Has anyone here ever seen the media so blatantly behind and rooting for one candidate? Must be white guilt or something. Oh, and the notion that "the anger of working-class whites over affirmative action and welfare formed the Reagan coalition." is a crock of you-know-what, as anyone that was involved in GOP politics in the 80's will gladly tell you. I'm starting to think Rush was right to stir this pot.

They’re just trying to show how “color-blind” they are by admitting to hardcore racism. Typical.

At an election-watch panel Thursday morning organized by the American Enterprise Institute, a questioner using journalistic shorthand asked if the uproar over Reverend Wright "has legs."

Like Marlene Dietrich, it does.

"Maybe, just maybe, the cable critics and conservative pundits are talking to themselves."

Dream on. Cable news is so rating driven they don't stay with any story more that a couple nights unless it's pushing the rating needle into the red zone.

The only time I’ve seen anything like the way the MSM is pushing Obama is JFK in 1960. The big three nets of the day so hated Nixon they turned Kennedy, a womanizing drug addict, into prince charming. His wife became a brunette Marlyn Monroe.

But it wasn’t close to what’s going on now. The MSM have become out-and-out cheerleaders.

The youtube deal was a farce. Obviously “obamaites” were pushing the video, and making numerous comments, over and over, repeating themselves and what was suspect, all the comments were positive. I tried to leave a “negative” comment and it wasn’t published. Even youtube finally figured it out and took it (the particular video that was being manipulated to the top of the page) and pulled it. And judging a speech by it’s youtube appeal is ridiculous. Often the crazier videos make it to the top and get the most hits, i.e. “just leave Britney alone” weepfest by the overtly gay video blogger.

After she gets the nomination, she’s next.

Has anyone noticed that Wright is always referred to as “former pastor” instead of “spiritual adviser” anymore?

Yoohoo, Eleanor. Maybe you didn't get the memo, but you TV yakemups aren't the only game in town, anymore.

"the anger of working-class whites over affirmative action and welfare formed the Reagan coalition."

And all this time I thought that the anger over this white idiot forged the Reagan coalition.

We'll know come November. But I think that this kind of voting trivializes and distorts the process. And if somehow Hillary gets elected President, we'll have those 100,000 Republicans and Rush Limbaugh to thank.

Well, Eleanor has been a wholely-owned subsidiary of the DNC for a long time. She hasn't ever resembled an objective journalist and would likely have been willing to be Bill Clinton's Lewinsky if she were not already way too old and too unexciting for him.

If Obama's candidacy implodes,

Eleanor is not as dumb as many of liberal talking heads, here, she clearly entertains the possibility that Hillary may still win. In finance such a position is called a hedge. In her femi-Nazi heart Clift still probably would rather have Hillary win, but she would rather ride the MSM Obama media bandwagon, rather than risk the censure by race card playing Democrats who publicly stoned her femi-Nazi sister Geraldine Ferraro for siding with Hillary and giving the political reality of why she did.

The news late in the week that low-level contract employees at the State Department had been rifling through Obama's passport file gave the cable noise machine something else to obsess about

Heh. It's more than "low-level contract employees" at State. According to Capitol Hill Blue, "department (of State) officials are investigating whether she (Mata Hari, I mean Maura Harty) furnished information to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign."

The Republicans made John Kerry French; imagine what they can do with Obama.

Jean-Fraude made himself French.

Oh, and the cable folks have told us why they won't shut up about Jeremiahgate; the ratings go off the charts whenever they do a segment on it.

Honestly - I finf the anti-american stuff even more disturbing the racist crap.

I mean come on - shouldn’t the President be one of the most patirotic Americans in the county?

The Obama clearly doesn;t love America. Just listen to his ridiculous rationale for not wearing a flag pin. Give me a break. Even a hack Lib pol will put on the pin. You gotta really hate this country to refuse that when you’re in the political sphere. Add to that his wife and their total lack of gratitute for their affirmative action education and what you’ve got is not a “President” but a “community activist”

cable-news noise machine doesn't easily let go of something so juicy as the anti-American rhetoric served up by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Wonder of wonders, Clift admits Wright spews anti-American sentiments. Hell of an admission for Ms. Kneepads-for-a-face.

Michelle Obama giving a speech on C-Span a week or so ago in which she told the audience with great enthusiasm that Baracky grew up in Indonesia and has relatives in Nigeria. "Isn't it wonderful to think that someone who spent his boyhood in other countries and understands them might become president?"

One wonders how they can so blatantly distort the fact that Obama grew up overseas and hasn't a clue what America is like for those of us who grew up here. YOu know, Americans. Wish some media person would pick up on that and play it over and over. It was really shocking.

I am mad as hell because I did not know that the black community hated whitey so much! Everything out of the left is evil and tainted with lies.

Clinton,Gore
Yes we have seen, difference now is the internet is now much more mainstream.

It is easier to expose the hypocrisy, people are more informed.
Now all we have to do is get people to be honest. Logic not emotion.
Shed the shackles of govt education.
I say this because, I find that between MSM reporting and my education I still occasionally make snap judgement based on story as reported by MSM.
On further reflection I see the spin the MSM is trying to advance.

Out of school for 25 yrs and still for the spin, I should be ashamed.
But I am not because I have recovered my ability to see logic.

hopefully others will also.
