10 Things the MSM Can Celebrate if Obama Wins
Sometimes when I look at the PJ Media home page, when I see Roger L. Simon ripping into the Benghazi story, say, or the mighty Victor Davis Hanson unpacking the Obama record and the thought behind it, when I read Roger Kimball’s Olympian insights or Stephen Green’s stiletto wit, when I kick back with a column by Driscoll, McCarthy, Walsh, Ledeen, any of them, I can’t help but feel a certain sense of smug satisfaction. I can’t help but think, “Man oh man, is it ever fun to be one of the good guys!”
It’s not just the brains and talent these characters pack — though there’s simply nothing like it on the left, there really isn’t — it’s the fact that each and every one of them spends his writing time trying to get at the truth. They may err. They may have a bad day and miss the mark. But none of them — not one — is trying to fool anyone or suppress anything, or trying to get anyone to confuse their opinions with facts. Whether their favored candidate wins or loses on Election Day, they can sleep well, knowing they’ve done their jobs.
So that makes me wonder: what will it be like on November 7th for the journalists who have sacrificed their integrity to their ideology, the people I mean at the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, NBC News, ABC News, and so on, who convinced themselves that their political point of view was so right, so virtuous, so true that it was somehow okay for them to skew the facts, suppress the stories, and game the numbers as long as the distortions helped their candidate to victory. If their man loses, God help them, they’ve stained their professional honor beyond redemption; they’ve made themselves nothing, and will be left with nothing.
I said it in the comments of a previous PJM thread, and now I have to say it yet again: This article, like several others on this site, is pre-gaming an R loss, and preparing it’s readership for the big letdown. And here’s the main point, this pre-gaming is only happening on the R blogs. It’s absent on the D blogs.
The people in-the-know, the folks paying attention to the polling and penning the front page articles, all see the same thing. Are they right? We’ll find out on Tuesday. But there is no question they are expecting a second term.
By Thursday we’ll get another one of these articles as the pre-game continues.
Well, thanks for that. I feel so much better informed now.
With this post, the General is just trying to establish some bona fides as a an impartial observer. Then having lulled us into thinking he is independent (not !) he will start to spew, as usual, his illogical talking points. BTW, there will be no let down for me if Obama wins. Just a resolve to keep fighting and to protect myself, my family and friends in any way that I can from the freedom-sapping destructiveness of the “progressive” ideology. Eventually it will implode on its own if we can’t vote it out.
The only way Obama will see a 2nd term will be through a rigged election, which I believe is very possible. The progressives and their UN observers will be the ones counting the votes.
Most of the voting machines are manufactured by those who control the supply of fiat money here in the states and the EU. Now that the progressives have their Destroyer & Chief in the WH, they are not about to hand their power back over to the conservatives.
The progressive political machine has taken control of both ruling parties, the educational system and 95% of all the information and its narrative within the MSM. They control most major corporations and all the banks. They control the printing press as well.
This individuals are now in control of our healthcare and the decisions of who will live and who will die. Its the ultimate power trip over others. The progressives will basically finish off any natural law that has been granted to us by our founders. Progressive liberals are all about power over the masses. Freedom is not in the progressive playbook.
It’s called humor. I know it’s hard to recognize when you’re the target, but try. You’ll be a better person.
Nonsense! The Dem sites (nation of change, etc) are in meltdown mode, too! In fact, they are all actually threatening each other, with headlines such as “For all of you even THINKING about voting Republican…!” because, I would have to hazard a guess, so many of them ARE telling each other they’re thinking about voting Republican, and abandoning Zero’s sinking ship, this time!
Klavan knows they troll our sites, so he was just gently shaming them (for even thinking about staying on said sinking ship, and in fact helping the country sink) with this article!
General Tso the left wing moonbat TROLL trying a bit of red herring to go along with his strawmen. What a transparent fool you are General.
I was holding it together rather well – until #7, when I did an unintended spit take. The best truth always contains an element of satire.
As is always the case, whenever one goes against the grain one becomes a target. This is not to suggest that being obdurate, for its own sake, is laudable. In fact, it is downright stupid, and surely a waste of time – unless one is a two yr old during a meltdown!
Not only that, but the media has always been held to a higher standard,which by definition (and necessity)obviated any injection of personal biases. Truth in reporting, and all that nonsense.
