Anyone still think Burns is apolitical? Anyone think his viewpoints don't color his films?

Well, no need for elections now, the great Ken Burns has spoken. Smiley can start measuring for the drapes.

Yes, but who will get the great Rosie O’Donnell and Michael Moore endorsements? Too bad the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Ronald McDonald or the Burger King aren’t running for office...

What makes this nitwit think Obama is a “leader?”

Could he name ONE time Obama has ever demonstrated leadership in any shape or form?

He’s a completely blank slate upon which many are projecting their dreams - without a shred of evidence.

Anyone know how much money Burns was paid for his War documentary? However much it was, I’m SHOCKED that PBS didn’t fund a conservative film maker to produce a WWII film!

Burns works independently and brings his projects to PBS not the other way around. Whatever his politics his films are very informative and artful. It’s just watched Thomas Jefferson the other day and its very moving.

I would totally vote for the Burger King.

I don't like Ronald McDonald's liberal agenda.

Also, Andrea Mitchell. She doesn’t even think that Chris Matthews is a “liberal thinker”.

But you’re OK with the Burger King’s Monarchist tendencies and the Hamburglar in a Kleptocratic Cabinet???

I suppose, but I don’t think his films are meant to merely paint pictures of truth. I don’t mean that his films are of no worth, but they do have an agenda and a viewpoint.

I’m not surprised that white liberals living in affluent white rural New Hampshire towns support the liberal black candidate. I remember the same thing happening among libs I knew when Jesse Jackson ran for Prez in 1988.

New Hampshire demographics, 2005 (NH is first value, USA is second value):

White persons 96.1% 80.2%
Black persons 1.0% 12.8%
American Indian and Alaska Native 0.2% 1.0%
Asian persons, percent, 2005 (a) 1.7% 4.3%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 0.0% 0.2%
Persons reporting two or more races 1.0% 1.5%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin) 2.2% 14.4%
White persons not Hispanic 94.1% 66.9%
