For six weeks now, since the NBC Russert-Williams debate in Philly, the political media have been in full bore - we WILL get the Clintons mode.   Many Obama supporters think this is in response to a "great campaign " being run out of Chicago.  No, sorry folks, take it from one who has fought with these media clowns before - that is not what is going on here. they are not FOR Obama, they are AGAINST the Clintons. Big difference.

You see, the default position for the political media is ALWAYS attack the strongest Dem and coddle even the weakest Republican.  Always.  2004, 2000...  Clinton, Gore, Mondale, Carter...  Reagan - Bush.  Hello?

Its a corporate media people and they know what their job is.  

Any "Democrat" who thinks that having Chris Matthews behind your candidate is a good thing for our Party doesnt have a clue about what is really going on here.

Remember this political media is the same crowd that supported an impeachment, basically a domestic coup, over the President doing what they themselves and half of male Washington does all the time - have an affair with a willing partner.   But, today they laugh at the concept that Bush Jr has done enough wrong to warrant similar treatment.  Their idea of "high crimes and misdemeanors" includes getting caught lying about a blowjob but not about getting caught lying about WMDs and who blew up the twin towers.  They think THAT is a very funny joke.

This is the same political media that ran a two year "war against Gore" and lied - over and over again - to the American people - with GOP sprouted charges that - Al Gore was a liar.    How ironic huh?

This is the same political media that didnt say a word when the "yuppie riot" put on by Trent Lott staffers stopped the counting of ballots in Dade County and allowed the Bush forces to deny tens of thousands of people their vote...in an election that was decided by a few hundred.  

This is the same political media crowd who allowed the Supreme Court Five to STEAL that Presidential election and then told the American people....see, Democracy works.

This is the same political media, that when Bush took office, pushed the GOP line that those dirty Clintons, those dirty Democrats, had emptied out and stolen everything from Air Force One and cleaned out and stolen hundreds of pieces of furniture and art from the White House itself.  Oh and taken the "W" keys off of hundreds of computer keyboards over in the OEOB.  Months later, when the GAO itself said that these stories were completely false, this political media buried that story on page A23....down in the corner where you wouldnt notice it.  This is also where they buried the story about the "consortium's" review of the Florida recount that showed that Gore won that state under every possible recount plan...both by district, county and entire state.  But your political media took their interpretation of that story from the spinners in the WH and buried the actual report also on page 23...down in the corner where you wouldnt notice it.

2004.  Kerrey is swiftboated and Dan Rather has to resign because George Bush went AWOL from the Texas National Guard .  What role did your national political media in those stories?  Nuff said.

This is the same political media that now lauds Obama while they continually bash on Hillary.

----------------

This has been Gibbs and Axelrod and Obama plan from the get go.  Win the nomination by "enabling" the media to destroy Hillary.

But there is a flaw in this horrid, cynical plan of the high ups in team Obama.  Democrats MUST understand that the media hasnt decided to place Obama in the White House, instead, they are working to keep the Clintons out of it.

As soon as the GOP settles on McCain or Rudy or Thompson or Romney, they will switch the narrative completely around and talk about how important experience, gravitas and being a real red blooded "traditional" male is to being the POTUS.

-----------------

Any Obama supporter just "shocked" at the kindergarten flap wont know what hit them if Obama becomes our nominee.   Wait till the GOP spins a narrative about how Obama's ADMITTED {that is key} cocaine and "hard drug abuse" interconnects to his support to give early release from prison of "tens of thousands" of dangerous crack addicts and dealers onto YOUR streets.  At the same time he also wants to BAN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY from legally OWNING a hand gun to protect itself from these same violent felons and monsters that Obama himself will be setting free.

Forget the drug dealer bit from the last 2 days, the GOP attack would be much more sophisticated and would be meant to both anger and TERRIFY voters.

Just because the Clinton campaign has been guilted into making Sheehen walk the plank for even mentioning this problem at the corners, dont think the GOP wont push exactly this sort of script. This "narrative" and others just as harsh and worse will come directly from RNC headquarters and the political
MEDIA WILL BUY INTO AND REPEAT EVERY WORD AND CHARGE.

Think the GOP and your political media can be shamed like a Democrat can be?  
The 2004 election. JK. Hello?!   A frigging silver star, a DSC, 3 purple hearts.  Swiftboating.  OK?  Nuff said.

--------------------

The Obama campaign is now running against Hillary hand in hand with the political media and pushing and encouraging their slanders and narratives about the Clintons and in effect, ALL Democrats as they do this.

Again is it any wonder that the foolish nadrite poster says that President Clinton is a Rapist?   Its the natural result of a campaign that started out by saying that WE DEMOCRATS had sold out the White House itself.

Its beyond pathetic. Beyond horrible.  

The most bizarre part of this, the most tragic, is that even after it became understood how the media and the GOP colluded in 2000, after all that happened in the election of 2004, after the birth of the political net and the "reality based community", some people still cant see what will naturally follow if Obama would be chosen as the nominee.  

Your political media are two faced lying jackals. Unlike the oft repeated false charges about Hillary, these people really are - bought and paid for.

As my friend the Daily Howler recently wrote,

"in the 2000 primaries, the political media went after a Democrat {Gore} and tried to destroy his campaign and take him out as a candidate and they almost succeeded, this time it is possible they may actually get away with it".

--------

Lets mix metaphors.  Maybe that will get the sightless to see.

Though Obama has sprouted wings and risen and now soars with the political media's help and and blessings, he would be as doomed as an Icarus to fall as soon as a McCain or a Romney arises Phoenix like from the ashes of their troubled campaigns to take their proper place as manly men and and media anointed heroes.

One more. What can it hurt?

Today, Obama may be rising because of the media's sharp sabre, but if chosen, he would surely be later slain by the same corporate owned media's sword that now keeps his campaign alive and kicking. Live by it - Die by it.

And until it is sure that Omama will not be our Party's nominee, that same dangerous scimitar once named by Horace after a chap named Damocles, hangs over all Democrats heads, with the words "seven to two - unbeatable and unstoppable GOP Supreme Court Majority" deeply and vividly etched into its very, very sharp blade.
