Fox & Friends Anchor Walks Off The Set After Obama Debate

Sissy.

Wouldn’t last a minute on a blog.

By the way, if John McCain had uttered anything about a “typical black person” there’d be wall-to-wall coverage from every outlet from the New York Times to CNN.  Olbermann would name McCain his “Worst Person In The World” and there’d be calls for the GOP to nominate someone else.

Now, I don’t think Obama is the “Worst Person In The World” because of this and I’d actually be delighted if the Democrats nominated him (he’s toast, I’m telling you), but I don’t see any problem with holding Obama to the same standards John McCain would be held to.

Was he trying to be funny? OR was he serious? I couldn’t tell. What a creep!

wooo, I’m nervous about that prediction Rob, you weren’t right in 2006, so I’m not too worried about your prediction in 2008.

I certainly hope that this is “tongue in cheek”.  Brian Kilmeade (I think that is him??) at any rate, he is a complete and utter moron.  He can actually barely read copy…

As for Robs ability to “spot em”.....hmmmmmmm

gotta love “fair and balanced news”....

On the issue of someone calling someone else “typical Z”.  If one is referring to a scientifically proven statistic such as leg length vs total height, then one could say, typical to that race.  But this goes farther than that.  There is a double standard and it is past time to bury that just as certain people have buried two words!  Supposedly.  And just for certain other people, and, and , and ....

OK, that was fun watching.  I was horrified when I listen to the speech because of what seemed to me to be a cold and callous use of what I feel should be a ‘off limits’ person, i.e. a loving grandmother.  I was really listening until that statement by Sen. Obama.  I’m sorry, the Senator is disingenuous, calculating, and manipulative.  I don’t know how he has such a following.  He is all rhetoric.  I felt very sad for his grandma.  Not one apology for the use of Sen. Clinton being used as a whipping post and scapegoat for ‘white America’.  I am a former Erie, PA resident.  I hope no one gets fired over this and that things smooth out.  I’m praying for a miracle that Sen. Obama doesn’t get the Democratic nomination.

Brian Kilmeade walks off because Chris Wallace Fox anchor has just spent 6 minutes on air criticizing the the shoddy work
the group was doing.

Then the two blonds go back to the same shtick .
Brian Kilmeade then throws up his hands and leaves.

I watch Fox and friends every morning for about 15 minutes every day while I eat my breakfast. ( Please don’t judge me for that. I know the show is lame but my local news is even worse and all I want is to eat my toast and drink a glass of milk with mindless banter in the back ground.). But any way, this Brian guy on Fox has been a real estrogen basket case lately. Last week he got into a pissing match with a different female co host who basically made him look like a dip shit. Maybe he’s a liberal and all he needs is a hugg, or a swift kick in the ass. Whatever works.

That’s my gossip for the day…back to you Rob

Yeah, Obama is toast especially when you consider the polls that show him BEATING John McCain nation wide. Just the fact that the GOP is having to nominate McCain shows you how far to the left this country has gone over the last few years. Lets face it: Bush blew it.

Which polls?
Real Clear Politics shows McCain beating both Obama and the Hildebeast by narrow margins.
It’s still a long way to November!


For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Deb,

Obi-Wan-Obama and his racist minister, Half-White Wright are going down together. One poll indicates that 20% of Democrats from both camps will swing to McCain in protest.

Face it, roughly speaking, 20% of Democrats are either bigots or sexists.

Have a good day smile

See how this works people?  Only democrats get labeled as bigots or sexists, if you call a Republican one of those things, you are a racist or hate America.

If Wright had said the very same thing about Republicans, we would never hear the end of it.  But nobody says a word to MickeyMouse, because nobody truly has principles or cares about truthiness.

They only care about tearing down Democrats and ignoring the truth. 

Fantastic job.

Hannitized:  Reasonable people will agree that the Rev. Wright debacle is not going to help Obama. Lots and lots of dems will - right or wrong - get behind that curtain and vote their disapproval.

But the bigger loss to dems may be the mess they created in Michigan and Florida. Thats where lots of angry dems will either stay home or cross over on Election Day if their delegations are not seated at the convention.

The dems are now in an even tighter spot: If Obama is nominated, they will lose many women and those who recall the Wright scandal.  If Clinton is nominated, blacks will stay away in droves.

The DNC has about 6 months to straighten out this mess.

The worst part is that Obama was forced to oppose a revote in both states because he, like everybody else, knew he would lose in them.  I know I wouldn’t vote for him in the general election if he refused to give me a real shot in the primaries....

In practice, this probably means he loses Florida if the election is somewhat close.

Humorless Hannitized: Since the Democrats are using the arguments that anyone who votes against Hillary or Obama is sexist or racist, it is with tongue in cheek that it can be said of those 20% who are not going to vote for them are “sexist” or “racist”.
If you had either a sense of humor, or a brain, you should have been able to figure that out.

Proof. Your intelligence (or lack thereof) are on display here.  You ever read anything Mickey writes?  Half of his comments suggest the same thing.

Further, in your pea-brained mind.  What do you think he meant when he used the word “protest”, when he wrote:

Hannitized on March 22, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Hannitized:  Every statement has form and substance. Are you reacting to the form of Mickey’s statement or its substance?  I think you frequently launch - or get drawn into - battles over the form - which offends you - instead of the substance, where the real battle lies.

What do you think he meant when he used the word “protest”, when he wrote:

Sorry! I thought the answer to that was so freakin’ obvious it didn’t need an answer! Here it is for the kiddie pool members among us: They would protest the process by which they believe that their candidate was short changed. All of that monkey business with disenfranchising Michigan and Florida could well come back and bite the Democratic party big time!

The fact that it is, by Mickey’s statement, and your own admission, a “protest” lends credence to my argument, not yours. (The fact that the dim bulb you call a mind didn’t pick this up doesn’t surprise me!)
If they are voting “in protest”, they are not voting because of any inherent prejudice. Hence, the tongue in cheek reference to “racists” and “sexists”.

Too complex for you Proof?

Care to diagram that sentence, dimwit? I’ll show you an example of concise and well thought out expression as opposed to...yours!

Why are Americans so focused on races? Cant they just stop talking about black this white that and discuss how we are going to make this country a better place for all people. I think getting sidetracked into these race arguments takes so much time that could have been used in a more constructive manner.

Doom on May 11, 2008 at 09:18 pm

Doom: The truth is, it’s Wright and his black liberation theology who are focused on race.  To them, everything is about race, to the extent that they believe in a “black Jesus”.  We just want a President who represents all the people of America, not just the ones with black skin.
