Yes they are going to attack Obama

Going to attack Hillary, Going to? They've been attacking her since Oct. Did you see the Oct debate? No candidate was EVER treated in that fashion. ( I was actually ashamed that my candidate "Edwards" wh o went along with it. Only Richardson had the decency not to play along)

Check out media matters, bartcop or dailyhowler. They have consistantly listed the attacks, misstatements and outright lies made by the news media, not only against Clinton but against a whole host of Democrats.

Remember the "as far as I know" answer to the "muslim" question. Watch the whole clip, before and after. There was no "implication" in anything she said. Yet liberals on this very blog went nuts. In fact time after time the corporate news media have twisted her words and gave "their" own meaning to them.

The big story yesterday was about how she was at the WH while Bill was betting his knob polished. Countdown did a special comment against her over the "Ferraro" flap, never noting that Obama himself had stated that his race had helped his campaign. When the Wright flap came up there was no "special comment" there was an interview. No mention or reference has been made to the Obama (Imus) statement. She has been painted a racist despite her long history in helping the Civil rights movement

Despite all this she is still in the race.

Imagine, for 1 second, what if Obama hadn't run? What if right now Hillary was the nominee? Would you think the media was being fair to her or would you be irate over the terrible coverage she has gotten?

Only recently has Obama gotten any negative coverage.

What if the front page of every news paper led with this "Obama calls white Grandmother a racist" or "Obama throws Grandmother under a bus to score political points" and all they focused on was his statement about his grandmother. What if they accused him of trying to use the speech to distract voters from his real beliefs. or wrote "con job".

What would be your reaction? You would go ballistic and rightfully so! That is one of the reasons I get so pissed when Liberal play into this (its ok it is only Hillary) because it is not. They did the same thing to Gore. They did the same to Kerry and yes eventually they will do the same thing to Obama.

Simply put Obama has never faced an antagonistic news media or the republican slime machine. In fact he has been hit with only one "so-called" negative ad and it worked against him. (and now that ad is being called racist).

Let me put it to this way, imagine an ad (why does Obama hate america) Obama not wearing a flag pin and not crossing his heart. Obamas wife (I am FINALLY proud to be an American) followed closely by Rev. Wrights greatest hits.

Imagine that ad, every hour or so for 2 months prior to the election. (not to mention any other stuff they may be in the works).

Hillary's closet has been opened to the light of day forever.

Obama's closet just got cracked open. (the media has been aware of Rev. Wright for over a year) He needs to empty his closet now or watch it get kicked open and made public in the heat of the most important presidential election in our lifetime.
