If these supposed liberals are so wrong, set the record straight.
Are you saying Dowd is a conservative?

Or maybe it's just hard to figure out what the hell you're saying?

Dowd!? Gramps, you're scaring me. You've just managed to lower yourself to the level of VWPeach with her Krugman atricle. You need to start posting unbiased reports if you're going to go the cut & paste route, otherwise you're little more than a mouthpiece for the left. I'm sure an undecided voter like yourself can understand that.

Did I say Dowd is a conservative? No. I used well-known conservative columnists as an example that The McCain campaign shouts "LIBERAL MEDIA!" no matter who asks questions or raises doubts about them, rather than actually addressing the content of the article. Maybe that's why they're 11 points behind in the Gallup Poll. Maybe that's why consistently undecided voters say Obama cares more about "people like me." If McCain addressed the attacks instead of just attacking the writers, people may have more of a certain feeling about where he stands.

Who the fuck are you to tell me what I need to do?

I post all sorts of stuff to start discussions...doesn't mean that I agree or disagree necessarily one way or another.

People around here attack me all the time, not for what I say but for what they wish to believe about what I say and/or articles I post...do you really think I am worried about scaring you?

If McCain were winning he wouldn't stoop to the sleaze. Let's hope the American voter is smarter this time, one buffoon for eight years was too much.

As I pointed out, from your post it's virtually impossible to figure out what you're trying to say.

What I'm trying to say is that every time anybody in any media outlet has challenged the Palin decision or anything else related to the McCain campaign, McCain tries to paint them as just another member of the liberal media and as a result not trustworthy and not to be believed. He has chosen that tactic instead of taking on the articles face-to-face and setting the record straight. If I write in an op-ed in the NYT tomorrow that you raped and murdered a woman in 1993, you aren't going to fire back with "well it's in the New York Times, so we know what that means." you would come out and say that I was a liar. If McCain wants to salvage any credibility after these tough articles, he needs to come out and debunk them instead of attacking the writers as lefties.
