O'Donnell blows off Chris Wallace this weekend, because he might actually practice a little thing called "journalism," and instead runs right into the open arms, and barely concealed erection, of the king of softball questions, Sean Hannity.
Pare One
(O'Donnell really does not show up until 1:20 in the clip, and trust me you don't want to see the crap in the beginning.)
Apparently O'Donnell uses giggling as her signature nervous tic in place of that crazy wink of Palin's or that deaths head grin of John McCain. And Jon Stewart was right, the "Palin" IS strong in this one. She has playing the victim down pat!
Hannity even mentions "attacks" on Sarah Palin right along with the so-called attacks on O'Donnell before going to commercial. By the way, just for those joining us late, "attacks" in Palin-speak are when anybody tells an unflattering truth about Caribou Barbie.
Part Two
Hannity does not even pretend that Palin, or her advisers, are orchestrating O'Donnell's campaign strategy.
No more national media, and pretend that the local media cannot get through because of "interference" by the national journalists. Gee where have I seen this strategy before?
So let me get this straight, debate venues in "O'Donnell world" are either Teabagger friendly and fair, or mainstream media and ready to viciously attack her.
Just like a good Evangelical, everything is either filled with light and goodness or demonic darkness.
But you know there's just something missing. If she had just the ONE more Palin like idea or crazy rule then maybe she could....wait did she just say there would be no more media allowed at her events?
The queen is dead, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
Anderson Cooper picked this up last night as well and he had a few curt words to little miss chrissy for her predictably weak behavior. He made some good points and was very frustrated. I can't believe that Fox news gets away with what it does. Jon Stewart and Stephen are going to take them down--can't wait for 10-30-10.
ReplyDeleteI think very clearly, the MSM should boycott her altogether. The only thing they should do is invite any and all people with negative information to their networks.
ReplyDeleteIf she wants to play the victim, by all means accommodate her. Just be truthful and factual
(as opposed to unfactual*).
The MSM should continually point up the purpose of the Press in the electoral process and just what type of game CO'D is playing, as directed by her mentor, Sarah Palin. It's about time the MSM did their job as it should be done.
In that opening sequence, Sarah, in her horribly grating voice, says "The time for primary debate is over. The time for unity now, that's the time upon us because the time for choosing is near."
ReplyDeleteRemember when Sarah slunk home as a loser? That was fun. Anyway on a local television interview, she struggled to be graceful and say to Alaska reporters that she was going to support our new President. Yeah, I can't find the footage but I watched it and thought at the time, Bullshit.
Hannity is calling these third-party, write-in campaigns are the "Sore Loser Syndrome" which describes the Tea Party and Sarah Palin to a "T."
More BS excuses from the I-am-woman-look-at-me-say-I'm-tough-but-run-away crowd. Achtung, Sarah. The MSM should ignore them both. Instead we get crap like what I describe in the following.
ReplyDeleteCOD rambled on with teabaggers about President Obama's use of the word "Czar" in her latest I'm-clueless video.. Geezez, these people are ignorant. The 1st President to use the word was Nixon, he had an energy czar, then their god Reagan.
To calm the bagger breath, COD read the pocket-sized Constitution, handed to her by a bagger, Article 1 sec. 9 which says :
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States:...
Come on are these people serious? They actually believe someone's been anointed a real life Czar? Holy shit the stupid is strong in baggerville. I mean, come on, it's construct for pete's sake. WTF! I'm so sick of these people and idiots like Palin and COD smoothing their fur by agreeing with them and misreading the Constitution as their justification.
O'Donnell dabbled in witchcraft, as a form of teenage rebellion. Giggle. Who doesn't do unquestionable things in H.S.? Giggle. Who doesn't regret the 80's? Giggle. We got serious issues facing our country right now (like, never before?)
ReplyDeleteShe is asking Delaware voters to judge her positions, not her personally. So have at it detractors: Against stimulus and repealing tax cuts, eliminate death tax, establish a two year temporary capital gains tax.
But her shoddy history of fiscal management, her equally casual relationship with the truth (as Sarah 2.0) and a weak employment record are all fair game, her personal weaknesses trump her 'executive experience' as a leader who could possibly tackle America's budget woes.
Gryphen, you have a chance to do the right thing and STOP reporting on her.
ReplyDeleteShe's down by 15 and is going to lose.
