Why do I watch Crossfire?

[maveric]

Ross-Lehthin is preaching nazi propaganda about "fighting a worthy war" against terror. OMFG! This woman is the worst.

What does Iraq have to do with "terrorism"?

[RubyDuby in GA]

1. We turned it into a terrorist breeding ground

That's what.

[maveric]

2. Now that screeching witch is saying that Clinton ignored

terrorists and alowed the 1st WTC bombing as well as bombings at embassies and the USS Cole.
At the same time Novak is sitting there with a shit eating grin on his agreeing with her.

5. This is where todays television networks just ain't gonna help

In the old days there would be some quality investigative piece to really look into what Clinton was and wasn't responsible for. And the journalists would not give mic time to wacky liars such that you are listening to now.

4. True

And its beginning to look like we can't undo it too.

6. I'm watching it too - such torture. Not sure of his name but the gentleman

speaking for our sides punchlines keep falling flat. I wish people would stop letting Nofacts and others like him mis-characterize Kerry's remarks when he came back from Vietnam. They conveniently leave out that he was speaking about accounts he heard personally from other soldiers. And, if you listen to these clowns you'd think that we were just absolute angels in Vietnam and atrocities were committed only by the other side.

7. Larry Gatlin was at least fair in answering the stupid

questions by Novakula. You could tell Novak was not pleased.

8. That little harpy said that Kerry claimed "all" soldiers committed

atrocities in Viet Nam. He never said that.

9. yah, I caught that.... and Belgala and Ackerman let that one slide...

I was very dissappointed.

10. Crossfire is awful.

I think it's part of the problem with politics and the media in America today. On a show whose supposed purpose is to debate political issues, there is rarely ever any debate whatsoever. All they do is sit there and try to zing the other side. They all do it. There is no intelligent discussion ever.

Somebody makes an outlandish statement (for which there is usually an appropriate response/explanation) followed by a lot of unintelligent yelling from both sides, and then on to the next topic/outlandish statement. I hate it.

There is never any intelligent discussion. Neither side will ever concede a point even if they are obviously wrong. All that matters is getting that initial zinger and then yelling loud enough that the response can't be heard. They all do it. Sadly, I think James Carville is the worst one, but not by very much. It just upsets me to watch it anymore. I'd rather watch Bill Maher or even Tough Crowd.
