[MadBadger]

1. MSNBC is staying with it too

[knixphan]

2. I can't get it - someone fill me in!

[Zachstar]

3. Wow looks like some protestors got in!

[countingbluecars]

I like that she

didn't kiss ass either. She started right in with the tough direct questions.

[Beaverhausen]

4. now I'm pissed., The Code Pink people are interrupting

of all people to interrupt?!?! Sheesh!

[olkaz]

10. I've been sick of Code Pink for a loooong time

I think a lot of their antics are not helpful.

Plus Sheehan meeting with Chavez and threatening to run against Pelosi didn't win me over.

Has anybody ever actually looked at what Sheehan really believes? She sounds waaaay more like Ron Paul than you'd ever imagine.

[NewHampshireDem]

20. Anyone else you care to slander

before you go?

[olkaz]

23. Care to prove me wrong? On any of it?

[NewHampshireDem]

44. So fucking what?

She met with Chavez? What's your point, other than Bush, Rush, and the rest of the right-wing bigots don't like him?

Go back under your bridge. Or at least point me to a post of yours where you actually say something *positive* about any democrat. I dare you.

[olkaz]

45. Couldn't you have just tried to prove I slandered her?

My point is that you said I slandered her, and nothing I said was untrue. You had a chance to support your outlandish claim and instead, you're claiming Chavez is just getting a bad rap. That's called changing the subject.

And just to be clear, Cindy Sheehan is not a Democrat.

http://www.counterpunch.org/sheehan05282007.html

I'm sorry my posts don't measure up to some sort of positivity level that you have set for me. If it makes you feel any better, there are a lot of Democrats that I like.

My favorites: Russ Feingold, Brian Schweitzer, Jon Tester, Bill Richardson, John Edwards, Barbara Boxer, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I like Obama for President, but he was not my first choice.

Darcy Burner, Al Franken, and Ned Lamont are my favorite currently unelected Democrats.

So, go ahead and try to paint me as some sort of troll, but disliking Cindy Sheehan doesn't require me to turn in my party membership and start listening to reich-wing radio. And I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

33. I'll never forget that idiot from Code Pink making a scene while Valerie Plame was testifying.

What was all over the news and the late night shows afterwards? Plame's cogent and compelling testimony? Nope. The goofball in a tiara mugging for the camera was all anyone cared about.

War is a serious matter. People who protest against it should keep that in mind if they want to be taken seriously. I've stopped attending the ones in my area because I got so tired of the sideshow.

[DearAbby]

[Zachstar]

6. Wow she is kicking ass!

The Iran point kicks ass!!

[Beaverhausen]

7. "after all we have done, the Iraqi leader kisses the Iranian leader

and our president has to sneak into the country"

GO BOXER!!!

[redqueen]

13. She'd make a great president.

IMO...

[tekisui]

12. Boxer VP 2008!!!

[Zachstar]

15. I agree.

First time I have seen her give such a smackdown on BS. I think she will be a GREAT VP!!

[Zachstar]

14. She kicked his ass.

Boxer gave a huge hit to this whole deal that Iraq is good or whatever.

[Beaverhausen]

17. Hey- keep watching. Voinovich is also kicking ass

[JimGinPA]

19. No Shit! He Just Said The Next President Might Be Sitting Here...

Pointing to Obama, and then lit into their asses. Wow!

[slick8790]

18. Yeah, I saw that. Awesome stuff.

Voinovich is actually impressing me here. Never thought I'd say that.

[Zachstar]

21. EVERYONE OBAMA IS ON NOW!!

[quantass]

22. OBAMA ON!!

[Zachstar]

24. Obama is doing great tho Boxer kicked ass.

[TTUBatfan2008]

25. Boxer always kicks ass...

I wish SHE had been the woman running instead of Hillary.

[Zachstar]

29. I agree. It would be EXTREMLY difficult to pick between the two.

[JimGinPA]

30. Obama Drove His Point Home Though...

He left the ambassador red-faced and whipped looking.

[Zachstar]

34. They both did.

The ambassador needs to be replaced BTW. WTF is with this guy?

[knixphan]

26. yeah - watching them in action

makes Obama/Boxer look a helluva lot more dreamtikkety than anything...

[Zachstar]

28. Yes after seeing this I prefer her to even Richardson.

We need a VP that can stand up and call out BS like she can.

[DerekJ]

27. He stumped "Crook"

[wrando]

31. big deal

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

bill from ct

[knixphan]

32. Plus, 'Obama/Boxer' makes a great T-shirt.

[JimGinPA]

35. Even Better Underwear Probably

:rofl:

[knixphan]

38. lol!

[TahitiNut]

36. Petraeus actually showed respect for Obama's focus.

As a military man, he should ... since any military commander MUST understand that a MISSION includes a measurable OBJECTIVE. An "end point." The conditions that would meet ANY definable objective have never yet been stated.

It's a "mission" without a strategic objective ... death for NOTHING but more DEATH.

[TTUBatfan2008]

37. Boxer for VP? I love that idea!

After 8 years of a creepy, controlling old guy in the VP spot, I think a strong-willed, honest, and decent woman would be a hell of a lot better than simply getting another old guy. And yes, I realize there are plenty of old guy Democrats that are decent and honest people, but Boxer would be even better and would be a great contrast to the past 8 years.

[knixphan]

39. Hillary supporters would get behind a ticket with BB, right?

She could still be a history-maker in '16 after 8 years of Veeping. Within 8 years, two presidential glass ceilings broken, and constitution restored...

[Zachstar]

42. That is a GREAT IDEA!!!

Think about it people! You think Boxer is going to take any crap from republicans? After 8 years of dealing with their crap she can run and easily beat their candidate (After they rejected Ron Paul it is extremely hard to see how they can get a viable candidate) Then we can have democrats in office well into the 2020s!!

[DerekJ]

40. 250K a day to buy the resistance!!!

[DerekJ]

41. Ok, I get this... So they are thinking, we might at the end need another dictator to control the

Iraqi mess.


I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.

[BeyondGeography]

43. Both reactions are entiely appropriate under the circumstances