However, they can no longer pretend that they are anything, but paid whores for the Dem machine, its ‘think’ tanks, as well as The One’s media organs.

And anyone who believes that this is only a travesty in the U.S., think again. In fact, Israeli media is rife with leftist hegemony, and they spin the narrative with the best of their fellow jackals. They are the bane of our existence-unless one is a committed leftist!
The leftists also hold the newspapers in France to the point it’s alarming. That’s why I visit PJMedia and other websites.
And here in Israel, oh my Gosh. Thank heaven for the internet. (P.S. You should here the reporting here on the US. Almost as distorted as the US reporting on Israel.) On the other hand, there are places you can get Fox News but not CNN. Wonder why there is more demand for Fox?
“Thank heaven for the internet.”
Absolutley. Expat in Germany here. I have had colleagues complain about Fox News and it makes them crazy when I point out they don’t broadcast Fox News here. Surreal.
Finland. For one thing, most of my people, the ones who read only Finnish press, are convinced Obama is sailing into an easy victory, that he is a wonderful president and a wonderful man and any Americans who vote for that sleazebag Romney have to be out of their minds and if Romney were to win your country would finally go down the toilet in no time. Except of course he won’t. Win, that is.
And that there is no doubt the Benghazi killings were because of a riot over a video, I haven’t been able to find even a single story in my language that there might be, shall we say, some questions about what happened there. Not in official press. I did find a couple of Finnish blog posts.
And so on.
So yes, thank God for the internet. I used to kind of trust our press. That while they might be slanted they would still surely be all over anything as juicy as, say, the Benghazi scandal. Never thought they would totally ignore something like that (well, the other alternative is of course that most of our journalists are simply completely incompetent, relying solely on what they can find in your MSM). But that was years ago, before the internet. No more.
“Sure, Obama gave most of his interviews to MTV, Rolling Stone, The View, David Letterman and Jay Leno and mostly he talked about nonsense! But it was our silence about the important things that really put him over the finish line!”
This is the essence of their complicity – and the half of the nation who are their mindless chumps may still reelect the liar-in-chief.
I fear the more dramatic situation comes from Romney winning. Consider what you said
“…If their man loses, God help them, they’ve stained their professional honor beyond redemption; they’ve made themselves nothing, and will be left with nothing…”
That means they must — absolutely must — to maintain their self-respect come up with a way of making Romney out to be an unacceptable president, showing that they were right about him all along. The recipe for doing this has been known ever since the media’s Nixon-haters used the Watergate scandal to drive him from office. Back then the media still had enough integrity that they needed an actual scandal to start their motors; today’s media are quite capable of making up something (like Dan Rather’s forged National-Guard papers) to destroy unacceptable politicians.
It is likely that very soon after inauguration Romney will have to establish his authority by breaking the power of the left-wing media establishment — first by staying in office against their unrelenting libels, and second by destroying their credibility beyond any hope of recovery. It will no longer be enough just to accept, the way Republicans have for decades, that the media will not report the news fairly and then try to work around it.
Realizing that it’s going to be him or them may require more political talent than Romney has.

Well, one starting point, without a soupçon of irony: a great big list of all kneepad ‘journalists’ at the Obama trough. Three competent onlookers could compile the list in less than a week. Then employ the bully pulpit and publicize from coast to coast, learning from Martin Luther.
People can decide for themselves what to do next, but at gov’t level — that includes any public sector worker spending taxpayer money, even the grayest bureaucrat in the dep’t of replacement license plates — any unauthorized contact would be a career-ending move. Clean out the WH press corps, and issue and withdraw press credentials on a whim — the more arbitrary and capricious the decision the better, just to teach ‘em a lesson. Plus one or two blanket bans — NYT, MSNBC and CNN top of the list. Personally, I’d give Helen Thomas’ old seat (fumigated and nicely reupholstered) to the Carmel Pine Cone, who would do a much better job.
The MSM have used and abused the first amendment for long enough. They can bleat McCarthy!, McCarthy!! for ever. We do not need and should not accept the ‘help’ of the shark-jumping Ms Crowley’s or Andrea Mitchell’s of the land. Nor should we defend them. You sow, you reap — especially the roster from the old Journolist.
The advanced class among us can then go after press agents and speaking fees.
