Why do politics have to be so mean, nasty, hateful and protesters so violent? It makes no sense to me at all. How do you protest war and other violent conflicts by trashing the downtown of St. Paul Minnesota? I have covered four national political conventions and have seen this activity first hand, and it baffles the mind. I just wonder why everyone is so hateful. Many of these young protesters have no idea what they are talking about and cannot identify most of the top people in our government today. Take off your masks and protest like you are proud of what you are doing, don't hide your faces from the police after doing vandalism. You are just wasting my tax dollars, paying for your ignorance. You might appreciate what a stupid thing you are doing when you grow up and get a job and pay taxes. Martin Luther King never smashed a window in any of his protests, and look at what he got done.
Now that I have gone freelance and watch the news media feeding frenzies, I am sometimes embarrassed that I was ever a part of that scene. As a member of the media, we did some great stories that did make a difference. Then at other times our paper had a definite agenda that was not always on the right side.
It is amazing to watch the attacks on the presumptive Republican VP candidate Sara Palin and her daughter that is reportedly five months pregnant. Note to the Left, this happens to many, many families across the US yearly, not a big deal! There was a report today that someone released Palin's social security number to the public as a malicious attempt to undermine the GOP pick's credibility.
I think the Media should let the people decide with their votes in November whether or not McCain made the right pick. I know the media is ticked off because they were not on the inside of this VP pick, and they were caught off guard on this story. What ever happened to fair journalism? The overwhelming flood of proactive journalism on behalf of the Obama campaign by the left leaning media is amazing. They should re-write this old saying to fit their agenda, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" to the new mantra of the left leaning media to "Hell has no fury like the Media scorned."
