Original message
With friends like us, who's got time to fight the enemy? Barack is getting ****ed before he starts!
While Democrats are busy keeping Obama's feet to the fire, the Media and the Right Wing have him on a skewer BBQing him.
How can we win this way?
I say that he can't.
For those who want to rationalize, go ahead.....Since that's what it is all about.
Just don't ask how in the **** did we lose?
Oh my.
It's a big blazing conflagration on Skins's island, so only the primitives of prominence, plus the original primitive:

19. Because it takes less work dogging out your own?
When I try to engage DUers into writing letters to the media on shit that the media distorts about OBama, my threads sink quickly...without any but a couple of takers.
Now DUers are folks that spend a great deal of their time typing stuff up here at DU...but somehow can't muster up the strength to fight the media. Guess they just like singing to the choir in the safety of the comfortable DU.
Now, when someone disagrees with Obama and challenges him and has a negative thread title, everyone responds! he threads stays up and up......
Same with Anti McCain threads I have started; they sink. Anti Obama threads? Well, what's there not to like?
Like I said, we screw our own. Don't need no help. While the media spins negatively on Barack day in, day out......excusing McCain for every damn thing.....we continue to attack Obama, and act like we don't really give a shit about McCain.

70. That's all that you have ever done, is criticize OBama. In fact, you are an expert.
The only change you hoped for is not gonna happen.....i.e., Hillary.

34. So what have you done in reference to the bashing that he is receiving in the media for his public finance stance? Anything?

25. So keep slapping his face, while the media distorts and ****s him in the ass......
and see what happens.
GO ahead.
He is not supporting the FISA bill as is, and he stated so.
But do like the media and go for the shorthand version of things. that is what is expected of Americans these days anyway.

40. Then don't vote for OBama......
At this point, if that is the most important issue, then so be it.
Personally I wrote a letter to Barack in reference to this issue.
Then I wrote 8 letters to the media in reference to the Public Financing issue.
What have you done to make a difference, exactly?
Not a primitive of prominence, but well worth quoting:

53. Way to garner support for Obama...
Seriously, sometimes you'd be better off just shutting the **** up. I don't see how this is helping Obama at all.

57. Free speech runs two ways, Last I checked......
But when the media is hammering Obama on one issue, to pile in...although there has yet to be a senate vote, and Obama was clear that he will support the Dodd amendment, I think that the breathless drama on the FISA issue, when Obama states clearly that he will work to remove that provision from the bill is hot air, ImO.
Meanwhile the media is doing a job on Obama. What have you done in reference to that? Anything, or just thrown your hands up in the air in reference to the media, and how we can make a difference?
The bonfire just burns on and on.
No primitives of prominence showed up here, but it looks as if the Gaullic feline needs a rabies shot.
