Has anyone been noticing how these talking head shows are...
putting on Republicons to discuss Democrats issues, and to top it off if there is usually three republicons against one Dem or maybe four if you count the host...

I was screaming at the television last night and then I thought why in the hell aren't they digging up any dirt on Hillary and why are they being so nice and giving her pointers on how to win against Obama..

I couldn't take it anymore and I know what they do I have been watching them for years and watching how they spin a story but,they are so afraid of Obama that they will do anything they are D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E!

2. They HAVE to make this look like a ONE POINT FINAL MINUTE
in some cliffhanger basketball game...

Joe sixpack is only interested in the playoff aspect...The facts mean NOTHING

It's all about ratings and revenue.

OR they have to go back to discussing Brittneys lack of panties on Sunset Strip.

the fucking pukes.

10. Do you think there was a sea change when Bush was first elected?
Or was I just imagining things? It seemed to me that the MSM suddenly became extremely conservative in its' opinions and very supportive of conservative leaders, including George W. Bush. Some people have mentioned that it began before that. Maybe it was the controversial "election" of Bush that made me take notice. What do you think?

13. If you have watched over these past eight years..
up was down and down was up and people who I use to think were dems began to show who they really were began to show there asses namely, Lieberman and Lanny Davis...

I also recall some stories that were posted that showed whose bread was being buttered and some of their family members were somehow connected to the bush admin...Remember who Carville is married to.

4. Notice how NONE of them say anything positive about their candidate?
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 05:47 PM by Lastlaughin08
I've said it before and I'll say it again - THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST - they did not get Ronald Reagan II - instead they are stuck with a mediocre candidate they barely support, let alone have anything good to say about.

And yes, they are scared shitless - even their Supreme Gasbag admits the House and Senate will be landslide for the dems.


:rofl: :rofl:

15. I also get so tired of them pulling out ...
some black talking head who is suppose to represent the black community and they have made this race about race by trying to attach Obama to everything and everyone in the black community as though he doesn't have friends and family in the white community..So does Obama have to speak to everything that every white person does?

16. I think it's harder for news shows to find black pundits who aren't for Obama....
...What you are saying is possibly true, but I also think it's hard for these shows to find black pundits who aren't for Obama. Pundits are mostly politcally savvy, and they are well aware of the bigot-pandering the Clintons have done.

18. Michelle Bernard is a GOP operative frequently on Hardball
Rarely introduced as a Conservative this AA woman has wormed her way into MSNBC election night coverage as a commentator. She works with Lynne Cheney and the like in her day job. She promoted Obama in February and March as a "concern troll" when that was helpful to the GOP and now is anti-Obama, pro-Clinton since that is the current RW strategy. Listen to her words if you want to know what the current RW talking points are.

19. I have been watching her if this is the one who Tweety ...
