What about requiring individuals to sign loyalty pledges just to attend campaign events as Bush did when he ran for President? That is much worse than candidates deciding which media outlets they want to speak to.

Is this fundamentally different than Palin trying to communicate without the “filter of the mainstream media?” That is just code for the New York Times and NBC.

Barack Obama’s stated policy isn’t a subscription to Marxist economic doctrine. It’s a much needed antidote to the Bush/Cheney redistribution of wealth policies which have dramatically enriched the economically elite top ten percent of our population. They’ve enabled their energy business cronies and their partners in crime of the military/industrial complex to loot the public commons and our national Treasury.

This welfare for the rich program has come at the expense of the middle class whose earning power and adjusted-for-inflation wealth has declined since these criminals stole the 2000 election and set up their corrupt regime.

They’ve also used a propaganda campaign of disinformation and misrepresentation to deceive the more gullible part of the electorate and persuade it to support these policies which harm its own interests. They’ve cynically manipulated the religious right by playing up wedge issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage.

Now that I’ve disabused you of your errors and misconceptions, you may return to your orbit around the Urantia Book.

If the question is as “ignorant” as you have asserted, perhaps you would be so kind as to explain why B.O.’s stated policy isn’t a subscription to Marxist economic doctrine? When B.O. was an Illinois state senator he publicly and in writing opposed Bill Clinton’s introduction of “workfare” as a replacement of welfare.

The only other guy I can think of to dodge “served-up” questions better and say absolutely nothing of any substance about anything, aside from Biden, is B.O.

Billy stated a legitimate observation and it has to do with the “press” having changed from a guard dog of our democracy to the lap dog of the Marxist wing of the democratic party.

If you think you can defend the blatant complicity of the US press to underwrite B.O.’s candidacy, no pun intended, please amuse me.

I believe the truth about B.O. has yet to be revealed. Many of us are very concerned that such a revelation will come at a very high price to the American People, should he be elected President. It ain’t over until….

I watched that video (you’d never know that Billy did, given his description of it)– Biden showed admirable restraint when this brazen and impudent woman addressed him thus:

“You may recognize this famous quote: ‘From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.’ That’s from Karl Marx. How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?”

That question IS absurd, and an appalling show of ignorance, like so much of what Billy himself writes– for example, when he says Obama is more about instilling pathos in his followers than he is about actions.

Pathos is, according to Webster, an emotion of sympathetic pity. Whatever Obama is ‘instilling’ in his followers (Billy’s always got people instilling things, whether the word fits or not), it certainly isn’t pity.

To top off his usual bizarre and misrepresentative remarks, Billy makes a vulgar display of egoism by awarding the errant interrogator, Barbara West, the William H. Hallowell III Journalist of the Year Award, for, of all laughable things, her “journalistic integrity.”

Follow this link, http://www.wftv.com/station/1874549/detail.htm to get an idea of the sort of “integrity” his recipient represents at WFTV and see what these bottom-feeders consider newsworthy, but only if you have the stomach for a sordid line-up of rape and murder, and if you really want to know whether any light beers are worth drinking.

Disgusting, but a fitting end to a tale straight out of The National Enquirer.
