Republican Voters Aren’t The Only Ones Who Are Mad As Hell

GOP Anger Unleashed At McCain Rallies, filed by Michael D. Shear and Perry Bacon Jr. of WaPo, and reported in CBS News today, makes clear some Republicans have little patience left for the Gentleman Jim approach that McCain took at the Convention.
What this story does not mention, however – and what no mainstream outlet wishes to acknowledge – is that they are not alone in their outrage. There are plenty of Democrats and Independents likewise furious at the egregious media bias, and at the Obama campaign’s ability to dodge any and all legitimate questions about him.
The story reports:
There were shouts of “Nobama” and “Socialist” at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.
“It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there’s a soft spot,” said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.
“We have the good Reverend Wright. We have [the Rev. Michael L.] Pfleger. We have all of these shady characters that have surrounded him,” Harris bellowed. “We have corruption here in Wisconsin and voting across the nation. I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him.”
The crowd of thousands roared its approval.
…
“I’m mad! I’m really mad!” another man said, taking the microphone and refusing to surrender it easily, even when McCain tried to agree with him.“I’m not done. Lemme finish, please,” he said after a standing ovation. “When you have Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to run the country, we have to have our head examined.
“It’s time that you two represent the rest of us. So go get ‘em.”
Interesting that this gentleman brought up Nancy Pelosi. Clearly she, along with Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and others, are playing politics with people’s life savings – and whether the media wants to acknowledge that or not, the voters get it..
The DNC elite wanted the disastrous economy as their “Fall issue” and have been campaigning with it. Her grandstanding last week, lambasting Republicans to make sure the rescue plan vote failed is evidence of this. Meanwhile, as Bill Clinton himself acknowledged, Democrats are the ones who fought against further regulation of Fannie and Freddie and now are loathe to acknowledge their part in this disaster.
Clearly there is plenty of blame to go around. But more than pointing fingers, the American people want a solution. McCain went back to Congress in an attempt to find just that. Obama, on the other hand, said “Congress will call me if they need me.” Typical. No wonder people are furious.
McCain spends most of his time at his rallies and town hall meetings lambasting his rival, often calling him a “co-conspirator” with congressional Democrats in what he argues are the seeds of the financial crisis at mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
“Will you assure us,” one woman asked, “that, as president, you will take immediate action to investigate, prosecute and name the names of the people actually responsible?”
“I will,” McCain answered.
“The same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the same ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing this problem that it is,” he said, raising his voice to be heard over the crowd. “You know their names. You will know more of their names.“
McCain/Palin have as their campaign mantra “Country First,” but they have found themselves ‘at the center of an outpouring of raw emotion rare in a presidential race.’
The crowds that show up for his rallies these days appear to have little appetite for the talk of bipartisan compromise that had been at the heart of his message around the Republican National Convention. During a rally outside a small airport in Mosinee, Wis., on Thursday, McCain said that “it’s time we come together, Democrats and Republicans to work together. That’s my record. I’ll reach across the aisle.”
The crowd stood silent.
Maybe those who stood silent are frustrated because it is apparent the Democratic leadership was not exactly acting in a spirit of bi-partisanship. On the contrary, they used McCain suspending his campaign to return to Congress against him. Here we finally have a rather moderate Republican, by all accounts a decent man working to do the right thing; he can’t get a break in the media and his own party wants him to go nuclear. They see Obama as a disastrous choice for our country, and there is no hope that the media will report fairly. Perhaps since some Republicans have cried wolf about Dem candidates in the past, now that one really deserves to lose the election, they can’t get anyone to pay attention to the truth about him.
I can relate to the frustration, if not the backstory. As a lifelong Democrat, I never thought I’d be faced with such egregious corruption in my own party – trashing the better candidate in favor of a dissembling charlatan. They ignored any evidence against him and kept beating the drum for Hillary to get out.
At the town hall gathering here, McCain praised Harris for his “courage” in speaking his mind. But, heedful of the economic chaos gripping the country, McCain sought to steer away, at least briefly, from attacks on Obama’s character and integrity.
“Yes, I’ll do that,” he said of the request to “take it to” Obama. …“We need to restore hope and trust and confidence in America and have Americans know that our best days are ahead of us. That’s the future and strength and beauty of America.”
