SAWYER: Well, free speech enables you to end this interview by attacking me! Thank you very much. You have got to read this interview. If Sayer thinks that Larry Elder was attacking her, we're in so much trouble.

Diane Sawyer. Yet another intellectual failure heard from.

SAWYER: Well, free speech enables you to end this interview by attacking me! Thank you very much. Sounds like she was expecting to be attacked by the conservative.
Or maybe she wanted to give that impression.

You hit the nail on the head. What these brainiacs don’t realize is that if they don’t quit with this hyper-sensitive tyranny, the amount of resent generated will outweigh any “benefit” of minding “p’s” and “q’s” when expressing one’s constitutional right to an opinion.

Funny thing is Dianne will have one of her staff check FR for this posting and she will be very upset that she did not come off as the ‘golden goddess’ she wants to be revered as and that someone mentioned her face looks like corrugated cardboard these days. tsk-tsk

This all started with Clinton, when they fended off legimate criticism by calling it a “personal attack.” Meanwhile it was fine for the Dems to start referring to conservatives as extremists.
Gee, I thought Diane was supposed to be a Republican because 30+ years ago she worked for Nixon. The left point this out as if it somehow brings “balance” to the media. What a laugh. As Ann Coulter pointed out, Sawyer was a low level staffer in the Nixon White House, and after President Nixon left office. She was hardly a right wing activist.

We were at dinner two nights ago, before this even reached this frenzied point, and the people sitting at the table next to us said this was turning people against minorities because of the double standard.

but one sensed that Sawyer's feelings had indeed been hurt, and that Elder was trying to recover from what he feared might have been a GMA-career ending momentAnd here we are. A liberal gets her feelings hurt and leaves her guest wondering if HIS remarks might be the next food for the feeding frenzy.

And Elder is a social liberal!! But he’s not fiscally liberal so just like our freepers who think if one isn’t a socon then one can’t possibly be conservative, we have the libs going after the less than pure liberals.

Just because Larry Elder is a black American, does not make him right or give him a opportunity to speak in Diane Sawyer’s world.
To the politically correct, what is of utmost importance is that you agree with them. Especially in the infotainment world of ABCDisney news for housewives.
The programs are not about dialgue, they are about soundbites and the appearance of balance (”See, we have a conservative on!!!”).
Al Sharpton has repeatedly refused to appear on Larry Elder’s show.

To: weegee
That’s a good point, weegee.
A lot of freepers have steadily maintained that it is the liberals who try to keep minorities from advancing into the protected world of the limousine liberals, and things like this interview prove that to be so.

Wow, Diane has thin skin. And seems to be dumb as well. I guess she couldn’t think fast enough to recover from a perfectly logical, and correct, point.

These people are reminding me of that snot nose little brat who no one liked to play with at school because they were forever running to the teacher

Nah. Sawyer knew Larry wasn’t attacking her. It’s just projection and a useful idiot buzzword. Accuse the other guy of doing what you are doing/what you usually do. I saw Mary Ann Marsh accuse GWB of ‘going negative’ in the run up to the 2004 election when GWB had said nothing even remotely questionable. The first accuser always gets the sympathy.

If Sawyer thinks that Larry Elder was attacking her, we're in so much trouble.It appears that any contradiction or clarification by any non-liberal is going to be characterized as an attack. I find this reaction by Ms. Sawyer very, very surprising...and maybe alarming.
