The Gwen Ifill Scandal and the Obama Democrats Pattern of Contempt
Radarsite ^ | 1 October 2008 | Roger W. Gardner

Posted on 10/01/2008 10:32:02 PM PDT by Roger W. Gardner

Does anyone else notice what's going on in our nation right now? Has anyone else out there reached the same troubling conclusions that I have? This VP debate moderator bias scandal -- and it most certainly should be called a scandal -- is just the latest example of the Democratic Party's ability to ride roughshod over the rights of the American people. Here is the typical scenario: The Democrats perpetrate some outrageous affront to common decency and fair play, the Republicans howl in indignant but ultimately impotent outrage and disbelief, and nothing happens. The Obama train moves on to the next station, not even noticeably delayed in its journey to the White House. How many stories have been written expressing this helpless dismay? How many writers have pointed out how this unquestionably biased moderator scandal could never have happened if it were an avid McCain supporter at the center of this controversy? And the point is made and it makes perfect sense and everyone agrees and Gwen Ifill is still going to be the moderator. We the American people are virtually powerless in the Democrats eyes. They hold us and our impotent rage in contempt.

We have been sidelined. Our opinions no longer matter. All of our righteous anger, all of that conservative outrage is nothing but a fart in a snowstorm. The Democratic left is running this show and you'd better not forget it. No outrage, no matter how significant, no Reverend Wright scandal, no hate-America rhetoric from his angry hate-America wife, no William Ayers terrorist connections, no proven Rezco affiliations, no cynical and devious manipulation of our military's withdrawal schedule by Obama in Iraq make one damn bit of difference. The Obama train keeps rolling. And all of those Americans who look to the Obama future of America with dread, all of those Americans who fear an internationalist, socialistic, anti-white, anti-Western Administration have been effectively marginalized. No relevant government agency will respond to your complaints. No media will voice your outrage. Your concerns have been dismissed. The word is out: No scandal, no crime, no discovery, no matter how significant will be allowed to delay the inevitable course of the fateful Obama train.

We have been warned to keep silent. Our own Justice Department has warned us to watch our mouths. Obama is partially black and this must not, this will not, be mentioned. That questionable VP Debate Moderator, that obviously compromised Gwen Ifill is black, and has written extensively and glowingly about the rise of black politicians, and specifically, and rapturously, about Barack Hussein Obama. But this must not, this will not, be mentioned.

We have been warned to keep silent. All or almost all of the terrorist attacks against this nation have been perpetrated by Muslim jihadists. But our own State Department has forbidden its employees to use the word "jihadists", or to even associate terrorism and Islam in the same context.

And, most ironically of all, if anyone presumes to write about this virtual Democratic coup, they will be called a liberal propagandist or a weak-kneed defeatist by some members of their own party.

Now, my friends, I ask you once again -- Does anyone else notice what's going on in our nation right now? Has anyone else out there reached the same troubling conclusions that I have?

There is only one solution - to get the vote out and make sure Obama is trounced!

One of the talking heads on TV tonight said that this could work in Sarah’s favor.

That all eyes are on Ifill and if she so much as even thinks about dissing Palin, it will be evidence enough that she is biased. And the reaction from that would be sympathy for Sarah for dealing with a hostile moderator and voila - she wins the debate.

We may be able to defeat Obama this time but the Ivy League colleges that Obama got his Marxist education from are busily turning out thousands of Obama's yearly.

Do you really think America stands a chance?

At least some of us will still be able to remember freedom and liberty.

I notice, and I’m fighting the war. Here’s my email response to PBS’ “Ombudsman to Editorial Integrity” about the latest Obamination:

“I am absolutely outraged that Glen Ifill is going to be the moderator for the Palin/Biden debate! She has a direct actual conflict of interest in how the election is decided! I am aware that she will make up to $350,000 or more based upon the number of books she sells about Obama. How in the world could you allow her to go forward as the moderator?!!!

As an attorney, I would be severely sanctioned if I had this much of a conflict, yet you have done nothing to stop this. The results of a Presidential election could rest on how she handles this debate. How dare you allow her to continue!!!

I demand that you immediately replace her with Jim Lehrer or some other objective even handed moderator, who can perform with honesty, integrity, and above all, no personal stake in the outcome!

If you do not replace Ifill, I can guarantee you I will never ever contribute donations to PBS again, and I will make sure everybody knows what you did to sway this election in Obama’s favor.

If you don’t believe it, just try me!”

Great post—very much how I see things but couldn’t articulate as well as you. I see the same thing happening with Obama and his citizenship. I believe it could be shown that Obama is not a citizen, but the left would have their way and he would be allowed the Presidency any way. I see it happening with the voter fraud. I don’t think there is any law that they cannot break and our justice system doesn’t bat an eye. We scream all day long, but nothing will be done.

Actually, yes I do. Generations change. The anti-Vietnam war, anti-establishment, hippy generation is on the way out. No matter what they do, younger people will start thinking in their own way, not slavishly follow their choirsheet.

Unfortunately, the hippies are still running things. It’s going to be another decade or more before they start retiring from office.

I think a lot of us have reached the same conclusions you have and we feel just as powerless as you do. In our government, at least at this moment, the DemocRATS set the tune and we dance to it. Our own Republican leaders seem weak and powerless. They see the problem but remain silent. Republicans don't want to rock the Congressional boat lest it tip over and drown them along with the DemocRATS. I guess its up to WE THE PEOPLE to fight this evil and bring about change

Wow. Beautiful. Good for you. I have written both about and to PBS, but this letter of yours is outstanding.

The main thing is to keep Obama out NOW. He is probably the apex of the movement. He is, without doubt, the most extreme candidate ever nominated. Certainly the first candidate who is actually anti-American. The pendulum always goes too far either way before correcting. Its been mentioned in several threads that the (traitorous) media is holding any amount of dirt on Obama, which would eventually come out whether or not he wins. If he can be kept out, the subsequent revelations could cause a major popular revulsion which would tar the whole party.

Thank you. Don’t tell them that I never really contributed to them before and never intend to in the future. :-)

Ifill is just a symptom of the problem. There is no doubt she’s a Commie, a Black Muslim and an anti-American Traitor. But those are the kind of people who dominate the MSM. And it’s not only the MSM they dominate, it’s education, government and business in America, Europe and the World.

Look at world governments, almost all of them are Socialistic. When America falls, the world will fall into a Communist-Muslim decline and Western Civilization, Christianity and Judaism will be finished. It will be a new Dark Age. The last one lasted for a thousand years. How long will this one last?

Well, a lot of the problem is that Bush provides Conservatives with very, very little leadership.....near none currently.

'If you do not replace Ifill, I can guarantee you I will never ever contribute donations to PBS again, and I will make sure everybody knows what you did to sway this election in Obama’s favor. If you don’t believe it, just try me!”'

I find it extremely ironic that while the American Taxpayers are forced to bankroll this corrupt Media Organization, they still have the audacity to ask for donations...

Maybe that's the reason PBS has never received any type of donations from me, among other things, like this Hatchet Job in the making.

Obama is getting thousands and thousands of college kids signed up to vote. It’s getting frightening.

IF America falls..... I don't believe we will fall - AFAIC, this is only the first of many American Centuries.
