There's one good reason Gwen Ifill, the host of the PBS show Washington Week, is moderating the vice-presidential debate: she has a forthcoming book about Barack Obama (and other black Democrats) called The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.
Ifill presents Obama and the others as the idealistic successors of Martin Luther King: "This book is about a generation of people who took seriously the achievements that their parents fought for. They knew that Martin Luther King did what he did so they can do what they’re doing, and they decided to follow through."

That is the whole point, it isn’t that at this late date we can remove her. However, thousands of emails puts her on guard that her bias has been exposed and we are watching...the first sign of bias means a huge conservative backlash on PBS, and DEMS..get it. This is conservative activism at work.
I just saw an interview with McCain about it. McCain cannot say anything because he would be called a racist. That’s why we do it, and that puts PBS, FOXNEWS, and Gwen Ifill that we are aware of the bias, and if we see it in the debate there will be a HUGE BACKLASH from the conservative side. McCain said he knew she would be professional and act appropriately, so if she doesn’t he can attack that immediately....this is what we must do.
I’m already getting emails from those I forwarded my BCC’s to, and they have sent their emails already,,,,so look for the moderater to be the one under PRESSURE NOW. That’s what we want, if we can’t remove her, is to take the pressure Obama and IFILL and dems wanted to put on PALIN, and let it hang over IFILL’S HEAD AS WE WATCH TO SEE IF SHE ACTS INAPPROPRIATELY... CONSERVATIVE ACTIVISM IS THE ONLY COUNTEBALANCE TO THE LEFT.

Fox News is reporting on her bias, and book, which let’s Gwen Ifill know we are watching and not happy about her.

Excellent point——now it is GWEN who has to sweat. Perhaps she should do the professional thing and recuse herself.
Is that a pillow for one or two? That’s s dumb question with a good spin, as the best pillow would be for one. Ged’it?
