your singleminded determination to slam obama has caused you to completely overlook or ignore the most remarkable--and newsworthy--aspect of this specific issue. when did rupert murdoch's network draw attention to the shill "correspondents" given access to bush whitehouse press conferences? when did fox refuse to air events from which other news media were excluded or broadcast bush's "town hall" meetings with groups consisting solely of loyal partisans? for that matter, i

should addison graves wilson (that would be good ol joe btw) have apologized to the late senator thurmond's illegitmate black daughter--as he would eventually do--after publicly calling her a liar when she revealed to the world that her famously racist father was a lying hypocrite at least as regards race mixing. i'd be much less interested in an apology for his most recent outrage than in whether he'd have even considered showing such disrespect to a white president.
[quote]Perhaps people with your kind of mindset simply shouldn't consider such proposals.[/quote] an equally plausible possibility is this: anyone who has any awareness of how horribly the native peoples of africa--might as well toss in the americas as well--were exploited at the hands of european imperialistic colonialism simply shouldn't propose such ridiculously outrageous "solutions" to the obvious consequences of such past outrages.
