Rick Wilson absolutely scorches Trump and his supporters with the flames of a 1000 suns

19. Fuck Wilson - he is why we are where we are ...

From his Media Dodged the "Everything Trump Touches Dies" OP ED.

Yes, in 2008 the press lost their damn collective minds. The first Obama campaign benefited from a tidal wave of largely uncritical adulation. The superlatives flowed in a ridiculous, flowery stream of praise that bordered at times on the creepy. Yes, “the One” was a media absurdity. I remember emailing a reporter this snarky note after reading one of her pieces: “Are you practicing writing ‘Mrs. Katherine Obama’ in loopy script in your mash book?” (Name withheld to protect the embarrassed.)

They spoke and wrote about Obama in terms so glowing and so toadying that it was easy to caricature the journalist class of 2008 as a group of fangirls squealing and fainting at his every utterance. That nearly mindless rah-rah remained a constant element in Obama’s coverage until he walked out of the Oval Office. Conservatives rightly mocked it, but the smarter types recognized it as an example of the normative power of media and pop culture. The two had combined in one fell swoop to overcome Barack Obama’s thin résumé, his lack of experience, and questions about his ideological underpinnings. Donald Trump wasn’t the first celebrity president. Yes, the press treated Hillary as Her Majesty the President-in-Waiting Glass-Ceiling-Shatterer-for-the-Epoch and ignored her terrible campaigns and clunky persona and the defective-robot affect she displayed on the campaign trail.

He is the type of petulant, childish, hyperbolic republican who created the environment that germinated 45.

BHO was in fact a highly competent, and charming, public servant - the media reported what and who he was, while doing its best to try to horserace him by indulging right wing bullshit over the Reverand and the flagpin.

Hillary Clinton was a decent, and extremely competent public servant, the media ACTIVELY spent decades doing the conservatives dirt for them by fomenting the idea that it was her fault that they were unhinged lunatics about her.

So, great, he is bombastic trump basher.

Yeah!

But, he was active in the unadulterated political gamemanship that created a "base" of people who primed to fall into line behind a politician who took the whip by making decent public servants into the spawn of satan.

OWN THAT, Wilson.

Then check back in.
