Can the hypocrisy of the liberal media and many liberals in general be any plainer?

Question

Ever since Sarah Palin was named to be VP on the McCain ticket it has been a constant barrage against her character and her 17-year-old daughter. Their shamelessness is quite pathetic actually. They're devoting more resources and time into trying to smear this woman for relatively minute issues than they do getting to know there own dismal pick of a Presidential candidate, Obama.

Ask any willfully ignorant and dishonest liberal (not saying all are) about Obama's political connection to domestic terrorist William Ayers, or his self-admitted use of cocaine, or his 2-decade fervent participation with an ultra-radical and racist church and they'll brush it off as no big deal. Yet they are the same ones who start foaming at the mouth when you even mention the name Palin, bringing up a single DUI 20-some years ago and her pregnant 17-year-old daughter. As if everything aforementioned about Obama pales in comparison.

So my question is- Is there no shame in this country anymore? Is there no objectivity in the mainstream media anymore?

Answer 1

Of course they are and CNN.  Great point.  All of Obama's campaign commercials have been redundant over one little thing.  Is the news on Palin's daughter really necessary news?  How is it showing any relevance to the candidates and this election?  CNN stirs all this c**p up causing Fox News to fire back.  If Obama wins, he will be the first black man to be President and first preacher to be President as well.  That's all he does is preach.  Preachers make stuff up, are redundant and say what they need to say to get people to think and create movement.  This liberal media is turning everything into a movement rather than a campaign.

Answer 2

I'm ashamed of the present administration.  8 years in and Bush sill looks like he is learning how to not put his foot (or Chaney's d**k) in his mouth.

Not to mention the absolute disrespect for the re-written constitution under this regime with the lawyers getting around the law.

If this bush builds a library, all that will be in it will be comic books.

Answer 3

The simple answer is "No".

Mr. Spreadle's comment is a fine, if not crude, representation of what passes for  "objectivity" in mainstream media.

Answer 4

It's called politics.  They do it all the time.

Remember the Clinton impeachment trial?  Exact same thing.  They took a stupid private issue and blew it out of proportion.  That's the way partisan politics works.

Answer 5

Republican politics: denounce anyone who disagrees as lib/dem, because anyone who is Republican must certainly agree with everything the party has done, does, and will do to be a conservative Republican.

Sounds strangely like the philosophy of a certain German party during the 1930s.

Answer 6

is pointing out someone else's hypocrisies being a hypocrite?

that's all we're doing... we're not saying what she is doing is bad or good, only that conservatives should not be accepting of it...

but like a child to their favorite stuffed teddy bear, conservatives have wrapped their arms around "pre-marital s*x and teen pregnancy" and gave it a big "what's so bad about this" hug...

by your assumption, anyone that complains about Al Gore not abiding by his global warming tenants, must also live by those same tenants?

is that really what you think?

Answer 7

I was, up until recently anyways, under the distinct impression that Sarah's daughter wasn't nominated nor is she campaigning for anything.

But the liberals are beginning to make me believe that she must somehow be a critical component in this election - certainly more important than Obama's prior associates, his obvious inexperience, his wavering on almost every issue, his previous hard drug use, his empty promises and his cut throat politics when campaigning in Chicago.

Answer 8

I agree, they are totally shameless.  We have the least experienced and least known Presidential candidate in history and all they can talk about is Sarah Palin.

Answer 9

When someone chooses to thrust their family onto the political stage, then yes, their actions will undergo some scrutiny. I don't understand your assertion that liberals are "foaming at the mouth." It's not as though many true liberals think that pre-marital s*x is evil. The issues surrounding Bristol Palin's pregnancy highlight Sarah Palin's extremely conservative stance on abortion, comprehensive s*x education, her hypocrisy regarding "family values", etc. Perhaps if Palin believed that her daughter should have the choice of whether or not to carry her pregnancy to term, then liberals wouldn't care. But since Palin doesn't believe *any* woman should have that choice-even if the woman was raped-then yes, this issue is "fair game."  

Answer 10

The Obamacans will throw any body under the bus to elect their messiah.  They'll even forfeit their own souls.
