Cartoon – United or Divided?

*** EDIT ***
Given the “passionate discussion and comments, I did a bit of digging and found some stats at Hot Air.
In 2004, Bush beat John Kerry by winning 62.04 million votes. In 2008, Obama won 62.443 million, a gain of only 400,000. In 2004, Kerry garnered 59.028 million votes; John McCain only got 55.386 million. That means this election saw 3.24 million fewer votes than four years ago. Far from being more energized, the nation appeared to be more apathetic.

Joe Biden Gaffes Again
Posted on October 21st, 2008 by admin
Joe Biden has gaffed it again. The Democrat vice presidential candidate guaranteed that if Barack Obama is elected president, there will be an international crisis within six months. I was especially curious to see how the Obama-loving media would report this potentially huge verbal faux pas by the Delaware senator.
As I expected, hardly a ripple in network television and the news above the fold focused on Britney Spears new hairstyle but no mention of Joe Biden and our impending international crisis. The old double standard was working overtime. I found myself wondering how the MSM would have treated Sarah Palin if she had said something the same thing.

CNN Cracks ACORN Again
Posted on October 13th, 2008 by admin
I have been very critical of the MSM regarding their overt bias and over/under reporting. I am always glad to give a hat-tip to CNN when they do a good job.
…the detail about the 2,100 phony registrations in Indiana is recycled from the segment Ed posted on Friday but the close-up of the registration forms and the extended interview with ACORN’s lawyer are new, proving that not only is CNN sticking with this story but they’re actually building it out. And not just this one. Remember, Drew Griffin’s also responsible for that clear-eyed, bolt-from-the-blue look at Obama’s relationship with Ayers. What on earth’s going on over there? Are they worried that MSNBC will be the Obama administration’s mouthpiece of choice so they’re slapping him around a bit as a warning not to make enemies of them?

Rage On The Front Page
Posted on October 13th, 2008 by admin
Just when I was gaining some confidence that the MSM was exercing a bit of fairness.
Alert Paul Krugman and Frank Rich! There’s another outbreak of campaign-induced rage to report. Dissent has been stifled. Free speech is under assault.
By Democrats.
Oh, never mind.
If it were a Republican mob, you know this would be front page on the NYT and echoed on MSNBC, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, etc., etc., etc….
Michelle Malkin » More Democratic rage not on the front page.

Obama Makes False Claim to Cut Spending
Posted on October 8th, 2008 by admin
Only in the weird world of Quantum Mechanics can math like this be explained. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, an independent, group analyzed Obama’s tax and spending plans.
They result in a net increase of spending of $281 billion.
The claim that, “Actually I’m cutting more than I’m spending so that it will be a net spending cut” is totally false.
How did the morning shows in the MSM confront this? They ignored it.
NewsBusters highlights this problem while AP takes issue with both candidates on factual errors.

CNN Says Obama Is Lying About Ayers
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by admin
Give a hat tip to CNN and Anderson Cooper for reporting on the link between Barack Obama and unrpentant domestic terrorist William Ayers.
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know how abhorent double-standards are to me. I regularly criticize the media, and anyone else, for praising one person and condemning another person for exactly the same action.
On that rare occasion when a regular transgressor gets things right, I am glad to call attention to their good deed.

LA Times edits out McCain’s remarks on economy
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by admin
Yesterday, McCain blasted Obama and the Democrats for the mess we are in. How does the LA Times cover the story? They pretended he never said anything about the economy!

What If Sarah Palin Was A Democrat
Posted on October 6th, 2008 by admin
I have been asking myself, What if Sarah Palin was a Democrat?” How would the media be treating her? Would they like her? Would she be treated like an outcast by the National Organization of Women?
Hot Air has a great blurb in their Quote of the Day.
If she were a Democrat, her unusual life would be spun into a compelling narrative that would make her the darling of the coastal elite.
