Larry Craig Taps His Way Into Webb GI Bill Debate - Politics on The Huffington Post
Note:
"Critics, such as Patrick Campbell, legislative director for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, argued that Graham's bill was "simply an attempt to derail Sen. Webb and Sen. Warner's fast-moving Post-9/11 GI Bill." And indeed, on Monday, Sen. Barack Obama admonished McCain for not signing on to Webb's measure.
"He is one of the few senators of either party who oppose this bill because he thinks it's too generous," Obama claimed, "I couldn't disagree more."~~~~Is it too "generous" for our soldiers to come home, if they get home, dismembered, suffering from PTS, or injured to the point where they cannot function on their own?

Bill Moyers On Olbermann: "I Was Greatly Encouraged...That People Saw Through [Hillary's] Flimsy Rationale For The Gas Tax" - Media on The Huffington
Note:
From the Page: "Bill Moyers appeared on Monday night's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann and discussed the state of the media as well as Jeremiah Wright (and the intersection of the two). Moyers decried the way the media oversimplifies stories, saying, "you won't be heard unless you learn to speak in the way of bumper stickers."

John Edwards Endorsing Obama Tonight? Speculation Grows - Politics on The Huffington Post
Note:
Exactly what Obama needs. He's rapidly losing the blue-collar vote to Clinton. IMO, some political maneuvering may be going on - Edwards on the ticket, maybe? Edwards said last week or so that he wasn't interested in VP, but now who knows? Either way, it's a good shot in the arm for Obama.

Kellyanne Conway, MSNBC Guest, Calls Hillary Clinton "Chief White Woman" In America - Media on The Huffington Post
Note:
Talk about political BS, you have got to see this. This Rev. Wright issue is bringing me to the point of nausea. "Chief White Woman" - Now we have the media itself injecting racism into the whole election. It's there already and not such an undercurrent. Gawd, I hate the media!

Obama's Reverend Wright Press Conference (VIDEO) - Politics on The Huffington Post
Note:
This is such a waste of time. The media is covering all of this irrelevant nonsense and not paying attention to things that Really Matter - economy, Iraq, Terrorism, Afghanistan. I want to hear more from this candidate about the important things and not this. Obama better get on the ball. He sure is losing my vote and very quickly.

Propaganda
Note:
"An open source video compilation, Propaganda offers a critical look at the "mainstream" media, featuring interviews and lectures by Noam Chomsky, bell hooks, John Pilger, Amy Goodman, music by dead prez and much more." ~~~~~~a long one, but well worth the watch and definitely keep in your mind that all you see is not true, as if we didn't know!

Bob Cesca: Have You Left No Sense Of Decency? - Media on The Huffington Post
Note:
"If the corporate media had been as diligent about watchdogging President Bush as they have been about watchdogging Reverend Wright, it's very likely we wouldn't have invaded Iraq." ~~~and the list goes on. A very good read about all that the media has screwed up in politics, iraq, the environment, everything but the facts we need to know.

MoveOn Launches "Mission Accomplished" Anti-McCain Ad: Watch Video - Politics on The Huffington Post
Note:
From the Page: "Voters need to know Senator McCain would continue President Bush's failed policies - in Iraq and elsewhere. A vote for him is basically a vote for a third Bush term." said Eli Pariser, MoveOn's Executive Director." I have a rather love/hate relationship with MoveOn. They have given me false info on a couple of occasions, but on the whole, they have a lot of clout in politics.

Hillary Clinton On O'Reilly Factor: Wright's Statements Are Offensive And Outrageous (VIDEO) - Politics on The Huffington Post
Note:
I do not watch Fox News, but this came to me from Huffpo, so I let it slide. Fox is probably the most biased news station, but it's strange - they change their bias as many times as I change web pages! I especially dislike O'Reilly.
