Subject: RE: Hillary's Offensive, Dangerous Comment From: GUEST,Stringsinger Date: 24 May 08 - 05:26 PM Your criticisms of Olbermann deny the fact that he is probably the only newscaster on national media who is telling the truth. In fact, his wit is a saving grace. I remember the McCarthy era when Edward R. Murrow was given short-shrift in the same way for truth-telling. Keith's rant about Hillary was absolutely appropriate and I for one don't want her in the White House. Where's her ability for diplomacy in a world that needs this of our president more than all the military posturing and macho-breast-beating about attacking instead of the cowardice of avoiding negotiations with those leaders who we don't like? This latest faux-pas goes along with her "obliteration" remarks regarding Iran. In her autobiography, she talks about deliberately avoiding Castro by running off from him rather than having a substantive talk. I think she may be McCain in a pantsuit. Olbermann is not a coward nor an equivocator such as the other bobble-headed so-called pundits on national media. He tells it like he sees it. He is honest. This specious dismissal of his talents indicate that there are those who don't get it when it comes to truthful revelations. They prefer to denigrate the messenger out of some kind of snob appeal. No one has successfully brought the hypocrisy to the attention of the American public on national media until Donahue and Olbermann. Bill Moyers is at the mercy of PBS and doesn't get the exposure that he deserves. Olbermann has the good sense to call upon Rachel Madow and Eugene Robinson for an analytic political viewpoint without the reactionary knee-jerk that reflects the voting public today who are in thrall to the infotainment newscasters. You better be thankful for our democracy that we have someone like Keith Olbermann around. Frank |
Subject: RE: Hillary's Offensive, Dangerous Comment From: Amos Date: 24 May 08 - 05:42 PM SAN JUAN, P.R. -- This afternoon, Barack Obama responded to Hillary Clinton's comments yesterday when she referenced th assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as a reason she's staying in the race this year. Obama said he believes that Clinton was not trying to be offensive. "I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here," Obama said in a radio interview today. "Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that."

Subject: RE: Hillary's Offensive, Dangerous Comment From: Joe Offer Date: 24 May 08 - 05:58 PM Some people go through life, looking for things to take offense at. I think it's clear that Mrs. Clinton didn't mean to imply anything about an assassination in this campaign. Her point was simply that she's not ready to give up. I'm glad Barack Obama was more sensible and gracious about it than the pundits were. Makes me think he might make a good president. Maybe we'd all be better off if we were less easily offended. Maybe this election would mean something if people actually cared about the issues and not all the minor mistakes that human people make naturally. I'm still convinced that we have THREE very good candidates for president this year. I don't know that I agree with the closure of this thread, but I guess I'll leave it closed. -Joe Offer- |
