CNN tries to depress the vote again

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 22, 2008 06:42 PM

Caution: Obamedia at work.

I’m waiting for a connection at the Atlanta airport, where CNN is inescapable.

On every TV, a CNN caption is ubiquitous: “PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”

Reality check:

Thousands of people keep turning up to her rallies across America. The common sentiment? She continues to energize the base. She’s the reason voters are turning up and turning out. Grass-roots activists are dispirited by McCain, but buoyed by Sarah’s boundless optimism and willingness to fight.

Never mind. CNN will keep drumming its Ministry of Truth messages to solidify the MSM narrative.

“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”
“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”
“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”
“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”
“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”
“PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN.”

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is imploding.

    What a CROCK! They wish she wasn’t the most exciting, energizing person running for public office. Jealous that Michelle Obama can’t pack ‘em in like Sara can? Maybe they’re trying to detract from the gaffe factory that is Joe Biden. Keep slinging the mud, libs, but just so you know–your insecurities are showing.

    The media is pathetic.

    Not only is Sarah propelling John, she is farging hawt. Not to mention far smarter and experienced than the rubes in the tubes claim.

    The dinosaur media is mired in the pits, wrestling with the tar babies of bias and betrayal, as they slowly sink into well-deserved obscurity.

    You know what, Michelle? Let CNN and others put out dire predictions about the McCain-Palin ticket. It just end up backfiring on the O-B ticket. Shoot. If people watching CNN and their news thinking the M-P ticket is so bad they may just decide to stay and not vote. If it’s so bad then the O-B ticket is already a shoo-in. So, why bother to vote when they are predicting a landslide which means record voter turnout on election day.

    Good idea, Democrats. Give them something to believe in enough so that they don’t have to go out and vote since it’s a shoo-in anyways.

    My issue is, that they try this BS every election… OK so even if BHO doesn’t win this time, they just keep trying incite race riots.

    Even back in March, in his “important speech on race”, Obama was planting the seeds of race riots: Obama Nation: Using Racism In Order To Form A More Socialist Union

    Watch the video linked in the following post and hear him talk about the “quiet riot”: Who is “Inspired” to “Bring an Empire to its Knees”?

    The amazing thing is that in that video, Obama says that the “quiet riot” stirs because [socialist] government handouts never seem to get to the people who need them. Well, why didn’t Tony Rezko use the government money he was given to fix up that low income housing? Obama is very much a part of the very problem he is condemning!

    The media is setting the stage so that Obama wins either way…

    If he “wins”, he wins.
    If he “loses”, he incites a [Communist] Revolution.

    How?

    By inciting riots with claims that “racists stole the election from Obama”.

    A speaker at a supposedly non-partisan Acorn conference said:

    “They stole the election in 2000. They stole the election in 2004. We are not going to allow them to steal the election in 2008!

    ACORN is accused of massive voter registration fraud in multiple states. It is ACORN that is trying to steal an election, all the while trying to convince people that if their clearly favored candidate doesn’t win, then the other side “stole” the election. Classic projection and ideological subversion.

    I’m voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America

    I’m voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.

    I’m voting Democrat because I believe people who can’t tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years if I don’t start riding a bicycle, build a windmill, or inflate my tires to proper levels.

    I’m voting Democrat because it’s alright to kill millions of babies as long as we keep violent, convicted murderers on death row alive.

    I’m voting Democrat because I believe businesses should just break even and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.

    I’m voting Democrat because illegal aliens are not criminals, are not sucking up resources through government aid, hospital services, education, or social services, but are just people trying to make a better life by coming to America illegally.

    I’m voting Democrat because the same teacher that didn’t teach my child to read can reasonably educate them about sex.

    I’m voting Democrat because my trial lawyer’s crippling multi-million dollar lawsuits against doctors, hospitals, drug companies, and HMO’s will make health insurance and medicine much more affordable.

    I’m voting Democrat because Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and Jesse Jackson will end racism once and for all.

    I’m voting Democrat because skin color and good oratory skills are more important than judgment and experience.

    I’m voting Democrat because protecting barren wasteland is more important than energy independence.

    I’m voting Democrat because I believe that Cuba, Russia, and China should be on the United Nations Human Rights Council.

    I’m voting Democrat because I believe that everyone is essentially good — even people like Ahmadinejad.

    I am voting Democrat because I believe in change; although I don’t know WHAT the change will be, or HOW it will happen, AND I am pretty sure that I won’t WANT to actually change anything I do, but still….I believe in change.

    I’m voting Democrat because the government knows how to raise children better than parents do.

    Just like Obama was trying to (quite literally) brainwash voters with:

    A light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself,
    “I have to vote for Barack”

    Many people criticized that for being ridiculous, but weren’t even awareness that it is a form of hypnosis.

