Former MSNBC Host Tucker Carlson: 'The Press Love Obama'

One of the major criticisms in the 2008 presidential election cycle has been about the media bias in favor of liberal Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. Former MSNBC show host Tucker Carlson, now the senior campaign correspondent for the network admitted the criticism is valid.

Carlson, who has access behind the scenes in the news, compared the media’s affection for the Illinois senator to “the kind of love you have to be a ninth-grade boy to understand.”

“If you think about the psychology of this – I think it’s interesting, Carlson said in an interview with Carol Joynt. “In the last 14 contests, those have all taken place since we knew in the press and announced pretty vocally – since we in the press love Obama, we’re quivering with our love for him – since we announced he was the nominee … it’s not conventional love, it’s the kind of love you have to be a ninth-grade boy to understand.”

Complete and total abdication of their responsibility. Tucker and others should quit pointing out the obvious and condemn the media in the strongest and clearest terms. The new open brazen activism of the press signals that they are the real enemy. Open warfare should be declared. Object in the shrillest of tones. They must be hounded to do their damn job. The media will be responsible for all the malum resulting from NObama’s faux success manufactured out of whole cloth by the ignorant and evil comprising our media. Setting back progress in race relations for a generation, the first affirmative action presidential candidate.

What a bamboozler! Loves to use big words, and sometimes properly. Look at the SUV food 72` comment-”whether you live in the dessert or tundra.” say what? I rant, but I really loath corrupt commie pols.

Jeff?

What you said:

To them, regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol.

Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...

Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.
Those wild eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the garbage they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.
You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.
Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black.
Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.
The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lenin for the dupes he got to support him.
Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of...

And the rest of it?

You're right.

America can survive a corrupt, even criminal ( see Mr. Bill, N' Hill... ) President...

What we can't survive is a corrupt electorate...

God help us.

Back to my hole in the swamp...

so much for keeping ‘religion’ out of politics. If those pictures are not of people practicing a religion, I need to get my eyes checked.

This is just plain scary how freaked out these people are. They just have no idea how far off the cliff they’ve walked. They are acting like some kind of ‘End Times’ ministry waiting for Jesus to show up and drive them away in his Escalade.

Yes, it is, neighbor.

I've tried to show people the pictures of Obama's supporters at rallies, because they are so frightening- and their votes count as much as yours, or mine.

"Well, why not? he's the next President of the United States. Half the people here seem to be fine with that and have no plans to stop it from happening,..."

Yes, they are another form of what Lenin referred to as "useful idiots". These particular folks excuse themselves by claiming dedication to their ideological beliefs. Their willingness to sacrifice perhaps their very lives for this principle would be admired where it not for the likelihood they would also be sacrificing the rest of us along with themselves.

What they are doing they believe shows strength of character. It does not. It more exhibits a petulance and behavior of a child denied his favorite toy

“Hello my fellow Americans... My name is Barack Obama, and I was a Senator for 143 days before I announced my intention to run for potus, and began my campaign thusly. Some of you might say that 143 days as a Senator on the national political scene isn’t enough time for me to gain all the experience I might need to be competent enough to hold such an important position in this government. Well, it might not be enough time for any of you mere mortals, but dammit, it was enough time for me, because I’m Barack Hussien Muhammed Obama Yo-mama, and I’m just THAT DARN GOOD! I AM, THAT I AM. Bow down, all ye that hear my soothing voice. I command thee. You shall be my people, and I will be your God. My will be done...”
