I figure myself a pretty sane fellow. I have a temper, but it probably runs only a little hotter than average.
In spite of my generally angelic nature, I have found myself wanting to crush something many times during this election cycle.
It's not the tawdry democrat nominee, with his lies about Ayers, Acorn, Wright and virtually everything else. It's not his nature, and his supporters' nature, which manifests in such ugliness as intimidating contributors, threatening radio stations, and muddying a common citizen, Joe. It's not that Obama is arguably a flat-out Marxist, and intends that my two little girls grow up in a radically different country - a much worse one in virtually every regard. It's not his radical, angry wife or his lunatic fringe friends. It's not even that I and millions of other Americans suspect - with good reason - that Obama basically hates traditional America and its values. Hates them. It's none of that. It's the fawning complicity of the press in all this.
There is no law againt a demagogue whipping up a bunch of Americans into an angry mob, bent on marxist "change". But it ought to be against the law for the press to be so unrelentingly biased.
This point was driven home as I watched the excellent
"B-Cast" from Thursday, Oct. 16th. In the prior day's debate, Obama flatly said that his campaign payment to Acorn earlier this year was the extent of his involvement wtih them. It was a naked lie, as the program goes on to show, highlighting other sources. One news article they quoted noted that their research required only 30 minutes using the internet. Obama and Acorn are old and dear friends. It's him they turn to for their 'power' training sessions (yes, your country is on the verge of being taken over by a radical street agitator).
Acorn is undeniably shady, but since what they do promotes liberalism, they get a pass from the press. Were it a conservative group doing the same thing, it would lead every news story.
Obama's lies about Acorn during the debate are likewise irrelevant because it's Obama. If McCain had lied about involvement with a group that was considerably less shady than Acorn, it would again lead the news, and would be heralded as the big mistake that will 'cost McCain the election'.
The bias is so constant that it's numbing. And it's criminal because it flies under the banner of objectivity. They know about Obama and Acorn, they don't report it because he's essentially their new god. They know about his repeated gaffes and lies, but they ignore them as well. When ABC's Chris Wallace actually asked him a pointed question in a primary debate, he was savaged. This is madness, and these people are madmen. They are willing to throw away honor and integrity to see a leftist elected. In so doing, they are forfeiting the trust of millions of Americans that their colleagues built up over the generations.
