GOP Dirty Tricks Dupe Media

The media at some point must realize that they are promotiing this man and his ridiculous behavior - do they not realize that this man, in his entire ministry, has never enjoyed as much radio and TV coverage as they have provided. He won't stop until they do. Fame creates it's own hunger for more. Further, Obama's relationship to Wright precedes the religious affiliation. 20 year assumed friendship creates a very emotional divorce.
Why not pick a talking point (and investigation) of the cost to America for the balanced budget of the Clinton Presidency that Hillary is so proud of i.e. failing info-structures, etc., that allowed the current administration to elect to go into a senseless war with that surplus and create a tremendous deficit along with selling America to foreign investors to support his "habit".

Sorry to have in effect reiterated much of what you already said. This is the first time I have been angry enough to actually respond to any comments made on any web site. It took me a long time to edit out my anger and completely rewrite my comments so as to abide by the rules regarding slandering anyone.
Please accept my apology.

Heavens sake Bonnie. Let's recall the Willie Horton issue was dredged up by Al Gore in the primaries just like the B. H. Obama's "bitter" comments were thrown out their by our gal Hillary's people. Heck the Rev. was selling his own comments on c.d.'s trying to make a buck.
In this instance I think its safe to say the GOP is being led around like a little lost sheep. And to think those softies at the DNC think the GOP is some kind of Darth Vader.

Obamamania of PA thinks Obama is our Savior? You approve of "God D*** america"? Then you ask for "no hater responses" but you add "stupid, bitter, racist "typical white people" of pennsylvania", and "you bitter small town indiana hicks"? And you demand redemption for "their racist past - slavery"?, even though no American alive today has ever owned any black slaves? Where do you get your "facts"? You sound like the racist to me!

Bonnie Erbe,
After re-reading your article, I decided I had one more thing to say.
The real dirty trick is being done by the media to make this about race. It's not about race. It's about Republicans outing liberals and their true beliefs.
If anyone should be ashamed of themselves, it should be the media for seeing everything through their "identity politics colored glasses".
Unfortunately, McCain is the one that got duped by the media and agreed with them.
Those of us in fly-over country will not be duped.

The Willie Horton ad is a good comparitor to this ad.
Both had no mention of race. The Willie Horton ad didn't have his picture. In both cases, no racial motives were present.
The Willie Horton ad outed a lunatic liberal Democrat who thought furloughs were a good idea for a man who should never have been let out of prison because he was serving a life sentence for murder. Dukakis's actions led to a brutal rape and beating.
The Wright ad outed another liberal Democrat who calls a Wright his mentor. A man who thinks the United States is a bad country, used crack to imprison blacks, used HIV to kill blacks, and thinks white people are racists. How many black people hate whites because they listen to Wright and people like him and believe that whites are the problem? Worse yet, how many people ignore the real problems facing black people because they blame whites and the goverment?
Both the Willie Horton ad and the Wright ad reminds us that giving power to liberal Democrats is dangerous because it allows outrageous lies and the people who believe them to come into power.

Wow, that's quite a stretch. The vile liars known as the Clintons will
do anything and I mean anything to win. Hillary, being a war hero
from all that sniper fire in Bosnia would never say anything dishonest

McCain needs to be as tough as Hillary. Shouldnt beat around the bush, Obama is a racist pure and simple.

Brings me back to George Bush and the republican satanic attackers from hell who smeared, back stabbed, and lied and lied and lied with the help of the media to ruin the honorable reputation of John Kerry. Now all republicans can smirk and look down on Kerry who would have been the best president we could have ever had and would have been the best president for the last four years of this mess. Now the same thing can go on with McWar Monger. He can stay well away while the demonic republican attack machine use the media to slice and dice the worthy democratic candidate. I don't care what lies I read but many will buy anything to stay in their narrow minded state while not voting for the best person to be in this very critical position at this very critical time - President of the United States.
