So ABC’s debate moderator - Stephanopoulos - goes on Sean Hannity’s radio show, and Hannity essentially hands him opposition research and the ABC “journalist” just repeats it in the course of a presidential debate. Yeah, the media’s liberal.

Don’t forget who little Georgie S used to work for …
These people are so dumb, they wouldn’t even stand out in comment section of the reddest blog.
God! How many times did Obama kept trying to saw “let’s talk about real issues” and Georgie and Chuck kept asking about Wright and lapel pins. Farking Mb<lapel pins!!.
And after Obama answers about Wright for, what, the 100th time, Hillary says its a situation that needs FURTHER explanation and discussion?
“Drudge rules our world”-Charlie and George
How is possible that in a “debate”, the name Jeremiah Wright is repeated a dozen times, but the name Osama bin Laden is not mentioned even once?
After it was over I starting imagining how nice it would have been, in the midst of this live debate, if someone in the audience had just stood up and expressed the general disgust with the questions. Yell out “Oh for god’s sake! Lapel pins? Gas is approaching $4 a gallon, people are losing their homes, the war in Iraq isn’t improving, health costs are going thru the roof. Ask a question about a REAL issue that someone actually cares about. And it ain’t damn lapel pins!”
Better question: Why didn’t either of the candidates do this? Obama tried in his usual quiet way, but this dog needed to be smacked forcefully in the nose. How great would it have been if either candidate had just said “George, Charles. That’s a stupid question and I’m not going to spend time on it. What I’m going to do instead is speak to the meaningful question you should have asked and talk about health care and why my plan is better then his/hers.”
Y’know. Actually LEAD.
How are you going to lead the country if you can’t even take charge when dealing with two morons?
And in this sleazefest, no reaction to 2 Hillary surprises:
“…I said something I knew to be untrue…”
Well, do you call that forgetting, Senator? Or LYING?
“…massive retaliation against Iran…”
Without authority from Congress, Senator? Didn’t even DUBYA get that first?
The Big O’s academic, law review editor/law lecturer style is more suited to stump speeches than debates. He thinks too much out there, instead of memorizing talking points and sound bytes. Great f/ the classroom, for battling HRC, not so much.
My first thought was “What the fuck was that?”
They couldn’t have found a moderator who didn’t work in the Clinton White House? They couldn’t ask real questions? I knew we were in trouble with the lady asking about the damn lapel pins.
One doesn’t show patriotism with a .29¢ pin made in China.
It wasn’t on Fox, but it may have well have been.
Do what I did and call the ABC switchboard at 212-456-7777. You have to say you want to complain about the news division, then press 2 to leave a comment, then press 1 for news, and then dial 199 for “other news programs.” It goes quick, so I had to make it short. I think this is the first time I’ve ever called a network to complain – it’s fun! Old people are really on to something! Perhaps I will buy some velcro sneakers as well.

Here’s another number that sometimes work: 818-460-7477
Pass it on!
Shorter VDH:
I have no life.
Alternate shorter VDH:
I actually did something instead of just venting on a blog.

Or maybe, JUST MAYBE, did to the “moderators” what audience members did to little-guy-defender-turned-corporate-shill Howard Beal at the end of “Network.”
Mad as hell, indeed. Not to mention bitter.
And Hillary? She’s jumped the shark, for sure. What McCain reportedly called his wife can now rightly apply to HRC.
Yeah. Ugliest point for me was when Obama tried to quite appropriately finish with the Wright controversy once and for all yet again, and Hillary said it was a situation that needed further explanation and discussion.
The woman has insulted me too many times.
See Fox News Gets Owned by Pro-Wright Priest
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/fox_news_owned
Fox News totally owned. Wow… this priest is sharp! The little Fox reporter wasn’t expecting someone this studied.
“Was Bill O’Reilly a Marine?”
Go here to watch the video
…I’m speechless, this guy was good at telling Faux News off and exposing their prejudices and spin. He pointed out everything that is wrong with this country and the Repubs through this little weasel of a Fox News reporter.
“They’d say ‘Jesus was a madman’”
The priest knows what he is talking about, while the Fox news reporter keeps trying to push the “racist” and “anti American” slant consistently. He said:
“How can Pastor Wright be a racist? I am white and he and I are friends!”
The priest said that if Fox replayed 30 second sound bites of what Jesus said, then Fox would accuse Jesus of being a terrorist etc. Same with Martin Luther King. Priest said - you want to portray King as some soft fuzzy peaceful person, and he wasnt!.. (I paraphrase poorly, but there’s no transcripts)
That’s it. That man’s new name is The Bus Driver, because he just took Fox News to school.