What a whacked-out fruit loop this guy is!, I hear you say.
No, you have to ask yourself whether you want to win, and how to go about it. This way would work. A round of endless parsing, preening and turning the other cheek doesn’t stand a chance.
If Obama wins this election the US may soon experience another unprecedented assault on our liberties as your liberal neighbors will now celebrate their “mandate” to have mr incompetenence really sock it to us with a vengence. No doubt all this will be celebrated by the MSM. Meanwhile back in the real world our organizer in chief will finish his agenda and we will see Obama unleashed and untethered to any principles since he will have nothiing to lose while pursuing the liberal/marxist agenda he truly believes in. This will only be somewhat constrained by the fact that this guy in frankly pretty lazy and really does not like this job that much. What he wants is to exactly what he promised in 2008 and that is nothing less than “fundamental transformation” the likes of which will leave this country a giant waste land of failure on all levels. Maybe the MSM will cheer all this and maybe your liberal drone neighbors will strut around in their self rightious manner with the “we won screw you” mentality but we all know that these policies will lay low the economy, our security, and our freedom. Then having left this wasteland, perhaps then we will throw these bastards out. I sure hope it does not come down to another four years of this jerk and his army of mindless drones but as the saying goes “pray for the best but prepare for the worst.”
I think you’ll find that they’ll just be relieved.
Obama won’t do anything radical in his second term. He’ll keep a steady hand on the economic tiller and oversee the implementation of the reforms he passed in his first term. And he’ll keep encouraging democratic reforms in the arab world. That’s about it, is my prediction.
Anyone who claims to be able to make any kind of prediction about romney at all has simply not been paying attention to his campaign. He’s everything to all people, as well as the opposite.
You have not been paying attention the last 4 years of atacks on all fronts. Obama is not going to be steady eddy and he is not some benovlent jack ass like most democrats. He is a serious wrecking ball and if you don’t see this then either you are not informed or are willfully deluding yourself. He HAS an agenda and he is going to ram it down our throats just like he has done the first four years. Obamacare, EPA, CAP AND TRADE, RESTRCITIONS ON OIL LEASES, MORE REGULATION OF NATURAL GAS, DODD FRANK, UNRATIFIED APPOINTMENTS, MORE UNIONS, MORE SUBSIDIES, MORE CZARS, MASSIVE MILITARY CUTS, CAPITUALTION ON NUCLEAR WEOPONS TO PUTIN, SHITTING ON ALLIES AND SUPPORTING OUR ENEMIES. Now this is just the short list of crap from this guy. There is a SANDY style hurricane of crap coming our way if he is still in office.
From “The Audacity of Hope”: “I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”
Falsely accusing Romney of the VERY SAME THINGS that truly apply to Obama? You guys must be desperate. Good.
Nice try. When he ran for his first term, obama said what he was going to do and what he stood for. And, like it or not, he has actually set out to do it. Yes, yes, there’s the guantanamo thing. Sometimes reality gets in the way, not to mention congress. But I can’t quite see why conservatives harp on about that – you don’t want it closed anyway.
Romney has either flipped or gone quiet on so many things that he said during the primaries or during the campaign that he really could do (or not do) anything, and still stick to some aspect of his campaign. It’s not necessary to go dig up something he wrote as a student.
Yeh Gitmo was real smart. Why close the most benign prison in the world in sunny Cuba? This place was proven to be the best place to house terrorists of all types. So Obama’s misguied notions once again crumble under the realities of this world. The answer. No more prisoners so we can avoid usiing Gitmo. How do we do that? Well we just unleash drones and murder terrorists and their families and anyone else within 50 feet. Gosh I thought we need to read them their miranda rights first. How about putting KSM on trial in NYC another brilliant idea from this moron in chief. Obama’s latest cowardly act was abandoning our embassy and refusing to defend the lives of our people watchiing them die on satellite TV for his political campaign. A total disgrace is what he is. Not even mentioning fast and furious and the other 1000 things this creep has done in office but never been called to account for. He is the worst president in history but being supported to the brink by the MSM who have cast their sorry lot with this jerk and all of his drones. Totally unfit for this office and not worthy of the great country and people he is supposed to lead. Go back to chanting your talking points.
Geeez, Psychologically project much?
