Now I'm pissed, MSM wants us to believe the dems went too far

[madokie]

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

1. No. You're Kidding. Not The MSM. nt

[NVMojo]

2. Ms. Alito cannot handle the public arena, get her out!

[Selatius]

3. One day, the corporate news media will be smashed as a monopoly.

One day...

[fishwax]

38. not likely

justified, but not likely :(

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. FUCK THE MSM!

Damn assholes. It was LINDSEY GRAHAM who made her cry, not the Democrats! :grr::nuke::grr:

[monobrau]

5. Aw, I'm sawwy

Hey at least we didn't wave dead fetus pictures in her face or call her a whore.

[blossomstar]

6. oh that was soooooo planned. they have no qualms.. will stop at NOTHING.

[Kurovski]

23. Yep. A REPUBLICAN asked the question, fer cry-eye!

Anyone who takes a minute to think will realise it was a flimsy little skit with an obvious, unmotivated set-up.

Any High School drama teacher would tell them it needs work.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Gloria B was smuggly spewing

that because Mrs Alito was reduced to tears by Lindsey Graham the DEMS had gone too far and Alito should be given the position on a silver platter immediately.

[Benhurst]

10. Gloria has been remade more times than a bed in a whorehouse.

She a corporate/Bush Crime Family stooge, big time.

[still_one]

8. it didn't bother the MSM about the swift puke ads

I wish they would send these scum that are part of the MSM into iraq

[Hobarticus]

9. Can't take the heat....get out of the kitchen

She wasn't even addressed, for crissakes...

[Thtwudbeme]

11. Oh, fuck them. And fuck her

She needs to up her dosage.

[EFerrari]

12. Please fight the spin!

[progressivebydesign]

13. I don't give a fuck what that unstable woman does.

If she can't hack it, she should stay home.

[hopeisaplace]

14. I'm reposting this post I made on another thread

...I hope that's ok,

Politics is a currupt game (as we all know)

republicans are winning at this game in a huge way...

People have personally felt overwhelmed at some time or another in their
life...so some people want to believe that his wife was merely overwhelmed
with the entire matter..maybe that's true...who really knows, BUT BUT BUT

...tears, stress can often show it's ugly head when there is "some" truth
to what's being alleged...for her to hear the words "bigot" upfront, like she
did, may have triggered that "inner truth" ...that part of her husband that only
she knows could possibly be true...a part she has spent her life defending against,
but a part she knows in her own mind is there on some level. THIS CAN PROVOKE TEARS.
If what was being said was a complete LIE, a complete fabrication, then tears may not
be the response, what may be the response is a digging in of the heals and no tears.

So may I suggest that you EVALUATE "tears" on this level as well.

[LittleClarkie]

15. They are trying to punish the Dems for standing up for themselves

I wonder if there is a way to get ahead of this spin.

[jimshoes]

31. Tell them to act like

adults. This is real life, not fairy tale land.

[LittleClarkie]

39. Tell who? The Dems are being good boys and girls.

Should I tell the Repubs?

Sorry, the pronoun got me.

[jimshoes]

40. Sorry Little Clarkie, No, I meant tell the repugs of course

They are the ones acting like children. I should have been more precise.

[LittleClarkie]

42. No probs. Given two ways to take something, I will invariably

pick the wrong one.

[Justitia]

16. And they were so concerned for Hillary & Chelsea during the impeachment

farce when they totally destroyed her husband and father, respectively!

They drug out every sordid, disgusting detail in technicolor and those two women had to sit there and take it EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF EVERY FUCKING DAY for how fucking long???? They still do!

And they do it with a helluva lot more class than these republican fucking robot wives who would decimate the rights of WOMEN EVERYWHERE in deference to their insane husbands.

She better get a lot fucking better at handling criticism of her husband - that's what happens when you marry a woman-hating BIGOT.

[madokie]

18. You are so right, I'm still sore about the way my president was treated

and all they put his family through, all for finding a way to impeach

[Justitia]

22. I get all worked up & "colorful" when I think back to the impeachment days

so friends, forgive my language here at DU - just lettin' my hair down a bit.

I have never been so angry as when all that was happening - never. I felt completely usurped and overthrown. I was incredulous that we were actually IMPEACHING A PRESIDENT over a consensual sex act. I am still flabbergasted today that it actually happened.

See, it still gets my blood pressure up! But, I digress...