I far prefer a positive message myself, and Senator McCain needs to continue to communicate his ideas and policies, but I certainly understand many who wish to first derail the mainstream media’s ceaseless determination to put Barack Obama in the White House.
“I’m not mad, I’m pissed,” said Joan Schmitz, who owns a plumbing company here. She said she was frustrated with polls showing Obama surging, McCain’s performance in a Tuesday night debate, Obama himself, the media, and the liberal group ACORN, which she said was registering voters fraudulently.
Noting Obama’s connections with Ayers, she said that “if it was a Republican, it would be nonstop,” referring to what she said was the media ignoring the controversial acquaintance.
Note how in this story, Ayers is characterized by the writers as a “controversial acquaintance” – this is exactly what I am talking about – Ayers is far more than an “acquaintance” to Senator Obama.
“I can’t stand to look at him, I don’t trust him. I don’t like the circle of friends he keeps, I don’t like his policies,” Schmitz said of Obama. “I’m pissed off by it. I’m beyond mad. How is he climbing up in the polls?”
Well, perhaps because organizations like Gallup don’t admit that 80% of the people they call are hanging up on them this year. A Gallup pollster being interviewed on Michael Medved’s radio show the other day said that usually, the number of hang-ups hovers around 40%-50%, so there are a lot of people not willing to talk about their voting preferences. This begs the question – who is left? Who are the Gallup people, for example, actually talking to and are their polls representative of the actual electorate.
The Obama campaign has been playing the race card since January. The media happily played along and now the DNC is openly using it as a campaign strategy. I, and millions like me, who are not guilty of race bias are furious – in fact, apoplectic – at being accused of a horrible sin we are not in the least guilty of. Is it any wonder someone would not want to share their voting preferences with a pollster when to say you do not support Obama is, according to the media, tantamount to saying you are a racist.
Up until now, the press has not been willing to report fairly on much of anything, although investigations into voter fraud by ACORN are growing legs in the mainstream media and some reports are creeping out almost against the will of the MSM:
On the way into the event, the Republican Party of Wisconsin handed out fliers reading “Your Vote Is Being Stolen,” an anti-ACORN leaflet that concluded, “Why is vote fraud allowed? Vote fraud is allowed since it benefits Democrats.”
Well actually, no, I don’t want voter fraud to benefit anyone. Two wrongs don’t make a right. And I sure don’t want voter fraud to benefit the dissembling and endlessly flip-flopping Senator Obama.
The crowd showed equal disdain for the media, fueled by comments from Palin, who encouraged the Republican supporters to take the campaign’s message around the media. “I can’t pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel,” she said. “It’s dangerous territory whenever I suggest the mainstream media isn’t asking all the questions.”
That message was clearly shared among the crowd. Mike Payne, who traveled from Madison, Wis., for the rally, rejected the idea that McCain’s supporters are angry, preferring to use the word “frustrated.”
“It might have something to do with you guys,” he told a reporter.
“It’s not anger at all. It’s frustration. There’s millions of people around the country that think like we do. You guys refuse to acknowledge that, and you insult our intelligence by misreporting the information. You are treating [Obama] like he’s Britney Spears and covering him like he’s Paris Hilton, instead of the next president of the United States, potentially.”
Yep. The celebrity candidate. Hillary supporters were pleading for press fairness since January – also to no avail. We knocked but no one was home. The fact that mainstream media has refused to vet Senator Obama is truly a disgrace. His lies, nefarious associations, and misjudgments, his reneging on vital policy positions would all have sunk any other politician.
Now that more of the facts about him are seeping out, I am sure any Republicans foolish enough to vote for him in the primary in order to stop Hillary may now regret having done so. She is a leader, someone who does put country first and would certainly have been a better choice to steer us out of this mess than anyone else vying to get on the ticket in either party.
McCain advisers dismissed the crowd’s angry tone as an exception and not representative of most of the campaign’s events. And they noted that those gathered seemed most upset by the media’s handling of the contest, and simply wanted McCain to be more aggressive.
But when McCain is more aggressive in pointing out the truth of Obama’s contradictions and associations, the press, typically, rips him a new one. The idiotic Andrea Mitchell was even calling for Governor Palin to be “censured.” Okay. And now the media is also trying to paint voters’ legitimate frustration as ‘wild and out of control’ — further bashing Senator McCain’s supporters. By all accounts, he has attempted to keep a civil tone.
