The banality of it all

[starmanskye]

11 months later, and Obama's 'change' is seen for the BS marketting hype is was, another face for the global cartel to sell their policies of perpetual war, faux-democratic 'legitimacy', the biggest bank-theft in world history, mass-media hyped threats, political division & stalemate, financial recklessness, ie. politics-as-usual betraying its citizens and leading us to inevitable global conflict.

If Pepe is so smart, how come he doesnt see through Obama's baloney? McCain and Obama have similar voting records and similar policies on foreign and domestic issues. There is very little daylight between them. The idea that Obama offers any more "change" than McCain is just marketing and not supported by any objective analysis. Almost any third party candidate is a better choice. They are not controlled by corporate America which pulls all the strings.

I say palin won the debate lol

[lighthammar]

"geo-political field, real or manufactored"-nice

yup, McCain will win, cause the voting machines are still from the same manufactorers that rigged the last election.

However; exiting the war may want to be blamed on the democrats.........role the dice

[unab84]

thank you for existing...

[studio7manga]

I think Pepe and Paul were just as flabbergasted as I was (and millions more) about the debate.

[longhairred]

Oh my, Pepe Escobar is way beyond 'pretty bright' - read some his stuff on Asia Times; look back over his 7-8 years of articles. He is brilliant!

[sunamori6765]

@longhairred:

Agree, i checked AsiatimesDOTcom too.

One of his books; "Globalistan: How the Globalized World is Dissolving Into Liquid War" at AmazonDOTcom, has many 5 stars ratings in the comments.

Mr. Escobar has an impressive professional experience. Great to see him here on RNN.

[robbe21]

You can do without this guy Escobar and his snappy, arrogant opinions. He contribute with little real substance. Also, he keeps interrupting Paul. Otherwise - great job.

[AMattDavidFilm]

Pepe's pretty bright actually, check out his video's on Middle Eastern politics.

[euclidxxx]

I have to say I completely disagree. From what I've seen, Escobar is extremely intelligent, well-informed and often brilliant. See, for instance, his commentary on 'Cash for Trash and the Multi-Polar World'.

[robbe21]

Ok guys, I'll give him another chance...

[bodidarma505]

finally,someone other than me has mentioned the pre-spinning!

[dogstar7]

Palin benefited from what G.W.Bush called "the soft bigotry of low expectations".

The mere fact that she didn't spontaneously burst in flames or forget where she was and bite the head off a chicken and was able to walk off the stage under her own power seems to count as a "win" for GOP sycophants.

[PoliticalOverload]

Is it me or is the real news becoming just another sensationalist news organization?

[dogstar7]

It's you.

[robbe21]

Not really, but they sometimes slide in that direction.

[studio7manga]

I second dogstar7's sentiment. Although I'll give you a thumbs up because it was probably an honest question and I don't agree with censorship.

[prisha91755]

How can we have a vice-president that has no real interest or knowledge of politic?

[BlackAzzRobb]

america WAKE THE F**K UP!!!!!!!!! You can't take McCain & Seria Seriously. WAKE UP!

[chopin65]

Pepe, don't forget election fraud. I emailed real news about the voting machine issue and was never answered. It's a real problem, and I think The Real News is ignoring it.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Yeah a Folksy Hooker goes to Washington - like we need more political hookers. NOT! lol

But she looked pretty, I suppose that is all the idiots in the US that are pro lying, pro corruption, pro kickbacks would vote. lol
