Candy Crowley lies: "There was a kind of 'people need to get over it' comment..."

[jenmito]

She was explaining why some women are still upset with Obama. This is a lie spread by The Telegraph in an article they titled, "Barack Obama tells Hillary Clinton supporters to 'get over it'"
"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2182273/Barack-Obama-tells-Hillary-Clinton-supporters-to-'get-over-it'.html

But his quote was, ""If women take a moment to realise that on every issue important to women, John McCain is not in their corner, that would help them get over it."

ONE Hillary supporter was upset, thinking he TOLD them to "get over it." Candy Crowly just repeated the lie.

[Kdillard]

1. Yeah I saw that and just shook my head of course

No one called her on it.

[jenmito]

3. Nobody ever calls her on anything...

it's par for the course.

[ErinBerin84]

2. Candy Crowly is the worst

The media is pissed that their narrative isn't shaping out as they had planned. "Some sort of comment..." You know exactly what the comment was and are aware of how you are distorting it, Candy. Read newsmax much?

[jenmito]

5. I'm sure she does read newsmax. And have you noticed how there are so many Black Repub. pundits

lately talking against Obama?

[SoCalDem]

50. Republicans have a "rental" service no doubt..

There are always toadies in any group of people who will sell-out for a chance to make money.. a Black republican is a hot commodity..The big-haired blond cuties must be pissed..

[genna]

57. I can only imagine how difficult it is to find and then to get Black males on TV saying what Joe

Watson says on MSNBC all the time.

I've heard Juan Williams talk about the relatives he has giving him an earful when he says disastrous stuff. His crime is working for NPR and being on Fox News. He complained about not being able to get sufficient access to MLK's original source material because of his affliation as a reporter.


I can only imagine what television Republicans get from family, friends, and man on the street for the sophistries they say. In order for these cats to be Republicans in public, they REALLY, REALLY have to believe this stuff because they pay for it in private.

4. I went by it --- looked at the group of females . .. laughed and turned it off. . . .

Didn't I see an "Ann Coulter" lite there . . . ?

[JoFerret]

39. Is that a Flanders poppy

in anticipation of the July 1st anniversary?

[defendandprotect]

49. I was hoping it was a poppy . . .

I paint and it's one of the most popular flowers in paintings and among artists ---

always!

Love it ---

To me it symbolizes freedom --- if we could only get to it!!

War is NOT the way . . .

Love RED ---

[JoFerret]

52. The poppy is, however

inextricably associated with the fields of Flanders and France.

I love them too.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Candy Crowley is angry at the world

You would be too if you were that ugly.

[ccharles000]

9. Lets not call people ugly.

[FrenchieCat]

16. She's got nice hair, but she doesn't love herself enough.......

and she takes it out on viewers and Obama instead.

Po' Thang. :(

[Cali_Democrat]

20. Yep

She needs to lash out because she is so very insecure.

It must suck to be her.

[JoFerret]

42. Geez -

Why not just stay with why you disagree without going into a Dr. FauxPhil Phil analysis?

[mrs_p]

24. right

because that is how we should judge people's worth. :sarcasm:

[JoFerret]

43. Thank you

(Did the last 40 years happen to some of these posters? Or are they living in another era with their insults?)

[Beacool]

25. Didn't know that it was a prerequisite to be beautiful to be a journalist.

:eyes:

[Cali_Democrat]

27. You don't have to be pretty to be a journalist

But when you're ugly, anger can tend to spill over to your career, especially as a journalist. ;-)

[martymar64]

28. Crowley is no journalist, she's a propagandist

Objectivity, a quality required in journalism, is something she is lacking.
Helen Thomas is a wonderful journalist. Crowley, not a journalist, period.

[Peacetrain]

36. An ugly attitude can leaves its mark on you physically

I think that is what is being said.

[AngryOldDem]

55. It's just the obligatory comment whenever Crowley's name comes up.

Nothing new here.

[Cha]

7. candy crowley should have been retired

from cnn a long time ago and yet here she is still licking repuke boot and lying about Dems.

[jenmito]

8. I agree.

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

17. Around the time they finally retired Judy Woodruff.....who I couldn't stand either.....

[Cha]

19. Right!

Who knows what candy has on those cnn honchos.

[JoFerret]

38. It's just great to have her back doing real news

on PBS. Back from the wasteland to do something useful.