They also noted that many of McCain’s events are attended by liberal protesters, who often yell epithets and hold angry signs as McCain’s bus drives by. And they recalled angry words from Obama at a rally in Las Vegas last month, in which he urged supporters to talk to their friends and neighbors, saying “I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”
So Obama and his supporters can get in our faces and disaffected Democrats and Republicans are just supposed to keep smiling – all the way to him being elected?
Not likely.
For your consideration……

Don’t Believe The Obama Hype
In the weeks leading up to the first primary of 2008 the Dimocratic leadership and the Obama campaign tried to force Hillary out of the race. The people of New Hampshire however gave the first in the nation primary victory to Hillary.
The Obama campaign kept up the drumbeat about “the Math” and how the race was over very early on. But the race was not over. In the end the Dimocratic “Rules” Committee had to drag Obama across the finish line. The Dimocratic leadership intervened and awarded Obama delegates in an election in which he was not even on the ballot - going so far as to strip Hillary of some of her duly elected delegates and bailing out Obama. The Obama Bailout by Party leaders was applauded by Big Media in the same way we have seen Big Media applaud the Wall Street Bailout Bill.
As we wrote, the Wall Street Bailout Bill was a lot of razzle-dazzle that would not solve the nation’s economic crisis nor even come close to addressing the problem. In the same way, we opposed the razzle-dazzle Obama Bailout by the Rules Committee and the Dimocratic leadership.
The Obama campaign and the Chicago thugs did succeed in grabbing the nomination with bluster and aid from Big Media. Now the Obama campaign is trying the old razzle-dazzle again. This time it is to convince the American people that this election is over and those opposed to Obama should just stay home on election day in NOvember. ….
Forget the anecdotes and the Obama Chicago hype, let’s look at the ACTUIAL numbers:
This year, Ohio allowed any citizen not registered to vote to show up, register, and vote on the same day in Sept. 30 to Oct. 6 window. The AP was writing back in August, “If Obama’s campaign were able to tap into college campuses with one-stop voting, it would add thousands of votes to his tally in a state where, in 2004, John Kerry lost to President Bush by only about 118,000 votes, putting Bush over the top in the electoral count.”
Those who were already registered were also permitted to use the early voting window. The expectation was that lots of Ohioans would partake of the opportunity. The Washington Post reported, “The Ohio secretary of state’s office estimates that a quarter of all voters will cast their ballots as absentees or at an early voting location before Election Day, more than twice as many as did so four years ago.” (Obviously, absentee would make up a large chunk of that, but one would figure the early voting window would attact its fair share.)
And the anecdotal evidence was that the Obama campaign was readying the Mother of All Turnout Operations in this state. The Washington Post poll of Ohioans, 40 percent said they had been contacted by the Obama campaign either in person or by phone, an astonishingly high percentage. Bruce Springsteen was doing a concert at Ohio State University to get people out for early voting. Cuba Gooding Jr. was deployed to events in Dayton, Hamilton, Lima and Toledo.
The Obama hype was that before the end of the day on October 6 there would be a groundswell of incense burners overpowering the election sites. The actual result? The actual result with Bruce and Cuba holding events while buses waited to transport the Obama armies to vote immediately? 28, 466 votes. 28,466 votes out of 8.2 million registered voters and any new voters that could be shanghaied into registering and then voting.
The actual number of people, we presume citizens, who registered and voted on the same day (with Bruce and Cuba bussed in for that sole purpose) in the entire state of Ohio was 5,223.
Don’t believe the Obama hype - Obama can’t be trusted by friend nor foe.
Another aspect of this year’s voting which was almost entirely consistent was that Hillary Clinton received the votes of voters who decided on election day and Hillary Clinton received most of the votes of voters who said they were “undecided”. Frankly we think that “undecided” is really a NObama vote - these are people who do not want to be tagged as “racists” so they are keeping their mouths shut.
The hype is to spread fear, suppress voter turnout and create apathy and let Obambi waltz to a victory. We ain’t dancing!
Will anyone hold Obama and ACORN guilty for their dirty work in stealing Hillary’s victory in the primary?
Will we let Obama and ACORD get away of their crime and do it again in the election?
Obama and ACORN has turned the American election to that of an African country (Kenya, probably.)
The word is really getting out there about all the voter fraud. My elderly mom says she saw an interview with someone who said he had been contacted to register to vote 72 times.
