11. Congressman need to read the Constitution
CBS should do an internal review

Substance of charges are what is important

Hannity said something about investigating Dems in connection with Docs

Bernstein says Nixon dirty tricks famous for stuff like this subtle dig

14. Hannity wanted to hammer the forged documents angle only
Bernstein would not let him play that game, he wanted to focus on the fact that the basic facts in the documents are true and that nobody was denying that. Bernstein then pushed the argument that the press should be following journalistic ethics and getting at the objective truth of both candidates war records but side-stories such as these only derail that whole process. All that Hannity could sputter was that this was a huge scandal (CBS) HUGE (Hannity's emphasis - with lots of typical Hannity hand waving and finger pointing for emphasis - boy that bothers me). Going as far as insinuating that it would play out to be a bigger scandal than Watergate - Hannity is so logically and ethically bankrupt it blows my head!

15. I only caught the end of it.
Bernstein said that since the contents of the memos are true, even if the physical papers are in doubt, the debate should shift to what Bush did before he was president and after he became president, and not the endless details of typefaces. Colmes was pressing hard and Hannity finally started snarling that it must have been a plant from the Democrats and started yelling that it should be investigated. (This is as best a paraphrase as I can manage).

8. lol, details please!!!
I remember a few months ago they had, what they thought at the time was a "fox news liberal" on the show with Coulter and Hannity and he proceeded to tear Bush a new asshole, Coulter lost her mind and called liberals a "bunch of rabid monkeys" while hannity was just foaming at the mouth and pointing like he was going to physically attack the guest or the worthless thug that he is. Damn I wish I'd remembered that liberals name...

10. I loved how Hannity showed what a child he is when
he refused to look/listen to Carl - acted like he was reading, but he was furious. After him saying if it's found out the Dems did this it's a HUGE story, I wish it would come out that KKKarl did it. What sweet justice that would be.

13. Man of integrity Bernstein Smushes Screeching Wackball Shammity
Edited on Wed Sep-15-04 08:33 PM by jefferson_dem
Among other points, he said...

- CBS needs to further check the credibility of the documents internally and then report.

- "Memogate" (the term which he scoffed at) is a "sideshow." What's important from a journalistic is what these two candidates actually did. He recommended FauxNews produce an investigative report called "daddy what did you do in the war".

- Calls for a congressional investigation reek and the members should read the constitution before even suggesting such a thing.

- It's absolutely NOT an issue of media BIAS but about journalistic responsibility.

18. You forgot to mention
that Bernstein called bush a shirker a couple of times. I thought slant head's head would explode. Funny to watch.

16. I missed it - now they're showing a "fair and balanced" debate between
Michael Reagan and "former Democratic strategist" Pat Caddell.

21. Thanks for filling us in!
That's the thing about INSAnity -- when faced with someone he can't shout down and who actually wants to stand up, he can't deal with it. He has like one or two pre-scripted arguments and if people get around those, he's got nothing -- nothing! Well, except all that spittle.
