OH FOR FUCKS SAKE (Literally)! CNN Running a SEX AFFAIR HIT PIECE ON DEMS
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 12:52 AM by berni_mccoy
On Anderson 360, they are talking about Vitter getting caught going to the D.C. Madam (A PROSTITUTE).

So what do they do? They bring up EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN who has had an affair: Mayor of L.A., Mayor of San Fran, GARY HART, and yes, BILL CLINTON. They pulled out all the stops and skipped quite a few Republicans.

But guess what? The affairs these Democrats had DIDN'T BREAK LAWS or happen WITH PROSTITUTES.

They seemed to gloss over that fine point.

DAMN LIBERAL MEDIA!!!1! :sarcasm:

3. What a surprise. . .
So why are they digging up old news? How long ago was Gary Hart anyway. . .and what happened when Hart was discovered?

And they didn't even think of bringing up Foley?

4. Why are protesters not picketing CNN and the other MSMs
I mean this has to stop. We The People have to take our nation back. This is ridiculous.

13. I was thinking about adding Vitters to it, although he isn't *convicted*,
but he did confess to using the services of a protitute, which is a crime. (it shouldn't be, but I don't make the laws)

That still qualifies him as a sex offender though, right?

15. I don't think so...
I think the label "Sex Offender" is only related an assault of some type.

27. I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two extra-marital affairs in Thompson's background
They do call him the Tennessee Stud. And he has been married several times. There has to be reasons for the divorces.

8. Okay, that's fair.
So now let's line 'em up and list them:

(1) By the details of their "sex affair" offense.

(2) By the details of their individual calls for regulating and legislating the personal behavior of others.

(3) By the details of their criticisms of what they consider "immoral" behavior by others.

Let's see how each and every "offender" compares on the hypocrisy meter. That's the only one that really counts to me.

11. Meet Bobby at the Barricades
Will we finally do this and go after these rat bastards? This has got to stop. Who is CNN's biggest advertiser. We have got to boycott and we've got to make it hurt.

14. They "pulled out all the stops and skipped quite a few republicans."
Whoa is us. The whoremonger claims to have 46 POUNDS of telephone records.

My prediction is that the "list" is going to expose pols at the rate of oh, shall we say... 50/50?

And if we DON'T demand the resignation of EVERY DEM found to have made phone calls to MADAM PROSTITUTE, what will we look like?

I'll go get my shovel, so's I can bury any evidence that ONE OF US ever visited a prostitute.

God forbid there are any DEMS on her list, and GOD FORBID we should bend over backwards trying to defend them.

25. Woe. Whoa is like....Whoaaa! You know....surprised-like.
Like: Whoa! Look at that list of Sex offenders on ArmChair Subversive. Notice how there are hundreds of them and they are all Republicans? And whoa! I can only find one or two instances of Democrats who are Pedophiles and rapists......

Woe is like.....Woe, woe is me! You know.....



(BTW Armchair Subversive seems to be missing. I couldn't access it on the InterTubes. I have the list backed up but not the links)

18. Not Quite How The Fairness Doctrine Works
Since CNN is on cable, the doctrine would have never applied...also it only affected Public AFfairs and Editorials...not on the content.

What's needed are more Michael Moore's who will confront the corporate media spinners and demand accountability. You don't "force" it, you shame it on these goons and hope it affects their bottom line (the only thing that matters to them).

Wanna add "fairness"? Then add more diversity and outlets for information...revise Telcom '96.

19. No, the Conservatives are completely right!
Bill Clinton's not-Christian-enough-for-some-people's Penis, AKA "The Clenis" is to blame for everything.

The Clenis did it first. Yes, the Clenis was the first politician to ever get a BJ.
....Ever!
:7 Yeah, right!

24. Typical CNN the defenders of the GOP.
Of course they can't see any difference between an extramarital affair and a prostitution scandal. Just because one's legal and the other isn't is no reason to quibble.

"CNN the most trusted name in news." Blahh!
It should be "CNN the other FOX!"

31. James Carville was on the Situation Room panel and, when asked
about Vitter, started talking about Jefferson's frozen money. With Dems like that you don't need Republicans.
