Conservative Strategy: Take Down the Media

The conservative realm of the republican party doesn't seem to be interested in looking inward. Instead, it wants to lay blame squarely on the media. 
Just look at the recent examples: Sarah Palin attacks the media in a new documentary and Joe the Plumber becomes a war correspondent in Israel and blames the media for everything.
It's an immature strategy. The media isn't perfect but it's not to blame for republican loss. Palin should look for ways to become more adult-like. 
I'm just thankful Obama won. Can you imagine what it would be like if Palin was our vice president? If Joe the Plumber was validated? Ugh.

I Went to the Dark Side to Learn

i've been creeping around on "conservative" blogs kind of for fun. been getting a kick out of the hypocrisy and i truly want to understand them but i just don't get it.
here is the message i got when i signed up at this conservative news site to get a "barack obama exposed" 37-page missive (i was going to include some excerpts below but i've deleted them):
Dear Reader,
Thank you for signing up to receive HUMAN EVENTS' new special report, Barack Obama: Exposed! If you are looking forward to getting the ugly facts about the Left's new favorite poster boy, you've got to check out my bestseller Godless (which you can get absolutely FREE just for trying HUMAN EVENTS).
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, this liberal hostility to traditional religion stems from the fact that liberalism is itself a religion -- a godless one.
In Godless, I reveal (with the help of the liberals who dominate our courts, government bureaucracies, schools, and media) that liberalism is now the established religion of our country. I throw open the doors of the Church of Liberalism and show you...

it goes on and on but it is an ad for ann coulter's book, who i'm learning is quite the piece of work. mind you, i'm new to this political stuff. why do these conservative peeps spew so much hate? is that godful? and why would they say liberals are godless? can't they see how extreme they are?

the writers for "barack obama exposed" (there are several, including "mr. spencer is director of jihad watch and author of the politically incorrect guide to islam" and bill o'reilly, the fox guy) are overtly racist. spencer's article is titled: "the next muslim president?" o'reilly writes about ... nevermind. nearly every page has some racist overtone. if this is conservativism then i understand clearly why john mccain is staying away from them. there's nothing exposed except the foolishness of the writers. basically, these people are nuts.
i'm going to delete that document and resist wandering off into the darkness.

What is a Conservative Republican?

i really would like to know.
it seems that they are people who just spew hate.
the "conservative" talk show host bill cunningham is now mad at john mccain for throwing him under the bus.
yesterday, radio talk guy used obama's middle name several times while introducing mccain at a mccain rally in ohio. radio host guy said that the media should “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama.” the intention was clear. no one uses mccain's middle name.
ignorant radio guy was appealing to the small-minded people who think that because obama's middle name is hussein that somehow he must be related to sadaam, or that he must be a terrorist or that he likes terrorists.
mccain apologized like a man with values. i respect that.
but what's with "conservatives?"
i thought that conservatives were religious people. I though they had values. i thought that was what they prided themselves on but they seem to hate more than anything. the tactic that cunninham used is obviously wrong and frankly, stupid by any measure.
what do they stand for? why do folks such as rush limbaugh and this cunningham guy get so much of these conservatives' attention?
