Another reason why I take refuge here

I happen to find this while surfing the net. Talk about media bias.


Black Democrats Call for Bush to Dump Rove in Wake of Leak Disclosure

Date: Wednesday, July 13, 2005
By: Monica Lewis, BlackAmericaWeb.com

When it comes to George W. Bush’s political accomplishments, Karl Rove has been praised for his role in making everything fall into place. Lauded for his genius, Rove has been called the mastermind behind Bush’s much-debated 2000 victory over then-Vice President Al Gore and his virtual cakewalk over Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry last fall.

Here's the rest of the article:http://www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/bawnews/karlrove713

And some dumb nut posted this: Good points. So my question, then, is why couldn't Sen. Kerry articulate that while running for President? Sharpton tried to but he was ignored.

I am sorry, but as a minority, I am sick of all this second-guessing, playa hating on Kerry. And I like Rev. Al, but I don't remember him saying that Kerry ignored him.

1. Geez, and REv. Al got paid for his efforts
Imagine what he would be saying if the checks had bounced.

I shudder to think.

3. "can't even find the leaker in the WH"
He did make it an issue. Maybe the black media's reporting is as bad as the rest. :shrug:

Preoccupation with gossip and what Bill Cosby said. That "cakewalk" remark is false.

6. That was no cakewalk. Bush needed the media working overtime to keep him
propped up. They needed to rig machines all over the country. They needed to invent a group like Swift bets to undermine Kerry. And especially AFTER the DEBATES which Kerry won DECISIVELY each time. They needed to suppress the black vote and the college vote un crucial states.

If it was a cakewalk, then why did they need so much duplicity?

Answer them with the truth.
