Yes the inevitable refuge of the leftist media whores is to claim that the election results are suspect on various grounds, including allegations of ballot box stuffin.

Tis is so 2000, my guess is that elections in Basra are probably fairer than those in Chicago.

I think it's pretty obvious who between us has to resort to ad hominem and childish personal attacks.

You might want to indicate where and when your next public address is so that we might benefit from your wisdom and professional insight.

Can we buy tickets in advance or will be have to deal with scalpers?

Yeah the Monday hightlight is almost always a lefty, although they did profile the local GOP guy a month or so ago, but my feeling is that since he is a rising star locally they really wanted to out him and call him to the attention of the lefty goon squad.

I fired my newspaper over twenty years ago. I haven't watched ABCNNBCBS for even longer than that.

Friends are amazed at how much better informed about the world and world events than they are, and often say so.

Your choice of terminology such as "out him" speaks volumes about your qualifications to speak authoritatively on this or other topics.

I subscribe to the Valley Times and have written them several times regarding their bias. I noticed Sunday's paper with the mixed message headlines and it was what I expected. Here you have a historic day and they report it in the same breath as they advocate and hope for civil war. The only reason why I subscribe to the paper is because I get it for $24/year which includes the Sunday paper. But do I use it as my sole source for ascertaining what is going on in the world? - oh hell no. I go on line and go to various internet sources. The paper is used more for entertainment, advertising, sports and for my dogs.

Better watch it with this Contra Costa "brother",Brother.
He wants you to march on the editors and accuse them of "lying" in a face-to-face showdown.
You may have to actually hit him with your purse.*



*Like he's planning to do. Tee Hee!

I was not aware that "out him" appeared on the list of amateurish & restricted Phrases, thanks for correcting me.

Is your book still number 1 at Amazon?

Correct, now that the Shias have decided to participate the media becomes breathless at the possibility of civil war, go figure.

lol...yes, accepted international voting standards were always applied heavily, during Saddam's "one candidate/100% vote counts."

The agenda is the controlling factor, not objectivity or a fair rendering of reality.

But why suffer "amateur" speculation on what really is happening by comparing notes with "local yokels" or "gay caberelleros"?
There is an embarrassment of informed forums where these subjects are intelligently dealt with.

I fully agree. My comment to WOSG was pointing to the absurdity of liberal media/icons bemoaning possible vote tampering in a free election- when just a few years ago- Iraqi's had only one candidate, who amazingly captured 100% of the votes, everytime. This one defining fact has still gone unmentioned, as a comparative perspective by all MSM and their fellow travelers. These bastards of humanity can try to confuse and divide all they like- the obvious Truth will not be impeached.

"Unless and untill we hold the media accountable, nothing will ever change."

I held this paper accountable years ago by cancelling my subscription. They still call me and I get to hold them accountable all over again!

At some point I ended up on their mailing list and took to stuffing their self-addressed envelopes with trash and mailing it back to them so that they would have to pick up the postage.

Unless and or until you offer substantive criticism most here will have to assume that your trolish behavior is the result of unresolved childhood conflicts possibly arising from improper potty training and associated issues.

I think that Bozell's last week released study of media bias by the networks confirms your general statement.

I guess that eventually even the dunderheads in circulation figured that out eventually.

"I guess that eventually even the dunderheads in circulation figured that out eventually."

I don't know. I made sure there was no return addresses on the stuff I sent back.

I have since started doing the stuffed envelope returns to any leftie group that senda me junk mail. It's an easy way to hit the enemy in the pocket book and I seem to be on a mailing list that circulates among enviro-wacko groups like the Sierra Club.

My greatest coup happened last week - the New Youk Times sent my wife a solicitation and I stuffed it full, dropped several pennies in the envelope and wrote, "I hope you go out of business" on a slip of paper inside.

I really have too much time on my hands.