So … starting to spin it already? I thought that was what LIBERALS did.
Everybody has heard the benghazi allegations. It’s no secret. If people aren’t agreeing with you, it’s not because they haven’t heard the story. The people who bang on the most about a “republican war on women” are republicans. Democrats don’t need to do that -they can just point to the things that republicans actually do and say.
And there’s one thing that everyone knows is less likely than a democrat balancing a federal budget … it’s a republican doing it.
How do you think the media would’ve responded if his agencies had shipped guns to Mexico resulting in 300+ deaths?
How do you think the media would’ve treated Bush if he had publicly called American deaths “bumps in the road” or “not optimal”?
Are you aware that US deaths in Afghanistan have gone UP under Obama? What happened to those body counts in the paper I remember under Bush?
When was the last time you saw it mentioned that Obama’s budget didn’t get a single vote from HIS OWN PARTY?
What happened to those concerns over warrantless wiretapping, indefinite detention, guantanamo, military action without congressional approval, and all the other things Obama railed against as senator but endorses as president? Down the memory hole?
Why is it the when Romney changes his views on something it’s a “flip flop” but when Obama changes his policy positions it’s “evolution”? (see gay marriage, insurance mandates, taxing the middle class, war on terror etc.)
This last one is huge. Words matter. When Obama changes his views on gay marriage (for the second time, he favored it, pretended to be against it to get elected in 08, and favors it again now) he gets on the front cover of a magazine with a freaking halo on his head? Compare the media’s criticism of Bush to their fawning adulation of Obama, it’s as stark as night and day.
Romney hasn’t change his mind on “something”, he has changed his mind on _everything_. Multiple times in most cases.
What policies would a Romney presidency pursue? Nobody knows. There’s a reason that he only made it past 25% R support in the primaries on the back of a couple hundred million in negative ads.
Obama’s changed his mind on _everything_ too. Obama the senator, and Obama the candidate, are very different from Obama the president. Lets make a quick list of Obama’s “flip flops”
Promise:Reality
Vowed not to raise taxes on the middle class : Pushed Obamacare, which the SC says=tax
Promised to halve the deficit : Doubled the deficit
Promised the most transparent administration in history : claims “executive privilege” when challenged by a house committee.
Promised to close Guantanamo : Nope
Railed against executive military action without congressional approval as a senator : Libya
Was absolutely against health insurance mandates : Obamacare
Promised to be a bipartisan uniter to heal a divided nation : Most divisive president in recent history. Favorite phrase “I won”
Appoints an energy secretary on record as having a goal of $8/gal gasoline : Vigorously denies it during debate
Supported gay marriage as a chicago pol: found Jesus and opposed gay marriage: “evolved” his position and now supports it again
Promised an end to detaining people without charges or trial : Down the memory hole with that idea.
Promised to support missile defense : unilaterally dropped to appease Putin
Promised to reinvigorate nasa : Killed the manned space program and gave nasa the job of making muslims feel good about themselves.
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, I’m sure there are a few dozen more I’m forgetting right now. Also, lets not forget other shenaniganry like attending Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years, having him administer his wedding, then claiming he never knew the guy during the election. That’s a pretty epic flip-flop that makes Mitt’s look pale in comparison.
The one thing Obama is consistent on is that he thinks government is the solution to everything. The answer is always more taxes, spending, and regulation. As for the other issues, like healthcare, taxes, gun control, you name it, for every flip of Mitt, there’s been a flop of Obama’s
Are you guys familiar with the term “gish gallop”
*sigh*
I’ll respond, but it’s going to have to wait until the weekend. Do me a favor and back those up with some references, and I’ll work from there. I’m not keen on busting a guy explaining where you’re wrong just so you can move the goalposts.
Your “Romney may do this” and “Romney did that before his candidacy” are completely trumped by my “Obama DID do this” (and it wasn’t good) and “Obama did that AFTER he was in office (and THAT wasn’t good either).
We’re supposed to disqualify Romney based on suppositions about what he MIGHT do, while Obama has actually ALREADY performed horribly since coming to office? And that gives the nod to Obama? Where in the hell did you get your reasoning skills – the mainstream media?
