Combating anti-liberal bias

It appears that NewsBusters.Org is responsible for hijacking In This Corner as displayed at landolinkin.us. I switched over to Blogspot hosting, but that didn't fix it -- a thorough decoding of the page source was necessary.

Whoever hijacked this blog was able to get at the template, which means my so no matter what new items were posted, the NewsBusters.Org link was always at the top, with nothing new.

NewsBusters vows to "expose and combat liberal media bias." I guess NewsBusters thinks I'm liberal, but I'm independent who happens to support Obama. I'm opposed to right-wing apologists and extremists (liars) like Limbaugh and -- name your own.

I think McCain is the best possible candidate the Republican Party can field. The right running mate is crucial for electability. I still think Obama should select Gen. Wesley Clark, who would be freer to criticize "war hero" McCain and bolster BHO's commander-in-chief creds.

Can you imagine Hillary Commander-in-Chief!? If she gets the nomination, I'll pull an Ann Coulter and work for McCain, as Ann is working for Hillary.

Barack prays to Jesus

Smeared O Has 'CROSS' WORDS: Last week, Barack Obama

"lashed out at political enemies who are spreading false rumors that he's a closet Muslim as he proclaimed, 'I pray to Jesus every night.'

'I am a devout Christian,' he told voters in this key state.

'I pray to Jesus every night and try to go to church as much as I can.'

In some of his strongest comments to date, Obama, in response to a question about his religious beliefs, said he wanted to put an end to 'so much confusion [that has been] deliberately perpetrated.'" - New York Post

Evil sacrifice?

A blog called The Undercurrent Uncle Sam Wants You to Sacrifice has a negative critique of Michelle Obama's statements about eschewing corporate America and choosing the social work. Something a blogger named Ergo picks up on in "The Evil Obama's" (with an apostrophe after the final 'a' indicating possession: "Obama's" Obama's what?

Evil? Willful ignorance is a sin, ergo, "Ergo" is evil for perpetrating ignorance.

Canada backs up Obama on NAFTA

Canada defends Obama over NAFTA flap:

"Canada defended Democratic front-runner Barack Obama Monday over accusations from rival Hillary Clinton that he is secretly at ease with a hemispheric trade accord which he publicly blames for losing U.S. jobs.

Clinton's criticism, on the eve of make-or-break presidential nomination contests for her in Ohio and Texas, stemmed from a report by Canadian television station CTV that an Obama economic adviser told Canadian officials the candidate was not seriously considering disrupting the trade accord.

But the Canadian Embassy in Washington released a statement essentially backing up the Obama camp's version of the meeting between adviser Austan Goolsbee and officials at the Canadian consulate in Chicago." - Forbes.com

Barack's middle name

Referring to right-wing wing-job Bill Cunningham (and others) attempt to smear Barack Obama by repeatedly including his Arabic middle name when referring to him -- at a recent McCain rally in Cleveland -- a Pundit writes in Los Angeles Times : The name game and Obama:

"His name is unusual in the annals of prospective presidents -- Van Buren, Roosevelt and Eisenhower are about as exotic as it gets for White House occupants to date.

So if Obama succeeds in nailing down the Democratic presidential nomination, be prepared for more attempts -- some subtle, some not so -- to tap into simple, blatant prejudices to attempt to derail him. And the test as to whether America has progressed as far as many hope it has also would seem to be fairly simple -- the degree to which these efforts succeed."

The name Hussein - means handsome. And Obama should be proud to be named Hussein. I read it in Salon.
