Why do you think it's biased? I always have a hard time with the word "biased." The term I used was "a stretch" and said that would be an understatement. But after rereading the piece so I could reply to this, I find the word "biased" an extreme understatement. Let me just offer a string of notated quotes that struck me. You can come to your own conclusion about either "bias" or "stretch." Obama's women reveal his secret: he hates America. Hardly a promising start. His uplifting rhetoric is empty, as Hillary Clinton helplessly protests. Empty rhetoric is extremely unlikely to move people. His career bears no trace of his own character, not an article for the Harvard Law Review he edited, or a single piece of legislation. Certainly hasn't looked at his senate legislative work. Obama profiles Americans the way anthropologists interact with primitive peoples. He holds his own view in reserve and emphatically draws out the feelings of others; Definitely hasn't read his book. The probable next president of the United States is a mother's revenge against the America she despised. Ouch. You won't find a single word of support for this view in Obama's first book. But Michelle Obama is a living witness. Her February 18 comment that she felt proud of her country for the first time caused a minor scandal, and was hastily qualified. But she meant it, and more. The video footage of her remarks shows eyes hooded with rage as she declares: "hooded with rage." Oh, please. Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public. Now there is some revealing language. Actually I could go on and on and on. But it's hardly worth it. The Spengler piece is well beyond a hit job. Should be disowned by everyone. Period.
