    See, the major media cheated in favour of Obama by reporting honestly about McCin and his campaign…

    Have you noticed that even C Asay doesn’t consider Fox news as mainstream. And where’s Sen McCains “base motivator”? Nothing like being objective here. PS fairportfan, good comment.

    OK, Chuck, I’m tired of all this negativity. You’re off my list forever. Your worldview is NOT biblical. It’s partisan and mean.

    If the Mainstream Media is so biased…why did the Republicans run the White House for the past 8 years and congress from 1994 to 2001 and from 2002 to 2006? How could that be possible with such biased reporting? Fear not the truth…for the truth shall set you free.

    arosenheim,fairportfan,
    You are totally correct.
    Truth, Is a hard pill to swallow, especially when someone is choking on prejudice.
    Our new President is an American, not an African American. Get It?

    The 1994 Stephen King/Frank Darabont classic The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman is right in there among my favorite films.

    Well, today, it popped straight to the top. Here’s why (special thanks to the IMDB quote section):

    Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t get that from you… Haven’t you ever felt that way about music?
    Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn’t make much sense in here.
    Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget.
    Red: Forget?
    Andy Dufresne: Forget that… there are places in this world that aren’t made out of stone. That there’s something inside… that they can’t get to, that they can’t touch. That’s yours.
    Red: What’re you talking about?
    Andy Dufresne: Hope.
    Red: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

    Andy Dufresne: [in letter to Red after his escape from prison] Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

    Red: [narrating after his release from prison while breaking parole to leave the country] I find I’m so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

    And THAT is what Obama’s victory means to me.

    Yes. We. Can.

    Let the idiots believe the media favored Obama causing him to win… if they can’t deal with the truth they’ll lose again & again!

    To throw in my two cents, this cartoonist is just plain wrong!
    No objectivity here.

    Stew - The media has been all over the concerns regarding the Obama campaign. I’m actually surprised by the number of people I know (on all points of the spectrum) who have said that it seems like the media in general really tried to do honest service to the candidates and their detractors in this race. The ones who really lost were the third party candidates who, once again, were given no media voice at all.

    dang stewie… a few comics ago were just saying how minorities need to stop giving excuses…. fckin hypocrite…

    besides everybody knows that nobody controls the media except for ratings.

    I know I shouldn’t feed the troll, but….
    Stew, Stew, Stew. Several independent studies have shown that the media was went much easier on McSame than Obama. You can’t blame the media. Perhaps you could blame a VP candidate who didn’t now that Africa is a continent, not a country?

    Ha ha. Then how come so many people openly voted for him simply and only because he was African-American, and honestly admitted political issues were secondary. They made this election that of selecting a token. A figurehead that simply waves “Yes, we can” but does nothing for our confidence in the man. This man is no more qualified to run this country than Al Sharpton or David Letterman or Al Franken.

    I would add that Mr Obama is not our President for another 75 or so days. Neither is he more than 6.25% African-American. He is more white and Arab than black. He chose to associate himself or present himself as such out of preference or expediency. If he wants to call himself that, fine. What matters is his qualifications…

    Yeah, the American people have spoken. I got it. It does not mean they did so either intelligently or responsibly.

    It’s pretty obvious that this election was treated as a beauty pageant by a lot of people, and that they were casting votes based on pride, emotion or guilt. Pride is a very dangerous thing, clouding judgment, and “goeth before the fall.”

    Here comes the New New Deal, conveniently blamed on Bush and Co, a more widespread depression, and 9th circuit wacko judges on the SCOTUS, higher taxes, more misery, and enemies who flat out said they preferred Obama (what does that tell any intelligent American voter?!) and can’t wait to test his (lack of) mettle.

    ^What crock of BS, are you sure you’re living in the real world?

    This cartoon is spot on!!
    The Media and unfair “Campaign expenditures” elected this President,…well, add low GOP base turnout to that…..

    Let’s see what happens, but remember that 58 million cast votes for other that Obama..

    Certainly no landslide, much less a mandate.

    The rationalization of the right - began back in the 80s when the right had to deal with the contradictions - if the world is not how you want it to be, just create your own!

    “Openly voted”? Do you manage to vote in secret, s2e? Considering your warped mind, perhaps thats best.

  19. Corosive Frog

    Corosive Frog said, about 1 year ago

    s2e; a good deal of people voted for Obama because people like you, the “he’s an arab”, “he’s a traitor” croud divide america and ruined McCain’s campaing.

  20. s2e

    s2e said, about 1 year ago

    Hey, Dwill, I take it you have credentials for such judgment of my mind rather than addressing my opinion? Oh, sorry, you must be a liberal - those who either call names, throw out pointless one-off emotional anecdotes, or just get louder before changing the subject.

    Yes, I voted via sealed envelope, absentee, from Iraq.

    And yes, there were countless exit interviews where people indicated had no clue what they were voting about other than perceptions of one man’s color being the sole qualifier for this responsibility.

    ColPappy, uh, I think revisionism, mediocrity via diversity and dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator in school, the military, and with Ebonics and such are all indicators of failures of liberal logic (a misnomer) and rationale.

    As for Cor(r)osive Frog’s attempt - I cannot offer you a respectful answer when you don’t show enough self respect to attempt to even spell your handle properly, and to try to spell 50% of what you have written correctly. Sorry, you must be a product of the NEA’s influenced public school system. My apologies for your victimization. You can use that, you know. Some of those congregation-less reverends have extorted (literally) a pretty good living and who knows what riding the victimization express. Another one of those successful liberal ideas. No work for huge payoffs.

    Well, ok, back to the point - when did the liberally-leaning and pro-Obama press ever come out and ask any real hard questions about his Marxist philosophy? The deliberate neglect of the press to question that very anti-American and proven failed philosophy was not benign. This nation was founded on capitalism and that is what has been an essential part of the formula that has made it great. Socialism and Marxism, central tenants of the Democratic grasp at power, are indeed traitorous to the 200+ years of risk-taking, investment, toil and sacrifices of our forefathers.

    Y’all enjoy your social justice tailgate party. When the whistle blows, we are likely in for at least four more years of Carter-era malaise and regression.

    This is the internet, if people freaked out over every single grammaical mistake, we would all be nuts!

    I gather that a “Marxist” includes a much larger group than those who follow Marx - namely, anyone who believes that government might have some solutions that cannot be achieved by the private sector.

    hey machado-
    checked out your links…. perhaps mccain/palin might have gotten better coverage if they had kept media access at the level mac set in past races. add that to the cloistering of palin (which, considering her breath-taking paucity of expertise in matters international-putin rearing his head, punked by faux sarkozy, africa is a country? etc- was probably a wise move), and mccain’s repeated gaffes and missteps(‘suspending’ his campaign, choosing palin, ‘my fellow prisoners’, ‘i couldn’t agree more (that w. pa. voters are racist)’ to name but a few recent glaring examples), and it’s no surprise the coverage was less than glowing. let’s not forget what a media darling mccain has been for so many years… they still call him a maverick despite his reversal on so many issues he had rightfully earned the label for (falwell, torture, pro-choice, immigration, etc etc). to claim the media was in the tank for obama is this election cycle’s version of-remember 2000?-‘Sore-Loserman’

    Has anyone tried saying StwoE out loud?
    sockpuppet… perhaps?

    It was a picture book campaign by Obama right up there with the way Holyfield handled Tyson neither played the other’s game,
    and came out on top honorably!
    You got another vote coming in four years…
    Kwitchyerbelliakin’!
