404-827-0234 !! Call Now!
Why is it that protesters at McCain/Palin rallies are never ever seen on CNN? They never do a freeze frame during their speeches to make sure that everybody has a chance to see it and then take the time to discuss it afterwards. I promised myself just yesterday that I would stop watching CNN, now this is the final straw! Fuck CNN! I'm sick of it now! I left them a nice message because I couldn't wait for a real person to answer.

2. Thanks..it really is making me sick. So what some idiots were
there with signs? Why are you giving them publicity because they are black. I'm black and I say fuck em! You have the right to protest but why all the camera time?

real unless it's white-on-black ...

So, since "black on black" violence is not reported, maybe these "Blacks Against Obama" can be identified, and some b on b violence might be called for ... just enough to get their attention ...

3. I'm not sure you can blame CNN. I think the RNC thugs snag
any possible protestor before they ever get INTO one of their campaigns! Look at what they did in St. Paul!

4. I was watching CNN and after they did a freeze frame to try
and read the signs. I've never seen that done before. Why?..because they are black protesters?

5. I called to tell them that I already could guess that they were going to
focus on that ridiculous groups of protestors against Obama that occurred today....and to spare me the outrage of being forced to witness such ridiculous garbage, I was just not going to watch.

Told them that I might resume watching when I "hear" that they have joined the reality based society that it is supposed to be doing a service for Americans....and when they started discussing the issues for real, instead of concentrating on propping up that sad specimen of a candidate, John McCain and his untalented Veep "Country last" choice.

No other information was reported.
