DOG BITES MAN.
Did you see that the BBC is leading it’s US election coverage with the shock horror news that “Alaska newspaper endorses Obama“? Alaska’s largest-circulation paper, the Anchorage Daily News, said state governor Mrs Palin was “too risky” to be one step away from the presidency. Mmm. Funny how the BBC didn’t tell us that this same newspaper endorsed Kerry in 2004 and Gore in 2000. The BBC – half the picture, all the time.
Yes I spotted that as well. Odd isn’t it? No, not really just part of “the narrative”.
why would an obviously impartial news service like the BBC leave this bit of information out? 🙂

What this tells me is that the Anchorage Daily News has a long history of endorsing LOSERS.
….sometime yesterday evening on what used to be called News 24, a gushing beeboid-ette ended her report of this amazing development with a head-shaking “…. that’s Sarah Palin’s own state endorsing Obama”.
No, airhead, it’s just a newspaper.

Because in her state, Governor Palin has an 80% approval rating.
The US Congress has something like a 12% approval rating.
As for journalist — in ALL polls, hacks usually reside in the BOTTOM three of most disliked professions.
Ah well, I guess you can dismiss it as just being in The Telegraph…
The pro-Obama BBC is looking forward to US election night

The BBC/chattering classes/talking heads/leftists/socialists so desperately want/need an Obama victory, you can see the glazed over look of a cultist in their eyes, no amount of common sense will penetrate their tiny brains!
They are making the same old mistake of believing their own propaganda, they are in for a shock in a few days, they have yet to learn that all the faked up polls,lies,media manipulations,fake voters,fake stories,mindless smears and propaganda may please a narrow section of the US electorate but the majority are not fooled!
Planning a victory party adress BEFORE the result has lost Obama enough votes and made enough non voters get off their arses and vote Codger McCain to tip the result from very narrow to close in favour of the codger and the anti Palin vitriol has lost the democreeps vital votes, this will not become apparent untill the last one or two days before the vote.
Democreep arrogance in proclaiming victory BEFORE the event has lost them the chance of victory, every non voter has now been given an incentive to get out to the polling booths, idiot socialists never learn do they? The ordinary voter hates and punishes those who take them for granted!
The Obama lovefest on the BBC is ridiculous, its as bad as Fox News is shilling for the Republicans.
By contrast, Sky seem to have balanced coverage with their mock-up whitehouse, showing some of the 45% or so who still actually vote Republican (if you watched the BBC you’d think it was 20% going on the coverage)
I personally think that Obama might make a better POTUS than McCain. However I would like to see mcCain win simply to enjoy the schadenfreude in the BBC which will last for days even weeks
Would anyone else prefer it if all the bloggers kept to the same title format?
Vance seems to favour the TABLOID SHOUTY HEADLINE, while Hugh et al keep it lower case.
Not really very important, but slightly annoying nonetheless. One or the other please.
Arthur Dent:
I personally think that Obama might make a better POTUS than McCain.
Only if you think a down the line socialist as President of the United States is a good idea.
Sounds awful to me. But it’s not going to happen.
While I am hoping for a “Kinnock” outcome I fear the Americans are sleep walking into a Blair (“Things can only get better”) moment.
The media will be unquestioning of policies, just like they were here until Iraq (stand up the BBC to receive your special award). Yet it has all ended like the story of the Emperor’s new clothes.
Americans, you have been warned.
Snooze 24:
“The Obama lovefest on the BBC is ridiculous, its as bad as Fox News is shilling for the Republicans.”
No, it is much, much worse. The UK tax payer has to pay for the lovefest.
According to Justin Webb, based on recent blog entries, you are either uneducated, racist, or both, if you so exercise your choice to vote for the Republicans on Nov. 4.
What does this guy do while in America? Who the hell does he hang out with? Let me guess, just a bunch of Beltway Bozos who happen to share his political leanings.
The boy is deluded.
Snooz,
Love em or hate em, Fox at least gives both sides of the arguement an airing.
When was the last time you saw Al beeb have both right and left views on this election?
Fox seems to be the only station actually covering the election in an “impartial” manner!

