Nora O'Donnell: war protestors "ninnies wringing their hands"

[Neecy]

So she characterized those of us who oppose this war to GOP reptile Ken Mehlman.

Good god, someone finally worse than Matthews hosting Hardball.

[City Lights]

1. She was vile yesterday as well.

I couldn't stomach it and turned it off.

If she's so tough she should sign her ass up.

[Reciprocity]

6. Yep that's why I'm not watching today.

[City Lights]

17. Me neither.

:hi:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. So who is this, is this an 'official' RW personality like Hannity or

Coulter or the bowtie dude who used to be on Crossfire? Or is it actually supposedly someone 'neutral' saying crap like this?

[Neecy]

5. well...

I believe she considers herself a "journalist" or a "reporter", but on this Hardball stint she's been little more than a wingnut mouthpiece.

[TomClash]

3. When is Nora leaving for boot camp? nt

[me b zola]

4. slime. she is slime

Don't write to her, she will get off on the attention. Don't write to her boss, he is a neo-con. Write to the ombudsman. Slurs like this should not be tolerated. Many complaints to the ombudsman is our only recourse.

Problem is, I do not know who is the ombudsman for hardball. Anyone?

[Neecy]

20. I sent it to Media Matters

[me b zola]

23. Thank you

:hug:

That reminds me to write to them regarding Anderson Coopers pitiful performance yesterday from Camp Casey. Thanks again. :hi:

[riderinthestorm]

7. Just wait...

....until we are a swarm of "ninnies" in every town. That should wipe the smirk off their faces. I suspect that by next summer, all of the GOP will be "ninnies" too as the political realities of this war hit hard.

[City Lights]

26. Hi, riderinthestorm!

:hi:

Welcome to DU!

Us ninnies are already in the majority, but poor Norah still pimps the war to please her corporate masters.

[kentuck]

8. Hmmm...I never saw Nora as a mouthpiece for the right ??

I'm surprised at these descriptions...

[TheDebbieDee]

18. She wasn't like this until she got her new nose!

The surgeons must have implanted a repub attitude while they were slimming down her nostrils.

[City Lights]

30. Her pi%#ping went into overdrive yesterday, kentuck.

I never thought of her as a wing nut either. Yesterday was the first time I saw her host Hardball, and she was full of venom.

[AlwaysDemocrat]

9. I won't bother watching Hardball tonight

I usually catch part of it while waiting for "Countdown". The rest of the MSRNC line-up already sucks. What a shame - I thought there might be some hope for them.

[leftchick]

10. she is a fucking pit bull

and pisses me off big time. :grr:

[Catt03]

11. What's with all these so called WH reporters(O'Donnell, Gregory)

doing double duty as political talk show hosts?

I can only assume they are not really journalists but cable caddies.

Imagine a Peter Jennings calling 50% + in the country "ninnies wringing their hands" for opposing the war. :thumbsdown:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. Please call it Nerf Ball, Whiffle Ball, Yarn Ball, Spit Ball, Cheese Ball

or anything but Hardball, especially when it comes to interviews with right wing psychopaths.

[Dr.Phool]

22. How about shitball or sleazeball.

[librechik]

37. Hardly Any

balls

[BootinUp]

13. She is SUCH a whore.

Ridiculing any dem position, and working to defend her pResident so hard. She wants to be the next Monica Lewinski I swear to _____!

[DanCa]

14. My uncle Don Wageman lost his arm in viet nam....

He became a protestor for that war and this war. Is he a war coward you fracking repuke?

[AlCzervik]

15. Are you kidding me? Did she actually say that?

[Neecy]

19. yes

I'll paraphrase: in speaking to Mehlman, she said - so, does the president think that these war protestors are just ninnies wringing their hands?

Mehlman - oh, nooooooo (followed by bullshit)

[AlCzervik]

21. is she the one thats dating former Coalition bullshit flak Dan Senor?

It's really sickening what passes for news and opinion today.

[KC21304]

35. No, that's Campbell Brown. nt

[rasputin1952]

24. Sounds like she might have been baiting him...Mehlman is pretty

stupid, but he didn't fall for it this time.

Most of the time I see Nora, she is pretty well shall we say, left of center. i don't think she like bush either, but like lost of these electronic goomers, she wants to keep her job, and goes w/the flow...:(

[leetrisck]

16. Why doesn't she call the mother in Aruba

a ninnie wringing her hands.

[oasis]

25. Steve McMahon set her straight on her mischaracterization of what Dean

said about women being better off under Saddam. O'Donnell tried to spin it into, " Dean says the Iraqi people were better off under Saddam". McHahon corrected her by saying "If women are going to have less freedom under the new Iraqi regime, then what the hell are we fighting for over there?"

[Cocoa]

27. just doing her job

[NewInNewJ.]

28. She the one that Imus

slams so much?

[City Lights]

32. Not sure, but I thought that was Chris Jansing.

:shrug:

[Olney Blue]

33. Hard to tell- he slams everybody.

When she was changed from White House correspondent for NBC to her present position at MSNBC, he questioned whether it was a demotion, and thought she didn't deserve it.

[Arugula Latte]

36. Bwaaaaaaa!!

:rofl:

29. View SlideShow of Patriots Vigil Here -------- ------ > LINK

SlideShow

psst... pass the word ;->

peace

[Solly Mack]

31. Right. Now who's doing all the whining again? (the rw is)

whining and wringing hands seem to go ..well, hand in hand, no?

[countingbluecars]

34. I sent Hardball a quick note

saying that I will not be watching the show again because I will be too busy "wringing my hands".
