It's not about seeing any light. It's a sarcasm.....in the sense that anything seems to be fair play in the media now. Criticism needs to be made without insults and accusations that have no factual basis for making them.

On the other hand, accusing the media of trying to get someone killed, is going overboard. If someone tries to assassinate the president, it's for reasons other than what Beck says on his show.....they either have some kind of a cause they believe in or they're crazy (which in most cases I guess is the same thing). John Hinkley tried to kill Reagan for Jodi Foster and she didn't say anything about Reagan....he was just nuts.

As I said in my other post, my comment is mainly sarcasm with regards to what the media has come to now but, the fact that it was a British film doesn't change anything....it was filmed in Chicago and people bought tickets to watch it in U.S. theaters.

You were talking about it like it is a propaganda film from the left wing.

Just wanted to point out to all the folks at home who may be confused that it is not.

Michele Bachmann says this at a townhall meeting concerning killing the healthcare reform bill:

Quote:
“That’s really where this battle will be won — on our knees in prayer and fasting,” she told the listeners. “Remember: faith without works is dead. So we’re asking you to do all of it: pray, fast, believe, trust the Lord, but also act.”
Yes, let’s pray that millions of Americans continue to be denied adequate medical care!

And you criticize Obama for having his children baptized!

Let's you and I start a different thread on why or why not the Rev.Wright is racist or hates this counrty.

In your reply why don't you post a link or even para-phrase he has said that was "anti-white".

You are on the adult forum now! Time to prove your point instead of regurgitating what you have heard from certain republicans and court jesters who give you fox news and balanced news!

Why did Obama sit there?

Get ready you won't kile this, you may even wet your pants!

The Black Value System:
Trinity - BLACK VALUE SYSTEM


"...Our History

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.."

Still waiting on the "kill whitey" part?
Sorry to disappoint you but it's not there and never has been!

I didn't say anything about politics, the left wing, the right wing or any other wing. In fact I didn't mention the film title (or that I was even talking about it.....I was though). You assumed my post was political and that I was talking about it as left wing propoganda....and you know what happens when you assume......

The original post was that there are those in the media are trying to get the president killed. Although that's a bit too much drama for me, I do think criticism from the media towards public figures has gotten way out of hand with regards to the way it's being given....a lot of insults and unfounded accusations.

When it come to the movie, "Death of a President" (this is another area where things have become lax IMO), it's described as a fictional documentary. There was a time when people would have said that description makes no sense, how can it be fictional if it's a documentary. I think a lot of people still think that way about documentaries too.....that they're based on facts. That's certainly not the case any Moore....oops....I mean any more (lol). This movie is obviously fictional and no one disputes that because everyone knows Bush wasn't assassinated. Other documentaries like Moore's or Stone's are not always pure non-fiction and yet they're not described as fictional documentaries......just documentaries. Since there's nothing blatantly fictional in them (like an assassination that hasn't happened), some people are willing to accept everything contained in them is purely factual (and absent of any political preference too).

You sure you are not talking about the demented left wingers and Bush?

Old Heretic Harry Reid was celebrating Kennedy's death saying it would help the Democrats or did you want to ignore that truth. Death has always been a love of the lefts.
