It doesn't surprise me that any informed person would choose Barack Obama over Mitt Romney, but I <i>am</i> surprised that their corporate owners would let them do this, especially in such a right-wing state (and given the financial struggles of newspapers in general).Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-21695797093315518492012-10-15T07:41:52.201-05:002012-10-15T07:41:52.201-05:00I read the paper the other day and almost fell out...I read the paper the other day and almost fell out of my chair! Hard to believe the LJS endorsed Obama, after endorsing George W twice, and McCain in '08.<br /><br />Of course, that won't change a single vote in Nebraska (a lost cause for Democrats anyway). It's still nice to see there's someone with a brain and/or a shred of integrity in their editorial department. Do you suppose anyone will lose their job over this endorsement?Gregg Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024020470731804949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-62518749484767500182012-10-14T16:13:57.678-05:002012-10-14T16:13:57.678-05:00Did you notice Jody P won't answer my question...Did you notice Jody P won't answer my question?

He believes everything that's on Fox 'News.' He's a Rush Limbaugh dittohead. He believes that science is a liberal conspiracy. Heck, he believes that <i>everything</i> is a liberal conspiracy. And he hates how white Christians face so much discrimination these days, even forced to let black people use the same water fountains as 'real' Americans.<br /><br />People like him are the GOP <i>base</i> these days. They're not all that crazy, but they're at least sympathetic to the crazy. At the very least, they tolerate it, if not encourage it.<br /><br />These are the people the GOP deliberately wooed in their 'Southern strategy.' These are the people they've encouraged on Fox News. Not all Republicans are like this - some of them even regret it - but that's the heart and soul of the party these days. And deliberately so. Republican leaders did all this for their own political advantage.<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-85228878205615473392012-10-14T13:02:19.619-05:002012-10-14T13:02:19.619-05:00Heh, heh.

&q...Right on cue, Jody P. throws a temper-tantrum:<br /><br />"The LJS has come out of the closet and emerged as the Lincoln Socialist Star. Big surprise. Two things immediately jump out here:<br /><br />1. It's been obvious for years now that the LJS (now LSS) is a liberal publication. Everyone on here who disagreed with me on that is now shown to be either a liar, fool, or both. It clearly proves that these people are incapable of seeing what's plainly there right in front of us all to read.<br /><br />2. This editorial is nothing more than a collection of superficial talking points straight from the Obama campaign, and shows no evidence of any independent thought. The simple-minded repetition of the class-warfare rhetoric is particularly disheartening."<br /><br />Here's question, Jody P: What liberal group owns the LJS?Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-17445672805633470212012-10-14T09:09:32.572-05:002012-10-14T09:09:32.572-05:00Wow, that is pretty amazing.
