Whether Ronald Reagan wrote this himself, or one of his minions dreamed it up, it has gained notoriety as one of his well-worn slogans:

Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt speak no ill of another Republican.

Which led the Tattler to wonder what the ‘Eleventh Commandment’ of other politicians, pundits and organizations might be:

The Big Media Eleventh Commandment: Thou may speak of the deceptions, fraud, and illegal acts of the Bush Administration, as long as ye do not mention impeachment.

The Big Media Major Party Debate Eleventh Commandment: Dennis and Ron, we knoweth the polls say you won your last debates; that is why we will not allow you in the next one.

George W. Bush’s Eleventh Commandment: When thou were a child, thou hast the understanding of a child and blew up frogs; when thou became a man, thou still hast the understanding of a child and blow up men. It is beyond reason why thee continue as president.

Today the Clinton and Obama campaigns pledged to stop fighting dirty with each other around race and gender and to instead fight dirty about their positions on major issues. Okay, that’s not exactly what they said. The mainstream media would just assume they continue to fight about race and gender but they would take anything they could get. The fact is the nonsense about race and gender that has been reported about the two campaigns this week is complete bullshit maintained by the mainstream media. Very few large media companies want to see either Obama or Clinton in the White House. After all neither one fits what they want which is a white male Republican.

Right now the Democrats are in an interesting position. For the first time in American history you have a woman, a black man and a white man all running for president. What is even more interesting is that the woman and the black man seem to have the best shot at the nomination. History is being made and that should be entertaining enough. However the mainstream media, controlled by GOP loving major corporations, don’t want the public to watch this history unfold. They want to see the Democrats implode over race and gender and culture and anything else the bastards can think of so another GOP nutjob can become president.

We the people, Democrat, Republican and everyone else should be excited that we finally got here. America has been way behind the curve in terms of diversity in its presidents compared to many other nations throughout the world. This is historic for us and we should follow it for the compelling history that it is. Only racist, bigoted assholes (read much of the corporate media) would want to denigrate such a campaign into racial and gender prejudices. We the people don’t need to pay attention.

What the hell is going on? We now have a racial problem among the top two Democratic candidates? What is this bullshit? Who created this mess and promoted it? Of course the main stream media. I guess they were bored with the campaign, not enough excitement. And that is sad and shameful, and just another example of why you cannot trust anything these bastards tell you. The only way Bill and Hillary could be more attuned to the concerns of African Americans would be to have been born in Africa themselves with a lot more melatonin in their systems. Go ahead, parse that sentence and inject something I did not mean into it. That is what the MSN has done to the comments of the past couple of days. They have snipped whole statements and made them to mean something that they did not in their original context. So are these people evil bastards? I’m I pissed at them? You bet.
