Welcome to socialism, boys and girls...

[maladroit]

"So none of you can comment on what the premise of this post was...?"

- usually the premise of the post has something to do with the title, which in this case was "Welcome to socialism, boys and girls..."



"You know...the media manipulation and suppression? "

- what does that have to do with the socialism premise in your title? i watched the video you linked and i didn't see any suppression...the only manipulation i saw was the reporter falsely trying to link obama-biden with socialism-marxism because of a single sentence obama used weeks ago (while ignoring the current trillion dollar expansion of *real* socialism pimped by the current republican president)

WFTV-Channel 9 is a single channel serving a small chunk of florida...cancelling biden's wife's interview with that station isn't media suppression...cutting off all media contact with sarah palin earlier in the campaign was real media suppression

Ahhh...you seem to be viewing the interview through those Osama-tinted glasses. The validity of her questions goes way beyond what the questions actually were. Could have acused him of campaign fraud, rape or murder...whatever. The answers were equally insignificant, as he is a lying sack of liberal dogshit. (altho he did lie in the interview about obama's campaign supporting the ACORN fictitious name drive, that's not the point) The point is the campaigns reaction to the interview, which was to revoke the stations 'privilages'.

Guess ol Bush should have given Helen Thomas the boot too, 'eh?

Tell me one single station that has been banned by the republicans here. Perhaps you would rather her come out of the box sounding like Joe Obiden...confused and unsure why he was chosen to deliver the messiah's message of false hope?
I for one am certainly glad that it only took a few days to instruct Palin on policy, presence and strategy. Since then...as far as I know, open access to all media forms, including Saturday Night Live, CNN, Fox....Altho CNN seems a bit retarded with it's research prior to doing an interview. Since they are in a much larger market share, shouldn't they have really understood the subject matter prior to the interview...? Or is this all you expect from the liberal media now a days? Perhaps there is an apology by the idiot interviewer forthcoming, but none as of yet.
How's this for incompetent and unprofessional:

Regardless of whether or not you agree with Obama's policies I don't understand how anybody could watch that interview and not realize what a complete moron that woman is. Those questions were absolutely ridiculous and I cant believe that Biden was able to keep his cool the way he did. Its like the woman had not any research about Obama's policies "ever" and just took the talking points from the McCain campaign and acted like they were the truth. How many times is Obama/Biden gonna have to explain themselves over the same attacks that they have answered over and over again.

WFTV-Channel 9 doesn't have any 'priviledges'...they got their interview with the next vice-president of the united states and they botched it by asking invalid questions about marxism and socialism (WTF?)...WFTV serves orlando which has a population of less than 190,000 (not including guests at disneyworld)...it's a backwater tv station in the middle of a town that wouldn't exist if walt disney hadn't bought 47 square miles of swamp for his resort theme park...most tv stations in real cities four times that size won't enjoy as much priviledge as WFTV had so there goes your theory about media suppression

BTW: helen thomas didn't pester george bush with idiotic questions about him being a socialist (before he became a REAL socialist and nationalized half of wall street)...at least i can thank george bush for one thing: he rendered useless the republican use of the word 'socialism' as it applies to normal government social programs that benefit people instead of corporations

Obama is not only a socialist, he's a marxist. Lying to the masses, attempting to re-write the history books as he goes, and using the press to manipulate the populace and ease this transition twords socialism. And now, banning a TV station from future interviews because the questions asked by a seasoned reporter ruffled poor unprepared/unprofessional Obiden's feathers? Hmmm. What do the mainstream reporters get when they ask the softball questions with no depth...a hand-job and a back-stage pass?

define socialism and marxism and cite your sources. I would like to find out why Obama is compared to people like Lenin or Marx or any of the Bolsheviks.

the definitions I find may only at best marginally make him a weak socialist in one very very specific way. Socialism is a very broad subject that is a way of life to my understanding.

as a reminder, not every social program is a "socialist thing". u got SOCIAL SECURITY since 1930s that without it our elderly and disabled would have had to face many more and harder challenges.

I will count YOUR(their=right wing) argument null, unless YOU provide me with YOUR thinking and reasoning, not buncha loyalist propaganda and attacks/defenses for sake of proving your loyalty or pressing the other side.

Stopped reading after this. You can't be serious about it, why should we?

[maladroit]

i'm sure he meant to type obama-tinted glasses, the same way that the conservative woman from 'the view' accused her critic of drinking obama kool aid

It's not like I take the secular progressive liberal agenda seriously either.
Doesn't surprise me at all either, that you see something you don't immediately agree with, so you stop reading. There's a lot of that going around...

[maladroit]

does that mean you meant to type "osama-tinted glasses"?
