SPEECH REACTION: MSNBC LIBERALS ALL MOCKING EDWARDS TAUNT TO AL QAEDA!

MSNBC | 7/28/04 | Matthews, Fineman, Andrea Mitchell & more

[Steven W.]

Edwards is getting skewered for his almost grinning taunt to AlQaeda ... Howard Fineman notes if that's the best the Dems have got then the US will decide "we need Dick Cheney". Andrea Mitchell notes that it's impossible for Edwards to say anything and come across seriously because he's so young and Scarborough cracks a joke about how AlQaeda cannot take "the Breck Girl" seriously. Meanwhile on CNN lib gal laments Edwards came across as a slick "game show host" and "Jr." by any comparison.

[Steven W.]

Can you say LOSER ?

I knew you could! ;)

[Asclepius]

What did Edwards say? Please enlighten me.

[U S Army EOD]

When you tune the Democratic National Convention in and for the first thiry minutes you think you are watching the Jerry Springer show, it is difficult to take anything serious that the Democrats are doing.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Interesting !!

[RepubMommy]

What did Edwards say? Please enlighten me.

Big fat whole lot of nothing

[dennisw]

Breck Girl!! Chasing Al Qaeda is a lot different than chasing ambulances.

[woofie]

What did Edwards say? Please enlighten me.

There was a significant amount of noise

[Texasforever]

Well I guess Edwards could file suit aginst Al Queda. That is about all he is good for.

[aruanan]

Edwards is getting skewered for his almost grinning taunt to AlQaeda ...

Did he wag his bag and say, "Bite this, Osama"?

[clintonh8r]

Big fat whole lot of nothing.

That would be Mrs. Edwards...

[ShandaLear]

Oh my, FOXNews was quite complimentary of him even though they basically said he was full of it. If the libs didn't like him, he's in big trouble.

[hope]

He said the same pretty much the same thing W said when we were about to go kick their arses in Afghanistan..."The terrorist can't run and can't hide. We will hunt them down and destroy them."

[Steven W.]

Edwards tried to play tough and threaten Al Qaeda, "we are going to destroy you" and amost started grinning before the words even left his mouth. It was amateur-city. and given all the progress President Bush has made, combined with the fact Edwards voted against the $87 billion, the whole thing left his lips with a touch of total insincerity it was the verbal equivalent of Dukakis in the tank.

[Chunga]

Please provide the remarks by Edwards.

[Petronski]

I believe someone on MSNBC provided my new tagline. Thanks to whomever.

[dennisw]

When you tune the Democratic National Convention in and for the first thiry minutes you think you are watching the Jerry Springer show, it is difficult to take anything serious that the Democrats are doing.

I like it when they start dancing and swaying to crappy music in between speakers. I swear 75% of the crowd looks like gubbermint employees, teachers and social workers.

[Chode]

Edwards = EDSALL = LOOOOOOSER!!! Kerry/Edsall-04

[clintonh8r]

FNC has been very easy on the lefties all week long.

[ScottFromSpokane]

Phew. I never know how this kind of stuff will play with the general public (Clinton is seen as charming?! I still can't believe that). It's good to know that even lefties think Edwards is kind of a joke.

[nuffsenuff]

LOL! .. his bag... ROTFLMAO!

[Right Angler]

Now the rest of the country is finding out what we North Carolinians have known for a while.

[hope]

If they are trying to get the undecided vote by copying the president regarding Al Qaeda, what does that tell you?

[Kahuna]

Edward's speach was the most "plastic banana rama" gig I have ever heard. He managed to make Clinton look like a "Statesman".

[Steven W.]

Transcript: And we will have one clear unmistakable message for al Qaida and the rest of these terrorists. You cannot run. You cannot hide. And we will destroy you.

ROFLMAO!

[bitt]

He promised more money, more hope, more happiness. He did not promise that we would be alive to enjoy those things.

Kerry and Kennedy and Clinton spent the last 8-20 years doing their best to avoid confronting the gathering storm that hit us on 9/11.

I trust no one but Bush to protect my family.

Make a commercial about the storm coming from the east...with the Dems laughing and hiding impeachmemnt papers and cigars...show the hit on the WTC...show families crying around the TV (like we all did)...remind them who went into action.

[Ann Archy]

I watched a few minutes of Little Johhny's speech and he was "NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME"!! My gosh...even his MOTHER knew he isn't ready!

[Mo1]

On MNSNBC they were also commenting on how the election primaries started with Dean and the Anti War crowd and how this speech of Edwards just kicked these folks to the side

Those people ARE the base

[hotshu]

Shrillary must have put out the word "Draw the long knives"

[The Wizard]

must have been bad

[Ann Archy]

Did he say..." BRING IT ON"??

[wingman1]

"Those people ARE the base"

Look for Nader to get a slight bump

[ShandaLear]

All he did tonight was reinforce the fact that he and Kerry are two of the biggest liberals to ever run for Pres/VPres.

[hope]

I swear he was going to...I think he wants to save it for Kerry.

[Steven W.]

can only hope Hanoi John saves "BRING IT ON" for tomorrow night!

[ArmyBratproud]

DEMS TOSS AMERICAN FLAGS ON THE FLOOR AT CONVENTION!

On FNC they cut to Carl Cameron out in the crowd and he was showing some signs that the crowd had...and he made note of...and the camera showed......how American Flags that the Dem convention goers had were just tossed on the ground.

I guess the dems thought that once the Networks were done....there was no more need to show pride in the USA.

[hotshu]

Shrillary must have put out the word to draw the long knives.

Sorry for the previous oops.

[deport]

What did Edwards say? Please enlighten me.

[The Wizard]

tremendous line.....

[Bubba_Leroy]

He said the same pretty much the same thing W said when we were about to go kick their arses in Afghanistan.

The big difference is it was believable when W said it. John-Boy looked like he was about to start giggling.

[NotchJohnson]

His Al queda talk was brief. Mostly it was class warfare and a hope or excitement for the future. Fir anyone that uses emotion, he will do well.

[woodyinscc]

I wish I would have thought of it first. Great tagline.!!

[Steven W.]

Frank Luntz focus group (I usually hate theses): "most of you liked some of the message but you didn't like the guy" ... what's up with that?

[Theresawithanh]

It tells me that all of the phony window-dressing and supposedly trying to not make this convention a Bush-Bash fest has come unraveled, and they want to sound tough and really hard a@@ instead of wimpy.

[RightWhale]

75% of the crowd looks like gubbermint employees, teachers and social workers.

While they don't actually look any different than anybody else, they probably are mostly wealthy retired people who are up in the Party organization at home.

[yankeedame]

He said the same pretty much the same thing W said when we were about to go kick their arses in Afghanistan..."The terrorist can't run and can't hide. We will hunt them down and destroy them."

To which "they" all rolled their eyes and went, "Oh, pall-eese!

[Steven W.]

I saw that - flags strewn all over the floor, just shunned aside once they were no longer needed as this evening's prop.

[Brimack34]

I glad someone is watching this stuff so I do not have to. I am only listening to Rush and Savage-They do not have any liberals on to make me sick.

[Mo1]

On FNC they cut to Carl Cameron out in the crowd and he was showing some signs that the crowd had...and he made note of...and the camera showed......how American Flags that the Dem convention goers had were just tossed on the ground.

I saw that also ... and I'm not surprised they would do that

[lonestar]

Breck Girl!! Chasing Al Qaeda is a lot different than chasing ambulances.

I love it!

[hope]

Wasn't the theme for the 2000 RNC convention "Help is on the way?" I noticed the familiarity with the "hope is on the way" placards tonight...That's about all they can offer!
