Amazing, a leftist paper endorses the leftist candidate.
a negative post from the rightwingnuts.
A leftist papaer?That must be a neocon view.
From wikipedia:
Chris Matthews said on his television program, 'Well, The Washington Post is not the liberal newspaper it was, Congressman, let me tell you. I have been reading it for years and it is a neocon newspaper'.[15] In November 2007, the Washington Post was criticized by independent journalist Robert Parry for reporting on anti-Obama chain e-mails without sufficiently emphasizing to its readers the false nature of the anonymous claims.[16] It has regularly published an ideological mixture of op-ed columnists, some of them center-left (including E.J. Dionne and Richard Cohen) and some center-right (including George Will, Michael Gerson, and Charles Krauthammer
'Chris Matthews said on his television program, '
LOL!!!! Chris Matthews is one of the most leftist commentators that befowl the airwaves! He has stated that whenever he hears Obama speak he gets a 'thrill up his leg'.
The media has been in the tank for Obama and Chris Matthews has been one of the most sycophantic obama shills out there. The fact that you would cite him as some kind of arbiter of objectivity is further evidence that you are completely out of touch. He actually got pulled off debate commentary because he was so biased.
The fact that he would acknowledge that it ever was a liberal paper tells you how far left it is. They have a regular commentator (William Arkin) who has stated that the troops were lucky that no one was spitting on them in airports.
MSNBC, hit by charges of liberal bias, yanks Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from anchor chairs
NBC correspondent David Gregory will be the only anchor for the cable network's coverage of the presidential debates and of election night, according to this story from The New York Times. Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann (above) -- the pro-Obama, anti-Bush anchors who have given MSNBC its identity in this election cycle as the left's antidote to Fox News -- will remain as 'analysts.
...The latest Gallup tracking poll reveals that there are nearly twice as many undecided voters this year than there were in the last presidential election. The Investor's Business Daily/TIPP poll (which was closest to the mark in predicting the 2004 outcome -- 0.4% off the actual result) now says this is a three-point race.

This week also brought a reminder that Sen. Obama hasn't closed the sale. The Washington Post/ABC poll found 45% of voters still don't think he's qualified to be president, about the same number who doubted his qualifications in March.
This is seven points more than George W. Bush's highest reading in 2000 and the worst since Michael Dukakis's 56% unqualified rating in 1988. It explains why Mr. Obama has ignored Democratic giddiness and done two things to keep victory from slipping away.
First, he is using his money to try to keep John McCain from gaining traction. The Obama campaign raised $67 million in September and may be on track to raise $100 million in October. Sen. McCain opted last month for roughly $85 million in public financing, giving him less than half of Mr. Obama's funds for the campaign's final two months. Even with robust Republican National Committee fund raising to augment his spending, Mr. McCain is at a severe financial disadvantage.
So Mr. Obama is spending $35 million on TV this week versus the McCain/RNC total of $17 million. Mr. Obama is outspending Mr. McCain on TV in Virginia by a ratio of 4 to 1, in Florida by 3 to 1, and in Missouri and Nevada by better than 2 to 1. The disparity is likely to grow in the campaign's final weeks.
Money alone, however, won't decide the contest. John Kerry and the Democrats outspent Mr. Bush and the GOP in 2004 by $121 million and still lost. [...]

Then shut up.
Not until ther smear campaign is over,the way things are going is ac disgrace for democracy and a danger for the rest of the world,so indulge me a little bit more.
During the debate Obama complained about the lies made by McCain concerning his so called ties to Ayers .One was hoping that the explanation given by Obama would end the discussion,unfortunately it didn't .The only conclusion left is that McCain,himself,uses methods that are a disgrace to the voter's intelligence

From the article and the numerous phone calls it is now clear these lies ,which huirt the very nature of democracy itself,will not stop.
Obama's association with Mr. Ayersis undeniable and to think he was unaware of Mr. Ayers past is laughable. Try telling me a US Senatorial candidate did not have an aide or assistant inform him, or he did not learn who and what thisman is and was, and we will laugh in your faces.
Karl Rove is not repsonsible for any of this, and the libnazi press has gagged all inquiry. If they focused on Mr. Ayers like they do Joe the Plumber, what else would they find?
Add to this, hiss association with Tony 'the knife' Rezko, his cozy ties to big coal, and he truely is, what Ralph Nader called him, the dems 'corporate candidate'.
Why are the Republicans getting so riled up and angry? Following in Mac's footsteps maybe. If Obama isn't the right man, it sure the hell wouldn't be Mcduffy! Shall we start a write-in candidate?

“Not until ther smear campaign is over,the way things are going is ac disgrace for democracy and a danger for the rest of the world,s”
You gave your sovereignty to the EU so the democracy that WE FORCED your nazi collaborating ancestors to take has been tossed away. You are again in no position to lecture.
“so indulge me a little bit more.”
You are already an overindulged euro-parasite.
“During the debate Obama complained about the lies made by McCain concerning his so called ties to Ayers”
They are not lies, Ayres was his friend, benefactor and mentor. Obama surrounds himself with people who resent the USA (The reason you like him) so why should this surprise you?
“From the article and the numerous phone calls it is now clear these lies ,which huirt the very nature of democracy itself,will not stop.”
Again, your contempt for the democracy that was given to you with the blood of real men has already been demonstrated clearly. Belgium doesn’t even have a functioning government.
