4466917, David Schuster asks if the Clinton's are "pimping out" Chelsea
Posted by Husb2Sparkly on Thu Feb-07-08 05:37 PM

His point is that she's campaigning and wants to know why he can't interview her by sticking a microphone in her face.

His point was valid. His phrasing

[Saturday]

1. Done. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

2. Bullshit! The Clintons are NOT Gods and Goddesses. Chelsea is "of age" - it was a gaffe.

Get the hell over it!?!

I'm so sick of having to treat QUEEN Hillary and Princess Chelsea with deference.

Hello?!? We don't have "royals" here in the USA, not even of "The Political" type.

I'm just plain sick of The Clintons and all their SENSELESS whining.

Tell Chelsea to go back to her meager SIX FIGURE Hedge Fund Salary, but stop muzzling the journalists, who like the people, are getting SICK of the Clintons' smarmy campaign tactics, including creating a scandal out of NOTHING! :nuke:

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. a gaffe? Seriously, sexism (and Clinton attacks) are so the norm

here that people who purport to be "progressive" don't see them for what they are. Imagine if MSNBC used racism to attack Obama. Would that be ok with you too? After all, he is not king.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

5. These Obama supporters LIKE sexist attacks on Clintons!

[ShortnFiery]

8. This is a CLASSIC "Clintonian tactic" that worked so well in the 90s. Hello? It's 2008.

:shrug: :eyes:

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. "Clinton tactic?" What, to call the MSM on their sexism?

Or is the MSM tactic to use anything and everything to attack Clinton no matter how offensive?

Why is sexism ok with you? So much for a progressive board.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Wow

Even John Gotti didn't target the children of his enemies...

[ShortnFiery]

16. Hello? Princess Chelsea is 27 y.o. - FIVE years older than Monica was when she did Bill.

For all I do, I do NOT ... I say again, I do NOT start multitudes of SMEAR THREADS based on innuendo regarding my opponent.

No, The Clintons have to realize that Chelsea is no longer "a girl" and this is NOT THE 1990s. In essence, we're SICK of having to defend The Clinton's name when their adorers choose to whine for them. :eyes:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Huh

I'll repeat and elaborate...

Even John Gotti didn't target the children of his opponents, even those who had reached the age of majority...

[alstephenson]

26. I don't care if she's 101 years old....

the remark was sexist and an apology by David Shuster is in order. I wouldn't call for his firing, though. I was surprised to see this from him, but it's still unacceptable. So you think saying Chelsea was being "pimped" is O.K., huh? Geez.

[leftynyc]

42. He need to apologize to Chelsea

If he can do that, I've got no beef. But that doesn't change the fact this is part of a pattern with this network and they must note we are watching.

[LittleClarkie]

56. And he did. So what's next. The OP wants the man's head

.

[LittleClarkie]

53. If his enemies kids were out doing the family business, I bet he would have.

She is working her mother's campaign. She is also an adult. If she didn't want to take any heat, she should have stayed in the background.

I felt the same way when Elizabeth Edwards would direct a zinger at one of the other candidates, and then when people protested her words, out came "How DARE you attack a woman with cancer."

Neither one flies with me. If you're going into battle, expect to take a couple of hits.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. Aren't there right-wing sites

you should be trolling to get more cartoons of Hillary?

[Dogmudgeon]

20. I'll see your Fairy Tale and raise you a PIMP

And "creating a scandal out of NOTHING" -- like a phony incident of race-baiting that even Obama said was not race-baiting?

Tell me, which people are getting sick of the Clintons' so-called smarmy campaign tactics that you have been inventing in your mind? The Clintons are still quite popular, which drives you nuts. Hillary's polling numbers are up. And nobody hates Bill -- except for a million or so political junkies and about 10 million gun nuts enthusiasts.

Hate will eat you alive.

--p!

[Wombatzu]

30. what's funny is...

until this remark Shuster's reporting has always come across as pro-Clinton to me.

yeah, get rid of him!

[Wombatzu]

35. Clinton tactic: steer people away from reality

make a lot of noise, confuse people, keep your name in the news cycle, make a play for sympathy.

[NMMNG]

64. Yeah yeah,

Racism sucks, but homophobia and sexism are OK.


Yay Obama!

[DJ13]

4. You Hillary supporters are almost as big a whiners about the media as

the neocons have been about the coverage of W.

Geesh.
:eyes:

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

11. Wait til they call Obama a "cult leader" Im going to remind you!

[countingbluecars]

7. An apology seem appropriate

and sufficient.

