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.”

I hope no one is shocked the media is in love with Barack Obama similar to what a ninth-grade boy has for the head cheerleader of the varsity squad.

Ninth grade boy is probably about the most accurate description of today’s press as I have ever heard. What a bunch of idiots!

Of course they do, and niether they, or Obama's ardent followers are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth. 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.

Finally, note this comparison:


A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Is it true Chris Matthews was seen buying himself the new Obama dildo and a gallon of KY?

He said he gets a thrill down his leg when he sees Obama.

How about a lottery. Assuming Obama gets elected, how many days (after 1/20/09) will it take before Obama pardons Tony Rezko?

There was a point that even some conservative pundits fell in love with Obama. Check out what Rich Lowry of the National Review had to say a few months ago:

"You're almost not an American if you don't feel stirred by what his victory would represent symbolically. Here's a guy who 50 years ago couldn't have gone in certain restrooms and motels."

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, So get in behind the media freepers and pucker up.

Because he was Black, or because he's a Stalinist ?

Give it time, the RNC will come up with something that will involve Obama, restrooms and motels to really illustrate how the times have changed if you get my drift....lol

Yep, including the GOP.

Oh, well...they don’t need or want my vote, evidently.

So the old media darling is being replaced by the next new thing.
