Grrrrr...MSNBC is really making me mad
Flipped through the channels and saw that Ron Reagan's new show was coming on...so I stopped to see what it was like.....

they hada woman reporting on the "blogosphere" before the actual show started and guess what the #1 story was?

Howard Dean's Gaff!

What gaff? It seems that some Right wing blog is reporting that Dean spoke to the Congressional Black caucaus and was reported to have said (paraphrasing from memory here) ...the only way the Republicans would get this many people of color in a room is if they had the hotel staff together.....

That's a gaff?

I've been looking for it but couldn't find the obscure RW blog site the lady reporter was talking about.....

All their "blog" headlines came from RW sources...nothing from any of our sites......

1. I know! I just e-mailed those idiots...twice!
That Hewitt guy is an asshole. Why does the RW continue to insult the intelligence of the American public by spewing their propaganda BS all over the air waves? It's maddening!

3. I have a hard time believing that Dean would say anything like that.

On edit:
Hewitt was my husband's advisor when he went to law school about 6-8 years ago.

Hubby thinks that he has become RRR (Radical Religious Right). He always appeared to be conservative and religious, but he didn't pipe up about when he was a professor in the law school.

4. Well, that has been THE story in the blogosphere................
for the last three weeks or so, correct? I can't think of any other stories that would trump that one. :eyes:

Actually, I think the top stoy, from what I've seen, is how MEAN and FRIGHTENING :scared: bloggers are. They're bad, bad people who want to know :scared: THE TRUTH!

Ahhhhhh, the truth. Run away, run away! :cry:

5. You're kidding!!!!!
That wasn't just today?

The way that lady presented the story it seemed like it was Today's Headline!

That's about as dishonest as you can get....

(can you say....G A N N O N /////?

6. They mentioned it on Inside Politics and Judy tried to get Rep. Clyborn
Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 05:38 PM by Pirate Smile
to condemn it or go after Dean for the comment.

He wouldn't.

He said he didn't know the context and he hadn't heard it before, but it was something he could see himself saying in some circumstances. Ha ha. Sorry, Judy. You couldn't instigate any infighting.

I don't understand what they don't get about the comment. Well, yes I do. They get it, they just want to stir up some sh#$.

7. They WANT to make bloggers look bad....the left bloggers
tend to be truthful and less hateful and less frivolous. Whereas the right seems to get their panties bunched about everything...

10. They've (MSM) have been dissing Dean all day over
that remark about "people of color." I didn't think anything of it but my mom and dad were there to see him and were offended, so were alot of older people.