[Saturday]

13. They fired Imus, why not Shuster?

Imus apologized too.

[ShortnFiery]

18. Because CHELSEA is a Public Figure. Hell, if she campaigns for morally bankrupt people maybe

she is "pimping" for mom and dad after all? :shrug:

9. Schuster apologized on Morning Joe this AM.

In case you didnt know.

[LittleClarkie]

54. Apparently Redfishbluefish want's Mr. Schuster's head on a platter

Apologies not accepted, it seems.

[blm]

10. I emailed Clinton campaign because of Bill's RACIST comments. He has to go.

.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

21. Clinton racist? LOL To funny!

[blm]

24. I emailed Clinton campaign because of Clintons deceitful gain of Dubai $$MILLIONS

from the very same royals who staked the major share of BCCI - as in the BCCI Report and its outstanding matters that were deep-sixed by Bill Clinton throughout the 90s.

Does THAT make you giggle, too, sunshine?

[Dogmudgeon]

39. And how did we learn about that?

Because Bill Clinton disclosed it to the public on his own initiative.

Some crook HE is!

--p!

[blm]

41. Really? He told you in his book about how he protected those SAME Dubai royals

throughout the 90s?

BTW - Clinton didn't disclose that the 20 million he received was Dubai money. It was learned that Yucaipa who paid Bill received a timely windfall from Dubai.

You faithful Clinton defenders are not exactly open government CITIZENS concerned about your right to honest and accountable government are you?

[Dogmudgeon]

51. First, you have to tell the truth, not defame people

Clinton indeed disclosed the whole deal.

What care I if he makes $20 million? If he does it legally, that's no different than if Bono makes $20 million promoting iPods.

You are so blinded by your anti-Clinton hatred that you are seeing what you want to see. The smear machine has been operating for two decades.

And why is "CITIZENS" in all caps? Trying to marginalize those who disagree with you?

--p!

[blm]

52. Clinton told you about the DUBAI money? When and where?

You don't know anything about BCCI or you wouldn't continue to defend Clinton.

I used to defend him consistently believing he had a reason for hiding the BCCI report - then his book came out and he chose to BULLSHIT the readers instead of sharing what went on then and how he handled all the matters. He never wrote ONE WORD about it though it was handed to him when he took office.

And now the SAME Dubai dollars that STAKED a major share of BCCI is pouring MILLIONS of dollars into Bill's bank account?

If you can't see that is a serious lapse, then you have an enormous blind spot that Clinton-love has nurtured.

Do you even UNDERSTAND that BCCI matters left unscrutinized led directly to the return of Bush2? Led directly to what happened on 9-11? Is leading us directly into war with Iran?

Did you ever even READ the outstanding matters section of that report handed to Clinton when he took office?

Jump on a corruption thread, sunshine. Try the INSLAW thread in GD. Argue with the DOCUMENTS posted there.

[Dogmudgeon]

59. Been there. Read that.

I had a friend who likewise hated Bill Clinton with a white-hot intensity. I've been reading this dreck over and over since the early 1990s. And all it is, is guilt by loose association and "everybody knows". You could use that principle to hang the Dalai Lama if you tried -- ask the Chinese government.

And that's the second time you've called me "sunshine". It's getting creepy. I'm not sure what's motivating that, but I'm not a woman.

--p!

[blm]

60. I knew you weren't a woman. I am. But this is MORE than association. This is

direct.

Jackson Stephens was a key figure in BCCI who brought (Dubai and Pakistan's)BCCI bank to this country w/GHWBush.

Jackson Stephens was also Bill Clinton's political patron in Arkansas and UNDERWROTE Bill's primary campaign.

GHWBush expected to be impeached after the BCCI report's release in Dec 1992, and he proceeded to run the worst campaign in history.

Bill was handed the BCCI report when he took office. What happened? If he was an honest president who believed in accountability as you believe, then show me in his book where he explains how he dealt with all the outstanding matters in that report.

You should have no trouble at all. It was a 5 1/2 year investigation that was HUGE - so there should be plenty for a new Dem president to deal with, right?

And do you think ANY president even remotely familiar with BCCI and its impact on events around the world like 9-11, should accept MILLIONS of dollars from its owners?

[Dogmudgeon]

22. Which racist comments were those?

:shrug:

He's made none.

Ergo, you are telling a lie. Please stop.

--p!

[blm]

27. South Carolina? Oh you know ...Jesse Jackson won South Carolina.....

The turnip truck missing a passenger lately?

