CNN (Clinton News Network) Twisted report on Obama and Rev. Wright

[FrenchieCat]

They are going to gift us with Obama's Pastor words, and attempt to twist it that the Black Community has turned against Obama. In otherwords, the kitchen sink being thrown at Obama by CNN. Wonder who's work they are doing?

It is on now....Can't stand the newscaster.

[Bluebear]

1. "Clinton News Network" - well, that solidifies your resume, Frenchie Cat.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Thanks!

:hi:

[jackson_dem]

9. Yup. Now we know what her angle is here...

[QC]

18. Last time I heard "Clinton News Network" was when I used to lurk at Free Republic.

Amazing how many of their golden oldies have found their way to DU.

[MagickMuffin]

53. Back in 2000 it was the Communist News Network

I was watching CNN during the 2000 (S)election fiasco and some idiot with a bullhorn kept shouting through it Communist News Network.

Since I don't go to Freeperville I didn't know about Clinton News Network.

Fascinating.

[JackORoses]

86. what is your angle now that your sorry excuse for a candidate is beaten?

[Skittles]

49. repuke central

:puke:

[tekisui]

3. Not black enough...too black....not black enough to be too black...

Would someone do a skin-color test so we know exactly how black he is?

And how afraid we whities need to be?

goddamn this is stupid shit.

[DawgHouse]

4. I never heard Clinton News Network

until my repub, O'Reilly loving boss used it recently.

[MonkeyFunk]

6. It was a staple on FreeRepublic for years

[Bluebear]

8. Jinx

[JoFerret]

15. Yes. very juvenile and stupid

.

[DawgHouse]

16. Oh, I don't hang around over there.

I don't want to get any crazy on me.

[stillcool]

99. I miss Ted Turner...

it's a shame what has happened to CNN.

[Bluebear]

7. OMG it's been a Dittohead saying since the 90's. usually spelled Klintooon or something ridiculous.

Tres freeperish.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. heheh

I had started to type that it was usually "Klintoon News Network" and then changed it. I figured it would be too confusing for the OP.

[Skwmom]

62. Funny. I was watching CNN cheering for Clinton yet again and thought

CNN must mean Clinton News Network (and I'm sure I wasn't the only one).

[FrenchieCat]

5. Rick Sanchez - Yuk.....

Opinionated asshole pushing the envelope.

[MagickMuffin]

55. Ohhh, the Dirty Sanchez

:rofl:

Yep, Sanchez is a pathetic piece of work.

Tase me bro Sanchez.

[elixir]

61. I guess this thread didn't turn out as you had hoped.

[grantcart]

87. Actually don't think Sanchez actually has an opinion = he just pretends

He is great at being tasered - I can watch that all day long

[Omega3]

10. actually they said many AA's are mad at BO for throwing Rev. Wright under the bus, guess there's no

kitchen sink, perhaps just a strainer?????

[FrenchieCat]

13. These are Hillary Preachers......

That's the problem.

Most Ministers know that Obama is doing the right thing.

[Omega3]

19. the gentleman in the brown suit is a start BO supporter, the one wonman interviewed said it's ok for

pastors to talk politics from the pulpit (which is a violation of their non-exempt status)

certainly not pro-Hillary

[woolldog]

77. yes and pstors and the rest of the black leadership were pro-clinton

....a lot of good it did them. They are not in tune with the will of their constituents.

[democrattotheend]

24. He didn't even throw him under the bus

He defended the man while disavowing the statements. This is ridiculous.

[FrenchieCat]

31. Of course it is......but desperation is the key.

Rick Sanchez is an instigator to the upteenth degree. Thank God he doesn't appear everyday.

[JoFerret]

11. Obama's Judas moment? Didn't see it but ....

...do I take from your comment that other black ministers are upset at Obama's betrayal of Wright?

Raises a trust issue. Every which way.

Are they sick and tired of pandering politicians?

That would be growth and progress.

[FrenchieCat]

14. I know better......I am part of that community.

My husband is a Baptist Minister.

[JoFerret]

17. Know better than what?

To think he is a Judas?

My advice is - don't watch TV - seriously.

[FrenchieCat]

23. To know that you are an instigator

The pastor of our Church was on the phone earlier today being interviewed by the WAPO.

You are way over your head, and don't have a fucking clue.

[Mags]

30. Gosh, we don't use the trashy language in my religion. Is that

normal in your Husband's church?

[JoFerret]

37. This is over our heads obviously

We mere mortals deal with human news.

[FrenchieCat]

40. Correct. But beyond that, I'm not a minister.......

Did you want to hold my husband and my church accountable for me, as well?

[Mags]

57. well, birds of a feather flock together.

You know when you lay down with dogs you get up with flea. At least that is what I have always heard.

[blogslut]

65. I love Flea!

[Mags]

71. It's a good thing you do.

[blogslut]

74. because....

?

[Mags]

82. you seem like the type to attrack them

[blogslut]

83. because...

?

[Mags]

91. your eye twinkles and that is a pure sign of the flea attraction.

