Boston Herald: NY Times kisses liberal butt and seems to enjoy the smell

OK, that's not EXACTLY what the Boston Herald guy says. My headline is a bit more attention-grabbing.
My favorite line: "These aren’t the actions of bad journalists. These are the actions of bad people."

Leftist media sire hypocrisy - BostonHerald.com

When the story first broke that Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards had cheated on his cancer-stricken wife and sired a baby with a bimbo on his campaign payroll, The New York Times [NYT] refused to run it.

But when the news hit that not the president, not the vice president but the daughter of the vice-presidential nominee is pregnant, the Times ran five -- count ’em, five -- stories about it. In one day.

When the daughter of a vice-presidential candidate turns out to be 17, unmarried and pregnant, of course that’s news. But it doesn’t come close to legitimizing the all-out media assault (there is no other word for it) the press has unleashed on the Palins.

So-called “reporters” on CNN and MSNBC have speculated on Gov. Palin’s fitness as a mother. Sally Quinn from The Washington Post says that Palin should “rethink her priorities” and turn down the VP job. US Weekly -- owned by the same people who put fawning faux-Jesus photos of Barack Obama on the cover of Rolling Stone -- calls the Palin story “Sex, Lies and Scandal.”

The Atlantic, once a respected, thoughtful voice of the American left, has actually promoted the lunatic -- and utterly disproven -- theory that Gov. Palin wasn’t pregnant with Trig at all. Trig is really Bristol’s son, and the governor of Alaska took time out of her schedule fighting against hack GOP congressmen and oil company insiders to fake a pregnancy on her daughter’s behalf.

According to Steve Schmidt of the McCain campaign, mainstream media organizations are demanding to see medical reports on Gov. Palin’s amniotic fluid and a DNA test on little Trig.

These aren’t the actions of bad journalists. These are the actions of bad people. From the set of MSNBC to the pages of The Boston Globe-Democrat, there are people willing to do anything to elect Barack Obama, up to and including the trashing of a 17-year-old girl.

But remember: Barack Obama is, as one San Francisco columnist put it, the “light bringer” who will heal our partisan divide.

Mind you, there is not an overwhelming bias to the left in the media: Consider how MSNBC was quick to pull Keith Olbermann off of his night job as anchor for major political news (see entry above). So they are hardly overwhelmingly biased at MSNBC. They are only highly biased at MSNBC, not overwhelmingly biased.

I don't know how Pat Buchanan -- a regular commentator on the network -- can stomach being in the room. I guess with age comes great intestinal fortitude, for some. Of course, you'll note that he is typically facing off against the unproclaimed liberals, such as Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Seriously -- I keep hearing about how Olbermann refuses to commit to a political view, but every time I watch him, it is nothing but liberal angles, biases and favoritism.

Barack Obama is not half-white and is not a monkey, but McCain is not at all black and is a dancing monkey

Having a hard time with that title? That's the point, sorta.

Can you imagine if the political correctness monitors of Esquire magazine's editorial board let slip, ever, that the Obama campaign was "monkeying around", "dancing like a monkey", or some other primate-related thing? What kind of chants of racism there would be? What morose steps toward apology there would be? Oh, they would never! But McCain can be a monkey, because he's a white man! Duh!

Esquire Endorses Barack Obama for President - Election 2008 - Esquire

[McCain] gave a brave speech in Virginia, and he seemed genuinely interested in prying his party from the clutches of corporate avarice and theocratic lunacy. If he had held to the substance of that speech, instead of merely to its form, he might have been as transformational a figure on his side of the aisle as Obama has been on his. However, McCain has spent the past few years dancing like a monkey on a string, making brave noises in public that he later abandoned in private.

Here Esquire magazine's editors are, calling the McCain campaign dancing monkeys. Somehow, so long as you are not black, being called a monkey is OK. And, I should note, Esquire magazine is run by liberals.

Obama: America's destiny? More like America's folly, considering this

Blogging the election
Barack Obama might as well have called John McCain a “Nigga Hating Cracker”… : P.U.M.A

Ever since Spike Lee’s Malcolm X was released, two words entered the popular lexicon of racial intolerance, those words are “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” .

In isolation they might be innocent, however when a black man says a white man is “hoodwinking” and “bamboozling” black people, he might as well be saying that the person he is referring to is a “nigga hating cracker” . Taking it to its logical conclusion, same can be said about the supporters of that person (gosh darn it, I guess that makes me an Uncle Tom).

Either way, for reasons best known to Obama, this [hit link, read, watch video] is the second time in this campaign he has used exactly this phraseology while giving a speech geared to a predominantly black audience. The first time he did was in South Carolina when he was referring to Bill Clinton. Afterwards, Bill went from being the first black President to a racist demagogue as far as the black community was concerned. Now in Philadelphia, he has chosen to do the same against John McCain.

