by Teri O'BrienDan Rather wants Barack Obama to save journalism, and if you can think of two guys better suited to that mission, I’d like to hear about it. Think about it: the former is the “legendary journalist” who tried to use forged documents to influence the outcome of a presidential election, while the latter is the object of a bobbysoxer-like crush that caused the entire traditional media to abandon any pretense of objectivity to become slobbering propagandists and de facto members of his campaign.
Both Dan and B. Hussein share contempt for evil corporations driven by greed and a desire for profit, which they see as the cause of all society’s problems. Dan blames it for “the dumbing down and sleazing up of what we see on the news.” The celebutard/radical leftist cult leader is now masquerading as the custodian of the U.S. Constitution understands that avaricious insurance companies are destroying the health care companies by collecting record profits. The cure for the destruction heaped on us by all this greed? What else--the federal government!
I’m sure that Dan, Barack, Michelle, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and some of the other compassionate ascetic liberals convening in Martha’s Vineyard next month will enjoy many lively conversations lamenting the materialism of corporate big shots over lobster and champagne. I know what you’re thinking, and I agree: Dan’s latest rave out demonstrates once and for all that he is certifiably insane. That fact notwithstanding, would it really make that much difference if President Sham WOW officially took over the Lame Stream Media? Could there be a more compliant lap dog press than that passel of timid, deferential stenographers we saw at his news conference last week?
The degree to which the press is captivated by this phony former community organizer with his Orwellian double-speak and his used car salesman smile is stunning to behold. Our first affirmative action president continues his Big Lie Tour, repeating the mantra that under his plan to destroy our current health care system “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” a demonstrable lie which goes unchallenged by the vigilant truth seekers in the dinomedia. At least in North Korea or Cuba, they have the excuse that objective reporting can result in a life sentence in a rat-infested, dirt-floored cell, or worse.
Speaking of North Korea, I’m sure that all of you are as excited as I about tonight’s staged “teachable moment” event, in which we will be reminded yet again about something that we must never forget: America is still oozing with vicious racism, as evidenced by the incessant profiling and persecution by jack booted police officers who behave “stupidly” at the behest of Whitey.
Once again, in his gratuitous comments about a local police matter, Barack Obama’s alter ego, Barry Off the PrompTer, revealed that like Jeremiah Wright and one of his other racist bud’s Skippy Gates, he shares the belief that there is and should be a presumption that racism is involved whenever a “person of color” has an encounter with law enforcement. The mask slipped again, so tomorrow we will be subjected to endless breathless stories about the heart-warming meeting at the picnic table, as if a 20-minute photo op can undo 20 years in Rev. Wright’s church.
You can’t make this stuff up.
