youtube.com— FOX has been attacking Obama with the same relentless smear tactics that they used against John Kerry four years ago. Watch them use the exact same attacks.

Why is it that some people can only see out of one side of their glasses. Everyone is screaming about how poor Sarah has been attacked by the liberal media; but they can't see what Fox News and the Karl Roves of this country are doing to "swift boat" Obama.
A Conservative for ObamaMy party has slipped its moorings. It’s time for a true pragmatist to lead the country.Leading Off By Wick Allison, EDITOR IN CHIEFTHE MORE I LISTEN TO AND READ ABOUT “the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate,” the more I like him. Barack Obama strikes a chord with me like no political figure since Ronald Reagan. To explain why, I need to explain why I am a conservative and what it means to me.In 1964, at the age of 16, I organized the Dallas County Youth for Goldwater. My senior thesis at the University of Texas was on the conservative intellectual revival in America. Twenty years later, I was invited by William F. Buckley Jr. to join the board of National Review. I later became its publisher.Conservatism to me is less a political philosophy than a stance, a recognition of the fallibility of man and of man’s institutions. Conservatives respect the past not for its antiquity but because it represents, as G.K. Chesterton said, the democracy of the dead; it gives the benefit of the doubt to customs and laws tried and tested in the crucible of time. Conservatives are skeptical of abstract theories and utopian schemes, doubtful that government is wiser than its citizens, and always ready to test any political program against actual results.Liberalism always seemed to me to be a system of “oughts.” We ought to do this or that because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of whether it works or not. It is a doctrine based on intentions, not results, on feeling good rather than doing good.But today it is so-called conservatives who are cemented to political programs when they clearly don’t work. The Bush tax cuts—a solution for which there was no real problem and which he refused to end even when the nation went to war—led to huge deficit spending and a $3 trillion growth in the federal debt. Facing this, John McCain pumps his “conservative” credentials by proposing even bigger tax cuts. Meanwhile, a movement that once fought for limited government has presided over the greatest growth of government in our history. That is not conservatism; it is profligacy using conservatism as a mask.Today it is conservatives, not liberals, who talk with alarming bellicosity about making the world “safe for democracy.” It is John McCain who says America’s job is to “defeat evil,” a theological expansion of the nation’s mission that would make George Washington cough out his wooden teeth.This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now threatens to make worse.Barack Obama is not my ideal candidate for president. (In fact, I made the maximum donation to John McCain during the primaries, when there was still hope he might come to his senses.) But I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with him on many issues. But those don’t matter as much as what Obama offers, which is a deeply conservative view of the world. Nobody can read Obama’s books (which, it is worth noting, he wrote himself) or listen to him speak without realizing that this is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and prudent man. It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers.Most important, Obama will be a realist. I doubt he will taunt Russia, as McCain has, at the very moment when our national interest requires it as an ally. The crucial distinction in my mind is that, unlike John McCain, I am convinced he will not impulsively take us into another war unless American national interests are directly threatened.“Every great cause,” Eric Hoffer wrote, “begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” As a cause, conservatism may be dead. But as a stance, as a way of making judgments in a complex and difficult world, I believe it is very much alive in the instincts and predispositions of a liberal named Barack Obama.Original: <a class="user" href="http://www.dmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?nm=Core+Pages&type=gen&mod=Core+Pages&tier=3&gid=B33A5C6E2CF04C9596A3EF81822D9F8E">http://www.dmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?nm=Core+Pa ...</a>
But isn't it all the more scary that for some reason, we, as blacks/women/minorities can't come together and have the power to receive what is rightfully ours--storm the voting booths and hand this country to Barack. Instead, and I PRAY my words show me to be a fool and do not come true. What I see is McCain-Palin making it even more miserable, lowdown, violent, scary, a bigger nightmare for anyone struggling--those barely hanging onto hope. Young black men, older black men, blacks, minorities, legal or illegal immigrants, this country is going to be the hottest hell that we have ever seen--and WE are powerless to do anything about it, and, THEY know this. Their minds have never left the cotton fields where they believe we should still be on, or, shipped back dead to Africa. I was in New York, and, the east coast is being flooded with cops who have been granted the right to stop and frisk without reason. Poor folks who can't afford cable to know what's going on, cable companies are cutting them out Feb 2009--they already cut my Dad off and I paid and had to install digital into his house. What IS the difference between today and 1963, 1968, Malcolm's murder, Robert Kennedy murdered. It's a sign of what they will do and how far they will go to keep the control and power. I'm so sick of it, so sick of them, so sick of this country because I take one step forward and they push back and I'm three steps behind. My granddaughter is a college graduate with a Masters and worked two jobs while in school and she can't find a job. But I see (!@#! trash sitting behind a desk, white fake smiles, their demeanor, stores I walk into while in New York and I'm followed. I'm 70 years old and five feet and I'm turning around to the black guards they always hire to watch other blacks "young man, why are you following me?" He appears clueless. Anyway, we are our own worst enemy and until we love ourselves then one another, they will continue to keep control until Judgment Day and one can only hope their belief that God is white with blue eyes isn't true. But Malcolm said, "when the pilgrims came they had the bible and the indians had the land, when the pilgrims were finished they had the land and the indians had the bible." Makes me wonder every time I go to church on Sunday and pray for God to show me a sign that He hears me. because my grandkids are suffering in this country and we want to leave now because it's going to be hell on fire in 2009 when McCain-Palin win. You already see the news making whites scared and nervous of Barack, and, the media is winning and Bush controls the White House and he stole it from Gore, so you think he's going to allow Barack in? And who you think owns 99% of the media and news outlets, their boards members are all rich white republicans. They control the news. I'd say wake up my people--but you been asleep too long to wake up.
Jordon calm down this world is not that sick, As a matter of fact in by 2020 whites will be thw minority and then what. How many mallotto babies are born everyday. I can understand this viewpoint if you lived in some parts of the South but on the East Coast? And now a black man is winning in every single poll, doesn't this mean anything to you?

In Great Britain FOX News is listed as entertainment. Not news. We could learn a lot from them.
