Hey, Blitzer, you are not deaf, but are you dumb: s-h-e w-a-s a-s-k-e-d

[question everything]

Yesterday on your program, you were told at least twice that Hillary was asked about Wright and she replied that had he been her pastor she would not have stayed in that church.

She did not raise the issue, she was asked. That you offered a different response, well, you are not running for office, now, are you?

And, of course, had she followed your example to avoid replying, to shift the topic, you would have complained that she did not answer a direct question.

And people here think that CNN is a pro-Hillary network.

1. She was asked FOR A WHOLE WEEK following the race speech. SHE REFUSED to answer until now.

Once the snipergate issue broke, she suddenly decided to answer. What a coincidence?

[question everything]

11. Perhaps, so what? This is politics, you wait for the right moment to say

what you want to say.

Otherwise Blitzer would have said: "once again Hillary refused to comment.."

[jenmito]

19. OR Wolf would've said, "She decided to remain above the fray by continuing to NOT answer.

[burythehatchet]

20. T-H-I-S-I-S-P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S

The standard Clinton response when caught in the gutter. This is politics. One candidate wants to change that. I'm voting for him.

[Inuca]

21. RIGHT moment to say

exactly! Wait for the controversy to quiet down a bit to enflame it anew. Wait to grt in trouble over non-existent snippers and attempy to deflect the "fire".

[wileedog]

32. Amazing that even McCain has refused to go there

Even fired a staffer who did.

But the other DEMOCRAT has no problem with it. Its just "politics".

Brutally selfish, self-serving and low class politics to boot.

[redqueen]

12. Funny how that's ignored by those who are still trying to pretend

like she hasn't done anything worthy of rebuke.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. So what?

You guys act like she OWES it to Obama to back him up on this issue.

She doesn't.

[Henryman]

28. She OWES it to the Democratic Party to not destroy it! n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

30. And Obama and his supporters

are somehow free of that obligation?

Sorry, but no matter how much it pisses you off, running against Obama is not "destroying the party". That's an asinine, whingeing assertion by people who just hate the sheer audacity of anyone challenging your guy.

[Henryman]

31. I've been annoyed by MonkeyFunk's posts here for weeks.

You are ignorant because you have no idea, nor any right to state that you know what your opposition in an argument knows or feels. Instead of debating, you state things like "the other side hates this" or "the other side feels this way". Therefore, your argument is weak. Please try to offer premises concerning facts, or about how you feel or what you know.
Just a tip to improve discourse here at DU.

23. She was studying the situation

just as I was.

My conclusion: the same as hers.

[babylonsister]

2. ...and just happened to have a scripted answer for a response. How

convenient!

[jenmito]

3. Ask yourself why she (and her surrogates) refused to answer WHEN ASKED up 'til yesterday.

Can you spell "desperation"?

[LSparkle]

5. And she CHOSE to answer to a paper owned by Richard Mellon Scaiffe ...

A rightwing rag that famously tarred and feathered her husband over the Lewinsky
affair. Nice choice of forum, Hill ...

[jenmito]

14. Yes-also the person who accused her of killing Vince Foster!

I guess they have common interests-to see her be the Dem. nominee.

[question everything]

17. If she was invited to this paper and she refused

she would have been attacked as "keeping old scores," or selecting only friendly forums - a-la Bush and Cheney.

She showed courage by going into the lion's den.

Didn't Obama go on Fox last week?

As the old saying go: you make peace with your enemies..

[LSparkle]

27. Why did she only decide to ANSWER the question when asked by them?

It just seems a bit suspicious that she responded "no comment" to other
media outlets, yet to THIS PAPER she elaborated?

Ew, what's that smell ... ????

[susankh4]

24. She was studying the situation

just as I was.

My conclusion was the same as hers. And I arrived at it around the same time.

[slinkerwink]

29. so you support her getting into bed with the conservatives that accused her of

killing Vince Foster?

[Connie_Corleone]

4. She had the answer written down just in case some reporter asked her about it.

That's the ticket.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. I have to respond...

Your .sig graphic!!!!! Bullseye in so many ways!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[susankh4]

25. I now have a written answer to refer to as well

for when my kids needle me on why I am siding with Hillary on this one. It's the prudent way to stay on topic.

[PylesMalfunction]

6. Oops

I read your first sentence and thought it said that Hillary was asked twice about her weight. I was about ready to go ballistic about how sexist it was for him to ask about it. Glad I read it again. :D

[gateley]

9. At least you had the good sense to re-read it.

I generally go off on a tear and post it, totally oblivious until someone asks what the hell I'm yammering about.

:hi:

[gateley]

7. It's not just with Hillary --

It's a Blitzer thing. I've watched interviews when someone was saying "blah blah blah" and Blitzer comes back with "so what you're saying is...". The person would respond "No, that's NOT what I was saying." (Once Biden had to come back with that THREE TIMS during an interview, and said "Wolf, you're doing it again...) Blitzer seems to just not UNDERSTAND what the fuck people are saying - he tries to tell them what they said and it's invariably inaccurate.

Even after pointing out his error or correcting him, he continues on the same path. So with him, it doesn't matter what was/wasn't done/said -- he'll report it how he sees it. Wrongly.

I feel for anybody who has to deal with Blitzer, and think it's time CNN got the hook and gave it a good yank.

[question everything]

10. Rigth, which is why Biden was my choice..

They have their written questions, and expect a certain answer, and when they do not get it exactly as they expected, they ask again.

[frogcycle]

16. of all the incompetant, self-important hacks in the media

blitzer is right up there

they are all more interested in how they sound asking than in what the answer is

[scheming daemons]

8. She just happened to have her answer written down........sure.....

...

...and she was asked about it for a week, but refused to answer UNTIL YESTERDAY.



She lies about everything else, why should we believe her anyway?

[Johnny__Motown]

18. Q-U-E-S-T-I-O-N... W-A-S ...A ..P-L-A-N-T....

[crankychatter]

22. The R-E-S-P-O-N-SE was S-C-R-I-P-T-E-D

geesh

[crispini]

26. shew a saked?

:wtf: Can I shew a sak myself?