Snooze 24 | 27.10.08 – 5:25 pm
yeah – but i’m not forced , under pain of a jail sentence, to pay for Fox News.
What’s so insulting is the pre-scripted formula out of pol-sci. We have had oldest American won’t vote for her. Partisan Democrat newspaper won’t vote for her – its all staged, pre-scripted, not unfolding news, its on autocue. Election day minus 4:”Palin’s mother says she wouldn’t vote for her” Day -3 “Palins dog says if it could vote it wouldnt vote for her Day-2 Palins husband believes she should stay home and wash the dishes so won’t vote for her Day-1 Palin claims even she wouldn’t vote for herself….
Who do they think we are? Do they think we HAVEN’T NOTICED their shameful behaviour agenda? Do they think we believe a word of what they say? On cue each morning another smear another lie.
This is not “news”, this is “news management”. I am utterly appalled
“Cassandra | 27.10.08 – 4:59 pm ”
the more i study obama, the more i realise that he is certainly NOT from the peace-and-love wing of the Beeboid universe.
he’s militant. like Bill Ayers.
Obama going to war against Iran?
Certainly. I don’t discount it…

note as well how the Beeb is curiously quiet about Catholic bishops becoming politically active for the first in time living memory – coming out explicitly against the abortion stances of Biden and Pelosi – and basically saying to their flocks, that if they vote Democrat , they are voting for evil.
ok – i paraphrase.. but its pretty darn close to it. and its HUGE amongst the Catholic community in America.
now thats a bit of a bigger story than some Alaskan rag…
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/articles/a0000402.shtml
An American archbishop has called Barack Obama the “most committed abortion-rights candidate” from a major party to run for the presidency in 35 years.
Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado, said that Catholics who supported Obama were dishonest and doing “a disservice to the Church”.
The archbishop said: “I believe that Senator Obama, whatever his other talents, is the most committed ‘abortion-rights’ presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe vs Wade abortion decision in 1973.
“I do not know any proportionate reason that could outweigh more than 40 million unborn children killed by abortion and the many millions of women deeply wounded by the loss and regret abortion creates.
“To suggest-as some Catholics do-that Senator Obama is this year’s ‘real’ pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse.
“To portray the 2008 Democratic Party presidential ticket as the preferred ‘pro-life’ option is to subvert what the word ‘pro-life’ means.”
From Gateway Pundit:
“The LA Times is holding a video that shows Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gives a toast to a former PLO operative at this celebration. If the American public saw this side of Barack Obama he would never be elected president.
But, the media refuses to release this video.
Terrorist Bill Ayers— Barack Obama— Jew-hater Rashid Khalidi
There are also reports that terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn were at the Jew-bash.
FYI: I was contacted by a major news organization today regarding the video of Barack Obama toasting former PLO operative Rashid Khalidi at a Jew-bash in Chicago in 2003.
They’re working on a story.
I will let you know if and when there are more updates.”

“I believe that Senator Obama, whatever his other talents, is the most committed ‘abortion-rights’ presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe vs Wade abortion decision in 1973.”
Worse,Obama would permit aborted children who survive be left to die alone.Obama isn’t pro- abortion,Obama is anti-life.
Tulula,
My name is David, please address me as such. I use caps because I want and it is one way to distinguish my posts from others.
Jason: I wonder if this is what the Clintons have? There was always a rumour that they had a video of Obama originally thought to be of him in Church with the racist Wright spouting on.
If it did exist the Clintons never used it obviously.
Why do we expect anything better from a multi-billion pound corporation that has an income guaranteed by the criminal law?
Such an organisation can pay people £6 million per year to make masturbatory jokes about an ex-prime minister and to make lewd phone calls to senior citizens without any consequences whatsoever to its income stream.
The BBC is a law unto itself. As long as its main business is the mass maufacture of dumbed down entertainment to the dimmer sections of the population it can be assured of popular support.
Garden Trash,
Good point about Obama, if any of us saw a tiny child in distress left to die in a sink/metal basin we would move heaven and earth to save it yes?
The laws Obama would enact would force/enable doctors to leave a tiny defenceless child struggling for life with human beings watching and doing nothing to help!
The mark of an advanced civilisation is its ability to see distress and move heaven and earth to heal that distress, making laws that enable the callous murder and abuse of defenceless children is the mark of degenerate civilisation not worthy of the prefix civilised!
Just dropping in to make a constructive suggestion:
Do “Palin derangement syndrome” and “Anti-McCain” really need to be separate categories? Same with “Pro-Obama” and “PRO-OBAMA AT ALL COSTS!!1!” Surely you could consolidate them into “Pro-Obama” and “Anti-McCain”, or, I know this is quite radical, but maybe put them all into something like “US Election ’08”.
I’ve also noticed that you tend to use tags as an extra place to fill with rage, rather than to make the blog easier to navigate. Might I suggest that you simplify and consolidate them, just for the sake of your readership?

