racist flames...it was a-o.k.

2. You seem to forget the MSM is all about "infotainment" and not "information."
Remember that the "Dean Scream" was documented to have been played well over 650 times, and that was nothing but a noise cancelling mic picking up Dean's voice amongst a crowd. It's not like Rev. Wright's words are being distorted by the microphone.

3. No, but an out-of-context clip certainly distorts his message. nt

9. "I was before it before I was against it."
That little out-of-context sentence cost us the election.

4. It's all they have to do
You don't expect them to do investigative reporting about the numerous Bush junta scandals do you? Silly rabbit.

Being a reporter/journalist is an easy gig. You don't need any education, just lip gloss, implants, perfectly coiffed hair, and the ability to read a tele-prompter while smiling incessantly, even when discussing Iraq war dead (which I have seen done on cable).

7. Now we need a pastor to rant about the media
Maybe they can play that one a hundred thousand times, too.

8. There not just attacking Obama
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 02:36 PM by CatsDogsBabies
they are attacking everyone in the TUCC, whether you want to admit it or not. It doesn't take much to move from: "Obama should be condemn for being a member of this church." to "All members should be condemned." Unless you are willing to say that TUCC is okay for blacks as long as they don't want to run for president. If it were just an attack on Obama, maybe it would be fair, but this is an attack on an entire congregation. It's disgusting. And, the words are not even Obama's words, so the analogy with the Dean Scream doesn't make sense.

11. The Clintons and her crew were the only ones saying they were accused of being racists
and you all fell for it. You claimed, just because Hillary told you, that they were being accused of being racists and you all fell in line with your outrage. Bill wants to talk about myths, this is one of the biggest myths in this campaign. And as usual her supporters run with it.

15. It is fact.
Michelle Obama also took BC's "fairytale" comment out of context.

16. It's not fact but because you all choose not to listen
You keep spreading the myth.
