Screw the MSM
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 02:13 PM by Tribetime
We have one candidate that finally is running his campaign from donations from the people. Now the corporate run greed bloodsucking media is going to make the the 30 second soundbites of a minister be the main issue of the election. NOT THE MORTGAGE CRISIS, NOT THE NATIONAL DEBT, NOT THE WAR IN IRAQ, NOT POVERTY, NOT RACISM, NOT THE HATRED OF THE U.S. AROUND THE WORLD, NOT HEALTH CARE......BUT THE SOUNBITES OF A MINISTER, WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT THESE ARE IN ANYWAY OBAMA'S BELIEFS, THEY STILL FUCKING CONTINUE SCREW YOU

1. Bingo ... which means we have to redouble our resolve to FIGHT them
Almost 2 MILLION LITTLE PEOPLE are invested (in this TERRIBLE
economy, no less) in this man's campaign. We CANNOT let the
sucky MSM MINDFUCK us any more -- this race is NOT a "tie" --
Obama is IN THE LEAD with pledged delegates (THE MAJOR DETERMINANT
OF THE NOMINEE) and WILL REMAIN SO, regardless of how these
ratbastards try to spin it.

We must remain vigilant and REMEMBER WHAT THE TRUTH IS, even
as they spew their lies.

2. Thats a good point
The MSM is attacking ALL of us with their non stop attacks on Obama because we the voters have decided we want to support someone they're afraid of.

The Clinton supporters need to understand that they too are being attacked, as the MSM wont stop this if they get lucky and Hillary is the nominee THEY WILL BE NEXT.

The MSM are proving themselves to the enemy of ALL OF US.

4. Im pissed too
I would have thought the MSM would be smart enough to recognize that their initial over reaction to Wright several weeks back actually damaged Clinton as much as Obama, as her favorability numbers dropped by 14 points, and they might not be so quick to go back there if they really want to help Clinton.

Its becoming obvious that helping Clinton is secondary to their intentions at this point, they really want nothing more than to damage the Democratic party to help McCain in the GE.

Thats why I said the Clinton supporters need to recognize that the MSM is attacking all of us Democrats with this.

5. What do you think about sending post cards to the MSM & saying something like NOT THIS TIME???
If we could get like 5,000 or so sent would they notice? Just a thought. Any other ideas? I am SICK of it too! Couldn't watch MIKA today on Morning Joe and I thought she was for Obama! And Lou Dobbs! Oh my God what a jerk!!!!!!

The one that stood up for Rev. Wright was Imus today! Believe it or not! Imus had Dick Gregory the comedian on today and he was brilliant! I knew that Imus has been "friends" with other black Pastor's in his life but didn't know how he would warm up to Rev. Wright. He played a lot of his speech in Detroit and had a lot of good things to say about him as did Charles. He has two black commentators on now with him which I give him credit for. I don't watch him often but this morning when I saw Gregory was going to be on I checked him out and was glad I did!

Here is a link to some of the information from today:

6. I think the only one who can do anything is Obama
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 02:38 PM by Tribetime
He must keep calling the media out on not focusing on issues that are crucial to our lives. I'm sending in more money today, I figure it's us versus the corporations and Obama has our back.

a few to the list and things may look better today

7. Easy enough to ignore them.
I no longer listen to or watch the "media". It's all propaganda and plain old lies. I figure if their mouths ae moving they're lying. They have no credibility.