Great post - You have stated so clearly my frustration with the MSM - I can’t believe they can live with themselves and profess to be a channel of information to the public. I don’t care who they are reporting on - I just want the truth - be it a Republican or Democrat.
I have to admit, I’m proud of John McCain doing his best to tamp down ugliness from people in his crowds. But let’s keep in mind that one or two angry people who shout nasty things at a political rally are not an indication that mob violence is at hand. McCain shows good judgment and leadership to admonish them to be civil, as well as to try to reassure people that if he loses, it’s not the end of the world. It may seem like it to most of us, but life will go on.
I also trust that the next few weeks will be bringing some heavy stuff down on BO.
This is sure to be an ongoing thing for the next 20+ days. People are getting pissed and angrier. I know I sure am. You are right about McCain handling the situation with ease and grace but that is not what we need. He does not need to validate or correct anyone who says they are afraid that Obama is Arab or Muslim, what he needs to do is to say he understands their frustration and that if Obama released his original birth certificate, complete medical records and college transcripts would this answer the people’s concerns about Obama not being an American.
I’m with you! McCain doesn’t need to get in the gutter with the likes of Obama but he needs to stand up for the American people to call out the ugliness that is going on with the media, the voter fraud and such. What’s wrong with saying “the American people need and want to know the truth!” Vet us if you must, but vet us ALL!” Don’t tell me that won’t have an impact on most Americans if a politician actually say what we all are thinking! Enough already with Obama is a decent man when we know damn well that is not the case. NO decent person would ever have the circle of associates he has. How many race baiting reverend do we have in our lives along with a former unrepentant terrorist, a Sharia loving cousin, a sleazy slum lord friend who buys a lot next door to us, or a preacher who thinks Farrakhan is a great man? Enough with the bullshit already.
i think the one or two in the crowd are obama’s minions sent to drum up the race card.
Exactly.

Check out this new video…The Truth is out there
Yes, the truth is making its way to the media, thanks to FOX. The rest of the media is starting to pick it up now only because they are starting to fall in the ratings. Keep up the good work FOX. Thanks to Sean Hannity, Bill Oreilly and the others at FOX news. They are doing a great service for our country. We will always remember the bias bull from CNN< ABC and other the MSM.
You know what, steve? I am sick of hearing that ammo is coming at Obama shortly. It has been US that have been using ammo on him, not the Mccain Camp. It has been our wonderful Fox who has heard us too. If it was up to the Mccain camp- they would have children dancing while smelling flowers in the streets. Right now, they are thinking of backing off the attacks, and the attacks are working. The heck with those who think that Mccain is too tough….he has to be otherwise our country will be sold to this radical.
It’s the townhall format. Some people with poor judgment are getting ahold of the microphone.
John handled it fine. You just remind the audience that respect is important.
That is where I agree with you. If Mccain does not want another person screaming profanities about Obama, then go get Palin to talk the next 30 minutes on the trail with him- this way he doesn’t have to give the mike to anyone to talk.
While “Off with his head” may be a bit harsh, I have to agree with the guy who yelled that he was mad about the financial crisis, and the need to name names…and how the media is allowing a socialist to take over our country. I am FURIOUS–beyond frustration over the media delivering this dangerous and repugnant man-child to be the most powerful leader in the world.
OT,
Philip Berg in an 11 minute video on Obama’s citizenship issues. He filed the suit.
http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2008/10/who-is-barack-obama.html
why doesn’t Obama show his long form Birth
Certificate and let us all see it. Berg has been on 50 radio shows
stating that all Obama has to is produce the documents he asking for
and he will drop the suit. Seems simple enough to me. I think the
American people have the right to know.
Was Obama born in Kenya and his Mother or Grandmother registered him
in Hawaii? Hawaiian law allows a birth to be registered with just an
affidavit of birth in Hawaii.This could all be cleared up with an
original birth certificate supplied to the press, all the other
candidates have done so. There is also the fact that an Obama advisor
was the CEO (also ex-CIA) of the company that breached passport files
of Obama, Clinton and McCain. With the new story about his birth
certificate it makes us asks what was this guy really doing with the
files. What information was he getting rid of? Maybe a summer trip in
1961 by Obama’s Mother to Kenya.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/22/passport.files/index.html
it is absolutely unconscienable (sp?) that a person could be elected president merely on their say-so that they are a natural born US citizen. un-f-ing-believable. we are no longer citizens of this country; we are subjects of its aristocracy.
this is a good video.