Good analysis. Where we basically are is we are absolutely certain Obama will do the wrong thing, because he has already, constantly, and has shown no signs at all of regret or repentance, other than regret at not getting the people to support his lousy policies. We cannot be certain romney will do better, although he has said many good things, like supporting federalism, flattining the tax to pay for lower rates, and promissing to cut spending to 20% of gdp in his first term. Of course obamamade some good promisses too, like promissing to halve the deficit, and be bipartisan, all lies.
The only thing we know for certain is Obama will not do better, while romney at least has a decent chance to do better. On that basis, I’ll take romney.
So how’s all that ‘Hopey Changey’ thing working out for you General. Because for the American people it has been a colossal FAILURE. Fewer Americans are working now than when the USURPER took office so forget the 5 Million jobs ‘Saved or created’ nonsense and the 7.8% GERRYMANDERED unemployment rate. According to the USURPER himself Bush was ‘Anti American’ and ‘Unpatriotic’ to create $4 Trillion of debt in 8 YEARS but the USURPER has created $6 TRILLION in debt in only 3.5 years so what does that make him. Average earnings have DROPPED from $55K p.a. under Bush to $50 K p.a, under the USURPER. Food stamp recipients have gone UP 17 Million under the USURPER. Discounting unemployment benefit and Medicare under the USURPER American Taxpayers are paying out $60,000 for every welfare recipient household. This is what the 47% who contribute NOTHING get an income $10,000 p.a. MORE than the average for those who pay their taxes. This figure no doubt includes YOU general sitting in Mummy’s basement churning out left wing propaganda.
Very well put, Techno! You qualify for the herd! Next stop…bottom of the abyss.
Appropriate name — techno is nothing but the endless repetition of mindless beats.
Actually, no. “Techno” is nothing of the sort, although I have to admit that I’m not a big fan.
I’d explain why I’m using this name, but I’d only get banned again. Oh, ok …
A few years ago I posted under another name. Then, one day, I pointed out that a poster on a thread outright called for the “offing” of a public figure. Literally – a “double tap”. I posted a follow-up saying I thought that was inappropriate, and sent a message to a feedback page saying that, while I thought the free-flowing exchange of views was excellent, calling for extermination of a living human being over a political disagreement really wasn’t the sort of thing I expected from a high-brow enterprise such as this.
Within the hour I was no longer able to post under my previous name (which was actually my real name). Oh, and my IP address was blocked as well. Pretty classy.
So I made this one up, and I use it rarely.
I’ve broken no rules, I’ve been civil, I’ve engaged in spirited debate and rarely run away. I’ve been honest. But that one comment saw me bumped.
Think about that.
You are getting more air time than any conservative would get on the Huffington Post. How much do they pay you sit in mom’s basement all day doing this crap?
With four more years of “greater flexibility” the Left Stream Media likely hopes that Bam-Bam can shut down the New Media and prop them back up.
Certainly a “Hush Rush” Bill can be either passed or implemented. Look a Cap-and-Trade. It couldn’t be passed so the EPA is just implementing it.
They can celebrate the coming of a return to dominating a field newly cleared of competition.
Direct hit. If I may let me tack on a line to #2.
“put a man in jail just for making a video- and if we keep quiet about people will still vote for him! That my friend is power!” Yea, and what that army colonel whats-his-name who got shipped off to Leavenwoth just because he wanted to see O’s birth certificate, hahaha, hand me another bottle.
The man that you are referring to, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, was jailed for refusing a legal order to go to Afghanistan, not because he “wanted to see the birth certificate.” It was a perfectly legal order, given by Lakin’s superior and not by Obama.
The problem with being a trust fund baby is that eventually the trust runs out. That’s when the true character of such individuals becomes manifest – and it ain’t pretty. The pay off for our side is that we’re not obliged to have any compassion for them. Not. One. Single. Ounce.
Hilariously true article. These so called journalists of MSM or LSM are beyond redemption. Sadly, they know they are lying but couldn’t care less if they were told they sold their soul to the devil!!
There are no more “liberals”. The leftists ate them whole.
And, there is no more “liberalism”. Or the silly and oxymoronic “progressivism”. These words are the rotary phones and buggy whips of today’s society. They serve no function other than nostalgia.
Leftism, the radical, angry, hostile, festival of betrayals that it is….is to “liberal” what a fox is to a whale. Both mammals… and from that point the differences in environment, form, function, size, and basic nature are universally different.
