Most everyone has now heard about or watched FNS host Chris Wallace' insulting question to Rep. Michelle Bachman:
"Are you a flake?"
Wallace has since offered a sort-of apology. But the damage was done and lefties, GOP elitists, no doubt took delight.
The fact of the matter is that some in Congress and the Administration do embrace views that are "anti-American". We are fortunate to have those members of Congress who acknowldege and understand this threat.
This is not the first time Wallace has served the role of a useful dhimmi interviewer:
Just a few weeks ago during his FNS interview with Herman Cain, Wallace regurgitated the false Islamic propaganda pertaining to the so-called "right of return".
As long as Wallace has been a journalist he should know better. But apparently he is even more clueless.
The so-called "right to return",or "right of return", has become a phrase used to mean Arabs who became refugees after abandoning their homes and property in Israel at the urging of their Arab Muslim leaders in 1948.
They did not leave because they were-"...kicked out...",- as Chris Wallace asserted. Rather, they left at the urging of their own Arab leaders.
During the eight years of the Bush Administration, Condi Rice was a frequent guest on FNS with Chris Wallace. In each case the interview amounted to nothing more than a extra soft, soft, softball interview.
Among the questions that Wallace should have put to Rice were:
How is it remotely possible that you can equate the suffering of blacks in the "Old South" with Islamists who want to destroy Israel?
[In January of 2006 candidates representing Hamas won a clear majority of legislative seats in the PA. Bush tried to whitewash this by saying Hamas campaigned on a platform to "fight corruption" and render better "social services".
Such an explanation is willful denial of reality. It was not as though the "Palestinian people" were cluesless of the terrorist ideology of Hamas. And it was not an impediment as to how they voted.]
The reason for the security barrier in Israel and the road checkpoints is due directly to terrorism against Israel, not "apartheid".
Next question for Rice:
How can the U.S. government continue to spend $millions of taxpayer dollars to fund the Palestinian Authority in violation of the U.S. laws against funding terrorist organizations?
[The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade is a recognized terrorist organization. It is also the official military wing of Fatah which runs the Palestinian Authority. Members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade openly serve in PA security services.]
On different occasions watching FNS there has often been the frustration of Wallace not asking the questions he should be asking. And then asking,- stupid questions.
A few years back Caroline Glick wrote an article entitled "How Olmert Defies Gravity".
In that article Glick referenced an Israeli journalist who made the statement-
"...it is scandalous for the government to trade access to policymakers for positive coverage. But the fact is that such arrangements are the stock in trade of politics."
Such most likely is the case in America media and politics as well.
One thing is for sure, - if Chris Wallace had ever put Condi Rice on the hot seat, and asked questions like the ones above, there most likely never would have been anymore access to Sect.of State Condi Rice for his FNS show.
