Freedom of BLEEP

On CNN, Jeff Johnson said, “When you can be in a church, and if you just say Jesus, the people will shout. Now, if you just say Obama, people will shout.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote, “At Oakhurst Presbyterian in Decatur, 40 Obama worshippers gathered Thursday evening to reflect upon Obama’s victory.”

On NBC’s Tonight Show, Chris Matthews said, “If you’re in [a room] with Obama, you feel the spirit. Moving.”

Rev. Lawrence Carter of MLK International Chapel at Morehouse College said, “It is powerful and significant on a spiritual level that there is the emergence of Barack Obama… No one saw him coming, and Christians believe God comes at us from strange angles and places we don’t expect, like Jesus being born in a manger.”

Movie star Susan Sarandon said, “He was a community organizer like Jesus was.”

In Time Magazine, Nancy Gibbs wrote, “Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope.”

LA Times writer, Joel Stein said, “Maybe it’s a religious revelation. I’ve never had one of those… The messiah would make an excellent president. That’s half the job, making people feel saved. And Obama does that. If you make people feel like you can save them, half of them are already saved.”

Jesse Jackson, Jr. said, “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. … The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”

Representative Steve Cohen said, “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

On CNN, Donna Brazile also said, “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

On MSNBC, Chris Matthews said, “In the Bible they talk about Jesus serving the good wine last, I think [Obama] did the same.”

The Chicago Sun-Times proclaimed Obama is “not just an ordinary human being but indeed an Advanced Soul.”

On MSNBC, Chris Matthews also said, “This is the New Testament… I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.”

Our Father, who art in Washington,

callowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done,

to make the US as it is in Cuba.

Give us this day our digital TV rebates.

And let us overlook your trespasses,

as we blame everything on Bush.

Lead us not into wealth;

but deliver us from working.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory,

until America realizes you are a nutjob.

Amen.

Facebook staff has displayed an appalling lack of ethics this week.

An Ad from Facebook

It should be pretty obvious that the “Get Your Obama Check” ad campaign is a total scam. Basically you give them five bucks and they send you a pamphlet so that you can get a “$12,000 bailout.” Then after stealing your money they probably sell your email address to a spam advertising company.

Why is Facebook hosting a scam campaign? All ads are hand-picked by Facebook (I know because I’m applying to advertise another project), so why would they pick a company that wants to steal your money? Since Facebook has a vested interest in the success of the scam campaign to maintain their client base, Facebook is essentially trying to scam you. They’re trying to take advantage of people who believe in our President.

Mark deserves a swift kick in the nuts for this. Send the creator of Facebook a message to express your displeasure (he’s the one with no “add as friend” link). He already knows about this campaign because I’ve sent him multiple messages about it.

By the way, you won’t be getting a $12,000 bailout. Obama has consistently fought against putting tax cuts in the stimulus package. Likewise, he has fought against grants for small business to stimulate the economy. As a matter of fact, the only funding he has pushed will give the government (and himself) more power.

More Scam Ads from Facebook

Based on poll results and numerous surveys of the media, it seems apparent that uninformed voters and biased news sources won the election for Barack Obama.

First, it’s worth noting that many Obama voters were so politically uninformed it’s embarrassing:

57.4% of Obama voters could not correctly say which party controls congress, and more than half of these voters incorrectly thought Republicans control congress. Statistically, this performance is worse than random guessing!

More than a third of Obama voters didn’t know who Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid are. One democrat described Nancy Pelosi as “pretty cool,” but was unable to describe her roll in the government. The poll also indicated that substantially more republican voters were informed about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Secondly, polls have revealed that many democrats knew very little about their own candidate:

88.4% could not correctly identify Obama as the candidate that said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket. Again, this is statistically worse than random guessing.

82.6% could not correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting his opponents kicked off the ballot.

56.1% of Obama voters didn’t know that Obama began his political career at the home of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who said his bombings “didn’t do enough.”

Conversely, here’s what Obama voters knew about Sarah Palin:

94% of Obama voters correctly identified Palin as the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter.

86% of Obama voters identified Palin as the candidate who spent $150,000 on a campaign wardrobe.

86.9 % of Obama voters thought that Palin said she could see Russia from her “house.” However, this quote actually came from Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live.

How did so many American’s gather such slanted knowledge? A study performed by a writer for the Washington Post may contain a few clues:

“[Washington Post] readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.”

This “news” paper published 246% more laudatory opinion pieces exalting Barack Obama than the number of opinion pieces in favor of John McCain. And this only scratches the surface. The Post also had more stories dedicated to Obama, published more photos of Obama, and contained closer coverage of the Obama campaign. Simultaneously, the number of negative pieces released about McCain exceeded the number of negative Obama pieces by 181%. At least their slogan doesn’t proclaim The Post is fair and balanced.

This revolting degree of bias was exhibited by virtually every media outlet in America, according to Journalism.org:

God bless America.
