I am not stating that. What I am stating is that the media--especially MS-NBC & most of the other major main stream networks were so into Barack Obama--that the coverage was extremely biased--in favor of him.

I really could care less who anyone votes for--as long as they are informed voters. When you have a media that is all ONE-sided & biased toward ONE single candidate--that's when ACCIDENTS happen.

In fact a report came out that Barack Obama actually received more "friendly" news coverage than Bill Clinton & G.W. Bush did "combined" in their first 100 days. That's ridiculous.

Um, yes, we have ... you just haven't been paying attention.

2 wrongs have never made a right! Especially Obama quadroopling the deficit-"after campaigning & continually complaining about the Bush deficit-& then using an old & worn out statement that Republicans did it--so it's my turn. That's basically what he said.

What a dumb remark for him to make.

If everything the Bush Administration did was evil, and if every conservative defends those evil deeds; does that somehow mean that whatever Obama does is ok? I don't get your "arguments". Do you ever look at the current administration without first deciding if you think that the previous one got away with something worse? Do you not have a sense of right and wrong absent some sort of fluid benchmark to glance back at? It's absolutely fascinating.

Your red herring aside, I never said two wrongs make a right. We're talking about rights being flushed down the toilet. I simply assert that this also happened under Bush's watch as well and if those complaints were registered then as is now.

If AkDiesel didn't give a fuck then, I can't be bothered to sympathize with him now.

I'm complaining now as I was back then. It's called consistency, something I rarely see emanating from the Right.

Nope, you don't get to put words in my mouth, pal.

I asked a simple question. If you can't comprehend it, or if it is too complicated for you, don't answer, but don't try to set up a straw man.

The question is:

Were you protesting then?

A simple "yes" or "no" answer will suffice.

Rights have been going down the toilet from the days of Johnson.... Each President after ward has taken it a few more steps.

Yes I was and I was when Clinton was doing the same things with the removal of rights.

You couldn't illustrate my point more perfectly.

I'd put words in your mouth if I could, but they'd come out all fucked up.

With regards to your question, I think this is it - "hey [rights] already went down the toilet during the disaster we call the Bush presidency. Were you protesting then?"

You've embedded an arguable premise so your question is unanswerable.

Just so that you know , yes when I was young dumm and full of male hormon I was a GOP card carring member, but then in the 90's I woke up to the fact that there is no difference between the DNC and GOP and thus I turned in my card. I no longer belong to any party of this country and have not voted for a D or R for the last 20 years. YOU? still voting for the party that got us into this mess 40 years ago?

To be honest it's kind of hard to compare the cost of 9/11, 2 insuing wars, & Hurricane Katrina

TO:
spending (as I am watching now)-- economic stimulus bill--spending 700K on the study of Catfish genology--98 million for Hollywood to buy film--75 million for smoking cessation--500K for the study of why men don't like condoms--64 million in bonuse's given to AIG executives--another 200+ million in bonuse's given to Freddie/Fannie exec's--20 billion to Acorn, 137 million for a natural history museum for Las Vegas, 600 million for a train from Disneyland to Las Vegas.

This is just a smidgen of the waste in the stimulus & ominus bill that was signed by Barack Obama.

That releasing the people in question will result in them rejoining the fight, and civilian courts are incapable of dealing with them.

Military tribunal followed by execution would solve the problem, but no one seems to have the stones for that anymore.

Re: Racheal Maddow--MSN-NBC goes after OBAMA--liberal media changing?

But Obama was talking of closing that place, but never said what he was going to do with them, now he continues to talk of closing, but moving them to where? and doing what?
Obama told the left what they wished to hear last summer and now looks to just continue what he was slaming last summer for the left.
Looks like Obama is going down the same road with improvements that Bush was going down. Was that what the people that fall at Obama's feet voted for?

Sad that they fell for the BS that the DNC what putting out there, not that the GOP was any better...
