Man, that Schneider piece with the Nascar thing was the last straw...


CNN and Fox should merge...no wait, scratch that...CNN is WORSE. They are fucking WORSE than Fox.

If you want to interview Nascar fans about their support for Bush, that is fine..

When you are implying that ALL Nascar fans support Bush, you are just talking out of your ass with no real numbers to back it up...

But when you have your correspondant DRESS IN FUCKING NASCAR CLOTHES AND GIVE A RINGING BUSH ENDORSMENT, THAN THAT PUTS YOU PAST THE FUCKING LINE.

Now, this isn't news to me..I havent watched CNN for years, since the 2000 campaign actually...

But I have flipped past CNN 3 times today and that asshat has been on in a NASCAR uniform every time! They are basically endorsing Bush and Nascar!!

For contrast where is the Kerry demographic? Where is the correspondant at the Vietnam Memorial dressed like a fucking soldier talking about how revered Kerry is by Vets!!!

Arghh...fuck the media!

1. NEWS ALERT: Bush is winning among white men in Alabama
Well, I guess the election is over. We're going to lose the white male vote in Alabama.

Schneider's training is as a political scientist, and he would be at his best if he acted like one, not some finger at the wind journalist who wears silly NASCAR costumes and repeats media cliches and catch phrases.

2. He isn't a political scientist, he is a partisan HACK.


He is a member of AEI which is a conservative think tank.

It's akin to Ted Kennedy trying to be an unbiased commentator, it's a fucking joke.

And they NEVER disclose that he is a member of AEI.

6. LOL!
That was some funny--yet sad--stuff. Holy f-in' racism. I can't believe people actually think like that.

4. I saw a similar "Nascar dads" piece on...
CBS Sunday Morning a few weeks ago, and about 50 % said they were independant, 25 % said Kerry and 25 % said *, so that whole piece was pure, unadulterated BS spin!.

10. Anyone have a pic of Schneider in his Nascar uniform?
That'd be great to see.

Dressup, like Bush on the aircraft carrier. Partisan Republicans love to play dressup, don't they?