M.Simon-
Good video. I will cross post.
The media coverage of Obama confused me at first. Then it scared me. Now I am angry and scared. Bad combo.
I know Obama would never be where he is without the MSM protecting and promoting him, while never vetting him–all while attacking his opponents.
But the MSM has burned a lot of bridges as well.
I guess there is a cost benefit analysis of it…I can just imagine that they knew they would not get all dems to vote for him, which is why they needed to cheat with caucus and voter fraud, and with the advantage of the msm bias.
P.S.
OT: Is it true that Mike Huckabee said on Fox this morning that he had a very reliable source who told him that this economic crisis is terrorism, an act of economic terrorism? Someone wrote that on another blog.
I have to admit that I’ve been wearing my tin hat with the chin strap fastened while thinking the same thing. Another of Bin Laden’s goals was to destroy the U.S. and global markets…makes one think…
It is an act of terrorism perpetrated by William Ayres, ACORN and a radical leftist fringe peopled by the likes of Farrakhan et al. It has been liberally aided and abetted by Democrats like B. Frank, C. Dodd, M. Waters and others who have been bamboozled into legally abetted ponzi schemes, aka, sub prime mortgages. It is connected to a larger international network peopled by the likes of Auchi, Manzour, Odinga and middle eastern power brokers. Obama is a dupe of this effort and I struggle with the idea that he does not have a clue to wondering if maybe he is deeply involved with Ayers in directing it. But the economic crisis and the election fraud we are witnessing are bringing this country and the world to its knees in a far more effective way than that hit on the twin towers.
I think we did that one all by ourselves…..greed and corruption.
I heard that too….do you remember which blog?
When it comes the financial meltdown, it’s interesting how little discussion there is about how it is affecting the Middle East.

Please read this ‘letter’ from the Chicago DSA newsletter called New Ground. It is from January-February 2005 and seems to be written by a New Party member. Of interesting note is this passage:
What, then, are we progressives supposed to do? We must start again on the laborious task of building an alternative political force, a new party. Not right away, but when objective conditions (depression or losing a war) send the people to the left. That will come, maybe sooner than we think.
Barack Obama has proven ties to this organization starting back in 1995. Damning proof that this beyond left socialist party wants America to ‘lose a war or have a depression’ so that they can push for their socialist agenda.

Ani, great writing. Thank you and it is definitely not just the Republicans that are pissed. I recently changed my party affiliation from Dem to Ind and I am not “frustrated”. I am angry as hell.
When McCain becomes president,there is another problem to attack, not such a big one but important one with an easy solution. The MSM needs to go, they are done! For McCain’s first big press conference he needs to invite the independent bloggers and ignore the press. It is time to even out the playing field and to show the MSM they lost along with Obama.
It’s time for a reality check.
What sort of allegiance to true American values does it suggest when someone asserts that the mainstream media has got to go?
You appear to be voicing an objection to the First Ammendment to the United States Constitution.
Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press do not apply only those we are in agreement with.
If you think liberals are presently motivated, just try screwing around with that fundamental right and see what happens.
We’ve put up with a president we’ve had profound misgivings about for 8 long years. I fail to comprehend the level of irrational anger and outright hatred that’s being generated by the possibility that a majority of Americans may have decided it’s time for a change.
This is only a presidential election. We hold one every 4 years. Every election, some of the voters support the winning candidate and some support the losing candidate. Sometimes time reveals that the majority have chosen wisely. Sometimes time reveals that they haven’t. When they haven’t, there’s always the next election. That’s the way things work in a democracy.
The MSM is now a propaganda machine. There is no real objective journalism that I can find.
I’ve seen all of the same stories and topics covered by FOX on MSNBC and CNN. Ayers, Wright, and Rezko have all been covered. ACORN has been covered. What’s primarily lacking there are the overt anti-Obama polemics.
FOX, on the other hand, plays down anything not reflecting favorably on McCain and Palin. They’ve run endless hours of blatantly anti-Obama stories and documentaries. They’ve contrived lengthy interviews with Palin designed to cast her in a favorable light. FOX is the most biased “news” outlet going, in my opinion. FOX clearly has a conservative agenda.
