LA Times Revives Obama Smear
Does being friends with Palestinians make one anti-Israel? Peter Wallsten of the LA Times apparently thinks so. His latest piece about Barack Obama's past ties to pro-Palestinian activists in Chicago is certainly meant to give the reader that impression.

1. Last night they were talking about Jimmy Carter going to visit Palestine and talk to Hamas
And then referred back to Obama. Y'all remember Obama said he would meet with anyone whom is considered our enemy without conditions like Castro(which pissed off Cubans in South Florida), Iran, Syria, etc. Well, now that Jimmy Carter is going to Palestine next week, reporters are saying Obama is disagreeing with Carter. They said he disagrees with Carter in an around about way without directly denouncing Carter for making the trip. I got the idea they were trying to say Obama was flip-flopping on his previous statements, like he said in a previous debate.

2. I sent MSNBC a ltr the other day criticizing them on their coverage as it
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 09:00 AM by EV_Ares
seems to me they along with CNN do their thing about planting things in peoples' heads to try & get them to think a certain way. Like last night they were talking about Obama's comment on people being bitter (which certainly is true). Hillary & McCain tries to attack the comment and CNN was going on like the comment was going to hurt Obama with the public. One of the spokesman was correct when he said this was not an issue but one of them trying to making it a spin. They would have to wait and see what the publics reaction would be.

This is my point and what I told them where I was tired of them always saying what I thought or others as how do they know and they should quit saying this is going to hurt so and so with the people because they are the only ones trying to make something out of nothing.

Sorry about the rant.
