It's funny how DU used to rail against the MSM - but now that they are annointing Obama

[jlake]

the MSM is to be trusted and can do little wrong and any questioning of them is "Tin foil thinking" and "Blaming the MSM for Hillary's decisions"

Sounds an awful lot like the Republicans in years past.

1. A spurious claim is just that

Obama supporters have certainly not said the MSM can do no wrong. And If there are posts claiming the things you place in quotation marks, you haven't give any evidence to support it.

You're just pulling crap out of your nether regions and telling us it's fact. It's not. It's crap and it stinks.

[jakem]

4. well said cali-

here jthat?

-keep your nether-crap to yourself!!

[Lerkfish]

2. its always sad when the chickens come home to roost

and people have the endure the same treatment they used on others.

oh woe is them.

[complain jane]

3. I agree.

The whole fanatical cult energy among some Obama supporters looks and feels the same as the Republicans when they drank the Kool-Aid and came unglued over anyone's questioning of him or his supporters.

Bush was all hat & no cattle, let's hope Obama can do something wonderful despite his lack of experience and base of looney supporters (those of them that are looney, yes I know, much of his base isn't acting like this, I'm just talking about the most vocal lunatics).

5. Old J

needs to jump in a lake. Posts are getting very weak, tired, boring and just plain nuts.

[jlake]

WTF does that mean?

[Hepburn]

16. Would you like a link to an on-line dictionary?

Or should we just spell it out in monosyllabic terms for you?

Your call....

[jlake]

17. Please spell it out.

20. You must work for Bush?

Take your torture practices elsewhere.

[apocalypsehow]

28. Ahem. See my post #9 below? Still waiting on that link. Thanks.

n/t.

[whatchamacallit]

30. Ha, if anyone is suspect for working for Bush...

Your propagandizing is so relentless, focused, and single minded, I'm not even sure you really support Hillary.

[jlake]

31. Hillary will win. Accusing someone of being akin to water torture (pre edit) is

very Bushesque.

[complain jane]

6. And yet, you click on them.

[maseman]

11. Most of the time not

In this case I didn't read the poster...

However it is getting to the point that I don't even have to look at the name...I can tell by the post who it is.

good luck!

[anitar1]

12. I think the hysterical supporters expect all matters to be

solved in the first 2 or 3 months of the presidency. Boy, do they have a surprise in store. I think many will turn on him by the end of the first year. Especially when they find he is not what he appears to be.No politician is what they appear to be during a campaign.

8. Not what I am seeing on CNN today

They are now into HRC can make a resurgence mode.

[rodeodance]

53. LOVED it---past time she got some good coverage of her campaign!

[nonconformist]

It's like they've been taken over by pod people.

I wonder if they ever just stop and listen to themselves sometimes. On and on about how we should disenfranchise voters; the media loves Obama, yay!; health care mandates are horrible (unless they're for children, of course); yay Republicans are on board, so we don't need large chunks of the Democratic base; the Clenis and his meaningless wife are responsible for all the ills in the world... I could go on and on.

[KoKo]

23. What you say....it's incredible what goes on here. n/t

[apocalypsehow]

9. And I just know you have a link to a post by an Obama supporter saying exactly that, right? Right?

:eyes:

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. I agree. Remember when we sent letters to MSM for their slanted coverage?

Remember when the MSM refused to cover anything negative against Bush? And Gore lost, in part because of the media?

And now, the Obama supporters on DU cheer when Clinton is attacked. Distortions, lies, they don't care as long as it helps their candidate.

So much for democracy.

[americanstranger]

24. And the Clinton supporters -never- do that, right?

Come on.

You've got a Hillary supporter on this board today, citing Mary Matalin as an unimpeachable source proving that Obama lies. Tell me when the last time was that anyone on DU trusted Matalin as a good source for anything besides Rightard bullshit?

I'd say that both sides engage in this, but each side is blind to their own transgressions.

[AX10]

45. True.

[Stand and Fight]

13. Very courageous that you posted this...

I've noted this myself, but in my strong dislike of arguing I've not voiced it. There was a time -- on this board especially -- when almost everything the MSM said was questioned; however, now the MSM, while not being called blameless, has somehow morphed into being almost completely trustworthy in its coverage and wholly without bias. Things are certainly bass-ackwards when this happens on DU. I grieve.

[jlake]

19. Thanks. I agree. I have edited the OP to more reflect what you said.

[JimGinPA]

14. Isn't It Funny How The Winners Always Get The "Good" Press

And the whiners are usually losers?

