Round table on Tweety: Assassination a win for Clinton and McCain

[book_worm]

of course they didn't put it so crudely but that's the point.

[mtnester]

1. Yes they did, and Tweety admitted it twice

shameless...Pat Robertson started it

[TwilightGardener]

2. Sick--but, whatever. The media has to make its pronouncements, whether

there's any truth to it or not.

[DemKR]

5. Double standard alert. That's sick, but

Axelrod coming out blaming Hillary for her death isn't? Gosh you don't need to be too obvious

[TwilightGardener]

9. Axelrod didn't blame Hillary for Bhutto's death. You might be able

to fool other people with your bullshit, but not me.

[madrchsod]

16. axlerod should have said no comment or

obama has made his statement. really dumb thing to do at this time and of course he did`t blame hillary directly

[TwilightGardener]

23. He answered a reporter's question about whether or not Bhutto's death

would help Hillary. He said, no, and here's why. Nothing wrong with it.

[DemKR]

3. Hillary was the only one not politicizing it, that's why if anything

[K Gardner]

12. God, stop stop stop already ! You jump into every thread and do the same damned thing.. enough !

Can you just stop?

[juajen]

32. There is no rule preventing poster from commenting in any thread

he/she chooses. Agitated, are we?

[Deja Q]

4. How is McCain gaining momentum?

Has he been paying people to pick lettuce for $50/hr?

[TwilightGardener]

14. Because he's been in the Senate for a really long time--therefore, he's

a statesman somehow.

[spanone]

6. i think you framed it just about right

[K Gardner]

7. Nora: "Who Benefits from This?" exact quote. I think they're all wetting themselves

trying to rachet this up and directly into the campaigns. We are so screwed. Your words are very apropos... crude

Matthews: "Clinton and McCain are looking good tonight."

Because a woman, a hero to her people, was assassinated.

[TwilightGardener]

18. They are making WAYYYYY too much political hay out of this. All of the

candidates (save maybe Richardson) had appropriate responses. I guess the media needs something to masturbate over, and to manipulate the primaries with.

[K Gardner]

24. Making a "cow pile" where there is none, as the journalist with Edwards' campaign would say.

[Dhalgren]

8. That is obscene. Hoping that this tragedy makes the US population

fearful enough to want a continuation of the Bush regime (in the guise of Clinton or McCain) is just sick. I only hope that the US population is not so stupid as to be led in that direction...

[madrchsod]

10. win what?

it was a political assassination not a "terrorist attack". why would either of them gain anything?

[durrrty libby]

11. Now where are all those people who recently garnered new respect

for Matthews? Will they show up?:think:


umm Matthews just said Obama looked like he was more concerned with

his pronunciation of Pakistan than the assassination .Ouch!

[gateley]

26. I've liked Chris Matthews all along, but that has been fading fast, recently. nt

[lapfog_1]

13. Biden has been the one talking about the dangers of supporting

a dictator in Pakistan, not Hillary, not McCain.

[gateley]

29. You're right. He brought it up in a debate a while back.

It wasn't even a "topic" at that time. I was thinking "REALLY? Pakistan? Why haven't we heard about this before?"

Pretty impressive.

[Lucinda]

15. They are taking Obama and Edwards apart right now

[book_worm]

19. yeah one of them (I couldn't hear which one they were referring to) they thought

was more interested with saying "Pakistan" correctly.

[Lucinda]

27. Welll...they talked about her sincerity, that Obama seemed cold and

that Edwards and Obama were off their game. Or something like that.

[madrchsod]

20. why?

because they do`t have anything else to say?

[Lucinda]

25. It's Tweety. He salivates over whoever he thinks has the legup for the day.

Today he likes Hillary. This too will change.

[gaiilonfong]

17. I can't wait until they are proven WRONG

I want to see their faces on election night when St McCain doesn't get crap!

[tom_paine]

21. To be quite honest, we should deport all our Cable TV "pundits" to Commie China

I think their incisive brand of political commentary would be most welcome there.

And they wouldn't have to change a thing except who they toady to with their nonsense.

They fit right in among the Top Party Officials there.

Has there ever been such a nauseating carnival circus of clowns as the Imperial Punditocracy?

[C_U_L8R]

22. "blah blah blah"

tweety's on a roll...
and the whole discussion is quite ridiculous

[TwilightGardener]

28. They're not even dealing with fact--they're just promoting the stereotyped

images of the candidates. Bhutto dies, McCain and Hillary suddenly equal strong and knowledgable leaders who will keep us safe. Bizarre. Hillary had a good response to the tragedy. So did Obama. So did Edwards, and Biden. Once again, pundits are trying to shape the race as they see it.

[gateley]

30. It's all a GAME. Who made the best MOVE. Who gets to ADVANCE... nt

[TwilightGardener]

33. Yep, has nothing to do with true qualifications or what's in our national interests.

Just a game, a fun horse race. Just like in 2000 and 2004.

[Perry Logan]

31. They should be taken out and whupped.

[doc03]

34. Don't forget Rudy!