Leftism is also its own “reward” for its adherents. Bathed in disloyalty, oozing with treason, built upon layer after layer of lies and distortion…one cannot be a leftist without creating a virtual world of loathing tradition and then bloviating about it.
Leftism is a permanent protest culture. It is the primordial slime from Ghostbusters that thrives on negative energy. It seeks out ways to create divisiveness and “war” between people. Class warfare, racial warfare, gender warfare, sexual orientation warfare, age warfare, religious warfare. It gins up “victims” where there are none, just to feed off the carcass of dead relationships.
And, betrayal is its mother’s milk. It will take our homeland and find ways to denigrate it, trash talk it, buckle its knees, leave it open to enemy invasion, tear apart its borders, gut its military, weaken its might, strip its place in the world. And, it doesn’t treat our allies much better.
Peel a leftist and at his heart you will find betrayal. Tearing down the building blocks of the free market democracy is not a bug, it’s a feature of leftism. Obama is a radical leftist. The Democratic Party is crawling with them. We are in the Days of Betrayal. The mass media is a betrayal farm. Academia is a betrayal farm. Hollywood is a betrayal farm.
We are being cut up, shredded, torn to pieces by traitors. Leftism is their god, their country, their religion. They are….our enemies.
That is an exceptional articulation of leftism/progressivism. Thank you. There may be one add’l point… that the antidote for a leftist soul is humility. Humility is what contemplatives throughout the ages identified as essential for all personal advancement (intellectual, spiritual, emotional). Humility is what is profoundly absent in Leftist ideology. See David Horowitz’s book, “Left Illusions,” for further insights.
One other “feature” that you left off of your list. Leftists ALWAYS overreach. They will win (or steal) an election by a 1% margin, and then proceed to ram leftist policies through as though they have a “Mandate from Heaven” to force everyone else into their leftist utopia. At some point they make political violence against themselves licit by purveying it on others. Make no mistake, under Obama, political violence is just around the corner.
Andrew…the biggest assumption/mistake you make, is assuming Liberals HAVE or BELIEVE in honour. To the Left, honour is and old fashioned concept that has no mmeaning any more.
They have believed this for decades. If The One actually wins, they will very likely finally feel they can get away with saying it out loud.
My take is something once said by an editor to a cub reporter regarding “access” and “advocacy” type reporting, back when “journalist” was not a four-letter word;
“If you want to f**k the elephant, fine, but if you do, you ain’t covering the circus.”

If the almost unthinkable comes to pass and enough people are gulled into giving Misfire another four the MSM’s frat house boys and girls will congratulate themselves for being the bright boys and girls they think they are. They will also revel in how lucky they were to have gotten away with not reporting on multiple Obama administration scandals that would have put any Republican administration in front of a firing squad of public opinion. But after all their whooping and high-fiving over an O victory they might, just might, wonder, like the Lt. Colonel Nicholson character in “The Bridge over the River Kwai,” and ask themselves “what have I done?” But don’t count on it.

Sorry about the double post, but the first one didn’t seem to go through.
ON the evening of NOV. 6 I anticipate watching Chris “Tingles” Matthews sputter and spew violently after a long tete-a-tete with his best pal, Johnnie Walker.
If Obama looses the election the immediate reaction will of course be a tremendous cry of racism ignoring the historical fact that the country elected the guy in the first place. Shortly thereafter though the MSM will desperately need someone to blame for their failure. Since they are fundamentally incapable of accepting blame themselves they will turn their steely stare at their chosen one and suddenly “discover” every fault and flaw that escaped their notice for the past four plus years. There will be a feeding frenzy by the media to demonstrate how they were deceived by the evil charlatan who somehow managed to foil every honest effort to investigate his past.
Won’t work of course, folks are not quite that stupid and forgetful, but it should still be a grand display of rabid dogs eating their own.
A Romney win next week will be wonderful for the main street media! It will mean that they no longer will stand silent in the face of political filth, corruption and racism. They will, again, be able to make stuff up, attack the administration using smoke and mirrors, and welcome back folks like Cindy Sheehan and groups like Code Pink. Imagine the support the the occupy groups will now get, especially if the unions, commies, tinkerbells and dems support them.
