http://zennie2005.blogspot.com - Recently, NBC and MSNBC have been agressively working to change the terms of debate in the 2008 Presidential Race. This video's a great example. According to MediaMatters..
-- During his November 11 Meet the Press interview with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (IL) on NBC's Meet the Press, host Tim Russert asserted that "critics will say you've not been a leader against the war," and then read a quote he attributed to Obama: "In July of 2004, Barack Obama: 'I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports. ... What would I have done? I don't know,' in terms of how you would have voted on the war." After quoting two other Obama statements on the war, Russert concluded: "It doesn't seem that you were firmly wedded against the war and that you left some wiggle room that, if you were in the Senate, you may have voted for it." However, in citing Obama's comment "What would I have done? I don't know," Russert did not quote the very next sentence of Obama's statement, which was, "What I know is that from my vantage point the case [for authorizing the war] was not made." --
In other words, Tim Russert Misquoted Barack Obama, and perhaps deliberately. I think NBC's new approach is based on the idea that all politicians tell "less" than the truth about their beliefs. But it's easier to approach a line of questioning following that idea with Senator Clinton than it is with Senator Obama, who's quite authentic in his views -- that is, he's not always changing his stance, if he ever has, or has had to. This consistency of message damages NBC's approach, and results in this situation where Russert should appologize to Senator Obama.

Change you can believe in.
YOU are insulting MY inteligence? That's a laugh pal. I'm so far from white trash, your insult hardly stings. It only serves the point that you & all the other so-called "inteligent & educated" bastards are a bunch of fucking frauds, and, bye-the-way, the word is inBRED, "whitetrash" is NOT one word & a space proceeds a comma, things most EDUCATED people learn in 5th grade English class. Fact is, Russert didn't owe this fraudulant RACIST Mo Fo ANYTHING! His church is PURE RACISIM!!
intelligence, not inteligence
racism, not racisim
"by the way" not "bye-the-way"
a space succeeds a comma, it doesn't precede one (I'm assuming you didn't mean to put proceed)
See, isn't that annoying?
