I am not sure what Citizen1 is trying to say with his Utube videos.  I don't see the connection between the three videos and the current political situation.  And just what scare tactics are the Republicans using?  Trying to tell the truth about Senator Obama's associations and beliefs.  I can tell you in a nutshell why I am afraid for our country if Barack Obama is elected President--Supreme Court nominations as well as nominations to all Federal Courts.  He just seems to have a totally different view of the Constitution.  Anyone who says a judge must use his empathy for the victim to help decide a court case has no real understanding of the US Constitution or of justice.

The Mason post,  from the 1800's,  was about 'the timelessness of human conflict' mmsc.

FYI:  The 2nd video is the most informative.

It was written by a Confederate General!

So the media has made up all these things huh?

 

Study: Media Coverage Has Favored Obama

979 News Stories Shown Between Aug. 23-Oct. 24 Analyzed

POSTED: 2:02 pm EDT November 1, 2008

 

Sen. John McCain supporters who believe they haven't gotten a fair shake from the media during the Republican's candidacy against Sen. Barack Obama have a new study to point to.

 

Comments made by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts over the past two months reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared with in 31 percent of cases with regards to McCain, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs.

 

ABC's "World News" had more balance than NBC's "Nightly News" or the "CBS Evening News," the group said.

 

Meanwhile, the first half of Fox News Channel's "Special Report" with Brit Hume showed more balance than any of the network broadcasters, although it was dominated by negative evaluations of both campaigns. The center didn't evaluate programs on CNN or MSNBC.

 

"For whatever reason, the media are portraying Barack Obama as a better choice for president than John McCain," said Robert Lichter, a George Mason University professor and head of the center. "If you watch the evening news, you'd think you should vote for Obama."

 

The center analyzed 979 separate news stories shown between Aug. 23 and Oct. 24, and excluded evaluations based on the campaign horse race, including mention of how the candidates were doing in polls. For instance, when a voter was interviewed on CBS Oct. 14 saying he thought Obama brought a freshness to Washington, that was chalked up as a pro-Obama comment.

 

When NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported Oct. 1 that some conservatives say that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is not ready for prime-time, that's marked in the negative column for McCain.

 

ABC recorded 57 percent favorable comments toward the Democrats, and 42 percent positive for the Republicans. NBC had 56 percent positive for the Democrats, 16 percent for the Republicans. CBS had 73 percent positive (Obama), versus 31 percent (McCain).

 

Hume's telecast had 39 percent favorable comments for McCain and 28 percent positive for the Democratic ticket.

 

It was the second study in two weeks to remark upon negative coverage for the McCain-Palin ticket. The Project for Excellence in Journalism concluded last week that McCain's coverage has been overwhelmingly negative since the conventions ended, while Obama's has been more mixed.

 

Meanwhile, another survey issued Friday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press showed that television continues to be Americans' main source for campaign news, particularly the cable news networks.

 

But there were clear partisan differences in where people turned.

 

For instance, of the people who said they got most of their campaign news from Fox News Channel, 52 percent identified themselves as Republican, 17 percent as Democrats and 30 percent as independents, the Pew Center said.

 

MSNBC viewers interested in campaign news identified themselves at 11 percent Republican, 50 percent Democratic and 36 percent independent. The breakdown for CNN: 13 percent Republican, 45 percent Democrat, 38 percent independent.

 

The study was based on a survey of 2,011 people taken Oct. 17-20 and 24-27. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

"Certainly you must of known that 'those terrorists' represented 'a very small segment' of the total Muslim world."

Certainly you must know that poisionous snakes represent 'a very small segment' of the total snake world, but if you don't know if it is or not, you better be wary of it.

"Why are you labeling yourself as a fool f-c?"

I'm not, I said I "hope and pray that your right and I'm the fool". On this, I'd rather be the fool, than to be right. If I'm right, woe unto us. You see, America remaining strong is more important to me than me not being a fool.

To quote JD .. "GET OVER IT" !

I didn't bring up the obsession thing, you did. I make post about something that amounts to less than 25% of the post you make about something and you tell me I'm obsessed. When I point that out to you, you tell me to get over it. Do tell, what's the logic there?

But the focus for you at that time, and NOW, was to kill or to be killed by those that were perceived to be terrorists and yet you still continue with your 'flashback memories' to share with everyone.

First off, "flashback memories" can also be called history. Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

My "focus" was never, and will never be, kill or be killed. My focus will always be to complete the task at hand. 'Kill or be killed" is a simplistic approach to problems that, although can cause an instant, brief relief of the problem, will in the end cause more suffering and actually increase the problem later. It's a band aid over a gunshot wound, if you will. You cover it up, but it festers and grows. Which will be the results of a cut and run in Iraq, spreading the wealth here, or appeasing our enemies. We have already seen the results of a festering wound in the form of post Russian Afghanistan. Like I've said "Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." However your words were very true of the Democratic logic. You would make them proud.

Did you notice that the ad for Republican candidates appeared in AIM on the back of the comics.

How appropriate. . .Wink

It's a last-minute appeal to Obama leaners, PAPPY. Gotta get 'em where they live. You noticed the ad, didn't you? Wink

Kidding with you, buddy.

It is appropriate. It's on the back of the comics right? That page represents the election. You see on one side you have the Republicans, on the other side you have the comics. Good eye there.

Actualy, PAPPY, there's probably a very good reason to put a political ad on the back of the comics. It has to do with readership. In most Sunday editions of a daily newspaper, the most-read features are the sports section, the obituaries (that one holds true on the Monday-Saturday issues, too) and the comics.

Now, politicians running for office aren't overly inclined to advertise in the obituary section, although it should be noted that Democrats have traditionally picked up votes after the fact from those featured there.

They're also kinda timid about putting ads in the sports section. Can you imagine the backlash if a candidate had put an ad in today's AIM sports section that said: "Way to go, 'Dawgs! Vote Joe Schmoe, County Council." He'd be appealing to someone who's already in a bad mood and would probably be written off as just a smarta**.

That leaves the comics. As amusing as the juxtaposition (look it up, Hankey) may be, it's a way to get maximum bang for the advertising bucks.

PLUS, anybody who's still undecided two days before this election which will determine the future of our great nation probably isn't capable of reading anything but the comic section anyway - and even then they may need somebody to hold their hand and explain it to them.. Wink

Did anyone read the part in today`s Anderson-Independent-Mail where over 200 persons who were dead voted in the last election. And I have it from a very good source that they were all die-hard Republicans, and plan on voting this election too.

From today's AIM:

An Independent-Mail review of voter registration records for Anderson, Pickens and Oconee counties and the Social Security Administration’s database of people who have died since 1937 found instances of as many as 14 people who have, since 2001, voted after being listed as dead.

By the way, there's a certain irony to referring to anybody who has already died as a "die-hard" anything. Guess why we're discussing this under "Political Funnies & Satire." Wink
