I keep asking why the media is so intent on covering for Obama. Obviously it is not for lack of information. Negative information about BHO is everywhere. Footage of BHO campaigning for Odinga played as much as the Clinton Bosnia footage makes sense. It brings to the fore real questions of judgement. Much more so than Clinton's Bosnia comment. A realistic investigation and timeline of the Obama/Ayres relationships would also seem in order. Neither of these examples need be unfair. Just truthful. It would not take much for the main stream press to look into these items. And yet, only individuals and to a degree Fox has done any homework on Obama.
The evidence that the MSM has now completely lurched into a propaganda machine is proven by 3 cases. John Edwards known affair was kept quiet until the primaries were over. This bizarre omission is telling. What was the purpose? The media loves an affair. (One could argue that the Clinton/Monica "crisis" was overblown to keep him in check.) Secondly, Obama has lied repeatedly on the stump...Selma, and Ayres comes to mind. Yet, Clinton's "Bosnia" moment was beaten into the ground. Obama's lies? Not covered. Scores of reporters where sent to Alaska after Palin was chosen - almost none have been sent to Chicago. Why?
The media is molding our perceptions of Obama - but to what end? Is it simply a blind spot? I doubt it.
Is it true adulation of the man? Some clearly is.
The best answer I can come up with is that the media wants a President it can control and then destroy. Crazy conspiracy theory? Maybe. But the bias is overwhelming. Anyone not a Obamabot can see this. If someone has a better idea I'd like to hear it.
The installation of Obama is moving along. The media malfeasance is making this process much easier for him. I don't fear creeping socialism much. It's been creeping along in the U.S. for a long while. Nor do I fear Obama being a corrupt Wall Street stooge. If this is the case we'll just have more of the same. What I do fear is a man with so many secrets having to serve many masters. Who will be in charge? Soros? Ayres? MSNBC? The Prime Minster of Kenya?
CONTROL is the only logical reason that I can see for the MSM to be continuing its glowing coverage of Obama. Even if just the ACORN story breaks wide after Obama's election - he is delegitimized. A pardon of Rezko has the same effect. It appears Seymour Hersh was a confirmation source for the "Whitey tape" at the very least being known to exist. Hersh is not exactly a right wing kook. yet - no MSM outlet has looked into it. That tape - shown on 1/21/09 would enrage the electorate and hobble a President Obama.
So why is the media salivating for an Obama Administration?Labels: ACORN, alice palmer, anti-Obama, aryres, ass kissing, Dorhn, Hypocrites for Obama, media bias
A reader sent my this tidbit from Down Under: Bill Clinton likes Palin's instincts. The President was referring to her political instincts noting that she was an effective politician and should not be underestimated. He spoke about the sitting, elected, Governor of Alaska with respect - which is ,not doubt, why he is so hated by PODS. Being adult is so difficult for them.
An odd dynamic is at play in my attitude toward Palin. The more I find out about her politics, the less I like her politics. The more I find out about her, the more I like her. I've said this a few times this week and one would have thought I said "I enjoy eating the livers of orphans." It seems unremarkable to me that one can appreciate or like someone that one does not agree with. But on the Obama Left this yet another impossible thought problem to solve. On most social issues I agree with Harry Reid - in action I find him to be a cowardly hack - and this leads me to dislike him. Both Pelosi and Reid were elevated in 2006 with a mandate to confront Bush and deal with the war. Both flinched. After running for Governor on a platform that included a repeal of same sex benefits - Palin, once elected, was told a ban was unconstitutional - whether she liked it or not. She governed from the middle and vetoed the bill. In other words, her overarching conservatism trumped whatever her personal belief may have been. That trait is admirable in an executive. For the record: It mirrors what Howard Dean did in Vermont with civil unions. The courts told him a ban would violate the law - and he went with legalizing civil unions.
I know it seems arcane at Brentwood cocktail parties and college drum circles to judge a person by their ACTIONS - not by their website - but I will persist in this little piece of nostalgia. I won't "hate" Palin until I see reason to "hate" her. As I've said, and now Clinton has said, Palin running for VP is a fascinating turn of events and she is a force to be reckoned with.
