Media in the tank for Obama [On Obama's and the press giving him pass even on anti-Semite pals]
Toledoblade.com ^ | 1 Nov 08 | Jack Kelley

The media haven't done enough to tell us who Barack Obama really is. "After all this time with him, I still can't say with certainty who he is," wrote Peter Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday about Mr. Obama, with whom he's spent roughly 18 hours a day for most of this campaign.

[On Obama’s and the press giving him pass even on anti
semite pals]

The MSM loves Obama enough, they wish to maintain
“invincible ignorance” about Obama.

I almost couldn’t believe the Tom Brokaw interview on Charlie Rose
from Thursday night when I heard excerpts on Rush’s show yesterday (10-31-08).

Here’s reply #34 from the above link:

Debbie Schlussel’s is writing about a children’s dance group, that has the described choreography in its performance. That it is the very same group that preformed at the dinner for Obama-Khalidi Dinner.

Excert:

The Milwaukee-based Muslim kids dancing troupe purports to perform the debka, a Middle-Eastern step-dance. But this group, made up of mostly Palestinian Muslims and under the auspices of the Milwaukee Muslim American Society does far more in its “performance.” And it’s frightening.

In June 2004, I went undercover and attended a Dearborn fundraising dinner for Islamic Relief, the Muslim Brotherhood charity that is a front for HAMAS and Al-Qaeda. The event was MC’ed by Rayed Tayeh, who orchestrated the Starbucks Coffee boycott and who is believed to be a HAMAS operative.

Sanabel AlQuds performed to songs calling for martyrdom to “get back Palestine.” The kids were young boys, some of them appearing to be no older than seven years old.

But they didn’t just dance the debkah.

Suddenly the Sanabel AlQuds dancers pulled out fake swords and rifles and adorned three of their troupe respectively with an American, Isreaeli, and British flag. The others pretended to behead and/or shoot the boys wearing the flags. Then they put red scarves over the three boys heads, signifying blood and no head. Then, the flags were taken off, thrown to the ground, and trampled on by this young group of Milwaukee dancers.

This was on the Sunday that U.S. contractor Paul Johnson was found beheaded in Saudi Arabia and not long after Nicholas Berg and several other westerners were found beheaded in Iraq.

Once I saw this “performance” I realized why there were signs all over saying, “No video equipment or cameras allowed.”

The easiest way to combat all this doubt is for 0bama to ‘spread a little sunshine’. Does he have a ‘working relationship’ with any centrists? Not that I have been able to discover.
Apparently, 0bama’s campaign is assuring alot of centrists that he’s one of them. But there is no actually evidence to back any of that up.
There’s a familiar pattern here and his silence confirms our beliefs. All the more reason to ramp up the ‘resistance’.

A real American would have at least walked out in disgust.

GGG, please check this out - the story about the children who did the “beheading” dance on the LA Times tape in in this thread. It might need it’s own post. Please check it out. Thanks.

What’s most shocking about this article is the paper in which it was published. For those of you that don’t know, The Toledo Blade makes NYT read like National Review. The Blade is THE liberal rags of liberal rags.

It’s stunning this was printed.

You think they might have enough professional pride to at least go through the motions of doing their job. Journalism is the most contemptible profession in the world: Presstitution.

The Dallas Morning News is a liberal rag that has been pro-Obama all year, or at least since he got the nomination.

They’ve printed slanted AP stories, used the tactic of headlines that are slanted when the story is not that slanted (knowing lots of people just glance at headlines)... all the usual liberal rag stuff.

However, they did ... as they often do ... endorse McCain a few days ago. (they often endorse the Republican as a sop to their mostly conservative readership after trashing him/her all year)

Immeditely, the DMN (along with the Washington Times and the NY Post) was kicked off the bus, if not thrown under it.

I scoured the DMN yesterday for a mention of this and there was none.

Obama people are too stupid to know that the DMN is their friend.

Hope the News learned a lesson, but probably not.

I never read the paper. I do read this columnist who is a very solid conservative.

If McCain had just one tenth of the skeletons Obama has in his closet, they would have been frontpage, above the fold news for the last eight months. But Obama? nary a peep from Big Media. No surprise, but this is the worst I’ve witnessed in forty years of paying attention to prez campaigns.
