You're on a roll, Troll!

It is unfortunate because the longer we take to vet out Dem candidates, the more at risk we are of the right-wing media creating a too-late firestorm over some 60's association. I've been in the Army, they are still fighting Vietnam.

I was originally kicked off of myDD for peeping this story about Obama back when he declared. FU Matt Stoller. The problem with this Ayers thread for Obama is this will eventually lead to Ayers link to FALN operatives who are STILL under investigation by the FBI.

Obama (and Hillary's link) to Weather Underground figures is

Just remember, 68% percent of NPR listeners are registered, conservative Republicans and poll after poll shows conservatives read more than Republicans.

Because most progressives are esentially complacent Whole Foods shoppers, they do not diligently read the right wing media to find out what stories the be cooking up about the Dems.

This Ayers story is going to lead to Obama's assocations to FALN folks in Chicago.

I got e-mails all day from friends about Ayers saying, 'see you told us so.'

You can get angry you stupid Obama people but I'm going to laugh when he gets the nomination then gets trashed so bad by the right wing McCain wins the election.

Obama has more than closets of stuff for them, he has a whole warehouse. I'm from the South Side, Mark my words. Don't vote for him. It is dangerous.

Unless, of course, he finally comes clean on everything so WE as DEMS know how to respond.

Well, okay, us Obama supporters will give ABC a pass if you'll agree they get a pass for Bosnia and can bring it up at will.

you right wing asshat.

It's not about hard questions. It's not about "ganging up" on a candidate.

It's about trivial, trite, meaningless, smarmy foci that distract from the real issues and undermine the Democratic brand.

Now go back to the freeper rock you crawled out from under.

Does it take someone from outside, namely this diarist, to point this out to Obama supporters?  Apparently.  The media has been doing this to Hillary from day one of this campgaign.  No, I take that back.  Since she first appeared on the national stage in 1991.

How's it feel, guys?  This is what unfair, immaterial, baseless media trashing feels like.  Get used to it.

Barack and Ayers serve(d) on a frickin' charity
board together for chrissakes.

Now this Ayers
person is a professor at the University of
Illinois.

Are you saying Barack should be responsible for the actions of a person during the civil rights era 40 years ago when Barack was in elementary school?

AND YET ANOTHER FLIP FLOP FROM OBAMARAMA
I'm not going to wear that pin, but since I offended rural Americans, well then maybe I should

AND THIS ON HIS LIES
Obama Shaken, Rattled, and Rolled
if he still harbors any hopes of driving Hillary Clinton from the Democratic race by scoring an upset victory in Pennsylvania, he might be wise to get real. It's hard to imagine that he won over the working-class, culturally-conservative Democrats who constitute the swing vote; if anything, his performance during the first 45 minutes of the debate may well have cemented their suspicions.

Obama's devotees will no doubt complain today that the ABC News inquisitors were grossly unfair, that they focused their fire on Obama while leaving Hillary Clinton relatively unscathed, and that they asked too many dirtball questions at Obama's expense. (George Stephanopoulos to Obama: "Do you think Rev. Wright loves America as much as you do?") Whatever. Whining about the media is the last resort of losers. The bottom line is that Obama didn't successfully adapt to the environment.

Repsonse to the debate:

Even he thinks it is wack.

The MSM is so very "reluctant" to cover negative stories on Obama.

After all, it took them about a millisecond to engage on the oh-so-important "bittergate" issue, devoting hours and hours of Obama-is-doomed punditry to the question.

And the Wright controversy -- that was hardly mentioned at all in the media!

As for Hillary Clinton, how long did the big-time media wait before reporting on her Bosnia "misstatements"?  No "reluctance" there.....

And how long will it take (if ever) before the big-time networks report at all, much less give wall to wall coverage, regarding Hillary's "Screw 'em" comment about poor southern white voters?  (A comment confirmed, by the way, not only by the author of a book but by a current Hillary supporter and donor who was in the room.)  Your guess is as good as mine, but given the extensive "bittergate" coverage, it sure seems relevant.  I'm waiting for their "reluctance" to lift, but every minute, hour and day that passes is one that they didn't wait to pounce on the "bittergate" story.

Look, it is true that the media sometimes ignores things like Ayers for a period of time.  It also sometimes ignores things like the Bosnia "misstatements," or the devastating "Screw 'em" comment by Hillary.

It's not about protecting Obama -- look at Wright and "bittergate," for crying out loud!  Sometimes hard-hitting stories come out with blazing speed -- for both candidates.  Sometimes they are delayed -- for both candidates.  Get some perspective.