Every political watcher knew exactly what Clinton was saying when he said that. That SC is easily dismissed BECAUSE the black population will support ANY black candidate. And Bill wanted to make sure that point was HEARD.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

34. Yt you like MSNBC's sexist stuff? No principles? FIGURES!

[blm]

50. Nope. Don't support sexist. Don't support racist. Don't support FASCISTS and Bushlovers.

Too bad you can't say the same, can you?

[Dogmudgeon]

36. You mean the ones Obama said were NOT racist?

Political wonks agree: The two primaries (actually 1988 was a caucus) were uncannily similar. Dukakis and Jackson got the same proportion of the votes as did Clinton and Obama. The demographic voting patterns were surprisingly alike.

But the press decided they wanted to get the "f**k Hillary" bandwagon going, so they accused Bill of racism.

And you believed it.

--p!

[blm]

58. You believe Bushes need protecting so you support Clintons.

Jump on a corruption thread. Learn something. There's one in GD right now - INSLAW.

[maximusveritas]

12. He already apologized. Why would we want him gone

when he's one of the few media people on the side of the Democrats? So they can replace him with Rove or some other RW nut? I don't think so.

[bunnies]

17. "they" seem to be ignoring this fact.

shocking eh?

[alstephenson]

33. He's not "on the side of the Democrats".

He's just a better, less biased reporter than most. I wouldn't want to lose his perspective, either.

[Catchawave]

14. We lost Schuster??!!1?

Not a good sign :cry:

[mojowork_n]

25. OMG, When Mika and Joe are all kissy face in the morning, getting

carried away with themselves, and their own importance, he's the grown-up. The News Reporter, not the News Personality.

...But WAIT! I said, "kissy face..." and put Mika's name in front of Joe's. Oops... Which probably makes my comment sexist, as well.

[Catchawave]

31. Yep, MSNBC has jumped the shark...infotainment to infoporn....

I almost miss Imus more :silly:

[nutsnberries]

29. oh gimme a break!

the guy looked like he was gonna cry in shame when he apologized.

my only problem with schuster is that he seems to respect tweety - which pisses me off. :banghead:

[countingbluecars]

32. I hope you were this outraged

when the media refused to cover or gave biased coverage of the crimes committed by the Bush administration. I hope you contacted them then. This seems pretty minor in comparison.

[Marie26]

38. Disagree

He's a good reporter. But I agree that the "apology" was pathetic.

[skooooo]

40. Imus is back on the air - radio and tv.

And I'm glad.

[bcoylepa]

45. bad taste - free speech

look it was way in bad taste - but we need now more than ever to support free speech
and as much as I hate to say so - it isn't that far from John Stewart calling Romney a douchebag last night- its politics/entertainment and she is an adult and can stand up for herself

[truebrit71]

46. CALM THE FUCK DOWN...it was an off the cuff remark that was ill-advised...

...fuck me sideways, should we crucify him too??:eyes:

You fucking Hilltards are driving me around the bend...:grr:

CALM THE FUCK DOWN SHE IS NOT FUCKING ROYALTY!!!

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

48. BOOM! HE GOT HIS!

[Bigleaf]

47. All you people crying for Schuster to go need to take a deep breath and

Wake the Fuck up!!! The guy made a mistake and apologized. This primary will be over soon and you will be praising him for calling out the BS the Pubs spew at us. Holy shit, I am an Obama supporter and I'd say the same thing if it was directed at Obama's daughter. Yeah, let's get rid of one of the 2 people (Olbermann is the other) who we depend on to call the right wing on their BS. Be very careful what you wish for.

[Hobarticus]

49. Regardless of your candidate....

It is time for the MSM to learn that there's a new sheriff in town, and this kind of off-the-cuff obnoxious comment is no longer acceptable.

No matter who wins the nom, the MSM needs to learn some fucking manners, ricky-ticky. Shock-jock bullshit is NOT legitimate political discourse.

I'm all for it.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

63. Thanks!

[tokenlib]

55. Better get the POSSE and go HANG the guy!!!

Cut his balls off while you're at it too!!!

[bluestdogest]

57. Schuster is classless, but we have become a classless society.

Unfortunately, his comments are typical of what passes for commentary in this day and age.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

61. I so totally agree.

Shuster's such a media whore.

[otohara]

62. Nope, Not Gonna Do It

David Schuster is a good guy, he's not a Don Imus. Rarely does this man ever make a mistake in his reporting, he is articulate and accurate. He's on our side, remember?

Clinton's are pimping out their daughter. If this race is decided by superdelegates, I won't vote!

God this place sucks lately.
