All of you make the very point I was trying to make. I DO NOT LIKE BUSH OR MCCAIN OR OBAMA, that was not the point of this. The point is that there is a double standard. If this were a republican, he would be trashed, but since it is a democrat, he gets a free pass from the press and all of you. Bush has made some idiotic quotes, I never denied that he did, nor was I trying to justify his with Obama's. I merely was pointing out the double standard here in america where one guy can do something dumb and get killed over it and another guy who is a liberal democrat can do something dumb and get a total pass on it. I have no bitterness, and either one of the idiots running in this election would and will continue to ruin this country, I was merely making a point about the way Obama speaks and yet no one in the media seems to care.

Alright, you didn't stop when you were clearly wrong. It's on.

You really think that there's some double standard in the media when it comes to Democrats? What about when Obama did something completely common (a pound or "terrorist fist jab") and got attacked for it by the media? I don't see too many people making fun of McCain's completely embarrassing mannerisms (two hand wave, for example), so what's with this horrible media double standard? Now it's pretty easy to see that I actually don't care about any of the things I'm talking about, but it demonstrates how easy it to imagine up some kind of double standard. During the second Obama vs. McCain debate, McCain said "My friends" what must have been at least 25-30 times. "Uh" is a common speech fragment used by billions of people worldwide, but how many people can claim to say "My friends" every other sentence? I didn't see widespread media coverage of McCain's catchphrase, but then again, I only watch the evil liberal media.

For the last 8 years, we've had a vomit-inducing conservative media that appealed straight to hatred. Just read one of Ann Coulter's books and tell me she doesn't deserve to be shoved into a third world country. How about when Howard Dean had his entire campaign ruined for his infamous shout (at the height of conservative popularity, no less)? People made fun of Bush because his "Bush-isms" were completely hilarious and off the mark. He should consider himself lucky that people stuck with "Bush-isms" and not "Immediate proof that this guy is retarded."