Objectivity is ultimately the responsibility of the intelligent viewer. Viewers are free to choose what to watch and free to form their own opinions.
That statement alone leaves out most of Oblockhead’s supporters. Objectivity, responsibility, and intelligent are not words that can be associated with Obama supporters if one wishes not to create an oxymoron.
You are wrong about the media. There are stats showing how the msm favored Obama over Hillary and now Obama over McCain.
Obama vs his opponents when it came to magazine covers and positive articles…it’s been heinous.
Fox news reported on Pastor Wright for over a year before it was discussed on other stations. Fox News talked about Ayers and others for well over six months before other stations picked it up.
John Edwards was running for president and having an affair, and possibly a baby. National enquirer broke it. Obviously the liberal media was protecting him, it was an open secret.
The msm IS and has ALWAYS been doing their best to help Obama win. Find out who owns what. They support O.
the media is filtering the news, picking what we should hear and most of time, not doing the background check to verify. Reminds me of the Chinese media outlets during the summer Olympics. You will hear what they want you to hear. Not exactly freedom of anything applies when Americans are being manipulated like we are.
It is impossible to have objectivity when all you are watching is ABC, CNN and MSNBC — these are the all Obama all the time networks.
I cannot tell you how many intelligent people I have spoken to have no idea of Obama’s associations, his policy reversals, missed votes, 130 present votes, 6 ‘wrong’ votes. His contradictory statements on important policy.
Some of these “intelligent people” actually think Obama “voted against the war” — they don’t even know he was not yet elected to he U.S. Senate at that time. He was merely in the IL state legislature at the time of the IWR vote.
A friend of mine in the midwest ran into an Obama supporter and they got into a discussion — when she informed this lady that Obama reversed his position on FISA and several other things she did not know, she said he would no longer be voting for him.
A little education is a powerful thing.
I have never before seen such egregious media bias and protection of any candidate — not even Bush 2.
your so full of bull,thats why the public doesnt know about 14million obama helped rezko get for renovation of housing even while there were stories about major problems,no heat in january,in the chicago papers.none of them that i know of have mentioned the part about obama helping to change the makeup of the hospital facilities board thus enabling rezko to control the boards vote.oh one other thing that the msm is doing except for fox is they are not talking about how radicle the education programs that ayers was pushing with barkys help through the ananberg board.so yea except for a few minor details like thease they have covered the subject.
What a joke. Yea, CNN & MSNBC are really objective! Keith Olbermann’s rants against Clinton and now McCain/Palin are really rational huh? Your version of FOX is exactly how the rest of the media looks to us. The NY Times editorials are nothing but anti-HRC, and now Palin diatribes. That is not even close to objective journalism. Campbell Brown, Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, ABC, NBC, CBS? Give me a break.
I guess you don’t see Fox in the early afternoon, do you? They talk very nice about Obama. I guess you don’t see the Sean & Alan show at Fox- Alan is always defending Obama. I guess you got a little confuse- because what I see on Cnn- is 8 democrats and one republican- What I see on Msnbc is 8 democrats and one dependent and NO republican- except poor Pat Buccanan who can’t get a word in due to all the kissing of Obama’s royal ass from the other anchor people. I think you have been watching the wrong channels, child.
There was a time where we had objective reporting in the United States. Reporters researched and wrote/spoke the facts. If they felt compelled to give their opinion, they clearly stated it was their opinion - not objective reporting. Now we get from reporters is opinion and commentary, but it’s given as well researched fact.
There was a time a news anchor never gave commentary. News programs commentators only gave commentary, they never reported facts. Now just about every news anchor also has commentator listed in their job description. The viewer no longer knows when they’re getting factual reporting or commentary. Or if they realize it’s commentary, they don’t know if it’s the reporter/commentator’s personal opinion based on the facts or the corporation who writes the paychecks opinion based on what raises the advertising rates.
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/maybe-some-of-it-is-about-race-after-all/2/
I thought this was interestink….
The MSM needs to go. Translation: We the citizens have to stop watching/reading them. There’s nothing in the First Ammendment against THAT!
The first amendment all includes provisions for free association. I certainly do not wish to be associated with the likes of the MSM in general or Oblockhead and his supporters, in particular. Guess that’s another reason McCain gets my vote.
