Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I know it is well past the time when anyone is going to be influenced by rational argument, but some of you really need to sit down and ask yourselves why you let the media manipulate you. There has been a clear media narrative this whole campaign, summarized pretty well by iceman. "Put aside any doubts about obama because he went to harvard law and is an articulate black man." That pretty much sums up the case for him. A lifetime of service by John McCain is brushed away as meaningless. He's old. Having brainwashed 51% of the public into trusting obama, they turn their fire on Sarah Palin. Has any candidate ever received the kind of mean-spirited personal assault ths woman has?
I hate to play the discrimination card, but most of you are against her because she is a woman and a Christian. An inexperienced liberal male governor, say Tim Kaine of Virgiania, would never have received the treatment she has received. There might be a few columns, then they would move on to the main event. The actual presidential election. Like our own obsessed ZZZ, the media just cannot let go of this woman, however. She represents that much of a threat to their worldview. An ordinary mother, not from the coasts, no ivy league degree, she just cannot be allowed into their club.
The media has no interests in actual accomplishments, for the obvious reason that their side has none. Obama has such a thin resume you have been brainwashed into gushing about how much you "trust" him. Do you even begin to understand how absurd that is? You trust a politician, and one that has no track record, no accomplishments, nothing to measure him by, other than you feel good about supporting a black man who doesn't seem to be obviously crazy or contorted by rage.
Biden has spent 35 meaningless years a s a senator with next to nothing to show for it. John McCain has his name on major pieces of legislation, some of them ill-advised to be sure, but at least he got things done. Biden? A lot of hot air. His reputation is he is the Senate's leading windbag, which is saying something.
In her short career Palin has rooted out offical corruption in the energy industry and deposed corrupt members of her own party. Frankly, she has done the sort of things that can get you killed in a place like Alaska. Katie Couric may sneer at her, but it's a record of actual accomplishment. Obama? Community organizer.
