David Gregory-"Obama On The Ropes"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

What's up with that?

I thought he was supposed to be the non partisan mug of MSNBC...

The only way Obama is on the ropes is if he's Muhammad Ali and McCain is George Foreman...

[smiley_glad_hands]

1. Its BS.

[BeFree]

53. Yep

Obama may have been taken back a bit by the Palin bubble inflating the puke party, but have no fear, Palin will get knocked out TKO. And she's gonna do it to herself. She's a lightweight and Obama is in a class several above her.

[BlooInBloo]

2. ""I thought he was supposed to be the non partisan mug of MSNBC" - That's just fucking stupid

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. NYT Said Olberman & Matthews Were Removed From Election Night Coverage For Their Hyperpartisanship

~

[BlooInBloo]

26. Yes, they did say that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. I Also Used It Is As A Rhetorical Device

He's really no worse or better than the others...

During impeachment, Calvin Trillin called them the "Sunday morning gasbags."

[BlooInBloo]

45. Then I was agreeing with you.

[anonymous171]

3. Obama models his strategy after Ali. So being on the ropes is a good thing.

McCain and Palin are already getting sloppy. Obama runs best as the underdog.

[tridim]

16. Speaking of which wasn't Ali supposed to speak at the convention?

Did I miss it?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. I Read He Was There

He has a hard, hard time speaking because he suffers from Parkinson's Syndrome...

[Pirate Smile]

22. He wanted to be there. He was never going to speak.

[Cha]

4. Let's call and email about gregory's obvious

bias.

[1corona4u]

10. Let's do.

They want fair, let's hold their feet to the fire god dammit.

[mod mom]

12. I sent MSNBC & NBC links to "MC Rove" with Gregory dancing alongside and asked

Is this the picture of journalistic professionalism.

:mad:

[Chimichurri]

5. You mean Stretch? The guy who danced on stage with Rove?

The one who regurgitates republican talking points as if they were true? That David Gregory :eyes:

[Kool Kitty]

31. Hate, hate, hate David Gregory.

If McCain farts, David opens the show with a ten-minute discourse about how it hurts Obama. Obvious McCain ass-kisser, so, therefore, he stays.

[Madam Mossfern]

6. Don't like him

Is he twisting the deployment in Iraq against Obama. I can't hear him, I have my fingers in my ears.

[Pirate Smile]

7. I literally lunged for the remote. CNN just did a segment on Obama's response to Bush

on Iraq and on his education proposal.

Gregory is pathetic.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Me too....

Gregory lied in his opening statement, Tweety already had the WSJ poll
Gregory lied about them not being released.

I won't watch him but I'm curious if he'll mention them in his show.

[City Lights]

8. GE TV doesn't consider bashing Obama "partisan." It's only "partisan" when

the truth is spoken about republickers.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. I turned him off after Matthews roasted Palin- I saw that

Dick Gregory doesn't deserve your support.

[City Lights]

13. Me too. When I realized Hardball was over, off when my TeeVee.

Screw gregory. :thumbsdown:

[budkin]

11. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

"On the ropes" is about as far from reality as possible. This guy is a fucking hack.

[butterfly77]

14. I used to believe that until the primaries..

he is full of shit and that is why he is replacing Tweety and Olbermann...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

17. David Gregory can kiss my not-as-large-as-it-used-to-be ASS

That guy is a tool and will not be viewed on any of our TVs!

[TwilightGardener]

18. Yeah, McLoser loses his bounce in most polls, but it's OBAMA on the ropes--

Gregory, being the Republican asshole we've come to know and love. His angle on every topic: How does this hurt Obama?

[Bigleaf]

20. I'd like someone to investigate Gregorys finances. He was one of the few who asked some tough

questions of the White House (not in the same league as Helen, but he did question them more than the others) and yet ever since he danced with Rove, he has been fucking us over non-stop with the RW bullshit. I'd be willing to bet he's getting paid 2 salaries from 2 different sources.

