Right Wing Nation

Think so?

This whole Obama thing has *got* to be a put-on by the DNC. Any minute Allen Funt will pop out and they’ll announce the real ticket is Hillary Clinton and Phil Bredesen (or Mark Warner) or something, right?

Pretty good, but so is this one:

I think they spent months trying to figure out how they can position Obama as better qualified than McCain, and basically came up with the fact that Obama can type.

But John Hinderaker says (seriously):

I guess now we’ll find out whether Barack Obama is capable of shame.

He’s far too impressed with himself. That’s what the whole campaign is about, you know. His insufferable ego. Why do you think he’s encouraged this cult worship?

Speaking of (cults) and speaking of (Glenn Reynolds), just when you thought the liberals couldn’t come any more unglued, they do! And this mouthbreather is way beyond just unglued. It’s a big psychotic group hug, and more hardcore feminists are getting pretty annoyed.

Speaking of, the Atlantic takes on the press:

In the voting booth on November 4, it’s likely that most members of the media will pull the lever for Barack Obama. Whether or not they put aside their professional standards and actively try to get him elected is another matter. But because conspiracy theories are fun (see VF.com’s Trig Palin parentage timeline ), let’s assume for a moment that they do. Is there any way they could effectively accomplish it? Let’s review what they’ve tried so far:

1. Fawning coverage of Obama (the candidate with a halo-like glow around him on the covers of Newsweek, Time, and Rolling Stone; Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews gushing so embarrassingly that they had to be removed from MSNBC’s anchor desk)

2. Digging dirt on Obama’s opponents (The Times’s innuendo-laced piece about McCain’s ties to lobbyist Vicki Iseman; the poorly fact-checked stories about Palin’s supposed book-banning and secessionist proclivities)

3. Tough but fair investigations into McCain and Palin’s various lies, bad decisions, and questionable policies

Those are pretty much the only weapons in the media’s arsenal, and so far none of them have really worked.

Think it could have something to do with this?