There will be no ambiguity over who is responsible for what. Bush may have been responsible for what happened last week but Romney will be responsible for EVERYTHING, at least, from the day he punches in.
The media, in it’s eternal opposition to America and American tenets, will again want to be taken seriously. It is the obligation of every one of us to see that doesn’t happen!
I do know one thing. If Obama is (God forbid) re-elected, he will be impeached. No question about it. If not for Fast & Furious, certainly for what happened in Libya, ESPECIALLY in Libya. More and more information is coming out each day and if Obama wins, somebody in his administration is going to have to go down and take the blame. It will NOT be the intelligence services, because they know the truth and are not about to take the hit for Obama. Never, especially since Obama let the CIA men twist in the wind in Benghazi. So if Obama wins, Benghazi will be Obama’s Watergate. And the White House knows it.
What is it with people here and thinking that Obama will actually be impeached over ANYTHING? Bengazi is minor, he’ll sweep it under the rug, eliminating any inconvenient witnesses as necessary. Even if someone came out with conclusive proof that Bengazi was a planned event gone wrong the senate would not vote to convict him. You need 2/3 to do that. Obama could be caught on camera handing a truckload of weapons grade plutonium to the Iranians and Harry Reid would not allow his conviction in the senate to occur. Obama’s actions would have to be so heinous that they’d already triggered a civil war before you’d see an actual impeachment and conviction. Then you have the issue of the whole media batting for him. Nixon went down because the media was willing to dig. Here they’re doing the exact opposite. If a leak in the administration came to a MSM outlet with documents that would absolutely sink Obama, the media would probably burn the documents and kindly notify Obama of who the leak was. Nothing will stick to this guy, we’re dealing with criminality and complicity on a scale that the system simply is not set up to handle.
“…we’re dealing with criminality and complicity on a scale that the system simply is not set up to handle.”
Yup. The real test, and what the dictators-in-waiting are hoping, is if enough Americans are willing to submit to bondage in the exchange of feable personal guarantees, a few more “free” hand outs and social promises today that are unfunded for the the future and will never be realized.
They’re banking there are enough dupes to pull it off.
If the USURPER is re-elected then it will just be proof positive that the majority of the American electorate is comprised of Racist Blacks and MORONS. There could be no other possible explanation.
When Abraham begged the angels not to destroy Sodom they said they wouldn’t if they could find first 50 honest people then 40, 30 20 then ‘if we can find 10 honest people in Sodom we will not destroy the city’. BOOOOOMMMMM!
The Obama and the Dems are now openly and brazenly exposed and we see this as a warning of a pending BOOOOOMMMMM! I think that come Nov.6th that, perportionatley, we have met the minimum number of people who have awakened to WANT to change back to our founding principles. I could be wrong and The Obama may still have more damage to do but if it is up to ‘the vote’ then I think The Obama and the Dems have met their Waterloo. God help us.
You might add to your list:
“Ignorance is Strength.”
“Freedom is Slavery.”
“War is Peace.”
Poorly written article no imagination,uninspiring, and what other adjective I can think of but refuse to waste any more time on.
Well Tommy, your debating skills are above reproach, Heh Heh…
Funny, Klavan but if Obama wins the blame or accolades, take your pick, must fall on the electorate who were gullible, uninformed and therefore ignorant of all that’s happened or more accurately hasn’t happened over the past four years. The bias currently prevalent in the media is so palpable that it cannot be ignored by anyone paying attention. If Obama wins that means Benghazi, the stranding of American personnel in the terrorist haven of Libya, never registered as anything other than a minor distraction among the electorate. If he wins they will be justly rewarded with whatever Obama can destroy of the country they’ve been so easily convinced is desperately in need of transformation. Just don’t ask them to elaborate on the “transformation….into what?” and expect anything other than a blank stare.
Apparently MSNBC’s Chris Matthews’ nerves are a bit on edge. After his meltdown over global warming deniers, the Daily Rash reports he badgered a 20 year-old undecided voter so aggressively she burst into tears and ran from his studio. http://www.thedailyrash.com/chris-matthews-bashes-undecided-voter
If Romney wins, he will not only have defeated Obama and a left-wing media smear machine, he will also have trumped similar forces on the right. Virtually the entirety of talk radio and Fox wanted someone else. Someone more conservative, someone more strident, someone less Mormon.
