Damsel in Distress? Pols, Press and the Peeps All Come Together To Shill for Their Candidate
Is it just me or does the media seem to treat the junior Senator from Chicago, Barack Obama, as a sort-of damsel in distress character, running to his aid when he is criticized, and counter-attacking the perpetrator. When appropriate, I am glad and grateful to see that there are people in this world who are willing to stand-up against injustice, but this is getting ridiculous. [And now, is wife is getting the same treatment.]
No matter the topic, when someone criticizes the Senator, fairly or unfairly, people come out of the woodwork to defend the man. The newest Obama apologist, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, is the latest in long line of panderers to remind the public about the lies and false emails, claiming Obama is a Muslim. Now, I have never received one of these emails and I certainly wouldn’t believe such garbage, but I have certainly been told repeatedly about their existence. Over and Over.
Example: When this blog (and others) criticized Obama’s affiliations with radicals and domestic terrorists, throngs of people, from all walks of life lept to his defense, on radio, television, and any other medium that would have them.
It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in politics. It’s Barack’s “Coalition of the Shilling”, where any time an accusation is cast there are members of the press, image-conscious politicians and so-called political ‘analysts’ that all come together to fight the lies and misinformation about the son of a goat herder. The most obvious irony of course is the fact that the usual purveyors of the rumors and misinformation (Hello KO) are the same people attempting to “protect” the junior Senator from their own tactics.