[blogslut]

92. Nice response!

You win the prize for insult back-tracking.

[Mags]

96. thanks so much, you are more gracious then I thought you would be.

[FrenchieCat]

85. So your a dog and you have fleas?

Sounds personal to me.

[Mags]

95. Oh, little Frenchie, you know you have had the fleas before

you seem as though you would attrack
these little fleas to withdraw the bad blood that you feel toward anyone but
Bo folks, but you always somehow pass the buck to someone else to get you off the hook so you can pretend to look nice.

[JoFerret]

35. How on earth

....would I be expected to know the details of your personal life? Why would I care to?

So hubby is a minister interviewed by WAPO.

And....? Somehow this is relevant?

[cjsmom]

45. Nice.... You use that language in your husband's church?

.

[Binka]

68. OK Mary Poppins, She Isn't Speaking At Her Husband's Church

She is on an internet discussion forum. If you are gonna get bent and start lecturing over the fuck bomb I'd suggest you get lost. Have a blessed day Poppins!

[Saturday]

47. Does your husband, the Baptist minister, know

you're using the f word on a message board?

[Bluebear]

60. When she posts, the message board instantly becomes a chapel.

:crazy:

[FrenchieCat]

67. Does your mother know

your diaper needs changing?

[Cha]

20. Fucking Orwellian Bottom Liners..

Trying to manipulate with half truths distorted into the way they want it to go..not in the natural flow.

cnn needs to self-implode on their own petard. Without cnn and faux where would hilaryworld be now?

[jconner27]

21. Obama supporters= GOP

[QC]

28. Well, that's a little harsh, but

it is amazing how much alike they sound.

[RBInMaine]

43. You're ignorant.

[jconner27]

90. Repeating what Republicans say in the 90s

Obama supporters sound like they're lifting their script about the Clintons from the 1990s. As hacks like Kos, Rude Pundit and Randi Rhodes have cried for the past couple weeks that Hillary "attacks" will harm Obama if he wins, well how in the hell Democrats repeating what Republicans say help the Dem cause?

[redstate_democrat]

22. Ok.

So black people are supposed to be mad at Obama now? I wish they make up their mind as to what black people should think this week. I'm getting confused trying to follow these orders.

[thevoiceofreason]

25. Exactly -- all the white guys at CNN tell you to be mad at Obama because he hates blacks

And see, we brought you a couple of blacks who don't like him either.

[redstate_democrat]

27. Ok.

I'll be sure to vote for Hillary now. I love when people tell me how I think. Makes things much easier for me.

[thevoiceofreason]

72. Wasn't telling you how to think.

Seemed to me that I was criticizing the media presentation of the "issue" and agreeing with your first post.

Shit man, I don't care who you vote for. Just don't paint me with some fucked up Dali brush.

[Kaylee]

75. Black Central never sends my email on time...I had no clue to be mad at Obama.

[Mags]

26. don't watch it, go to MSNBC and they can reinforce you

with the good stuff on BO. Problem solved.

[FrenchieCat]

29. It ain't about Barack only at this point....

it is about them trying to turn the Black community against one another. It won't work though....except for the 10 percenters who support Hillary. Black folks will not be hoodwinked.
Guess that CNN doesn't know this yet.

[Mags]

32. Hope your not bamboozled either.

[FrenchieCat]

36. Right....I'm not buying the Oke Doke!

[gabeana]

33. I'm not worried not many people watch CNN

on a sunday night, there big shows barely bring in a million listners

[ariesgem]

94. This is so typical of the MSM.

Whenever the media covers a story about us, they always frame the story for the consumption of a white audience. They cherry-pick just the right 'experts' to interview who are willing to say exactly what the media's 'audience' wants to hear. In the meantime, we're sitting in our living rooms watching it saying WTF!

No, Black folks cannot not be hoodwinked. The ways of the media is old news to us.

[malik flavors]

34. I actually thought that was pretty fair coverage. It's probably good that black preachers are mad...

it makes you sympathize with what he's going through more. The difficult line he has to walk. I think it will make people more understanding of this whole situation.

It makes it seem like he's rejected the black church and the black church has rejected him, which gives scared anglo-saxons comfort.

Haha, or something like that.

[FrenchieCat]

38. I agree that the coverage was better than I had expected......

considering that Rick Sanchez is a sleaze.

What is the name of that Black guest commentator (I forgot it)? He was excellent....and tore the whole charade down all by himself...and left Rick kinda of holding the bag.

[slinkerwink]

50. tell me more please

[FrenchieCat]

63. Well, the Black Commentator (Ron forgot his last name)

stated that it really wasn't fair to bring up these Black minister who were criticizing Obama, because one can always find a couple of people of the same race that will still disagree with Obama (which is exactly what CNN was dealing with, although they didn't want to admit it). He said that it wasn't appropriate to play these soundbytes out of context without taking a broader view of the church, the work that Wright had done in his 36 years career, etc....

Sanchez didn't seem happy that he was been brought back to reality, that this pastor business is not what he would like it to be.

