HRC plays low ball and hard ball, but I am not sure if she is going that low
Last night, for the first time in about 3 years, I watched the msm (CCN). I came out of my self-imposed ban of the msm to poke my nose around and see what type of bull shit they were trying to sell. I did not watch the debate and was getting my after debate information from DU.

I couldn’t make heads or tails out of the debate from DU. Sorry, I love DU, but partisanship is partisanship, and there was no objectivity to be found here last night, PERIOD. So, with my curiosity peaked, and my nose held tight, I mustered the fortitude to turn on CNN. Kind of like a person who has to unplug the toilet after it has been stopped up all day, I had to do what I had to do.

So I turn on CNN and watched Larry King. Well, the first thing I noticed was that Larry had all of these guests on, One to represent BO and one to represent HRC, and fuck any JE representation. A thought came to my mind, “Oh, yeah, that’s one of the reasons why I quit watching this bull sht”.

Anyway, they played the part where Blitz asked BO if he considered Bill Clinton the first black president.
Towards the end of the show there were a couple of AA suggesting that HRC better be very careful playing the race card. I sat there thinking to myself, WTF?

So let me get this straight. The msm plays the race card in the form of Wolf Blitzers question, and then the msm turns around slams HRC for playing the race card. Is this bait and switch? And if it is, how many people are buying into this. The media does this sh!t all the time. I don’t know the entire story, but I do believe that HRC supporters and BO supporters need to be aware that they are, at some point, gonna be played by our msm. Don’t buy into what they are selling. Rise above it.

1. The Media GOP Gotcha Game
Based on distortion, lies, ad hominem, and other logical fallacies, and other random brain and ethics dysfunctions.

2. Very good view. It's the same as "they think McCain will be the front runner" when it was a question
from Blitzer.

I wish so much one of them would muster the fortitude to say, "you know, I really don't want to spend our Democratic primary debate time discussing one of the Republican candidates. We'll leave to them to make their own cases...what I would rather discuss, (insert issue here).
