Re #5/SAF: “[...] It is (still) a free country. Chris Mathews has every right to be in the tank for Obama. At least he isn’t subtle about it. [...]‘
SAF, I find in your position the mixture of supeficial libertarianism and ostentatious enlightenment which generally infects liberals. And obviously, you’re wrong.
And here’s why: it is one thing to support in a rally in McArthur Park Obama and his wholesome views & acts, and it is an entirely different and WRONG thing to do the same from the position of authority which the traditional media still has. Many (although less and less) people still take the information coming from networks or other commmunications entities as IMPARTIAL & OBJECTIVE and having no shadow, PARTISAN intentions behind, something of a weather report’s, Underwriters Lab’s or geological survey’s solidity – and this assumption is taken advantage of, on daily basis, by the liberal-occupied communications establishment.
Remember the term “crime done under the color of authority”? False cops, false city workers, false INS or IRS agents who, either by intimidation or enhanced credibility perperate crimes, some quite vicious? The courts, when sentencing consider this type of background as an important, aggravating element – and in this situation is Matthews and his crew, who dressed as railroad workers wave to people to cross or not cross the rails as they see it fit, not according to the traffic’s precise realities.
Now visualise this: when you will come home tonight, and you will see the coroner’s etc. around your place and you will ask the neighbors why didn’t they stop the murderers enter your house, you’ll hear – why should we, it was just two city workers with clipboards, badges and an instrument for measuring radon.
SAF, they weren’t city workers – the murderers were Mathews and his lot.
