How much spinning, re-framing, apologizing and excusing are KO

[jasmine621]

Rachel, Chris, and others going to carry on for Obama and "bittergate." I have never heard so many pundits go to such lengths to excuse and spin Obama's remarks. Even Obama admitted that his words were ill chosen but the Obama supporters in the media don't think that's enough. KO almost made me throw up tonight. Just think what they would be saying if those exact words had come out of HRC's mouth.

1. It's been turned around on Hillary. She overplayed her hand and is suffering for it.

[Ian David]

2. It's absolutely appalling how every liberal we truly respect and admire has to support Obama.

Must be a conspiracy!

The only ones still supporting Hillary seem to be... uhm... people like YOU.

I'm not impressed.

3. It's no wonder that MSNBC's rating are in the toilet.

[AllentownJake]

6. You're right

You should be watching Fox for the coverage you want :-)

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Chicken nugget, or Meatball?

[AllentownJake]

12. Nuggets

You hate grassroots don't you :-)

[goldcanyonaz]

15. I fucking love meatballs!

[AllentownJake]

19. Civil War

Once this is over we should all get together over Meatballs and what not a big democratic pot luck dinner

Sorry for the snarky comment. After 6 weeks of knocking on doors its getting to be reflexive when I come on here and share stories.

:pals:

8. LMFAO.. MSNBC had it's highest ratings ever 1st quarter 08'

25. On top of that Olbermann's been ranked

as a more powerful person in television than Bill O'Reilly! Thank god!

[papau]

18. MSNBC is just doing the Obama "change the subject to bitter"game rather than discussing religion

as being caused by bitterness, as is hunting, as is opposition to illegal immigration, as is voting for Hlliary I presume - at least per Obama

[goldcanyonaz]

20. Do you mind if I give you a star?

[rodeodance]

26. that is sweet of you.

[papau]

37. You are sweet - and I do not mind - and thank you :-)

[rodeodance]

27. people can only take so much of the smearing.

[walldude]

4. Just enough to counter the pathetic attacks..

If you haven't seen them, watch the John Stewart clip on the front page. Or is he dead also?

[Symarip]

7. I saw in the DU Clinton group page today...

They're a little bitter over the matter.

[leftofcool]

5. Good God! What hacks!

I know it is hard not to tune in once in a while, but just hit the mute button and watch their mouths move. You won't notice the difference.

[Skittles]

9. KO taking the same path as BuzzFlash

he has turned from being anti-bush to being rabidly anti-HRC / pro-Obama - that BOT-type of mentality seriously affects judgement

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

30. No, he's just anti-bullshit.

Hillary should try staying positive about her own campaign instead of constantly attacking her fellow Democrats with bullshit smears.

[Skittles]

32. you don't get it

you think it's fine because it favors your candidate - I can tell you as someone who actually hates repukes more than Hillary IT FUCKING STINKS and calls their judgement into question. The OP is correct when he says he feels KO WOULD NOT BE EXUSING HILLARY IF SHE HAD SAID THE SAME THING - THAT IS ABOLUTE BIAS.

[AX10]

33. MSNBC = Most Surely Nothing But Crap!

MSNBC is to Obama what Fox News has been to Bush.
They are both heavily biased towards their chosen candidate.
It is sickening to watch.
I have no respect for Olbermann and Maddow anymore.

[Skittles]

34. I'm not a fan of HRC or Obama but I see exactly what you see

the hatred of Hillary is over-the-top and astounding

[AX10]

36. The hatred showns for her is astounding.

It is sickening.

[cliffordu]

11. FAIL. N/T

[baldguy]

13. No one cares about "bitter-gate"

In fact, rationalists AGREE with Obama that real people are bitter about this economy with this President (and the last one). Those that don't agree have had their cognitive abilities altered by too many shots of Crown.

[AtomicKitten]

14. Oh dear! Bitter that most Americans aren't buying into this particular line of attack?

Better luck next attack!

[papau]

21. Bitter is the Obama change the subject - being religious because your bitter is the question

or being a hunter, or being against illegal immigration - at least per Obama.

MSNBC and others in the media are trying hard to change the subject to "bitter" - and will succeed - but come October McCain will tear him appart with reminders of what he said.

[AtomicKitten]

23. Better luck next attack!

[Hepburn]

16. Your ride awaits you...

[99th_Monkey]

17. Excuse me? "spinning" .. "re-framing"?? And this coming from a Clinton supporter?

excuse me while I laugh this off.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[stevenleser]

22. *plonk*

[grantcart]

24. 4.79

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

28. Boo freakin hoo.

So sorry they haven't bought into Hillary's smear campaign. If she had a tenth as much honor, class and integrity as Obama has, she might fare better in the press.

[AllentownJake]

29. Well your voice weren't heard I guess

When you staged your protest last Friday.

Do you got your pots and pans ready?

[GoldieAZ49]

31. They want to insure a McCain presidency

it is a vast media conspiracy

Get Obama nominated so the repubs can mop the country with him. I doubt O will be able to carry Illinois let alone any other state in the GE

[FrenchieCat]

35. I think that's Hillary's self appointed job.

The Republicans aren't gonna Mop the floor anymore than Hillary has; and Lord knows she's tried.

Perhaps, God don't like ugly? :shrug:
