You're boring.

Ive been called a lot worse !

Mine too!

I'm totally voting for Geraldine Ferraro now.

This shit is outrageous. Keep em coming Reaper.

Try a little history. Why not look bad into the distant past like say 2004 or maybe even hey i don't know lets get crazy 2000.

In both cases (and in most presidential elections) there was a strong media bias in favor of who.....GW. Bush.

And if you want to get really crazy, go back further and you'll see consisent bias in favor of corporate candidates and typically greater favor for the republicans who tend to be the bigger corporate whores.

There are entire books on this (chomsky's manufacturing consent) sites dedicated to media bias (like one from columbia universities school of journalism.) Do yourself a favor look at them.

Obama has not been vetted until now. The media pined for him like they had a school crush on him.

Which gives how much credit to your Republican media bias theory?

You are misrepresenting or over-simplifying Chomsky. This is your opinion, plagued by it's own glaring naive perceptions. You talk of the media like it's one giant boogieman, when the reality of the situation is more complicated.

Hmm, now this is interesting. Just look at these poll numbers:

A new poll shows it's now a Hillary-Barack dead heat nationally, when only as recently as mid-March, Barack had a 52 percent to 45 percent lead over Hillary. So strange.

Another poll shows that Hillary now leads in North Carolina, when she was down 15 points in the same poll just two weeks ago. Hmm.

Another poll shows a ten point swing in hillary's favor since Nazi Wright -- who Barack has called his "spiritual advisor," and had a 20-year friendship with, and who married Barack and his wife, and who baptized their kids, and who Barack dedicated his book to, and who's friendship Wright said a year ago he knew Barack would have to distance himself from, and who Barack kept on his staff until as late as November, yet who Barack claims to barely know -- gave his speeches the other day:

Another shows that shows that Obama lost 24 points among men in Indiana, in only five days! Imagine that.

Well, it seems like the house of cards is finally collapsing for everybody's favorite America-hating, anti-Semitic, black nationalist, closet Muslim Barack. Too bad.

My heart goes out to those poor souls who voted for him or were planning to, because to have entertained such a futile dead-end must feel utterly dispiriting and soul-crushing.

Ah well. Look at the bright side. You can always retire to your parents' mansion basement where you live and listen to rap to sooth your battered sense of neurotic white guilt which is the only reason you wanted him to be president in the first place.

Plus I'm sure Hillary will make a fine plan B!

Fuck you guys...


Wright/Hatta '08!

Oh yeah, and I hate to add fuel to the fire of the purely media-concocted conspiracy that there is no real substance to whatsoever, but, Heh

Rev. Wright's honorary degree canceled by Northwestern

Why do you hate reality?

You're not too bright, are you?

mec_nukka, please tell me how many honorary degrees have been bestowed on your for all your wonderful work doing community outreach?

Obama didn't cut all ties from his Pastor when the soundbite clips from much larger sermons, many of which even make sense within the context(crazy, isn't it), because he didn't believe that a few out-of-context soundbites represented a man's entire life and career. He also made it clear, oh I don't know, fifteen twenty times now, that just because a man is your friend, your pastor, your doctor or even on your staff, you don't have to agree with every single thing that they think or believe. Why is that there's nothing wrong with people of many different religions advising a candidate or a President or a C.E.O., but the assumption becomes that a man attends a church and therefore must share the same exact worldview of his Pastor and agree with everything he says? Should President Bush only be advised by top ranking Generals if they belong to his church and believe in his faith? I think Bush believes that, possibly, might help explain the last eight years.

Meanwhile, all your polling data is correct, I think you'd be hard pressed to find many people on this thread who don't think that the ongoing Wright scandal hurt will hurt Obama's campaign. Which, you'll note, is a very different argument than that it should hurt his campaign. Try and follow along, one is about recognizing reality(it will hurt the Obama Campaign), the other is offering opinion on the sorry state of our national discourse, and the issues that grab the most media attention. Which influence the polls, which is why everyone recognizes point one.

He's a troll. Treat him as such.

The one-liners beat me to the punch, as ever.
