Is Media Matters Obama's Watergate?

[Geee]

American Spectator:

Can you say Tony Ulasewicz?

OK. Let's get down to cases. The case of Media Matters and all those deeply interesting stories over at Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller.

Let's add some history. Context.

Let's focus on one solitary, very bright thread in this series of stories about Media Matters, specifically the relationship between Media Matters and the Obama White House.

There is one very disturbing, very serious precedent that provides a direct link between the Obama White House and its Media Matters buddies -- and the famous Watergate scandal that brought down the Nixon presidency.

Let's start with Anthony Ulasewicz. Or, "Tony" as the late New York City cop turned private investigator turned Watergate figure was known. And Tony's friend in the NYPD's "Bureau of Special Services," Jack Caulfield.

In the 1968 presidential campaign, Nixon aide John Ehrlichman had hired Jack Caulfield as a campaign "tour director." Caulfield at the time was a detective second grade in the NYPD, whose first contact with the Nixon staff came when he was assigned to candidate Nixon's Park Avenue campaign headquarters. Remember that this was 1968. Presidential candidate Senator Robert F. Kennedy had been assassinated in June, Martin Luther King two months before that. In this atmosphere police protection became a big thing, and shortly Nixon, like all out-of-office presidential candidates ever since (if they meet certain requirements -- as Rick Santorum has just done) had Secret Service protection. In the mix of this, inevitably Caulfield became friendly with the Nixon staff -- John Ehrlichman specifically. Victory in hand, Ehrlichman became White House Counsel and Assistant to the President. Combining with his longtime friend H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, soon the new White House Chief of Staff, the duo formed the top staff tier of the Nixon White House.

Getting off on the wrong track almost immediately, Ehrlichman asked Caulfield to form a private security agency to provide "investigative support" for the White House. Caulfield, rejected for the government post of Chief Marshal of the United States (boss of all those U.S. Marshals), said he wanted to work in the White House instead. Done. He was duly installed in the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House. His job? Yes indeed. Setting up a private intelligence system for Ehrlichman -- and the new President.

There is one MAJOR difference between the current stain and the regime he leads and the old regime of R.M. Nixon....and that is....

The msm hated Nixon. If it could not find anything actual, it used innuendo and smear from "highly placed sources" to keep up a constant stream of hatred and vituperation. Of course, Nixon was indeed "hate-able"!

Then, to make matters much much worse, Nixon's hubris resulted in an actual "break in" - the msm got wind of it, and the race was on!

Not so with the stain and the current regime. The msm equates the stain with either "god-hood" or "saint-hood"...and with their own sales of print and visual media. Hence, no - or little - effort to investigate...and great effort to ignore the "steaming pile of dog crap" in the room.

There will be no "water-gate" of any sort for this regime. None.

And all the blogging in the world by conservatives to conservatives will avail them nothing....other than a vented spleen.

If little billy clintoon was the teflon president, then the stain is absolutely "bullet proof".

Too bad tho...really good, professional, investigative reporting would have a field day!