    This document contains over 60 pages of evidence and analysis proving Barack Obama’s use of a little-known and highly deceptive and manipulative form of “hack” hypnosis on millions of unaware Americans, and reveals what only a few psychologists and hypnosis/NLP experts know.

    it is opposite day every day in the liberal media world. biden is a drag on obama. his big accomplishment was his decision to select biden. and we’ve learned that it takes obama 3 or 4 tries to get the right response/decision to an issue. they should have reminded him that with choice of VP you don’t get a do over, unless something happends to the first choice. now he is stuck with stupid.

    the news media wants to make sure that obama doesn’t have to spend his time on the campaign trail defending biden. so they’ll lead the way with the opposite tag line of the day to ensure all is well in camp obama tonight.

    I agree. I think McCain is a trojan horse.

    Pray for riots.

    No. I pray for all corruption, regardless of party, to be exposed, prosecuted, convicted, and prevented.

    I pray that John McCain’s corruption will be handled by Sarah Palin the same way she handled Republican party corruption in Alaska. :-)

    Do you remember how he spent the most important Christian holiday (Resurrection Sunday/Easter)?

    Vacationing in the Virgin Islands. He claimed:

    “We did a little Easter service here, because we couldn’t go to church, and the kids read some Scripture and we had Easter dinner, and I’ve been mostly playing with them in the pool.”

    I’d like to hear him recite 1 or 2 of those Scripture verses.

    He, like Nancy Pelosi, will not quote the Bible accurately.

    And he will not say 3 simple words: Jesus is Lord.

    He won’t say that, even though his very salvation depends on it.

    Obama believes in the completely unBiblical, socialist concept of “collective” salvation.

    You know it’s not going to happen, not with the press doing its best to cover for the Democrats foul deeds. Had there been an honest press corps in this country Sen. Dodds and Rep Frank would be awaiting trial for their efforts to fan the fires of the Fannie Mae fiasco.

    If there was a responsible press in this country Barak Obama would right now be sitting on the sidelines mourning his loss as his connection to Fannie Mae money and Freddie Raines are plastered all over the front pages of the papers.

    If the supposed ‘watchdogs’ of our society had any modicum of honesty and decency, this moronic headline “PALIN AS DRAG ON MCCAIN” would instead read “BIDEN: AMERICAN EMBARASSMENT”

    Nothing is going to be exposed, not in our lifetimes, which are starting to grow very short.

    One of the houses in my neighborhood has a McCain/Palin sign. They have a piece of paper over the McCain part, with the words “I (heart) Sarah” in it’s place, so the sign ends up reading:

    “I (heart) Sarah Palin”

    The best tactic for Obama seems to be to let the MSM campaign for him and for he and Biden to lay low – it has been his best campaign tactic to date.

    Reader “sweetakin” commented on my blog:

    My two children (18 and 24) who will be voting this election were beyond apathetic before Palin joined the ticket. They now sport bumper stickers and all. I tell you what, Palin is more popular with college-aged kids who didn’t drink a whole dose of Kool-aid early on than the MSM realizes or reports. The facebook community is full of excited young Republicans who are going with the McCain-Palin ticket. Palin is such a wonderful role model, especially for my daughter who is voting for the first time. Truly a blessing! A drag? Nonsense! (they wish)

    and

    It frustrates me to no end to read MM and you guys and not be able to contribute (closed registration), so I just read in silence day after day. I’m a fairly recent widow who has raised my three children in a Christian home. We always study and evaluate everything that happens from the standpoint of the Bible and what it means to the modern world.

    ditto to the above poster that wishes Michelle would open registration, but certainly understand. There are more of us guys (gals) with you guys, but we’re just silent readers at this point.

    Michelle, I understand that every open registration brings both new fans and new trolls, and you may not want new trolls right before the election (my mind imagines “Denial of Service” attacks from floods of troll comments), but are you willing to open a registration window?

    Yeah, she is a real downer and she will be appearing about 2 blocks from my house this Friday. Oh I guess I will go…Heh! I will be the first one there.

    SPRINGFIELD — People eager to see and hear vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin quickly snatched up the 4,000 available tickets to her rally on Friday. The demand and the number of disappointed people caused the McCain-Obama campaign and Republican Party officials to scramble Wednesday to move it to a bigger site than McDonald Arena at Missouri State University.

    Just before 6 p.m, party officials said the rally would be at a parking lot outside Bass Pro Shops’ Outdoor World store at the corner of Sunshine Street at Campbell Avenue. It will still start at 11 a.m.

    A news release says people who stood in line and got tickets should bring those tickets with them to the rally, where they’ll be in a special reserved section. Those who don’t have tickets will have a different section.

    # Allegations of voter registration fraud have surfaced in several states
