Question: Is the Media besides Fox News and Andrea Mitchell Covering BabyGate? OR...
Edited on Mon Mar-31-08 04:33 PM by hnmnf
Is this just manufactured outrage by Clintonite's on DU? Is the rest of the media making a big deal out of this whole ridiculous thing?

I'm in class, cant really tell.

It's manufactured outrage.

I was told of the story by my sister who said his comments were the final straw that destroyed the chances of her and her husband voting for him over Mccain. I put it on CNN and they have repeated it a few times. Fuck the media.

16. No, fuck the media for taking what was said out of context.
So the MSM and their distorting is okay with you as long as it's against Senator Obama. :rofl:

agreeing with the concept that babies are punishment.

12. Your sister really doesn't get it if that's the final straw for her.
She's probably a Republican or independent, if it's McSame versus Obama for her, doesn't sound like she's understanding the differences between to two parties.

Aside from her political lack of sophistication, what about her reading the entire answer in context? Did she do that?

Does she know the difference between being forced against one's will to carry a fetus to term and willfully doing so?

I think your sister needs to do a little more study of the issues and the speech before she decides who she's voting for.

But that's just me!

7. it doesn't matter what you or I think
This comment will be blasted from millions of radios and thousands of pulpits to people who will be horrified. Sure, many of those folks will never vote for a black man anyway, but the national conversation will be affected.

Remember what they did to Al Gore. The lies spread about him still stand unrefuted in millions of minds.

17. the Wright situation was tamed? I don't think so.
The message of Obama's "radicalism" was imprinted on the minds of middle Americans.

18. He took a hit and is rebounding. Sure it will have an effect in the general, but he did tame it.
