I'm a Little Confused

A primer to clarify confusion over why Palin's experience counts and Obama's doesn't, why Obama deserves media scrutiny and McCain/Palin does not, etc. Hope this clarifies things.

You're not paying attention if you think McCain/Palin are getting some kind of free pass from the mainstream media.

Framed per this sift, Obama sure looks normal...maybe even someone worth voting for. No mention of the bigoted Black Theology church he was a member of for 20 years or his half brother who lives in a Kenyan hut, subsisting on a dollar a year. No mention of his irresponsible African father OR unmarried White mother. No mention he's even half-White. No mention of Michelle Obama being proud of her country 'for the first time.' No mention of the good senator's voting record, to the left of Ted 'Swim' Kennedy. No mention of the connection to William Charles "Bill" Ayers, domestic radical terrorist. Biden is such an embarrassment the drive-by media never mentions him if they can help it, and the Taxocrat-controlled do-nothing 10% approval rating Congress put a total frigging useless idiot like Nancy Pelosi 3rd in line should something have happened to Bush/Cheney.

McCain isn't trying to thwart anyone who asks legitimate questions about his views or ability to lead. It's all out there for all to see. Obama is a secretive, closed book with the mainstream media acting as his bodyguards and promoters.

So.... Barack, despite having an unmarried mother and an irresponsible father, won the democratic nomination for president and looks to be headed towards winning the presidency and becoming the most powerful man in the world. Incredible! That is truly the American dream that I know!

But wait, what is that you say, he lived in the same neighborhood as a former radical, and they served together on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity that develops community groups to help the poor. Shit! Is it too late to change my vote!?

Estranged broke-ass 26-year-old Muslim half-brother!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Why, Obama, WHY!?! Why couldn't you have chosen a better father, WHY!!!????

Idiot.

Ahh, QM's absolute, blinkers on, bullshit rides in again...

Yes, his church has a loud mouthed, aggressive pastor in residence... but until we see Obama spouting any of the same stuff (And he has publicly condemned it on many occasions) I don't see how it's really relevant.

or his half brother who lives in a Kenyan hut, subsisting on a dollar a year. No mention of his irresponsible African father OR unmarried White mother. No mention he's even half-White.

Um "Obama has seven half-siblings from his Kenyan father's family, six of them living, and a half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, the daughter of his mother and her Indonesian second husband." So... Frigging... WHAT? His father is Kenyan, and has sired a host of children. HE has made something for himself in the USA. While you can glean things about a person from where they come from, you can tell an awful lot more about a person by where they take themselves, and Obama has taken himself into a position of having done amazing works for people and being in a stable relationship.

And HOW THE F*CK is it AT ALL supposed to be ANYTHING bad that he's half white? Truly how bigoted are you? Must everyone in this world be pure bred. My god you are a racist dick QM.



No mention of Michelle Obama being proud of her country 'for the first time.'

Sigh... the right wing bullshit again... You are allowed to be ashamed of the policies of the government that runs your country you know. Are you supposed to love everything about your country, even the horrible rights abuses just because it's your country? Then you are a mindless sheep who would have done well in the Third Reich... the mindless 'you're either with us or against us' bullshit is COMPLETE CRAP.


No mention of the good senator's voting record, to the left of Ted 'Swim' Kennedy.

Again this weird thing about being left being bad... I applaud any mainstream politician that manages to become a real contender and still be able to vote actual left based policies, bring it on... I'm sick of each side being just different shades of right wing conservatism.

No mention of the connection to William Charles "Bill" Ayers, domestic radical terrorist.


Oooh, that terrible professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the honor of Distinguished Professor. Oooh, that horrible, dangerous man. You're talking about a man who fought for EQUAL RIGHTS... Yeah, he was someone who did things in stupid ways sometimes... but I would listen to him speak over you any day of the week.


Biden is such an embarrassment the drive-by media never mentions him if they can help it.

Um, I think you said it there, with the 'drive-by media' tag... it's nothing to do with him being bad in any way... it's to do with him being stable, good, well rounded and just not 'sensational' enough for the 'news' channels to do ridiculous attack pieces on him...

and the Taxocrat-controlled do-nothing 10% approval rating Congress put a total frigging useless idiot like Nancy Pelosi 3rd in line should something have happened to Bush/Cheney.

I'm going to plead ignorance on this, sorry, don't know what this is referring to...

WHAT THE F*CK? Just making shit up now are we? I have seen Obama state his views straight out on many occasions where I've seen McCain do NOTHING but feed bullshit lines that never answer the questions asked of him.

Your country is absolutely doomed if there are too many people who are such closed minded, deluded, blinkered, suckers such as yourself out there who can't see reality for the right wing bullshit being piled in front of you.

I sit here stunned at your complete and utter loyalty to bullshit.

Have you read "on bullshit"? you should =]
This interpretation of it sums it up pretty well.

"Bullshit is generated, Frankfurt proposes, when a person feels pressured either by his situation or position to have a fine-sounding opinion on a topic without sufficient information.

I haven't, but I might now, that definition is bang on!

You are so full of shit, it's painful.

blankfistsays...

Yes, yes, we get it. McCain and Palin are terrible. Obama and Biden are better. If they were the only choices for president, I'd say vote Obama/Biden. I guess if I needed brain surgery and all I had to pick between was the town retard and my high school principal, I suppose I'd go with my principal.

My only complaint is that the Cindy McCain as Marie Antoinette picture looked photoshopped. Otherwise I didn't notice any factual inaccuracies. Unfortunately one falsehood increases the possibility of others. Does anyone know if that a legitimate picture or a photo manipulation?

The original: http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/07/12/kirstendunst_wideweb__470x298,0.jpg

And the photoshopped version: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j182/swiftian/0_040908/cindymccain_antoinette2.jpg


The photo doesn't attempt to be realistic, so it's partially just "satire," and it's not in bad taste the way photoshopping Obama's head onto a terrorist would be. However, it's shown too quickly in this video for those parts to be noticeable without pausing it.

I agree it would have been more above the belt to use a real picture.
