Is their a statute of limitations in politics?  Apparently so!  The media or Obama cannot bring up the Keating affair because that was 20+ years ago and does not add to the conversation of today’s politics.  But somehow something that happen 40 years ago is okay territory to attack.  Someone explain that logic..  If we are talking about Obama’s thinking and decisions, could we not say the same for McCain and Keating?

The media has become a willing accomplice in this brand of chaos, by allowing the question to go unasked and allowing the McCain surrogates to control that part of any dialog.  It is like they are afraid to ask the question.  Where have the journalist with nuts gone?  Long time passing.

Obama has his drags on the campaign like Ayers, Wright, whoever, but so does McCain with Keating, Singlaub and Palin with the Alaskan Independence Party, with the founder talking about hating the US and the flag, but none of this is asked or reported.  Why?  McCain surrogates question Obama’s patriotism but yet the AIP stuff is allowed to lie undisturbed, even after the president of the party calls US troops in Alaska, An occupying force.  Why is this?

The media hates bloggers and with good reason.  Why?  Bloggers are not afraid to bring up the crap, they do not have to answer to their corporate owners.  They can ask real questions and not let the surrogates control the tone of the debate.  The early morning media is afraid to challenge the McCain machine, bloggers are not.

The media is allowing the McCain camp to sow the seeds of chaos and of hate, by pretending that their questioons of Obama’s patriotism and judgement are valid.  Just once I would like to find a news outlet that has a set of cajones.  The people would be better served and the seeds of chaos would die a natural death.
