It all starts with Acorn

If Barry, Acorn’s onetime lawyer, wins the presidency, it will be because Big Media knuckled under to the multiculturalism and "diversity" that began taking over newsrooms in the late eighties. Thus primed to give women and minorities a pass on just about any transgression, the talking pinheads and their print cohorts simply looked the other way, rather than investigate Barry’s solid connections to the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression. Electing him to solve the economic problem would be pretty funny if it weren’t so pathetic. It all began with Acorn, Barry’s once and future client.

UPDATE:  Barry, don’t look now, but your old buds are being accused of voter fraud–again.

Propaganda’s wheels start turning

Back when the Associated Press only reported the news, or summarized news produced by others, they would never have countenanced introducing the race card in a national political campaign:

"Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee "palling around" with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?"

The old days are gone, obviously. Now AP is just another part of the Democrat propaganda arm.

MORE: Powerline makes this observation:

"When the McCain campaign ran an ad that had a white woman in it, it was denounced as racist. When it ran an ad that had an African-American man (Franklin Raines) in it, it was denounced as racist. Now the McCain campaign links Obama to a white man, the former terrorist, and still anti-American, Bill Ayers. That’s racist too. I think we’ve exhausted just about all the possibilities. The only non-racist thing McCain can do, apparently, is concede the election."

Barry’s sole executive experience

In which he and unrepentent terrorist Bill Ayers blew through $160 million in charity money to no noticeable effect. It’s a fascinating part of Barry’s life, where he not only knew Ayers but worked for him. It’s the closest Barry comes to matching Sarah’s executive experience as a mayor and a governor, but one which he never mentions. Go figure.

So, today, his most influential supporter, the NYTimes, finally gets around to writing about it (on a few-reader Saturday, natch) in a white-wash article reminiscent of the way they blew off the Swift boaters in 2004. Then Sarah goes after him on it on the stump and CNN joins in the dismissive lying. Do these so-called "journalists" have no shame? That’s a rhetorical question, of course.

UPDATE: Stanley Kurtz and Steve Diamond, who know the most about Ayers’ and Barry’s close relationship, show what Big Media is ignoring.

OOPS:  Barry actually led another foundation, but he doesn’t talk about it, either. Could be because this one was anti-gun.

Biden’s, uh, truth

Dems still split over Barry

The polls, can you trust them? For instance, they say Virginia is tilting to Barry. But my friend, a former Democrat county chairman in the western part of the state, says he and some of his Democrat friends will be quietly voting for Mac and Sarah.

He’s retired military and, while he doesn’t like it that Barry never served, he mainly feels that he can’t turn his back on Mac, a fellow Vietnam veteran. His friends mainly dislike the fact that Barry has no experience to speak of. Racism may be playing some part in their calculations, given Barry’s racist church of twenty years and his penchant for playing the race card, but they’re not talking about that. Others, it seems, are exercised about Barry’s legitimacy as a nominee.

Joe Biden: buffoon

BIDEN: "When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, ‘Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know — if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.’ Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel."

TOTTEN: "What on Earth is he talking about? The United States and France may have kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon in an alternate universe, but nothing even remotely like that ever happened in this one."

Vote for Barry, folks, and Joe will be your next vice-president, and you can cringe every time he opens his mouth for four years. But, really, why do they call these fantasies "gaffes"? They’re baldfaced lies.

UPDATE:  Someone needs to tell him that not only does the plastic surgery on his eyebrows make him look strangely Asian, but the botox in his forehead has turned it into a beacon light-reflector.

Sixty-nine point nine million

That’s how many watched Sarah’s debate last night. We can be sure they weren’t tuning in to see Biden. If she gave ole Joe the business, the ones she really made look like fools were Couric and Gibson.
