- "You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so."

I don't know Winston. I think it's all over for McCain. It looks like the Empty Suit is on his way to the White House. Why do I not feel like dancing with joy at the prospect?
Great last paragraph by Phillips. Only it's more than impolite to say so - It's considered racist and you'll be personally attacked.
It is painful to see that most voters who are really misinformed...
So let me see if I understand it correctly. These voters voted for George Bush (your hero) twice. Were they misinformed back then? or they suddenly became misinformed in less than 4 years!!!
If we believe that people can be misinformed to vote for the "wrong" person, doesn't it justify to monitor who can run? So that to make sure only "right" candidates run. And isn't it one of the things we criticize about, let's say, Iran?
If we lose faith in voters we are giving up the idea of democracy. That somehow the collective decision by all leads to a good outcome, even-though it is not our favorite.
Obama might be all you call it. Let's assume he is. If we believe the United States is the best democracy in the world, we have to walk the walk and respect American's vote. If he gets elected (which is uncertain yet), there is another election in 4 years (and another one in 8 years and another one in 12 years and...). That's the beauty of it, isn't it?
This is your blog and you have every right to write whatever the hell you want. But what you are implying about American voters is offensive.
A vote for George Bush was a wise and necessary vote and those who voted for him were right. However a vote for this empty suit Obamble is wrong and out of misinformation. You got that? I'd love to be more offensive though.
Winston,
Thanks for your response. But I am still puzzled.
Aren't these the same people?
How is it that they voted justly and wisely for Bush 4 years ago and in four years they're suddenly misinformed?
Or maybe you think they are misinformed in general and it so happened (by luck) that they voted for Bush.
Bush won the second term by a landslide. Many independents and even democrats voted for him. It wasn't all conservative vote. And you are claiming it was wise and informed. I have no problem with that. But how is it that the same people -if decide to vote for Obama- get a "misinformed" label from you?
As someone who knows the heart of real American people you do not see represented in the media, I do not think it is over for McCain. I think the close is just beginning and I think he will do it to the shock and awe of all Obots.
Love or hate Sarah Palin (I happen to love her) she was a brilliant choice and she will be the reason McCain wins this election. A first for the VP, but definitely will up turnout and is resonating with American voters in the heartland.
The American people want politicians they can trust. What Sarah lacks in national political experience she makes up for in being on the right side of America and the American people. She will not make choices that will hurt or standing in the world.
I do not believe Barack Obama would intentionally do anything to hurt our standing in the world or bring harm to us -- but he is naive and because of this and his liberal view of the world at large -- he is bound to put us at risk both economically and internationally.
anonymous :
You don't seem to be aware that the mainstream media has taken unprecedented measures to put the best light on Obama and avoid discussion and indepth investigation into Obama's past.
The numbers have been tabulated several times throughout this campaign, and Obama gets twice as many positive mentions on tv as McCain.
The media is in the tank for McCain and some (like NBC) don't even try to hide it.
SO, is the public being misinformed about the candidates more than ever? YES.
Is that effecting the ability of voters to make informed decisions?
Of course - that's why they're doing it.
If the blogs didn't exist, and FOXNews & radio talk shows weren't around, we wouldn't hear ANYTHING negative about Obama on tv, and tv is where the vast majority of voters get their information. Talk radio and the blogs have functioned to 'police' and put some controls on what the msm says and can get away with, thank goodness. Though they can't stop the msm talking heads from having guests repeating lies night after night. (repeat something over & over until people believe its the truth)
When all 3 networks start talking about the number of Obama's pro-Palestinian/anti Iraeli friends and supporters, and that with the exception of 1 roommate he had at college they haven't been able to find a single friend of about the same age as Obama from those yrs, and they talking about the true character of his mentor and 'father figure' during his entire adolescence in Hawaii - in other words, when they start really telling the public who this guy is, then you can say that the public is being informed and not misinformed.
Oh, I am aware of what the media is doing. But I also study the internal polls. The American people are catching onto the media -- especially the Hillary democrats. There are a lot more of them voting for McCain than you think. A lot more. The media is being called out on a daily basis here and people do not trust it like they used to. I have faith in the people. McCain may not win, but it will not even be close to a landslide and I still think McCain wins in the end.
Kudos to Melanie Phillips for her statement - it is spot on.
The cause is that only a few know what Obama is really about - and that's because they are misinformed by the press.
The total failure of the press to do their jobs has allowed Obama to get this far.
I've finally found something more corrupt than our elected officials in Washington DC - it's the main street media, formerly known as the American Press.
I'm sure my rights such as free speech and firearm ownership will be taken away by this thug. If he wins, my first purchase will be a semi-auto pistol and shooting lessons.
It is a sure thing that the USA will be diminished as a country just like happened when Jimmy Carter was elected.
But I also fear that our country may not survive this arrogant, foolish, inexperienced and anti-capitalist thug.
God help us.
