Has John Young been listening to Sean Hannity? I guess that makes John Young a right-winged Nazi.

Obama announcing his candidacy from Ayers’ living room shows that they were more than just “aquaintances”, as Obama would have us beleive. Something as important as the announcement of your candidacy for public office, you would choose your location carefully, much like, say, the location of your wedding. He chose Ayers living room, and did it for a reason. He intended to send a message. Message received.

Some of us find Obama’s connections with George Soros, Teddy Kennedy, the Joyce Foundation, the Brady Campaign,and the far left in general to be disturbing. Apparently half or more of the voting public approves of these connections and his plans on, 1.Universal Health Care -funded by tax increases. 2. Univesal Selective Service registration regardless of gender. Democrats and Communitarians frequently come out in support of involuntary national servitude and general subservience to an all encompassing goverment, 3. Gun control/confiscation, 4. Weakening of the military and deferring national interests to foreign powers. 5. Full media support for the democratic agenda. (except for the evil counter-revolutionary Fox News)

There have been times when things like that were a political deal-killer. At one time, the draft was quite unpopular generally and particularly among the pudgy left. It’s likely to be back if the country feels threatened by the foreign elements that will take advantage of the democrats disinterest in defending the country.

Poor John is jealous of Hannity’s success as are most liberal media “professionals”. They try to have success in radio and fail miserably. They have taken over the cable and broadcast news channels and ratings have dropped through the floor. How many watched Katie Couric last night or the night before? My suggestion to the liberal media and for that matter all media is to simply present facts not opinion. If a natural disaster occurrs or a murder or whatever tell your audience what happened not what you think the cause of it was, or what may have happened, etc.. Present the facts and nothing else i.e. report the news.

Ok so Young is trying to equate a talk show hosts guest selection with a U.S. Presidential candidates selection of “friends”, “associates”, or whatever you want to call them. What’s the difference you may ask? The difference is one is a talk show host and the other is running for the most important office in the world. Who cares if a talk show host is an anti-semite, communist, liberal, conservative, pro this, pro that, whatever. Everyone should care if a presidential candidate has questionable ties to anti-American ideals. This editorial is purely leftist delusional jargon. Why not bring up the “reporters” that have interviewed serial killers, communist leaders, and dictators?

..”running for the most important office in the world…” Not really. Not any more. He’s running for undertaker. The hole is already dug. Obama would bury the body while McCain might keep it anove ground for a while

Another excellent op ed, Mr. Young. It is frightening how many people actually BELIEVE what they hear on some of these talk shows. I finally subscribed to satellite radio because the AM stations seem locked into the Roger Ailes conglomerate. It’s refreshing to have a CHOICE of ideas and thoughts in depth on NPR, BBC, CBC, and others without the repetitive rants of Hannity, Rush, O’Reilly, etc.

When I listen to “news analysts”, I want them to SAY something instead of repeating the same old rant and talking points over and over and over.

America is getting confused with overcoming and overthrowing. Mr Obama will be hard to get out of office when we find the key to open Al Gore’s “LOCK BOX”.If I were applying for a management position and listed BAYLOR as my higher education but would not let you verify this, I can assure you that I would not even be considered for the position. The famous comedian,Ron White, said it best, “You can’t fix stupid”.
