Aww, so the poor widdle Democrats got asked some tough questions at the Philly debate last night — only because there were no Republicans present to bash on — and the Nutroots are upset?

Below is the history of how we saw the Okie-Dokie coming a mile away and how a network Subverted Democracy. President Barack should pull their Broadcasting License.

Welcomd to our world, dumbass. Just another Lefty calling for censorship because somebody said something he’d rather have had left unsaid. Liberal fascism, anyone?

1. In a debate on the eve of a very important and much hyped primary, for a Former Clinton Cabinet Official to openly take questions from the opposing party, primarily directed at a single candidate, is simply unacceptable. This is how the Media works it self up. If they ask the Weather Underground question, expect to see it the story-du-jour the rest of the week, regardless of Obama’s Answer. We know it’s a non-story, but the media loves non-stories and loves to dig it out there.

2. I’m not asking for people to complain to ABC, I’m telling people to put ABC on notice, we see the connection, the dots are in a row and if they go there, we have certain proof that ABC has conspired with an opposing party’s surrogates to play “gotcha” with a candidate in a primary, and at the very least, they owe America 90 minutes of a dKos inspired Forum with John McSame

Yeah, hold your breath waiting for that one, jackass. Ace says it:

Oh, it’s funny stuff, all right.

After 50 years, Hillary supporters are finally complaining that when the press falls in love (as they always do) with the more-liberal candidate, they are flagrantly unfair to the less-liberal one.

And suddenly Obama supporters realize there might be some small conflict of interest in former Clinton official George Stephanolopolous now acting as an “impartial” media talking head.

Welcome to the party, pals.

Yes indeed. And of course Excitable Andy is in full hand-flapping-hysteria mode:

Clinton has exposed herself in this campaign as one of the worst shells of a cynical pol in American politics. She doesn’t just return us to the Morris-Rove era, she represents a new height for it. If she somehow wins, it will be a triumph of the old politics in an age when that is exactly what this country cannot afford. But Obama has also shown a failure to be resilient in this grueling process. In some ways, I’m glad. No normal reasonable person subjected to the series of attacks on his integrity, faith, patriotism, decency and honesty would not wilt. And we need a normal reasonable person in the White House again. But this is still the arena we have. It is what it is. ABC News is what it is. The MSM knows no other way. Obama has to survive and even thrive under this assault if he is to win. He failed tonight in a big way.

And so this was indeed a huge night for the Republicans, and the first real indicator to me that Clinton is gaining in her fundamental goal at this point: the election of John McCain against Barack Obama. How else will she rescue the Democrats from hope?

“Rescue the Democrats from hope?” Jesus. ‘Scuse me, Black Racist Jesus. Which term I will no longer be able to use once the Messiah’s Fairness Doctrine thought police (staff to be drawn from the likes of the lunatic Kossac quoted above) are firmly and fully in charge. Karl nails the hypocrisy:

Of course, that was in response to the CNN/YouTube GOP debate, which omitted quesions on healthcare, Iran, energy, education, or subprime mortgages, in favor of questions about what guns the candidates owned, whether they take the Bible literally, and putting a man on Mars by 2020. Also, Ron Paul was asked about whether he’s going to run as an independent. And questioning how Rudy Giuliani could betray the Yankees by supporting the Red Sox in the post-season. That debate was “immensely entertaining and revealing – another coup for CNN and YouTube.” That the questioners were Democrat plants was “a trivial subplot.”

Plenty more weeping and wailing here. And, of course, here:

In perhaps the most embarrassing performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years, ABC News hosts Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos focused mainly on trivial issues as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama faced off in Philadelphia. They, and their network, should hang their collective heads in shame.

Yeah, and as Michelle notes, no questions about diamonds versus pearls, no shills planted in the audience and touted as “concerned moderates,” no “schoolmarms” asking for a show of hands — why, it was Teh Worst Debate Evaarr!

And it’s not just the Nutroots doing the whining, either:

It was another step downward for network news — in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances.

For the first 52 minutes of the two-hour, commercial-crammed show, Gibson and Stephanopoulos dwelled entirely on specious and gossipy trivia that already has been hashed and rehashed, in the hope of getting the candidates to claw at one another over disputes that are no longer news. Some were barely news to begin with.

“Usually dependable” — as in, we can usually depend on these liberal “journalists” to ambush the less-Left candidate, but with no one to the right of Lenin present last night, they started eating their own. “Despicable” — when it’s Black Racist Jesus — who has a perfect right to get a pass on any and all of the more uncomfortable questions raised by his unsavory associations, his lying, and his naked loathing for every non-socialist American institution — they’re jumping on, and not some hapless Rethug.

Cuffy rounds up some previous calls for jack-booted-thug censorship from the freethinkers, just to remind you that it’s certainly nothing new. Say something they don’t like, and, like the good little Stalinists they are, they’ll do their best to shut you down. Period.

Well, cry me a river, cupcakes. Didn’t you know that when you advocate such nefarious methods as the ones that have been used by liberal-media propagandists against the Right for years now, it’ll usually come back to haunt you in the end?

Oh, it’s all just too rich, all right. Somebody pass the popcorn, willya?

Update! Stephen brings Teh Funny:

7:16pm That’s sweet, quoting the Constitution at Democrats. Might as well quote Ghandi at Stalin.

Actually, I’d say it’s more like teaching a pig to sing: wastes your time, annoys the pig.
