It may be a long 8 years of eating shit when he's President since your constant bashing of him hasn't and won't work. He will remember.

1. Obama was worshipped by the MSM for months.
They are just getting started. Obama is NOT beyond reproach.

9. He's gotten a FREE ride until the Wright story. You are spoiled!
You ought to try Hillary's shoes on for size...except they are much too big for wimps. If he makes it to the GE...this is nothing...get used to it...it's good experience.

10. The media trashed Gore, the media trashed Kerry, the media trashed Hillary
and now the media is trashing Obama. Anyone notice a pattern?

It is self-defeating for any Democrat to celebrate the continued idiocy of our media.

15. Our local rag is ragingly Republican, but you should have seen it this a.m.!
I live in Blue Collar, Indiana, and this was our treat today:
    1. The front page was dedicated to Hillary denouncing the "those (Indiana) people are shit" video
    2. Page four had four columns by 3 inches of a puff-piece interview with a local reporter.
    3. Page five had a story about Hillary's plans for Indiana visits.
    4. Obama got three columns by 1 inch talking about how they weren't sure if he was going to drop by the local skating rink or not. (The story was clearly written by a drug addled idiot)


Yeah, Obama has really gotten a free ride by the media.

16. What are you talking about????
Edited on Sun May-04-08 12:17 AM by Beacool
The MSM was in the tank for Obama soooo bad for so long that many of us stopped watching MSNBC altogether. If they had done their job and this stuff about Wright, Ayres, Rezko, et al. had come out before February 5th, Obama would have been long gone by now.

18. Google FALN, and tell me all about what hasn't been divulged-YET. Here,
I'll help you: talk about guilt by association! This is a lot more current:

http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB120277819085260827.html

Obama and Ayers were on a charity board together, nothing has come from Rezko, and Wright was his preacher. Give me a break. Here's info on Ayers; what a scary man! :scared:

20. They don't and they won't
The MSM are owned (mostly) by conservatives. Gore was crucified in 2000, Kerry in 2004, Hillary for much of the last eighteen months or so, now it's Obama's turn (probably because he's winning). Democrats need to learn that you cannot expect the MSM to tell the truth or be impartial. The MSM are, in large part, collaborators with teh Republicans.
