What the Hell is going on with the MSM
I have seen on several sites today that they are claiming that President Obama is using CODE. Over at Twitter Stepounolous said he was using code for the Justice seat. He said that President Obama wants to seat and activist in the Justice seat.

We listened to this bullshit during the election and now they are staring this again. Have they run out of talking point?

Don't forget the terrorist fist bump!

4. Here's the code:
Activist: Someone who interprets the Constitution to protect individual rights, names and un-named.

Original Intent: interpretation of the Constitution to protect the status quo and/or preference for the rights of corporations and the wealthy.

6. Cheney judge-shopped to find a nice compliant activist judge
to put the kibosh in release of his Energy Commission records.

If we have learned nothing else, we should know by now that the wingnuts reveal themselves with projection and are guilty of precisely the accusations flung at their adversaries.

7. What the MSM (&GOP) are forgetting is
that is DOESNT MATTER if Obama chooses a "liberal" judge.

Souter has been one of the most liberal judges on the bench, and replacing him with another liberal doesnt change the balance one bit.

10. Consider who owns and operates them.
I'm surprised they haven't stooped lower than this, as it is. But, give them time. For the past eight years, they have been ass-kissing those who did their bidding for their right-wing corporate masters. Old habits are hard to break.

19. I can't wait for them to try and argue against public officials being 'empathetic'.

I think Obama did it intentionally hoping that some idiot would start to argue against empathy.

22. Don't worry its started
The anti-empathy crowd is gathering. I wish I could make this up.

I can't wait to see people who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, arguing against empathy.

21. Same thing that has always gone on with the MSM
The MSM is run by 5 giant corporations that makes its money off of other giant corporations.

Honestly, the people in the MSM leadership (the guys pulling the strings of the on-air talent) could give a flying fuck about whether or not a Supreme Court justice supports Abortion or Gay Marriage. What they care about is how the nominee views corporate law.

23. I think you are right. They are sending a message to the Obama admin that
if they pick someone who could potentially look unfavorably of their power grab of all media that they will join forces to rally support against them.
