I look around the msm, nationally and local, and all I hear are attacks against Obama on every fricken ignorant issue that can be imagined. It's Bizaro time in America, and damn it, it gets old.

I don't know what the answer is. It seems like the Republicans must have a group of right wing nuts sitting around their offices making shit up and then spewing it out to the msm. And of course, the msm picks it up, like faithfull lap dogs and goes with it. It's all just so damn negative on Obama.

Maybe the Dems need to do the same thing. Get a bunch of loosers together in some think tank somewhere, make up shit, and then spew it to the msm. I don't know. I just don't know.

23. Every candidate expects this, and they are prepared.
But if saying "I told you so" makes you fell warm and fuzzy live it up.

25. It doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy
It just confirms my fears. I hope Obama is up to the job since he seems to be wrapping up the nomination process, but a flag pin should not be causing this kind of flap.

4. They will do the same thing to Hillary and Barrack
it wasn't that long ago that ABC produced their pseudo documentary on 9/11 which implied Bill Clinton was responsible

The truth is that Iraq was based on a lie, and 4000 Americans are dead because of that lie, over 25000 Americans are wounded because of that lie, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqiis are dead because of that lie

If that is patriotism, then they can go to hell, because that is what they have created

6. That happens all the time to the front runner! It won't go away after he's
elected either. You're going to have to learn how to deal with it.

14. Oh we've got the losers allright. It's just that the MSM never picks up our stuff.
This site and other lefty sites regularly report scandalous (and true) stuff about the GOP that America should really know about but the MSM ignores us no matter how popular our sites are. But let some obscure wingnut blog with 30 hits a day post some bullshit abour one of ours, the MSM is all over it like wildfire, helping it to go viral.

16. Buy the O-man a tube o' lube.
This isn't "being fucked". It's foreplay.

I ought to gloat the same way some of the Obama supporters are gloating over Hillary's misfortunes. But being a Democrat, I get about 500 milliseconds of schadenfreude before the reflex to defend my fellow Democrats sets in.

Such is politics. Thank gawd Hillary has a tougher hide than I do, and Barack has more money than John McCain.

18. You want bizao time....
take a look at the obama supporters who are ignoring the fact that he's trying to swiftboat Univeral Health Care. Who wants to hold hands with the folks across the aisle who have spent the last 7 years destroying this country. Supporters who are willing to say and do anything to win because it's all a friggin' game to them.

Go cry somewhere else.

20. You mean like Hillary got fucked for years?
Ah, but then St. Obama painted Hillary as "polarizing" for it. Think about that.

Barack Obama painted himself in a corner with that deceptive strategy--No sympathy here.

21. The MSM fuck people for money.
That's why we call 'em whores--'cause they aren't honest enough to be termed prostitutes.

22. Welcome to the real world......
It's not like we didn't tell you this would happen. The MSM thinks Obama has sewn up the nomination and now they will come gunning for him. I hope you enjoyed the free ride he has had while it lasted.

26. They've been doing it all along. And yes, Hilly has gotten every advantage.
Hilly is the MSM's Dem candidate of choice. They may prefer a puke (dunno about McCain, they probably had Romney in mind), but Hillary may as well be a GOP ringer if she isn't one in fact because she's in the pocket of big business, and that includes the media.

Fortunately, they haven't yet been able to take out Obama with their tricks.
