Obama's Spiritual Guide: 'God Damn America

At the end of a Good Morning America segment today about Barack Obama's pastor, the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., an Obama campaign representative complained that John McCain's pastor had not been similarly "vetted." If that's true, then ABC or some other media outlet surely should and will do so. Let's imagine that upon vetting, McCain's pastor is found to have made statements that were…

Open Thread

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: the race factor in this election (video of Obama discussing this issue available here).Are you surprised by the amount of focus this is getting during a Democrat nomination process?

Gay Porn as Required Reading in Ill. High School, Media Silent

The story of an Illinois high school making a gay pornographic play required reading for seniors has been reported since March 7th, but it has been ignored for the most part with only a handful of news outlets having taken on this issue. The fact that a public high school that requires such reading doesn't raise a fuss in the media shows how the media supports the gay agenda, of course. It also…

SNL Parody? GMA Puffs Obama, Grills Clinton Supporter

In a striking resemblance to a pair of recent "Saturday Night Live" skits, the March 12 edition of "Good Morning America" began with a fawning interview of Barack Obama, then grilled Hillary Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro. Co-host Chris Cuomo first congratulated Obama for his Mississippi victory, then questioned if it "seals the deal." Cuomo added he is "sure you’re [Obama] gaining the…
