Author Who Declared This To Be The “Age Of Obama” Will Moderate VP Debate – Update: Contact Info Added

The left wing anti american press set this up in hope McCain would object and they could continue to scream ‘racist’. I’m for burning the PBS building after nailing the doors and windows shut. I’ll include the rest of the Lame Stream Media also and in a couple of years 50 million people will join me in doing the job. I haven’t heard one person say a good word about Hussein O ever or the failed congress this week. Most voice the opinion they should be placed on a ship for a trip and then used for battleship firing practice.

I am looking at the Commission on Presidential Debates website. I do not see a contact us section. we need to voice our outrage!

What’s the difference? Who in that loop isn’t biased? Perhaps the negotiations included that she discloses her book deal, in that case the public will be watching for bias. If not, the part of the public that knows about the book deal will be watching for bias. Either way, with this hanging over her head, I’m guessing that Ifill will go an extra mile to keep the debate balanced for fear that her reputation doesn’t fall into the Oberman, Matthews, Campbell Brown, etc., etc., etc., chasm.

Fit fit you seem to agree only when yoiu can get your little slams in.

Now does it really matter if the moderator is black or white? Liberal or conservative? Male or female? I ask these ?’s to bring out a point. If the message you deliver is the “right” message, it does NOT matter who asks the ?’s. Your message, your ideas, your solutions will stand or fall on there own merit. Gov Palin will need to stick to the hard core truths and conservative message. She will need to remember to ALWAYS be on the offensive. The conservative message is a SUPERIOR one and if she sticks to the basics, she will be the winner.

Curt,

Does she love herself some Obama? I bet she also loves her some chicken. And watermelon too. If your point has validity, why don’t you just make it sans the Ebonics?

Part of the answer is obvious. You have to feed some red meat to old Scrappy before he pulls his chain out of the ground and incinerates the staff of PBS.

Don’t worry so much folks. 86% of the American people consider themselves Christians, and 60% of the American people consider themselves conservative. So no matter how the vocal minority (Obama’s deciples) and the MSM fake the news and polls, 86% of Christians and 60% 0f conservatives ain’t gonna vote for the commie empty suit.

I have to say that I think some people are missing the point of her book. I certainly don’t dispute that Gwen Ifill is a lefty but based upon the video you posted as well as the description on Amazon.com the book is about Black political figures.

An Excerpt from Amazon:

She offers incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama, and also covers up-and-coming figures from across the nation. Drawing on interviews with power brokers like Senator Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and many others, as well as her own razor-sharp observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict and the “black enough” conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history.

Now I have not looked up every name to see how many are Democrats and how many are Republicans, but I do know Colin Powell isn’t a lefty. Despite the fact that we don’t agree with what Obama represents, let’s not forget that this is a historic election. It is the first time in the history of our Republic that a black man has ascended to the position of being a presidential nominee. Like Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice (she should have been McCain’s pick for VP if McCain was to choose the most qualified woman), Obama is breaking the color barrier in a lot of respects. And yes people don’t give Bush enough credit for having two black cabinet members in high positions.

I have a feeling that if Colin Powell were the Republican nominee (now there’s a Commander in Chief) instead of McCain and Hillary was the Democrat nominee, she would have would used his name instead of Obama’s.

My point is that I think her book is to showcase black politics and Obama being the first black presidential candidate certainly warrants attention. Again I’m not disputing her being on the left but you certainly can’t unequivocally state that this is a pro Obama book rather than pro-black political book. I think we sometimes forget that there was a time when blacks couldn’t vote much less be apart of our politics. Being from the South, my parents remember vividly some of the horrible ways blacks were treated. So to now be at the point where a black man can potentially be the President shows that we as a country have come a long way to bridge the gap in race equality. Is he the most qualified black candidate? No he isn’t but Colin Powell and Condelizza Rice aren’t Democrats or interested in running for President.

I realize that I’m a big softy but I had to put in my two cents.

What I find so despicable is that everybody knows that the worst enemy a woman can have is another woman (just think of the bitch Couric). Not only is she black and a lefty… but she is also a woman. Everything’s set to go against Palin Can anybody tell me who chose that woman for the VP debate?

Thanks Mata for the information. I am relieved that you said: “And personally, I’ll take Ifill over Schieffer any day”.

I also think that Sarah will be the winner of this debate. I believe in her.

If Ifill did not inform the debate producers that she had a book deal in the works, that potentially could be a conflict of interest as the VP debate moderator, then it is an understatement to say that she no longer has any professional integrity. Doesn’t matter what race, sex, religion, etc.,etc.. she is, this shows a total lack of integrity. The media is clearly in the tank for BHO. I can only hope that the voters will turn out & put an end to this brand of socialist ilk.

It would seem that PBS could nowadays stand for Probama Broadcasting Service. How do they get away with this extreme prejudice? And FOX is defamed as a radical Right-Wing propaganda outlet? It is sickening to flip past PBS on TV to see them heap praise on this mongrel, all the while casting aspersions on Sarah Palin. PBS HATES SARAH PALIN!!! It is SO obvious. Why do they continue to get taxpayer money for this blatant display of liberal bias. I guess they believe if a democrat gets elected, PBS and NPR will be SWIMMING in taxpayer money. At least FOX doesn’t rip off the public. Don’t want to watch? Turn it off. Nothing gained, nothing lost. Don’t want to watch PBS or listen to NPR? Too bad! The government demands that some of your taxes go to these thieves, thanks to our brave and dynamic Congress. Sink or swim; if PBS can’t support itself, it shouldn’t be on the air. Propaganda is Propaganda is Propaganda!