Just let her fade to black,
This says a lot about how low we have sunk as a country. I never thought I would see the day that a candidate for the Senate avoids avoids any questions that they simply don't want to answer. This whole victim thing is getting old and I'm pretty sure is a part of why Sarah has such high negatives.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't have watched that interview. Before, I'd only seen her as a silly girl giggling on PI and in her masturbation commercial, and I thought she was crazy but not mean. Watching her with Hannity, I realize she's a nasty smiling little piece of work, just like Sarah but without the power--yet. She reminds me of Sarah before the mean started bleeding through into her looks, only she is far, far more articulate than Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI have said from the beginning that one of these days the fascists are going to find a beautiful woman who is also smart, and then we're going to really be in trouble. Not sure they've found her yet--this one has too much baggage. But one of these days...
These two aren't even trying to hide their talking points amidst clever conversation:
ReplyDeleteI'm not talking to the national media, but I had business up here, so thanks for having me on.
I want to talk to the local media, but the calls I'm getting from the national media are tying up my line. So, locals, when I ignore you, blame it on them. Don't blame me for not checking my voicemail and calling you back on another line.
I also see she has the Palin hair and makeup.
I can't even listen any more. That's just in the first minute or so of the second video. I skipped the first.
At least Bachmann has the guts to look like herself.
Don't local people watch the national media? There is no place called National Media.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I watch the local news for is the weather and high school sports.
The nationals should stop reporting on her period. Good or Bad. Only report the polls of where the race stands and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteIf they go all negative, it will reinforce the martyr syndrome affecting all these people.
What a victim mentality these Baggers have. Well, all right wingers.
The Dems stand up for the real victims and the Right et al pretend to be victims.
Pity.
"The time for primary debate is over. The time for unity now, that's the time upon us because the time for choosing is near."
ReplyDeleteHitler could not have said it better.
No debate.
No opinion.
Just do what the fuck I say before anyone becomes the wiser.
Yep...that's Palin!
Considering how the MSM ignores discussing DEMS drama, less than ideal acquaintances and shortcomings like the plaque, yet ferociously attack EVERYTHING about REPS and teaparty candidates, I dont blame people who ban them from their lives.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, give us one difference between Odonnells past religious afiliations and Obamas associations with Wright. I'd really love to hear that from you
And any normal person with a soul is going to run from media outlets who attack her family and personal life. An attack is an attack. What happened to sticking with a person's political side only.
1. its way offensive that people cannot accept ALL forms of worship
ReplyDelete2. it's even more offensive that people refuse to discuss Rev Wright who is on tape saying quite possibly the most outrageous things about this country and anyone he feels is against him. THAT is far worse than any religiousvideo showing Palin
3. heres a post from gretawire:
Three minutes into Sean Hannity's interview with candidate O'Donnell, a viewer sent me the email below:
-----
What about “dabbling in witchcraft” is so offensive in a society that kept Harry Potter on top of juvenile novel sales for over a decade and about whom there is now a whole theme park in Florida?
Regarding Rove and Krauthammer: The more people I meet the more I like my dog.
I added Pres Obama to the top of that list the moment he told his first HUGE lie during the campaign
The baggers love this person, but not as much as they hate democrats.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats unite, damn it!!
For those discussing Rev. Wright, you are now using logical fallacies. There is no comparison between Rev. Wright and Christine O'Donnell. Who started that stupid meme as a modality of comparison? What talking point sheet did you get that from? Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
ReplyDeleteOh, and if you are discussing Rev. Wright, does that mean you finally accept that the President is not a Muslim? Because you can't have it both ways.
By the way, the witchiest one of all is Sarah Palin. She's the one who prays with witch hunters like Rev. Muthee.
Now, back to your distraction memes...
Regarding posts injecting Obama and Reverend Wright:
ReplyDelete-Obama did not take what his preacher said, nor parade extreme statements of Rev. Wright's anger or resentment upholding that must be constitutional law nor interpret the constitution to justify Wright's extreme remarks.
-Obama does not speak in delusions that God chose him to escape accountability of his career choices i.e. he does not blame God nor exploit God or religion to gain favor with nor take advantage of citizens who have deep religious convictions
-Obama did not "retreat then reload" i.e. hide in a bunker of social network collecting or manufacturing ammunition to only attack people, nor refuse to be questioned, clarify his positions nor refuse to participate in civil discussions on issues.
