Why would the business interest driven media hide the assassination plot news?

Isn’t it funny how the liberal media the ring-wing noise machine keeps ranting about simply does not exist? Crooks and Liars has an excellent analysis of the foiled attempt to shoot Barack Obama, United States Attorney of Colorado Troy Eid’s attempt to portray this as a minor threat, and the media (all networks) simply not […]

About McCain’s Choice for Running Mate…

I am completely stunned… insulted, surprised, and in disbelief…. Am I the only person who thinks it is completely unacceptable for any strict Creationist to be seriously considered for the office of President of the United States?
