[C_U_L8R]

8. Maybe for you Wolf, it was a grand slam

But for the rest of us.. we saw a narrowminded vision fueled xenophobia

[ColonelTom]

9. Well, it looks like they all got the memo from the McCain campaign.

Criticism of McCain/Palin will not be tolerated. All hail the almighty Republican Talking Points!!

[Solly Mack]

11. Do those so-called journalists ever look for substance?

I know the answer already

[Union Thug]

12. WTF? What world are they in? More proof the corporate media

is the propaganda organ of the rethuglican party

[my3boyz]

13. You are kidding me right? This is such bullshit! Are they going to have

all DEMS on Larry King Live to correct the lies? I wish Biden would show up on Larry King Live and destroy that witch!

[Bozita]

14. CNN needs a close race. It ups the viewers and the profits.

Truth be fucked.

The MSM rolls on.

[AirmensMom]

15. Oh, jeez!

:banghead:

They should just go and listen to any speech at all from last week to remind them of what a home run is. They set the bar so low for her that all she had to do was stand up there without fainting and they'd think she hit it out of the park. :eyes:

[bdamomma]

16. Wolf should be slammed.

[AnnetteFun]

20. Oh, please, Buchanan, she's an "excellent speaker"?

She looked and sounded like a beauty pageant contestant giving a speech....

[pyro858]

If he's still around tomorrow!

[modester]

18. What a bunch of crap

So tired of this fucking bullshit. Smug, shrill, bitchy. My post has no value I'm just venting

[Bluebear]

19. Vent away and welcome to DU.

[modester]

23. Thanks

:toast:

[Marnieworld]

24. But she knows how to do that from her journalism degree

And coverage of local sports not as a seasoned politician.

They got their marching orders alright.

[kskiska]

25. Scneider wasn't terribly impressed

Schneider: Palin's no pushover
Posted: 11:25 PM ET

From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider
ST. PAUL (CNN) – Democrats who thought Sarah Palin would be an easy, soft target are in for a surprise: this is not a woman to be trifled with. Her opponents may have thought she’d be a deer in the headlights, like Dan Quayle. They were wrong.

(McCain’s appearance at the end of her speech wasn’t quite as surprising – that kind of pre-speech convention appearance has become almost expected.)

Here’s what Republicans got out of the evening:

1: They proved that Palin’s no pushover. They clearly established that.

2: They established a tough, even bullying tone to this night of the convention which bordered on the ugly, mocking their opponents.

3: Speakers gave strong testimony to McCain’s character.

Here’s what they didn’t accomplish: An answer to what they will do to solve this country’s economic problems. Without that, they’re not going to get anywhere.

And now it rests with McCain.

26. They keep stirring the pot to hopefully keep the viewers interested.

If they were to be honest and admit this election is going to be a
blowout then the media wouldn't sell nearly as much advertising.

[workinclasszero]

27. Damn corporate MSM bootlickers!

Piss on them all! A bunch of fascist enabler f**ks!

[spanone]

28. i knew this would be their reaction....this whole cnn thing , i don't know

[defendandprotect]

35. Why are you watching CNN? Why do you need someone to tell you what you saw??

Watch C-span . . . or PBS if they're carrying it ---

otherwise, you're just watching commentators . . .

[Moochy]

29. Cafferty needs to flying tackle wolfie about now

anderson cooper, ugh.

[Marr]

30. Who didn't see this coming? As soon as they all started repeating that

'it'll all be decided by how she does with her speech', you could see it. They want to set a nice low bar that any fool could hop over, then announce it as some great victory and excuse to "move on".

[Jack Rabbit]

31. He works for AOL/Time Warner

He must've gotten his orders.

[ladjf]

32. Bush shit.

[JVS]

34. Media WHORES

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. Did they watch the same speech?

It was predictable and the delivery was the worst since oh my Speech Communication class back in ... oh it seems another lifetime

I guess I could say that if I got paid what these two get paid though

[Dr Fate]

37. The Liberal media. n/t
