even I bet George Bush is looking for authors to do so....perhaps he will get out his crayons and try it himself, after he masters "See spot run. See VP Cheney run with his Halliburton $$$$$$$."

I am watching this in real time -- s/m

The whole Christian thing is myth #1; myth #2 is regarding 9/11.  MINDBLOWING!!


Watching real news, not MSNBC, or even CNN

That's what I thought. I stop watching that show because of his mixing HIS
political beliefs and opinions with the Bible. He is definitely over the line and uses religion to draw people in to his own political opinions.
You should stop watching so many scary movies! Geez.nm

Real history....(sm)

Let's not count on history books, let's just go to the Constitution.

For the first time in history? Get real and -
I'm so sick of the whining about 'for the first time in history...' And what, exactly was holding African-Americans back before, huh? Can you not think of any excellent Black role models? Cause I can think of heaps of them. There have been, and are currently, many, MANY high-successful, Black public figures. From the mega-successful music moguls to television icons to the halls of Congress and the President's Cabinet.

Just because there hasn't been a Black president before doesn't mean they were EXCLUDED from the race. There hasn't been a WOMAN president either. Or a BLIND president. Or a KOREAN-AMERICAN president. Or an openly GAY president.

Does that mean none of these other groups have had success? None of them have had a role model?

Give me a break, America!
Stop getting your info from the history channel....

Brava, someone who actually has read a real history book about....sm
the ENTIRE administration of FDR, the Great Depression, and the New Deal, there are sixteen long years of history that CANNOT be re-written, even by Faux or Bill O'Reilly, or any of the other self-righteous, loud morons on that station. IMHO
Try Googling Winter Soldier.
There's a whole other world just waiting for you to discover it that lays just beyond the horizon of the US mainstream media.

Does anyone really have to ask this - of course there is a bias
Everyone knows it but the crats don't care cos they got their boy in there. Never mind about destroying a person's life. That was done just for fun.

These crats really have the audacity to try and pull the pity party, when their the ones doing the destroying.
Or even a Middle School Text Book? Does all info have to be GOOGLED??.....nm
nm
Would that be left or right bias?
nm
No,actually, they are more specific in their bias...
they are definitely more biased toward the clintons than democrats in general. But it is obviously that the mainstream media are all Obama adorers. That's why I take what is reported there with a grain of salt. And if I want to know ANYthing about conservatives Fox is my only choice.

I am sure no one here can deny with a straight face that the mainstream media has a left bias. lol.
Media bias...

Have you seen the two US Weekly covers, the one for Obama and the one for Palin?


I just love this email sent by former Clinton operative and Us Weekly employee, Mark Neschis, that went out to all media in St. Paul:


Thought I would send over our Us Weekly/Sarah Palin cover story, on stands Friday, if helpful in your coverage. Might be useful as an illustration of how the news is playing out.(Us Weekly has 12 million, mostly female readers)

A former Clinton operative....smearing another woman in politics.  What a double standard!   Whatever respect I EVER had for the Democratic party...is gone.  Party before country, party before decency....party BEFORE.  NO thanks.


What Obama needs to do now is put his money where is mouth is, and tell all his operatives to tell all their buddies on the blogs and media to cease and desist...if indeed he was sincere in his objection to this treatment.

IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll: Day Sixteen


By IBD/TIPP


A shift of male votes into Obama's column has helped give the Democrat his best lead in seven days. Men had been holding at 48%-41% McCain, but on Tuesday switched to 46%-45% Obama. This may reflect some temporary volatility, however. Another key group, Catholics, who've been swinging in a tight range, are back in the Obama camp. READ MORE


or maybe it's just media bias, you think?? nm

Can you really not admit that there is a bias?
If this guy had done this same piece but insert Obama's name instead of Palin's, not one of the liberals would have had anything to say about it except praise. Yet when it's Palin, you all want to talk about "oh she's whining, she needs to grow up, etc". What needs to happen is that the media needs to get their lips off of Obama's bum.

I really can't wait until the day the media starts picking him to pieces. And it will come. One thing about affairs, eventually the fire burns out. The media will need something new and hot eventually.
About "Liberal Bias"
Study after study (if you don't count that moron Bernard Goldberg) have shown that if there's any bias in the media, it's Republican bias. Here's just the latest one:

You want to claim bias? Might want to rethink that.
Pictures and videos can dispel those myths.

The first 3 links are a few more articles on civilian casualties. You will notice they do not come from Al-Jazeera. Below that, THE LAST 9 LINKS ARE VIDEO accounts from a variety of sources. WARNING. These videos are extremely graphic and quite disturbing. If you are faint at heart, have just eaten or if there are children in the room, DO NOT VIEW THESE ACCOUNTS. However, if you are interested in this an unsanitized report of this conflict as seen by everybody else outside the US, take a deep breath and take a look at our tax dollars at work.

Media's Presidential Bias and Decline....sm

Michael Malone is a fourth generation journalist who works for abc.

This column is five pages long, but well worth the time spent reading it.

