Just wanted to drop in this morning and mention that Ruth and I went searching last night for a TV with satellite (we have rabbit ears which is okay 'cause we don't watch TV). We wanted to watch Sarah Palin's speech. We did (we also watched the hour before with Huck, Romney and Rudy G.). The convention looks like a rousing success and Sarah Conner Palin ROCKED!

Brian Williams is looking more and more like a tool every day.  And what was with his "us vs them" mentality?  At least hold on to your objectivity while on the air, there's plenty of time to log onto the Daily Kos after the live feed ends.

Also, it looks like Joe was having a good day again, which means he will probably get "re-educated" today on the correct way to represent MSNBC.

The crap I have seen in this story, & the all the BS I have seen from the MSM since Bush was elected in 2000, are proof positive of the fact that the MSM has decided they don't give a damn about being objective & professional. I know who the offenders are, & I no longer trust them, or watch them. Judging by the ratings problems at some MSM newsrooms & by the plunging newspaper circulation numbers, I am not alone.

I have an open question for the MSM, is it possible to not support Obama & not be a racist? I don't give a damn about what color his skin is, I don't like his marxist ties, & I don't like the people who would surround him if he's elected. The only race the MSM is leading is the race to the bottom.

Joe Klein said:

"It's important for the public to know Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the bridge to nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, banned books at the local library, and thinks the war in Iraq is, quote, a task from God."  

Thisi s the first I've heard any of this and, so far, only Joe Klein is mentioning it. Is there any facts to support his claims or is it a lot of "BS" mis-interpreting the facts?

The msm is reeling after the thumping they took last night.  I flipped over to MSNBC to see the kooks and Olbermann looked like he had just been kicked in the nads by Palin.  Andrea Mitchell interviewing Giuliani looked like she had a migraine.  The viciousness of the leftist media's personal attacks this week have backfired and I am so glad to see them called out by everyone speaking last night.  The question is will they change or continue to crash in burn in the public's eye? 

Again, the MSM is doing what they do best.... creating self-fulfilling prophecies about all sorts of crap. They've done it about support for Iraq. They've done it about our economy. Now, they're trying to make Obama's lack of qualifications a racial thing. The more they hammer at his race, the more people are going to begin to acknowledge it.

George Stepho took this same tact as did people on CNN. They act like McCain and Republicans are unfairly picking on them (cue the violins). They try to change the subject from their outrageous sexist attacks on her and their vicious attacks on her humor by bringing up issues now. They should have stuck to the issues in the beginning. Duh!

We'll be thrilled if they stick to the issues with ALL FOUR PEOPLE on the two tickets. Talk about Obama's most liberal senator record, talk about Joe Biden's third most liberal record. Talk about how neither Biden or Obama have stood up to corruption in their party. Talk about the Born Alive Bill. Let it all out. Don't just report negative "issues" on one side.

Yes, you are correct Hunter. The problem is that there are some black people that if they put their money in a soda machine and nothing comes out, they scream racism and if they don't, the MSM will.

The MSM says that they are not critical of Gov. Palin, but they don't like her baby, family, religion, governorship, husband, and now they don't like her hair. Unfortubately for the left-wing extremist women Sarah is one of those women who would look good barefoot in a gunny sack. I don't criticize people's looks so I will just say that democrat women are jealous of Sarah's beauty.

Twice the delegate says Palin represents 'all of America' and Williams turns this into us vs. them.  What part of 'all' confuses Brian Williams? 

 Williams is such a knucklehead on so many levels it's hard to start at any one place.   But I will.   He really doesn't have that wide spread of an audience to matter in the long run, and what he is saying about Sarah's "appeal rooted in rascism" is what the people who watch Williams believe anyway so that point is worthless.

"Stupidly agressive and unprofessional in the extreme"?  Williams just gave a apt discription on the MSM, not the RNC.  And if his intention is to sic the rest of the media onto Sarah, well, knock yourself out Williams, we'll be waiting.  Hell, most of us don't need much of a reason to slam liberals much less the MSM, so give it your best shot.

You have to understand where Williams, and his ilk, is coming from. He is a 'Citizen of the World' so when you say "She represents all of America." you are saying she doesn't represent Williams, and his ilk.

Brian William's needs to go relieve himself in the bathroom.  He is looking a little more constipated that usual.  Sarah Palin was nothing but terrific last night and so far I am completely sold on her ability to be the Vice President.  I can already see her running for PRESIDENT in a few years :)
