Will they be able to do it? Not sure. But they'll try. Look how they went after Sarah Palin. By the way, how hard has the mainstream media tried to track down Obama's senior college thesis? Have they tried to find out ANYTHING about him? No.
But now the media plans to go after the 23 foster children that were in Michele Bachmann's home. I predicted this to friends a few weeks ago. Many, if not most of these kids were really troubled. Eating disorders, etc. etc. Dare anyone conceive that a little extra spending money might -- just might - be offered to give some false testimony? Pardon my suspicions.
The liberal media is conducting warfare without the shooting. One might as well recognize (and deplore) "it is what it is," and fight back. Andrew Breitbart is doing so. So are others. The battle must be joined.
Jim Loft of Gateway Pundit reports:
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos warned Michele Bachmann that the media plans on investigating all 23 of her foster children.
Stephanopoulos: Finally one—one final question. I think one of the most impressive things that people find in your background is the fact that you and your husband have helped raise 23 foster children and I know you want to shield them but are they prepared and are you prepared for the loss of privacy that comes with the president campaign? And is that something you are concerned about for them?
Bachmann: Well when we were making this momentous decision we sat down for a long time as a family and contemplated what this was meaning and yes, we are ready. We have five wonderful biological children. Our last one is off to college our oldest one is a doctor. And then we had great – a great 23 foster children in our home as well. And as you can imagine and appreciate we’ve tried to keep a good handle on their privacy and we will do that, we will respect their privacy. We are thankful that we had them but we also want to observe their privacy and that of their families.
