The Daily Show: Baracknophobia - The Irrational Fear of Hope is Spreading

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

Vicious rumors about Barack Obama are running rampant on the blogosphere. Good thing the mainstream media is so responsible.

Between the Internet and the mainstream media, who is more accountable for spreading Baracknophobia?

  5. First I want to say that aimless shooting at Fox news will get us (The people pulling for Obama) nowhere. The problem is us. Everyone in the United States is responsible for that. Whether it's our racist commentary within and without closed doors, our lack to speak out on the type of news we will and will not stand for, and our unwillingness to actually call these politicians out on their BS. To those spewing Baraknophobia on this very site I ask you, what's so wrong about Barak Obama when in this country we clearly have price gouging of oil, biased media, and an obviously greedy president. McCain just wants in on the cash cow.

    BTW: Let's vote on the issues come Nov 2 and not color and stupid rumors because you have nothing real to throw at the candidates.

  6. the media and all the sheep that follow everything they see on tv or the internet. i dont think anyone should care who went bowling,how he greeted his wife ,how he says his speeches or what freakin color anyone is. all we should want to know is what he thinks about the issues facing the nation and world and what he is gonna do about it., and what the other person is gonna do about it and then we vote as americans on who we think is gonna do something different with this country as anyone with a head on the shoulders should know needs to be done. thats what i think anyway.

  7. I'd like to see someone prove those "truth[s] in rumors", Lance. Everyone repeats them, but no one can show us the proofs. How 'bout it then, Lance? I'm calling you out.
    Prove once and for all that the stuff you and other idiots spew is true.

  8. Barak Obama is the answer. He is a pretty scary black man. Even his grandmother thinks so. She's voting for McCain.

  9. Who's responsible for Baracknophobia? That individual is lurking on these very pages. Of course, it's Lance, who posted on June 17th at 8:56PM -- he's clearly warned us that the US will become a Muslim Nation should Barack be elected.

    And he calls us sheep!

    Guess that would make it the Ovine-acity of hope, eh, Lance?

  10. Uh... would that be the vast right wing conspiracy?

    Obviously its the news media because they double dip. they report their interpretation, projection and prognostication of the news as well as reporting everything that appears on the Internet.

    Did I get it right?