-Obama made a statement regarding his attendance at WRight's church, Wright's extreme statements with respect to the Reverend clarifying his personal beliefs, values and religious morals. When Wright went publicity crazy Obama accepted that and publicly distanced choosing to not participate nor justify extreme beliefs of Wright.
In contrasst Palin denies her history and goes on the attack, has public rages, puts crosshairs on people, declares they are demons "attacking her" and people receive death threats, the local police and FBI must protect or the Secret Service spend tax payer monies for Palin sstyle "reloading".
-Numerous people have come forward to admit Palin believes she can lie something never happened, lie that up is down, black is white and demand others lie with her also.
-Some people admit truth, can verbalize a poor choice, what they learned, the consesquences then some people blatantly lie it never happened and worse go on the attack declaring someone made it up when it is truth and incite people to violence.
I agree that truly strong and personally powerful people do not "retreat", hide, gun down, attack, sling mud from a social network page, nor confine self to talking points rambled nonsensically, nor blame shift their own behaviors onto others (sign of extreme weak to lack of character) nor act void of any moral compass. Nor do they need to label their self as a form of an animal (grizzly, pit bull, barracuda, elephant) when their behaviors of witholding information from the public, deleting history, blindsiding attacks to demonize others in lies are characteristics of the weakest of people and likely mentally ill dysfunctional persons.
It is 100% absolutely ridiculous that a candidate for a major office of this country is not asked serious, direct questions about serious matters that are happening in this country today and possibally the next 6 years if this person gets elected. Has everything become a joke? Palin and COD are totally irresponsible to the office, to the people that COD is to represent, to this country. Why does she get a pass?
ReplyDeleteAh yes, Rev Wright who, in that video, was giving a sermon that Pres Obama was or wasn't present? His family practices their christian faith weekly often in many different churches - have you looked into all the preachers and revs and ministers that they have sat before and prayed together with? Why no you haven't, well, isn't that funny. Rev Wright anti american really? I don't agree with what he said but he is still an American citizen using his first amendment right to free speech which I think what Palin said those worship warriors are fighting for over there - our rights, right? Her talk is hate filled, ilinformed, demeaning to our government, and our President, anybody that is non white ... yet her free speech right is never questioned. Palin has lied again and again and we are not supposed to pick on COD, her choice for a candidate of a major national office. FOX news is treating her like Palin - absolutely pathedic. They treat her more like an entertainer that's "cute". Sex sells or in this case buys a senate seat. Your logic of not to pick on her is totally ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI am curious what the MSM has considered as means to deal with public figures who seek to be in retreat and depend on opportunities for pandering and propaganda discrediting all journalists, control they be asked no questions, nor clarify their positions to be vetted by the public and block fact checking.
ReplyDeleteThis requires critical thinking by the MSM, the public due to the potentially grave consequences to citizens and the nation in the future. No debates leaves us with no way to evaluate if a cadidate has command of the facts, can think on their feet, is capable of serious and sound thought or able to identify problems and offer solutions.
It is obviously a mind game and blame shifting all media except Fox that they are malicious, report nothing but lies.
I think I'll introduce this dilemma to people I know so people are at least aware that candidates seek to be elected only from FB, twitter, morning radio shows, their kid on the cover of People, reality shows...fluff shit, control what people know which is brainwashing to gain control void of any responsiblity.
I also agree perhaps the media boycott the bully pulpit politicians who seek to cheat to win, abuse their power, win by cheating votres while playing mind games. It is unscroupulous behavior.
Palin set the tone at the VP debate announcing she "will not answer the questions". I'd like the media to report, repeat and repeat which candidates will not answer questions, state their positions, policies, nor demonstrate their ability to have command of facts, comprehend cause and effect i.e. demonstrate critical thinking skills.
Can we start a campaign that would extend to identify these candidates and remind the public including local news stations?
Is there a constitutional right to hear from candidates instead of see one on a reality show performing allegedly a sport. This is so off track to alter democracy to vote for the hottest, cutest, their sexual preferences, who gives a man an erection. I am concerned for our country.
Do we need some kind of political PAC to fund commercials to identify lame candidates..and remind the public routinely and it is their right to be informed fairly? I believe debates should still be held and those who are incompetent so refuse to participate be publicly announced they chose not to participate in traditional vetting and democratic process to evaluate who is the most qualified, best candidate by the voters. Then those with courage, competency can have a forum to be known to the public.
