Shuster is not the only person with MSNBC who has made "off the wall remarks" about Senator Clinton and family. I am so sick of these males who are so jealous of a smart woman that they have to try to degrade her. Chris Matthews and Russert are also guilty. They fired Imus for much less. The press got GW Bush elected with their comments on Gore's "sighs" and Kerry's "flip flogs" and look what they got because Bush was one that they wanted to have a beer with. Well, they sure had their beer, with a endless war, high deficit, hated in the world, recession, etc., etc., etc.
Joan you are exactly correct about MSNBC. I have sent numerous emails to the editor as it is hard to find a way to send to Matthews, Russert, etc. Chris Matthews is many times worse than Shuster and he is doing his very best to get Obama elected. You will also note when a newsperson is talking with Obama, they never find out much about him. He blasts off on how he was so against the war; then why does he keep voting to fund it? I have mostly stopped watching MSNBC except for Keith Olberman. Matthews and all have done nothing but TRASH Senator Clinton and they should be taken off the air. The media is working hardest to elect Obama and the cross over republicans are doing that in order to help McCain win. What an underhanded network they are to embrace people who trash Senator Clinton or any other woman. Should Obama get the nomination; he will never ever get my vote; I am sick of "on the job training for a President," we need experience.
Joan, You are exactly right about his grandmother. As far as his race; that doesn't matter to me. My problem with him is inexperience and we don't really know that much about him as the press and news media have given him a free ride until here of late. He should have served out his first senate term at least and he keeps dwelling on the vote to authorize the war; however I just wonder how he would have voted; had he been in the Senate, since he has voted to keep funding the war which is just as bad. As far as Wright, the minister, I don't hold him responsible for those words; however my question is how could he sit for years listening to such anti American sermons. I thought preachers were supposed to preach the word of God. Also Wright was promoting Obama and that was politics and that church should lose their tax exempt status. Obama will never get my vote.
Had bush and his cronies listened to President Clinton; there would never have been a 9/11; however they were too arrogant and fixed on starting a war in Iraq for OIL; that they had no time for serious things. Read Paul O'Neil's book, he was bush's secretary of treasury until bush fired him for telling the truth; he said that it was Iraq, Iraq, from the beginning when he went into the cabinet, and they said, just give us a way to do it; and they used 9/11 to frighten everyone and that did it. What a travesty for our country.
Joan, I think you people in the press and news media need to get a life! You talk about Clinton's week; however you never mention the untruths that Obama has said. You people treat him with kid gloves, like he is some kind of savior. Give me a break! He is a SLICK POLITICIAN! If that had been Hillary's minister who preached hate; she would have had to resign from the Senate. You never bring out the bad judgment that Obama has made in a minister, a friend Rezko who is the son of a Syrian farmer, his 130 "present votes", and numerous other misquotes by him especially concerning JFK helping his father. Get a life; be FAIR. Go HILLARY.
Joan, You are exactly right. Most men just can't stand a SMART WOMAN, simply they are jealous. Hillary is more qualified to be President than McCain or Obama. The press and news media have been so bias against her; that she has had an impossible task. She will get my vote in North Carolina; however should she not be the nominee in November; Obama nor McCain will get my vote. With Obama it isn't that he is black; he is inexperienced, hasn't served a full term in the US Senate; too many "present votes" in the Illinois Senate; and bad judgment for sitting in a church for 20 years listening to a minister rant and rage; and being connected with Rezko, a son of a Syrian farmer. As far as McCain, he likes war too much and flip flopped on everything he was for in 2000 and joined bush and team with all their catastrophic policies. GO HILLARY!
No matter when they released their returns; the press and news media would have found fault with the release as the press and news media is so bias and so "in love" with Obama, that they can't treat the Clinton's fair.
Joan, Obama is not ready for the republican "swift boaters." They will make "hay" of this if he wins the nomination. Also the ad with his minister will be played over and over. Obama needs to serve a full term in the US Senate before he tries to become President. The press and news media have given him a "free ride" as they are all so in love with him. They have done nothing but trash Senator Clinton; however she is tough; she has been there, done that. We need her in the White House. GO HILLARY!
