Is anyone else nervous about the power that the Obama campaign has at their disposal even before Lord Barrack is elected?
I am refering to this:
Within 24 hours of the Palin VP announcement, a team of lawyers and PI's went to Alaska to try to dig up dirt on her and destroy her credibility. When they found nothing, they, with the assistance of the media, made up stories and presented them as facts.
One could obviously argue, she entered the political scene on her own and this should not be a suprise.
Okay then, what about Joe the Plumber? He was out in his yard playing catch with his son when Obama came down his street. He listened to the soft questions that Obama was used to getting and then went and asked a serious question.
Barack was obviously not expecting somebody to quesiton him because in less than two days, government agencies and resources were used to investigate, and discredate Joe. He is a private citizen who questioned Lord Obama.
It is not the governement's job to investigate and destroy those that do not agree with it. It is supposed to be protecting those that cannot protect themselves.
Obviously the media was an accomplice in all of this as they were doing their best to take the focus off of Obama's answer and put it towards destroying the life of a private citizen.
I see this as a step in a bad direction.
Example number three is a reporter named Barbara West who interviewed Joe Biden and asked him some very tough questions. Biden thought it was a joke because they weren't the usual questions he was used to from his friends in the media. Obviously a rogue reporter.