“a guide to the political left”
The BBC is reaching dizzying heights of self-parody now. Just spotted on its ludicrous shillsite: “Skinheads planned to kill Obama”
Tags are great. Make me laugh.
Archduke,
I believe the church who questioned Obama’s stances on abortion etc is now being investigated by the IRS.
So, we get news outlets being banned and people being investigated for questioning “The Ones” ™ political stances. Doesnt bode well for the future does it?

Mailman:
You know what is scaring a lot of folks and you don’t hear it but in whispers, and that not even in public, but behind closed doors? This Obamination could get assasinated by some nutcase – and not just now, but later (after he loses the election) – and it will set history back twenty years. That’s what scares us. Or worse, say he’s elected, then what? Nobody is perfect, and neither is security. The threat of such grief is palatable.
In the scenario between the two, give me the threat of socialism for four years, even eight, the other possibility is a dreadful one. I love my country too much, and yes, I am old enough to remember Kennedy being shot!
I just wonder how many plots there are to kill any President?
I’m sure there are nutters out there that would try to plug McCain.
Obama won’t get assassinated,all the usual suspects are either leftists or Islamists,they love him. All the governments who could have him whacked will be ecstatic as he drags America leftward down the shit hole.
Wikipedia has a page which lists every assassination attempt on U.S. Presidents:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidential_assassination_attempts
Looking back at Presidents over the last 40 years for example, they’ve all had attempts made on their life. JFK was the unluckiest of course.
Not that any of this will stop Beeboid types from seeing a plan to assassinate Obama – by two dumb skinhead crackpots who didn’t stand a hope in hell – as some kind of “special” occurrence, one which they’ll be able to use as a platform to indict “racist America”. Indeed, if Obama loses the election you can bet they’ll include it as part of their “why America is too racist to elect a black man” summary.
I bet half of them don’t even recall that Reagan actually GOT shot.
betyangelo:
Given that plots have been uncovered to assassinate virtually every other U.S. President, what makes Obama so special? What I read from your post is that you think he should, regardless of his dreadful ideological agenda, be elected “to avoid any trouble.”
You’ve just reduced American democracy to the level of a protection racket.
Oh no no no – Jason. America is not too racist for a black prez. It is too independent for a socialist.
Obama is “special” in that he is thus far our most liberal candidate. Attempts at his life hang on his agenda, but given his color as well – well. In my old neighborhood long ago in a galaxy far far away the last cross burning took place in 1979. I do not want him elected. That is the racist card being played – my point is dread over what this whole scenario represents, what it forces, what it throws in our faces. But is the man’s agenda, his secretive past – he couldn’t pass the security screening his agents must – pile that up with his ARCORN past and the fact his gramma cousins aunties uncles won’t even come to see him – there’s a problem here.
And violent attempts at his life, which will happen in unprecedented amounts should he be elected or unelected, would tail spin this country backward.
The man is a disaster for all and sundry.
Obama Assassin just another facebook wannabe. The kid doesn’t even know how to handle his gun.
Dismiss, but take note.
Apologies, David.
Lies. The article says quote:
“The paper has a liberal record and backed the Democratic candidate in the last three presidential elections”
Good Morning Mailman:
Biden was chosen for being a liberal icon. He epitomizes the sensative guy and would wear hisself a pony tail to prove it, if he could. There is a huge disconnect between his brain and his mouth, which has caused him to lose before. I can’t picture him scaring a terrorist plot away – so I don’t see the virture you do, however, in a worst case scenario what can we do? He would be the prez, and yes, a lot less toxic than the Messiah.
