The Media Contradicts Itself Again
How many times have we heard that Obama needs to go after Clinton to gain in the polls. Then when he does, certain people attack him for it...WTF?

1. Diversity.
In this case, of opinion.

It's the same when conservatives try to paint all dems with the same brush: All you liberals can't stand a strong military. And it's the same when liberals/progressives try to paint repubs with the same brush: None of you people don't care about the poor.

I've known dems that wanted a strong military and those that wanted it reduced to a kind of civil defense force. I've known repubs that were too busy being rich to care about the poor and repubs that spent a lot of time helping out in soup kitchens.

4. No doubt, they are doing some good in the soup kitchens ... BUT
I wonder how many go back and inflate their "hourly wage estimate" for the intangibles they can deduct for charity on their taxes? Volunteering only costs time, not $$$ ...

2. The fact that they mention how Obama needs to go after Clinton to gain in polls...
...is fine with me.

They launched the idea in people's minds with an alternative to the "coronation". They'll fill in the blanks. Obama can just continue bringing out his own message at this point.

3. Mainstream media is not your friend. It's a propaganda machine. nt
