A WHITE PERSON WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN..

I love the "bloopers"

[valambiguous]

Everyone knows that the media showed bias, during this election. Far different from Walter Cronkite, and the channel 5 news team, during my early days.

[Americanmanthefirst]

right on brother

[kasperthe44]

Bob, you are the man. but the media only wants a black man or woman to win if, and only if there is a "D" next to their name.

[1MSNARA]

I don't get it, do you mean, "D" or, "DD"

[kasperthe44]

"D" as in Democrat. But if a nice set of "DD's" were in the running, I could forgo party affiliation and be on a platform with her.

[Serafinos]

Bob Parks for President '08, '12,... Heck... FOREVER!

God bless you, Sir!

BTW--quit reading our minds, but thank you for putting our thoughts into such an intelligent, knowledgable and most of all TRUTHFUL manner.

WE LOVE YOU!

:D

[heatsketch]

democrats view less bias in the media because the bias is mostly in their favour, and they are too vapid to notice what's going on, perpetually in denial about those they choose to follow, while calling everyone else close minded.

[mikepalomino]

Another example of Conservative doublethink. You accuse Liberals of being elitist, yet you proclaim we're "too vapid" to see what your superior intellects allow you to see. How egalitarian of you!

[heatsketch]

The average person, the vast majority of people, are just regular people, while democrat or republican.

I'm talking about the far left wingnuts

[mikepalomino]

Sorry for the multiple replies. YouTube's comment posting system seems to be out of whack.

[mikepalomino]

Oh yeah, the media is SO biased in favor of Dems, that on 6/24 CNN ran as a MAJOR frontpage headline "Obama distorting the Bible" a relatively minor story (unless you're a Fundamentalist Christian) a full day after it was news.

[mikepalomino]

Can you imagine equal treatment for McCain? "McCain refuses to support the Troops" - HAH! That'll be the day!

But surely, your superior intellect already knew this! So then which is it? Are you distorting the truth or merely being

[heatsketch]

Actually I have seen that repeatedly. There were many people on CNN and all the other news channels ragging on mccain for that very reason. Why doesn't the media give obama a hard time for his numerous mistakes (such as the 57 state thing) when they wouldn't leave dan quayle alone for months because he misspelled potato withn an e? the media bias is so clear that I'm sorry, but if you don't see it, than yes, you have to be at least a fair bit blind

[mikepalomino]

The 57-state thing is a little overblown, don't you think? You and I both know that Obama knows how many states there are. That was obviously a gaff that which he didn't catch as he was attempting to answer the question at hand. That happens to the best of speakers.

[heatsketch]

that was just one example. there are many others. the guy isn't even an eloquent speaker when he isn't reading off a page or a prompter

[mikepalomino]

Heh, no argument there, but that's hardly a flaw. Did you see McCain's speech from Louisiana? He refuses to use a teleprompter and it shows.

But getting back on topic, the allegations of media bias (in this video and other sources) are inflated at best. You may scoff at such a notion, but in my estimation, any enthusiam of the press - real or perceived - is the result of the fact that these ARE historic times.

[heatsketch]

I agree that McCain isn't a good speaker, but no one claims he is. At least no one I have heard. I mean, c'mon, when your grandfather speaks, do the words flow like water?

[heatsketch]

and then they proceeded to have on 2 people who defended obama, and a christian who they made look crazy and who they were pretty patronizing towards

I agree that isn't news, and the christian right are retarded, but obama is the one bringing up religion so it's no surprise some people take issue with that. my keyboard is all fucked, typing random letters that i don't press (thnis is hnow it looks if i dont edit anyhtingb, random letters whnen i dont press tghne buttons)

ill be back on later

[mikepalomino]

No fair Heatsketch. You come out with your "vapid" comment and I put on my gloves for a good intellectual scrap, only for you to respond with decent, rational responses. :-b

[heatsketch]

You don't seem to be brain meltingly stupid like most people who comment on youtube. And you can spell.

Anyway: Since Nixon, there has been a liberal bias in the media; nothing big until 8 years ago, when that bias increased greatly (understandably what with bush in the office), but now it's even beyond that. Obama slides for things that would ruin any republican or even democrats like Hillary. The media isn't so much liberally biased as they are "Obama" biased. They treat him like Bono.

[lucanaoe]

I gotta ask, Bob Parks.

Was that you or the person who manages your youtube account rating らき☆すた(Lucky Star) videos?

If it's you, I'm going to shit bricks. Your interests are relevent to my own in ways I couldn't have imagine. :3

[LokiScoutSniper]

Great work Bob, I take it you normally hit the nail right on the head with the hammer. Is it true your running for the House of Representatives, if so good luck and let us know if you need support in anyway.

[mikepalomino]

It is also amusing to see how Conservatives throw out their guiding principles. How often have I heard them rail against Liberals as elitists! Yet here we have Obama, a man of humble beginnings and rose through the ranks. Now suddenly he's not good enough for Conservatives. Who are the Elitists now? Just goes to show you what happens when you point fingers.

[lucanaoe]

mikepalomino: "arguments so convincing that all but the most vigilant might think he's right"

All but the most vigilant? Wow, aren't you special & fancy.

mikepalomino: "Who are the Elitists now?"

Still you, apparently.

I don't think anyone has told you this, so: When you replace facts with contrary opininions it doesn't make your arguments legitimate or logical, or magically true. Rather the opposite.

[mikepalomino]

Lucanoe, you should practice what you preach. In claiming that I am the one who is the elitist, you are doing exactly what you accuse me of. Doing so doesn't not "magically" make me an elitist. Please elucidate as to how you came to your conclusion.

