You whine so much about the so-called “liberal media” that you forget that
a) Its their job to ASK QUESTIONS and present FACTS
b) Those FACTS almost always point out the lack of morals, integrity, honesty or rational thought in republican policies, positions, or rhetoric.

There’s a whole bunch of us that just laugh and laugh when we hear you guys whine about “liberal media.” Its too funny to think of you whining about news people presenting honest facts, and comparing that reality to, say, reporting from FoxNews or the Hippo of Hypocrisy, Rush Limbaugh.

We prefer critical thinking and rational thought.

He was actually *ARGUING* the point that Obama has more experience because he has actually spent the past year and a half trying to go abroad gaining experiences in other countries…useful for foreign policy and the like.

Thoughts?

So, if I go and spend a weekend in the Bahamas, it makes me qualified to be Ambassador to the Bahamas?

That is true. It seems that the liberal media is just making themselves look bad in their classless attempts to make Sarah Palin look bad.

This reminds me of when I started college at a liberal secular university. I had no idea what my political views were at the time. After a year of having Gay Pride festivals and other liberal indoctrunation shoved down my throat, I came home a conservative.

Wow, one more thing I thought I might bring up. I was listening to Mitch Album on the radio the other day (his radio station, WJR, is based in Detroit) speaking about how people are comparing the experience of both Barack Obama and Sarah Palin.

Thoughts?

I’ve read some user comments over at Townhall from those on the left and in the middle regarding the way that Governor Palin is being attacked in the media…mostly stating her ‘hypocrisy’, mostly connected with daughter (and, incidentally, thereby disproving the fact that teaching sexual abstinence works) and down syndrome’s son. They then typically go on as to how the Right are all a bunch of hypocrites and how we portray ourselves as the holy, beacons of light.

Ugh.

Speaking for myself as a ‘righter’, I can honestly say that I am no better than one person or the other than either on the right or the left….frankly, I’ve done some things that (in the words of Steve Brown) “would make your toes curl”. Only God is holy, and those made holy through the blood of his son, Jesus Christ.

However, I’m not sure if I have noticed this accusation of the left that the Right put themselves on the pedestals over others in the Repub camp, though there are usually exceptions to this rule.

I suppose they take a look at magnates like Limbaugh or Hannity that constantly tend to demonize those on the left and apply this to everyone in their camp; thus, they believe all right-wingers are like them: cutting and proud. I tend to agree with some of these claims, I guess; the two of them tend to be a bit on the extreme side and have healthy egos.

I don’t tend to give my opinions on political sites too often, so I hope some of this was coherent. Or, at the least, spelled correctly.

I do enjoy your blog, though, Cassy!

Anyway, any thoughts?

[...] Cassy Fiano on the media claiming that McCain is playing the “sexism” card: There’s a good reason the media and the left have been attacking Sarah Palin so viciously: they’re terrified. They’ve resorted to lying, to demonizing and attacking her seventeen-year-old daughter, making stories up about her four-month-old son… anything they can do to scare and intimidate her. Too bad for the media that Sarah Palin doesn’t seem like the type to be easily intimidated. But, they’re outraged because there’s this conservative woman who is brilliant, tough and principled, all the while raising a big family and sticking to her values, that they never approved. If Sarah Palin was “Steve” Palin, these attacks wouldn’t be happening. But, Sarah Palin lit the country on fire, and no one had permission to do that except Barack Obama. So, the media is outraged. They see themselves as the real gatekeepers to the White House. They’re the ones who get to decide elections. And they didn’t give their permission to John McCain to choose Sarah Palin. The only solution for them is to attack Sarah Palin in some of the lowest and most despicable ways. [...]

As someone else said on another blog, McCain is inside the Obama Camp’s OODA loop…

Obama’s people are striking at where McCain WAS, while McCain is striking for where they will be in a moment. Steps ahead…

It’s like Atwater came back.
