I just love the hypocrisy of the progressive socialists, in this case script writers David Gregory ands Howard Kurtz, when it comes to breaking the law. That the progressive Democrats do it all the time, including the president and Harry Reid, not passing a budget, required by law, for four years, just means all the progressives Democrats can break the law with impunity, right?
But wait, judges do it all the time when it suits their need to change the law to meet the liberal socialist agenda, i.e. Wisconsin voter ID and collective beggaring laws found unconstitutional, so not all progressives. hmmmmmm.
The point in all this is, the progressive socialist liberal Democrats believe, completely, they are above the law. It's their duty to inform the unwashed where they have been mislead even if it means subverting the law to meet the agenda of getting total power.
It is their deepest held belief, and it's their destiny, that they have to have power to control others, nothing else matters. Nothing!
David Gregory's Props and Pomposity
Brent Bozell (Town Hall)
The D.C. police investigation of NBC hotshot David Gregory for waving around an empty ammo magazine on "Meet the Press" easily proves two things. First, D.C.'s "ammunition control" laws are ridiculous. But more importantly, once again, we find the arrogance of the national press knows no boundaries.
Let us stipulate that this kind of law is just plain stupid. Empty ammo magazines are less threatening than mosquitoes. The point is, however, that liberals like David Gregory do subscribe to this kind of idiotic law -- for everyone else.
Was Gregory so ignorant that he didn't know he was breaking a D.C. law? Nope. We learned NBC contacted the D.C. police and asked for permission to wave the props, and the cops said no. Then Gregory did it anyway. So not only did he believe he was above the law, he broke it so he could produce maximum buzz for his Sunday show.
Naturally, other media elites leaped to his defense. Newsweek's Howard Kurtz acknowledged Gregory's opportunism, but chided the police for being sticklers: "Was the moderator of Meet the Press caught on tape, armed and dangerous, liberating a few Slurpees from a 7-Eleven? No ... Was it a stunt? Yep, and an eye-catching one ... But a police probe over what I assume was an empty ammo clip is a total waste of time."
Kurtz even made a little video for his site the Daily Download where he took a stand against reality: "Nobody's saying that he's above the law!" Earth to Howard: when you call even a cursory police investigation a "total waste of time," you're saying Gregory's above the law.
Somehow, Kurtz was "stunned at the vitriol" against Gregory for feeling he could violate the law because he waved a liberal talking point in the face of the NRA's Wayne LaPierre.
This kind of arrogant confrontation with conservatives was Gregory's chosen path to media power.
He threw epic fits of egotism at the Bush White House at the late, great Tony Snow. In 2006, after Gregory demanded that Bush's "failure" in Iraq should be "put before the voters," Snow outraged him by saying "I think you've admirably expressed the Democratic point of view."
Gregory mounted his high horse and struck a Napoleonic pose: "Don't try to dismiss me as making a
Democratic argument, Tony, when I'm speaking fact! You can do that to the Democrats; don't do it to me!"
