a snippit ...

It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.
The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”
Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”
Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

You are talking about the biggest liars in the world - the Reverend before his name tells you he is a liar, it's his job.

"Grandstanding".......sheesh ..... and "give it a rest"? It's the degradation of what used to be the best nation on the planet. It's evident you don't give a flip, and you want someone to apologize for pointing that out? No thanx.

I agree with strat on this one. The MSM has a very sordid history of manipulation and dishonesty immediately after a major event like this (Zimmerman is another recent example). They should be called out on it immediately. In a lightly used Internet forum where political discussions are hidden by default, and where only a few trolls tread, the attack on Strat's timing rings hollow.

Yeah, you're right.

A dozen people lay in a morgue and dozens of others in hospital beds but the real tragedy was that some reporter that works for a network that stratdood doesn't like made a comment a political group that he identifies with.

The fact that he had no issue with breitbart.com posting that the shooter was a registered Democrat or that Laura Ingraham invited a guest who claimed that the shooter was a Occupy Wall Street member doesn't change a thing.

Yeah, stratdood is a mindless partisan. That's a different discussion, IMO, and does nothing to invalidate his point (that you legitimately show is partisan in scope).

You make an emotional appeal in your second sentence that reads suspiciously like something violin would vomit on the stoop. Did I miss the memo?

The lamestream/state run/progressive meadia is guilty of sedition. They are completely corrupt and have no journalistic integrity whatsoever. You should be ashamed to teach your children that it's ok to lie in order to get your way, that the ends justify any means. it's disgusting. I'm ashamed of them. They bring shame to us all. Americans are sick of it which is why all of their ratings and/or subscriptions are in the tank.

"The lamestream/state run/progressive meadia is guilty of sedition."


Fuax News even slammed Willard over his lame-O world tour.

I know that strat was pissing his pants when Obama went over there. #&%!$, strat was so bent that he was claiming that the world was going to end.



What?



Huh?



He says that every, single day?



Ummmmm.




Well, I do know that he was very upset because he claimed that Obama was playing up the world to get elected at home. Strat made all kinds of claims of what Obama was up to.


Now Romney goes over there, reminds all of the European leaders of that Bush II years, and made them tankful that Obama is President.

Romney is nothing more than the Republican version of John Kerry with the brain of Bush II.
