Title: Utah Republicans Oust Sen. Bob Bennett in Anti-Incumbent Rage

Sen. Bob Bennett, a conservative who fell out of favor among even more conservative Republicans in an anti-incumbent rage, failed to get his party's nomination in Utah Saturday, making it very difficult for him to seek a fourth term.

The gangly, bespectacled senator finished third in the second round of balloting at the Republican state convention in Salt Lake City, sealing his fate, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Businessman Tim Bridgewater and lawyer and Tea Party favorite Mike Lee finished first and second respectively and will face off in a June 22 primary.

When results were announced there were shouts of "he's gone, he's gone," as some GOP delegates waved "Do Not Tread On Me" flags -- a favored symbol of the aggressively conservative Tea Party movement.

In defeat, Bennett becomes the first incumbent Utah senator to be deprived of his party's nomination since Democrats ousted Sen. William King in 1940 over his opposition to the New Deal, the Tribune said.

Bennett, 76, was in tears, saying "the political atmosphere obviously has been toxic and it's very clear that some of the votes I have cast have added to the toxic environment." He was faulted, in particular, for supporting the Troubled Asset Relief Program -- the so-called bailout bill. He could yet try a write-in candidacy, but it would be a huge challenge.


Poster's Comment: Notice the word usage in the article and how it is spun. It reminds me of the News Reader comment in '92 that the public had "thrown a temper tantrum" by throwing out the Democrat majority.

Notice the phraseology such as "aggressively conservative" Tea Party movement. In other words citizens who object to corrupt government are being "aggressive". As well poooooooor Bennet was "in tears" over the "toxic environment". Notice the headline and how it is an anti-ecumbent "rage". It has little to do with how Bennet betrayed his constituents or spit on the Constitution but that the voters are in a "rage" thus implying that it was an act not born of rational thought.

Unfortunately most sheeple, including those who pay credence to this kind of crap will never even realize that their emotional responses are being manipulated.

Anything with even the faintest whiff of populism will always draw fire from the Beltway media.

The Tea Party is a political movement that is part and parcel of the entire talk radio, Fox News, and the rightwing blogosphere. IOW, everything that libmedia hates because it is stealing their lunch with the liberal media titans of yesteryear downsizing fast, shrinking up their pagecounts, discounting subscriptions heavily and still going broke.

So libmedia loathes anything like the Tea Party. This is why they rant about teabaggers and such. They're in a rage that, of all groups, this bunch is going up against them. They also know that the right wing has done a lot to close the gap in 527 organizations of all kinds to counter and mimic groups like MoveOn and other Soros-funded organizations. They had had a free run in that area of politics.

That is because they regard themselves as "innately superior" to the "common herd". It is not merely that it is associated with "conservative" media, but that there is a resurgence of defense of the rights of the ordinary citizen. Since they despise the ordinary citizen anything which we do which even holds the potential to upset what they regard as "the natural order of things" frightens them. They are basically cowards, and are afraid, because deep down inside they know just how massive their betrayal has been.

Excess of populism is rightly condemned by those who know their American history.

That said, the Beltway political and libmedia elite tends to consider anything that comes from the citizenry that conflicts with the all-big-government-all-the-time liberal philosophy of both of the District's crime families as a bunch of hicks and boobs throwing a temper tantrum, regardless of the merits of their complaints. It is another way to blunt any reflection of policy from outside the Beltway and to treat the entire country as though they are outsiders and somehow illegitimate because they are not recognized think tanks, libmedia outlets, representatives of the incestuous and corrupt Beltway system and its empire.
