| Sunday comic on the MSM and internet blogs. Some might say it's over the top... |

| #9 Gore was the first to bring up Willie Horton but you ask anyone and I bet you Bush Sr gets credit. Rewriting history is nothing new and those that control the media control the memes. of course the right will get blamed for the Michelle Whitey thing eventually. |

| #8 I think the MSM and 'Internet' persona should be reversed - the MSM should be the 'drunk and disorderly' looking one. I think a lot of these 'rumors' are being deliberately placed. The rumor of Michelle and whitey tape was started by a Liberal (and a supporter of Billary) but the MSM keeps reporting it as coming from the right - in an effort to smear the blogs. Michelle Malkin has a posting on it |

| #7 What's over the top about it? I spend at least ten minutes a day deleting wild rumors people forward to me, and I've given up reading most of the blogs I started on because there are so many lies. No, McCain did not have a black baby. No, Bush did not order the Twin Towers bombed. No, Obama is not a Muslim, he is a citizen, his wife never spoke at that event where they say she said "whitey." No, he wasn't sworn in on a Koran, he doesn't refuse to say the pledge of allegiance, and I've seen plenty of pics of him wearing a flag pin. I've got enough reasons to vote against Obama (like his lack of experience and like my being one of the people whose taxes he wants to raise), I don't need all this nonsense along with it. I got a laugh out of that Candorville because it's true. Still isn't going to make me vote Obama, though. |

| #6 I do like the way the media starts off the strip giving contradictory views of McCain. Showing they are a mess that happens to look somewhat respectable. And to be honest the number of blogs that promote wacko crap far outnumber those that cover news or meaningful political debate so the strip doesn't really seem offbase. |

| #5 Darrin Bell is an interesting fellow. Sadly, he has completely internalized at least 75% of black political mythology. |

| #2 Candorville - seems an appropriate name. Brings to mind the old Soviet saying about their newspapers Pravda (Truth) and Izvestia (News): In truth, there is no news, in news there is no truth. |

Irony to the white courtesy phone, please. |
