SF Chron: McCain Voters Racists and Easily Fooled

The San Francisco Chronicle published an article on September 7 masterful for its underhanded back slapping of John McCain, Sarah Palin and anyone who would vote for them all while pretending to say how successful the McCain/Palin ticket is in garnering support since the end of the GOP Convention. Nearly every "positive" thing said about Republicans and anyone who would vote for McCain was framed as a negative and the way this article states its case proves as one of the most perfectly sly pieces of pro-Democrat propaganda I've seen in a long time. It's so good that you don't even realize your being manipulated until you sit back and think about the piece as a whole.

In this story by Chronicle writer Carolyn Lochhead, the headline properly elicits curiosity enough to draw the reader in: "Palin may woo blue-collar voters from Obama" it reads intriguingly. But think about this header. The headline assumes from the start that "blue-collar voters" are Obama's to lose, that McCain doesn't have any to start with but has to "woo" Obama's. Negative strike against McCain number one. There are many more to come

So, how do we start an article about how John McCain will woo, or is wooing blue-collar voters? Do we start it by saying what McCain does that appeals to blue-collar voters? No, we start by quoting Democrats saying that McCain fails to appeal to blue-collar voters and that he is just like Bush. In a story that at first seems to be about John McCain's success the very first paragraph of the story is anti-John McCain. Strike number two....

Oh, sure, to a liberal all conservatives are Nazis!

Actually the truth is the reverse... most of the One's downscale white voters can't stand him. His voters are blacks, affluent women and well educated white male liberals.

The exegesis is not worth the effort.

[darkwing104]

Just another bunch of latte sipping elitists. They are too smart to be useful..

[wastedyears]

Well-educated while male Liberals, meaning those that went to Ivy League schools?

If there has EVER BEEN a group of voters that not only are FOOLED, but allow themselves to be fooled in order to FEEL GOOD, it is the MINDLESS LIBERALS.

Major dupes. Now, pass the Kool-Aid bucket, Mr. Jones....

Look at the bright side. They can’t call us “sexists” anymore.

From the article...

"These are folks that may have a problem with Obama," said Gerald Austin, a Democratic strategist who worked for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. "They may say it's his experience, but we know it's because of his race."

That's a keeper, right there.

The demos are the ones that were fooled. They nominated the “Milli Vanilli” of politics. They guy gives a great speech but his horrible when he has to answer the most basic questions.

Like the Milli Vanilli, I believe a lot of demos are wanting a refund.

bullshit, my neice is mixed race and I love her

[Neoliberalnot]

The entire basis of the obama campaign is that if you don’t vote for hussein you are racist and probably support the military pursuit of mass-murdering muslims. Oh, and since this is from the Chronicle, you are probably a homophobe too.

[crymeariver]

You forgot the Jewish vote...most are more liberal than they are Jewish. I’ve never understood this.

[goldstategop]

And he just doesn't connect to working folks. Don't ask me why. Its the key Democratic voting bracket and if he was leading among them, he would have already closed the deal in this election.

McCain Voters Readers Who Believe the SF Chron are Racists and Easily Fooled

and blah, blah, blah.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Actually, I found it very interesting. I wouldn't have given the Chron article that much thought myself, and his analysis pointed out several things I would have missed. Which I'll look for in the future.

Warner's articles are always worth reading.

About the only option Hussein’s journalists have now is to declare all non-supporters as racists and homophobes.

I must admit that I don't hang out with blacks, but then I don't hang out with anyone who is unable to assimilate into the United States period.

As far as being easily fooled? I have, at times, been gullible.

For instance I had thought that that P diddy rapper dude had a brain.

I was wrong.
