Hi Humble Janitor,
I think you may be getting the right impression, but also the wrong one.
Many posts appear to be anti Obama because HE is the President. Just as last year everybody was goading Bush, this year people will taunt Obama, as they did Margeret Thatcher and Tony Blair in the UK.
Ron Paul has been in politics for years and has always had his followers. He and others have come more to light because what they were predicting is coming to pass. That is a dificult one to argue.
I don't really think it's a political thing, it's that when the elected party does one thing, others who do not agree with it complain. It doesn't matter which party is in power.
On George Bushs' watch we have had films about 9/11 (Loose Change, In Plane Sight etc.), articles and films about the Iraq invasion etc.
These films and articles were not produced because George Bush is a Republican, they were produced because things were not as they seemed.
The political biases from the Glenn Becks of this world are to be listened to if the listener chooses (I'm not sure if Glenn Beck is a member of Avalon). If the audience chooses not to listen, simply change the channel.
At the end of the day, we should be concerned about separating the substance of the information from the political wranglings. As Neil Cavuto says, "If it looks like a pig and it sqeals like a pig, then it's probably a pig". It's the politics that tries to put on the lipstick.
Best regards,
Steve

I don't see any balance. I don't see much criticism of people on the right wing.
Perhaps this is why Avalon and Camelot were singled out by the "obamafascists" (likely a bunch of dumbass kids on a forum more than an actual threat).
I think that if we are going to discuss politics, we need to move beyond partisan attitudes.
I suppose we could avoid discussing politics altogether but I always get a bad feeling when I see good things said about men like Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. They are the wrong people to be praising and primarily negative-orientated beings that got where they were by berating others and destroying their careers.