I have already given evidence that challenges (if not disproves) Bob Parks' theories on Obama getting a free pass from the media. Where is yours? I stand by my point, and you have again shown how Conservatives play three-card monty with the facts.

[lucanaoe]

Youre still a pretentious elitist.

Elucidate?

LOL were you voted in highschool "Boy Most Likely To Be Fancy"?

Everyone sees your hypocrisy and spin. Golly, even simple folk like us conservatives.

"I have already given evidence..."

Bullshit. You haven't given any evidence at all. You've given spin(what you foolishly consider "logic") and generalizations that have no factual basis, nor backing by any EVIDENCE. Im clearly dealing with a pathalogical liar.

I pity your mental illness.

[mikepalomino]

Let me get this straight. I use high school level English and that makes me an elitist? You still fail to counter my points and only offer up Ad Hominem (oops there I go again!) attacks in your reply.

Again, I repeat, McCain has been caught on Video numerous times backpedaling and contradicting himself, where is the media attention hounding him? Nowhere. Yet according to Bob Parks, he'd be "sunk" if he were given the same leeway as Obama. Clearly untrue, along with other points he makes.

[lucanaoe]

In ONE day:

mikepalomino's comments went from -6 & -6 to to +5 & +6

Mine went from three 0s to three -12s.

That's hilarious. Thanks for giving your elitist liberal friends this video. YOU PROVED, I BITCH SLAPPED YOUR EMPTY SPINNING. You PROVED, I made you cry yourself to sleep.

To be honest, I DIDNT EVEN TRY on that comment. You were SO easy. I'm surprised. Clearly I've under estimated myself. This is TOO funny.

Thank you for letting me know I absolutely HUMILIATED YOU. :-D

[mikepalomino]

Lucanoe, you'll no doubt call me a liar, but I didn't go "crying" to anyone. (Truth is, most of my friends are apolitical.)

Also, who pays attention to those thumbs up/down ratings? At least I don't, even when I was -6 & -6 as you point out.

[enghelaby]

No pumpkin, he is not an elitist; you are just simply a celebral handicap. All your fallacies stem from one parcel of prevarication: Fallacy of diversion. You can't follow a plain logical pattern, instead resorting to mindless quibbling. I don't know whether spewing array of non-sequiturs was meant to be trivia or seminal!

Take a hike -- go, go, and keep walking...

[lucanaoe]

The pretentiousness

The elitism

The lack of facts

The spin

The hypocrisy

The thesaurus

The lame end insult

Greatest Ever! Christmas and sunsets and the laughter of children can all go fuck themselves, that was amazing!

You & your buttsecks pal clearly proved every liberal idea is born of elitism & spin with a low IQ and a cleft palate. Good job... countering what I claimed by being exactly it. How did you learn to type? That's a miracle in itself. Seriously, excellent! Print screen.

[mikepalomino]

Lucanoe, judging from the progressively irrational nature of your replies, your refusal to refute my simplest point beyond calling "bullshit" - I don't see the point of continuing this conversation. You obviously have your beliefs, which - if I had to guess - are based on talking points on Fox News / Talk Radio. I was willing to listen, despite your invective. Instead you have only proven my point that right wingers don't argue with (inconvenient) facts, so much as with their passions.

[mikepalomino]

This video is great. Not for its truthiness, no. It is an excellent example of how Conservatives massage and cherry-pick information into arguments so convincing that all but the most vigilant might think he's right.

What if McCain made dubious claims? "He'd be sunk." Hey guess what? McCain has already made a NUMBER of hyperbolic and untrue statements. If the MSM is as biased as you claim, they'd be hammering him with it. That obviously hasn't happened. Oops so much for your theory!

[ciscokid998]

You're part of the 17% I take it. True, "most" politicians exaggerate truth or cleverly avoid it. What a shock. I can see how you've come to the opinion Republicans have become the elitist. They're picking on the liberal messiah. Obama comes from humble beginnings? He was born in Hawaii by parents attending the University of Hawaii. Only thing missing was the 3 wise men riding on surfboards. Obama's a "junior" senator and is now being properly vetted. Try to deal with it like an adult.

[mikepalomino]

Your suggestion that I fall in the 17 percent is a clever way of suggesting I am naive. You are no doubt convinced of the MSM's bias, thus you think me foolish. Think what you want. For the last eight years the media, with only a few exceptions, have given the Bush Administration and its cronies a free pass. And yet the MSM gets labelled as liberal. Pfft.

I saw plenty of coverage, enough to know that Obama was not handed the victory. He recieved just as many hardball questions as Hillary.

[mikepalomino]

And to levy my charge of "Elitism" once again, this belief that the MSM holds so much sway over the minds of voters is absurd, and demonstrates your collective contempt for the public. Obama did not win because he is Black, or because that is what the MSM wanted (he was thrown the same hardball questions that Hillary was given).

He won because he was the best candidate for the job -- regardless of experience. There ARE qualities besides experience that make one qualified for the job.

[ciscokid998]

Let's cut the B.S. Fact remains 68% think you're wrong. Fact is Obama's a junior senator who's handled tough question only to find it necessary to re-explain "uh, ah, what I really meant was". Fact is Obama needs to convince Americans he can be trusted. IMO Bob makes a good case why Obama made it this far. Fact is a very good case is being made against Obama, trusting him as president. Remember Hillary to General Patraeus-willful suspension of disbelief?-IMO Takes that to believe he's qualified

[twanablevins]

Amen! Spot on!

[TheCollegePolitico]

You are quite brilliant! I love your videos.
