Lefties Seething Over Obama on Fox

Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 9:09:36 am PDT

Barack Obama’s decision to appear on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (today at 11am/3pm Pacific) has provoked a round of extreme seething among the leftist blogs.

Open Left has Obama figured out; he’s a right-wing undercover operative.

Obama is sucking up to Fox News, and beyond that, the campaign operative who said he would just out and out gave false information.

You can’t trust the Obama campaign, they will lie to you to promote right-wing institutions.

And a Kos Kid swears not to vote for Obama, now that he has Fox cooties on him: Daily Kos: Obama Lost My Vote By Going on Fox.

Obama’s appearance on Fox news was a tactical mistake of massive proportions. In addition, it legitimized the greatest threat to our country — fact free debate. As such, Obama has lost my vote.

Fox News — the greatest threat to our country!

UPDATE at 4/27/08 9:28:11 am:

Another Kos Kid pleads for them to be pragmatic: Daily Kos: This is Who Obama Is.

At the core of Obama’s political philosophy is the belief that real divisions should not stand in the way of conversation. He has always believed that it is right and necessary for us to speak to folks on the other side of the aisle, to speak with our enemies. That to do so is a sign of strength, of problem-solving, and that it can be done without having to compromise any of our own values in the process.

I don’t agree with this strategy. At all. But I respect it. I understand it. And I made my peace with it long ago when I came around to openly supporting Obama’s candidacy at the beginning of the year. For progressives to suddenly complain about this suggests they either haven’t been paying attention to Obama’s core values, or have conveniently decided to only remember them now in order to beat him over the head.

The irony here is completely off the scale. These are people who advocate speaking with our real mortal enemies, enemies who chant “Death to America” and kill American soldiers and civilians, but they’re unyielding when it comes to ... Fox News?

Its continues to amaze me how, collectivle, when it comes to Fox, these people have their hands over their ears and are saying 'lalalalalalalalala I can't hear you'. Fox does have some bias, but they are honest about it. that's part of the reason why many like them. They are certainly far more balanced.

I expect the interview to be respectful and to hit him between the eyes at the same time.

I wonder if the bomber convinced these folks.....

I think that is a hard but true statement. Thus, Obama adopting an even more populist message or denouncing Rev. Wright even harder is not going to change the minds of these ignorant Appalachian racist backwater white trash types.

Fortunately, these Appalachian backwater types are mostly in deep red states that we don't need to win.

Obama will shine nicely with the moderate white voters in the new midwest swing states, so to hell with Appalachia.

Yes, related....a week ago Friday, I had on a local "community radio" station.....basically an independent public radio station. Very very liberal, but they have good music programs on in the mornings and afternoons (then political crap in the evenings). KFAI for those of you in the Twin Cities. So anyway, last week was fundraising time, and the lady said "we have a wide diversity on here. It's not like Fox News where only one viewpoint is allowed".

The irony meter went nuts. FNC has many liberal commentators and guests. I have NEVER heard a conservative voice, not once, in the 7 years of listening to this radio station. Even their non-political music programing, which is what I generally listen to, has liberal hosts who like to share their hatred of Bush.

That's exactly how they see us.

Personally- I don't see them as enemies, just deluded idiots.

Agreed. That is how I've always seen them. Misguided, misinformed idealist. A block to out-vote, but never as an enemy.

I would like to still think of them that way - but has anybody else noticed the rise in violent rhetoric, followed by violent clashes that involve these folks? Very disturbing. In these cases I would like the police to take a more proactive role to show that violence will not be tolerated and is not part of their 1st Amendment rights.

I'm thinking that the hard left is getting so desperate that they're about ready to exhume Che Guevara, and prop his carcass up at the dais in Denver. Sort of a Weekend At Bernie's sort of thing. They will have Markos do the voice-overs.

Juan Williams has been very hard on Obama

Yes, Mr. Williams has a shred of integrity, unlike Mr. Obama.

He has been

I think he drank the kool-aid

Obama’s appearance on Fox news was a tactical mistake of massive proportions. In addition, it legitimized the greatest threat to our country — fact free debate. As such, Obama has lost my vote

If these types ever had any power, they would enact a form of auto-genocide. Why? Because such types aren't interested in real evil, but fighting "evil" that poses no risks. A sad and detestable group of fools.

Obama was talking to Chris about the questions he is going to bring to the table for McCain
He acts like he has the primary sewn up and in the bag

re: #85 chicagodudewhotrades

Off topic but interesting:


I just saw something on (cootie-infested) FNC about the bad spate of violence in my great city over the past weeks. Some Chicago cops will be getting armed with military M-4 carbines. I get a little freaked when I see beat cops with weapons like that, but apparently the police brass thinks this dramatic step is needed

This past week, every single news piece on the violence in Chicago has featured the mayor shreiking about "Big Evil Gun Companies" 2/3rds of the way through the copy. You'd almost think the news services are shills for his agenda.

Of course, they only mention that the shootings are gang-related at the very end, if at all.

Hey Mr. Mayor, I've got this crazy idea - why not try arresting gang members?

They hate Freedom
They hate the Military
They hate anyone who has a different opinion

According to ABC News, the problem is "gun violence". Violence committed by guns. People, of course, have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

This is spectacular! The only forum that has any credibility -Daily Kos- doesn't have Obama preaching on their site today. That's not counting the expensive ads his campaign places there. Poor babies! Now he has given in to the waaay far right Fox, tool of the evil republicans.
What a bunch of sissies. Now they're gonna take their ball with 'em and go home. HaHaHa

re: #90 Dave the.....

Yes, related....a week ago Friday, I had on a local "community radio" station.....basically an independent public radio station. Very very liberal, but they have good music programs on in the mornings and afternoons (then political crap in the evenings). KFAI for those of you in the Twin Cities. So anyway, last week was fundraising time, and the lady said "we have a wide diversity on here. It's not like Fox News where only one viewpoint is allowed".

The irony meter went nuts. FNC has many liberal commentators and guests. I have NEVER heard a conservative voice, not once, in the 7 years of listening to this radio station. Even their non-political music programing, which is what I generally listen to, has liberal hosts who like to share their hatred of Bush.

They speak Newspeak.

These are the people that Orwell warned us about.

I find it ironic that the political culture that flippantly throws around the term 'Nazi,' act like them the most. All of the signs and logical tactics are there.