Noot and Ricky from PA were big cogs in the Obama operation, doing the heavy lifting for what came to be an all-negative campaign. Before folks here get too crazy slamming the liberal elites, take a second look at how the right treated someone who is, theoretically, one of its own.
Bachmann, Perry, Noot, and finally, Ricky, all presented as the great conservative savior and each found wanting. I don’t believe it is a coincidence that all of Romney’s nomination challengers have been AWOL during this campaign. I believe each was told “no thanks; I got this far no thanks to you.” Mitt seems a genuinely nice guy. Until you cross him. Afterward, tu es muerta.
Though I may partly agree with you, you would be more credible if you spelled Newt’s name correctly,
I don’t have a horse in this race, but here’s a few thoughts:
1-The MSM rarely presents truth- their readers,listeners and viewers won’t tolerate it- the cognitive dissonance it creates is too disturbing.
2- ‘Who’s obsolete now??’ The public silence concerning the Libyan event is monumentally dwarfed by the public silence that occurred when the cynical 911 whitewash was presented, after which the incumbent was re-elected.
3- Black poverty and unemployment? Let’s not forget how important Reagan’s ‘trickle down’ theory is supposed to be. As the vampires (read too big to fails) suck more wealth from those who actually produce something…guess what?…less and less to trickle down and guess who’s at the bottom of the drip.
4- See #3 but one notch up from the bottom plus the long held belief that women’s bodies are controlled by the state and/or church which are controlled by…well…men, take your pick.
5- He’ll get over it.
6- Hey, look at us, We’re building military weapons. We need federal money, and lots of it, hahahaha. “You’re either with us (giving us lots of money) or you’re with the enemy.”
7- Pointless.
8- “Deficits don’t matter”- Dick Chaney
9- He should take a lesson from his snake oil salesman challenger. Maybe watch some of the Elmer Gantry skits for tips.
10- Yes the controllers have really unveiled their cynicism with the current puppet in chief….well maybe not, since they just may have Mr. Magic Underwear in the wings for the next act. He’s definitely got the look of someone who knows they’ll get their own planet in the next life.
Anyway it may be a good idea to vote for the guy you like the least (lesser of 2 evils….in your opinion) since the damage from a long series of administrations has progressed too far and whoever gets the nod this time will more than likely be the ‘lucky’ fellow that gets the lion’s share of blame when the house of cards collapses during their term.
you stated: I don’t have a horse in this race, then you proceed to display your blatant bias! Heh Heh. The really funny part though is, your style of “writing” is so convoluted that it is hard to read, sophomoric at best.
The media are criminally-negligent delinquents who pretend they can have the subjective right to make stuff up (“because all facts are really only opinions anyway!”) without the responsibility to report the objectively factual truth.
Are they correct in assuming this?! What is their legal mandate (if there is one)? Because fraud (lying) is the most basic form of theft (it’s the theft of the Truth) and theft IS crime!
As someone else recently noted: “The Fourth Estate have now become our Fifth Columnists!”
;-(
Mr. Klaven:
I expected something intelligent to be listed; I was saddened to get snark instead of substance.
Let me tell you why Obama will be reelected. It is because gun totin’ white educated middle class libertarian guys like me will not allow this country to be overrun with the fundies. My relief at not having religion at every turn is palpable. My gay sister and sister-in-law’s civil rights are not up for negotiation.
You forgot to tell us how Gay you are too Kowboy. Yo are worried about your girly friends FREE contraception and Abortion on demand how pathetic you are.
Nobody “demands” an abortion.
Get a grip.
Bozo.
Wow, once again I am in awe of your debating skills!
Honestly I find media bias fascinating and a bit hilarious. Do they honestly think no one sees through it? (Sure I know people who repeat nearly word for word whatever was on ABC News the night before and think they sound knowledgeable.) I think it’s funny: A crisis happens. The newsperson plays a Democrat spokesperson’s comment. Then to appear balanced, they find some third-party to paraphrase and comment on the Republican response. Or they allow the Democrat both give his reaction to the event and give his response to the Republican response. Or…well the variations are endless. Switching from active voice to passive voice or from declarative mood to subjunctive mood is always a fun way to spin stories, too.
The trolls are out big-time today. . . . .trying to earn that last paycheck from georgie soreass?
