Moonbat Fratricide: Obama Lost My Vote By Going on Fox
2008-04-28
"bonddad" @ DailyKos

I have been quiet on the presidential campaign. I'm not much of a political writer in the first place and am firmly of the opinion that you should only write to your strengths. However, Obama's appearance on Fox news was a tactical mistake of massive proportions. In addition, it legitimized the greatest threat to our country -- fact free debate. As such, Obama has lost my vote. . . .

By going on Fox news, Obama made the right wing press legitimate.
"Heretic!"
This is a mistake not only for the election, but for out country as a whole. Misinformation/disinformation/outright lies from the right wing noise machine are killing our country. By participating in this medium in any way, Obama has legitimized it.
"Traitor!"
The Democrats boycotted Fox news for this election cycle and what happened? Voter turnout is at records and enthusiasm is high. This boycott of Fox news obviously did not hurt the Democrats in any way. Yet now Obama is going on Fox.
"Blasphemer!"
Simply put, I cannot vote or support anyone who participates in this medium.
"You have Fox cooties all over you now. Ewwwwww!"
As such, Obama has lost my vote. I will most likely vote for a marginal third party candidate -- or write in Frank Zappa. Even from the grave, he's a better damn choice.
You gotta admit, Zappa owned the whole "yellow snow" issue.

#14  By God, they've got a monopoly on the truth, and you had better listen, or else you're a mouthbreathing idiot.

Not only that, you're EEEEEVVVVILLLLLL and bien-pensants like them can and will, "by whatever means necessary," stop you from pursuing your nefarious designs. It's FOR THE CHILDREN, of course...

#10  Well, at least Bonddad knows that exposure to the truths, facts, or lies of the other side can and will make your brain fart work.
I think Bonddad shows signs of being a throwback and should be banned from kos, lest he infect the site and they all begin to fart think..

#8  He's got a point: Zappa WOULD be a better president dead than Obama live.

I agree. And I doubt bonddad has any idea what a stauch libertarian and free-marketeer Zappa was.

#6  This is why the liberals keep losing. Any point of view other than their own is lies! Anything that doesn't agree with them is counterfactual! By God, they've got a monopoly on the truth, and you had better listen, or else you're a mouthbreathing idiot.

#1  So... by exercising his 1st amendment right with the "Right Wing" pres, they disapprove? Dhimocrats can only tow the party line and the deviance from it results in exile and being shunned? How... Stalinist.