This is not about taking away the Freedom of Speech - it is about the MSM and they are not doing their jobs! The MSM now makes decisions on what side they support and only report the news that reflects their point of view. We as viewers are stuck making our decisions on that biased reporting. Fact in point - the media is going crazy about the people in McCain’s audiences right now, the same crap is going on in Obama’s audiences and all the heading are just about the mob mentality of McCain supporters. The media needs to be re-tuned and I say get rid of them and bring in real reporters willing to do the job fairly. Trust me I am not saying taking away freedom of speech - save that for Obama (re: Missouri) I am saying the media is not doing their jobs and they need to be called on it and something done about this. We might not be in war with Iraq if they did their jobs correctly 5 years ago. Do we need another “Iraq war” situation by electing the wrong president of the US due to the incompetence of the media propaganda machine.
Are you new to the blogoshphere? - Obama supporters started shit this 9 months ago. Go back and look at some of the vile, vulgar, ugly crap that has been written about Hillary and Palin. DO NOT SAY YOU DON”T UNDERSTAND OUR ANGER! Look in your own backyard for those answers.
I agree….I am a life long Democrat, and after what happened to Hillary during the primaries…you bet I’m angry at the MSM.
How obtuse are Obama supporters? We are angry at the blatant anti-democratic practices that Obama has used, including caucus fraud, voter suppression and manipulation of FL & MI, and a bogus roll call vote; the fueled misogyny; the constant lies and hypocrisy; the race-baiting–and all of it aided and abetted by DNC leaders and the media. What the hell kind of change is that? We’ve already had 8 years of secrecy and deception from Bush/Cheney, thank you very much.
In 4 years a lot of damage can be done, and with an Obamagasm media this Country, our beloved America will be forever changed. Once socialized, there’s little chance of going back as the uniformed masses will always choose “freebies” over freedom.

The louder the media proclaims Barack Hussein Obama’s “lead” the more it means they are running scared and engaging in voter discouragement if not downright suppression. If all the voters for McCain/Palin come out to vote and those democrats who don’t want Barack or McCain stayed at home, the people win.
Let us all vote our rational caps on and refused to be cowed/depressed/frustrated/ intimidated by ANYONE. Remember, you own your mind, your thoughts, your vote. Power is ultimately the people’s.
The reason Obamas crowd believe he is the “SAVIOUR”…is because His basket always magically Fills up With Money and he tells the Crowds…They can do that too if they Only ‘”Believe”..and Have “HOPE”..and they will get”CHANGE”….and Besides that Baracks friends Smell Fishy..and he sendeth forth Acorn two by Two to be fishers of Men..Opps ..Voters..
Yes..The Crowds are Madly shouting..
“GIVE US BARACKUS…GIVE US BARACKUS”…!!
And Alice..History Does repeat itself..
That is the Star of Obama shining in the East..
More than ANYTHING I want to believe that McCain can win.
I had always been a Dem in the past until Obama slimed Hillary…and now I will vote for McCain and against any Dem that supports Obama and his minion of vermin.
But I am worried….my husband’s daughter, a sweet but not overly curious or questioning person believes that everything about Ayers and Acorn is a Republican smear campaign, her whole family in No. Cal. believe that…..
it makes me feel hopeless.
Her husband and son just got laid off at the lumber plant they work at and think Obama will fix everything because he says “we can all work together”
They won’t look at all the things Obama promised in Chicago and how everything actually got worse, lots worse.
I just don’t know….these people all deserve the government they will get, only problem is…we all have to live here, too.
I’m an artist with no $$ to move…and what country would I move to?
Drop the fear and despair. Work your ass off for Mac!
Bell’A…
This race is neck and neck — do not buy the hype. No time for despair — that is what his side is counting on. That is what the corporate controlled media is counting on.
The best reason not to vote for Obama is that these same MSM idiots trumpeted Bush in 2000 and sold us Bush’s war.
In my view, when the media is pushing so hard for a candidate, you can bet they are pushing for a corporate shill. We already know Obama has no courage to stand up for anything. He shifts with the prevailing wind to advantage himself.
My new rule: whoever the media wants, vote the other way.
Vote, call, send articles to your contacts. Get the word out. You have absolutely nothing to lose by working for what you believe in. You can then look back with no regrets because you stepped up to the plate.
Hey everyone cut out the fear and don’t fall for the diversions! Pass along this information!

