Just saw KO on the West Coast. I don't think he was attacking Clinton as much as he was pleading

[Pushed To The Left]

with her to get as far away from Geraldine Ferraro and racial politics as humanly possible. I got the impression that he likes Hillary Clinton but is disappointed with some of the things that have been happening. He did attack Ferraro, but I think she deserves it for the insensitive comments she has made. I read earlier today that Hillary Clinton did recently reject Ferraro's comments, and I'm glad to hear it.

1. He really was attacking the likes of Mark Penn, Maggie Williams, and Howard Wolfson.

[Ravy]

2. I think so, too. Caught it on the 12am east coast feed.

Missed it the first time because I left to post about a lie he told earlier.

I am wondering if her elaborated response to the AP tonight was in reaction to it.

3. That's exactly what he was doing... pleading with her!. n/t

[AZBlue]

4. Exactly!

He was actually giving her excellent advice.

5. He was telling her campaign, "Don't triangulate on race, please!"

[writes3000]

6. He condemned her campaign. And he begged her to stop THEM.

I was kind of moved by it, honestly.

7. Oh blah. He not only was attacking Hillary -- he specifically attacked supporters of Hillary.

He used the Ferraro incident to insult her for everything the campaign has done, including things not remotely related to the Ferarro incident. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but when he actually specifically attacked Hillary *supporters*, and when he tried to make the 3am ad sound racist (a view that all Obama supporters on the MSM found laughable), that was when I lost him.

So sad that such a great liberal anchor has become nothing more than a political hack. It was clear tonight that he has been itching to give a special comment like this for months, and he just happened to get his opportunity tonight.

8. Did you even watch the clip?

Pleading does not equal attacking.

[BzaDem]

10. I watched the entire clip.

I wouldn't have posted otherwise.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Xactly, he was being honest

and I know partisans for both sides are trying to score points here

[SeattleGirl]

11. That was the impression I had too. n/t

[housewolf]

12. That's how I heard it too

Like he was trying to get a message to Hillary to save herself from the dirty politics of racism.

[johnnydrama]

13. yup

That was a TV intervention if I ever saw one.
