At Home On Piety Hill

UPDATE!
10/27/2008   This just in: The Obama-O’Biden campaign blackballs a CBS affiliate for asking tough, pointed, fair questions — treatment that conservatives routinely and courageously respond to daily!!! It seems like just yesterday that the jackbooted thugs silenced an Orlando FL station for asking appropriate questions that, frankly, should have been asked of Obama and O’Biden throughout the campaign. 

I haven’t seen a news anchor treat a Democrat like a Libertarian or Republican in a long time. It was kind of refreshing for a change, but it seemed odd to see someone with all the trappings of the progressive media asking O’Biden tough questions. Though the depth and thoughtfulness of the interview was surprising, the Democrat response was predictable:

Biden so disliked West’s line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate’s wife.

“This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

Get ready for at least four years of this sort of Stalinist retaliation against any dissenting voices. By the way, I once heard someone say “dissent is patriotic.”
