That's a pretty powerful photo, or a very funny one, depending on one's POV.  I think candidates ought to have a visual graphics advisor, whose duties would include advance checks of the visuals of any venue where the candidate can be photographed, videotaped or filmed and veto power over decorations like that.  I blame her campaign advisors for that one.

Michael that is an excellent idea in the current day and age we live in of 24 hour micro coverage
Even though I greatly dislike Hillary I really think that kind of media bias is just plain wrong.
Like I said, Yeah sure it's an accident.
I bet "the fly on the wall" at Reuters heard
"wow you think we can get away with this?"
"Yeah...lets do it, it'll help Barack"

And even though it's aimed at Hillary I'd still like to punch the
asshole in the nose that does this kind of crap

I really have mixed feelings about Hillary versus Obama. Hillary is more moderate, politically, than Obama.

But, I simply do not trust her. What in her background would make me think this?

=======================================
Perhaps you would be able to answer this one on your own.

I imagine that the fact that the media (Rush and other rightwing radio entertainers in particular) have been dumping on her on a daily basis might have an effect on your opinions as well.

But that is speculation on my part. I shall wait with anticipation your explanation.

Xo, word of advice.  Not every conservative gets their marching orders from Rush.  Despite your constant harping of the RW being some mass Rush groupie, if you were to take a poll of all the conservatives and right leaning moderates here in the saloon, I doubt you'd get more than 1 person perhaps who listens to Rush at all, much less on some consistent basis.

For instance, I (sirs) have probably heard Rush a grand total of 10minutes since 2008 began.  Hardly some Rush groupie, who forms his opinions from him.  and I wouldn't be surprised if not more liberals in here listen to him, since they seem to come up with his talking points far more than any of the conservatives

Just because a person doesn't agree with your political persuasion doesn't equate to them either being a dittohead or a fascist nazi.  so for you and Tee to perpetuate that nonsense speaks much more for the lack of substance to your side of the argueement

Not everyone drinks Budweiser, either, but everyone is aware that it is sold and it is beer that at least Anhaeuser-Busch thinks you should drink. Without the ads, it's Blatz.

Without anti-Hillary tireades since before 1992, we would hear less of them now.
Constant harping on a theme is like water dripping on a rock for decades.

Perhaps you would like to share what makes you mistrust Hillary, since Rush did not cause you to be anti-Hillary.

Thinks you should drink, yea.  MAKES you drink, or causes you to drink, NO.  And there in lies the difference.  So as I suggested, take a poll of who supposedly actually listens to Rush, since nearly everyone has heard of him.  That way, you might pause to think for a moment before responding in some non-substantive "oh you're just following your dittohead's orders for the day" nonsense

Actuslly, I haven't listened to Rush Limbaugh in over five years. Will Ollie North do? I listened to him a year or two ago? I do frequently listen to Jerry Doyle at www.jerrydoyle.com.

I listen to Rush whenever I can, which usually three or four hours a week. More if I'm traveling in the car. Why in the world should I give a damn what some liberal toady thinks about it? As if his or her opinion about Rush matters in the slightest. I listen to a lot of talk radio. Michael Medvid (who's support for McCain is becoming a bit grating), Laura Ingraham, and John Gibson mostly (he's tough to listen to because he's on from 6-8). And local radio too.

No, some idiot bashing me because I listen to Rush doesn't matter to me at all. In fact, it's just another example of their desperation and weakness.

My point is that when Budweiser repeats their message again and again and again, they sell LOTS more beer.
No one admits that the commercials cause them to buy more beer, but repetition of a message DOES WORK, the same for Bud as against Hillary.

SOMETHING makes people have this intense hatred for Hillary. I wonder what it is, if not the result of her being constantly pummeled by the RW for the past 26 years.

I think it would be easier to get someone who dislikes "socialism" and "women's rights" to dislike Hillary than it would to get someone who drinks beer to drink more Bud. I am sure it would get someone who already drinks Bud to drink more. I have read a number of excellent boooks on advertising and how it works.

I assure you, Richie, I am neither desperate nor weak, and I suppose you will consider it an honor to hear that I think you sound exactly like Rush, just not with the whomping the desk and crumpling the paper sounds. Plus, he is funnier than you. It is not my goal in life to cause you to agree with me. So in some ways you are less annoying, in other ways more so.

The only one showing any vitriolic irrational hatred towards anyone around here, would be you, Tee, Brass, and Lanya, regarding Bush (& Cheney).  So, what radio station/host is causing that in you??

I'm a pretty solid Larry Elder & Laura Ingraham listener myself.  Thoough Rob & Ken, and Al Rantall can have their moments as well

We don't get Larry Elder around here locally, is he on Sirius? I'll have to check.