They had a panel of 3 clergy members of various churches, one woman and two men. One of the men was a conservative, and the woman identified herself as a Democrat. The other, I didn't catch. They were all relatively measured, except for the conservative, who started out well, started lying about what should be said and shouldn't be said in at the pulpit. Ron, the Black commentator took him down on his point.

[EffieBlack]

93. Funny - I don't recall hearing any of these ministers who are criticizing Obama for disavowing

Wright's comments utter a peep in Wright's defense when this first came up. Perhaps if they had said something and not left Obama hanging out there by himself, he would have HAD to disavow Wright's comments.

And, while we're on the topic, they were also strangely silent over the last year as Obama has been accused of being a Muslim to the point that he had to highlight his commitment to his church. Where were these oh-so-concerned people then?

They need to just shut up already and go back to wherever they came from. They have absolutely NO moral standing on which to criticize Obama at this late date.

[loveangelc]

69. roland martin who needs to be obama's communications director or something imo

[FrenchieCat]

81. Yes, I agree. He's quick and he's good........

Really clear on what he is saying.

[anigbrowl]

39. Who cares? i watch CNN all the time

some of the presenters are neutral, some are idiots. Like every other news network. Face it, all your American TV news is crap. I roll my smug European eyes in your general direction to express my disdain for American TV.

hmm, think I'll have a glass of wine as wine as well, just to reinforce my snooty attitude. Seriously, don't bother getting worked up over it, it's not worth it.

[FrenchieCat]

42. Thanks!

I believe that our media is broken as well. Come to think of it, most of this lousy coverage started back in 1996, with the signing of the Telecommunications Act. That would have been Bill Clinton signing it.

[RBInMaine]

41. No, it's the corporate media right wing BULLSHIT news network.

[FrenchieCat]

44. This was exciting! I was able to put 3 more people on my ignore list.......

that were up above in the thread. I feel cleaner now, like someone who just threw out the garbage and then took a shower!

[cjsmom]

46. I too feel like taking a shower, and signing a

petition for amnesty for illegals. Path to citizenship, that's my focus now. Thank you.... You make everything so clear.

[Saturday]

48. I'm sure you represent your husband well.

:sarcasm:

[FrenchieCat]

51. Thanks!

:hi: :sarcasm:

[madrchsod]

54. yes i restocked my ignore list since the "pastorgate"

shit started. i believe most of the people have never stepped foot in a church let alone a gospel church. sometimes i just sit here and stare at screen in disbelief

[Bluebear]

56. You can't believe people have never gone to church? What's so odd about atheism?

[madrchsod]

73. sorry about the blanket statement

i really did`t think that out and word it out right. i was aiming at hypocrisy of "christians". i meant no offense to atheists

combining religion and politics serves neither

[Bluebear]

78. 'combining religion and politics serves neither' - i heartily agree

:toast:

[jlake]

52. Now it all makes sense.

:think: :think: :think:

[elixir]

58. It's always HRCs fault with you, why don't you face the fact that Obama knew he

had a problem and didn't deal w/ it effectively. He knew when he began the campaign, Wright even acknowledged it. Now he's paying for it, let's hope he can clean it up.

[FrenchieCat]

64. Plueaze....

Wright is only a problem due to narrow minded uneducated unempathetic regressive types. Guess it wasn't realized that there were so many of those in the Democratic party. Guess it was figured that they would belong to the other party.

[Major Hogwash]

97. When are you going to wake up and smell the burning hair?

Hillary's hair is on fire because she didn't have this wrapped by February 5th.

After she lost in Iowa, they held a meeting and she said, "I'll do anything to win."

Well, it appears she is willing to do anything to win - even smear a sittng U.S. Senator!

[rodeodance]

59. too bad

[FrenchieCat]

66. Actually, it wasn't too bad at all.......

It was given a better perspective than what I had previously seen.

I know you hate that though. You probably wouldn't mind if a civil war broke out, as long as Hillary would end up the nominee.

[rodeodance]

70. stop ASSuming you know what I mind or do not mind.

[Major Hogwash]

98. So you don't mind watching Hillary self-destruct right before your eyes?

I've got some popcorn, want some?

[BeyondGeography]

76. Missed it..."Black Magic" on ESPN, a fantastic documentary about basketball in black colleges

in the pre-integration era was on at the same time, and it was loaded with heartbreak and inspiration. I can barely begin to understand what Obama's candidacy means to people who endured the absolute worst this country has to offer...Part Two is tomorrow night at 9 EST, which gives you another chance to take time out from our pathetic MSM and understand why we are where we are in this country.

[cooolandrew]

79. I doubtfolks will fall for it I am sure evenAfrican American s are aware fo themeida.

[cooolandrew]

80. I doubtfolks will fall for it I am sure evenAfrican American s are aware fo themeida.

[anonymous171]

84. If people think that the (radical) black community is against Obama, they will think better of him.

That may help him roll this off.

[FrenchieCat]

88. But I find that sad......

and telling of the type of society we really are.

[anonymous171]

89. I do too.

Weirdly enough,I actually agree with many of Wright's statements.
