View Full Version : If ever there was overt evidence that the MSM so desperately NEEDS Obama to win...

...this is it. Talk about "reaching...."
I am shocked by the following lines in an ASSOCIATED PRESS "analysis" piece:
Palin's words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee "palling around" with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America?
In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers' day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as "not like us" is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American.
The fact is that when racism creeps into the discussion serves a purpose for McCain. As the fallout from Wright's sermons showed earlier this year, forcing Obama to abandon issues to talk about race leads to unresolved arguments about America's promise to treat all people equally.This is absolute proof that the MSM is in mortal fear that RACISM might ultimately cost Obama the election.
THEY (the MainStream Media) are going to do EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to PUMP up and PROP up Obama WITH THEIR OWN BRAND OF BIAS, in order to "counteract" this perceived racial bias in America that they believe might lose the election for their chosen one.

I lost count how many times BO said with a smile on his face "They'll tell you I have a funny name & that I don't look like any of the Presidents that you find on currency"
So what is it? Garner sympathy for race or point a finger accusing? Both I guess.

In the words of a former coworker, who had to stand up to attacks like this...."I reject your unfounded comment about racism. Now back to the issue at hand".
Ayres, Obama have ties. That's a fact. Ayres is unrepentant about bombing buildings. Another fact.
It's Obama's turf to defend now, and the issue is a legitimate concern to Americans.

i've come to the conclusion that its really inaccurate to call it the mainstream media, MSM. it's really left wing media, pro Obama media, pro democrat media. nothing really mainstream about it.
they are most certainly not news organizations anymore. people need to realize that. if you read something from AP, the NYT, Reuters, etc, just consider it as an extension of the Obama campaign talking points, or the Obama TV station. no difference. they're not covering news anymore, its no secret. they're pushing an agenda while "pretending" that its news. the sooner everyone realizes this the better.

Sen. Barack Obama said today that, while his rival John McCain seeks to "distract you with smears" and "Swift Boat-style attacks" in the last weeks of the campaign, he would keep focused on economic issues and what he described as McCain's shortcomings.
Economic issues :lol:

what does Obama know about economic issues anyway? other than raising taxes that is. oh I almost forgot, he's being tutored by Franklin Raines so all is well.
He got a house from the mob.
He got more money from Fannie and Freddie than anyone.
Hmmmm, the mob, Fannie and Freddie, the terrorist, the reverend, Hitler Youth movements.....I see a pattern here.

Top headline: Karl Rove projects 273 electoral votes for Obama
Leads to story headline: Obama clinches on Rove map
Article says:
With 30 days until Nov. 4, Karl Rove projects that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) would get at least 273 electoral votes – three more than are needed to win – if the presidential election were held today.
But Rove warns that this race is “susceptible to rapid changes,” so no definite prediction is possible.
The remarkable forecast from the architect of the last two nationwide political victories underscores the straits that have rapidly enveloped Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) as the banking and credit crisis spread.
If you were writing headlines would you use "projects" or "clinches" after Rove says race is susceptible to rapid changes?

"In his May 4 Tribune column, Chapman wrote:
What McCain didn't mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers -- in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.
How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns -- including $1,000 this year.
Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."
Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?"

Well ya know Paceadvantage, you're right, there is not really that much racial bias left in this country, good news-- since if there was, the Democrats would never have nominated him in the first place.
Case closed.
I love closeing these cases.
I've already said that Obama will win and be our next President despite the fact I've decided to vote the other way. The only person making sense to me is a female NRA member who is very unqualifed for the job and a woman. Bullly for her!

She doesn't know anything other than about Moose? Not saying you said that, but in my opinion she's worth my vote in November because she put the blame where it belongs: on the American People at large. Black white or red, it will be interesting to watch as America comes back. Would not bet against it.

I'd use "clinches" to indicate that Rove has Obama cracking the magic number of 270 to win...that was the point; not how many votes he currently has him at, but that he went over the top - but you missed that clear distinction while throwing a snit fit.
Try the economy!! and George Bush!! He has set back the Republican party twenty years.
Seeing how the dems are 40 years behind the times, what with Obama being the new Carter, I guess it is a wash.

If anything McCain was the one calling for more regulation of Fannie and Freddie (ALONG WITH GEORGE BUSH) back when Democrats were saying no additional oversight was needed....everything was FINE.
What is McCain waiting for? When is he going to pound this message home? Destroy Barney Frank. Destroy Chris Dodd. These are strong supporters and pals of OBAMA! Let's bring these roaches out into the light of day to answer for their screw ups.

And I mean that in (MORE WAYS THAN ONE)...SAD really...
No, major concern actually. O'Bama has surrounded himself with questionable people, many who hate this country and one who is an actual terrorist. Yet every time one of these slime-balls is outed to the public, O'Bama claims he did not know about it. Think about it - is this guy that much of a moron? Do you want someone this oblivious as CNC of this great nation?
Or, is he just another GD lying politician?
Frankly, I cannot see how anyone can look seriously at O'bama and consider voting for him.

In most ways, I don't care who wins. I look forward to working against everything Obama stands for. This includes his supporters. I want McCain to win so Palin has a brighter future and encourages more candidates like her to come to the forefront. After 4 years of Obama, things will be rough....... but it may be worth it in the long run.
The media and his "own people" will turn on him late in year two. I keep hearing this "Obama's people" bullshit on radio and even in interviews with his supporters on local TV. I can't wait for the tide to change. The media will go after him by then. It should be fun to watch.

If it was that bad, we wouldn't even have a black guy able to get this far. Constant reminders that we are racist only make white people feel guilty and vote for Obama in fear of being called a racist. In spite of the issues they will vote for the most liberal senator in US history just so they won't be called racist.
If Obama wins, it will be because he overcame a racist America to rise to the top.
If Obama loses, it will be because racist whitey would not elect a black man.

“He’s ‘not one of us?’” Mr. Meeks said, referring to a comment Sarah Palin made at a campaign rally on Oct. 6 in Florida. “That’s racial. That’s fear. They know they can’t win on the issues, so the last resort they have is race and fear.”
