Wow, that was big, coming from a Republican Presidentil nominee.

Last Friday, in Morning Joe, Joe and Tucker C. were talking about the same issue and their conclusion is that Sen Obama is a good man and somebody you are comfortable having conversation with. Tucker was saying that he touched on this in one of his shows but not thoroughly. But they look bothered. Bothered that this thing about Sen Obama was exposed? I wonder. Maybe they have changed their political view. Maybe they decided that they are followers of Sen Obama. But wait. Two die hard Republican Goebels changing their political view? I smell a rat. I see a trojan horse.

The suspicious me concluded that they are disappointed that this was exposed too early. Maybe they want Sen Obama first to be the Democratic nominee then they expose this. Then they harp the question of patriotism and racism and bad judgement. Then they are all happy again for another 8 years. Stupid us.

I think I am right in my suspicion.

OPEN LETTER TO KEITH OLBERMAN

Dear Keith,

I am one of your ardent viewers. For five years now my wife and I never missed any of your show. You have shown courage and fairness and proved to be a beacon of light when the other members of the media were cowed. I love it when you insinuate, the other members of the media who parrot the right wing propaganda, are the modern Rasputins.

Lately however, the fairness has ebbed. You have put Sen Obama in a pedestal as a candidate who is pure and holy and a candidate without stain. As for treatment of Sen Clinton, you have pictured her as the source of problem and controversy. You have pictured her as a person to be treated with disdain. You are quick to point out any controversy around the Clintons yet any controversy regarding Sen Obama was downplayed or not even investigated. Two days ago you slammed Sen Clinton for taking time to renounce the comments of one of his followers. A day after, a similar controversy surronded Sen Obama. Worse, the comments made by his spiritual adviser happened years ago. Yet you invited Sen Obama in your show to let him explain. You now have shown to be one of the Rasputins or Goebel of Sen Obama.

Eight years ago, a man who proclaimed himself as a Uniter charmed the American people as a man of change. The media bought him and even gave him a second chance four years after. Where are we now as a country?

Right now I DOUBT the sweet talk of change of Sen Obama simply because the media has been giving him the free pass and YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. I hope I am wrong with my doubts and you, the people of the media are right this time. Sen Obama’s campaign has skillfully used race as an issue to his advantage – very much the same way the lawyers of O J Simpson used race to their advantage. Lately, he has been disingeous with his explanations regarding his relationship with his pastor and Mr. Rezco.

When the campaign started, I said to myself that I will vote for any of the Democrats. As the campaign unfolds and I saw how the media has constantly dirtied the Clintons and put Obama on a pedestal, I started wondering. Why this unfairness? Is there an agenda? Do you intend to really put Sen Obama in the White House by hook or by crook? Are you now one of the disciples of Micheavilli?

Unfortunately you proved yourself no different from the man you love to chastise – Bill Oreilly. The only difference is that you are in the opposite side of the political spectrum and have opposite agenda.

Respectfully yours,

Raul

I am a devout Catholic and we believe that Jesus is a man of peace not hatred. Anyone who speaks of Jesus but spews hatred is not a follower of Jesus.

My wife used to go to one church every Sunday morning until we had a bad experience with the priest who criticized one of the churchgoers for singing the wrong song. That is enough for us to be biased against that priest. My wife and I never attended the services at that particular time since then. The priest didn't spew hatred, racism or even unpatriotic words. The mere fact that he didn't have finesse to criticize one of churchgoers was enough for us to be turned off.

I am not running for the highest office in this beloved land of ours but if my priest spews hatred against the same people that our God died for (Catholics believe that Jesus sacrificed his life for all mankind, not only whites or blacks), I have enough conviction and good judgment to determine that it is wrong and that the priest should be outright condemned even after his first sermon of hate and racism.

Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."

For your information, Rev Wright is the SPIRITUAL ADVISER of Sen Obama. Meaning he has the greatest influence in Sen Obama's life more than his parents. When asked about how he feels abut Rev Wright, Sen Obama's TEPID response is "like my uncle, I don't always agree with him"

So is Keith Olberman going to comment about Sen Obama's tepid reponse this time?

