Frigging CNN again...!!
That creepy anchor just said that although it might be construed by the Dems as political, theere will be 'a lot of people happy to see President Bush' in Florida. this was in answer to Dana Bash's comment that * has been known not to show up to catastrophes in the past. Thassa fact. For a change...

She should just stop sneering and read the 'news'. What gives every low-I.Q., second-tier idiot, the right to comment, whenever he or she feels like it?

3. I've e-mailed them
about 10000 times over the past 3+ years. Lotta good it does. they get one asshole after another - that narrow-faced blonde last weekend was the limit. I was apoplectic over her characterization of Kerry/Edwards 'speeding thru the town' that was 'waiting for them' with 'nary a smile'.

Who'd have guessed that at midnight, 5000 people would be waiting for a train?

10. Me too. I finally stopped. Ain't worth it.
I have come to the conclusion that emailing them tells them we are watching. If there are no emails maybe they will get worried.

6. Yeah I'm sending my own letter
but it's like peeing into the wind.

I'm telling you, the fascists are just getting stronger.

Years ago, Mike Kinsley, on Crossfire, said to Nofacts, "Bob, sneering is not an argument."

Nobody seems to know this anymore...

4. I thought Dana Bash did an excellent job of saying
how * visit will take away needed resources and that Kerry has instructed his staffers to help as much as possible without getting in the way.

8. I've stopped watching CNN about 200 times.
the problem is - whattya gonna do? You return hoping like a drug or alcohol counselor hopes that his or her client is off the stuff. Then each time, you're kicked in the nuts.

"It feels so good when you stop."

12. Yes, but...
CNN has the 'panache' of the early Cable News days. It's hard to get past that - don't ask, I know I'm mentally retarded; the definition of insanity is doing the same stupid thing over and over and expecting a different result.

11. quit whining about CNN and join the BLITZ!
everyday there are endless posts about...did you see what CNN did, did you hear what CNN did.

Put that wasted energy into writing a letter for the "BLITZ" and cruise to other boards you know of and get others in on it. If they aren't connected have them phone in or better yet do both.

ENOUGH!

13. It's not an issue of 'whining'...
here, I whine,onlineto the news organizations and other boards, and in my practice, I spend hours instructing people and e-mailing and discussing the clear prejudice of the network news folk.

There's nothing wrong with commiserating among friends...or people who you THINK are your friends.

15. Cnn's been telling people to send money to Jeb's non-profit org
instead of the Red Cross. it's an outrage considering Jeb's criminal history of fraud.
