Of COURSE it's about racism. What else were they gonna come back with? Their tame black guy bucked against his masters, and now they're gonna have a conniption fit - that's pretty much the way they're looking at this. You think Colin didn't know this was gonna happen?
The second Powell ever became less than useful, the comments were gonna start. What else would you expect of a party that's been pandering to racists for decades?
That pucklady woman...I don't even want to start the stream of expletives that comment made me shout. She doesn't get to talk about Dr. King, period. That may have been, in it's way, the most reprehensible comment I've seen today. Of course, now that I've said that, someone's gonna try to top it...
It's not a bad day here. I think I'll catch some fresh air.
As is every endorsement McCain has picked up from white people, right?
Go home, you racist troll.
Here's a question you could have asked him, Joan: "does that mean that every white person who's endorsed McCain did that because he's white too?"
I don't think these people even realize how offensive that is.
What I said to OhioP goes for you too. Take that feeble, annoying diatribe somewhere else.
If they were a news organization. Since they aren't, well, I'm sure Judith has to eat to.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning.
I needed the laugh. Good job, and your point is taken.
This, or any other, race-based analysis only applies to minorities. White people are assumed to, you know, think.
I think the craziest of the Republicans keep hoping the "liberal" line in the sand keeps getting pushed so far right that they don't look so bat-shit crazy anymore.
What do you mean, "could" get dirty? You don't actually think the last two elections have been valid, do you?
This guy must have a hole where his soul is supposed to be. I'm not too sure what he's using in his head for brains either; I couldn't believe some of the answers he gave you. Long-term bombing, because of Iran's aggression, of course. We have to stop them from waging war by...waging war. The illogic makes my head hurt.
Of course, these people need Iran as villains, because they've got oil, and Americans are used to thinking of them in that role. If "W" was a different man, they'd probably be US allies right now...they made some overtures after 911. For sure, relations could easily be better, but that wouldn't sell more missiles, would it?
Really good interview Glenn. I feel worse hearing it, knowing that someone like this can get people who matter to listen to his ravings, but it's better to know.
Should we call him Kenneth the Carpet-bomber?
These people are embarrassing. For anybody who cares about the state of journalism, or what the profession should be, the way many reporters behave is like continually being punched in the stomach.
At least this isn't the same Lakers - Celtics article everybody else is writing. And hey, it could happen.
I'm not sure anything would upset Chuck D as much as anybody belly-dancing to P. E.
If the MSM gets increased viewership, and therefore ad revenue, from having "sxclusive" stories, is some kind of lawsuit viable? I'm pretty sure it's money that's behind this attitude.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to be repeating thoe stories all week. I thought you were remarkably polite to that woman.
Wolfmason, have you heard that Obama is actually a were-hyena? That african blood, you know. Can't trust it.
Even if you give her a mulligan on just about everything that was said in the conversation (and there were lots of things that should have made her realize something was up - I mean, Nailin' Pailin?) how the hell does she not know who the Prime Minister of Canada is? The country she really CAN see from Alaska? America's biggest trading partner?
Stupid, incompetent woman.
Hate to tell you, but the accent was legit. It was Quebecois, but legit.
But I'm betting the would lose money if they did went even more Right. Who do they want to be, FOX?
I wonder how he'll comment on that tomorrow. My condolences to the entire family, she sounded like a really nice, genuine person.
Nothing else. Just that.
What do people here do if Obama loses, and it seems like it's another stolen election? What do you do?
Yeah, I'm nervous about this. I won't relax until the stake is in and the head of this election has been cut off.
I hear you. I hope you won't need it.
I still see some signs of life out there though...
I gotta preview this stuff beforehand. Sorry about the typo.
I don't know though, I can understand the temptation right now...this seems to be taking forever.
Yeah, I saw Carville. That was funny. "Me? What are you talking about?" I bet he hasn't scrambled that fast since high school.
Actually, it was taking me back to my youth and Star Wars.
Faux just called it for Obama too. Now I can relax. It's over, and it's just beginning.
Already some talking heads on Fox are saying that they hope Obama listens to the business community.
I guess because they've been managing things so well lately.
Or does Shepherd really seem like he's on drugs? Could he be more mellow?
That was one of the best speeches I've heard McCain give. Very graceful. Some of his supporters though...
Doesn't matter. Let's see how these people react tomorrow. I'm just gonna enjoy this now.
They're starting to fight over the reasons for the loss. Glenn, you were right, this is beautiful. Thanks.
