The media's game with this Obama vs Cheenee bullshit

They will play it up to the point where it is pure excess. The right will make hay. The left will scream bloody blue murder.

In a week or so the media will act as if the were sorry and admit they were wrong to equate The President and The Dick.

That would be our cue to cheer. If we cheer, they win. The goal was to get The Dick out there to the sheeple. The rest is for show.

1. It's my own small protest but I refuse to listen to cheenee....

I don't give a shit what lies he wants to spew.

The media makes me sick in all this too. I heard one reporter (Tapper, I think) say that Obama must be speaking today because he's worried that what cheenee is saying is getting traction. Oy vey....

5. I doubt if the media

will admit to a wrong or act sorry. They thrive on drama and conflict. I do worry about how all the hype will affect Dick. He is not in the best of health. He needs to be resting. His ticker surely doesn't like all of this. He showed a mysterious cough today. I hope he is OK. :)

7. This will play right through the Sunday talk circuit.

Dicks speech will get twice the play to continue the "debate". I have said this before but will say it again: The current state of the media is a larger threat to the Republic than any terrorist threat, real or imagined.

8. You're absolutely correct. The media is job one.

Calling them a threat is fully appropriate. They were a big part of the '00 coup and they are on the vanguard of maintaining it to this day.
