They keep the hate coming, don't they?

The attacks are getting increasingly bizarre, too. This so-called journalist is psychoanalyzing an entire community from several thousands miles away, all on the basis of an encyclopedia entry. How in the world does that make sense to anyone but the person writing it?

Yes they keep it coming all the while failing to attack McCain effectively. They must have the Apple commercial guy running their campaign because they just put out a highly ineffective and fairly stupid add hitting McCain on not using computers and tying him to the “80s”. Oh my!

You’re going to make this easier than we thought.

When I lived in Juneau in 81, they were talking about moving the capitol to Willow. That didn’t happen either, so I guess there’s more than one angry town, eh?

See, now I would have thought they were bitter, more than angry!

Or maybe this guy is just trying to show he doesn't get his talking points from Obama!

What a knucklehead - and sickening excuse for journalism.

Don’t you know that all of us small town folk across the country are angry and clinging to guns and religion?

There was another Courant hit piece and subsequent thread here on FR earlier this week and I stated I stopped my subscription when they piled on the hate with W back in 2000. I still had my newspaper box in my yard and vowed to remove it in a post on that thread.

Just to let you all know, we had a removal ceremony this week. I’d post a picture but I’m too illiterate (according to Obama) to figure it out.

The Courant is not even worth lining a puppy crate. Probably give it a rash.

Cheers!

Old Media has lost control and are now being very open about their true agendas and attitudes. Very reckless. I think a lot of people who used to accept everything they said as true are finally starting to sit up and notice. Maybe.

LMAO!

I did a quick comparison of Wasilla with Hartford:

http://www.city-data.com/city/Wasilla-Alaska.html

http://www.city-data.com/city/Hartford-Connecticut.html

A couple notables:

Hartford: Estimated median household income in 2005: $26,032
Wasilla: Estimated median household income in 2005: $47,900

For population 25 years and over in Hartford
High school or higher: 60.8%
Bachelor’s degree or higher: 12.4%
Graduate or professional degree: 5.2%
Unemployed: 15.9%

For population 25 years and over in Wasilla
High school or higher: 88.8%
Bachelor’s degree or higher: 12.7%
Graduate or professional degree: 5.5%
Unemployed: 11.2%

From 2001-2005 there were 136 Murders in Hartford.
Over the same period in Wasilla there was ONE.

Thorson has been punked. Hartford is a s***hole and Wasilla looks like paradise!

These liberal folks are funny. Angry at Wasilla for not getting with their program, they accuse Wasilla of being “angry”.

Wasilla, Alaska responds to Robert Thorson;

"Who?"

Editors note. kb2614 is not acutually from Wasilla or Alaska. He lives in Northern Virginia. He figures if the media can make up crap, so can he. He also can't seem to stop referring to himself in the third person. HELP!!! :-)

If you compared any city that enjoys the blessings of liberalism with any conservative city, you’d probably get the same results.

Indeed! And Thorson also crows in his pathetic bio about how tenure protects him from “political and collegial revenge” - he’s as paranoid as Olbermann! LMAO!!!

Scorched Earth reporting - the media is losing it.
