    Reading Obama supporters complain about

    an unfair media is like hearing Newt Gingrich lecture about the sanctity of marraige.

    The media have savaged the Clintons from day one of this campaign, as they did in the nineties, and as they called Al Gore a liar non stop for using a figure of speech in describing his work on internet law.

    The media will always attack our strongest leaders. If they can't have another puppet, they'll settle for someone weak and inexperienced, which is why they support Obama.

    The smears this time have been dumber than ever, and it was startling to see how quickly they convinced the Obama Nation. But this crowd never learned the art of adult conversation. They don't know the difference between policy debate and Obama's shallow rhetoric. And they've replaced rational discourse with childish insults and name calling.

    It's no surprise they don't recognize the most skilled, accomplished, and knowledgeable democrats of our time.
