How Much Of This Anger Is The Media's Fault?

Is it really a surprise that individuals prone to support McCain that have been following the election closely enough to read alternative, or new media are outraged right now?

It's certainly no surprise to me that the lop-sided coverage breeding so much frustration among so many would now attempt to turn that frustration into yet another negative against John McCain and his supporters. As always, the media is being self-serving and short-sighted as to how this might all play out.

“I’m mad; I’m really mad!” the voter bellowed. “And what’s going to surprise ya, is it’s not the economy — it’s the socialists taking over our country.”

After the crowd settled down he was back at it. “When you have an Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there gonna run this country, we gotta have our head examined!”

Obama's friend Bill Ayres had his start with Chicago's Days of Rage. The economy is in a meltdown, so much so that a Republican president is dangerously flirting with socialist principles. Now, thanks in large part to a media that won't fairly report all the news, or investigate both candidates equally, a potential president aligned with the likes of a Pelosi who talked of nationalizing the oil companies even before there was a financial crisis may end up in the White House next year.

In the end, the likes of Ayres and his bunch and the Leftists Obama has courted at each stage of his career are little more than a blemish on the backside of the real American middle class, which manages to work, pay it's taxes and always muddle through somehow in a capitalist system.

If this charade continues through to election day, Chicago's Days of Rage demonstrations will end up looking like an episode of The New Zoo Revue. Imagine a hard working, mostly white middle class marching on Washington wondering how this inept government destroyed the American dream, while an empty suit that happens to be black thinks he can simply take to a microphone and everything will be just fine. Face it, he has absolutely no experience of accomplishing anything significant beyond that.

There may indeed be blood in the streets before the current political and economic issues before the nation are resolved. But it won't have much of anything to do with Race, it'll be about the fundamental principles of this Republic a great many Americans are not prepared to give up without a serious fight.

And the rage won't just last days ... it could be a battle fought for years and not always without its victims. Can you imagine the look on the faces of the Obama-loving Ayres apologists at the New York Times when the bombs start exploding in their lobby, instead of the Pentagon?

I'm not advocating it, but I do fear some Americans probably can imagine it at this point. In fact, I have little doubt of it. And I can understand that rage, even if I wouldn't support such an action.

We are living in truly interesting times.

"She advised me that the invisible black upper middle class is not all "in the can" for Obama as some would have you believe. It was wonderful talking to her as it reaffirmed my belief that americans are a thinking people. Americans will think before they pull the lever, they will think a lot. That can only be a good thing, no matter who they pick." - mary

For example, let's say you support Obama. Here, being a responsible citizen means playing devil's advocate by opening your mind to all the arguments against Barack Hussein Obama as well as reconsidering the many positives of war hero John McCain. If you're undecided the good news is that... the SAME EXACT METHOD works here too!!! Well, that should cover everything.

If Americans give this kind of serious thought to their decision they can avoid making a huge mistake they'll regret for eternity, no matter who they pick.

That's not true! At most it's a half-truth!
