Even though there is now certain documentation that Obama is a socialist still the media is afraid to report what it knows 100% for sure is the truth. They now have documentation that Obama was a sworn member of the New Party, which is the American wing of the socialist party. This party is more socialist in the style of Russia than Europe. Yet even in this I’m sure if the media reports it they will still behave as though it is the milder version of the Europeans.
This is the sort of thing I would have expected to have plastered all over the news but by the very virtue that they are hardly mentioning it they are saying it’s not very important. This will of course make it harder to report on later as well. There is little doubt if they sit on this for 3 months everyone will say it must not have been very important if you didn’t report on it before this even when you had the information. I can hardly help but think this isn’t by design. Even Fox News has been reluctant to mention the “S”-Word! They love doing that. They are ever afraid to call things what they are. They won’t even use the full word much less actually call someone something even when it’s clear they are.
People who just listened to what he said about redistributing wealth and the like should have known he was a communist or socialist, but all he had to do is ask in a condescending and challenging way, “Are you calling me a communist!” and maybe add that it was silly, or offensive and people just left him alone. This is similar to what he did today when asked about the possibility of White House leaks about very secure data.
If you ask me this seems to be his “tell”. Whenever he gets caught in something he uses this method of challenge knowing that most will back down even if they had enough proof to make it stand in court, which they don’t actually need.
It would seem whenever Obama tries to put someone on the defensive by putting words in their mouth they were about to speak or just spoke and saying it with ridicule in his tone people back off. This has been a very effective method of dealing with people who would pursue issues they might otherwise continue with. He was very effective with this method where his birth certificate was concerned, but still he has made sure that no one can see the original and yet still no one asks why that is if he’s already shown us a copy of the original on his website! Why doesn’t anyone ask then why not release the original?!
This only goes to show just how easily the media is intimidated into no asking the hard questions they ought to be asking. It is clear that the media doesn’t need to feel intimidated by the government in this nation, at least at this point. They still have at least enough freedom to broadcast that they’re being harassed by the government with specifics if anything should start happening and that’s certainly more than the rest of us can do.
It is time the media started doing its job, though somehow I don’t think that’s likely. Even Fox News is afraid to pursue some very important questions that ought to be pursued until we get some real answers about this president.
Never is a country in more danger than when the media is teamed up with the government to support whatever they may want to do. In too many cases over the last few years we’ve seen the media covering up things they knew and even worse running interference and helping put spin on various aspects of this president’s administration.
When the president says things like he did in the news conference today, “The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive — it’s wrong,” it speaks volumes and usually those volumes tend to be that the president is covering up what he knows is going on.
All he has to do is sound angry, and annoyed that anyone would question him and the wimpified media backs right off and stops asking questions. They take their cues from the president about what they should and should not ask him and what they should pursue and what they should let go.
I still can’t help but wonder what would have happened with Watergate if they had been like that with Nixon. Of course I’m quite aware that in today’s society that lacks so many of the ethics of earlier generations as well as any real historic knowledge of what’s gone before them, that many of these people don’t even know why Watergate was so important.
I have little doubt that the story of Obama’s membership in a socialist organization will be lost on every network including Fox News. These organizations are rapidly proving themselves useless as any serious source of real information. They are rapidly being relegated to the gossip zone and reality TV, but little else.
