Why can't both Keith and Bev be credible?
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 12:28 PM by Melodybe
I think that Keith made valid arguments, if Bev has the goods she should put up or shut up.

But I am also pissy at Keith for acting like Bev was a loony.

As far as Bev goes, all night people have been freaking out about who she is and her past, etc. I look at Bev the same way I look at Michael Moore (who I love BTW).

Michael Moore is a good person, who has been responsible for some truly wonderful things, but he also has a tendency to have ego problems and he is without a doubt a glory hog sometimes.

Bev has done some really great things, her law suit with California and exposing Diebold and the work she has been doing to make BBV an issue are gifts to our democracy that can only help make our democracy stronger.

Keith is one of the few people in the MSM that is giving this voting fraud the exposure it deserves. But we also have to accept that Keith does work for GE and the war and Bush are good business for GE. Keith should be commended for doing the job he is doing, especially considering his bosses.

I am thankful to both.

This often happens when two people we all love meet and the interaction is not what we had hoped for. Kerry on the Daily Show was something we all looked forward to and that meeting was dull to say the least. It wasn't Jon's fault and it wasn't Kerry's fault, its just that we all hyped it up so much that when it inevitably happened it wasn't the meeting we expected.

So my question why can't they both be credible? So can we drop this, cause this is getting boring.

1. bingo
I've already posted on two other threads about this but I agree with you.

Let's knock it off with the circular firing squad that ultimately undermines our cause.

This is nothing more than a trivial misunderstanding.

3. Very likely
Olberman said he had not talked to Bev directly, only through staff.

5. And as a reporter, he should know better than to talk about her...
until he talks to her himself.

2. Thank you
People tend to invest a lot in people they believe are acting on their behalf. Maybe too much.

4. You nailed it, mostly
It wouldb e easy to embrace cynicism and begin to mean-mouth one or both. But in this case I don't even think it's ego. It's integrity. It's nice to have two people like that in our army.
