TheDC Morning: Golfers fight back!

1.) Golfers fight back! — The golf industry doesn’t like the jokes about President Obama spending too much time on the golf course. TheDC’s Matt Lewis reports:

“Golfers apparently have it so hard these days that a pro-golf lobby group called ‘WeAreGolf‘ is urging Senator Marco Rubio to refrain from discussing President Obama’s ‘passion for golf’ in the future. ‘As we enter the final stretch of campaign season,” the group writes,”we write to make a request we hope you will receive in the same spirit in which it is offered. Please reconsider your political strategy of criticizing President Obama’s passion for golf.’ (Emphasis theirs.) The concerns apparently stem from Rubio’s speech during the GOP convention in Tampa last month. ‘Our problem with President Obama isn’t that he’s a bad person,” Rubio said. “By all accounts, he too is a good husband and a good father and — thanks to lots of practice — a good golfer. Our problem is not that he’s a bad person. Our problem is that he’s a bad president.'”

2.) Media Matters for attacking — Media Matters doesn’t want to answer The Daily Caller’s queries. TheDC’s Matthew Boyle  reports:

“The Department of Justice continues to ignore requests for comment in response to the revelation its Office of Public Affairs director Tracy Schmaler has coordinated with left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America, and is sending signals to at least one media organization that the cabinet agency doesn’t believe the collaboration has great significance. ‘We have reached out to the Justice Department for some comment on this,’ Fox News Channel anchor Jon Scott said on the air Tuesday morning. ‘Officially, they are not commenting about it — ‘no comment’ — although they are essentially saying, off the record, that it is not a big deal.'”

3.) Et tu, Linda? — Linda McMahon is distancing herself from Mitt Romney and his terrible campaign, reports TheDC’s Alexis Levinson:

“Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon distanced herself from her party’s presidential nominee Tuesday, saying she completely disagrees with Mitt Romney’s leaked statement that 47 percent of Americans are ‘dependent on government’ and see themselves as ‘victims’ who are ‘entitled to food, to housing, to you name it.’ ‘Well I couldn’t disagree with Governor Romney more on that,’ McMahon told The Daily Caller in an interview.”

4.) Path to freedom — North Korea is the closest thing to hell on earth. But some Christians are trying to help those trapped in the Hermit Kingdom to escape out of it, reports TheDC’s Jamie Weinstein (ME!):

“A new underground railroad run significantly by Christians has formed to help North Koreans escape their oppressive regime, Hudson Institute senior fellow Melanie Kirkpatrick told The Daily Caller … ‘Two groups of people operate the new underground railroad,’ [Kirkpatrick] continued, ‘brokers, who are in it for the money, and humanitarian workers — especially Christians — who are in it to serve God. It is against Chinese law to assist North Koreans, and anyone who helps them is subject to arrest, prison, and, if he’s a foreigner, expulsion. In ‘Escape from North Korea,’ I profile several American Christians who help. They operate safe houses, they run orphanages, and they lead North Koreans out of China. These people are brave and incredibly inspiring.'”

5.) Poll of the Day: Ohio/Florida see Obama’s foreign policy differently –– Keep America Safe poll of Florida and Ohio: In Ohio, the poll showed that 51.8 percent view Obama’s polices on security and foreign policy as strong, while 44.9 percent view them as weak. In contrast, only 46.2 percent of Floridians said they view Obama’s positions on such issues as strong, while 49.1 percent said they view them as weak.

6.) Tweet of Yesterday Conan O’Brien: Lamborghini has announced a major recall of their cars. So, if you have a Lamborghini, please return it to your local rerun of Miami Vice.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