From his utterances it seems till there is a race war, Obama would not be satisfied. Why he would channel Malcolm X at the height of his militancy against a GOP that already has to contend with (false) accusations of racism is beyond me, but as stated earlier, Obama is willing to destroy the country to win an election.

This comes from a blog that is by a black guy. Not that that amazes me, but frankly, race is being used against white people in general, simply because the Democrats have a black guy running for president. So the tenor of this, I would have actually freaked if it were a white dude.

What's so ironic, to stray, is that the Dems are using racist tactics -- yes, they are! -- along with the press, to make America feel "bad" if we don't elect Obama. So, I say, if he gets elected, we're simply all idiots, not just half of us. OK, maybe that's a bit harsh. CNN is mostly idiots, and MSNBC - why doesn't it just rebardge itself, fire Joe Scarborough, and call itself "LibTV"? Can't blame the electorate for believing what the liars tell them, I guess.

I hope they know what they are creating by using race in this election like it had been used in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. What is Obama loses? What will happen then? Who would be to blame then?

Shame on America for turning a professional candidate into a false prophet.

Obama canvassing suggests socialism is the hope he offers

As I noted in another post tonight, I am doing keyword searches for Obama information. Someone so new to the national stage can be a good thing, sure; it is a fool who thinks he could not JUST AS EASILY be a disaster on many fronts. This is not American Idol he's auditioning for in stump speeches all over the country.

Eerily, I quickly stumbled across the following highly obscure post using these words: Obama, reliable, George Soros. (Soros is amazingly wealthy, a renowned liberal and clearly a supporter of Obama, and the Dems in general.) These are not right wing conspiracy terms.

In light of this campaigner's stupid arrogance, and the zealous lawbreaking of ACORN, etc., I am a bit concerned that Obama is far from being a black American candidate, but a leftist autocrat candidate. His bluster nearly matches this campaigner's, told of in this fresh blog of a fifty-something conservative.

Vans-15: USSA

This young man was canvassing our neighborhood about 3:30 PM when he knocked on our door, and when my wife and son answered, he proceeded to ask them to support Senator Obama's candidacy. When my wife told him that we are registered Republicans and that we intend to vote for Senator McCain, the young man retorted that "we're headed for socialism" and refused to obey my wife's instructions to leave immediately. After my wife called for me and I repeated her order to leave, the young man continued to hover on our front walk and stated that "we're headed for socialism" twice more in a triumphant tone of voice before finally moving on....

This incident gets under my skin for a couple of reasons. First, the kid wouldn't shove off when we told him to do so, as if defying us would convince us to change our minds and support his candidate: Liberals have a problem with private property, after all.

The door-knocker who was so enthusiastic for Obama yesterday was guilty of being young - ignorant, inexperienced, more energy than sense. But the candidate he represents has given him a rather evil hope, that we can be transformed into the United Socialist States of America, and I will resist that hope with all the strength I can muster.

This is troubling, and sad. And frightening. The U.S. liberals' ideals are far more holding to "knowing" they are "correct". The worst traits in their political draw include baiting the least fortunate (as evidenced by the Clinton-era passing of the subprime mortgages for those who could barely afford them in good times, and only temporarily afford them at all), and their policy of big government and high taxes is far more fascist-leaning than the conservative (not Bush, the jackass, but real conservatives), smaller government and free markets political history.

Still, I cannot let worst-case scenarios affect me. I will be looking for more such similar posts, but others as well, not so troubling.

One never knows: we could be headed for another revolution, and it could be a socialist one. I know I am ripe for revolution, while fascism is not exactly the direction I want to go. I understand Naziism, the Holocaust, I've met victims. I am outraged by Darfur. I recall the USSR, unlike the kids who are so sure Obama's the "One". It all smells a bit like a friendly sort of fascism, which would be so fitting in this "cheerleader" culture we seem to embrace.

Keywording: Obama's dirty secrets or right wing assaults?

Fairly convinced at the moment that Obama will take the White House, I set myself to doing keyword searches to try to understand where things are going after January 2009. This conclusion comes to my regret as I have supported McCain for a broad group of reasons that have nothing to do with the BS this campaign has dumped in his lap, as far back into 1999.

Obama is overconfident, embraces inaction coated by colorful rhetoric (like Bill Clinton), and waits to drop his cards last. I don't like that, but I am perhaps going to have to live with it. So I figure I'd better try to figure out the deeper influences on this professional politician with hardly any real leadership experience who cannot even clearly express his reasons for attending a church for 20 years.

Thankfully, he has smarts, but that is only the wild card; I hope he has the humility and philosophical vibe to be more Kennedy than Clinton, more Eisenhower than GW Bush, more Reagan than Carter.

We'll see how this goes.
