This is an endorsement Obama may not be so happy to get. Maybe Hamas made the old Obama/Osama mistake? Anyway, here's the audio: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/04/020315.php
I wonder who will endorse Obama next? al Qada? North Korea? Perhaps a personal endorsement from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
Hell, why not ? it's not like he's gonna nuke em ? right ?. Seriously. Hamas was democratically elected. Get over it.
Well, so was Hitler but never mind. I dont think that this will have any great influence. None of the other "maybe he is not really a Christian" attcks did bite him.
Yeah they did. Cost him votes in Ohio, Texas, couple of other places. Someday maybe we'll discover if Hagee's and Parsley's endorsement of McCain, properly sensationalized with quotes about God wanting the US to bomb Iran and hurricanes smiting gay people and terrorists like McVeigh drawing support from affiliated groups, would cost McCain a few votes. I'm sure the fair and balanced news media will get right on it.
Sure they cost him, but nothing which could put him put out of the race. Lets see after today, this is quite exciting. Lets hope hope you will have a fair and balanced media.
Our Patriot Act has prevented their depredations of course, but there's lots of groups we could call terrorists with the proper media cooperation - like the stuff we're getting on Obama. Here's another way we could even the media coverage up a bit: let's have a three week discussion on whether the Vietnamese Communists brainwashed McCain when he was in prison, and are cooperating with the Chinese to plant him in the White House and betray his country. We could talk about his odd psychological quirks, analyze carefully chosen photos of him losing his temper in strange ways, interview his ex-wife on all the talk shows about the changes in his personality, ask him dozens of times in every interview whether he really remembers what happened to him, ask him to undergo a public CAT scan and EEG evaluation, fill the "news" programs with experts on hypnosis and brainwashing demonstrating all the scary things McCain could be made to do when he hears certain code words, etc etc etc - for weeks on end, this. Think it might cost him a few votes, here and there ?
Well since nothing like that has ever happened then it is most likely to be an exercise in stupidity. But really, what is your point?
Just an exercise in imagination - what would balanced coverage of the candidates look like, given the past few months of Obama coverage ? Hamas endorses Obama, an Obama delegate hoaxes the Texas and W administration police, Obama went to a madrassa, Obama's church preacher hates America, Obama's wife despises America, Obama is connected to the Weather Underground, he's an elitist, an Obama supporter in Chicago is a criminal, yadda yadda yadda. Time for some balance. Three weeks of making McCain repeat that he hasn't been brainwashed, fifteen times a day, with analysis on all the prime time news shows. Let's see if he can hold his temper. If he can't take the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.
I dont see why you want to bring fantasies and imagination into it. Are those things you mentioned in your post true? Personally iceaura your fantasies do not really interest me. so again what is your point?
KENTUCKY - USA - Imperial Wizard, Ronald Edwards has stated that, "anything is better than Hillary Clinton." White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America. Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better than having that "crazy ass bitch" as President. This is the first time in Klan history that any member of the KKK has ever publicly supported an African American candidate for the presidency. KKK lodges all over America have been gathering and holding rallies supporting the black presidential candidate. http://www.dailysquib.co.uk/?c=117&a=1227
For balance in the media coverage, of course. Obama has been out ther answering all kinds of ridiculous questions born in the fantasies and imaginations of Fox News viewers and given legitimacy by the major corporate media - fair is fair. Who cares ? Are you saying we can't investigate McCain's personal background, that his character and possible secret plans to destroy America are not important matters ? Shouldn't the voters be given both sides of the question, and allowed to make up their own minds ? For weeks now, this is what we see on the major corporate media: Is Obama a secret Muslim ? Was he schooled in a madrassa ? Does he hang with terrorists ? Did he scream out "God Damnn America!" every week on Sundays for twenty years ? Does he refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and deliberately fail to salute the flag ? These are the kinds of inquiries you need to balance, in the coverage of McCain. By "balance" I mean with respectful consideration, repeated public questioning, and substantial prime time on all the news programs and talk shows for a few consecutive weeks. Some imagination is going to be necessary - although not as much as one would think, given McCain's verifiable record.
The difference is there is a foundation for these statements, whether you agree with them or not, as most are based on things actually SAID by the relevant people... Whereas... ...is just sheer kookiness dressed up as a legitimate complaint. I mean, do you really expect people to take this seriously? It's deranged.
I am just saying that your statement to investigate McCain for the statements made by people connected with Obama is ludicrous. How would that be fair? Yet you also say that these things YOU mentioned about Obama should not be looked into. Do you see why that makes no sense at all? And McCain is not in a race right now, he already won the nomination so why would the press be focusing on him right now? At least be fair.
