you're going to go back to hating Cafferty again.
Edited on Wed May-31-06 05:06 PM by Gabi Hayes
At least I am. He really launched on McKinney today in email questions, ending by LAUGHING at the last email

subject was: why is the Grand Jury taking so long in reaching a decision on her case?

the last email: something like this....it's taking so long because they're trying to figure out if she should be indicted for impersonating a congresswoman

and he LAUGHED at that, in obvious agreement!

all other emails, save one, were equally snide, obnoxious, racist.

the one email that disagreed asked him somethinga about why he was bringing this up again; perhaps to make all black democrats look bad, in light of the Jefferson investigation.

his response to that: Get a life!

I'd have asked just the first part: why are you bringing this up at ALL, when you have a plea from Tom Noe, for example, who admitted that he directed illegal contributions to the Bush campaign?

what a fricking DICKhead.....

he LAUGHED at the last email

laughed

1. and I don't care WHAT your position is on her contretemps, his
smug, smirking behavior, and the emails he chose were just nauseating

straight out of freeperville

as soon as a transcript comes up, I'll put them here, and you'll see what I mean


he really has a bug up his ass over her....I remember another time he just laid into her, but this time he was WAY over the top with his attitude. very unprofessional

5. he's back into the stupid dick file for me.
sometimes he punches some good ones to those deserving in the misadministration, but shit like this takes away any bloody good from some things he's done positive.

jack you, fuck.

3. The case is in the grand jury? Why?
My guess as to why it's "taking so long" is because it's an irrelevant case and wholly without merit.

8. He pissed me off too. With all the other issues going on he has
to focus on McKinney - guess she makes easy news for him. We like him & Dobbs now, but if a Dem is elected as Prez they will be going after them with a vengance. At least they are nailing Bush for now.

9. Being honest doesn't mean C afferty will always agree with us.
I'm satisfied that Cafferty is saying what he really believes these days.

That is such a hueueuege improvement over most talking heads that I'm comfortable with him, no matter what he says.

10. honest? that's funny!
this was one of the most disingenuous, dishonest (if you will) presentations I've seen on CNN in awhile, and that's saying something

the only honest thing about it was his revelation of just how big an Ahole he is, and what an interesting agenda he's pushing

11. here's the first part of the transcript, in which Cafferty cites some
squeeb from the Fraternal Order of Police....wonder where that group's bread is buttered....




JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Remember Cynthia McKinney? She's the Georgia congresswoman who is accused of assaulting a Capitol Police officer last March. After making the TV rounds for a week, claiming the whole thing was "much ado about a hairdo," McKinney sort of apologized for the whole thing.

But that's almost two months ago. And since then, a grand jury has been investigating this case.

The U.S. Attorney's office has indicated a decision is likely to be announced within the next week or two. But officials insist no final decision has been made.

Meanwhile, the newspaper "Roll Call" reported police officials have expressed frustration over how long the process is taking and how the case is being handled. Jim Pasco, the executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, said this, "This is not the Manson murders, this is a simple assault case with numerous witnesses and the statement of a police officer. The only thing that distinguishes this case from cases all over the country every single day of the year was that the alleged perpetrator was a congresswoman."

So here's the question. Why is it taking so long to get a decision from the grand jury in the case of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney?






now....the emails

CAFFERTY: Wolf, it's been over two months since Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was accused of assaulting a Capitol Hill police officer. And ever since then, a grand jury has been investigating this case, trying to figure out whether or not to indict her. The question is why is it taking so long to get a decision out of this grand jury in the case of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney?

Alex in North Carolina writes, "The grand jury is trying not to let policy, politics, race or the law get in the way of a just decision. So we may never be hearing back from them."

Theodore writes, "What's behind your bringing this up? Are you now looking into the affairs of all elected African-American officials in light of the William Jefferson case to make any and all African- Americans look bad?"

Get a life, Theodore.

Ron in Princeton, Minnesota: "Let's be honest. The case is being handled with kid gloves because the woman is black. End of investigation. In our quest to make all people equal, we've gotten around to the old 'some people are more equal than others,' with brownie points for past offenses to ancestors they don't even remember."

Mike in Pasadena, California: "People say there are two systems of justice: one for the rich, one for the poor. Well, there's a third: a criminal justice system for Democrats in the U.S. Congress, which looks the other way or drags its feet when a crime is committed. Just ask Ms. McKinney or Patrick Kennedy."

John in Dallas: "The reason for the delay in resolving this 'assault' case can be described by the two most obscene words in our culture today: political correctness."

And Alan in Charlotte, North Carolina: "The only possible reason for taking this long to charge Ms. McKinney is that the grand jury must also be considering charging her with impersonating a congresswoman" -- Wolf.





too bad they didn't include Cafferty's laughing response to the final email....dick

12. "Honest" Jack Cafferty is being used as a SHILL for the Bush
administration, apparently.

is he doing it knowingly, or is he just your typical lazy, pisspoor journalist? you know, the kind CNN uniformly employs?

what am I talking about?

here's your Fraternal Order of Police, whence the impetus for this BS email segment originates

13. He's a cranky iconoclast -- Sometimes ours, Sometimes theirs
That's the nature of a cranky iconoclast. Doesn;t fall into anyone's camp. Pisses off one side one day, the otehr side the next day.

14. he's a cranky, dishonest PIMP for the bush junta
Edited on Wed May-31-06 07:52 PM by Gabi Hayes
spouting puke from a group that endorsed the illegal regime, to what end?


why did he feel the need to push RW propaganda, out of all the other topics he could have chosen?

huh?

15. He goes after the GOP as hard as anyone
If he's a GOP shill, then the GOP better fire him.

Just because he chooses to highlight an issue that rubs you the wrong way, doesn't make him automatically a pimp for the other side.

s I said above, he's an equal opportunity offender. Unless you want a reverse form of Conservative Foxism, then you have to be intellectually honest and accept that a loose cannon like Cafferty will hit you sometimes.

16. He's not really for Republicans either
He's done a lot of bashing of Bush and Republicans, more than he has done of Democrats.