Could this be a movement of Citizens for Constitutional Democracy? Palin is culpaple of in hr conniving way sstripping us of free choice, freedom to be informed and the reality is dangerous.
Teh stupid, so lucrative. Don't get a real job or a title, just pursue office, any office and the sheeple will throw their "hard earned dollars" by the fistful at you.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sarah 2.0 loses the Delaware election, does she get to keep the money Sarah 1.0 raised for her, to pay her rent, food, clothing and utilities as a consolation prize?
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 5:48 - COD: I want to talk to the local media, but the calls I'm getting from the national media are tying up my line. So, locals, when I ignore you, blame it on them. Don't blame me for not checking my voicemail and calling you back on another line.
ReplyDeleteThat's the same crap Sarah spouted in her reasoning for abandoning her term the people of Alaska trusted her to do - "I want to chief executive, manage the State and whatnot, but all these frivolous ethics complaints that are costing me and the State gagillions of dollars are taking up all my time and my cabinet's time to fight them. We are exhausted and can't multitask. I mean, even my bureaucrats at the DMV and social services, even the brownshirts in the tundra have to sort through my Yahoo accounts to see what we can disclose. These haters are tying up my time, since I have such thin skin and only so much time to make their lives personally miserable by unleashing my hounds of hell. So, Alaska, and America, get mad at my haters who are making me quit, so I don't look so bad anymore, blame them. Everyone bad, not me, I'm reloading for America. And I got some monies to make for me, but not for my legal bills, you guys already more than took care of that."
She actually says she's restricting the places she will appear and then knocks Coons for only appearing in friendly venues? She's got hypocrisy down to a t.
ReplyDeleteNo more National Media ?
ReplyDeleteSo what do we call Fox network "Local Community Broadcasters"?
She's attractive, already a victim, and doesn't need palm prompters, so beware.
We need a new noun that means "a politician who is too cowardly and ignorant to face the main stream media to explain his/her policies." Use it in a sentence like: "Witchcraft-dabbler Christine O'Donnell sure is a "____". All she does is spout off inane talking points on Faux News."
ReplyDeleteAny ideas?
Sorry, Sarah. You can't coin this word. Only thinking people allowed.
The reason why Chris is so far behind is that she didin't even Win the primary. She lost all the verifiable votes. She only won the electronic votes.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bradblog.com/?p=8073
The same is likely true in Alaska.
A Palinzombie. Accent is on second sylable: Pa-LIN-zom-bie.
ReplyDeleteWhen a candidate won't face any press which doesn't lob softball questions at them or refuses to debate opponents-what that says to me is low intellectual horsepower.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much a 'Bagger standard.
O'Donnell's previous campaign staff filed a lawsuit against her for illegally using PAC funds, but it's the lamestream media's fault for pointing out that a Senate candidate could be charged with a felony?
ReplyDeleteThe fact that this woman has not been gainfully employed in any position relevant to making legislative decisions for the country and that is revealed, is that considered an attack? Aren't we allowed to know her "resume" for this job she's hoping to get?
The fact that it's documented that she lied about her educational background and this is reported, is that an attack, then why did she lie and what does this say about her character?
We have a right to question the factual background, in addition to political views and plans, of anyone who wants to attain a governmental position, with generous pay and benefits, to make decisions for our country!
Instead of proudly discussing how she will positively contribute to our country, the whackjob whines that she's being attacked by being asked to be interviewed. Should we all act dumb and blind like Hannity and show no intelligent criteria for those who want to be in charge of this country?
Witchcraft-dabbler Christine O'Donnell sure is a "Palinzombie". All she does is spout off inane talking points on Faux News.
ReplyDeleteYup, could work.
Amusing video of a young man analyzing COD:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jxa5Yloy1A
Sarah really can pick 'em.
She's the one who prays with witch hunters like Rev. Muthee.
ReplyDeletePossibly Gryphen could repost his articles and videos about "Witch Children in Africa"
This is right up Rev Muthee's alley.Does Palin believe in witches?