Remember, our efforts during the primary proved we can make a difference! If the DNC/RBC and delegates did what they were supposed to, Hillary would have been the nominee. There is no RBC and chicken shit delegates in the GE! Obama will be defeated!
I tried signing up to make phone calls on the McCain site but I got an error message twice
I can only hope the site is being overloaded by volunteers!
I will try again later.
My area is so in the tank for Obama that there isn’t a McCain office with 40 miles.
I wanted to go volunteer at one but I can’t afford the gas to go that far.
Go to the Citizens for McCain site.
MCCAIN blame democratic congress
From state house to Whitehouse
Obama will raise social security taxes from current 102,000
Obama will raise capital gains taxes
Obama and his supporters are thugs
The last Republican I voted for? Ronald Reagan UNtil this year A NC Democrat
Our economy is going further and further south and the answer to this problem is a tax hike? If a company is in serious trouble, do you think they’ll put out an ad asking for someone with no experience to turn it around? McCain is no business guru but damn, what am I missing here? How can Americans be so naive to think that a change from Republican to Democrat will cure our economic ills?
i have to tell you guys ,im amazed at the stupidity of people out there.i just had a conversation with a mamager at drive time where we bought one of our 2 cars trying to restructure our monthly payment so idont have to do a volentary repo and ruin our credit which we have been rebuilding for the last 3 years.he is mid 50’s hispanic and he is voting for the one.we had a civil 45minute talk and he thinks that all of this talk about barky is overblown.i even asked him if the whitey tape came out would that make a differance,his responce is white people in south are racist no big deal!talked to him about rezko and the other coruption possibilities and he said if any of it proves out we can remove barky then.what are thease people crazy.god help us.
Next time, tell him, if push comes to shove, history has shown, Obama will throw Hispanics (and Asians and whites) under the bus.

Great article. I think McCain is worried about ticking off the independents and hasn’t come out swinging for that reason. Maybe he needs to hear that the Obamacrats are the reason PUMA’S exist.
Larry you need to have a PUMA DAY
Where all PUMAS from all over the country call in to a telephone hook up —State their first name and the state they represent
Was Barack Obama’s logo based on Weather Underground’s logo…imagery from West German Terrorism groups?
Check this out…chilling..
http://www.aftershockmagazine.com/goldsworthy68.html
Notice the weather underground logo…then consider Obama’s logo…then check out the cover of Bill Ayers new book at Amazon about ending white supremecy…due in June 2009.
Chilling
The Weather Underground Logo is 9 from the top left of the group of logos…chilling!
Just the fact that he has a “logo” is weird. What’s wrong with the “logo” we already have? It’s called the American flag.
I agree.
Bill Ayers had his Weather Underground logo tattooed to his back between his shoulders (Fugitive Days pg. 292)
The resemblance between these two logos is more than wierd.
The circle stands for the globe, and “global leftist guerilla terrorism”.
In William Ayers Words:
“our trademark thick and colorful rainbow with a slash of angry lighting (sic) cutting through it. New morning, it signified, changing weather…”
Change we can believe in!
It kind of looks like the ACORN symbol also…UGH!
Was bouncing around other blogs and ran into this, “How a Young Chicago Litigator Helped Create the Subprime Housing Crisis.”
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/194379.php
Obama was part of a group of litigators filing lawsuits against banks for not approving loans between Asians, whites and blacks in parity. Despite all other factors involved, Obama and co. chose to focus on melanin concentration as the likely cause of the disparity between the groups while ignoring all other factors.
No collateral? No job? Black? No loan? Racism!
This is exactly the opposite of what Mr. King was striving for when he famously stated in his speech on August 28, 1963, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
yes everyone. THe vote does not end until nov.4th. Stop worrying and spread the message of McCain all over.
Volunteer. Make calls. I volunteered at my local republican HQ. Get involved. Obama’s ground operation is bigger than mac’s.
So, instead of fretting over soundbites and fake scandal get out the vote.
If you know poeple voting third party, tell them, beg them to do otherwise.
We can and will win.
It is amazing how much some have let Obama and the media beat you down. We are Hillary supporters and we have been through this before.
GO VOLUNTEER. Tell everyone you know of obama’s corrupt connections and racist background along with his terrorist friends.
You guys are letting him and his cronies snatch this election right under your nose and all some of you can do is complain.
If you really want obama to lose you have to make it so. It takes a nation to elect a president.
