Americans saw it and those that voted for Obama said I don’t care. Remember the line in the movie Gladiator?

“He is smarter than I thought. Rome is the mob. He will bring them death. And they will love him for it.”

But the real solution to the problem is not to let Democrats select our candidate as they did with McCain. If we had kept the votes of those who voted for Bush but stayed home for McCain, we would have won. We need candidates who will bring those folks back. I did not see a single one who could have done it in 2008.

On the other hand, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Bush in ’04, but voted for McCain precisely because nothing which BHO has done has been a surprise for me. I knew who I was voting against.

I truly cannot keep up. The flip flops are astounding, I keep a running diary in word pad and it’s exhausting. Thinking in my retirement years (and they may be closer than I think as I am in manufacturing) I will go to it like a dog to a bone.

The esteemed Reverend took off for a sabbatical in Africa during this time frame, essentially disappearing.

The MSM bias prepares groundwork for election night [will you take the: The "Pretend you're a Liberal MSM reporter (and Spin the story)" Challenge] coupled with so many sheeple Voting Psychology (Bandwagon and other effects) coupled with trends BLUE-ism (hopefully, this is the brink of the pendulum coming back the other way) and then on top of that the fraud - and I don't just mean from the ACORN side but the Liberals engrained in the Precinct by precinct voting locations structures, Judges prepared to aid Blue areas hold polls open longer or just plain steal votes (MN disctrict by district different standards), and what I now call Early- (and the new Late-) Voting trends

The GOP will never again be a majority party until we address the media problem. The ones who control information are extremely powerful in influencing elections, and therefore, policy.

The 2008 elections saw a new level of bias in the media that rivals the bias in the state-control medias of totalitarian states. Until the GOP finds a way around this, we have no real chance of convincing middle America to vote for us.

Sorry bart, their memories don’t go back that far. So they can’t even comprehend the question let alone begin to answer it. As far as they are concerned, whatever policy The Big 0 is currently advocating/implementing has always been the policy he supported.

Everyone knew that Obama sat in that vile HateAmericaChurch where the congregation cheers racism and anti-Americanism and where they honor the worst racist in America, a man Obama always called “Minister” Farrakhan. So this new revelation even if known during the campaign surely wouldn’t have moved those that chose to overlook his flaws and hope they could rid themselves of white guilt.

The cure will be his ownership of the deep recession we are in and will stay in for years, beginning to be punctuated by inflation and high int rates.

agree?

but the obvious related question for Obama supporters now is : “Why reject Wright’s views, then implement them?

Here in Tennessee, Gov. Bredesen just announced that in spite of accepting bailout money, state workers are going to be laid off anyway. In California, I heard somewhere the other day that tens of thousands of teachers are going to be laid off. It’s only a matter of time before they discover that their pension funds are taking major hits by having bank failures, and by having companies go under, not to mention the hits that the market has taken. And will continue to take. I don’t believe for a millisecond that this economy has hit bottom. Not by a long shot.

(fewer by the way) are teachers and state workers. Somwhere along in their lives hey have learned to filibuster. I say this article or any revealing article or device Obama is enacting, and they say, w/o pause ‘THAT’S NOT TRUE–
He is not doing that at all. You are wrong or mistaken.”they don’t listen or think at all.
There is NO basis even for a discussion…. Also they want this goverment. My friends are totally insulated from the economy. The best healthcare, the best salaries,the best benefits, never any cloud will darken their door. So they can enjoy,yes enjoy the thumb being stuck in the establishment’s eye. Still fighting mom-and-dad…

And, we have plenty of evidence to back us up. Lots of stuff we can point to as justification for our conclusion.

Yes, conclusion. You come to a conclusion after you’ve looked at lots of evidence. That should be our position: We conclude that the MSM is biased, based on this evidence.

Let the MSM argue, convincingly, otherwise.

One of the MSM’s center of gravity is its credibility. It is also a weakness of theirs. If you hammer, again and again, at something that’s critical to your opponent, eventually your opponent is weakened.

We have more than a year until the next set of Congressional primaries, to hammer away…

Why would they blow the whistle on someone who they knew would help them achieve their singular goal of making this country more like Europe? They wanted a country that wasn’t identified first as Christian, then one that didn’t have a strong military, then one that applauds abortion as right and necessary, then one that doesn’t celebrate the American tradition of working hard and making lots of money to do with as one sees fit. Most of all they wanted an America that subscribes to their viewpoint of multiculturalism and moral equivalency.

With Obama, they got the whole package. What’s not to like from their point of view?

…the last presidential campaign demonstrated it’s new found version of the Three Monkeys style of reporting, vis a vis the Democratic Party, “See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Do no Evil”, while sending entire divisions of reporters to Anchorage and Phoenix to sabotage the opposition’s campaigns,
Lead by the High Priest (Priestess?) of Same Gander Marriage over at the NYT, the media was so desperate to elect a Liberal to the Presidency that they totally overlooked THE OBAMBI’s almost completely anti American record.

That part of this diary I don’t by that for a minute.

Too many on this site give the Press the benefit of the doubt. They shouldn’t.

I have *zero* doubt that the Press in fact knew about stuff like this meeting and *purposely* buried the stories.

I think they’ve been *actively* conspiring to help Obama since Day #1.

It’s not negligence – it’s *conspiracy*.

Complicit in this deception is the mainstream media, which clearly was not paying close enough attention to Obama to know of the meeting. Considering the intensity of the Wright story and the Democratic primary, the meeting would have been blockbuster news. Somehow, Obama was able to meet with the most controversial figure in the campaign, on the cusp of two critically important primaries, at his home, and not one media outlet reported on it.

Stories that threated to harm O were starved of oxygen. Another example: Obama’s promise that his adminstration would cause any new coal plant to be bankrupted. He said that to the SF Chronicle, which serves a community that doesn’t use much (if any) coal-generated power. But much of our country DOES rely on coal-generated power.

Wouldn’t a real professional journalist on the SF Chronicle staff, someone really dedicated to the ideal of journalism seeking truth and holding politicians accountable, have picked up the phone, called his colleagues in Pittsburgh or Cincinatti or Cleveland and said “Have you seen this?”

Here’s one thing we can do to help our R candidates in the 2010 election: give them data points like this, that will reinforce a narrative of an MSM committed to Democratic politics.

A large majority of Americans already distrust our MSM. They think its reporting is biased and its correspondents to be juvenile. That mindset is already established. The MSM “brand,” so to speak, is already badly tarnished.

That makes it easier for us. We don’t need to “win over” the majority of Americans on this issue: they already agree with us.

Instead, we can now simply offer, consistently, examples like this that reinforce the meme of MSM bias.

The 2010 campaign should be against the MSM AND the Democrats. We’re in a good position to do just that.

In this case, we don’t have to go out and say “See! Obama and Wright WERE coordinating their stories!” I’ll bet most Americans would yawn when they heard that “revelation” Obama saying one thing in public and doing another thing in private sound like the Chicago Way—what’s new about that?

The angle we should pursue, IMO, is this:

Somehow, Obama was able to meet with the most controversial figure in the campaign, on the cusp of two critically important primaries, at his home, and not one media outlet reported on it.

and not one media outlet reported on it.

Why? Good question. Let’s ask the NYT and WaPo and Chicago Tribune and CNN and the major networks.

But, to be honest, we all know the answer. They were too strung out on Hopium.
