momentum. Besides, I don't see how you could compare Obama's intellect with Ralph's.

10. What people see in Obama reveals more about them than him just like Ralphy.

What people see in him reveals more about them than about him, for now. Once the media gets their marching orders from Corporama on how to define him, that will quicky change..

11. So, you've offered up your theory about Groening's "message" and now want to expand the conversation
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 09:43 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
to what the corporomedia will say about Sen. Obama. I say, that Groening, et.al. were not targeting Sen. Obama. Now the conversation has changed.

12. I said it was a cautionary tale that just so happens to apply to the Obama cult
Could apply to Huckabee or Bloomberg as well. But it sure does seem to hit the target about Obama.

13. It can apply to ANY politician's blind followers. I'm not sure why you singled out Sen. Obama vs.
well, any other Presidential candidate.

It also spoke to the corporomedia spin influencing the uninformed voters among us.
