Scott McClellan: White House Fed Fox News Talking Points
For those of you not as politically savvy as FoxNews viewers, here's the technical way talking points work: The Bush White House told Fox News what to say and Fox News said it.

Short of saying that Barack wants to sleep with your daughter, O'Reilly used just about every button meant to alarm his white fans to the fact that a President Obama could set off race-laced fireworks.

Brett Farve, after three years of playing the NFL's Hamlet -- each new off-season brought reruns of "to play or not to play" -- finally retired. But now he's stumbling to come back.
I give the New York Times extra credit for not publishing the McCain piece. The op-ed might have sold some extra papers, but it would have definitely not been up to the standards of the paper.
You have a foolish, self-promoting pastor or you have an out of touch, let-them-eat cake, arrogant advisor and official surrogate and spokesperson who insults Americans. Which is worse?
Today's "Right Wing World" from The Stephanie Miller Show brings us several Republican talking heads attempting to spin why Obama's current overseas t...
I believe that people in every corner of the country and of all political stripes would react with an equal level of disgust when we hear remarks of the sort that Liz Trotter made on FOX News.
An "O'Reilly Factor" producer cornered PBS's Bill Moyers at a conference on media reform this weekend, leading Moyers to demand an unedited interview about Iraq. Angry journalists piled on.
Coulter's job is to inject into the Republican echo chamber racist words that would be unacceptable anywhere else, and she's now given away the far Right's anti-Obama strategy.
I thought that eventually I would be numbed to the sensory assault of the channel, but you don't get used to it -- it just drives you nuts. It's like your television is trying to attack you.
Nas not only has a penchant for headline-making titles, his ability to condense complex topics into manageable sound bytes without losing their depth of discussion is unmatched.

Objectification is not the same as admiration. It is just a sad attempt for anatomical standing ovations. You are an anchor woman for goodness sake.
Even if you've already seen this film, viewing Outfoxed again now will cast an even harsher light on the damage done by this channel.
The Republicans are going to look as out of touch a few years from now as did the isolationists and "America First" folks after World War II.

We Clinton supporters have been saying the same thing for weeks.
I personally know of 4 people who will only vote for Obama if Hillary is on the ticket. If he doesn't pick her, they will be sitting out this election. They aren't the only 4 people in the country who feel this way. I like Obama, but he has failed to bring these certain voters to his side.
Benny Hill had a wonderful little ditty that applies here.

Obama has not closed the deal becasue it is July. He is just about where he needs to be. He is still etting the American people know who he is. The "season" for closing the deal is the fall not the summer.
I am worried about the poll numbers, they make no sense, don't seem to be realistic. So I am hoping that the problem is in the polling "process". I suspect polling has not kept up with the times and is
simply decadent and outdated, not reflecting reality. If they poll on land lines only, then the whole
process IS A JOKE and meaningless.
If you are a Republican it must be very difficult to support the hypocrisies and outright lies of your political leadershp over the last twenty five years. With each new election those elected who promised to be Republicans have taken their party and this country in a direction that has stunted the intellectual growth of the country at large, focused more wealth into the hands of the wealthy, allowed Christian religious beliefs to be weaved into our government, encouraged the selfish raping of our environment by our largest corporations, physically enlarged the bureaucracies of our government, expanded the role of law enforcement, reduced the amount of freedoms enjoyed by all, and ultimately made it significantly harder for the average American to live a nice, healthy life.
John McCain is a part of the decline of the Republican party, his tenure in DC covers the same time period of this erosion of basic principles that make us all American no matter what we believe. He is part of the reason this once great party is now a bunch of old white men who are fearful of the secret powers of the vagina, fearful of islam, fearful of immigrants, fearful of science, fearful of change and fearful of an intelliegent and educated electorate.
A vote for McCain will continue to promote the decline of America but it will be hard to notice with all the lapel pins, flag waving, hands over your heart and god blessing everything going on.
IF true hillary should have won
