so let's cut the bullshit here! NO ONE can, in good conscience, say that obama's campaign has been "intensely sexist" as these people maintain!

They're pretty clearly sexist, although not intensely so. I mean I couldn't ever picture saying saying either comment about the Edwards if he were the opponent.

Hillary has made some comments that were far more benign then either of these and she was called a racist because of it. I don't think, in fact that he's a sexist or she's a racist, but the media took Hillary's innocent statements about LBJ and blew them up to monumental proportions and ignored these statements. In fact, the media payed a good deal more attention to Hillary supporters such as Rendell and Farraro then they paid to either of these comments and they're not even part of her campaign. There is a clear double standard.

LOL good one ! Cosmic Comics !!

But I can't watch Olberman any more, he is way to biased against Hillary.

I gotta agree with Terry McCauliff - FOX has played it much more down the middle.

Of course that will change once we enter the general.
Then they'll be FAUX news again.

they ALL did. It's more a question of the commentators being a cheering squad for Obama.

Matthews has gotten better.
Ollberman, I don't know since I stopped watching.
