2. The MSM are all biased against all Democrats.
It's been that way since at least 1992.

3. The only time I've ever seen him this fired up was when he...
...was coming to the rescue of that female child abuser he has a massive crush on!

22. That's because he makes the distinction between the hate and vil
spewed by the MSM toward Hillary and the FREE PASS on the other candidate.

4. Elliot Abrams cousin Dan has a soft spot for Clintons.
The quiet sweeping of all IranContra's outstanding matters under the oval office rug for Poppy Bush and his operatives like Elliot Abrams should explain why.

Didn't work out well for the party or this country though, did it?

Notice that nobody else bothered to comment on the fact that Elliot is likely responsible for the deaths of what, 500,000 or more people in the last 25 years?
Nah, its easier to talk about how bitchin Dan is....

36. Yes, even E. J. Dionne, who attacked Clinton the other day, admitted the media hatred
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 10:00 PM by marlonjose
Even in this hit piece by E. J. Dionne from the Washington Post, he admitted the following:

Let's grant the Clintons their claims: The press is tougher on Hillary Clinton than it is on Barack Obama; the old, irrational Clinton hatred is alive and well in certain parts of the media; Hillary Clinton gets hit harder when she criticizes Obama than Obama does when he goes after her.


And the NY Times may have endorsed Clinton, but it has Dowd, Rich, Herbert and Brooks ready to attack Clinton every single day.

Clinton is the media's nemesis and it's not even close. Edwards was hated too. But Obama? They love him.

45. Very true and welcome...that's the problem if BO gets the nom...
...he is getting such a free pass now he won't know what hit him in the GE when the media decides it will let the Repukes go after him...just look how defensive and whiny he gets over any criticism. He will implode big-time.

15. Murdoch endorsed Obama (NY Post - also owns Fox News) as being less of a worry to the right
http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/postopinion.htm


POST ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA


January 30, 2008 -- Democrats in 22 states across America go to the polls next Tuesday to pick between two presidential prospects: Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

We urge them to choose Obama - an untried candidate, to be sure, but preferable to the junior senator from New York.<snip>

For all his charisma and his eloquence, the rookie senator sorely lacks seasoning: Regarding national security, his worldview is beyond naive; America must defend itself against those sworn to destroy the nation.

His all-things-to-all-people approach to complicated domestic issues also arouses scant confidence. "Change!" for the sake of change does not a credible campaign platform make. But he remains a highly intelligent man, with a strong record as a conciliator.<snip>

Finally, Sen. Clinton stands philosophically far to the left of her husband, and is much more disciplined in pursuit of her agenda.<snip>

44. The whole endorsement reads like a hit piece on Obama not an endorsement.
It's written to push the left AWAY from Obama and towards Hillary, thus the comments about her being further left than Bill.

Nice water-carrier Mr. Abrams is. Even his guests disagreed with him.

39. its about time
all they have done is call the clintons calculated, self serving. Um THEY CARE ABOUT AMERICA. Why would they devote their lives to the working class, and all americans. If they only cared about money and power they'd be republicans.