All this cluck, cluck sympathy for a woman whose husband would make all women brood mares is bullshit. She should answer as to how she could ever be married to a knuckle-dragger like that. And sorry Mrs. Alito, if your husband wants to rule on the highest court on the land you need to learn how to suck it up real quick.

Ask Hillary and Chelsea for some lessons on decorum and dignified behavior - you have a long way to go!

[cybildisobedience]

37. as I said on another thread, maybe Hillary should have cried

Then they would have stopped terrorizing Bill Clinton every split second he was in office and beyond.
Their double standard is mind-boggling.

[Lefty48197]

17. Democrats are so MEAN!

Unlike those warm-fuzzy Republicans.

[HockeyMom]

19. New York City Local Channel

I usually watch Cable News, but was sitting in the gararge waiting for my oil change and they had on NYC ABC News reporting on Alito heardings.

Damn, what a DIFFERENCE. Not your CNN or Faux talking heads saying that the Dems are falling all over themselves.

I think I will SWITCH BACK to local broadcast for news.

[Connie_Corleone]

20. Wasn't she crying because Graham was fawning over her husband?

[madokie]

21. 'fraid she was being edged out maybe

[Kurovski]

25. Maybe it reminded the Mrs. of an affair Mr. Alito had

with their black tax-accountant?

That motivation would make her actions at least rational on some level.

Please, Christ! Save us from all this bullshit!

EDIT: If Mrs Alito REALLY WAS upset because her husband is having an affair with a black/hispanic man or woman--or she herself is having an affair with a black/hispanic man or woman, and her husband forced her to cease and desist, thus having the "bigot" comments trigger an emotional reaction--I apologise.

I also apologise for that anaconda-like sentence.

[txindy]

26. That's what was happening when she started up, yeah.

So, :shrug:

[Kurovski]

27. The implication being that she is upset with her husband's

predilection to play footsy with the boys.

Or she's pathologically jealous.

[txindy]

29. I was thinking she was just waiting for a cue, myself.

I didn't even think of the two things you suggested. Graham was her husband's coach. She KNEW what he would say. It wasn't a surprise, they were prepped on the Q&A. She had a cue and she took it. Why else would she tear up over fawning? Heck, the repubs, including Graham, have been fawning over him for two days! All she's done is smile at them - until Graham's cue.

[Kurovski]

33. Oh, yes, it was a cue.

I guess they got tired of waiting for a Dem to say something to make l'il Honey boo-hoo her ass outta' the hall.

They went with Plan B, and together they became the "Ready For Slime-Time" players.

[blm]

24. The CORPORATE MEDIA is doing the job for their corporate masters.

.

[xxqqqzme]

28. I don't know who said it

FDR? Tip O'Neil? There are NO accidents in politics. If you think about that, it is truer than most other observations.

[Kurovski]

30. As the Elaine Bennis character said of her orgasms with Jerry:

"Fake, fake...fakefakefake."

Everything in politics is planned. In my mind's eye I can see everyone practicing in a mirror the night before...

Even the sincere stuff.

Dean might be the exception at times, and look at how they slam him for tossing out the playbook.

[Cleita]

32. I saw that disgusting display of barely concealed bias.

Who is the battle-axe faced woman who reports from the White House? She can't report anything without interjecting her very right wing opinions into everything. Did she get her journalism credentials out of a cereal box?

[Kurovski]

35. Yeah, she pulled 'em out of a box alright.

[Ksec]

34. Meanwhile back at the election

They highlighted swift boat liars and literally called Mrs. Kerry a rich bitch.

I think we all know this is par for the course with corportate media shilling for corporate politicians who favor their agenda.

[upi402]

36. she'd cry if he judged against her and ruined her life, huh?

Phony assed crybaby cowardly traitors.

AKA: conservatives

[La Coliniere]

41. Not a day goes by,

when I DO watch the MSM that is, when I'm not seriously pissed by their corporate spin of reality. Their bias against Democrats is as clear as unsullied piss in a fruit jar.

[high density]

43. "The Dems offer no alternatives!"

And now it's "The Dems just went too far!"

I don't know how Democrats are ever going to retake this country with these money grubbing GOP-loving corporations controlling the news. The bias is just mind boggling at this point and it makes me constantly step back and try to gauge if I'm so liberal now that I simply see everything on the "news" as having a right-wing slant...
