Obama-Biden campaign shuts off another TV station

Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase, "The medium is the message."

The Obama-Biden campaign wants to control both.

A second television station, CBS 3 Philadelphia, had the audacity to ask Joe Biden tough questions.



The reporter not only brought up Barack Obama's socialistic "spread the wealth around" philosophies, but Biden's ethical lapses involving his son, Hunter.

After the interview, well sort of interview, since Biden didn't answer all of the questions offered (just as with WFTV's Barbara West), the Obama-Biden campaign cut off CBS 3 from future interview opportunities.

This is frightening.

Seven days to Election Day.

H/T to Phildalphia's Midnight Blue.

Change? Change the Channel? Change the Constitution?

These goofs are beauts. In a lame attempt to 'sit on the ball' Camp Obama fumbles on the two yard line - recovered by the Voters, handed off to McCain . . .TOUCHDOWN!

If McCain or Palin cut off a television station every time they were asked a tough question, there would be none left to talk to. Do the Democrats even realize what a soft cocoon they live in?

So does this mean that Obama/Biden can lose the election over this.

By our votes, Obama/Biden will lose the election.

For Palin to be asked a "tough" question would require for her to actually submit to a real interview. The McCain campaign decided that's a losing proposition, particularly after her embarrassing performance with Couric. For example:

COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read, before you were tapped for this, to stay informed and to understand the world?

PALIN: I've read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press for the media, I mean...

COURIC: Like what ones specifically? I'm curious that you...

PALIN: Um, all of 'em, any of 'em that um have been in front of me over all these years, um...

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news too. Alaska isn't a foreign country where it's kind of suggested it seems like, wow how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, DC may be thinking and doing, when you live up there in Alaska. Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

And if you'll recall, McCain canceled an interview on CNN after Tucker Bounds was asked a question that was apparently too "tough": "Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin."

Talk about living in a cocoon--you actually think this woman is qualified to be the leader of the free world. Hah! Of course, you voted for Bush (twice), so I guess that says it all.

The Republican Party is just a bunch of white racists. It is filled with a bunch of Angry White Guys (and Gals) who think the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act ruined America because it made it a lot harder for whites from Ireland, England, France, Germany, Italy, etc. to immigrate to the U.S. and made it a lot easier for the Chinese, Indians, Jamaicans, Mexicans, Egyptians, etc. to immigrate to the U.S. What these racists don't GET is that the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act (Thank You Senator Ted Kennedy) greatly increased Diversity in the U.S. which has made OUR Nation stronger and a much more multicultural place to live. Before 1965 Whites of European descent made up 88% of the U.S. population. Now whites only make up 65% of the U.S. population and by 2042 they will only make up 49% of the population. By 2100 Whites of European descent will only make up about 30% of the U.S. population and only 3% of the World Population. The 2008 Election is just a turning point in American History though. By the end of this century white Europeans will be out of power in the United States(FINALLY!) and then we can finally end WHITE PRIVILEDGE and can get REAL Affirmative Action, REAL Reparations, REAL Change, and begin to redistribute wealth and property back to those who deserve it. Unfortunately, these Changes won't take place until the White Kids in Strollers and Elementary School today are in their 60's and 70's. The World is Flat. The white racist Republicans just don't seem to get it!
