The media has gone off the deep end. I was just watching a panel discussion on C-Span with Pat Buchanan and four or five liberals.
Carol Simpson of ABC had a map of states that sanctioned slavery and declared that the map looks like the Red/blue map and seemed to think she was onto something big ("The states that approved of slavery just happen to be the same states that voted to re-elect Bush.")
These journalists, with the exception of PB, were pretty much calling the majority of the electorate stupid and consoling each other with their idea that history shows that every second terms presidency is catastrophic ("There there. It'll be all right. The country will suffer greatly with a second Bush term.")
Carol Simpson said, with an air of superiority, "Only five percent of Americans buy books."
These people have lost their ever-loving minds.
Carole Simpson has always struck me as an insufferable, elitist snobdoll anyway--what's with that "e" at the end of her name? Such pretension.
TV is the reason people buy fewer books. How do you make a living Caroleee? Oh, on TV. Stupid whore.
As I mentioned on earlier threads, virtually every poll for months leading up to the election had Bush ahead nationally by 2-3 points, and in both Florida and Ohio by similar margins. Now, if Kerry had been ahead nationally, and was ahead in Florida and Ohio, then maybe you might have the basis for at least a look into all this. But my God, this is ridiculous.
Carol Simpson said, with an air of superiority, "Only five percent of Americans buy books."
Simpson was almost out of control.....she was just dripping with venom.
Another highlight was the 75 year old woman that was bitterly complaining about losing her reproductive rights. LOL! It looked like the entire audience was made up of liberals.
Hmmmm----- And who were the 5 percent?? Seems to me that most of the books on the best-seller list lately, have been written by conservatives and BOUGHT by conservatives. Sure there was a Hill and a Bill book, but the majority were hard hitting, informative books, not self-promotions.
Ms. Simpson hasn't heard of libraries?
