Lara Logan, CBS' Chief Foreign Correspondent To Jon Stewart, "If I were to watch the news that you're hearing in the United States, I'd just blow my brains out, because it would
drive me nuts."

I just turn the TV off when I've had enough. I'm not going to kill myself over the numbnuts media while I have a computer.

The Obama campaign had to choose the lesser of two evils(from a campaign perspective) when it came to showing a few Muslim women in abbayas behind Obama at one of his rallies:

Muslim Women Kept from Camera at Obama Rally

Barack Obama's campaign has apologized to two Muslim women who were barred from sitting behind Obama during his rally on Monday in Detroit. Obama campaign volunteers prevented Hebba Aref and Shimaa Abdelfadeel from sitting behind the podium because they were wearing traditional Muslim headscarves. A campaign volunteer told one of the women that because of the political climate it was not good for her to be seen on television or associated with Obama.

Unfortunately, it's the most sensible thing to do, given the smear machine would throw gobs of shit all over Obama for supportin' terr'ists. Tabacco puts it bluntly , and I agree:

Barack Obama wants to become president, not just another Al Sharpton.

Remember, there's still ten percent of people who still think Barack Obama is a Muslim, and believe everything they read in forwarded e-mails.