He talks about the present media bias and how he believes it came to be. Very, very enlightening.

Psychiatry Ponders Whether Extreme Bias Can Be an Illness...see article/link

Psychiatry Ponders Whether Extreme Bias Can Be an Illness




By Shankar Vedantam
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 10, 2005; Page A01



The 48-year-old man turned down a job because he feared that a co-worker would be gay. He was upset that gay culture was becoming mainstream and blamed most of his personal, professional and emotional problems on the gay and lesbian movement.


These fixations preoccupied him every day. Articles in magazines about gays made him agitated. He confessed that his fears had left him socially isolated and unemployed for years: A recovering alcoholic, the man even avoided 12-step meetings out of fear he might encounter a gay person.

Darrel A. Regier of the American Psychiatric Association favors research but says it is not clear that establishing a diagnosis would be useful. (By Marvin Joseph -- The Washington Post)









He had a fixed delusion about the world, said Sondra E. Solomon, a psychologist at the University of Vermont who treated the man for two years. He felt under attack, he felt threatened.


Mental health practitioners say they regularly confront extreme forms of racism, homophobia and other prejudice in the course of therapy, and that some patients are disabled by these beliefs. As doctors increasingly weigh the effects of race and culture on mental illness, some are asking whether pathological bias ought to be an official psychiatric diagnosis.


History is history and opinion is opinion. You need to learn the difference.

Who to pick?

I truly do not like either McCain or Obama.  I don't want to NOT vote.  I don't want to stay in the same course we are in.....which counts McCain out.  But I don't want to vote for change just for the sake of change.  If it were a change I could believe in and have faith....okay....but I don't and so that counts Obama out.  So now what?


VP pick
I don't know anything about her really, but I was just telling my husband last night that the only way McCain is going to be able to keep this race competitive at all would be to pick a pro-life woman. I didn't think he would really and my husband couldn't think of any (and he's a repub). As a Democrat I of course would have loved it if McCain would have picked Lieberman to demoralize the base or Huckabee to demoralize the independents, but ah well. It's a smart pick, I have to say.
I'd pick you to mod if I had the say
just to prove that it wouldn't matter who was moderating to me.  I'm confident in my party, how 'bout you?
Take your pick from above.........
xx
where is my pick my up?
I pay and pay and I never get any pick me up. Since you would much rather pay for it, go ahead, pay for it. Don't ask me to pay, though, because I would much rather not. I think I paid enuff all ready.
Don't we pick and choose

Don't we pick which Bible adages we follow?  The Bible also says turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor as thyself, do unto others....yet many Christians in various venues (including these boards) chide others for being advocates of peace, tolerance and love for all citizens of the world. 


The Bible has contradictions, it was written by men, after all and seems incredibly subject to interpretation.


He should pick Hillary
They are two peas in a pod. It was evidenced by his speech tonight he thinks she such a great person. I could just feel the love he has for her. Seriously...they voted alike on almost everything. I think his speach tonight was more of him trying to pull her votes away from Barack to vote for him.
that should be "who" is your pick... duh (nm)
x
Well said. If we could only pick and choose who to help..
someone as yourself would be on top of my list!
You know, at this point he could pick

Jesus Christ to be in his cabinet and you people would find some something to b**ch about that, too.  Good grief!!


You can't pick and choose WHEN you
want majority rule to count. The people have spoken, they don't want it, try again next time.
He wasn't my first pick....(sm)

However, we are now at a point where time is the word of the day.  Here's my problem with the situation.  If he's so terrible, why are they voting him in?  That applies to dems and pubs, as both sides have expressed concern.  So, we know they're going to vote him in, so what's the point in all the delays?  I think at this point it's just political grandstanding by the pubs.  They did the same thing with Hillary.  The guy that held that one up actually voted for her, and said he was going to vote for her, but still delayed the process. 


For that matter, check out the attorney general position.  What's the problem with Holder?  On this one the pubs want to *question* him more about torture.  Exactly what do the pubs want to hear?  Maybe *torture is wrong, but we won't prosecute?*  More pollitical grandstanding.


May we pick which finger??
x
I'll pick one...LOL...(sm)

You said:  "What about the voters of CA voting against gay marriage and now it's supposedly going to the Supreme Court? That's ridiculous. Since when is the Supreme Court allowed to overturn the voter's wishes? "


My question to you would be when was the last time it was okay for individual rights to be taken away with a popular vote?  Individual rights are guaranteed by the constitution (which discourages discrimination), not subject to the vote of the day.  That is why it needs to go to the supreme court.  Do you think it would be okay to all of the sudden pop up and have a vote in 2009 on whether or not women can vote when we already have that right?  On top of that, the state supreme court has now ruled that prop 8 stands, so at this point LGBTs cannot get married.  However, (and here comes the double standard), LGBTs who are already married can stay married?  What kind of reasoning is that?  As far as I'm concerned, this is a textbook case of discrimination.


a pick-me-up for Congress???
you're kidding right?? Pick them up from what? all the hard work they have been doing finding new ways to spend our money??
