And, hell, let's face it, if the world and this nation was run by gangsters — maybe it is." —David Chase, creator of "The Sopranos," accepting the Emmy for drama series.

Most Americans want their democracy to be on a fair, balanced, and level playing
field. At tonight’s Emmy awards we got to see another example of extreme bias coming out of Hollywood, by
bullies who dominate the media. The Emmys presented a continuous barrage of ONE SIDED attacks against
John McCain and Sarah Palin. The Lefty’s are always crying about a Republican misuse of power … while they
DOMINATE a free press, to bully and gang up on Sarah Palin. They slant the news, with no concern
for journalistic integrity, or objectivity. And since they monopolize the media, they deprive
McCain and Palin a platform from which to defend themselves and respond to their attacks.
There’s a reason the Presidential election is so close … It’s because HALF of America is for McCain and Palin …
NOT Obama and Biden … a fact which these self important snobs choose to ignore, while casting their vile disdain
on he other half of America. Perhaps the 60,000 people who greeted Governor Palin in Florida will remind
these pompous celebrities that there’s another America outside of Hollywood … An America made up of common folks who
built this great country. Even their fancy gowns, make-up, and professional lighting couldn’t keep their lack of class and
lack of character from making these celebrities look small and unattractive tonight.
Regardless of who you plan to vote for - it’s a disgrace for McCain to be treated by the left/media the way they do - because they disagree with his plan/philosphy/difference in opinion - that is one thing and can and should be discussed rationally.
No presidential nominee that has served his country for his entire life, was a prisoner of war and endured torture that none of us can comprehend all in the name of duty and honor to his country should ever be treated in this manner. Maybe we should all just break into a good laugh that he can’t type or raise his arms (due to war injuries)or refer to him as a “prune” on a TV awards show. Hard to believe that this is where we’re at as a society.
Anyone who runs for office should welcome questions and expect political satire. That’s just the way the system works.
The media is owned primarily by Republicans. Check it out.
