It’s obvious his tack is to try and hide in plain sight. He accuses McCain of exactly what he himself does. Here’s a short list of Oslime-a’s accusations…..

1) McCain is neck deep with Fannie and Freddie people
2) McCain fought for the policies that created the mortgage mess. Oslime-a is the one who wants all Americans, regardless of income to own a home. He repeats this on the stump every day. He wants money to bail out the same people who couldn’t afford, and should not have been allowed, to purchase a home.
3) McCain is part of the Washington culture of corruption. Yet, just moments before he admitted that McCain has never asked for earmarks.

That is as far as I could watch. Oslime-a is so full of crap, little balls of doo-doo roll out of his mouth when ever he opens it.

I feel sorry for those poor misguided sheeple that were cheering him on in his obfuscation of reality. It was pathetic to watch.

They truly do not understand conservatives– or anyone who lives between the two coasts– at all. How in the world could they possibly expect to govern?

As I watched him throughout the primaries, I was very taken in by him at first. I knew I would never vote for him, but did think he was a person of integrity.

Now that I know so much more about him, and I have seen how he operates, I can’t even stand to see or hear him anymore.
I used to joke with a friend “Look away from the light!” as she was similar to me in our initial reactions to him. I don’t have to do that anymore, familiarity has bred contempt.

Is this illegal or no?

That seems to have been their tithes for a singular year. Can’t remember which but it wasn’t this year.

It feels that way.

They are actively infantilizing Obama. Their paternalism has gotten disgusting and dare I say it, racist, via their complete unwillingness to treat Obama like a man capable of fighting his own battles on his own terms. If anybody’s mean to whiny baby Obama on the playground his army of media mommies steps in to protect “their” fragile little snowflake.

But of course Obama is more than happy to be treated like a child. So it’s win-win for all of them I guess.

Politico is like the rest of the media: they don’t even see their liberal bias. Yes, they are a bit fairer, but it’s articles like this that give it away.

The Politico allows unmoderrated (for the most part) comments, which I think helps offset their political bias.

Flake Crapper, I mean Jake Tapper, with his ABC blog, edits out comments that go against his column. CNN often closes comments by the time the stories get linked to sites like Hot Air. New York Times just loves not allowing comments.

How could anyone who sat in Rev. Wright’s church and who donated $20,000 to him, lecture ANYONE on a post-racial America? Obama took his daughters to a church where racial hatred is preached.

Instead, his aides have steered clear of any explicit discussion of racial inequality or of his pioneering campaign as they try to woo swing voters, some of whom may be discomfited by the notion of the first black president.

For the record Obama wouldn’t be the first black president, he’d be the first multi-racial president. It’s a distinction that the media and Obama conveniently forget. Were it a multi-racial Republican candidate, however, the narrative would be completely different in the media with all sorts of talk about the candidate not really being black.

The “post-partisan” candidate — whose voting record shows that he has voted with the Democratic party 97% of the time.

The “reformer” who is the protege of the most corrupt political machine in the nation — and who has never once challenged that corrupt Chicago machine but has instead willingly used it and benefitted from it.

The “post-racial” candidate who has spent his entire life being obsessed with race and racial identity — as evidenced by his autobiographies, his 20-year membership in a racist, Black Liberation Theology church, and his political career (for example, as head of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge [the purpose of which was to improve public school education in Chicago], Obama authorized $200,000.00 for a “Juneteenth” [freeing of slaves] celebration, but denied funding for a program to improve students’ algebra skills).

I’ve never understood why “conservative” pundits have given politico so much credibility so quickly and judge them objective.

It’s not that the Politico is conservative, it’s that they are the MSM’s biggest ass kisser, (with a few bones thrown to the conservative punditry), so that they get a lot of mention on air, etc.

They do in fact get the most mention on TV.

As I said, the Politico keeps the MSM’s anal bacteria count below the legal limit.

GO SARAH!

UPDATE: From the 2004 election, a warning about “black blog ops” that’s seeming kinda prescient.

Good comment about the media; it seems they’re perfecting a template to see how far they can go with their coverage. If it works for them this year, you can only expect it to get even worse in the future.
