Instead of that stupid ass Farrakhan question time would have been better spent in oh I don't know

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

the mortgage crisis or something with some actual fuckin' relevance. But maybe it's me I guess I'm ignorant like that. Tim Russert is a huge waste of air time.

[MonkeyFunk]

1. I agree

this was the worst of all the debates this campaign. Just godawful.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. What's next celebrity endorsements. "Senator will you renounce Sean Penn's endorsement".

[texasleo]

3. why don't Repubs have to denounce the dozens of racists on AM radio?

:mad:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. Because many of those racists have very good and lucrative advertisers. n/t

[bluethruandthru]

5. Thank you!

The crap the "liberal" media lets the repukes get away with is disgusting!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

6. I kept thinking it was a practice round for the GE debates

Every third question was a stupid ass knee-jerk question with no real value.

[New Dawn]

7. Or they could have asked Clinton to explain her vote for the illegal invasion of Iraq

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. A better question would have been why did she go on meet the press

with people like McCain and Lindsey Graham back in the day to tout the so called progress in Iraq. After we all knew already this was a cluster fuck.

9. I agree

It was a stupid question. They should've spent more time on the issues that actually mattered.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Hopefully next time they'll get to the real important stuff. Such as who does Paris Hilton support?

[Az_lefty]

10. agree, it was rediculous. Farrakhan has nothing to do with either candidate

[zulchzulu]

12. He was ready for the Heidi Fleiss endorsement for Hillary but got distracted with a rare hard-on

It was an amazingly stupid question.

[GoldieAZ49]

13. he had to denounce Farrakhan if he is going to hold white and/or jewish voters

he did Obama a favor

Farrakhan's views are unacceptable in a national campaign

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. It's as irrevlevant as Dan Coulter's supposed endorsement of Clinton. Certain people

want this to be an issue. It isn't. It was a pitiful waste of time. I'm sure you could come up with 5 better and actually important topics in 5 minutes.

[McCamy Taylor]

15. But then the nation would not know that a scary Black Muslim endorsed Obama.

From Pat Buchanan's dirty tricks:

"COVERT OPERATIONS -- We should have as many of these down there as needed to conduct harassment exercises, and embarrassment exercises for the Democrats. They should have no connection at all with the GOP Observation Post, and should be directed out of here, as they have been in the past.

"They should be able to help put demonstrations together, get leaflets out, start rumors, and generally foul up scheduled events -- and add to the considerable confusion and chaos that will inevitably exist."

It continued:

"The preparation of attacks on one Democrat by another -- and 'endorsements' of one Democrat by another, which has to be repudiated, are examples of what can be done. Nothing should be done here, incidentally, which can seriously backfire and anything done should be cleared by the highest campaign authority. The Secret Service, it should be noted, will be all over Miami; and any activity will have to take into consideration their capabilities.

"We should guard here against a) anything which enables the Democrats to blame us for the mess which takes place in Miami Beach; b) anything which can be traced back to us and c) anything which is so horrendous as to damage us, if the hand is discovered."

The memo was labeled "CONFIDENTIAL"

If it was good enough for Nixon to use against McGovern, it is good enough for Russert to use against Obama
