Who is the 'racist'? Who is the 'bigot'?
Who is the bully, poking fun at others?
"Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame, I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."
_ Barack Obama, Thursday, February 24, 2005

Most Japanese support a US presence. I'm guessing that's why we are still in Japan.

Most of the world outside the United States, if fortunate enough to be online, probably already feels 'Americanized' enough - though they are loathe to admit it was usually by choice. I understand why when they get online the last thing they want is the reminder that it was the US that made the internet possible, and that it is the US that they look to, for what's new and cutting edge.

Actually, if you want proof of the institutional media bias how about the same LA Times taka wants us to check ===
"All of this prompted Investors Business Daily to publish a trenchant op-ed by William Tate that reported on his examination of Federal Election Commission records for donations by journalists.
You'll never guess what he says he found -- 235 journalists donating to Democrats while only 20 gave to Republicans for a total of $225,563 to Democrats and $16,298 to the the GOP-inclined.
...
Last summer Bill Dedman at MSNBC did a massive research project, examining political donations by journalists over several years and found a similar overwhelming number of Democratic journalists (125 of 143 political donors while only 16 gave to Republican candidates and two others were bi-."

What's a 'winger'?
You must be canadian. American 'liberals' will most often agree that the media favors their candidates. They consider it proof of their superior worldview.
The Chomsky-ite Far Left though is much more likely to believe as you do.

Great link, taka.
I guess if Obama loses you can blame the media for the pro-2nd Amendment, pro-FISA,pro-offshore drilling, pro-war, pro-occupation stance he adopted and alienated the Democrat base with.
It'll be like going back to November of 2000!, when it was an article of faith on the Left that the corporate media delivered the election to Bush/Cheney.

Polls show the majority (66%) of Americans (who cares what Europe or canada thinks...) believe the McCain ad was not racist or offensive. In fact, it is Obama who Americans think is playing the race card.

Know what you mean, bro. Democrats and 'liberals' were pretty nasty to Lieberman during the whole Ned Lamont thing. Yes, the centrum of anti-Semitism in America is now firmly on the Left but I reckon they're desperate here.Camp Obama should think about going with Lieberman.

Human nature. People come to despise their benefactors, in this case the nation that basically invented the internet.
And of course as long as America is numero uno there will always be that reflexive, unadulterated, soul-destroying envy...

Since polls are so popular here maybe we should let Rasmussen have the last word:
"Sunday, August 03, 2008
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the nation’s voters say they’ve seen news coverage of the McCain campaign commercial that includes images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and suggests that Barack Obama is a celebrity just like them. Of those, just 22% say the ad was racist while 63% say it was not.
However, Obama’s comment that his Republican opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like all the other presidents on dollar bills was seen as racist by 53%. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree. "

There's not much to debate. Senator Obama is pro-2nd Amendment, he has continually approved financing for the liberation of Iraq, he has completely flip flopped on offshore drilling, and he crumpled on FISA like a rag doll. His only hope is to pick Lieberman for his V-p.

I really like that one. Especially when it comes from the same people who insist Bush hoodwinked Congress, the UN, our allies and the American public.
What is Sen. Obama afraid of?
The only thing that explains his reluctance is all the flip flops he has made these last two months. It's not McCain that Obama fears, it's all the 'liberal' saps who supported him,donated buckets o cash, and have watched with horror as their hero veered right these last couple of months. He's Pro-gun, supports the death penalty, funds the war, greenlights FISA, and most recently Obama wants to drill.
What's there to debate?

Where in this article is there any mention of MLK? I can't seem to find it...
But the little game you and the poster betzee like to play looks like fun---
Maybe Barack Hussein Obama, most liberal voting record in the Senate, doesn't want to debate because he is afraid Sen McCain will ask why his staff won't release his birth certificate, his university records, his full medical report or even the client list of the law firm where he worked part time.
How am I doing?
