves to. West is married to a GOP media consultant, and her bio, in which she delights in covering Clinton's impeachment and seems to brag about scuttling HillaryCare, tells you everything you need to know about her objectivity. Let them WFTV know we're not amused. Sign the petition and pass it on.

These geniuses actually think that they've cracked some outrageous scandal. A biased journalist was allowed to interview a political candidate! They couldn't be more smug or more proud of themselves: "did you forget that long time locals have long memories", "I know people who worked with Wade West", etc. Like this was some orchestrated cover-up. Like Barbara West is in the closet about being a conservative journalist, and now they're going to destroy her life by outing her.

Liberal journalists are allowed to open fantasize about shooting GOP candidates. They are allowed to be so willfully oblivious and one-sided that Joe Biden - who, let's remember, is an idiot - ends up seeming smart. But a Republican-connected journalist? Talking to a Democrat? Important Action Alert! Barbara West must be made to grovel! Over to you, DKos cretins.

Just for completion's sake: here are progressives telling "the bitch to F off and Die" and here are progressives calling her a "dumb bitch" and here is some brave Southern California hipster saying the exact same thing, except with an air of defiance because "sorry it has to be said." I was going to punchline this post with "at least they're not calling her a cunt yet" but of course they are.

Next up: this Philly station.
