So, there was a big to-do a couple of weeks back concerning the McCain campaign’s decision to kick Joe Klein off the campaign plane–presumably, because Klein has written not-so-flattering coverage of the campaign. Needless to say, this brought all sorts of scorn from the other side of the partisan divide.
Wonder what the scornful will make of this:
The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states — and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!
The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs — and possibly for the inclusion of reporters from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters — and possibly others — will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama’s historic campaign to become the first black American president.
Coincidence? You be the judge, but I think not.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 12:47AM EST (link)… guess some folks think this is important … you can count me among those (but 4 Diaries in about 8-10 hours on the Front Page?!?!) … Anyway …
You can bet your PRIVACY (or kiss it goodbye?) this portends to tell that FBI/IRS looks into Private citizens (anyone fair game, Like Democrat Partisan Hack did with/to Joe the Plumber) will be the norm if he is elected. Remember all the times we heard of Clinton hacks using Govt. agencies against “enemies?” Thought that was gone/done/impossible after Nixon/Watergate?!?!?
Obama is very thin skinned and vindictive…
Guess we have to factor in new narrative.
Obama as a Nixon/Carter hybrid, certainly NOT JFK (who actually cut taxes, not just promised it), Reagan, or even Bill Clinton, like he’s been trying to bamboozle people into believing he would model himself after.
Watergate era (remember all that and the reason for the Public Campaign Finance, and other Laws?) politics like the actions of bringing on Jet/Essence Magazines (Monthly periodicals) aboard after NY Post,Washington Times, Dallas Morning News.
Or maybe this is just Plane seats Affirmative Action!?!? like he’s promised to model Federal Courts to provide ‘Affirmative Action’ and “Redistributive Justice.”
Perhaps it’s just coincidence (yeah, right, like anything they’ve done/said has been coincidence [or on accident]), or probably has to do with the fact that even more RADICAL “Michelle Obama’s entourage” (campaign spokesman’s words) joined the campaign plane.
Nothing to worry about… Like having TV stations banned from access (remember Biden?). Not like they’d try to bring back the Fairness Doctrine or anything, Right?!?!?!
Are people really so BLIND?!?!?

The "Free" Press
Republicanuck (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 8:27AM EST (link)BHO and the LA Times would do well to reflect on the words of a notable former POTUS on the role and importance of a Free Press to America.
To wit: “The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.”

Numbering
casel21 (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 10:05AM EST (link)Drudge called this “THE BIG PURGE.” In the interest of clarity and efficiency, may I suggest we number the purges?
And this would be PURGE #3.
(I can’t believe that we’d ever be talking about purges in America.)
