Why vote Obama?

Hey, I think I finally found that "liberal press" some of you guys have been talking about. What a HOOT! Thanks for the heads up!

If you don't see the liberal media bias, you've got your head in the punch bowl. Of course, I wouldn't expect a lefty like you to see it. At least I admit that Rush and Hannity are right wing.

Do you see anyone in the main stream media who is left wing? If so, who?

...I'm voting the issues and voting my conscience and that feels good to me. It's nice because I don't have to watch the news or tap into the 24-hour news/spin cycle because they never talk about 3rd parties, and I don't have to watch the debates. It's pretty nice, I recommend it.

Thanks Eric, I needed this to further validate my voting for Bob Barr. I had suggested I might change my vote to McCain if I got mad enough at the liberal media. Thanks for bringing me back from the edge...

GREAT, glad I could help. Anyone else? Anyone?

All of you guys spouting party lines are, at best, naive. I dont see how anybody can reach the age of 30, and still take either of the 2 major parties seriously.
I'd vote 3rd party in a heartbeat. We just need one without a looney at the wheel.
We need someone who is strong, yet sensitive to our needs.....someone like....TED NUGENT

Rachel Maddow, shes a tough one. I must admit she is way left of even the liberal media ... kinda like Hannity's opposite.

Yeah, but at least her rantings are based in fact rather than conjecture. Nonetheless, I don't consider MSNBC TV or Fox News "the press" or "news media"...it's commentary at best and therefore inherently biased.

bellwells · 28 Oct 2008, 23:20

For a guy who doesn't consider MSNBC to be "the press" or "news media" you sure quote them alot. LOL.

The first AD aimed at McCain using Palin .... double SLAM.

yeah, slam and dunk!

bellwells · 30 Oct 2008, 02:08

Good ad...effective and clever.

I Seriously can't read website that can't afford a decent web designer. OMG it hurts my eyes.

From usawakeup.org

"Did you know that Mohamed Atta, the 9/11 ring leader, had a valid Florida driver’s license? Did you know 13 of the 19 hijackers had obtained valid driver’s licenses? Armed with these licenses, eight of the hijackers even registered to vote! Here is the shocking fact: Barack Hussein Obama strongly supports giving illegal aliens in America driver’s licenses."

Very nice link, Baker. If it were up to me, your *ass would be banned this instant.

That blog is a load of scaremongering BS. I didn't bother reading past the first page. Europe a goner?...ridiculous. Muslims represent about 2.8% of the UK population...hardly surprising given the Imperial past. That hardly amounts to a takeover. That compares with 1.5% in the US (over three times as many in actual numbers).
As for waking up to the call of the muezzin every morning; Edinburgh has the largest mosque in the UK. My son lived round the corner from it for 8 years and never heard a thing...it would probably breach the noise abatement laws for one thing.

Typical US neonazi "We're the last bastion of freedom, democracy and white christianity" cr@p, spread by people that have never been outside their own borders.

I notice that the post advised us to follow the links to Obama's Islamic supporters...not Islamic extremist supporters, you'll note. Since when has being a Muslim been a crime in the US?...and are all US citizens who happen to be Muslim now second class citizens...unsuited for executive office? Seems more than a tad racist, not to say fascist, to me.

It's also worth remembering that this is not a US white-supremacist forum, it's an International one based in that most liberal of those pinko European countries, the Netherlands. Quite a few members here might well be Muslim themselves and find such sentiments totally repugnant.

Did you came to the defense of Christians on the other threads which denigrated Christianity?

Why, because you don't agree with him? Free speech is all find a dandy as long you're hearing what you agree with, but as soon as someone disagrees or puts forth a controversial statement......

Why didn't you chastise Tom when he posted that lie of a video showing McCain at a Senate hearing? Or Pete (solo), when he posted that lie of Palin's report card?

Ron, for crying out loud! A child could see that wasn't my point. Why don't you interrupt your one-man rhetorical circle jerk for a bit and read the f*cking quote again, eh?

No, because no one was suggesting that Christianity was tantamount to being a terrorist.....and before you start making out that I'm some kind of atheistic pinko, Ron, I might add that I was in Church last Sunday morning, as usual. Which is more than can be said for most ignorant right wingers that spread that kind of racist crap. Just get off your high horse and stop being so bloody confrontational.

Touched a nerve, huh? Well why don't you tell me WTF your point was, because it's not obvious.

You kidding, Wells?

Setup:

"Did you know that Mohamed Atta, the 9/11 ring leader, had a valid Florida driver’s license? Did you know 13 of the 19 hijackers had obtained valid driver’s licenses? Armed with these licenses, eight of the hijackers even registered to vote!"

Punchline:

"Here is the shocking fact: Barack Hussein Obama strongly supports giving illegal aliens in America driver’s licenses."

bellwells · 30 Oct 2008, 20:19

Ergo, Obama sides with terrorists? Is this what upset you so?

Time is running out and desperation has set in, cut the guy a break ... the world is about to end according to his clan.

Talking of clan, I saw a peice today about them and other white supremacist movements that have recently got record new recruits in the wake of the presidency going to a black man. (this country is about to show it's ugly face which it's been hiding for so long).
