I know I shouldn't watch ... but Buchanan said Feingold is 'uncharismatic'

[Sugarcoated]

In comparing her to Hilary Clinton. WTF??? I'm sorry, but Hilary has nothing on Feingold, or for that matter Gore or Clark. Fucking MSM and that slimey Chris Matthews. He thinks it's a hoot to demonize Democrats. I wish I could stop watching but I seem to be addicted or something.
:mad: :mad: :mad:

[NYCGirl]

1. Wait a minute. Did Buchanan say it or did Matthews? NT

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Is Buchanan thinking of becoming a standup comedian?

[0007]

22. Probably have better success than acting like an idiot.

[stray cat]

3. I'll take courage and competent anyday

[ChickMagic]

4. Oh, my. He's one to talk.

Pot meet kettle.

I love me some Feingold. He gets the same look on his face when
the nutbars start spouting goo that I do.

[MoonRiver]

5. All the Pukes say this about Feingold.

It signals their paralyzing fear of an absolutely awesome human being and political leader.

[stellanoir]

6. Feingold is an ace.

Gore's great for the environment and Clark is great for the military.

Feingold is great for the Constitution. Which is more imprortant? Tough call.

[FrenchieCat]

17. I think that Gore, Clark and Feingold are all great for

the constitution and what it stands for.....(although I also think that Impeachment is better and more appropos than censure in the case of Bush's offenses)....

So at the end of the day, All three of these Dems are important in having their voices heard by the American people...in particular at this time in our history.

The more voices the better, IMO, with not one being "better or more important" than the other....because I think that we need each of them, each in their own special way!

[Chimichurri]

7. when they don't have a leg to stand on - they pull out the

"dull" card. They did it to Gore, Kerry and now the honorable Feingold.

It's a distraction that seems to always work for them. I hope people don't fall for it this time.

[Faygo Kid]

8. It's OK. You watch because you must be aware, and that's admirable.

Tweety grows more schizophrenic by the day; he has demonstrated unequivocally that he has no core except his own inside-the-beltway cleverness. He and Russert could both disappear and we would all be the better for it. Time to chase Tweety out of the house.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. pat buchanan?

And, to this meager minded little piece of pond scum, is the measure of charisma... him?



Please tell me I have the wrong buchanan.

[Sugarcoated]

13. It's THE Pat Buchanan

I swear sometimes I agree with him, actually most of his crit of Bush tonight and then he says something so totally off. I knew it couldn't last.

[Sugarcoated]

10. Buchanan said it (second time) in the last week

and you'd think the Dem strategist would have had something to say about it, but you know how Matthews is. Big sloppy grin, lets it stand. I got the impression he agreed with it, he pushs Hilary Clinton with glee, the MSM WANTS it to be her, is complicit with the Repub party because it would be such a juicy race. He's a typical drooling hack "journalist".

[dchill]

11. Ooh! The kiss of death, from the "King of Charisma"...

The pundidiocy would really rather have whoever the Republican candidate is run against Hillary than Feingold, or Clark, or Kerry, or...

They are trying very hard - and have been for months - to get us to pick the Democratic candidate who can lose to McCain, or Jeb, or (a little candidate-picking of my own) Condi.

We'll pick our own candidate, thank you.

[Fridays Child]

12. This, from a former presidential candidate with all the charisma of a...

...dirty sock? :rofl:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

29. A FASCIST dirty sock. I sometimes wonder whether dude single handedly

torpedoed the shrub sr. campaign with his chilling "culture war" speech at the 1992 Houston Repub Convention, the one Molly Ivins said would have read better in the original German.

Sad thing is, that kind of rhetoric seems almost mild now.

Pat B. often says the right thing about the Iraq War IMO. But he's still a Repub snake.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.

[Sugarcoated]

15. I get panicky after how they mercilessly slandered Gore in 2000

And to some extent, Kerry. I don't know how much of this sticks. And though I don't want Hilary as prez, it angers me greatly when they slam her. She must be one of the most demonized women in the history of our country.

[SoCalDem]

16. That's code-speak" for Jewish..n/t

[Sugarcoated]

18. Seriously?

Maybe I'm a little too literal, but dull is not a word that comes to mind when I think of my Jewish friends. Or well known people. I don't get it.

[SoCalDem]

21. Buchanan and lots of people like him

have said similar things..During the 2K election they said stuff like that about Lieberman...just skirting the stereotypical stuff about Jews. They knew they could not "get away with" saying what they thought, but came right up to the edge.

[Canuckistanian]

19. Ouch! That hurt.

Now, what else ya got, Buchanan? Russ is lousy dancer?

[Sugarcoated]

20. Shrubya and his speeches??

Does the word "charisma" come to mind when you watch him in action? Not even his most devoted fans have ever called him charismatic.

[Inland]

23. And Hitler was charismatic. Guess which Pat models himself after?

If one remembers that Pat is a failed politician that got a significant part of the republican presidential delegates, and gave a convention speech that Molly Ivins said should be given some slack because "it sounded better in the original German", one should realize this is a huge compliment.

[bluem]

24. dog in the manger

Yes, "uncharismatic" and the "dog in the manger"! I could imagine Pat pulling the uncharismatic thing, but can someone please explain the whole Russ = dog in the manger comment that happened right after?

[Sugarcoated]

25. And did you notice

the Dem strategist there didn't understand it either, and Matthews tried to make him look like a dummy on national TV? What a dique! Worse, the guy took it.

[Sugarcoated]

27. I googled it

Dog in the manger

Meaning

Spiteful and mean spirited.

Origin

Like the proverbial dog who slept in a manger not because he wanted to eat the hay there but to prevent the other animals from doing so.

[Cleita]

26. Pat Buchanan should look in the mirror first before he

makes allegations that describe himself.

[leftchick]

28. I am a married forty something mother of two and Russ....

makes my pants wet! There I said it! His liberalism and compassion is a huge part of the attraction.

:blush:

[Sugarcoated]

30. Heehee, you got it

That might just get past old dusty Pat.

[Greybnk48]

31. When Feingold ran for the first time for the Senate in Wisconsin

he used a video camera and filmed his own campaign ads mocking the other candidates for spending so much money (and having so much money). As I recall they were hilarious and everyone was buzzing about them. He came across as smart and HUMBLE, the antithesis of the rest of these arrogant asses. I hope he does something unique and clever again. His first campaign was devastating for the repugs.

[Sugarcoated]

32. I've been saying that over and over

If he can translate that into a national campaign, he'd be a force to reckon with. Not that he isn't already.
