Is the media liberal? The term "liberal media" sounds like a bill oreilly saying to me. Decent article from chomsky.info

http://www.chomsky.info/onchomsky/20031209.htm


Chomsky IS the liberal media :/ And to answer the OP: I think people are finally realizing he can't hold his own. He's just this inexperienced pawn that people tell what to say. His "wonderful, inspiring" speeches are rambles if you listen closely enough. All the people who love Obama are being duped.
The sad thing is, McCain is almost as liberal as Obama. I'm depressed.

I'm in the USA now. Other than on the mainstream media, I hear more worries from people about his Moslem ties than that he is black. And the only "black" comments I'm hearing from white people is about how interesting it is to watch black people beat up Obama for not being black enough.

Half of the news of Fox News the past week has been the mic'd comments by Jesse Jackson (who thought he was off mic) saying, "Obama's been talking down to black people..." and "I wanna rip his nuts off..."

Yes, Jesse Jackson, self-proclaimed champion of the black cause was caught on tape saying he wants to rip Obama's nuts off.

See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g57ORgDUgYs

Jackson's very quick press conference trying to take it all back:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g57ORgDUgYs


The interesting thing is that Fox also had several other comments on tape, but decided not to air them because they were considered far too inflammatory and could do serious harm to Jackson and his credibility. Because of Jackson's past openness/willingness to do interviews on Fox, etc., they likely decided not to air these comments.

Yes Chomsky is viewed by many as the liberal media, but he is hardly mainstream in the US.

"McCain is almost as liberal as Obama"
McCain is a HAWK who thinks Czechoslovakia is a country. I could not imagine 8 more years of warmongering and incompetence, which is what McCain would bring. Now I am also depressed. Peace.

Which is also what Obama could bring because he doesn't know shit. Eh, I guess it doesn't matter since he's a figurehead and he is told what to do and say anyways. Look at his speeches on tv...when someone hasn't written them for him, he's lost.



By the way, I'm not a McCain supporter. I am for Ron Paul, so I guess that means I'm still going to vote 3rd party. It doesn't matter anyway because the internationalists already decided that Obama will be president. We all might as well deal with it and see where this goes.

The Liberal media is bashing Obama because he's changing his stance. The far left went from "Anyone but Hillary" to "Oh no, we are stuck with this chump."

What happened after the long, drawn out, waste of time elections happened last time, Bush got elected! You would of thought if it carries on that long that the system might work.

(Before anyone jumps on me, the British system is just as sh*t, but a hell of a lot shorter)


It's way, way, way too drawn out. They started talking about the elections early in 2007 and they don't even happen until November. It's exhausting.

I agree. It really is mentally exhausting.



By the way, here's an article on Chomsky that the Chomsky-lovers will find hard to read:

The drawn out election process is absurd and certainly serves as a distraction.

I don't support Obama or McCain. What third party candidate are you speaking of?

"Chomsky may be the head gatekeeper, but he works alongside a network of fellow Globalist assets like Amy Goodman who do their best to appear radical while avoiding all the hardcore issues and deliberately leading the Left into oblivion." Rolling Eyes

Yes, Chomsky is in the CIA and actually planned 911 with the help of former CIA agent Bob Barr.

*sigh* Just the reaction I knew a globalist like you would have. Start doing research and see what the liberals are up to. But I guess you'd never believe it anyway.

Do you really trust the government that much? Wow.

I haven't decided who I am voting for yet. I have to do more thinking/research.

I'm not sure how me not buying into that particular article makes me a globalist, or a person who trusts the government "that much". Your inaccurate assumptions are humorous though.

Pretty good book if ya'll have never read it, discusses the CIA/Contras/Crack in LA--- "Dark Alliance" by Gary Webb

So you're going to throw away your vote, then? What a waste. Why don't you at least vote for Obama because he has a chance of winning?

Ron Paul is great, don't get me wrong. I really like the guy and I'd vote for him too. The problem is that he's too right, he's so right that he's an intellectual and as we all know, intellectuals, both in appearance and sound, do not get voted into presidential office. That's just the way the world works.

In a two party system you shouldn't vote for the obvious third party on principal. Is Nader still running this year?

Invokes humor? Breathtaking.

I don't want to "vote" for Obama because it's the principle of the matter. Voting, if it is rigged or not, evokes beliefs. Belief in Obama, I have not. Yes, Nader is still running.

As much as I love my country, I detest the oral skills of our president. It really amazes me how he could screw up time after time. Didn't any brief him on how to pronounce things? Sheesh. Embarrassing.
