Through President Bush's entire single term, the media routinely slammed him for beating Michael Dukakis with the "Willie Horton ad," even though the Bush campaign never made it.
"Duke is more overt, of course, but he's really just pushing the same buttons and sending the same coded messages that the Horton ads did so effectively for the Bush campaign last year."
Then-USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds gave a prediction, saying, "It wouldn't surprise me if George Bush appointed David Duke, the former white sheet-wearing KKK wizard, as Republican National Committee chairman to implement the administration's white race-driven social policies." During the Los Angeles riots in 1992, then-Boston Globe editorial writer Randolph Ryan blamed Bush, the alleged race baiter, for the riots.
In 1990, the media briefly offered great tributes to Bush for breaking his "Read my lips: No new taxes!" campaign promise and signing a big, fat tax increase.
The same journalists who hailed Bush's "Courage" then blamed Bush for a recession, mocking him as out of touch for buying tube socks at JCPenney to try to sympathize with the working class he was apparently impoverishing.
The elder Bush only employed his "Annoy the Media, Re-Elect Bush" slogan in the desperate last days of his losing 1992 campaign.
Bush had jump-started his 1988 campaign by firing back at then-CBS anchorman Dan Rather after he accused him of embarrassing America around the world with the Iran-contra scandal.
