Pastor Rick Warren’s Forum Unfair to Obama
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2008-08-17) — The Saddleback Civil Forum Saturday night, hosted by best-selling author Pastor Rick Warren, was “utterly and shamelessly biased” toward Republican presidential nominee John McCain, according to a spokesman for the ‘Obama for America’ campaign.

Sen. Barack Obama, one of the two front runners for the Democrat presidential nomination, often seemed to stumble through his answers to Pastor Warren’s questions, continually glancing down to his right, with his head cocked at a 45-degree angle for nearly the entire hour.

Sen. McCain, on the other hand, gave crisp answers, looked directly at the television audience most of the time, and delivered what many pundits acknowledged was his best performance to date.

Pastor Warren asked each candidate the same set of questions, including “At what point is a baby entitled to human rights.?”

Answering that question would be “above my pay grade,” said Sen. Obama, who reported $4.2 million in household income in 2007.

When he was asked the same question, Sen. McCain immediately said, “At the moment of conception.”

That interchange clearly demonstrates how the event was biased against Sen. Obama, according to his spokesman.

“Of course McCain looked good,” the anonymous Obama aide said. “He didn’t have to worry about how his answer would be perceived. He didn’t have to work to recall his talking points. He didn’t have to think, or even try to look like he was thinking. All he had to do was blurt out what he believed. Clearly, this gave him an unfair advantage, and we think the American people will see this for what it is…another Republican smear tactic.”

Heh.

Well I can easily understand how blurting out what you believe can be seen as an unfair advantage. Kinda goes hand in hand with not lying and having to remember what you said to the last group.

I have come to realize what the world looks like through the rose colored glasses of democratic socialism and egalitarian relativism.

It all boils down to fair. And fair defined by democrats, liberals and socialists et al.....means "we win you lose, we're right you're wrong and anytime we misstep or misspeak? It isn't fair if you don't concede defeat to us."

Yep.

Po, po pitiful me. I have to be nuanced. I have to take all sides of an argument. I have to be NICE. I have to deactivate my testicles to appeal to the eunuchs and bitches my party attracts.

Po, po pitiful me.

Of course, it was unfair to Obama. It's not like he and McCain were asked the same questions, right? ;)

I didn't watch this thing, but from what I've been hearing, Obama had another repeat of that Philly debate. As for McCain, it sounds like he handled himself well - if not more so.

While I believe McCain is a RINO, he is so far above and beyond Obama that it is hilarous. We do not have one statesman in politics...only politicians. This country is in a sorry mess when the dummycrats can only run an empty suit for prez. God help us!!!
