Obama shows that dismissing slimy right-wing attacks is not difficult »
Posted By ameliog 1 year, 8 months ago in NewsBy far, the most significant pattern in how our political discourse is shaped is that the right-wing noise machine generates scurrilous, petty, personality-based innuendo about Democratic candidates, and the establishment press then mindlessly repeats it and mainstreams it.

"Obamas-ar... slur travel in the blink of an eye from the Jack Kingstons, Fox News adolescent McCarthyites, and Bill Kristols of the world to AP, MSNBC, and CNN. That's just how the right-wing/media nexus works.
AP, MSNBC, and CNN right wing????? that's a first........
this is the first time I have ever heard Chris Mathews, Tom Brokaw, Tim Russett, Keith Obermann, Wolf Blitzer, Larry King and all ever described as members of the right wing media......you all need to get some perspective here, but what can you expect from Salon.Com
more Obama apologists BS

One of the reasons I voted for Obama is that I don't understand why the right wing hates Hillary. However rather than trying to understand it, I accept that if she were to be the nominee many Republicans would come out to vote against her - rather than vote for their nominee. I was at a family gathering this past weekend. One of my cousins is a conservative Republican. I asked him why you guys hate her so much. The response I got was "anyone but Hillary". I asked why again, but got no response. I think it's just a programmed knee jerk reaction. I actually think she is a decent person and would be a good President, but I don't want to take the chance on getting another Republican in the White House
You're correct - Hillary went negative. I don't like that. I also think that Obama will be great as President. I only hope he can bring a clear majority to the house and Senate when he wins in November

This article is right on target. I'm so proud of the Political Left for always taking the moral high ground. I'm certain I'd be able to go onto sites like Huffington Post and Democratic Underground and find a complete absence of baseless, inflammatory, personality-based insults and/or smears of Republican politicians.
I'm so sure...I'm not even going to go check. It's just a matter of the faith I have that the Democrats, Progressives, and Lefties would never stoop so low.
Sniff...sniff...I'm just so durn proud of 'em.

WHY do interviewers never ask these fear mongers this one simple question:
Terrorists were planning an attack against the U.S.before 9/11. Intelligence communities all over the world managed to figure it out, and even pinned it down to the use of planes. Our intelligence community passed this information on to the bush administration. All done WITHOUT the use of illegal wiretapping. Why is it now the ONLY way to figure out terrorist activity?
My gawd. Does no one think any more? If the obscene bush administration had done its job, 9/11 would not have happened. If the obscene bush administration had LISTENED to the warnings that our intelligence agencies were fractured and not sharing information, the agents who found the terrorists learning to fly wouldn't have been ignored. If the obscene bush administration had LISTENED and ACTED, 9/11 wouldn't have happened. It was all right there in front of their noses. All without illegal wiretaps.
