Citizen: Are you an American citizen? If not, too bad - you're a better one than a lot of the ones we've got around here ('Crapter, Hero, Finn, Havoc...)
And don't you know that it's different when it's McCain's guy who's spewing the hatred? Just ask any Republican - "When YOUR guy's friend does it, it's because you hat America and love terrorists; when OUR guy's pastor does it, it's because he simply misspoke. Don't you understand? It's DIFFERENT!"
So Obama waiting so long to distance himself from Wright proves that Obama secretly agrees with Wright's views. On the other hand, McCain's actively seeking out Hagee's endorsement in no way shows any approval of his radical views.
Some of those views, which Hagee is still spewing to this day, and which McCain still hasn't done a thing to disavow:
- Hitler's rise to power in Europe was a good thing, because it allowed the creation of Israel so that the Book of Revelation could unfold as intended. (Texas Senator John Cornyn was on stage with him for this one, and likewise has said nothing to distance himself from this viewpoint)
- The Catholic Church is the "great whore of the world". That should come as a great comfort to the Hispanic voters, without whom McCain is dead in the water.
- Katrina happened because New Orleans deserved it, because there was a plan to hold a Gay Pride parade in the city.
But, y'know... it's DIFFFERENT when he says it...
It always is, right?

Do you even try to stay topical anymore? Or is every new thread just a new opportunity for you to attack certain Posters?

And, no sooner than I wrote this, McCain disavowed Hagee and rejected his endorsement. Thank you for that, Senator.

20 + yrs is anything but a "tenuous" relationship, citizen. C'mon now, stop the spinning. You'll get dizzy in no time at that rate. And Wright's comments are worse than you think, but you don't even want to acknowledge that anyways.
The majority of the U.S. media is utterly beholden to the Left wing, and only FOX comes close to getting things right (accurate)
Hagee and Parsley ? Irrelevant, as you are fond of saying.
Bush never said Iraq was an imminent threat, but that we should act BEFORE it becomes one. I'm absolutely sure of this. I think it's undeniable there WERE WMD in Iraq, but they were spirited away to Syria before we got there. And even if not, Saddam planned on reconstituting his WMD program, once the U.N. was out of his hair, so it's clear, he wasn't going to play by the rules.
There's no evidence was playing on anyone's fears. He was acting in a prudent, responsible manner.
Actually, the Gore, Durbin, Murtha points were to show them, Democrats, being un-American. I proved that point rather conclusively, thank you.
Bush said you're either with us, AMERICANS, or you're with the terrorist, those who attacked us on 9/11. I still agree w/ that statement.
If you're referring to Halliburton, then Clinton is their buddy too. He used them , in no bid contracts, as often as Bush. It's a moot point to claim Bush started this war so Halliburton could reap some sort of mega windfall fortune. As is the case w/ the military contracts, the outcome does not automatically condemn those companies who are best capable to take on the jobs. Sorry, such conspiracy claims simply don't hold water.

Nope. Not me. I've stayed on topic and avoided attacking anyone through this entire thread.
But thanks for thinkin' of me.... I suppose.

It's been done so many times, it's a futile gesture.
*edit* Oh, all right.
Dan Rather and his faked ( but accurate ) documents on Bush
Chris Mathews - Democrat
Tim Russert - Democrat
George Stephenopoulos - Democrat
Almost every major news paper - Liberal
CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC = Liberal.

THE ultra liberal Stephonopolis that got his very debate questions straight from Hannity's mouth?
THE very New York Times that had one of the most influential collemns leading up to the war, written by Judith Miller?, and withheld information about illegal wire-taps for a whole year before breaking the story? Keeping it safe until after election time?
You can keep bothering to try to conflate "liberal" with "democrat", but sadly the two aren't synonymous Auraptor. Aside of the rampant scandals, the blatant hypocracy and the sheer outrageous style in which the GOP goes about ripping off the American people with a straight face, corporate democrats...the DLC, specifically those players most often lambasted by the right, from Pelosi to Reid to Clinton, just aren't that fucking different in terms of policy. Believe me, they do not vote like liberals.
..................
I'll give you this. The closest thing to having a liberal news media outlet on tv is MSNBC. It has definitely swung to the middle and maybe even left of it. That I admit freely. Of course that could just mean they've decided to start reporting honestly. As Colbert said, "truth has a well known liberal bias."
More likely though(because what big corporation cares about truth really), is that people weren't hearing this kind of voice anywhere else, and that those looking for soemthing they could relate to, or that made sense in the universe, gravitated to Olbermann. I remember his show 4 years ago. It didn't sound like it does now. He has been emboldened over time with ratings he got for the little hint of integrity that we felt he imbued into the tv news spectrum.
I guess MSNBC finally decided they had something there. Keep in mind though that MSNBC was the one to cancel Donahue when he had good ratings, but was talking about the lead up to the war and how it was a bad idea. Maybe parent company GE didn't like that so much. I wonder how well their own war profiteering went.
But I could name as many and more sources that are conservative. Lou Dobbs(hates Bush and Liberals)
Glenn Beck, Bill O'reilley, John Gibson, Sean Hannity, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, Tim russert(oh was he on your list?) Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanon, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Laura Ingram, lets just say "nearly all talk radio and cable news outlets" how am I doing?
We could go around like this all day.
I still think it would make more sense for you to look at why you think a media outlet run by of all things GE, would choose to sway the public's opinion in a liberal direction.

Because George played grown up once by asking a legit question, you dismiss his work for Clinton's 1st campaign and his time in the Clinton White House? Really? Wow.
The NY Times which has participated in treasonous actions, releasing stories which the White House specifically asked it NOT to release ( the SWIFT program )
Olbermann isn't driven by any sense of duty, truth in reporting or obligation to " tell it like it is ", this clown is nothing more than a self absorbed prima dona,
Of your list of personalities,Glenn Beck, Bill O'reilley, , Sean Hannity, Tim russert(oh was he on your list?) Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanon, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Laura Ingram, NONE of them are news anchors. They're entertainers. As for news papers, it'd be easier for me to post the ones NOT Left wing slanted than to list all the ones which were. And spare me this straw man of who owns the news makes them 'Right-wing'. It simply isn't the case , where you have liberal editors, liberal reporters, and liberal anchors.
And yes, Tim Russert is on my list of Libs ,as he's definatly no conservative.
Those who I'd say are the most credible are Gibson and ( Chris ) Wallace.
