1. That bleached blonde crow just never shuts up,
has the most irritating voice on the planet, and is remarkably wrong about everything.

I made it halfway through.

31. I can get behind that assessment
Palin has a voice than makes my brains bleed every time I hear it.

15. The voice is awful!
What a terrible interviewer she is - never lets her guest speak. Like O'Reilly, she only has people on so she can express her views. These shows could save a lot of money by using dummies instead of live guests.

2. Never really cared for old Christopher Hitchens...but I despise the blond bitch so much more.
Good jab..."you must have me on more often so you can tell me your point of view". Well said.

I was wondering how long he was going to take this blond witch yelling over his response and points. What a bitch.

Wake up America. palin is probably the best example of just how desperate and ridiculous mcSame has become. Loser!! Nada!! This "lipstick'd pig" is a big fat zero on qualifications for the White House.

I wouldn't waste my time listening to the evil witch's radio show. Catching clips of the propaganda network, a place so many brain dead go to "get their news" is worth keeping up on. Her radio show is a flow of shit, and I wouldn't boost her ratings by being a listener there...no matter who she has on.

Christopher Hitchens has finally seen the light. Damn good thing the bitch shut him up, or he might have connected with a few of the propaganda sheeple.

As Keith Olbermann put it "belch as loudly as possible into the Republican echo chamber" and talk over everyone.

4. her cross is just rude
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 11:52 AM by CitizenPatriot
in its largeness...but then, I was raised as a Presbyterian and we were told not to display our faith in such vulgar ways as it diminished the privacy and thoughtfulness of faith in general. Her cross seems indicative of her problem; her failure to conduct herself with reason, her inability to think clearly and rationally -- as it seems to represent the growing movement of McCarthy-ites/Fascists/Radical Fundies.

My issue with this person is her "argument" that Obama supporters are worse than McKKKain supporters. She makes this flimsy argument based on claiming that the cries at McKKKain rallies are false-- they have been disproven, a sweeping conclusion based on, I suppose, the SS determining that no one yelled "kill him". We all heard this on the video, so I can't give her this point. but even if that one thing were true, that would not and does not disprove the rest of the rallies, clearly documented on tape.

Now, then she uses "websites" as her proof that Obama supporters are worse.

Dear Ingraham or whoever you are, please study up on false equivalencies. You are not comparing apples to apples. A rally is a rally and a website is a website. What is the difference? The candidate is at their own rallies and as such, has control over the crowd, if they are indeed a leader.

Now, if we want to compare your side's websites with the left's, I'll take you on! Let's see, in the past week, we've had how many of the extreme radical right's websites closed down, censured, etc for McCarthyistic, racist material? and how many left side websites were closed, censured, etc???? Yeah, right. ZERO.

Rallies: Obama tells his crowd to not even boo McKKKain.

McKKKain and Palin go on about "anti-Americanism" "terrorists- pallin around with", etc. Their crowds yell "terrorist!" "off with his head" etc and neither candidate calls them out on it. They fan these flames of hatred and division in a manner reminiscent of Fascist's rallies from Nazi Germany.

case closed.

You are irrelevant and ridiculous in your shrill, illogical ideology. You are not a reporter. You are a Propagandist.

Sincerely,

A real patriot

It's my way of calling out the GOP with every post; kind of an inside joke with myself.

11. Someone on TV finally said. McCain DOES seem to have lost his sharpness of mind.
"My fellow prisoners"
He said in last debate O's tax plan would tax small businesses, and seemed genuinely surprised when O said it wouldn't. This exchange had just happened in their LAST debate, and McCain didn't seem to remember.

Confusing Sunni with Shi'ites.

Losing his train of thought on the stump.

Agreeing to the gimmicky things in his campaign that someone has told him to do.

And on and on. McCain is not the same man he once was.

14. What a harpie.
She is a prime example of someone who thinks if they speak the loudest and don't allow a response, or change the subject when a challenging question is asked that they win the debate.

It is hard to find a person Hitchens hardly gets a word in edgewise against, but she surely is that example.

19. That is what they do all the time
they talk over people all the time. I think all of the smart people should quit showing up on their programs totally. Let them interview themselves. And when on other shows when they start talking over people, they all should get up and leave leaving the hosts like Larry King to have to just sit there and get angry until they finally start telling them to behave responsibly.

Hahahahahaha....I couldn't get through it. Hitchens is a person who cannot put up with nonsense, and Laura is all nonsense. It shoulda been entertaining, but it's not because ultimately, who cares what either of them think? One with his head in the clouds and the other with her head in the sand.

I'll go watch SpongeBob instead. More interesting and fun.

Ha! She wouldn't have it any other way- she's almost as big a tool as the pig man is.

What where they talking about? I'd say the bigger idiot was over-talking a littler idiot who's probably in a 12 step program now for jumping off the right end of the pier with a bottle of scotch.

26. Sitting in??????????/
She is O'Liely. She could do what she did with an empty chair
in front of her.
What she is attempting to defend - that McCain is presidential
material and,
even less defensible, Palin is VP material, boggles the mind.

When McCain says he "will get bin Laden - I know how to
do it", why has not anyone called him on it? When he says
"I know how to win wars", why has not he been called
on that?

When the likes of O'Liely, Ingraham, and others of their ilk
spout their nonsense on and in their own forums, they are
'preaching to the choir'. Their listeners don't need any more
convincing. 

Here is an idea. They should mount a campaign that takes them
into the bowels of their enemies they hate so much and make
their case. What? They are afraid they will be forced to
listen to constant interruptions, talked over, criticized for
their views, asked questions that will neither will nor can be
answered? Are they afraid they will be screamed at to shut up,
their mikes will be turned off, they will be insulted, they
will not be able to lie, lie and lie some more with impunity?
When is someone going to tell O'Liely to stop pointing his
finger at their face or face having it broken? When is someone
going to tell him to shut up? When, oh when, is someone of the
democratic persuasion going to realize communication takes
place during discourse if both parties are speaking the same
language? Any of us can turn the other cheek, but I, and a lot
of others I know, prefer to deliver a response when it is
called for. If turning the other cheek fails to bring out the
'Jesus' in the other guy, try putting your fist in his mouth
as hard as you can. Give him the opportunity to turn the other
cheek. 

I do, occasionally, listen to a few minutes of the right wing
nonsense, but only because it might contain clues that I can
use to defend myself against
their hate campaigns that are designed to bring down America
in their cluelessness. It is hard to stomach, but since I
don't hate America or Americans, it is necessary.
