And what about the recent story that showed, in a poll of Americans, that Jon Stewart was the most trusted newsman on TV? Tells us a lot about the media these days.
I also have been told by some that the birthers are asking for a New amendment be added to the Constitution. They already enjoy the First, now they should have the First Amendment Light, the Birther Amendment by which all Americans presently alive or about to be born have thier Original Birther Certificate posted on-line for the entire world to see and possibly use. And whenever someone needs to see it, you just go to.. HERE IS MY INFO.con
There was a great deal of outrage at the hijacking of the election by Bolton and his White Shirts and the 5 Activist Justices.
There was more outrage when W decided to govern as if he had a mandate, instead of having lost the popular vote and been appointed to the Oval Office.
There was more outrage when it became clear that secrecy would rule, and that Bush and Cheney didn't hold themselves, or any of their people, accountable to the American People.
None of this approached the level vitriol and hatred that racist rightists have directed at President Obama. In fact, immediately after the attacks on 9/ll, the entire country, and the world, rallied behind President Bush. He had something like a 97% approval rating in the ensuing couple of weeks. Of course this was an emotional response to the attacks, and would not last. Bush, however, made sure of that, and squandered both world and American goodwill.
The longer he was in office the more unfit he showed himself, and the more his actions revealed a contempt for that "g*dd*mn scrap of paper," and for the American people. This contempt came back to him, in spades. But to compare the abuse he received in his first six months with that endured by Obama is ludicrous.
They have balls, unlike a lot of people in the MSM and newspapers.
I've sent ANOTHER email to Lou Dobbs, but I don't expect anything. I called him out on this crap, but I think he is a coward. Thoughts anyone?
Does anybody else think it's funny that only WEALTHY WHITE MEN are complaining about racism? Did I miss something?
