Well it is clear: ABC's Jack Tapper is a GOP talking point tool |
|
He just repeated GOP/Bush talking points that about closing Gitmo will make American unsafe and there will be terrorists walking out on the streets again.
I am not surprised, ABC (aka Disney) has had it for Obama for a long time.

He's one of those bend-over backwards former liberals. |
|
Now that he has a chance to make the big bugs as an "unbiased" reporter on the TV, he's trying his damndest to prove he's no longer a liberal like when he was writing for salon.com and he does so by bashing the left and coddling the right every chance he gets.

4. I didn't realize that he was a former liberal |
|
he certainly was never a fan of Obama - or Kerry 4 years before.

5. Yeah, check out some of his articles in salon's archives |
|
From 5+ years ago, before he got his job on ABC news. He came down hard on Bush's false claim of WMDs, among other things.

6. That is sad - I wonder what caused him to change as much as he did |
|
In his case it can't be 911, unless there was a LOOOONG delay. (Until I started posting, I almost never looked at the reporter's name - Though obviously, I looked at columnists.)
Thanks

11. Good point - going to ABC was likely much more money. |

3. Ed Henry was following the same lines |
|
The only alternative to Obama's plan is keeping the place open indefinitely, and that's not going to work.

8. And they seemed so sad about the no torture thing. |
|
No torture? Not even a little? Not even for Bin Laden?
They must have had tickets to the next "severe" interrogation.

9. Does abc nooze have any non-corporate stooges on staff? |
|
Seems being a corporate toady is a prerequisite for employment with abc nooze.

12. That has been official for a while. On Tuesday , he was ranting about the use of Obama's full name |
|
during the oath. Said it was hypocritical as they did not want to use it during the campaign.
