Scarbrough
Did you guys just see that exchange? He had Ann Coulter on and a Democratic stategist. Clarke was the topic (of course), he let Ann get her criticism off for a long time (no interruptions) and then when he asked the Democrat a question (asking if Clarke was lying in 2002 or is he lying now blah blah blah), he wouldn't even let her answer. He kept interrupting her! I swear the exchange lasted a long time but he was doing most of the talking during HER time. He let her say a few words afterwards, and then he said we got to go and he got the last word in bashing Clarke (with Ann snickering in the background). It was really horrible. I could tell on the female's face (don't remember her name) that she was getting very angry with this prick. I'll bet she won't ever return on his show. I wouldn't.

You can tell the republicans are really pissed at Clarke and it is showing BIG TIME.

No wonder I don't watch this ass's show!

3. yeah it was vile and oh .... so .... obvious
They had a split screen with this poor democratic girl in the middle between scarface and Ann-the-man.

I tell you what, you could really see the difference between a real human being and these reptilian nasty pieces of shit that are can only pretend to be human.

If one thing has come out of this Clarke situation, it is that the invisible iron curtain of the media has been revealed big-time, like the man behind the curtain in the Wiz of Oz.

It has never been more obvious how the fascist media such as Scarbrew and Faux and Wolfie on CNN are interested in ANYTHING but the truth.

It's like Ann was doing a Cruelle DeVille impersonation.

4. I saw that jackass do this
what a douchebag. Coulter's a clown. It amazes me to see them self-destruct like this. Nary a word about the substance of Clarke's allegations, just swipes at his character. They made a HUGE deal out of Clarke saying that "the look on face when discussed al queda with her led him to believe that she never heard about them." Then they play a recording of her talking about Bin laden before Bush became pResident. Scarborough said: "That's all I need to know about Clarke." Of course, intern-killer! Gotcha. Now go back to Florida and confess, you dweeb.

11. I don't think thats whats going on here.
I may be wrong, but I think what Clarke said about Rice is that "she looked at me like she didn't know what I was talking about", or something like that - I haven't read the book. He didn't mean to suggest that Rice didn't know who Al Qaeda was, but rather that she didn't take his warning about them seriously.

This is how I interpret this incident Clarke mentions in his book. I could be wrong, maybe someone else knows. But if I'm right then you would expect a democratic operative to have researched it and to then know how to handle the issue. This poor girl obviously did not.

She didn't handle the difference between the "2002 briefing" Clarke did and his book and testimony either. Its obvious the briefing is him acting as a loyal employee of an administration trying to put the best spin on the press, thats his job. The book is his version of events, not as a politician, but as a private citizen telling the truth as he knows it.

Overall the democrats Ive seen, including this girl, have been very poor in defending Clarke. Republicans are prepared and much tougher; Democrats are unprepared and wimps - as usual.

15. Dems would defend if given the chance
what's going on here is the right-wing corporatist press trying to shove this shit down everybody's throat.

They're not LETTING anybody refute their charges, don't you get that?

16. Thats just an excuse.
You've gotta speak up when your on these shows. She should have said, " Hey, wait a minute. Are you gonna let me speak or not?" Instead she allowed herself to be shouted down. Coulter would have never allowed that to happen to her, no matter if it was two against one or not. Democrats need to learn how to stop being wimps. If they're gonna just whine and make excuses like you suggest, then it's over already.

17. dude, why do you think they picked her???
They picked her because they could walk all over her!

Have you ever seen this "democratic strategist" before?

They could have gotten her from a goddamn acting agency for all we know!

It's propaganda, buddy! There's nothing real about it! There's no arguing! There's no arguing ALLOWED! That woman was put on the show to be bashed, that's all there is to it! It's a 100% fixed fight, no real fighting allowed!

I hope you understand this.

7. What did ypu expect
An actual debate? None of these tools ever have anyone on than can debate. I would love to see Joe conason or Eric Alterman tear one of them a new asshole but that's not how the game is played in big corporate media. Thank God Al Franken is launching next Thursday.

8. Hey, at least he didn't murder her. Must not have been sleeping with her
Oh, excuse me, I meant at least he didn't find her body in his office and get a coroner and police chief to lie that she had no obvious signs of traumatic injury and then start a false rumor in the media that the dead girl had a history of epilepsy and seizures and then angrily demand that the same media outlets stop spreading that lie, and then have no comment when it turned out the woman died of natural causes by striking her head really hard against a desk, leaving an obvious skull injury that the aforementioned coroner and police chief lied about so that no one would ask questions (by their own admission), and then reiterate that this wasn't the woman he was having an affair with that caused his recent divorce and announcement of resignation from Congress.

So it could have been worse.

12. Dems and Liberals need to refuse to appear on Fox
Isn't that the channel Scarbrough is on? It's a joke. If they start refusing to participate on those obviously biased "opinion" shows it will relegate them to their rightful status - right alongside the National Enquirer.

18. You can tell how much I watch him
I just remember he went to Hollywood to prove how liberal they were and I changed the channel. I guess I just assumed I had dialed into Fox!

19. seems like he's always on when I'm trying to catch some news
in the evening. I always seem to miss Olberman's show and get Scarface instead. It SUCKS, let me tell you. I don't watch him most of the time, but tonight I had to, it was like watching one of those Bum Fights or something. Just a set up bash-a-thon by these two nasty reptilian fuckwads.

Ugly stuff.

13. Joe is scum .... Coulter is trash
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 11:47 PM by SayitAintSo
And she is looking trashier .... I write nasty letters evey time she appears on one of these shows. It could be my imagination, but I don't think she gets as much air time as she use to cause folks like us write letters of outrage condeming her lies and nastiness.

20. So What Were You Doing Watching Him?
If you hate him so much why did you tune in? You just helped him boost his ratings.

I can understand watching him so you could find material for something, but the way you described it….

I was reminded of the early 1970’s when Porn was coming out. There were plenty of jokes about people who were offended about pornographic movies. And they were so offended the kept going back again and again and again….

21. I surfed into that channel tonight also... saw that
freaking setup with coulter and the other woman. I totally agree about scarborough <sp?

He IS a prick, but then it's his trip.

In response to those who think we shouldn't watch those shows, I disagree. How would we know what they are up to if we don't study their shit. I think we should NEVER back down from an invite to one of those shows et al; the only thing is, the guests need to HAVE THEIR RAP DOWN MUCH BETTER. Seems like those shows always pick someone rather soft and easily ruffled. Let ME get on one of those shows and they won't invite me back LOL I give tit for tat, no holds barred. :evilgrin:

22. i saw that! Scarybrow has sunken to hannity's level of disgusting
it was really pathetic. he did not let her get a word in edgewise. he was as crass as dennis miller.

the one thing i got from this desperate episode is that they are REALLY scared. scarborough was not this rabid during the early primaries when he thought they had it in the bag. since then, he's been showing more teeth. that's always a good barometer. the more teeth, the more ground they are losing....but wait, these are the "compassionate conservatives" <--GAG!
