Tapper grills Carney: Why isn’t it fair to blame Obama for Hoffa’s remarks?

Hot Air  "By comparison, not only is Hoffa not sorry for what he said, the best Carney can do by way of repudiation on Obama’s behalf is to say that no one speaks for The One (except him). Will that standard also apply to the Republican nominee next year? Of course not, but don’t expect any reporter there to challenge Carney on it later when the Democrats’ smear campaign against him/her gets going — except Tapper himself, of course. In fact, the new head of the DNC, who was one of the most adamant proponents of the “new tone” after the Tucson shooting, spent an entire segment on Fox News this morning deflecting questions about Hoffa rather than denouncing him. How soon things change."

Biden equates Tea Party, GOP with 'Barbarians'  "By the left's own definition, Hoffa, Biden, and Carson should all be taken to task for "hate speech." The fact that they won't be isn't surprising. But it does reveal the opposition to be nauseating, deluded hypocrites without the courage of their own convictions."

Gretchen Carlson And Wasserman-Shultz Spar Over Hoffa’s ‘Take Them Out’ Remark"Cut to this morning’s appearance by the DNC chair on Fox and Friends. When challenged to rebuke Hoffa’s comments, Wasserman-Shultz punted, refusing to speak about the comments directly, staying focused on the economic woes that her constituents and most American’s are currently facing. This line of defense seemed to exasperate Carlson, who, when challenged by the DNC about violent Tea Party rhetoric, defended her fair and balanced approach by her central position on the Fox and Friends “curvy couch.”"
