Good mornin' y'all.
Once again I'm continuing my irregular series on how the seemingly point-of-no-return presidential campaign of one Barack Obama is causing FNC to bring everything they have onto the battlefield. With less than a week to go, the hell with subtlety, the hell with "Fair and Balanced" they're just going with Vietnam-style carpetbombing at this point.
(BTW, have you ever noticed that neither McCain NOR any right-wingers ever say the word "Vietnam"? EVER? They certainly never fail to mention that he fought in "a war", and was a POW, but, for some weird reason, they avoid using the words "Vietnam" or "Vietnam War". Why do you suppose that is???)
I didn't have time for much else besides Billo and Hannity tonight (I'm in the process of moving. I'm leaving Virgina the day after Election day. If the state elects Obama by only 1 vote, you'll know who to thank)
BILLO ASKS "WHO IS BARACK OBAMA"?
Un-convicted criminal and Fox Analyst Karl Rove is here with us.
New Rasmussen poll shows McCain more trusted on the economy!
The Khalidi tape is good stuff they both agree, but McCain should
have come out with it months ago. Too late, now. McCain should now just
keep hammering away at the economic issues.
Next up, Dick Morris, or Shit Weasel as I like to call him is up, and he's on the verge of a total meltdown and in this segment, you get to see where these guys are right now.
Weasel says he doesn't think Obama's prime time ad will be a failure because he doesn't have anythign new to say. But "McCain has plenty of new stuff to say -- about Obama's redistribution of wealth for example!"
As well as the LA Times withholding the now infamous "Khalidi Tape" !!
Oh you thought Shit Weasel was talking about issues? No, when he says "stuff" he's talking about new derogatory accusations to make against an opponent!
Weasel says I "I think this race is tied right now"
People who are undecided right now, will come out for McCain, he explains. Now, here's the great part of this segment: After referencing his debunked book 90 times, he also references it in trying to scare old people...
SW: You're going to have to have rationing of health care. And those senior citizens are going to be told 'no, you can't have that bypass surgery, you can't have that MRI, you can't have that CAT scan, because an illegal immigrant who's 20 years old, and has his whole life ahead of him is more deserving of those things than you are."
BOR: ..But that's the fear factor at work...so you belive that McCain should keep stoking the fear from now till election day? "
SW: Yes!
They're not even attempting to hid their motivations or their tactics anymore. Forget issues, forget facts, just spread fear, especially among the elderly. (Who form a nice portion of Billo's audience)
Dennis Miller is brought on to discuss the two dinks in LA who are hanging Sarah Palin in effigy at their West Hollywood home. This is, of course, a great opportunity to expose West Hollywood as... a hotbed of far-right extremism!! Which they do for a nice bit of time. Billo, never one to pump himself up as a tough guy says: If this happened in my town where I grew up, Levittown, they'd be...well, they'd be in trouble."
After that, Dennis (it's so sad what's happened to him) starts going in for the kill and reading off a half-assed laundry list of accusations against Obama.
DM: I think they're starting to check this guy out close, and I think
they're getting a litle creeped out by him. I'll be honest, this let-them-eat-urinal-cake momentwith Joe the Plumber was not a good moment
BOR: ...that was not a good moment...
DM: That is exactly the contingent that the Democratic party has sought out over the years. So to watch him laughing at this guy the next day, and to watch Joe Biden laughing at this guy the next day and to watch this TV station in Florida being taken off the list cause they didn't like it, and to hear that they wanna make union votes open instead of secret, all this stuff is creepy. ...For the first time I'm getting a creepy vibe from him...
For the record, I don't have the slightest idea what Miller is talking about as far as anyone "laughing" at Wurzelbacher. As for the Florida TV station, apparently Dennis hasn't seen the interview.
Then comes the outright solicitation:
BOR: It's the older people in Ohio, Pennslyvania, Florida, and Virginia who might be as you say, picking up the vibe, I don't know if the older folks would use the word 'vibe' but I think they may be picking that up and going...'I don't know..."I don't know"...do you think that what we're seeing in the polls...?
DM: I think they're starting to see that 48, 49% maybe 50% of the people in this country are NOT going to vote this guy.
Well OK, then!
Obviously, Miller, along with Morris and Rove are Bill's surrogrates. Since Bill's an "independent" he needs partisans as such to expound on FNC Talking points. But, I say again, it's a damn shame that someone as intelligent as Dennis has been reduced to being O'Reilly's shoe shine boy.
HANNITY AND COLMES
Basically the entire show is the "Khalidi Video" with lots of pundits "weighing in on this explosive new controversy" Bernie Goldberg and Michael Steele are there. Steele gets overheated during an exchange with Alan Colmes, (yes, he gets a few words in here and there) when Alan brings up the fact that McCain has a guy on his staff, William Timmons, who was a lobbyist for Saddam Hussein. Steele huffs: "That's well known, that's been talked about by the media for months now"
See now they're just outright lying about stuff. Oh, BTW, the newspaper industry is now doomed.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN.
Greta talks about the ad. She is such a stooge: "It was very staged, looked very artificial.." "...He wrapped himself in the flag..."
Unbelievable. After the Mission Accomplished debacle, after the 2004 RNC Convention exploiting 3,000 dead New Yorkers, she's spearing Barack for a "staged and artifical production that wraps itself in the flag"???
She also comments that this ad allows him to present his ideas and "not take any tough questions". Yes, the network that is pushing Sarah Palin to the moon now whines that he's not taking tough questions. Greta, did you see Barack on Bill O'Reilly's show by chance? I mean, I don't blame you for not watching, guys a douche, but you might want to have your facts straight before you go shooting off the mouth on certain things.
Wait a minute. Did I just say "have your facts straight" while referring to FNC? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Monday will be Funday at Fox. I fully expect to see eyes bulging outm hair being pulled out by the roots and Obama voodoo dolls being racked up.