There is another side to Palin's intent to control communication and block perspectives, opinions and factual reporting. She and those who do this also seek to control that they speak for others e.g. opposing candidates, family and even people who knew them by abusing power to declare anyone or any medium reporting for someone else is "making things up", it is "fiction and lies". This effectively is not only all to the controller's advantage but it also robs others of their freedom of speech, to express their opinion, relate their experiences and communicate their intentions, truths, and report what they are doing as a committed person to the goals and objectives they communicate. Controllers who seek to use and abuse, control what others believe and think do things like this to isolate people from others to control what they know and do not know. Their line of defense to justify and blow spoke to conceal their true intentions is to declare others are all liars to gain power by dividing to conquer.
ReplyDeleteThe sabbotage, blocking, diverting and sick power to dictate and convince people of things others have not ever said, do not intend, have not done to villify them, control a fictional identiy "they" are evil and control the self image of saintliness, purity is as sick and evil as a person can be on a quest to wield such destrucstive power, instilling fear to terrorize people, destroy trust, destroy credibility, isolate people. It is predatory behavior and pathalogical.
Labeling people as "haters" and "attackers" who speak up to point out the controllers lies, their ever changing stories (significant of an unstable personality/manipulative control freak)is justified and the defense mechanism of projection becomes the ultimate weapon.
Palin won't address issues. She gets by controlling the focus is character, personal constantly portraying self as siant and others as sinners dependent of confabulation, making stuff up, irrational demands others agree to her lies, twisting others words, and ever making a villian out of others.The big red flag is personality disordering and ongoing blaming people (e.g. "sourdoughs" name calling (which is abuse) to jusstify her habitual lying. It is pathalogical lying when caught she tells another lie.
Re: the infamous and questionable pregnancy here are the variations of just one piece of the stories:
ReplyDelete-wore scarves to hide the pregnancy
-not want to tell people because the fetus was diagnosed with Downs
-ha ha, smug as a prepubescent teen boasting of "tight abs", yes siree..you betcha due to tight abs (terrific figure!) could "hide the pregnancy"
-Now it is the opposite: "layers and layers of clothing" "chunked up" i.e. gained weight and out of shape
-reports were that staff went on record and others also they were shocked to learn of the pregnancy, Palin did not look pregnant
-Now, Palin spins people were polite to not mention she "got chunky"
Despite Palin herself going on record in video, in speeches changing her stories, on audio, she will continue to screech it is other people lying. In her mind she did not ever say what she said and she does not lie nor is it she who "makes things up". Two contradictory and polar realities (tight abs and chunked up) cannot both be truth. This is symptomatic of a sick personality who's mental processes shift from one extreme polar reality to the opposite unpredictably. It is a sign of an unstable person. I suppose it is possible Palin has no recall of her previous polar and extreme reality when she shifts to the opposite.
The root of her extreme counter realities, mental instability is not our issue. What is of concern is to not encourage nor stand by and be silent lest she gain more power or become a candidate and our great country be in harms way due to Palin's pathology or mental incapacities that cuase trouble, chaos, constant drama, chaos and turbulence distracting from resolution, peace and doing what is best for our fellow man encouraging people to come forward in good conscience for the future of our country, the reputation of our country, solidarity, and best interests of the people.
We would not elect a precocious toddler who's reality is either I hate mommy or I love mommy, (tight abs...chunked up) for polarized though processes come with tantrums and we do not let two year olds be kings, dictators nor Potus of a democracy even if they can arraange a reality show and make alot of money.
Wait and see, if she runs she'll decompensate, act out projecting the videos, recordings of her were edited..made up, projecting shifting from the reaslity she did that, is the perpetrator to crying victim and she is being attacked.
Our time is better spent
I look at Palin and O'Donnell as Tweedledee and Tweedldum. They are equally hateful and clueless, and because the establishment GOP has supported these losers and their ilk, they are between a rock and a hard place of their own making.
ReplyDeleteJust when I think the Party of No could not devolve any further into the depths of rank stupidity, they surprise me repeatedly. They have painted themselves into a corner by endorsing candidates whose cluelessness and ignorance are unparalleled. Because they have concentrated on winning at any cost, and not thinking long-term, they are stuck with a bunch of shallow nitwits, of whom O'Donnell is the latest addition.
If any so-called "Independents" thinks for a moment that people like these have their interests at heart, they are in for a rude and well-deserved awakening if they are dumb enough to turn Congress over to the Republicans in November.
