from The Daily Mail UK:

British Editorial on Obama's Victory

The Daily Mail (UK) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009.
(confirmation, Google "London Daily Mail Obama's Victory")
Obama's Victory--A British view
   
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher
Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of
objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they
depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would
not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.  A victory
for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult.  A
man who has done little with his life but has written about his
achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a
marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style
over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

    A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the
world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to
independence.  For those who settle for group think and herd mentality
rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be
out of step with meager political fashion.

    Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom.  He and his people
have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced,
without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like
most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and
Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are
drastically liberal and anti-conservative.  Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio.
In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression
may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot
tolerate any criticism and opposition.  A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise
children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to
teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is
sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as
quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the
painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure,
unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation..  A victory
for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban
snobs.

    Congratulations America !  Your funeral will be sooner than you
think!

The funniest part of this trash is that if you Google their so-called "confirmation" phrase, you don't get any hits to the London Daily Mail; all you get are neocon websites.  Why doesn't this surprise me?