And by the way didn't somebody close to Sen Obama also said something like "Now I am really proud of my country" - hmmm. Looks like there is a pattern here.

Posted at March 13, 2008 1:16 PM in response to Olbermann Special Comment on Ferraro (Ouch!)

Wow, Bill Oreilly in Olberman clothing.

Honestly, I have was your admirer for four years. But since this campaign started, the admiration turned into disgust. YOu are so biased. You only have praises for Sen Obama and negative comments against Sen Clinton.

Case and point. Remember, when Sen Obama praised a Republican named Ronald Reagan. Did you ever hastise the Obama camp about that?

On your show, your guest said that Sen Obama was just playing hardball. YOu simply agreed. You never said anything like Sen Obama is a Republican attacking a democrat,did you? What gives you the right to attack Sen Clinton now?Double standard right? What is you hang up? Are sexist? A woman hater? Do you think that women are far more inferior than men? Is that the reason why you never marry or had any girlfriends? I think you better see a psychologist.

You have been a journalist for a long time now. Have you ever heard of race baiting among blacks? Have you ever heard of OJ Simpson and how he got acquited? Do you really think that the Obama camp is innocently pure and holy?

Mr. Olberman, you disgust me. YOu are the BILL OREILLY of the liberals.

Posted at March 13, 2008 2:26 AM in response to Olbermann Special Comment on Ferraro (Ouch!)

The media has already destroyed a good candidate in Howard Dean, John Kerry and the latest John Edwards. It also tried to destroy the legacy of Bill Clinton and now wants to destroy Hillary. It promoted and helped to win the presidency of a charming, lovable, visionary and a UNITER candidate named George Bush. Currently the Washington media is swooning over Obama and painting President Clinton as racist. Could it be that the same media is up to something again? Do the media and the Republican Party have a secret agenda in all of these? I believe that for the Republicans, Clinton is a far more difficult target than Obama. The Clintons have already experienced the mudslinging of the Republican machinery and can play hardball with them.

Obama has been depicted as the pure and holy candidate. Is he really devoid of stain from the politics of the past. I have yet to hear from the media a negative commentary about him. But is he really that infallible? I believe the negative commentaries will start when he becomes the Democratic nominee and the Republican operatives in cohorts with the Washington media comes in full force.

Why did the media play down the comment of Ms Michelle Obama about really being proud of the country? She said those words when Sen Obama started getting the lead, right? What is the real story about the Rezco deal? Sen Obama commented that he made a “bonehead decision” in dealing with that episode of his life? What other “bonehead decisions” has he made? What other “bonehead decisions” will he make in the future? Doesn’t that show lack of MATURITY in his decisions?

For those who assert that Sen Obama is a uniter and will bring peace to the politics of today, tell that to Rep Pelosi and Sen Reid. They tried their best to go across party lines to get things done. What have they accomplished? How are they viewed by the American people now? Less than a month ago, the Republicans walked out in protest against the majority. Doesn't that show that Republicans have their own agenda and will never yield to the Democrats?

So is Sen Obama's assertion that he is a uniter more of a fantasy than a reality or he is just saying it as part of rhetoric accompanied by a wink-wink.

Posted at March 12, 2008 8:20 PM in response to Don't like the divisive tone being instigated now? Ready for another 16 years of it?

The worshippers of Lord Almighty Barack Obama will not accept that only Black people think of him as god. How dare you insinuate that. To all worhippers of Lord Barack Obama, don't forget to chant the following prayers before you go to bed:

"Hail thee Lord Obama, king almighty. Only you can cleanse this country of dirty politics. You Lord Obama is the God of purity, holiness and devoid of sins. We will worship you forever and together we will destroy the worshipers of politics of the past. How dare they use race and sex as an issue. You and your worshippers are above those. We love you Lord Obama. We are willing to sacrifice our life and soul for your success."
