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.

Old P.M.S. always a sour socialist no matter who the candidate is.

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

Well, “color blind” means something different to the left.

Just as “diverse” does.

When a school is 99% black & Hispanic, it’s called “most diverse”.

To a leftist, “diverse” means “non-white and non-Western”.

Exactly, just as terrorists are “insurgents” and rampaging Muslims are “youths”.

That’s our media.

"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.

Usually when a prominent figure on the campaign drops out of sight for a period of time, they’re having some “refreshing” done (i.e. botox or plastic surgery).

Get ready. She is seething. I expect we will get to witness the biggest cat fight in history between her and Mrs. Clinton before all is said and done.

The woman who wears the pants in the Clinton family has met her match in the woman who wears the pants in the Obama family. :)