[eShirl]

23. Dances With Rove is an airhead

[Cattledog]

24. Rope-a-Dope

The rope a dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance, in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, and allowing their opponent to hit them in the hope that the opponent will become tired and make mistakes which the boxer can exploit in a counter attack.
Rope-a-dope is also commonly used to describe strategies in areas other than boxing, where one party purposely puts itself in what appears to be a losing position, and then becomes the eventual victor.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. Has There Ever Been An Athlete, A Person As Cool As Him?

[CoffeeCat]

25. David Gregory is on...

...while people are coming home from work. Prime time slot.

Matthews is on before Gregory--when people aren't home yet--and he's on after Gregory--when people
have all ready taken in 45 minutes of news that day.

Then, we have Olbermann and Maddow on later.

MSNBC knows what it's doing.

[high density]

27. Remember the name of Gregory's program

Race to the White House. Without a race this guy has no reason for living.

[nini]

28. Guess McCain is too since they're basically tied

Why not that angle?

[TheZug]

29. The invertebrate man-child strikes again.

[Neecy]

30. ugh

And now he's going to have a friendly chat with Mary Matalin. Friggin' mediawhore.

[C_U_L8R]

32. Seems to be the coordinated message today

Gregory, how much do they pay you to read their swill?

[flpoljunkie]

33. Am done with watching 'Race to the White House' now that Rachel Maddow has her own show.

She was the only thing that made it worth watching.

[Ichingcarpenter]

41. I just clicked back with no sound-he has Harold Ford on as the democratic response

to his republicans. NUFF SAID

[EndElectoral]

34. Gregory's always been RW.

[ClarkUSA]

35. David Gregory = The Ultimate Obama Concern Troll

The man has never ever had the same headline about McCain and never will.

[vanderBeth]

37. He's a Douche.

[stillcool]

38. It's the latest meme...

perception = reality. Turn on the tv and enter the nether world.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

39. I think Gregory dancing with "MC Karl Rove" was his official shark-jumping moment...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWRSgjDEQy0

[BlueIdaho]

40. Come the revolution I say we send this fucker straight to hell.

Then he can dance with the devil.

[WCGreen]

43. Gregory getting Beck like ratings....

140k...

Shit more people watch animals taking dumps on the Animal Channel...

[Barack_America]

44. David Gregory = Bill O'Reilly = Rush Limbaugh = not fit for posting on DU. nt

[ErinBerin84]

46. yeah, that's why I stopped watching Gregory on this damn show.

He was saying "Obama on the ropes" when Obama was 10 points ahead.

[Shine]

47. Screw him.

he's a RW shill, duh :thumbsdown:

[RNdaSilva]

48. Just switched to CNN.

Gregory is on my no-watch list.

CNN is more balanced than Gregory's sideshow. Difficult to digest Blitzer though...as boring as McCain.

Tweety was on again today. Saying, in effect, that we old duffers should be thinking of our children's and grand-children's future. Think future, not past. I've been saying that for months. He was very supportive of Obama.

[IndianaGreen]

49. David Gregory danced with Karl Rove

MSNBC might as well put Bill-O as an anchor and quit pretending they are being impartial.

[pat_k]

50. Actually, Obama is in trouble. Give the nearly universal rejection of Bush. . .

. . .the fact that a quasi-fascist follower of bushncheneyism like McCain is even within striking distance, much less neck and neck, demonstrates the utter failure of the "let's all get along with war criminals" strategery.

Fortunately, impeachophobia is Curable.

It's time for a serious http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3961601&mesg_id=3965026">Intervention.

[AtomicKitten]

51. David Gregory is an assclown.

[spanone]

52. gregory can't hide his bias.....he's not qualified for the gig

[PA Democrat]

54. I've noticed (just before I turn off the TV) that Gregory's opening story

is ALWAYS a negative story on Obama.

[Condem]

55. Me thinks that Obama has roped a dope.

[TheDonkey]

56. Don't watch Race to the WH or as it should be called "Obama-hate for an Hour".