Obama is not trustworthy. The evidence is in and is overwhelming. What Obama says and what Obama does are at odds on nearly every major issue. From Iraq, to Nafta, to Public Financing, to FISA he has demonstrated an utter lack of integrity.
Maybe I should say a gutter lack of integrity.Labels: anti-Obama, bad judgement, changey hopey, clueless, fraud, Hypocrites for Obama
I'll hand it to the PODS -when they get their Talking Points from Mount Olympus they memorize them and MARCH. They are like worker ants. Someone got the word out that "Palin didn't write her speech."
Ah, the irony. Some part of the reptilian POD brain does not compute that normal people still think. They don't so they assume no one else does. They drank the Kool-Aid - if only those naysayers would take a sip all would be well - seems to be their core conviction.
This is too easy.
1. No politician on that level writes their own words. Obama never has. 2. Both Obama and Biden are proven plagiarists. Attacking Palin for having a speech writer is so deeply cynical it boggles the mind. But it is always Opposite Day in Obamaland. And it is only those who are in charge in Obamaland who are being deeply cynical. The worker ants spreading the nonsense simply believe, which is scarier. They don't question this fart of an Obama Talking Point because they can't. Too much is at stake for them. The mirage can't be broken. I heard a POD on the radio today going on with this line of attack. When the host interjected that Obama did not write his speeches either - she said - without skipping a beat - "We aren't talking about Obama, we're talking about Palin." The disconnect in her "thinking" was hilarious. McCain/Palin are not to be trusted. Obama/Biden do the same thing but that's okay...cuz...why??? I am an Obama Worker Ant. I must Protect and Defend Dear Leader at all times. I must Worship Him and Send Him Money and Girls. Do not Question. Do not Think.
Good lord. THESE people might elect a President.
Obama's true base is that part of the population most skilled in the art of cognitive dissonance.
3. Attacking her for having a speech writer is...wait for it...sexism. Pure and Simple. The game here is keep up the meme that Palin is a light weight. A skirt who needs "speech writers" to help her up. This attack on Palin is particularly odious. One thing Palin has seemingly not had is a leg up from a man. This is a self made woman. In her elections to city council, mayor and governor there is no former President giving her a political pedigree. No men behind the scenes grooming her. Feminists who have retained the ability to think in this nightmare of a year should be lauding her accomplishments - and then respectfully disagreeing with her positions on issues.
It is worth remembering that Senator Clinton is one of the few women of note whose statement after the Palin pick took a feminist stance...lauded her accomplishments, congratulated her, and then made clear Clinton did not agree with her politics.
One of the more destructive results of identity politics and "social justice" whining is that, in the end, "gender and racial equality" really means: Equality if you agree with us.
Which is, of course, not equality at all.
I don't agree with Palin on many points. But I know she is gender equality personified.
It is so easy to beat up on the PODS the part of me that enjoys the sport of it almost wants BHO to win - so I can carrying on shooting fish in a barrel a while longer. But I know something the average buffoonish POD still refuses to accept. If Obama wins - the Pods will be dispatched with all deliberate speed.
Besides all the evidence so far indicates that after a little celebration, Obama will be such a mealy mouthed mush pile as President that the Kool-Aid will finally be pissed out and PODS little hearts will break. And they will, no doubt, run off and find a new idol to venerate.
( We aren't leaving Iraq, PODS. Stop being idiots. Obama won't be closing 19 enduring bases in his first term. Both candidates will lower the troop level. That is all. Obama does not have the nerve or nuts to take on the U.S. Military. He won't. Get OVER it. Whatever will Code Pink do when they realize they've been had? Will they cancel all "How to Scream in the Back of Auditoriums" classses? )
Obama does not care about the PODS. He cares about himself. If one drinks enough to get over the terror of it, the entertainment value alone of Larry (Obama), Moe (Pelosi), Curly (Harry Reid) and Shemp (Biden) running D.C. for 2 short years will be worth it.
