I can't believe this attack on CNN by Soledad O'Brien on Imam Rauf |
|
She's attacking him mercilessly with nonsense rightie talking points.
I'm really impressed with the guy.
Back after a commercial break.

1. Okay, now they're saying the Imam is 'far too outspoken'. |
|
This is sickening.
I hope someone else is watching this political lynching.

9. She was one of "them" to lead the attack when Bill Clinton's peccadillo turned |

the republicans rabid. I think she was on MSNBC, at the time.

I'll never forget how she sneered at anti-Bush demonstrators outside the 2004 RNC convention - she said something like, "Why should these people be taken seriously?"

5. Maybe. For decent church-goin' women, with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces. |
|
Now that you mention it, it WAS a professional job. I agree.
Surgical, even.
The media has their narrative about this and they are determined to see it through.

8. If you consider right wing talking points 'good questions', then yeah it was great. |

Can't wait for the transcript. Looking forward to it.

15. It was a hatchet job. |
|
Her bitter, pinched, angry face revealed it all.
Look. Look at her angry stance. Tell me Soledad O'Brien hadn't made up her mind.
Bullshit. If I can say that respectfully.
