Randy- I meant to say that I agree that all of the quotes you cited are ridiculous, and they do anger me.

That said- I still hold to my belief that it's happening on both sides with basically equal vigor (just google "Anti-Obama Fox" and see how many links pop up with anti-obama stuff, some of it "slip ups" like the Sadam/Obama text mistake, some of it more planned out.

Anyway, we disagree, but that's how I see it.

You seem to understand what I was getting at even though I posed it
badly, so I'll try again. I can present my view, I can present the

means by which I arrived at it, or I can do both. One seems to me to

bring more dialog and understanding, even from people who disagree,

but sometimes I choose differently to make a point. From what I've

read over the past few weeks feel you've managed to draw respect from

people on all sides of the issues as a result of the loving tactful

way you honestly address just what's on your mind and heart. One way I

try to overcome my problems communicating or my possible

misunderstanding of another's views is to pose questions, which can be

responded to or which seem to more easily invite requests for

clarification to me.

Ok... perfect timing. I just heard Glenn Beck say something totally stupid. Barack/Biden as faith healers :(

Biden made a mistake. Which reminds me, I don't believe MIchelle Obama ever hated America and roll my eyes every time I hear it.

FOX News has always said that the Muslim rumor isn't true (at least what I have seen.) I also learned that he went to both schools on FOX. Nobody made up Jeremiah Wright...he did it himself and Obama claimed strong allegiance to him and his church. That's hardly saying that he is "the worst thing since 9/11". I have not heard of foreigners funding his campaign and even Hillary made fun of Obama's "messiah" complex.

I also hadn't heard (truly) of ObamaNation so I will check it out. But still none of that is even comparable to having your daughters called sluts, stigmatized as homophobes, being laughed at, told you will be raped ... and such.

Granted, I think there is plenty of bile to go around (the fringey's and Ann Coulter from time to time) but the high profile slander is definitely on a whole new level coming in from the Left.

Sidenote: you are right, a majority, but not all, of the quotes above are from Hollywood, even though the MSM is repeating them all OVER the place ... and interestingly, many of the quotes are from gay identified people or activists.

Hi editorgal- thanks for your response, much appreciated.

Randy- I guess my point was that most of your links weren't attacks launched by the MSM, but rather by Hollywood or radical leftists or bloggers. There are plenty of those kinds of attacks coming from similar sources launched at Obama.

I'll agree that Obama isn't really dealing with the Hollywood attacks, but man the right wing media (read Fox) and the right wing radio hosts, local and national are all over him. in fact, the rumors were getting so bad, that Obama's campaign decided to launch an anti-rumor website to confront them.

I'm still hearing one of the local right wing talk hosts implying that Obama might be a muslim (and Fox news is the one that kind of broke this story by bringing out that he was educated in a Madrasa but failing to point out he was also educated in a Catholic School). The Muslim rumors have tons of side rumors such as he got sworn in on the Q'ran, or the "57" states rumor, so they're dozens of rumors in one.

Then there's the whole Jeremiah Wright issue. It's odd that some people on the far right are trying to have it both ways--he's a muslim, but he also attends a church where they hate white people or Anti-America. And let's not forget that MSM was ALL OVER the Wright issue for weaks. Rush Limbaugh even said they were giving it so much coverage as a directive from the Clintons.

There's the claim that he won't say the pledge of allegiance.

There's the claim that Hugo Chavez or other foreigners have been funding his campaign.

Or how about Rush Limbaugh saying repeatedly that the left is viewing Obama as the second coming or a "Christ figure"

The of course there's ObamaNation by Jerome Corsi, which has been praised by many, got all kinds of MSM attention, but is full of falsehoods and was written by an author with a very questionable record.

I'll stop for now. Honestly, I hadn't heard many of the anti-McCain stuff you put up there, and it took me about 20 minutes to get these, but there is plenty of "anti" from both sides.

Jonathan, I don't think I understand what your saying. I give people my opinion and never assume that I have the power to "give" them their own opinion.

While I hope to not be rude, I am direct all the while realizing they have to do whatever they gotta' do with themselves and God.

As am I, just drawing out the disturbing contrast. I often find it more effective to draw people to think and allow God to help them come to their his conclusions then give it to them. My words are fleeting, but his words, and the mark he makes on us will remain.

Woah!....makes me wonder if it'd been a similar hack of Obama's email if they'd have done anything.

But hands down you have got to be one of if not my favorite moderate. :)

I don't hear anyone warning Biden or Obama that they will be gang-raped. I do think the slander is weighing heavily to one side, and I'm a moderate :)

Did anyone else hear that the Grand Jury has decided not to bring charges against Governor Palins' e-mail hacker? These are troubling times indeed. Be safe.
