Mourdock camp blames failure on ‘liberal media’

Dec. 11, 2012 2:52pm Eddie Scarry

Richard Mourdock, former Republican U.S. Senate candidate out of Indiana, lost his election. The reason, according to an email from his campaign: The “liberal media.”

“After a bitter, hard-fought campaign, many Republicans all over the country were forced to accept defeat rather than celebrate victory,” the email, sent out by Mourdock’s Finance Director Ashlee Walls to supporters said. “In our case, we found our campaign caught in the liberal media crosshairs. Never has Indiana seen a more obvious example of media bias by reporters more interested in defeating conservatives than reporting the news.”

By “the news,” Walls is not referring to comments Mourdock made during a televised debate; comments wherein he said pregnancy as a result of rape was “something God intended to happen.” Because that’s definitely not “the news.”

The Hill was the first to report on the email.

Liberals and Libertarians are indistinguishable in their naked hatred. Just read their comments.

How ’bout this – Mourdock lost the election because electing idiots was not something God intended.

No Mourdock – don’t be blaming someone else because that is what the libs do. You lost it all on your own with the comment you made and then kept on digging the hole and now guess you want to keep digging it. Maybe next time you will insert brain before you open the pie hole. That is a seat we needed badly and never should have lost.

  exactly right. This seat was a gimme because commie Mccaskill is so incompetent. But this bonehead just had to fall for the bait just like every moderate joke repub and blew an easy win. Way to go moderate repub jerks. And I don’t want to hear any crap about this moron being a Tea party conservative

When is the thought ever going to cross their mind that just about anything they say like this is just gasoline to the enormous bonfire they already created. It’s best for his campaign to just shut up, accept defeat and go home and let the bonfire die on it’s own…
By the way I live in Indiana and I am deeply saddened by this loss.
