The Virginian Pilot Pens Its Ode to Obamamessiah

The Virginian ^ | 1/17/2009 | Moneyrunner

Beginning with the American Idol cover and leading to comparisons to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

The Virginian Pilot has always been an interesting microcosm of the Liberal South, self-congratulatory and racist in a way that only Liberals can exhibit racism. To the Southern Liberal it’s all about race. It’s all about helping black people up, about giving them a hand, about making reparations, about telling them how bad their parents and grandparents had it and how bad they have it because those evil people (the ones that are not Liberals) hold hate in their heart and do bad things.

So they treat them like children or pets. And they have their token black employees (although there are now fewer of them due to layoffs).

...

An independent adult resents pity and patronization. And that is what the brand of people who go to work at the Virginian Pilot represents. Even today, they do not see Barack Hussein Obama as the man who is entering the most powerful office in the world. They see him as a symbol of a people who they “just want to help.” To them, he’s not the President with a tan; he’s the Black Man in the Oval Office.

Which is the reason why Obama, the person who – in our history - has the fewest qualifications to enter the office of the Presidency, is likened to Abraham Lincoln. They are still carrying him across the finish line and will never let him run his own race.

When Obama finally crashes and burns, I hope he takes a lot of Liberals with him.

Last night, on the Hitler Channel, I watched a blurb about how Hitler assassinated something like 80 of his supporters, some of them his closest associates, such as Ernst Roehm, in one terrible night, because they had become--or were perceived to have become--a threat to him and his power.

As part of the blurb, it was told how the carefully controlled German press covered up this incident and all information unfavorable to Hitler and the Nazis and presented everything pertaining to them in the best possible light to the public.

The parallel between the German press of the 1920's and early 1930's and the Western Mainstream Newsmedia of the 21st century is chilling and frightening.

I searched for other parallels between the Nazis then and the U.S. political situation today. I found some. Many, I think, are lacking.

I do not think that Obama is a Hitler. I think that he is probably a good man. But I do not know--because almost everything about him has been hidden by the Mainstream Newsmedia or presented in a risibly-distorted favorable light.

I am not speaking of the Virginian here; I know nothing about it, and, frankly, I read only a few lines of the above article. But I am speaking of the U.S. Mainstream Newsmedia in general, no newspaper and no one in particular, because it is on my mind after watching the very frightening television program last night.

If a Hitler did appear and won the support of the Mainstream Newsmedia, the parallel to early 1930's Germany would be close.

And make no mistake: There are Hitlers out there. There always have been, and there always will be. They are watching for an opportunity and will seize it if they can. And a mendacious Newsmedia that serves as a de facto political propaganda machine is likely to proved just such an opportunity.

The situation is dangerous.

“I do not think that Obama is a Hitler. I think that he is probably a good man”

Define “good”. I bet Hitler thought he was “good” too. Really, doesn’t just about everyone?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Forget Hitler.. I'm more worried about Lincoln. He was a wartime president who took extraconstitutional steps. It was a civil war after all. Is that the Lincoln Obama wishes to emulate overshadow?

I know what you mean about our MSM employees. I suspect that right now they're struggling for words to use to describe a speech they haven't even heard, His inaugural speech; to wit, everyone in the world felt the tingle . . . greatest speech ever! . . . giant step toward making America a great country at last! . . . if Lincoln had made the speech it would have ended the Civil War, all wars in fact . . . .

[Savage Beast]

No, I won't define "good". I have no idea whether Hitler thought he was good or not. I think he was a psychopath who considered anything to his advantage to be good and anything to his disadvantage to be bad.

I have not seen evidence of such as this is Obama--though I have definitely seen convincing evidence of the psychopathic personality in some othere political "leaders"--and I think that Obama is probably a good man. I certainly hope that he is.

In fact, I hope that he is not only good but smart--smart enough to be a good leader--and, as President of the United States, he definitely has my support and best wishes.

The point I was making is that, because of a serious and dangerous blackout of information concerning him, the public knows very little about him. And this is dangerous.

Where is the evidence he is a good man?

[Savage Beast]

Well said, Will (post #5). The fawning media propaganda is one of the scariest things of all in today’s dangerous world. These people have and deserve the utter contempt of honest people everywhere and for all time. A truthfully informed electorate is essential to representative government. A truthfully informed public is essential to the assurance of justice, peace, liberty, and prosperity. Those who think they can “improve” on truth are fools, and they are dangerous.

[Savage Beast]

"Where is the evidence he is a good man?"

Well...unfortunately, there isn't much evidence about him at all, which is one of the points I'm making. I'm struggling to think of some... And your question is a good one. What little we know about him suggests that he is probably benevolent--meaning good intentions--and--of course--we all know that good intentions pave...uh...the...uh...Road to...uh...Hell...and...uh...

I think I'm making an assumption--always a dangerous thing to do--that most people are basically good...and that, until they give reason to think otherwise, I assume that they are good and benevolent...and I assume this about Obama.

However--as I said to begin with--and as your question exposes-- We know almost nothing about this man, and for someone about whom we know so little to be elected to so powerful a position is not only scary but dangerous.

Nonetheless, I will support him wholeheartedly unless or until he gives me reason to do otherwise.

If he is smart enough and wise enough, he could become a good President.

I hope that he is, and I hope that he will.

Unfortunately--I think the answer to your question is this: I don't have any.

[roses of sharon]

A smart and wise man would not/could not have spent the last 20 years funding and attending an anti-American, racist “church”, with the leader of that church being his admitted mentor.

In addition to his longtime friendship with Weather-underground terrorists, I would say the evidence we know is contrary to him being a “good” man.

In any way, shape, or form.

[Savage Beast]

Uh...yeah...I think you’re right, Rose.

Did you say Weather Underground?!

Officer Down Memorial Page

Who is protecting Mr. and Mrs. Ayers? The academe employees? MSM employees?

Will President Obama fire the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California? In 2003 the U.S. Attorney started investigating the murder of McDonnell. Will President Obama order his DoJ (and I do mean his DoJ) to drop all investigations of Weather Underground-related police officers murders?
