Die Hard 1 and the Obama Smear


Like the weasel reporter Richard (Dick) Thornburg, from Die Hard 1. His meddling with McClane's family to get a scoop almost gets John and Holly killed so there's a great emotional pay-off at the end of the film when Holly punches him. His acceptance of his sleazy hack status is confirmed with the line "Did you get that?" to his cameraman.

 

"Did you get that"

 

Obama and immigration?

 

John Mccain, accepting he's a sleazy hack

I am reminded too, by the part when both FBI agents  (Johnson's) are in the helicopter talking about the casualties of the upcoming assault. Agreeing that the collateral damage is acceptable.

 

The right to privacy is cast aside, as acceptable. Given that the results intended will be achieved, getting the scoop in order to SMEAR OBAMA
