How refreshing it was to read the “objective” cover story on Corey Stewart in a recent DC Examiner. The never ending whining by the Potomac News & Manassas Journal Messenger is getting old. A
recent Opinion Page, buried in the Military section, was one of the lamest so far. Thankfully the Examiner provided something thought provoking. BTW… your new delivery service is great!

Say gas passing Cobra.  Wasn’t the Fairness Doctrine you wail about Ronald Reagan’s (R) work.  Oh yes, the Iran contra affair…Now along comes Bush and the Repubs to kill as many civil liberties as possible.  Fascist?  Absolutely.  Remember Cobra that the Nazis under Hitler borrowed miscegenation from Virginia - except Germany abandoned it in 1945 whereas Va. kept it until 1967 - and a Supreme Court decision at that by liberals. I can see why you are against liberals since the Court was liberal, including Brown v. Board decision in 1957. You’vbe just never gotten over these blackmarks on conservatibves.

Maybe you guys just need to look up the meaning of the word “objective”, Cobra. Right wingers seem to think anything they don’t personally agree with is not “objective”. 

Right wing “objectivity” looks suspiciously like fascism to me.

All they had to say in that story is that Corey Stewart did what he was elected to do. Show me any other local politician who can claim that. Two other candidates who claim to support the resolution only to stab the others in the back will not be elected next time around. We know JVA, you are still upset that your candidate lost. The crying a year later just shows your ignorance. You should be working hard to put up a candidate who agrees with your views. Quit demonizing a guy who won fair and square. I assume you are still mad about the 2000 election. We can’t depend on the Washington Post to be objective so we have to turn to other publications. Good god JVA, we have talk radio and you guys have every single media outlet in the world supporting libs. And now you guys want to shut down Talk Radio via the fairness doctine. You libs will not rest until you have it all now will you. Objective? I say not.

The Washington Examiner?  Really?  How surprising that the Washington Examiner would post an objective news story.

“The new paper is owned by Denver billionaire Philip F. Anschutz, an Evangelical Presbyterian who has bankrolled numerous ultra-conservative causes and has donated at least half a million dollars to Republican committees and political candidates. “

Clearly an objective news source.

While I’m glad you found a story in a newspaper that you personally agree with, I kind of doubt that the Examiner provided something that was “thought provoking”.
