CSPAN is on Live (et) with Debate clips & call ins..James Fallows

[Gin]

it's interesting...showed shrubs debates and kerry's debates.

[Gin]

1. a woman just called in and said..bush is a "flop"...on everything....

the war....economy...everything she turned the flip flop around on the shrub....good call

[napi21]

3. Wait. There's some dodo's calling too.

One just said "Just don't let them gt you side tracked, Mr Pres."

[dogtag]

2. I'm reassured once again after watching

Kerry at his best.

Fallows is very good and I'm enjoying his amazement at the stupidity of some of the callers.

One woman just called in and implied that there were WMDs in Iraq because our soldiers are being killed. She repeated it twice and she couldn't understand why the rest of us don't get that. Duh?

[Vincardog]

4. How about the fools who say He is a GODLY man?

My god the hypocrisy of the Bu$hlaguers

[TacticalPeek]

5. Fallows points out Shrub was AWOL on 911.

After caller puffed his 'being there'.

[Gin]

6. Fallows is talking about shrub speaking style....saying hes

uncomfortable......what he really means is stupid.....

[dogtag]

7. Talking about the spin room now.

Fallows mentioned how much impact the spinners have in changing people's minds about what they just saw.

[sffreeways]

8. Ugh did you hear the last asshole ?

I can barely control my anger toward people like her. She is a perfect example of the problem in this country. Judgemental mean lying ass.

John Kerry supports Baby murder. John Kerry supports gay marriage and marriage is supposed to be between one unmarried man and one unmarried woman. That's the Christian way things are supposed to be.

A real authority...the authoritarian personality on full display just then in that caller. Sick !

This is a good program, thanks for the heads-up !

[951]

9. Caller: "Kerry Supports Baby Murder and Gay Marriage"

I know that isnt the exact quote but you've gotta love these freepers none the less

[CBHagman]

10. Sorry I missed Fallows.

He's definitely one of the good guys and has been sounding the alarm on media consolidation and spin for years.

[TacticalPeek]

11. Half hour left to go, on c-span.

And maybe at c-span.org.

:kick:

[napi21]

12. Some nitwit caller just said Shrub is a statesman!

She said none of these leaders make decisions on whether somebody insults them. Shrub CAN get the cooperation of Germany, France, and Russia.

I wish I could send her a dictionary so she could find the definition of statesman!!!

[Gin]

13. Fallows said..."no more low expectations. for bush"......everyone is

wise to that ploy........hahahhaha

[napi21]

14. I believe that, and I sure hope we're not alone!

I can't help think it's obvious how bad shrub really is, but he seems to still have sooo many supporters! I guess that why I'm not sure the low expectations game is over.

[Gin]

15. Kerry needs to unnerve him....early on into the debate....he cannot

recover and he cannot run off stage....I would pay to see that happen.
In press conferences..he stops and walks away after he mouths off...on stage and on national TV...he cannot do that...please..please...please...rattle his cage John kerry!

[napi21]

16. Oooo, can we pay to have that happen????

I'd borrow from my retirement to see him get pissed ans walk off the stage!!!!

Naw, it won't. He's pretty stupid, but also too afraid of Cheney and Co to ever do that! They'd kill him!

[n2mark]

17. Kerry

needs to get this idiot frustrated. When Shrub is frustrated, he is at his worse. Can't speak, the fool!

[JPJones]

18. Here's a parital transcript

19. I so wanted to get through

To say all that Kerry had to do to win the debate: is for Americans to turn off their TV's afterward.
