Will Larry King softball Rick Warren on his show tonight or push him on Conegate, eom?
Edited on Mon Aug-18-08 05:22 PM by EV_Ares
Rick Warren is going to be on Larry King tonight so I am curious about how far King will push him about the setup he used at his church and now the fiasco and screwup on what he touted in such a big way.

I don't see how he can avoid the question.

By the way, for those interested, Bill Mayer will be on King tomorrow night.

5. Warren Jeffs said the debate would be fair, and McCain wouldn't know the questions.
Yet McCain was fully aware of the questions while Obama was not.

10. McCain was supposedly under a 'cone of silence'
You know, like the one used in the show "Get Smart" or the soundproof booth in the "$64,000 Question".

He wasn't supposed to hear the questions until it was his turn. But when it WAS his turn, he answered so quickly, almost anticipating the questions, that it seemed he had been briefed on the questions beforehand.

And I say "beforehand" because we know that McSame isn't the swiftest at answering questions he isn't prepared for.

He'll probably ask for his opinion on Anna Nicole Smith.

You might try getting a life so you have something more constructive to do, otherwise you might be a busy little boy on this board looking after all of us that post something that upsets you so much. Maybe even a beer or a walk if you are wound that tight.

13. i just find people like you so funny
and completely lacking in any sort of originality that you are stuck on something decades old...and it is pitiful that calling me a 'little boy' is the best you can do...

it is fucking stupid that EVERY LITTLE THING gets -gate stuck on then end...just fucking stupid...but not as stupid as defending it...

something and yes you do act like a little boy. However, all of us that have stated conegate or I am sure something else, you are thanked for looking out for our welfare and thanks for your contribution to the board and subjects.

Now little boy with small mind, will move on to discussions with other adults. But before you go, you might want to correct this poster.

16. I have been posting for some time and fortunately not many like you.
As I said there are a lot of posts here and I don't go around as you and instead try to contribute instead of attack one of our own. You started this, haven't ever saw one of your posts so can't comment there but only this of which I saw no need in all of your excitement for such a negative comment. Whatever, as I said go to the link which is on the front page as there you will see another story with gate in it and appears you are the only on on this board upset about it.

So, as I said you can run along and be embarrassed for that one or attack it as you did this one.

Now, enough time as this is a waste.

17. i am sick to death of every little thing having -gate
stuck on the end...i have been posting here a hell of a lot longer than you...and if you had seen it as many fucking times as I have then perhaps you would feel the same way. it is embarrassing every time it happens now and is a particular pet peeve of mine...and if you haven't seen people here bitching about their favorite annoyances then you haven't been reading...

you can go feign concern over your precious 'time' somewhere else now...

18. Yeah, but we know what you have spent your time doing don't we.
Edited on Mon Aug-18-08 07:47 PM by EV_Ares
LOL, as I said if you are wound that tight you need help. Yes, there is bitching and arguing but your little pet peeve just goes way beyond most and that is your right and actually a little sad. Anyway, need to let you go so you can hit some more links and here is the main one again.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3443390

A lot of posts but nobody bitching about "gate" so they need you there.

Certainly been interesting meeting you.

Edited on Tue Aug-19-08 05:17 AM by ProdigalJunkMail
so you KNOW what I do here... and your pasting that link over and over again...well, you see, contrary to your opinion, i rarely post on these sorts of threads...especially to bitch about my issue with -gate. your thread was at the top of the page and so i made one irritated comment and YOU decided to turn it into a subthread defending your use of something that should have faded from the vernacular by now...so the next time you want to bitch about someone's use of your precious 'time' here on this board (strange that your little issue is no bigger or smaller than mine and the offense you take by my complaint indicates that MAYBE you are invested too much in this anonymous internet thingy going here) maybe you should go look in the mirror first...

minuit as this, the problem therein lies somewhere within you. Oh, did you you go voice your opinion at the link. Don't see how you could not with your obsession and your hatred issue with gate. Doubt that you did, your comment about the anonymous internet and looking in the mirror I would say pretty much goes in the direction you should take with that. I am not sure what you are saying with that but can see where with your issues it might apply to you as anyone who goes off the way you do, ballistic over something so small, has a problem and that certainly is you. Also, the fact that you brought it up shows it is something for you. Now go post something constructive for the group instead of your nitpicking ballistic blowups over some small issue deemed important to you.

27. It was pathetic...
Real journalism is dead in this country.

Warren said that no way could McBush have heard becasue he was with the Secret Service!!

So there!

Oh - and because he said so.

King didn't ask why he was running late -
never brought up the possibility of all the numerous ways he could have heard the questions, never brought up the fact that his cross story had been previously told, never asked if Cindy was with him, etc., etc., etc.

28. Right, what in the hell does the secret service have to do with any of this? It
is not up to them if he is watching, listening or not. Also, the fact is, it was up to Warren to make sure everything was as he assured everyone it was. The rules were broken. If McCain was delayed, why didn'he notify Warren he was not in the so-called cone of silence? Also, why didn't King ask him why McCain could answer a question before it was asked and why when McCain mentioned or asked about talking on Georgia why Warren did as he asked and went back and allowed McCain to do a stump speech that Warren had warned obama not to do. So many things, appears it was just a way to highlight the forum again for Warren.

Also, did you notice when King asked him if he was satisfied with the answer he got from both candidates on who is rich, he replied he was disapointed that neither one got specific. Obama did get specific with the 250,000. McCain basically refused to answer and threw out 5 million.

Yeah, about as fair and balanced as Fox.
