White House Asked About Propaganda War

Yeah sure, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that doesn’t mean we’re deserving of manufactured analysis posing as something it isn’t.

I can fully understand the White House wanting to appear on the up and up about this, and so who better than Dances With Balloons to shake her pretty head and say something so devoid of coherence as this;

MS. PERINO: Look, I didn’t know — look, I think that you guys should take a step back and look at this — look, DOD has made a decision, they’ve decided to stop this program. But I would say that one of the things that we try to do in the administration is get information out to a variety of people so that everybody else can call them and ask their opinion about something.

No one asked if the DoD had stopped the program.

The problem, besides using propaganda for domestic purposes, (which seems to bother no one in the media or government,) is that the press didn’t vet these little goebells, continues to ignore their culpability in exposing the people of the United States to massive lying, and wishes to report on everyones errors but their own.

Reverend Wright should have it so good.

Let’s Not Suspend The Gas Tax, And Pretend We Did

Let’s suspend disbelief, and think of that as a viable sensible policy thought, instead of a cheap political ploy akin to promising to put a chicken in every pot.

 

McCains Free Ride Express

Hook, Line & Sinker

It seems the AP has fallen for the McCain campaign’s and the RNC’s effort to prevent anyone from using McCain’s own words against him during the 2008 presidential campaign. As noted earlier, what the McCain campaign is pushing for here is a standard in which any negative ad targeting McCain must be delivered with the McCain camp’s own spin included in order to be within bounds — a standard few politicians, to say the least, have ever been granted. And even though the political press has been highly indulgent of the McCain campaign on this issue, I don’t think I’ve seen any news organization so egregiously buy into McCain’s false statements as the Associated Press.

The AP article lede reads: “The Republican National Committee demanded Monday that television networks stop running a television ad by the Democratic Party that falsely suggests John McCain wants a 100-year war in Iraq.”

So, as you can see, the AP begins by stating as fact the McCain camp’s claim that the ad is false. Then it actually directly misstates what the ad says.

McCain may have earned the nomination, although with press like this it’s hard to see how that would be the case given his campaigns resurrection from the dead, but that doesn’t mean he deserves the Presidency just because he is your buddy.

Now Hear This

Wright Within His Rights

To distinguish himself as a man of God, and the pastor of a church, from a politician running for any office, including president. I am reminded the Holy Spirit moves like the wind where I cannot see it, and touches all whom God is pleased to give as is His want, I know no more. The things of God are the things of God.

Obama is also within his rights to attend and accept any teaching from the pulpit as is his want, and fit his spiritual needs. The people also have a right, and have come to expect a President of the United States to be informed of his duty to the things of the state as well. Barack Obama would not have advanced politically if he had been inattentive to his duties.

Whites may call it a dialog and blacks a discussion of discrimination but the theological and political levels should remain separated. When the Greek Christians complained to the Apostles that their widows were being overlooked in the distribution they appointed Stephen, who saw the Lord, to oversee the distribution of these necessary things, that they might attend to the preaching of the good news.
