1. holy shit.

lol. I mean, they signed on a long time ago, but what the fuck. And the term "race card" itself has always seemed sort of, um, racist. It just makes me uncomfortable to have to keep seeing "WHO played the RACE CARD first?" banners on the tv.

[geek tragedy]

2. ABC has always been in the tank

for the RNC.

No debates on ABC. None.

[NYC_SKP]

3. Fucking in the tank, bought and paid for, sons of bitches.

thanks, I guess.....usually you have good news but we've got to know the bad, too.

[Coexist]

4. ugh.

ugh.

[SuperTrouper]

5. F'ng Chuckie Gibson and George Staphylococcus are two talking heads

for McCain. They are in the tank with McCain those SOBs :mad:

7. Which begs the question, I think,

of how anybody could be for that incompetent, clueless, directionless, not very smart old man unless they really don't want anything good to happen for America.

6. I'm glad they've officially declared themselves an "item"...

All this sneaking around in the shadows was silly. We all knew they were hot for each other.

8. Saying "yes, he's African American" is playing the race card??

It's just stating a fact. ABC hasn't even been trying to hide their bias. Notice that the McCain attack was playing the "attack" card.

9. Can anyone explain why ABC says the Obama camp "admitted" this?

I try to avoid clicking on right-wing sites, and at this point ABC's to the right of Drudge.

10. We knew the campaign would be ugly and full of racial overtones

AND we knew the corporate media would push it for the greatest possible effect. Not really much that can be done on that angle.

[nolabels]

11. And corporate media would feel their ass is close to the fire would also be screaming bloody murder

There is going to be no unbiased news blurbs from M$M for the next 98 or so days. We all need to understand while watching M$M and the republicans that these two scared, wounded and diminished beasts will be lashing out others in a effort to bring others down with them. Not saying people should relax or do nothing but more of the idea to keep safe footing in preparations :-)
