The Media Is Doing An All Assault on Obama This Weekend

One hour Rev. Wright shows every night over the weekend. It's incredible to see them do this.

nobody is paying any attention.

Frankly,it is getting extremely boring but who knows maybe it will work for the HCBC group.

No one can see their programming and not understand what they are trying to do.

as new news. Are we not at war right now? Is the economy not in the tank? I guess those things aren't considered 'news' to you. Just more distractions, and it sickens me that you, as a democrat, fail to see the problem.

country. At who they are. We know the problems, we someone we TRUST to deal with them.

How is what Reverend Wright has to say relevant to how Obama would govern?

Though Wright and Obama do not often talk one-on-one often, the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.

But we do have HRCs lying words on tape, not to mention Bill's - and don't think for a second they won't be on a continuous loop if she stole the nomination.

I can think of another warmongering, dynastic politician to whom that same sentence applies, as well.

In the face of ongoing war, McWar's admission of the role of oil in war, horrendous gas prices, mortgague market collapse and so on and so on, you want to argue that this is news? As a Democrat? Then I am sad for you.

that will not change one damn thing in the lives of anyone other than the Re thugs and those that want to avoid talking about the issues.

We need to hear much more about the Gasoline Holiday ~ just maybe it has a part that may work for us.

I want to hear about the surge that doesn't seem to be going well.

Did anyone learn anything new about the DC Madam that "committed suicide" and may have had lots of names in her little book?

I heard that Jenna's wedding plans were front and center all weekend. What about her father's war in Iraq? I want to see all the "clips" of the darling little school children walking to school. Happily skipping with their books,holding their Mother's hand! Where are the school children?

Where are the "reporters" from Iraq that we once heard day after day telling us "Mission Accomplished?"

What's up with the ECONOMY damn it! Let's hear McCain's plan again , and HCBC's and Obama's.
I want it explained by all of them,in detail.

What happened to the big time plans for Immigration reform? I passed the local Home Depot and I could not get in the parking lot! There were at least 50 Hispanic workers, begging for jobs and trying to flag down every customer with no luck.

Finally got in and Home Depot had no one available to wait on me and about 5 customers total in the entire store. Home Depot was a ghost town. Where are the people, where are the jobs?

No, no mention of any major issues, just "clips" and discussion of a Minister with no church.
What about Fair and Balanced? I want to learn more about "The Family" and Rev. Hagee as long as we as American are told we are so interested in Christ. Let's explore the Religion of each candidate.
I'm Christian and I want to be more informed.

bosnia ordeal? where she lied and made up a complete fabrication? Being
confused or tired might mean saying it happened on a wed and not a tuesday. Not
making it up entirely.

The only reason to keep rehashing it is to remind voters about the 'scary black man' so that they prop up Hillary's numbers as much as possible to make it seem like she's still in it.

The SDs need to start ending this ASAP because the media will keep breaking down the Dems' chances as long as there's no declared nominee.

It stopped being news about a week ago, it's just justifiable because it's against the opposition.

questioning each other over whether "this will hurt the election chances or that will hurt"..and then they cue the tape and show it again..rinse * repeat..

one newsette even said the other day "Well WE'LL keep talking about it (rev wright)"...

odd how they STOPPED talking about the Bosnia lies..and the never even started talking about the details of all that "baggage" Mizzzz Hillary always brags about..

If not, it's not news. It's a week old.

thinking in education. Like anyone gives a rip about a pastor's views on this subject!? But it is Pastor Wright,and anything to get him more air time.

They also did a little biographical sketch on Hillary and on Obama. Hillary's was basically vapid, and so was Obama's, except with Obama's they ended it with a lead up to the Wright thing.....

They are cramming Wright up our arse. It is like the Swift Boat thing.

Obama made his bed, now he has to defend it.

This is the big leagues, and in this league expect to have a slew of beaners thrown.
Obama is a minor leaguer (as Ferraro correctly noted, as did the founder of BET).
He wasn't ready for the majors, and his coaching history is rife with exploitable weaknesses.

No assault.
It's called investigative journalism.

Wright is fair as an issue, something even Obama admitted.

Super Delegates Vote Hillary.

I went and saw Wicked instead. :)

What was your favorite part?

got really sick of Jeremiah 24/7

You would think that since we are mired in the mortgage crisis that the newspapers would examine McCain's role as a member of the Keating five. Perhaps the fact that McCain abaondoned his first wife, a former model, after she was disfigured in an accident. Or, what about McCain's admission that the war was about oil?

Of course, if Hillary was leading, then the networks would be running Hillary's baking cookies comment 24/7.

Remember, if fear is the enemy of reason as Gore noted in his book, then the corrollary is that reason and logic can be overcome by fear. Otherwise, there is no reason why McCain should be competitive with either Hillary or Obama.

and how come nothing has been said of 'Reverend' Hagee? Since we're apparently gauging our presidential candidates on their pastor's opinions. DOH!!!!! :banghead:

I realized as I saw some of it on CNN, that it seemed more of Obama's renouncing the Rev. than about what the Rev said. They kept playing Obama's words about meaning what he said when he denounced the pastor, about how the Reverend doesn't speak for his campaign, etc etc etc.

This will go a long way in 2 ways:
1. Taking this off the table for the GE
2. Convincing people that Obama has denounced his former pastor and has moved on.

so let's hope this does too. It's amazing how they just can't help themselves. They continually tell people what to think but they keep forgetting that the public knows that they sold us into a phony war.

The story is whether Obama did enough on denouncing the Rev. and why it took him so long etc. The end result is that more and more people are hearing that he has denounced the Reverend.

