ABC's Media Whore, Charlie Gibson, Grilled Barack Obama for 1 Hour About His Church.
One full hour of grilling Obama about his church by Charlie Gibson.

Does anyone really think that Gibson will spend more than two minutes on the nutbag religion and beliefs of Sarah Palin's creepy, anti-gay, anti-semetic church?

Here comes the great double standard.

2. I can picture it now
"So, tell me Governor, how does it make you feel when the Democrats attack your faith?"

6. Ask her if she has ever spoken in tongues...
if she says "no", then ask her why she feels that "God has not favored her with the gift?"

It would be a nice trap, but lapdog Gibson would never ask that in a million years

8. Gibson will ask one/two obligatory church questions, but he won't go after a white church.
ABC's white debate monitors ripped Obama's black church for one of the two hours in their "debate".

Don't expect a white corporate whore like Gibson to remotely get testing about a white church.

This is America, after all. Where racism is always tolerated.

12. The preacher admitted in the video where she addresses the church that they backed her candidacy
for Governor-should that be enough to send the IRS for a visit?

13. Yes it should
although I personally believe that Trinity Church in Chicago needs a visit too. As do many churches in my own Roman Catholic faith. Once you weigh in about a candidate, IMO you've crossed the line.

21. Many will get it and it should be a huge talking point for
the Obama campaign who had to endured the crap about Wright from charlie gibson but he does not pound her with questions about her record in Alaska?

abc will be a joke for not vetting the potential republican vp for the country.

Is that creepy, or what?

17. You're too kind to Chuck if you think he'll spend two minutes on religion.
I'm guessing Chuck put religion into the personal issues category that he already took off the table.

Fuck Chuck and the mouse he rode in on.

20. Hell no. He will NOT address her stinking record, the bridge to nowhere, he will NOT
challenger her on her lies or ask her a thing about her plans and policies for this country. He will NOT ask her if she intends to try to outlaw condoms and birth control and abortion or about her environmental or economic policies.

I am not watching the little trashmouth Prima Donna.

23. It will be interesting to watch for that reason alone. Lots of people will
be tuning in. Lots of people will get to decide if Gibson is a real journalist or not.

26. That's going to make the 'Muslim" meme less effective
...but authoritarians are perfectly capable of keeping "Obama is Muslim" and "Obama is Christian"* in their heads at the same time and not get a headache.


* just not my particular kind.

27. Infomercia: Q&A will be scripted polit-correct answers for thwarting each controversy around her ...
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 04:01 PM by quantass
and very light on details at that. Charlie will ask the controvery in a "sweet, you dont have to answer if u dont want to way" (assuming its not something she cant get out of, but then she already knows which ones will be asked) and she will spin it to look good on herself...no follow up questins, no "wait a minute, that is a lie" comebacks. And expect tons of lies about Obama and Biden with Charlie never making any corrections on her lies. Praise will be lauded on her the next morning across the msm and new favoribility polls will be released that day to confirm it.
