Sometimes I wonder if liberals just think that the rest of us are such imbeciles that we cannot see how blatantly hypocritical and biased they really are. Perhaps they do not care whether we see this at all, for that matter. Maybe, just maybe, they are like giddy school children playing checkers with their own rules knowing that nobody has the guts or brains to stop them.

A classic case in point is Saturday Night Live, that bastion of late night that has seen much better days but continues to crawl forward while managing to shove its political agenda barely masked as satire down our throats.

Last spring I discussed how blatantly biased SNL was in favor of Hillary Clinton. At that time, of course, Clinton was fighting off that suave, brash and annoying Barack Obama on her perceived path to predestined glory. SNL made it a weekly routine to paint Obama as an inexperienced idiot who could barely handle the enormous implications of sitting in the Oval Office and needed help from Hillary on regulating the White House thermostat.

Despite SNL’s strongest efforts, Hillary Clinton managed to lose the nomination to this man the show painted as a bumbling incompetent. Suddenly, magically and in typical liberal fashion, the skits insulting Obama disappeared. Just as magically, new skits bashing Sarah Palin have surfaced, with popular TV comedienne Tina Fey doing the honors. These skits paint Palin as the same kind of inexperienced wannabe that the show depicted Obama as being just a few months earlier.

It should not surprise anyone that a show mocks one politician as foolish one minute and then suddenly applies the same label to his opponent’s VP choice two minutes later while suddenly ignoring its previous attacks on the earlier target. After all, this is a classic example of bashing your preferred candidate’s opponent under the pretext of satire and good fun.

There is nothing wrong with any television program jumping at a chance to make a splash. That is what they are in the business of doing. What is disturbing is the fact that such programs only seem to splash mockery on those who oppose their chosen candidates. At this point, I would even welcome a skit that shows Hillary guiding both Barack and Sarah through a house of mirrors while chanting “mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most experienced one of all?”

Alas, such hopes are merely fool’s fantasies, for we can count on liberal shows like SNL to only mock those it wants to harm.

Do not hold your breath waiting for a skit mocking Joe Biden for telling Katie Couric that FDR was president during the stock market crash and saying that he was honest to Americans about that crash on television. Do not expect any skits mocking Barack Obama’s debate claim saying that Henry Kissinger would have supported his tactic with foreign despots only to have Kissinger himself repudiate that assumption.

Please do not look for a skit mocking Obama calling Penn State’s mascot the “Nitally Lions”.

However, if Sarah Palin sneezes or squints during her debate, if she rambles on during any interview or if she cannot name every leader of every nation in two minutes, expect to see a new SNL skit making a clown out of her.

This article is admittedly not breaking new ground by declaring the liberal media biased and blatantly unfair in its coverage and depiction of politics. Normally, a society with sound educational and informational principles could simply brush off such blatant, biased things as SNL’s mockery of Sarah Palin.

However, what concerns me is the obvious fact that this is not a society with sound anything. It is superficial, gullible and susceptible to just about every stupid, blatant and unfair communication possible.

The formula is V= E x S, which means that voting decisions= exposure to media propaganda multiplied by stupidity.

Unleash the kind of garbage brainwashing of a show like SNL on enough ignorant people, and you have the makings of more voter swing in the direction of that show’s message.

I expect to soon see a skit of Sarah Palin hunting bears, chewing tobacco, chanting prayers and burning books while Michelle Obama struts down a runway wearing the latest fashions and reading Karl Marx, I mean, War and Peace.