[tularetom]

10. Okay then don't get over it.

Frankly this whole Clinton melodrama is getting tiresome.

And why anybody even cares what Candy the Hutt has to say about it is way beyond me.

Obama is a tactful and astute politician. He'll always say the right thing. But even he must be getting impatient with these bots.

I believe Hillary has accepted reality. But it appears that she may be the only member of her family or her campaign staff to do so.

Fact is they are in no position to demand anything.

[blogslut]

11. Man, the MSM is scared to death of a reformed FCC under a president Obama

Bite my shiny metal ass, Time-Warner. Obama is going to win and your days of owning the message will be OVAR.

[1Hippiechick]

12. "Muslim Barack Obama Fans told to hide" = Yellow journalism - maybe Tele paper sales are down?

I don't understand why the UK is so interested in our Presidential electioin, other than for their entertainment purposes. No longer than I have posted here, the few UK posters whose comments I've read seem to be using the messageboard to ridicule. Most unattractive!

[Cali_Democrat]

13. The Telegraph is a conservative rag

The BBC, Guardian and Indepedent are some of the best media outlets in the world. Overall, the UK media is much better than ours.

[1Hippiechick]

15. Well, that explains that!

[Cali_Democrat]

18. Also beware of the Times of London and the UK Sun...they are also conservative rags owned by Murdoch

;-)

[1Hippiechick]

22. Thanks - bookmarking....

[1Hippiechick]

34. I need to go back and research Murdoch - didn't realize his reach was so far and wide....

[SwampG8r]

33. when the brits complain

i laugh
like they have anything to be proud of lol
what have they done since we ran them out of north america? nothing
who do they run whining to when the cant save them selves? the US

they should do what they do best
kiss royal asses

[TexasObserver]

14. Candy Crowley is that big, ugly guy at CNN, right?

He needs to get over it.

[NYC_SKP]

23. Hah, that's "him" alright! nt

[TexasObserver]

26. Chris Farley in THE GAP skits on SNL. That character ...

... is who Candy Crawley reminds me of. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

[JoFerret]

37. What kind of silly ignorant remark is that?

.

[GoldieAZ49]

21. one way or the other everyone is going to 'get over it' and move on...before Nov

or shortly there after

[JoFerret]

40. It would be a pleasant surprise if

the misogynists could get with the decency program don't you think?

[GoldieAZ49]

44. what goes around comes around

and sometimes we get to see it happen...that is special!

[JoFerret]

53. I am not sure I get what you mean

But one thing is for sure - objecting to a TV commentator on the basis of her appearance is not a useful avenue in my opinion.

[rodeodance]

29. don't play semantics. Obama's comment says to get over it.

[Blondbostonian]

31. You're sorely lacking in critical thinking skills, Rodeo

Then again, I knew that long ago based on your posts.

[rodeodance]

32. Personal assults are so cool (NOT)

I think Rodeo is the one with the critical thinking ability.

[jenmito]

45. Don't lie. In context, he gave his opinion of what would keep women from voting for McCain.

Read it again-ALL of it.

[AngryOldDem]

56. If you read it literally, maybe. If you read in context, not so much.

He's not standing back in disdain and with the attitude of a spoiled victor and demanding that the women "get over it." He is acknowledging their disappointment and is suggesting that if the take a hard look at McCain's record, it will help them get over said disappointment.

Pretty simple. Hope this helps.

[shadowknows69]

30. CNN will be competing with FOX on who can blow the most smoke up McCain's ass.

[Phx_Dem]

46. Candy is a tool.

I haven't been watching CNN, but MSNBC is about to make me puke. "You're looking at the first couple." WHAAAA? First couple? Andrea Mitchell said that about Barack and Hillary. The woman has lost her mind.

[crankychatter]

47. beauty is only skin deep

but that Candy has ugly from the heels up

she seems so mean and snarky

I think she "is a tool," of the MIC think-tanks

[snooper2]

48. Candy Crowley is a disgusting POS

Everything that spews from her mouth makes me want to "puke"

I would rather see Britt Humes ugle POS mug on tv than that wannabe corporate whore

[against all enemies]

51. Candy has the brain of a pea, she's in over her head.

[Xenocrates]

54. Unfortunately in today's media

A lie just has to be restated and restated and eventually it will be considered fact.
