The selective memory brigade is at it again.

When word got around that the Barack Obama campaign had decided to make room on the official plane for some new journalists, from Ebony and Jet, by booting off the reporters from three newspapers who -- by an astonishing coincidence -- had recently endorsed McCain, a thought that had been bouncing around the back of my mind finally jelled: now we're finally seeing the true face of the Obama campaign -- and administration.

The message being sent: you're either with us or you're against us.

Ever since he first announced his candidacy, Obama has enjoyed tremendous support from the press. They've touted him, glorified him, praised him, and covered for him. They've also fought his battles for him, taking on such presumptuous upstarts like "Joe the Plumber" and Stanley Kurtz and anyone else who dares risk embarrassing Obama so he won't have to sully his saintly hands.

And in return, how has this slavish devotion worked out for them?

Ask any woman in a relationship with an abusive man.

Yeah, that sounds harsh. But I think it's not entirely inappropriate.

Barack Obama, both directly and through his surrogates, has been presumptuous, contemptuous, deceptive, demanding, and downright abusive to the press throughout their long relationship.

Now this was written by Jay Tea, someone whom I once considered to be a voice of reason in the conservative blogsphere.... I have since gone off my meds and see him for what he is...

Jay buddy, when you got to foaming at the mouth this morning, trying to turn this incident into something foul, evil and even SEXIST, though I dont know how that one got in there.... Did you think about THIS? Or did you just figure that the DIGITAL DITTOHEADS, who follow Wizbang would not know about it, or care.... Eh, thats called hypocrisy.

You guys are grasping at straws.... And in the process, losing any last illusions of credibility that you may have had. I, and a lot of other people, on BOTH sides apparently, are laughing at you. How's that workin' for ya?
