Obama's persona is more cool, distant, imperial.

However, I don't think he is deranged. He knows exactly what he is doing and when he needs guidance, he consults the the Saul Alinsky playbook.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-17445664004218549062009-09-17T09:24:47.883-05:002009-09-17T09:24:47.883-05:00Megaphone for the Few : powerful corporations cont...<b>Megaphone for the Few : powerful corporations control the public airwaves and dominate local cable networks with Hate, Fear, Racism - Huffington Post</b><br /><br />What Beck, Dobbs and Limbaugh Are Really Afraid Of<br />Timothy Karr<br />As the Campaign Director for Free Press and SavetheInternet.com, Karr oversees campaigns on public broadcasting and noncommercial media, fake news and propaganda, journalism in crisis, and the future of the Internet.

And what mainstream media's fear-merchants are most afraid of is not censorship, but an FCC that actually does its job -- creating more opportunities for people like you and me to participate in media.<br /><br />We don't have that now. Washington bureaucrats have allowed powerful media corporations to control the public airwaves and dominate local cable networks. We have reached a nadir where the free press that Thomas Jefferson hoped would open "all the avenues to truth" has devolved into a media system that's a megaphone for the few.<br /><br />Beck and Limbaugh, in particular, are two corporate welfare babies who owe much of their existence to this regulatory failure, which handed control of our airwaves to massive conglomerates like Clear Channel and ABC Radio to broadcast their fear agenda via a syndicated network of centrally owned radio stations.<br /><br />The cable sector that carries Beck and Dobbs' nightly paranoia is itself a gigantic bundle of government handouts, having built invaluable local monopolies via granted rights-of-way that beam these two into nearly every den in America.<br /><br />Try calculating what it would cost to get your content across America without a local or federal government clearing your path, and you quickly realize that blowhards like Beck, Dobbs and Limbaugh are three of the nation's biggest beneficiaries of public largesse.<br /><br />And while they're raking in millions in salaries via their government-granted fiefdoms, you, the owner of the airwaves and roads and telephone poles over which they transmit, are getting nothing in exchange.<br /><br />The ultimate irony of Beck, Dobbs and Limbaugh is that they couch in populist rhetoric a message that, in its very essence, is anti-populist -- designed to protect the swindle at the core of our media system's failure.<br /><br /><a href="http://raciality.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Raciality.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-3220946105307522822009-09-16T15:59:48.955-05:002009-09-16T15:59:48.955-05:00I have gotten several Videos of Anti Semitic Fathe...<b>I have gotten several Videos of Anti Semitic Father Charles Edward Coughlin in 1936-1941 and Senator Joe McCarthy accusing the Government and the U.
