Monica Green and Henry Lowenstein: Phony Republicans Make Great MSM Props
The liberal MSM is so fake, you could hardly expect it to present the views of Republicans who aren't as phony as an Al Gore weather report. Monica Green and Henry Lowenstein are prime examples.
Yesterday's NBC Nightly News featured a "precinct captain" in Iowa named Monica Green, described as "a lifelong Republican, who twice voted for George Bush, now canvassing for Obama." But just a couple of months ago, Green said the last Republican with whom she "identified" was Reagan. When asked if she would vote for Reagan now, she gibbered:
You mean if he was running against Obama today? Oh my goodness. That's a good question… His views on communism were probably not the view I would appreciate today. I've got a much more global perspective today, and Obama touches that.
In other words, Monica would probably not vote for Reagan, for the simple reason that she is not a Republican, but a barking moonbat sympathetic to communism. Evidently NBC was fed this phony by the Obama campaign, which features the flaming leftist as a "Republican for Barack."
If Monica Green is a Republican, then so is Hugo Chavez. But all's fair in the cheap propaganda NBC passes off as news.
The New York Times appears inordinately fond of an alleged Republican named Henry A. Lowenstein. It's not easy getting a letter published by the Shady Gray Lady, but Lowenstein has managed 20 times since 2003. It doesn't hurt that he presents himself as a "lifelong Republican" who sputteringly hates everything Republicans stand for. He makes use of the soapbox to spew opinions like these:
January 3, 2008 — As I travel around the world and speak to peoples of all races, religions and social standing, it is painfully obvious that we have become a pariah around the globe to friend and foe alike. We have allowed this administration to lie, cheat and break the law, and to break its sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
August 18, 2005 — The Bush administration's domestic plan is to make sure that every worthwhile, successful and fair entitlement program is eliminated. The administration's constituents, the super rich, do not need or want these programs. By putting a faux Social Security program at the top of his domestic agenda, the president has clearly shown that he couldn't care less about the elderly.
February 27, 2004 — John Kerry is no ''Massachusetts liberal'' and no Michael Dukakis. John Kerry is Karl Rove's worst nightmare: a candidate who can go eye to eye with the president on foreign policy and terrorism, and whose record on health care, the environment and jobs is exemplary.
May 26, 2003 — The decline of the dollar is a sign of what may come if we allow the folly of tax cuts when what we really need is a huge influx of capital and a shrinking of our trade deficits.
By some remarkable coincidence, there's a guy from New York named Henry Lowenstein who gives generously, but only to Democrats.
Sure, Lowenstein is a lifelong Republican — just like the New York Times and NBC News are reliable sources of objective information.

I am shocked - shocked! - that the MSM would pull a stunt like this!
Like they haven't faked things before. And they ask why they are rated lower than lawyers? Hehehee!
