Three Cheers for the Liberal Media April 28, 2008 For decades many of us have been clamoring for an unbiased media. We used pounds of paper writing about the unfairness of the liberal media. Some even made the case that the media was good for 15 points in an election. We wondered just how many Democrats would be elected if the media were truly fair and balanced. And then came the 2008 primary season. Early on the media was in Hillary's hip pocket. Then along came Obama and the media fell in love with his. The stories were loving and frequent. Obama was the future, Obama was the man who would prove the end of racism in the USA. Obama was, in the media's opinion, the charming man all could and should support. He was 'gasp', 'gasp' the candidate of CHANGE. Now they know better... if they could just admit it. But the damage is done. They helped him win more delegates than Hillary and the Democrats must nominate him. With out at least 86 percent of the normal black turnout voting for the nominee, a Democrat can not win. What would happen if the Democrat Super delegates nominated Hillary. It seems certain that she would not do well with black voters. They might not vote for McCain but they certainly would not vote for Hillary. Not when the great She Devil has STOLEN THE NOMINATION from Obama. The bad side of nominating Hillary instead of Obama is not that Hillary would lose, though she would. The bad side is Democrats would have to nominate a black in 2012 in order to get blacks back in the Democratic party. The Democrats have to have blacks a lot more than blacks have to have Democrats. However, over half the registered democrats in the USA are white working class voters. They are not all that happy about a black candidate. Nearly every white hourly worker for a major corporation has been subject to or at least observed reverse discrimination. Every manufacturing corporation in the USA has one set of very stringent work rules for whites and another much more lenient set of rules for black employees. Working class whites have been ticked about that for decades. They feel certain that a black president would have tons of affirmative action on his plate the day he took office. And by blaming Bush for things he has zero power to control, they have created the impression that a president could add tons of new affirmative action programs with out anyone's support or permission. And white working class Democrats fear reverse discrimination far more than they fear low wage illegal immigrant Mexicans. or unemployment, or a down economy or want government supplied health care. They fear a black president. They fear he will get even with whites by punishing them. So Democrats must nominate Obama and suffer the loss next November at the polls. Then they must find a way to get those white working class voters back in the Democrat fold by 2012. They will need a new George Wallace to get the working class whites back. He may not do very well at the polls either. Do you think that the state and local party leaders wanted to create this Obama situation? Of course not! If one works precincts counties and congressional districts as a Democrat party official, one knows the situation. They know that the Democratic party must have white working class voters and black voters. It can not be one or the other. They have to have both. It is the media that does not understand. So the media in their wish to have the first back president elected on their watch have come close to destroying the Democratic party. The fissions in the coalition that makes up the party may not be mendable for a half a generation. This is what happens when the national media becomes so inbred that it talks to no one but themselves and pollsters. As Mike said to Chris Wallace .. nepotism is not a good thing unless it is a member of your own family. The members of the media don't associate with ordinary working class people. They read the polls and they talk to and quote each other. So they all agree the nation is ready for a Black president. All they have to do is see to it that the black candidate gets the nomination. And they do their very best to make that happen. Now they are shocked, angry, and disappointed that the USA is not an extension of the Washington Press Club Bar. They will tell you they have never met a Democrat that was not deep down in favor of Obama being the Democratic nominee. The problem they have never met a Democrat who did not have a press pass. So the media has put a shotgun up the Democratic parties posterior and pulled the trigger. And much to the media's surprise the excrement went everywhere. After next falls election, Republicans will be saying With enemies like the media we have no need for friends!
