And what point was that? That this is another bogus issue? Yeah, I agree.

Why do you even post replies? You add absolutely nothing but sarcasm, which is worthless to even read. How about adding something of worth? This is a political forum. If you don't like the topics reply with something or just avoid the topic.

Has this forum come to personal attack on people we don't agree with and people only capable of 100% sarcastic responses? Makes me lose faith in debates.

Here is a concept; if you don't like the topic don't post worthless, sarcastic responses. Add to the debate and show why someone is wrong. This is a political forum and you will get opposing views.

I didn't realize there was a specific manner in which a person was required to reply on these forums. As long as I see these daily attacks on Obama, I will post as I see fit. It's very simple to ignore what I post. As for your original post, prove she is bias; prove she will slant the debate in Biden's favor; prove she is banking on book sales being determined by Obama's election.

As I told you on another thread, there is little or no debate on these boards because they have become "blast Obama central."

I didn't realize you didn't know how to start a thread. Should I create you a tutorial?

Anyone have something to add to this thread?

"I didn't realize you didn't know how to start a thread. Should I create you a tutorial?"

Ah, the rapier wit or should I say sarcasm?

You still didn't answer when I asked you to prove her bias. As far as Hannity is concerned, anyone who proclaims daily on his radio show he's in charge of the "Stop O'bama Express" (once called the "Stop Hillary Express") could hardly be called impartial. But, if he wanted to handle the debates, I would have no problem with it. Professionals must be impartial in those settings and he would either do a good job or make his biases known early on.

Some more great things about here:

Despite the protestations of her colleagues that she will be fair, Ifill has appeared on numerous radio and TV talk shows over the past several months to cash in on her access to the Obama campaign. She recently penned a fawning cover story on the Obamas for Essence magazine that earned much buzz. The title? “The Obamas: Portrait of an American Family.”

So, she wrote a great article on the Obama family and now has a book out that will sell well if Obama is elected. And we all know how "unbiased" she was in 2004.

During a vice-presidential candidate debate she moderated in 2004 – when Democrat John Edwards attacked Republican Dick Cheney’s former employer, Halliburton – the vice president said, “I can respond, Gwen, but it’s going to take more than 30 seconds.”


“Well, that’s all you’ve got,” she told Cheney.


Ifill told the Associated Press Democrats were delighted with her answer, because they “thought I was being snippy to Cheney.” She explained that wasn’t her intent.

Ah, the rapier wit or should I say sarcasm?

Do you know what sarcasm is? I wasn't being sarcastic. You haven't started any threads, then come in complaining that this is an Obama bash fest. Then you post replies with no real added value to the thread. I bet you don't vote and complain about the results. Hit the "new thread" button and post something. If it is an Obama Bash fest like you say, then start some thread showing how great he is or point out Palin and McCain's faults. I just looked over the first page and I see ton's of Palin bashing and non-Obama bashing threads.

I think she is in love actually. :)

I'm quite aware what sarcasm is. Your response about the tutorial struck me that way.
As for starting threads, no, I'm not as prolific as you but I posted one on the "Presidential Candidates" and their views on different issues. Unfortunately, I suppose it didn't have the shock value your threads do.

Please don't make any suppositions as to whether I vote or not or how I react to various candidates elections. You know nothing about my level political activism.

Say who? You? Should we compare viewership? Hannity has the 2nd most listened to show in radio and #1 cable TV show. Not even close. No you are in the minority in your opinion as he has 10 times the audience. Ask 10 people on the street if they know who Hannity is and who Gwen Ifill is. 99% will say, "Gwen who?" and about 80% will know who Hannity is.

What your responses do is prove my point. You guys have no problem with an obviously biased person moderating the debate and your biases/comments about Hannity show me that you would be complaining if he moderated the debate. Thanks for proven my point in about 20 minutes. :)

Audience size has nothing to do with credibility which is the point Rock was making.

And well-respected would be amongst her colleagues and fellow journalists, not the average American who only remembers the faces he/she sees on television.

Well, you don't start threads in this forum, then complain that it is a Obama bashing forum, then take the time to post a reply with 100&#37; sarcasm and complain.

You know nothing about my level political activism.

I do know that you complain and don't post a thread. That is all I have to go on. And then you post replies in a political forum complaining about people taking a political stance and post a completely wasteful, sarcastic response. You have still yet to post a new thread or a thoughtful reply to this thread. So, I'm off to bed!