[jlake]

15. Yes. The question is which came first the chicken or the egg.

Obama is winning because of the press.

[JimGinPA]

29. I Would Point Out All The "Good" Press Hillary Got When She Was The Presumtive Frontrunner...

But you're not really interested in any kind of substantive discussion, you just want to slam Obama despite your lack of foundation for any argument.

[Stand and Fight]

41. Bush was a winner too... Might I remind you?

I also say that to point out the large gap in logic in your post. In no way do I mean to equate Obama -- a great man -- with that sniveling pile of puss, GWB.

26. MSM "annointed" Hillary the front runner a yr before a vote was cast. MSM isn't going to ignore 11

straight wins.

[jlake]

27. No, of course not - they created them.... why ignore their masterpiece?

[babylonsister]

35. The people are talking; you're just not listening. nt

[jlake]

36. Yes, they are saying that they want Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama has not run away with the nominatinon - much to your displeasure.

[babylonsister]

40. Tell that to folks who voted in the last ELEVEN primaries. nt

[jlake]

42. Tell that to the Democratic popular vote with is 50/50

Those GOP crossover voters are trying to torpedo our chances... I won't be fooled.

[babylonsister]

49. Wow, what a margin she's ahead by!

:rofl: Good luck Tuesday.
And do you have a link for that fabulous news?

[MR. ELECTABLE]

32. I call bullshit

The MSM isn't anointing Obama so much as they are realigning their spin with reality.
Obama has won 70% of the primaries and caucuses, and the last 11 consecutive contests.

With the most likely scenario for Tuesday being no change with respect to Obama's 150+ pledged delegate
lead, there is essentially no way for Clinton to ever overtake him.

What the media is doing now is called saving face. They don't want the public to actually wake up and realize
the MSM is just spinning bullshit to create controversy and keep their ratings up.

The fact that they are still pushing her as a viable contender for the nomination is a laughable,
but the longer they can focus on the horse-race the more money they can make off of the respective campaigns.

The MSM con will continue until one of the campaigns leaves the race, either through bankruptcy,
realization they can not win, mathematical impossibility, or superdelegate/democratic party force.

I'm betting the MSM knows the party is about to force its hand next week, and doesn't want to be on the
wrong side of a losing argument.

[americanstranger]

33. That sounds about right to me.

They desperately want to wash away that history of Hillary's 'inevitability.' They hate being wrong, so they'll just move on to the next thing that they can get right.

[jlake]

39. Wrongo. Hillary is 44!

[shenmue]

34. Good point.

Glad someone else hasn't got the blinders on.

Notice all of Obama's big gains have come in the states where you can cross party lines to vote?

You think any Republicans are bulking up on the Obama side to sabotage Clinton's chances? Hmmmm....

A lot of Obama voters simply aren't old enough to know what happened to the country in the 1990s. They don't remember the virulent Republican hatred for the Clintons and how they'd literally do anything to wreck the Clintons' lives.

Dollars to donuts that's what's happening here. The Obama people are walking around in a fog like they don't even know this could happen.

It's hilarious to see the Obama camp's new love for the media now that all the polls-- and anyone can order a poll, by the way-- are so up and down. They report the ones in his favor, but they say nothing about the ones that show support for Sen. Clinton. And of course they never mention the crossover factor.

It's not popular to say this on DU, but this is definitely still a race.

[stop the bleeding]

37. I remember when links were posted and not just opinions nt

[jlake]

38. Back in the late 1800s maybe.

[stop the bleeding]

46. thanks for the jackass response, fucking grow up nt

[jlake]

47. Sorry, but I read very few posts with links to anything other than blogs that could've been self

authored anyway.

But seriously, lighten up.

[stop the bleeding]

48. ok

fair enough, I just hate seeing blanket statements put out on DU without anything to back them up thats all.

[rodeodance]

52. I assume your comment applies to Obama supporters also?

[AX10]

44. That is one of many Obama/Bush comparisons.

I will have no sympathy for the Obambots in the fall when the msm turns on him.

[saltpoint]

50. The primaries and caucuses have given Sen. Obama is edge in delegates

who in turn will cast support in Denver this fall.

DU is a great place but we aren't running the election.

[sueragingroz]

51. well said.

[JoFerret]

54. Does "our time"

mean msm?

Why do I have the sense it does not include me?
