Candy Crowley calls Fred Thompson speech ("Cuban immigrants pose terror threat") 'REAGANESQUE'!

[Bluebear]

On June 28, the Associated Press reported that former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN), who has strongly indicated that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination, made a speech in South Carolina on June 27 in which he "expressed his opposition to the immigration bill in Congress and decried the flow of illegal immigrants from Cuba, saying: 'I don't imagine they're coming here to bring greetings from Castro. We're living in the era of the suitcase bomb.'....

CROWLEY: His speech was what he hopes to be -- Reaganesque -- both optimistic and tough, calling for an America strong enough, patient enough, to confront the new age of global terrorism.

1. Your corporate master is very thankful, Ms. Crowley

We'll be sure to stock another table of doughnuts for you at the CNN command, I mean, news center.

[Disturbed]

4. She's another RWing shrill, er I meant Shill.

I turn the channel every time she appears.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

8. Hey,...she did say, "HE HOPES TO BE". Let's be accurate.

Look, sure she proferred the GROSS 'suggestion' the RW seeks to exploit but she was accurate in saying he HOPED the delivery was "Reaganesque".

I must say this, though,...it bugs the hell out of me that the RIGHT-WING REGIME is still trying to RIDE ON REAGAN. As if those who weren't being terribly respectful during the ceremonies of his death were somehow worse than the grossly profiteering RW regime prepared to perpetuate their ABUSE of this man's legacy for their own fucking benefit. What GROSS people!!!

In retrospect, I feel bad for Ron and his family. He was USED and ABUSED by the right-wing while being fed everything he needed (as a hero) to allow that abuse to continue, under his watch. I imagine he is watching all this,...and,...well, my imagination is full.

All I know is the fucking SICK SHIT the right-wing SUCKS OUT OF REAGAN is further example of their willingness to spend ANYONE, dead or alive, to their benefit, with NO respect for ANY ONE.

[Bluebear]

23. Well, she said his speech WAS Reaganesque, and that he HIMSELF hopes to be Reaganesque.

As I read it.

[whistle]

19. Fred Thompson is a nice guy, he'll send Candy Crowley a case of Snickers Bars

[lligrd]

2. Doesn't He Know The Cuban Population Votes Repug?

At least the vast majority of it.

[spanone]

3. candy.....it's just hard to take her seriously

[TahitiNut]

5. Candy Creepy Crawley loves to be a necroconservative groupie - it's orgasmic for her.

She's found another geriatric saddle horn to straddle. :puke: :puke:

[LeftishBrit]

6. Reaganesque - does that mean senile?

[Warren DeMontague]

7. "Reaganesque"- "Full of lies, and written by someone else"? nt

[Cerridwen]

9. And apparently thinks that's a compliment?

How sad.

Even more sad is how many may agree with her.

We're at war with Eurasia, right?

*sigh*

[jimshoes]

10. They want another actor

as President? I thought they were somewhat averse to those Hollywood types. Or is it just Dem Hollywood types? Oh and Candy Crawley just makes me want to :puke:.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. "Reaganesque"? Does that mean that he drooled while snoring?

As to what he said about the evil Cubans..

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H.L. Mencken

[NoodleyAppendage]

12. She just wants to eat him. Literally.

The "Beast that Ate CNN" is hard at work shilling for her corporate Repuke overlords.

13. The last time I responded to a candy crowley thread

I pissed off a whole bunch of people and was flamed inmercifully. Therefore I have no comment on anything candy crowley might have puked out on CNN.

16. She's a fascist; but I find she grows on you.

In fact, she's grown a bit more every time I see her.

[tularetom]

17. See that's the kind of thing that got me in trouble

So of course I'd never make a comment like that again.

You should have heard the comments at our house on Thanksgiving when her face popped up on the TV screen to the delight of many of my sons, son in ;laws, grandson in laws, nephews and nephew in laws, most of whom agree with her politically. Some of the remarks (such as those about sticking things into folds) were so gross I can't even repeat them here.

I was of course disgusted.

[Benhurst]

25. Sticking it to Candy (and dare I say hearing her squeel?) is a dirty job;

but someone has to do it. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

14. And there went any Cuban-Americans voting for Thompson

Hey, Fred! You idiot...they vote REPUBLICAN!

[pinto]

15. In the Republican Reagan terms the poor are terrorists.

As well as moochers at the trickle down trough of federal dollars.

Not to mention the mentally ill - they were reallocated to the street where they became - moochers at the trickle down trough of federal dollars.

He was a 'great communicator' though. :eyes:

[Totally Committed]

18. It's hard to know with Candy Crowley.... either she likes the way Fred smells,

or she's hoping his pockets are full of jelly beans, too. (I hear Reagan offered them to all the girls....)

;)

[Edweird]

20. That's just dumb. He should stick to hollywood.

[mediaman007]

21. So if you are 35 years old...you were 15 when Reagan was done.

[ngant17]

22. I suspect Sen. Thompson is getting some intel from above

From the grapevine, it is my understanding that all requests for visas from Cubans are being forwarded directly to Washington at this very moment.

"As a result of enhanced homeland security, (Cuban) visa applications are now subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past...
currently pending receipt of required clearances...this involves an interagency process that takes place in Washington, D.C."
from a recent message (26 Jun 2007) by Gregory D'Alesandro, Consular Information Unit Chief U.S. Interests Section, Havana, Cuba

Somebody is becoming paranoid up there. A sign of mental instability or delusional thinking?

[Poiuyt]

24. Wait a second...are Cubans trying to get into the country now terrorists?

I thought they were trying to get away from Castro and the oppressive government

[sniffa]

26. madame trash heap is so wise

[greenbriar]

27. sexy freddie is the GOPs great (white) hope

[mitchum]

28. Yeah, but she will swallow anything

[ContraBass Black]

29. To some people, that's a compliment.

:rofl:

[LittleClarkie]

30. Yes, yes, Candy, but does he drink green tea

I will never forget that inanity.

[judaspriestess]

31. reaganesque or Grotesque

[Joe Bacon]

32. Candy slobbers anything out of her mouth for THE GREAT WHITE DOPE