With the exception of Olbermann.

things to do this weekend than be brainwashed by mediawhores.

they peddle as "news."

:argh:

them since Nov, 2002 and I'm not gonna give their propaganda filth a gander now.

and a chance to explain his side again and again. Not fair. Hillary should get her share of equal time.

They really do need to give her more time to explain.

Obama still has a lot of splaining to do...and it will help him in the primary and the GE. Do you doubt that this air time helps him?

LMAO.

Hillary has not explained her NAFTA lies at all and the corporate media has not asked her. Hillary also needs to explain why she has supported offshoring to India while she tells voters she is against it.



It should tell you something that the corporate whore media that was cheerleader for Bush's war is so hard against Obama.

Providing an inoculation for Barack. Many folks are just plain sick and tired of the wall to wall Wright - O - Thon. Seeing Obama clearly reject his former pastor they may decide enough is enough and support him to teach "them" a lesson.

that says the words Rev.Wright. Dan Abrams, Chris Matthews, and Wolf Blitzer can all get in line to bite me. They're trying to emulate Billy and Hannity. It's so irritating. I will be watching the NBA playoffs instead.

who he studied, his spiritual and political adviser

faithful and relevant political adviser. Shall we watch him wag his finger at us declaring his innocence and pontificate whether that would hurt Hillary in the GE? Of course not. Because it's old news, as this is now old news. Just because you're biased doesn't mean you have to be completely unfair, and defending of the media, no less.

Bill would never have won any election without Hillary.

He was the front man, and it is old news, Obama isn't old news he is the unknown that wants to be president

Obama is NOT unknown, he's been campaigning around this country for the last year and then some. Surely you are not defending this media hit job. Or maybe you are. And I will say it again, it is your bias making you believe this is somehow "fair." If the shoe were on the other foot, would it be fair? Of course not. But, carry on.

you do the math

My logic is intact too.

Anywho, thanks for defending our outstanding media coverage of the Dr.Reverend Jeremiah Wright. There may be some voters who were in the potty when they aired the controversy the first 5 gazillion times. So I know you just want them to have the information that is important to their vote. Irrelevant news like John McCain's declaration of WAR FOR OIL! and the housing crisis, and the gas crisis, and the food crisis, and the soldiers that died in Iraq yesterday, and the bombings against Somalia, and war drums beating for Iran, and the torture issue, and the devestating tornadoes, and shark attacks, well, those things are far less newsworthy than what Senator Obama's former pastor said. I stand corrected. :)

He was the church's pastor and that's all. Obama was a Harvard graduate before he ever even met Wright. It's just a wee bit silly to say he made Obama.

start with the articles listed in my journal

spiritual and political adviser until he started dropping like a stone

so were they both lying then or just started lying now?

paul simon is one of the greatest senators from illinois and durbin is pretty dam good too.

wright was never his political advisor. obama sought his advice as did bill clinton.....

worse this weekend. I took a two-week hiatus.. I feel another one coming on.

It is to the point that I find it hard to believe its legal.

Is it legal to do this kind of thing?

theyre failing though. no worries. luckily, there are enough people who dont need to be told what to think.

I used to say "people arent dumb" But lately after these last couple of elections and hearing the MSM/GOP bs repeated at work I am not so sure how smart people are.
Or maybe they just dont really pay as much attention as we do. Some people actually watch Fox News TV and radio and mistake it for true news and fact.. These people exist and we need to be scared of them.

and where?

Complaining to Fox, etc. is a waist.

I will give you credit for posting the link to it Blomst - thanks! I suggest everyone read this!!!! Herbert has been on Twitty's show before and I think I heard him say he always rides him! Sure as H hope he read this one and takes it to heart!!!

responsibility is to socialize and control the masses to the bidding of their corporate masters. I tuned out long ago and I believe lots of people are doing the same.

These "journalist" people make me sick. They put traitors at the round table, and show us propaganda at every turn. Now there is non stop Wright. I've just about given up on the TV except for entertainment and KO (love Rachel Maddow). The internet gives me my news, and I'm just waiting until they take that away too.
Outrage overload!!!

It's really become tiresome.

that is the only thing they can use against him and the majority of the american public could care less.

they are very afraid that he will win and not invite them to the ball...

Gets through their bs, CNN is doing a special called 'race in America' this summer. :thumbsdown: Yep - anything to show 'differences' as opposed to how we could all work together to push back the fascist tide.

the racism in this country is becoming an open sore oozing vile putrid smelling infection

Whooo boy. This is an all out blitz.

Expect Fat Timmy to question him even more about Wright.

The corporate media will lynch the black preacher and by association a major Presidential candidate as well. It is way out of control.

People are relying now more on blogs and other sources.

With the help of her corporate news buddies she's outspending Obama.

Were you blind/deaf during the 2004 election cycle? This is what happens to Democrats.

that MSNBC has piled on with constant Rev. Wright BS crap 24/7. I used to be a constant viewer of all their political programs and kept the channel on for news all the time. Now I avoid it completely except for Keith O. I really thought that MSNBC was different, but now they seem like they are trying to be FOX News. CNN is not even as bad as MSNBC anymore to me. :-(

The media HATES the Democratic Party. They were all about hatin' on Senator Clinton, it is now Senator Obama's turn.

So that makes 31 for the Obamanator and 15 for the Hillard.

and they'll stop playing this junk. I'm sure every Joe Bob in a trailer in Rooster Shit, AR won't know to turn off CNN, but we do.

I say start a microtrend and watch it bloom. Stop watching the 24's. CNN, MSNBC, FOX CNBC. Stop watching them. Just stop. Stop going to their websites.

By Odin's beard!
