Creators Syndicate - Just like Bill Maher, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is discovering that atheist ridicule of Jesus Christ and Christianity draws nothing but yawns from today's media elite. If you want an angry media mob, you need merely spit out "Barack Hussein Obama" at a McCain rally and watch the Guardians of Social Taste bring out the torches and pitchforks. But mocking Jesus? Ho hum.
Creators Syndicate - It seems like only yesterday when Enron and Worldcom collapsed. Throughout these ordeals our national media labored long and hard to paint Worldcom's Bernie Ebbers as the face of Capitalism Corrupted while connecting the dots between President Bush and Enron's "Kenny Boy" Lay, in the effort to demonstrate that corruption in action.
Creators Syndicate - Here's an extremely obvious test of how secular our entertainment culture has become:
Creators Syndicate - Ever since liberal media types felt robbed by the Bush-Quayle campaign's "lies" about Michael Dukakis in 1988, we've been suffering through the media elite's attempts to "police" the facts in advertisements. "Correction" squads are insisting that John McCain can't say Barack Obama will raise taxes, no matter how much that announcing Democrats will raise taxes is like announcing the sun will rise.
Creators Syndicate - The temperature has cooled, the leaves are turning colors, and the new fall television season has begun.
Creators Syndicate - For two decades, going back to the Willie Horton ads of 1999, we've heard liberals accuse Republicans of race-baiting. Throughout this campaign, there have been endless whispers, suggestions and outright accusations that GOP could/would play the race card because Obama is half-black. Now Barack Obama has found his bizarre version of Willie Horton, and it's Rush Limbaugh.
Creators Syndicate - As part of the microscopic scrutiny applied to Sarah Palin's record, the public has been told that as the incoming mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, in 1996, Palin dared to ask the town librarian what would happen if anyone objected to an inappropriate book. She merely inquired, but "anti-censorship" activists, perpetually filled with visions of a trash can full of burning books, exploded.
Creators Syndicate - The McCain campaign went looking for a major anchor to be awarded the blessing and the curse of the first Sarah Palin interview — a blessing for ratings and a curse from all the competitors who would accuse the winners of being soft on Republicans.
