Kerry on in a few minutes MSNBC

[jillan]

Defending his remarks about the troops

[Norquist Nemesis]

1. And the first question from the anchor will be...

"Senator, do you deny you said those words?"

[LSparkle]

2. He ought to reply, "Hell, no"

"All I was doing was saying what everyone is thinking" (a la Matt Lauer re Rush).

[jillan]

4. I *think* they are giving Kerry a chance to explain

So this could be a good thing. Some little redhead was on, saying she followed Kerry's campaign in 2004. Hoping they are pro-Kerry cuz
Scarborough just slamed Kerry over his remarks.

[babylonsister]

19. Kelly O'Donnell. nt

[Child_Of_Isis]

5. Do you deny the Armed Forces uses "college" as a recruitment tool?

Kerry should answer the question with a question.

[Mass]

8. College? My son is in highschool and, since before he turned 17, he has been

receiving letter after letter asking him to join the military. At least one every week.

[Child_Of_Isis]

9. I meant educational benefits. eom

[jillan]

18. So are my daughters.

I send everything back with a nasty note.

[sandnsea]

3. I hope he doesn't go the 'mistake'route

He needs to tell the truth, they only started caring about these troops when they started losing in the poll. They didn't care a whit about these troops losing their lives.

[Coexist]

6. PLEASE, please, don't apologize.

throw it back at them. Please.

[Atman]

10. I don't think he can possibly apologize after that scathing comeback at Tony

It was the ballsiest thing I've ever heard from him. If he backs down now, he's finished. His credibility will be completely shot...at least with me. As with Dr. Dean, that was the kind of stuff real democrats have been yearning to hear. Taking it back would be crazy.

[emulatorloo]

20. self-delete - wrong place n/t

[AlCzervik]

7. i bet Kerry has gotten a ton of phone calls from the DLC screaming at him.

[jillan]

11. Kerry needs to come out strong on this

or he is going to get alot of blame.

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. *sigh* Next up "political and military reaction"

Still waiting for Kerry.

And the hits will just keep on comin'.

[emulatorloo]

13. So far MSNBC is giving free reign to a lying Minnesota Repuglican

and now they have promised "comments" but no Kerry yet

[jillan]

14. Here we go - watch!

[jillan]

15. He's being slammed by Traynor and some other military guy

[blm]

22. McFarlane was nailed by Kerry's IranContra investigation - he HATES Kerry.

.

[sandnsea]

29. Slammed??? You're over-reacting

It was about 5 words, hardly a slam. I'm really shocked at your response.

[LizW]

16. Just played the soundbite

And had two guys on to attack Kerry. No Kerry response yet.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Two Generals on "commenting"

"Senator Kerry should be dipped in hot oil, tarred, feathered, and run out of the country! He's disparaged the Commander in Chief!"

Paraphrased, of course.

[emulatorloo]

21. next up -- Laura Bush is campaigning!!! Dr. Fate, I hope yr watching

because we got a real case study on our hands here.

[jillan]

23. Andrea Mitchell on now

Kerry dug a hole. Andrea is trying to defend Kerry.

[Raffi Ella]

24. he's on

:kick:

[emulatorloo]

32. no - they never showed him EOM

[LizW]

25. Unbelievable

The didn't show his rebuttal, but spent the entire time talking about how this could swing the election to the Republicans. Now they have another guy on attacking him and saying he should apologize.

[Atman]

26. NO -- MSNBC LIED

They did a trash-piece on Kerry, talking right over his press conference, instead reading highlights of all the terrible things he's said over the years. Absolutely shameless.

.

[babylonsister]

27. Kerry on CNN; MSNBC didn't/won't show it? nt

[emulatorloo]

28. still claiming they will be going to press conference n/t

[sandnsea]

30. And they never did

Surprise surprise. Even more surprised that so many DUers fall for this media bullshit - AGAIN.

[emulatorloo]

31. they are big liars -- "How will the weather be in Florida for Pres Bush?"

EOM
