The Idiocy of the Mainstream Media

Politics and Power Blog: vanityfair.com

All you really need to know is that the dailKOS contributed to the article.

I realize the left and it's media allies are scared. Obama was supposed to cruise to an easy election victory in a year when the democrats simply shouldn't lose. Then comes Sarah Palin and the left goes absolutely nuts with fear.

As much as stories like the above disgust me, I encourage the left to keep it up. McCain/Palin are trending ahead in the polls and Obama's sycophantic media supporters have exposed themselves as charlatans.

smoke and mirrors. Like to see one of these timelines of Obama's mother at the time of BO's conception.

in the "lies of omission" department comes this little tidbit:

Barack Obama's $1.1 Million Botanical Garden -- Er, $100,000 Gazebo | NewsBusters.org

Kudos will go to the Chicago Sun-Times for a followup on July 11, 2008, which is linked to in the newsbusters article. <span class=redtext><b id=red>Exclusive:</b></span> Obama's $100K field of broken dreams :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Barack Obama

Where do you people get these ideas? Honestly.

Maybe you deserved 8 years of Bush/Cheney. Of loss of civil liberties. Of a war your great-great-great-great grandchildren will be paying for. Of the mastermind of 9-11 still on the loose. Of a monumental housing crisis. Of a set-back in alternative energy exploration and R&D, of ignoring science in the pursuit of curing disease, of a Category 2 hurricane that could flood a city and kill 1,500+ people, of blowing through the national budget, of a soaring debt that is likely to stick around for generations.

And, now, you might just deserve a continued path, with the addition of mandatory teaching of creationism in public schools, of allowing the government to ban books in public libraries, of overturning Roe v. Wade, of offshore drilling, of invading Iran, of more jobs going overseas...

Is this the country you want?

the childish pretending that every administration ever doesn't have a huge list of faux calamitous events is just ridiculous. Pretending that your hero Clinton doesn't have an enormous list is just ignorant, but all that national defense and intelligence stuff isn't near as imporatant as the lie about civil liberties, lies about energy setbacks etc.

Get over yourself.

Why?

Using abortion as birth control is wrong IMO but if people want to do it it's on their conscience not mine.

by that argument we should have no laws and just butt out of each others lives. Anarchy should reign supreme, right. I mean what they do is on their conscience not mine... So screw it right

That would be okay with me to a point.

If somebody decides they want to end their pregnancy, why is it any of your business?

I've always wondered why people are so against abortion is the reason I asked in the first place.

Im ok with abortion (first trimester) in two situations. Rape and incest. Otherwise it is just a moronic form of birth control. If you are too dumb to use a condom or be on the pill then you get to learn how to take care of a kid. Its life.
