<This is like watching Pravda.> Unfortunately that just about sums it up. If elected, Obama will start going after all the blogs, radio shows etc. <And by the way, I want to go back to Joe the plumber. Here's an innocent guy whose only mistake was he took on Barack Obama in a way that was very painful. And maybe the reason you have two polls this evening that show this race too close to call because Joe the plumber pointed out he didn't want some politician spreading his wealth to that politician's cronies and allies.> I was talking to my neighbor who has a successful small business. He said that after watching what they did to Joe the Plumber, if any Obamagoons walked up to him, he would just tell them whatever they wanted to hear. He said that he's put his whole life into his business and that no way he's going to risk it all by saying the wrong thing. The age of the Obamagoon squad has arrived.

Gretta had Bryon York/NRO on tonight....Her concern and his, is really OURS! Griffin took York's words out of context, and slammed Palin....Today, CNN apologized to NRO, but DID NOT YET apologize to Palin and the Campaign... This entire transcript is at the link below....Newt is just exactly correct.... Gingrich: CNN Misquote in Palin Interview Shows 'The Fix Is In' Thursday, October 23, 2008 foxnews.com This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," October 22, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Tonight, we have Governor Palin who's getting the hits. The hits on Governor Palin -- they just keep on coming. Thirteen days to the election, neck-and-neck horse race, and Senator McCain's running mate continues to be slammed, some of it grossly unfair. Yesterday, CNN was either incompetent or really dirty. Check this out. CNN reporter Drew Griffin asked Governor Palin this question, supposedly -- yes, supposedly quoting a "National Review" column. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DREW GRIFFIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Governor, you've been mocked in the press. The press has been pretty hard on you. The Democrats have been pretty hard on you. But also, some conservatives have been pretty hard on you, as well. "The National Review" had a story saying that, you know, I can't tell if Sarah Palin is "incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, or all of the above." GOV. SARAH PALIN (R-AK), VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE:>b? Who wrote that one? GRIFFIN: That was in "The National Review." PALIN: Who wrote it? GRIFFIN: I don't have the author, but they were... PALIN: I'd like to talk to that person. (END VIDEO CLIP) VAN SUSTEREN: Here's the problem. The CNN reporter took the quote completely out of context. The column was actually an indictment of the media, not the governor, but of the media. Here's the quote in context. "Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin's incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward or, well, all of the above."'
