Taylor Marsh’s Amazing Dishonest Adventure

February 16, 2008 · Posted in Election 2008 

Taylor Marsh engages in some of the most amazing mental and intellectual gyrations I’ve ever seen today. Anyone who has ever read a Taylor Marsh column on the Huffpo or elsewhere clearly understands that she’s a shrill Hillary Clinton apologist and unabashed fan. Nothing wrong with that. I’m not partial to shrill, but she’s entitled to be an apologist and a fan. It is, after all, Op-Ed.

What boggles the mind about her column today is that she excoriates other columnists for doing the same thing she does.

The real insult and depravity of Carlson is that she’s so arrogant that she feels comfortable telling all to a reader. She fears no consequences from her duplicitous anti Hillary agenda. Everybody’s doing it, baby, so let ‘er rip. Writing and presenting herself as unbiased, while actively using her position at Bloomberg news to damage Clinton’s candidacy. It’s all in a day’s work for “journalists,” these days known as political hacks, like Margaret Carlson.


Of course, Robinson, like his Obama blog counterparts, never mention the words Rezko, Exelon (new NBC video), if only to point out how badly Obama’s judgment is. No one reports on former C.I.A. Larry Johnson’s investigative pieces exposing Obama’s horrific choices. It’s all about what Clinton hasn’t done. This goes on ad nauseam from people like Robinson and Carlson, but many others too. Clinton is continually painted in one light, while beams from heaven bask Obama in enlightenment.

As for Ms. Carlson, the email above comes amidst her appearances on tv, especially on shows like “Hardball,” where she, too, pretends to offer analysis in the guise of We’re Looking Out For You, Mr. and Ms. Voter, when at her core, like Robinson, she intends to do everything she can to stop Hillary Clinton. Now, she’s got every right to do just that, but her duplicitous dishonesty in presenting herself as some unbiased analyst is nothing less than unethical and unprofessional.

Try this: Substitute Taylor Marsh’s name where you read those of Ms. Carlson or Robinson, and Barack Obama’s name where you see Hillary Clinton’s. Is Marsh indulging in some bizarre form of self-hating or jumping through characteristic loops of intellectually dishonest thinking when it comes to the treatment of “her candidate”?

I think it’s the latter.

  • daveinboca,

    The spin is nearly unbearable. There was another piece today, so shrill I couldn't stand reading it. Something about if you only count Democrats voting for Hillary then she's ahead...now there's a track to electability in November. Pulease.

    Didn't Ickes handle the Monica spin? Seems like he did.
  • Taylor Marsh and another skank named Jeralyn are two skags simply unable to brook any opposition to their Hillarious fraud of a candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if Ickes and Grunwald were slipping them some bucks under the table to continue their one-sided rants.
