Kellyanne Conway

Last edited Fri Aug 19, 2016, 07:34 AM - Edit history (1)

always struck me as a hateful and dishonest person who twisted events into her own convenient facts and who lived and breathed on a deranged hatred of all things Clinton.

Everywhere in the media today people were singing her praises and commenting on her wonderfulness.

Somtimes I don't get the world and I feel like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree.

I suspect that what is seen as negative coverage is that Mitchell is bending backwards to be "neutral" - falling into the trap that some things really are not two sided.

Mitchell traveled with Clinton while Secretary of State and was generally positive. When HRC stepped down, Mitchell's summary of her term was very positive.

at the same time than they are wonderful. Of course the comparison of Kellyanne Conway is to Katrina Pierson who like Trump, just opens her mouth and whatever comes out, so be it. Sort of like Trump without teleprompters.

5. The legitimate rape woman.
Fri Aug 19, 2016, 02:45 AM
Aug 2016

In 2012, in an interview with the Family Research Council, Conway compared Republican criticism of Todd Akin (R-MO), one of Conway's clients, to the siege in 1993 of cult leader David Koresh. An Akin representative said that Conway's comments were "stupid". Conway said she was not comparing Akin to Koresh, but instead comparing the FBI's tactics to force Koresh out with the Republican's tactics to force Akin out of the 2012 election.[5] Conway also defended Aiken's position of opposing a “rape” exception for a hypothetical abortion ban on grounds that women’s bodies had mysterious ways of avoiding conception in cases of “legitimate rape.”[6]

Perfect match for Trump

He's become a slobbering, interrupting idiot. His views are all over the map depending on who he's talking to. He loved Tom DeLay because he gave him a "scoop" once and that's just self-absorbed and sad. He comes from a strict Catholic, Republican-dominated, law and order family, and he can't get past it. He's now a buffoon. He has the same guests over and over and blows smoke up every ass declaring the brilliance of each. I, for one, take nothing the man says for granted. Why he still has a show is a puzzlement.

Ben Stein... maybe.

Most of the others, even the lauded pundits and operatives... not so much.

I could beat Ben on his game show "win his money"... but he beat me almost as much (I have a fairly decent high IQ, worked as Chief Scientist for NASA for 10 years, numerous patents and publications).

She can move a conversation back to her talking points fairly quickly. She is smarter than the TV personalities she is paired with (there is a reason that most of them are closer to average intelligence).

I doubt she could do well with Rachael Maddow or Keith O.

If Republicans (in general) were smart (and not evil), they wouldn't be republicans. You can't believe many of the things that rank and file republicans believe (about history or science for example) and be all that intelligent. However, like many evangelical preachers, you can lead the sheep if you can tell lies so effectively that you don't even know you are lying anymore.

I don't see her as "smart". Just evil.

I messaged Hayes after listening to him make nice-nice with Conway.I thought he was going to kiss her ring.Nothing but "good point".Nothing about her nefarious background or questions about Bannon , or any of his complimenting the confed flag after the Charleston massacre among countless white supremacy statements or even calling Bill Kristol a "renegade jew".I commented that Hayes is probably career hunting .His obsequiousness was nauseating.I am boycotting him and hope to see a trend.

If Tweety and his ilk get to do the only interviews we'll never get beyond her steamrolling the menfolk and them going blind rather than jumping in her face.

We need Joy Reid, Rachel, and Brianna (damn, forgot her last name) from CNN, women who can't be called sexist for getting in Miss Kellyanne's face and who can do more than let her lie lie lie RW talking point talking point lie lie.

I guess the trendy new thing to do is to applaud racism and hate if it comes in a polished package.

This is, without a doubt, the most depressing election I've ever witnessed in my life. There's no escaping the propaganda of blatant and intolerant bigotry – it's now being blasted out 24/7 by mainstream media.
