John Edwards can now probably kiss his Vice presidential prospects with Barack Obama good-bye now that he’s been caught leaving the Beverly Hilton, after a meeting with Rielle Hunter and their love child in LA early Tuesday morning. The story of Edwards and his one-time campaign worker, Hunter, surfaced in October 2007, when the National Enquirer first broke the story.
John Edwards-Rielle Hunter Love Child Scandal Library of Stories
Thought the paper never named Hunter as the “other woman” in the affair, Hunter came out and denounced the Enquirer story on a small website at the time. [See “John Edwards Love Child Scandal: Why Did Rielle Hunter Denounce the National Enquirer 9 Weeks Before Publication Named Her?“].
That story excited little interest, but it seemed like a tidal wave of publicity compared to the media reaction when the Enquirer released it’s December 2007 story and named Hunter as the other half of the affair.
The Mainstream Media totally blacked out the story.
Not one reporter asked Edwards, who at the time was on the campaign trail in his quest for the presidency, about the allegations–even though it was revealed that Hunter had been moved 5 miles from the Edwards Campaign HQ in Chapel Hill NC. The fact that the house she was living in was owned by an Edwards’ backer didn’t excite any MSM curiosity.
Neither did the fact that Hunter was driving around in a BMW registered to a campaign official.
Will this time be any different?
Probably, since Edwards is no longer in the hunt for the Democrat nomination. He was, however, mentioned prominently in discussions as a possible VP candidate for Barack Obama. Others mentioned Edwards’ name as a possible Attorney General candidate.

The national news will jump all over a Republican Senator getting a hand job in a public bathroom but they stay silent when a Democratic senator is cheating on his wife, who has cancer, and has a child out of wedlock. The National News isn’t NEWS anymore, its left wing propaganda. We can’t even get the straight up facts anymore. People are brain washed and spoon fed the news that ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and HOLLYWOOD wants you to hear, not what is really happing in the world. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?
Hell I saw a hit piece on Michael Savage this morning on the Today show just because he said kids are being misdiagnosed with autism. The Today Show did a hit piece referring to people to boycott his sponsors. I don’t care what the hell he said, he has freedom of speech rights and the NATIONAL NEWS NETWORKS have no right attacking someone because they have the ability to do so. The power of the media is out of control. Quote, “Following the remarks, autism activists and parents are now calling for Savage’s job.” WHO IN THE HELL GAVE THESE ACTIVISTS THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Who cares what he said? Turn the damn station if you don’t like it. THE MEDIA IS LEADING US AROUND LIKE SHEEP PEOPLE. WAKE UP AND STOP BELIEVING THIS GARBAGE.
The Democrats have tried to compete with Conservative Talk Radio with Air America and it has miserably failed. So now these networks at every opportunity do hit pieces on them to try and get sponsors to stop advertising with them.
The Democrats in Congress want to pass the Fairness Doctrine to allow equal time on talk radio, while totally ignoring the fact that they dominate the National News, American Universities and local and state governments. They want to silence the Republicans and claim it’s in all due fairness.
Hell I can’t even download a conservative talk radio show off of iTunes without first filtering my way through all the Liberal crap first. Even though the conservative talk shows blow the other shows away in ratings.
How is this Democracy people? How is this Constitutional? How does this preserve our Liberties? The answer is it doesn’t. This kind of behavior is destructive and needs to stop.
