Vanity: Media IGNORING Obama/Iraq story!

Posted on 09/15/2008 10:49:14 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

This is so frustrating!

Why is the Media/New Media completely ignoring The Obama/Iraq troop withdrawl story?

Barely a 30 second mention from Foxnews. I haven't seen Rush say anything about it either.

McCain should be getting an ad ready! Fight! Fight! Fight! Go! Go! Go!

If Obama violated the Logan Act, then so did Nancy Pelosi. I hope I am wrong, but this story will die soon, unfortunately.

The thought of Obama being led away in handcuffs is too titillating to entertain. But it would be worse for us if Hillary took his place.

Can anyone explain what the Logan Act is?

An organization or person who falsely represents, without authorization from the executive branch, of the United States government by conducting foreign negotiations or relations.

How does it get enforced?

The Justice Department?

This would be a qood question for ZeroBama in the debates. Can you explain The Logan Act and why it is important?

“That would require them to get out of the Palin’s trashcans and dirty clothes hampers.”

True enough! :-)

I’m hoping that the MSM, after getting correctly trashed for the abuse of Palin, will finally have to start being tougher on Obama. Which means they won’t be able to let this story go.

I know... But I can HOPE!

I am not waiting for the media. I sent the information about this to my congressman and asked them if this was a violation of the Logan Act.

Is that a rhetorical question, or do you really not know?

It doesn’t matter. The news media will NEVER cover any story that reflects badly on The One. At the most, they will give it a brief mention, in a corner of the news. Then, they will marginalize it by reporting it only in the context of negative Republican campaigning. Then, they will never mention it again, because they have so many other important stories to cover, such as how Sarah Palin once left her son’s pet hamster without enough food during an overnight hunting trip.

“Hannity might pick the story up.”

So far, he hasn’t. Pushing the story about Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae and how Dem Cuomo set up his buddies for sweetheart deals. Obama, by the way, received the most benefit (except for one higher) from these unethical deals. It’s a big story, too.

If the Iraq story is true, though, it’ll be HUGH - SERIES-LY! The mantra of the left is to end the war, and if it turns out Obama is trying to prolong it — not good for their side.

Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

Who is responsible to bring charges against someone violating the Logan Act? Justice department? Congress?
