Have you noticed lately how the media has been focused on President Obama’s coolness? It’s almost like they got a memo one day telling them to start parroting the talking point. Oh wait, in a way they did! IBD picked up on it:
In early February, Politico reported that the Obama campaign, hoping to rekindle enthusiasm among young voters, was “looking to revive the cool appeal.” Then, suddenly, news stories started popping up about Obama’s alleged coolness, in contrast to that drip Romney. A sampling:
• President Obama: The cool factor
• ‘Cool’ Obama Returns GOP Fire on Gas Prices
• Obama: The new King of Cool
• Barack Obama is cool. Mitt Romney is not. What does it mean for 2012?
• Campaigning for the ‘Cool’ Vote
• The Obama-Romney ‘Cool Gap’ (Read More)

I wish somebody would create an audio file of Rush’s clips where he proves they are all saying the same thing. This just being the latest example. And we wonder how the Media gins up various campaigns – be it ‘bullying’ or ‘trayvon and skittles’ or ‘global warming’ or ‘war on women’ or ‘voter suppression’ or ‘kill at will’ etc etc etc etc etc . I bet somebody could put together a Lib Campaign Detector program that would email a warning to conservatives that they are up to their usual tricks. Of course I doubt they can make a campaign of “May-day is a beautiful American Holiday” – you find that dippy nonsense on AlterNet, along with their attack on those who say they are ‘self made’ – banging on their socialist drum. Will somebody please explain to me why Monica Crowley apologizes for asking whether the Fluke is getting married to a man ? I want an apology from the halfwit overpaid executives at Kraft who caved in to ColorOfChange. And more apologies from those who cave in to extortions from Rearend Jesse Jackson and that other Rearend Al Sharpton.

They’re parroting what Obama supporters are saying. My commie brother thinks Obama is “cool” (at least he was when I last spoke to him almost 3 years ago.) Of course, my commie brother is also as dumb as a stump.

The obama campaign is stooping so low that they’re trying to turn the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION into a high school popularity contest…one can only imagine how much more pathetic this is going to get over the next 7 months.

Aha, I found it, finally. From COLORING THE NEWS by William McGowan 2001 p 238
speaking of Diversity Crusaders:
“Echoing the revivalist certitude of the 1992 ASNE meeting, the Times’ new young publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., arrogantly brushed away complaints of political correctness at a panel discussion at the UNITY convention in 1994: ‘If being labeled PC is the burden we must carry for offering readers a broader, more complete and therefore more accurate picture of the diverse world around us, it is one I bear proudly.’ On another occasion he said ‘If white men were not complaining, it would be an indication we weren’t succeeding and making the inroads that we are.’ ”
How about that. Who is we, paleface ?

Some of “cool” stuff appeared on the TV here in Australia yesterday. Why does Obama need campaign funds when he has the media in his pocket?
